Sports, unknown dates. These fourteen black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. Many different film rolls were used in the creation of these images, so some of the physical numbers on the strips used to differentiate between images are repeated one or more times. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to which film roll they originally came from. 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 large garden, landscape shots of rural farmland, and a track meet. Image 36a shows a large garden with rows of a crop. The crop appears to be onions.
