1933175261933. Archive of Walter Johnson's 1933 Atlantic City High School yearbook and related reunion materials documents African American student life within a formally integrated but socially segregated New Jersey public school during the Great Depression. Johnson a graduating senior in 1933 appears in a yearbook extensively inscribed by classmates whose messages span both commencement year and later reunions preserving contemporaneous peer networks across four decades. Created in a city where redlining confined most Black residents to Atlantic City's Northside neighborhood the volume and accompanying ephemera situate one student's educational experience within broader histories of African American urban life public schooling in the Jim Crow North Depression-era youth culture and Black alumni civic organization.<br /> <br /> Archive dates primarily from 1933 with later additions from 1978 and subsequent reunion years; ten items total. Central volume is Atlantic City High School yearbook published by Westbrook Publishing Company Philadelphia 1933 183 pages hardcover 10.5 x 7.75 inches extensively inscribed throughout by classmates in 1933 and again at the 45th reunion in 1978. The school's divisions are organized by Technical Classical and Commercial tracks with individual portrait sections and personal profile prompts listing favorite activities characteristic phrases and anticipated futures including one sardonic entry predicting a destination "In the ranks of the unemployed." Accompanying materials include a June 16 1933 telegram in original envelope from the Negro Alumni Associates of Atlantic City High School congratulating Johnson on his graduation; two reunion pamphlets from the 45th and 50th reunions; several envelopes including one bearing a lengthy handwritten note from reunion organizer Ben Ginsburg; and two printed advertisements for Atlantic Coast Amusement Enterprises promoting comedians and song-and-dance acts associated with Atlantic City's boardwalk entertainment industry.<br /> <br /> Produced in the depths of the Great Depression the yearbook captures a graduating class confronting economic uncertainty while articulating ambition humor and collective identity. Its Art Deco stylistic elements and commercial advertising reflect Atlantic City's resort economy during its interwar peak while the presence of a formal Negro Alumni organization in 1933 demonstrates structured African American institutional engagement within a multiracial public school setting. Later reunion annotations underscore continuity of alumni networks across five decades. Light general wear consistent with age; inscriptions legible and internally clean; associated ephemera well preserved with minor handling wear. Overall very good condition. Cohesive documentation of African American secondary education alumni organization and urban community formation in Depression-era New Jersey extending into the late twentieth century. unknown

193058055Portland OR: Hollywood College of Music Dancing & Fine Arts Baker Studio Granada Studio La Vere Photo Shoppe Photo Craft Studios ca. 1930-1933. Oblong 4to. 24 original photographs all preserved in archival mylar sleeves sized 6.25 x 7 in. up to 8 x 10 in. some w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative others w/ manuscript captions added a few w/ annotations and/or photographer’s instructions on versos all with bright strong contrast a few w/ offsetting from previous mounting on versos and one w/ very small pinholes at corners from prior mounting. Recent cloth binder stamping front cover excellent grouping. These photographs vividly document the dance and music studio operated by Annabelle Knowles reflecting the fast evolving costumes and aesthetics of the twilight of the Roaring 20’s as the U.S. descended into the Great Depression. These photos also clearly reflect the influence of Gus Edwards 1879-1945 vaudeville’s premier producer of kiddie acts and who had produced and released the shorts “Kiddie Revue†in 1930 and 1931. His influence was not only driven by his songs “By the Light of the Silvery Moon & “School Days†but also discovering such stars as Groucho Marx Eddie Cantor Mae Murray Sally Rand and many others. The images depict girls in two-piece outfits in front of Art Deco staging for “Body and Soulâ€; bare-backed girls in Flapper Era inspired costumes for chorus line “Kiddie Revueâ€; song and dance routines featuring Ronald Chetwood in top hat with Marcile Shillito Virginia Collins and chorus line in Jazz Age era costumes and canes; and several show Barbara Jane Wicks Shirley Jay Mulkey and Sunny Dentler in Spanish inspired costumes for “Baby Vanities.†Another shows adolescent boy and girl dance team in an “Apache†dance inspired costume number. The Hollywood College of Music Dance & Fine Arts offered classes and instruction in all ages with the last few photos showing teenage girls in chorus line with short hair coquettish expressions and teamwork or chorus line numbers. Annabelle Knowles 1900-1989 was a musician and dancer who founded the Hollywood College of Music Dancing & FIne Arts at 4112 NE Sandy Blvd. some time in the late 1920’s. Most of the street directory references focus on 1929-1932 and her British-America theatre-director husband at the time Vincent Knowles 1883-1944 worked at the studio as well. Baker 1882-1972 was a longtime commercial studio photographer in Portland OR who had initially begun as a photographer with noted tourist travel guide Howard Eaton photographing tours through National Pakrs. Beem 1892-1984 was founder and photographer at Granada Studio located in the 1930’s at 515 Swetland Building in Portland. Centlivere 1878-1964 owned and operated La Vere Photo Shoppe and Photo Craft Studios on Sandy Blvd. in Portland for nearly all of his career. We could find no similar collections or photographs or even references to Annabelle Knowles and very few examples of any of these three photography studios in institutional holdings.

