Scope and Contents

The collection of yearbook materials contains many individual yearbook photos of students from the 1930s and 1940s along with candid photos from the school, athletics and plays. Part of the collection appears to have come from the yearbook office.

Besides the large amount of photos, the collection also includes a diverse array of administrative data from the school. This includes commencement data, teaching certificates, class schedules, school newspapers and other material. Of particular note is the teaching certificates for one of the school’s first principals, Otto Bruening as well as certificates from the 2nd War Loan drive and polio vaccination program.

The quality of the photographic material is excellent with little to no deterioration. Some of the certificates were stored improperly and are undergoing restoration work.
