Mills, Clara
Abstract:
Scrapbook created by Morgantown resident Clara Mills (25 leaves with attached material, 10 in. x 13 in. x 1.5 in., "Morgantown High School" on cover). Clara Mills attended Morgantown High School from 1919 to 1923; the scrapbook begins with autographs, inscriptions, and calling cards from (apparently) classmates at the time of her graduation (1923); there is also a commencement announcement and program (1923). Following this are dance cards, greeting cards, and announcements; special items include a Harold Lloyd advertising card in the form of a playing card from the Strand Theatre in Morgantown (undated), and a Pennsylvania road map from 1925. There are 52 sepia-toned photographs (3 in. x 5 in.) of people, presumably friends and/or relatives of Clara Mills; one group of photographs is taken in a rural setting; a second group records (what is probably) a family vacation in the vicinity of Buffalo, New York, including photographs at a lake-side park in the community of Crescent Park on Lake Erie (just west of Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo), as well as pictures of Niagra Falls, and the boats "City of Buffalo" and "Detroit."
