Track meet, unknown date. These six film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. Two of the strips hold six images each (images 24-28 and 29-33), two of the strips hold four images each (images 41-44 and 1-4), and two strips hold three images each (images 18-20 and 21-23). All of these images show a youth track meet. Image 18 shows a young person standing on a track and walking away from the camera while a group of approximately ten individuals are walking on the track toward the camera in the background. At the center background of the photo are some stands with a large number of people seated on them. Image 19 shows approximately eight people standing on the stands and all looking toward their left. There is a young person at the left of the frame with long straight hair, a young boy with curly hair at the center of the frame, and a man in a plaid shirt at the right of the frame. Image 20 shows a young man in long pants about to cross the finish line in a race. Six other participants in the race are trailing him, and several adults or older children stand at the right of the frame. Image 21 shows a young man in Nike brand shoes and a shirt with the number 39 (or possibly 35) on the back running on a sports field with a set of field goal posts in the background. Two young men stand at the right-hand side of the frame. Image 22 shows four young men standing on the stands. Two of them are wearing shirts which read "LYDIA HAW..." (the last letter or letters of the last name are not visible, but other images show that the shirts say "LYDIA HAWK"). Other people in the stands are visible behind these four young men. Image 23 shows a young man crossing the finish line in a race. His shirt has the number 44 on it, and it also reads "Mountain View Marauders." Image 24 shows a young man participating in a high jump competition, in mid-jump. His shirts reads "LYDIA HAWK" and several other young people and adults are watching. Image 25 shows a young person also in mid-jump in a high jump competition. This young person is wearing running shorts over a pair of sweat pants, and has a wristband on their right wrist. Image 26 shows another young man in mid-jump in a high jump competition. This young person is wearing striped socks and shorts, and the word "wild" is visible on his shirt, along with other unreadable text. Image 27 shows approximately 14 young people running in a race. The young woman in the lead is wearing a shirt which reads "Mountain View Marauders." Image 28 shows a young person in mid-jump in a long jump competition. One older young man is crouching just to the left of the young man jumping and he is holding a measuring tape. Another young man stands at the far left of the image, and several spectators watch from the background. Image 29 shows what appears to be the same young person from image 28 participating in a long jump competition, but he is landing from the jump. The young man from the far left of image 28 is not visible in this image. Image 30 shows a different young person in mid-jump in a long jump competition. This jumper's shirt reads "Evergreen" with an unreadable word below. The older young man crouching and holding the measuring tape in images 28 and 29 is still present in this image. Image 31 shows approximately 13 young people running in a race. Of the three young people in or near the lead is one in a "LYDIA HAWK" shirt, another in an "Evergreen Forest" shirt, and a third in a "Lakes Lakers" shirt. Image 32 shows a young woman with a long braid in mid-jump in a high jump competition. Both of her arms are reaching out to her sides. Image 33 shows the same girl again in mid-jump, but in this image her right arm is extended out in front of her. Image 41 shows four male children particpating in a race, and one of these four is about to cross the finish line. From the left to right of the frame, these children's shirts read "Evergreen Forest," "Lakes Lakers," one shirt with no text or logo, and "Mountain View Marauders." Image 42 shows three female children participating in a race, and two of them are very close to crossing the finish line at the same time. The female child at left is wearing an "Evergreen Forest" shirt, while the other two participants' shirts have no text or logo. Image 43 shows seven young men finishing a race. From left to right, their shirts read "Lacey," "South Bay," "Evergreen Forest," two blank shirts, "LH," and "Mountain View Marauders." Image 44 shows approximately 30 individuals in the stands looking toward their left. There are three young people visible in the front row. The male child at left in the front row is wearing a "Lacey" shirt, as is the female child at right. The male child at center is wearing a zippered sweatshirt. Image 1 shows approximately 70 people standing in the stands and looking toward their left. There is a man in the center of the front row wearing glasses and a windbreaker jacket.

At the center of the front row is a bearded man in a cap and glasses and holding a clipboard. Image 3 shows a young person in mid-jump in a long jump competition. This young person is wearing a "Mountain View" shirt. To the right of the jumper is a young woman in a striped sweatshirt holding one end of the measuring tape.
