Iowa WAVES Learn the Ropes At Cedar Falls

More than 9000 members of the Women's Reserve of the U.S. Navy have finished their work at the naval training school on the Iowa State teachers college campus in Cedar Falls since the WAVES training school was established there in December, 1942. Among them have been many Iowans, as well as young women from all other states, from Alaska, the Virgin Islands, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico and Canada. The Iowans pictured are in the class now completing its training.

Three Iowa trainees enjoying a stroll across the green campus during a liberty period are, from left, Clara Lou Morris of Gravity, Virginia Lampe of Iowa City and Harriet Ann Mulford of Kingsley. Each of the girls is a Seaman, second class.
