Spoonemore Bis, Box 79, 1949
There’s a second photoshoot with Iris Mae Spoonemore tucked away in this box. Iris changes outfits and there’s some more defined make-up. She’s equally more at easy and manages a smile at times. She changed the locket to a strand of pearls. Joel, using different filmstock, starts out at the same Magnolias and then ventures…

Iris Mae Spoonemore, Box 79, 1949
It was hard to read the contents on this box with a total of 46 images, a new record ! Iris Spenemere is all that I could read. A quick search on the UOP digital library showed only one Iris in 1949, and some further genealogical research came up with the full name. Iris Mae…

COP Homecoming, Box 78, 1957
Although this box has an expiration date of Dec 1949, the contents are mostly related to the “Homecoming Parade” of College of Pacific on Saturday, October 19, 1957. We’re jumping 8 years ahead, and yes, there’s a difference in feel noticeable throughout the images. The world is changing. Tommy, the Pacific Tiger, is prominently featured…

Christmas, Box 77, Dec 1948
After photographing all these products for K.P.F. Electric, it is time for a Christmas meal. August Julius Pahl is inviting and doing the honors. The year prior we’ve seen Christmas dinner at his place also (1947) with Jack Pahl and Genevieve Brooks and the children. The rest of the images are all about unwrapping presents…

K.P.F. Electric, Box 76, Dec 1948
K.P.F. Electric was a San Francisco company, founded in 1904, and August Julius Pahl was the managing president. There’s no longer much to find about the company, and I was always wondering what type of electrical engineering they were involved in. This box of negatives gives the answer I was looking for. K.P.F. Electric was…

Dr. Scott’s children, Box 75, 1949
This box of negatives has 24 sheets in it, and only covers one photoshoot. The children of Dr. Scott, possibly 1949. As usual, I did some genealogy and City of Stockton Registry research, and came up with Dr. Wirt Stanley Scott Jr., Physician and Surgeon, practicing at 2633 Pacific Avenue. Dr. Scott was born Jan…

A Christmas Pageant, Box 74, Dec 20 1948
The title on this box was self explanatory, the contents illustrative. Before we check out the “Christmas Pageant”, I’m showing two water polo images that were both published in the Naranjado 1949 College of Pacific Yearbook. The rest of the images all belong to the “Christmas Pageant” documentary photo shoot. Date is Dec 20, 1948,…

A Stockton Christmas, Box 73, Dec 1948
December 28, 1948 was something special for the kids, and adults, of Stockton. Next few images show us the anticipation, and Joel is playing this little game building the tension up through images. The other aspect of these images is, find your grandparents in this bunch ! We don’t always appreciate that they were kids…

All the King’s Men, Box 72, Dec 10, 1948
Negative Box 72 was found with multiple subjects, and upon closer examination, contained images shot during the filming of “All the King’s Men” at the COP Morris Chapel. Shooting of the movie was from Dec 1948 to Feb 1949. The date Joel left behind on the box was Dec 10, 1948. It’s no secret that…

Dr. Nelson Hospital, Box 71, 1948
Dr. George Nelson was a veterinarian, with an animal hospital at 1234 N Wilson Way, Stockton, this according to the Stockton-Lodi City Directory of 1949. We can’t be sure how Joel got to do this commercial photoshoot. Maybe Dr. Nelson knew Joel’s late father, Thomas Lawrence Dardis, a veterinarian himself. The first three negatives however…
