Football, 1973 & 1975. These nineteen black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images appear to have been created with five separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. 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 a Thurston County youth football practice. A man with a mustache wearing street clothes, presumably the coach, is physically participating in the practice. All of the children are in full football gear. All of these images (29a-44a and 1a-3a) show the practice underway. These images are dated 10-1-75.
The images in group "b" show cheerleaders posing for group photos and a football game underway. A note on the corresponding contact print strips reads "NT," suggesting that one of the teams is North Thurston High School, but this cannot be confirmed because the images are too blurry. One of the teams appears to have a "T" on the side of their helmets, which makes it likely that team is from Timberline High School. Images 34b-36b show a group of five female cheerleaders posing for a photo. Images 37b-40b show a group of four different female cheerleaders posing for a photo. Images 41b-44b and 1b-3b show the football game underway. These images are dated 10-24-73.
The images in group "c" show a football game between two unknown teams. A note on the corresponding contact print strips reads "NT," suggesting that one of the teams is North Thurston High School. However, neither team appears to have North Thurston's distinctive ram horn-shaped logo on the side of their helmets, suggesting that the note is in error. All of these images 34c-37c and 44c-11c show the game underway. These images are dated 10-24-73.
The images in group "d" show a football game between the team from Chinook Middle School and an unknown team. Image 27d shows the game underway. Images 28d and 29d show one of the teams gathered around a coach. Images 30d-34d show four girls in cheerleading uniforms with "WARRIORS" on the tops posing for photos. Images 35d-44d and 1d-2d show the game underway. These images are dated 10-10-73.
The images in group "e" show two different young men in football uniforms posing for photos, and a football game being played. Images 42e-44e show a young man wearing a North Thurston High School football uniform with the name "McAllister" print on the front of the jersey posing for photos. He is visible from the waist up. Images 2e-4e show the same young man from the previous images, but here his whole body is visible and he is in various running poses. Images 5e-7e shows a different young man in a North Thurston football uniform posing for photos. The name on the front of his jersey is "Skoggin." Here he is visible from the waist up. Images 8e-10e show this young man in a two-point football stance. Images 11e-16e show football game between two unknown teams underway. These images are dated 10-24-73.Made/Created
