John Marshall students are shown helping to celebrate the October 1933 grand opening of the State Theatre in Downtown Richmond, only a couple of blocks from the school. Very recognizable of course are the JM Cadets but looking closely at the girls, you can pick out some members of the "Duckie Club" (identified by the D monogram on their sweaters), and some members of the "Bootsie Club" (identified by their long scarfs). The year 1934 would become the last year for social clubs at JM.
