Ephemera

Just sharing some stuff from the 1957 State Tournament while we wait for the games to get underway.

Dad's name tag, pass, and official's ribbon.

 

Before and during the tournament, all the players and coaches got free rides on Santa Monica's transit system. I remember my mom and I took a ride on a trolley at one of the games; probably the first time I ever rode in such a conveyance. (We didn't have trolleys in Glendora.) Anyway, after the tournament, I was given the leftover tokens as play money, and I've kept them all these years since. (I colored two of them with a red marker some time when I was in grade school.)
