DescriptionFrom an article appearing in Tempe Daily News, April 17, 1971:COSTUME FITTING for Tempe's Centennial spectacular, "Century in the Sun," was taking place along with a dress rehearsal for that historical pageant last night at Sun Devil stadium. Rogers company consultants for Tempe's Centennial celebration and pageant producer is providing the costumes for the over 400 Tempeans who will have roles in the 90 minute story of Tempe from pre-Hayden's Ferry days to present. Trying on their costumes last night were Tempe High school students Gloria Yanez, one of the pageant's "Roaring '20s" gals, and Don Parks, a Charleston guy, getting an assist from Arizona State University senior Rick Vann, working in wardrobe under pageant costume chairman Warren Sumners, associate director of ASU's Gammage auditorium.
