Wonderful 1920s college scrapbook and photograph album belonging to VERNA RUBY LINDBLAD of Salem, South Dakota, with extensive material documenting her years at John E. Brown College in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, along with her friends, classmates, religious activities, travels and social life.
Measures approximately 10.5 x 12 inches. All pages are shown in the photographs.
This is a particularly strong identified student archive rather than an anonymous photograph album. The scrapbook contains a large collection of original snapshots, portraits, handwritten notes, college ephemera, newspaper clippings, Valentines, ribbons, cards, religious material, pressed flowers and personal keepsakes accumulated by Verna.
John E. Brown College material is extensive and includes:
- Boy's Dormitory and Student Body 1922-1923 image identified with John E. Brown College, Siloam Springs, Arkansas
- Original student body regulations
- College songs and verses, including “Hail! J.B.U.”
- John E. Brown College/University references throughout
- The Bo-Bo Printer, published by students of printing at John E. Brown College
- College instruction-period information
- Handwritten references to Senior Day
- Graduation and commencement material
- Religious and devotional material associated with student life
- Numerous photographs of students, classmates and friends
The original photographs are an especially important part of the album. They show young women and men, college groups, graduation gowns, automobiles, horseback riding, boating, picnics, outdoor excursions, houses, campus/town scenes, family and friends, portraits and candid everyday life during the 1920s.
One striking photograph shows a decorated automobile identified “Ozark Colony.” There are also photographs of boating and recreational outings and a large group photograph associated with a reunion or commencement gathering.
Other material includes Sun Prairie B.Y.P.U. newspaper clippings describing Baptist Young People's Union activities, rallies and outings; handmade and printed Valentines; handwritten poems and messages; calling/name cards; dried flowers; ribbons and textile keepsakes; fashion material; wedding announcements; religious cards; and numerous handwritten names and personal annotations.
A University of California Class of 1926 Commencement Day Exercises invitation for California Memorial Stadium is also preserved in the scrapbook.
Among the identifiable names is VERNA RUBY LINDBLAD, whose address/locale is recorded as Salem, SD. Other cards and inscriptions appear to include Evelyn S. Pyritz and Rosemond E. Hart, with many additional friends and acquaintances named throughout the album.
The combination of an identified female owner, South Dakota provenance, extensive Siloam Springs AR / John E. Brown College content and the large amount of original student photography makes this an excellent genealogical and institutional-history archive.
