2007-012.Q597PDescription
Saint Martin's Practice Game, 1979. 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 repeated. For the purposes of this description, the strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case number 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 a ceremony of some kind and what appears to be a practice game between two squads of Saint Martin's College basketball team. It is possible that the teams are actually from Saint Martin's High School instead of the college. All of these images were captured inside of the Capital (Marcus) Pavilion on the Saint Martin's campus. Image 8a shows a woman in a Hawaiian-style grass skirt kissing a man with a mustache. A different man is standing on the right-hand side of the image. Image 9a is similar to the previous image, but the woman is kissing a different man, and the man being kissed in the previous image is standing on the right-hand side of the image. Images 10a and 11a show seventeen men standing in a row on the basketball court. These are the team members and likely coaches and other people who assist the team. Most are wearing basketball shorts and warm-up tops. All or most are also wearing leis. Image 12a shows the team members laying on the basketball court and stretching. Image 13a shows four female cheerleaders and one adult man waving pom-poms. Image 14a shows a sign hanging on the retracted stands reading "Kansas City Bound," "SMC" and various men's first names. Images 15a through 18a show the game in progress. Image 19a shows a courtside meeting. The team members are sitting on the bottom row of the bleachers and a coach is kneeling down in front of them. Images 20a through 36a show the game in progress.
All of the images in group "b" (22b-27b and 34b-37b) show the same game in progress.Made/Created
