Argonne Playground 1940s

Rehearsal for the Children's Pet Exhibit in which students throughout San Francisco competed for prizes. The event began in 1915 at the PPIE and was so popular that local educators possibly worked with the Human Society to keep it going for decades. Girl holding puppy. Slides and swings behind. View east to 18th Avenue. [Recreation & Parks]
