THE GIRL GRADUATE'S JOURNAL

Reilly & Lee Co. Chicago., 1925 This is a hand made grammar school year book assembled by Betty Sturrock who attended St. Margaret School of St. Louis, Missouri. She graduated in 1931. Oblong book size about 9 by 8 inches. Bound in string tied blue cloth with front cover gilt lettering and gilt/white floral decoration--in an album format. One of those early Yearbooks where the publisher provided an outline of what to enter in the book and then the student filled-in the book in whatever manner they chose. This is a superior example of the grammar school type with student names, printed programs, writings from classmates , party invitations, fancy color printed memorabilia, photographs, various programs related to school work, and much else. About 12 photos pasted in, some with written captions. I could say this is rare, but it is actually unique, one of a kind, as are all these old hand-made yearbooks. The five photos I have included with the listing just touch on the contents. A reference book for Women's Studies showing how the young girl of the 1920's was educated. This is one volume in a collection of some 65 of these old Yearbooks ranging from the late 1800's to the 1930's mostly from the Midwest which will be in my book seller catalog titled 'Women'.
