Full title:David Shinn Shimomura is playing a quick game of basketball during recess at the Township Public School near the
Ritchie farm at Riverton, N.J., where the Shimomura family are now living. Mr. and Mrs. Shimomura and five of their eight
children relocated from Colorado River Relocation Center in August, 1944. Mr. Shimomura is working on the farm, Mrs. Shimomura
keeps house, and the children attend nearby schools. Although many of the other eighth graders are bigger than David, in playing
basketball he goes right in after the ball. The school principal says that he is an excellent student, and David declared
history and geography to be his favorite subjects. After school David walks home with his friends or meets his sisters and
one of the Ritchie children at their school nearby. David's oldest brother is in the U.S. Army and two of his sisters live
and work in Philadelphia.<lb/> Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen<lb/> Riverton, New Jersey.
