Phoenix Indian High School was next to the high school that I went to. The students were taken from tribes across Arizona and the original intent was to "Americanize" them. It started in 1895 and was shut down in 1990. Even though the school was right next to mine, I never thought about the students at the school. I would see them sometimes gather out on the sidewalk in front of the school at times but I am not sure if they were allowed to wander away from the school. Looking back, I do feel bad for those students. Some of them might have enjoyed being at the school as they got older but I am sure that most missed being back home with their families.

No Swimsuit Police anywhere to be seen in this photo. Perhaps France had no knee-to-hemline regulation length at the time, compared to some other countries, or was there?

I've posted this before, but I think it merits another, this time with a link to some back story. I am deeply moved when I see this photo.
The Kiss of Life
On July 17, 1967, a Florida photographer named Rocco Morabito captured one electrical lineman saving the life of another in an image that would go down in history.

Bill Norton, the bathing beach "cop," using a tape measure to determine the distance between a woman's knee and the bottom of her bathing suit on a beach in Washington, D.C.
I wonder if he was using an official issue and calibrated tape measure? You have to wonder how many police officers lined up to volunteer for this particular duty.
I'll leave it to you to come up with a suitable job assignment description: Previous experience in the use of a tape measure is not necessary, as extensive training will be given, including appropriate kneeling posture. Applicants must be highly focused, have warm hands, and an understanding wife who is unquestioning of your occasional sand covered pants.

A seven-year-old oyster shucker who speaks no English works at the Lowden Canning Company in Bluffton, S.C. 1913.
Wyatt Earp, the legendary law man, gunfighter, gambler, businessman and miner along with his wife, Josephine, inhabited this “dream-come-true” cottage from 1925 through 1928, winter and spring months, while he worked his “Happy Days” mines in the Whipple Mountains a few miles north of this site. This is the only permanent residence they owned in their long lives.
They bought a small cottage in nearby Vidal and lived there during the fall, winter and spring months of 1925 – 1928, while he worked his “Happy Days” mines in the Whipple Mountains a few miles north. It was the only place they owned the entire time they were married. They spent the winters of his last years working the claims but lived in Los Angeles during the summers, where Wyatt died on January 13, 1929.
