Laney Trade and Technical Institute, Central Trade School - Dressmaking and Home Sewing





Photographic print (black and white, glossy) of a woman (wearing a work smock), seated at a Singer sewing machine, machine embroidering the name of "Westlake" on towels.

Westlake was a relatively new junior high school (in Oakland) at the time; these towels were probably used for showers in the PE Departments.

Used: Oakland Public Schools, Teachers Professional Library
