Professor Lewis Neeb – the man in glasses at right – was the director of ASU’s Industrial Arts program, which focused on instruction in wartime skills from 1940 onward. The lady in the sweater to his left is likely his wife, Mrs. Rayma Neeb, who strove to improve the lives and professional standing of women for many years.
