North Thurston Homecoming, 1973. These seven black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using two separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are duplicated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show one young man and two young women posing individually for portrait-style photos. These images appear to have been captured in a lightly-wooded area outside of a school, which is presumably North Thurston High School. Image 32a shows a young man with shoulder-length, slightly wavy hair wearing a horizontally-striped, button-up shirt. This young man also has some acne scarring on his cheeks. This young man's head and shoulders are turned partially toward the left-hand side of the image frame. He is looking toward the left-hand side of the image frame, and he is not smiling. He is shown from the upper-chest up. Image 33a is very similar to the previous image, but here the young man is shown from the mid-torso up. Image 34a shows the young man with his shoulders oriented directly toward the camera and his head facing slightly toward the right-hand side of the image frame. He is looking off toward the right-hand side of the image frame and is smiling. He is shown from the shoulders-up. Image 35a is very similar to the previous image, but here the young man's eyes are partially closed. Image 36a is very similar to image 35a, but here the young man is shown from the mid-torso up. Image 37a shows a young woman with long, wavy hair pinned up on her left side wearing a plaid shirt over a sweater, which is in turn over a collared shirt. Her head and body are turned partially toward the left-hand side of the image frame. She is looking toward the left-hand side of the image frame and she is smiling. She is shown from the chest up. Image 38a is very similar to image 37a, but here the young woman is shown from the mid-torso up.
