Description
Junior Hostesses serving drinks at the San Bruno USO Club. The USO Club, which catered to locally stationed and returning US troops, was open from July 1942 to January 1946. The Club was located at the old school on Elm Avenue (currently the San Bruno Park School District offices) and run by Mrs. Helen Pinkerton. Young women from San Bruno and the surrounding areas would volunteer for shifts at the Club, to serve drinks, oversee dances and other activities and provide a morale boost for returning soldiers.