191112648Seattle 1911. 13.25 x 8.75" stitched plain grey wrappers 22 leaves illustrated with pasted in photographic magazine clippings; title page 15 typed text pages 12 page diary two pages of poetry and one page of statistics four illustration pages one page with a newspaper clipping one blank. A typescript account of an all-girls trip taken by the students of Professor Henry Landes at the University of Washington. Called the "Traveling School of Geology" this five week excursion to Victoria Island and to Northwest and Southwest Washington State consisted of ten girls and five staff members including "Madame Oakley" a chaperone and Landes Dean of Science and founding member of the University's geology department each individual is listed on the title page. This vivid playful account is mostly about adventures and hijinks rather than science with descriptions of clothing food and flirtations "studying heology instead of geology" throughout as well as lively accounts of mountain climbing camping local color and the participants. The group first toured Victoria Island and the San Juan Islands before visited the Cascades including an ascent of Pinnacle Peak and the climbing of glaciers on Mt. Rainier. The close bonds of the women comes through quite strongly with their silly nicknames "Madame Moraine" "Bonnie Boulder" etc used throughout and the long poem at the end describing the various subsets of five within the ten students "There were five who wore knickers and five who wore skirts and five who on the mountain always wore shirts." <br /> <br /> The confident carefree personalities of the girls are apparent for instance when one girl climbs onto an oil can to give a speech on a wharf in coastal Washington or when the girls spontaneously jump into the water to swim much to the chagrin of Professor Landes:<br /> <br /> "On the wharf due to 'Germany's' oratorical ability she was hastily lifted to the top of an oil can in order that she might give us an example of her 'ladies and gentleman'. During this flowery outburst our eminent fishologist 'Middy' employed her leisure time chasing 'Uneeda' with a rat-fish and 'Boots' made a doll-baby of kelp.It was about this time that 'Uneeda' replied to 'Madam' that she was studying heology and not geology. Was it this reply that caused Mr. Gilliam to offer to furnish her specimens of tear drop rocks at La Conner" July 11 1911<br /> <br /> "The 'Call of the Wild' was so strong that they could resist it no longer. Away they went into the water!.They were seagulls. They could scarcely be distinguished from their untamed relatives as they shrieked to each other while paddling around in the water.The Professor finally succeeded in coaxing them out of the water by promising them a launch-ride to Tikeland." August 1 1911<br /> <br /> Of particular interest are the passages describing the group as they hiked trails climbed mountains and crossed glaciers:<br /> <br /> "Another plunge into the forest for seven miles down grade and camp was near. 'Uneeda' began to lag so 'Bonnie' gave her a fifth egg which revived her. 'Dude' begged to be left by the wayside to die but Prof. Landes called her attention to a hickory stick and no more complaint was heard. Dinner served at 7:00 p.m. and all unconscious by 9:00 after a feast of cherries brought in by 'Boots'." July 8 1911<br /> <br /> "At 8:30 A.M. started for Pinnacle Peak to get what was to many of the party their first experience in mountain climbing. Antitalus in her No. 8 boots several skirtless among them modest Dakota and all with hideously painted faces carrying lunches and gay bandannas tied to their belts.Prof Landes determined to take everyone to the summit. After constant help from the patient professor Tailus gave a shout of victory from the top and considered herself quite a heroine.That night 'Uneeda' still held her own at dinner. Ate in relays and won an eating contest with 'Milwaukee'. For a part of the day a man joined our party and of course the 'Dude' monopolized him." July 19 1911<br /> <br /> A page of statistics at the end notes that the group traveled 1749 miles in total of which 184.5 was on foot. A vivid playful account of an early outdoor education expedition for women. In good condition with printed title label that was once on cover missing chipping to edges of wraps stain to lower corner of front wrap. paperback
