Majorettes and football, Box 67, 1948
There are two subjects in this box. What appears to be few images from majorette out of a parade we’ve seen before. This time there’s an name, I can make out Jo Ann Fonseca-Marquard (sic). There’s also a note “Lodi Parade”. The rest are images from a Loyola – Pacific football game at night in…

Rhizomia Dance, Box 66, Feb 28, 1948
Another Rhizomia event, this time in a box that is clearly labeled from a time and subject perspective. Rhizomia parties are well known for pushing the edge, that’s why Joel probably didn’t miss a single Rhizomite event. There’s a Parisian motif throughout this time, lingerie, Moulin Rouge, Folie Bergère, and edgy portraits adore the (papered)…

Family etc, Box 64, June July 1948
This is another negative collection box with multiple subjects. The majority is Pahl family related, most likely on few different days. And yes, there are babies involved. First image is misplaced, it’s the start of a horse race and we’ve seen related images prior to this blog post when Joel was at Stanford University. Next…

Bush-Mack, Box 62, June 5, 1948
All the pencil mark sait on the box was Bush-Wack, June 5, 1948. This was the same negative box with the images of the full 1700 block on Pacific Avenue, where we observed the construction of the Tuxedo Park Office starting in 1947. I believe Joel was friends with Philipe Bush. They both graduated in…

Sierra Railway, Box 61, 1948
It looks like Joel took a trip to Jamestown as far as my research showed. And because of William Maxwell’s comments below, we can guess with some accuracy the rest of the itinerary. So, I took the liberty updating the image captions and add some context. William Maxwell, archivist for the Bank of Stockton, is…

Tau Kappa Kappa, Box 61, Oct 1948
Before we look at the Morris Chapel wedding, there’s still box 61 with 21 negatives to look at. Joel wrote “Tau Kappa Kappa Dance, Oct 29, 1948”. Yes, there are few other subjects mixed in, and we’ll look at these tomorrow. The rest are all large and small group shots of Tau Kappa Kappa women,…

Car Race, Box 60, Summer 1948
This box has as usual multiple subjects spread over 22 negatives. The box states June-July 1948, but with some circus images mixed in between, this should be May-July 1948. I’m not sure where the car race is held. Lodi or Stockton I would say. And Joel is again struggling with light leaks in this film…

Two models, Box 59, 1948
Last blog post we ended showing students lounging in the sun around the College of Pacific swimming pool. Today we’re looking at portraits of three of the students willing to play model for a few images. The appeal of photographs ! Joel is clearly influenced by the posing habits of the days, the examples he…

COP Football, Box 59, 1948
The next set of negatives in this box dated June-July 1948, are football practice related. Joel reminds us that he’s still working hard on his photography portfolio. And Joel got finally his first portrait of Amos Alonzo Stagg, the “Grand Old Man of Football”, head coach for the Pacific Tigers from 1933 to 1946, and…

Acrobats, Box 59, May 1948
This box contains 33 negatives with multiple subjects covered. Before we start, this is the 100th blog post, I’ve scanned well over 1500 images so far, with the vast majority shown over 100 posts. There are 4 negatives of a circus acrobat routine. This is from the Clyde Beatty Circus that was in Stockton, May…
