Saints Basketball and Team, 1980. These images were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using four separate film rolls, so some of the pysical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to which film roll from which they originally came. Each of these groups 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 men's college practice basketball game between two different squads from St. Martin's University.
