John F. Cahlan, left, coordinator of Las Vegas' Diamond Jubilee, unveils a plaque at Second and Lewis Streets, the former site of the city's first school. On the right is Ruth Fyfe, a veteran teacher. Originally the Salt Lake Hotel, the building was remodeled and converted to a grammar school in 1905 with about 200 students. The site is now a parking lot.
The Television, Radio Shows, and Movies Series from 1953 to 1972 contains photographs, correspondence, show programs, and proposals that the Sands Hotel had an interest in producing or were filmed on the hotel property. Also included are scripts and a promotional package the included arrangements to see one of the atomic bomb blasts from the Nevada Test Site.
