The scrapbook contains postcards, typed and handwritten manuscripts,
souvenir booklets, and photographs from trips taken in 1933 and 1934. The
album begins with a trip to the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933 which included
a stop in Niagara. There are three postcards of Niagara Falls and the stop is
mentioned in the manuscript, stating that “MH was thrilled with Niagara, for
that matter we all found as much interest. We still have the trip behind that
intriguing Falls’ shower curtains to look forward to…”. They also stopped
briefly in Shedden, Ontario, before arriving in Chicago. Several pages of the
scrapbook contain postcards and descriptions of Chicago and the exhibits at
the Fair.
The next section of the scrapbook documents a road trip to Washington, D.C.
with fellow teachers. The trip included stops in New York City, Mt. Vernon,
and Fort Hoyle, Maryland. A typewritten account of the trip is 17 pages and
includes photographs, postcards, souvenir booklets, and a four-leaf clover.
Some stops on their trip included Arlington National Cemetery, the
Washington Cathedral, and the Caves of Luray, Virginia. At the end of the
album are photos of three women and the car they travelled in. It is written
that “We had one jolly time—but Homes and Husbands and Whatnot look
pretty darn good to us after a week’s absence...”.
