Background: Mt. Rainier
This image is in the public domain, sourced from the National Park Service gallery of Mt. Rainier photos. It has been cropped to make the background banner for the MRHS1974.us website. The website theme (Hestia) automatically darkens the image for the background.
Rams head
The ram head image was found at PickPik where it is licensed as a “royalty-free photo”. The original image has the ram facing left, but for our purposes, the image was flipped horizontally to have the ram face to the right. It was then resized for use as icons when the website is installed as a desktop or mobile application. Source:

Yearbook Photos
TOR 74 Yearbook Photos
Individual portrait photos of classmates were, we believe, captured by the Kennell-Ellis Studio. However, after 80 years in business, the Kennell-Ellis Studio closed in 2004. They made original negatives available for a time but their website has since been shut down. We are assuming we can use reproductions of these images as fair use of images that are likely still protected by copyright.