1943277008Kamnik district Slovenia: Tehnika RK VI 1943. 30pp. 8vo mimeographed text with images original tan wrappers with mimeographed cover.<br/> <br/> This rare surviving pamphlet from World War II was produced by the Yugoslav Partisans the most accomplished armed resistance movement against the Axis occupation of Europe. Starting out as a guerilla group the Partisans soon created a complete underground society based on Communist principles including schools government and medical institutions financial systems and publishing presses. This pamphlet produced by one such press likely hidden in the mountains or forests of Slovenia addresses an emergent need in such a new clandestine society: that for maps. It proceeds in logical order: geographical vocabulary instructions for making field maps and later more sophisticated and symbolic drafting techniques. Within this technical know-how it also communicates tactical military advice that the Partisan guerillas employed in their battles with Axis armies. This tactical quality of the publication is most in evidence in the pamphlets many striking diagrams which demonstrate the importance of visual knowledge in situations of survival.<BR> <BR> This pamphlet was one of many Partisan publications designed to educate protect and encourage members of the movement. It is particularly fascinating for its simple means of production since the secrecy of Partisan operations limited them to mechanical methods such as mimeographs--in witness here--as well as heliotypes linocuts and typewriting. Given its fragility the pamphlet is in excellent condition with clean text. Slight stains and some very small tears in margins. As one of the few Partisan publications on cartography this pamphlet is a rare and fascinating record of the World War II resistance.<br/> <br/> Tehnika RK VI unknown

193114390Minden LA 1931. Very Good. Minden LA: 1931. Original black and white photograph 15.5x25.5cm. depicting the girls' basketball team alongside their coach Mr. Russ each player identified in ink manuscript along bottom of image. Photograph slightly curled with very small flaw at bottom of image else Very Good overall. Misidentifying manuscript label mounted to verso identifying the team in "Shreveport LA / Circa 1947 / Washington ".<br /> <br /> The label is a red herring misdating and misplacing the photograph sixteen years late and thirty miles west. The center player holds a basketball dated '31 nineteen years before Booker T. Washington High School was founded. The school almost certainly is Webster High School in Minden Louisiana thirty miles east. The building in the background and the women's slightly mismatching uniforms conform to those depicted in W.L.G. Abney's 1950s booklet "The History of Webster High School." Indeed the simple whitewashed wooden structure sitting on a brick pile foundation appears to be either the back of the dormitory or the newly-completed library the ground still unpaved dirt. <br /> <br /> The story of the founding of Webster High School less than ten years earlier in 1922 displays the dedication and financial burden of a Black community in the heart of the Jim Crow South. According to Abney's history a Colored Board of Trustees comprised of members of the community first set out to find a suitable site for a new school settling on a piece of land "owned and occupied as a home by one of Minden's colored citizens Mr. Henry Harris who was perfectly happy there and had no desire to sell." Abney glosses over the displacement of Harris but the site was secured and approved by the White Parish board "with the understanding that the colored people themselves would have to make substantial financial contribution if they were to secure this site because no money had been budgeted for the cause at that time." Indeed by 1931 the list of state-sponsored schools in Louisiana for White and Black students was sixty-eight to four. Webster was not one of those four schools. <br /> <br /> As Abney's history delineates however the money was raised by the community through the leadership and outreach of the Colored Board of Trustees and by 1931 a library had been erected and numerous sports teams active. The date is also significant as it coincides with the founding of two of the first all-Black all-women's professional basketball clubs the Philadelphia Tribune Girls and the Chicago Romas. Perhaps these pioneering teams inspired the formation of Webster High School's girls' basketball team. In any case the members listed are as follows: Coach Mr. Russ Tena Lowery Hazel Garrett Willie Stewart B. Green M. Ford Bran Watson M. Gafford E. McCorey Ella B. Gafford Lorscie Henry and Louella Ruffin. unknown
