Record Book, “It’s All Over Now! {Except Memories} A Record Book.” Illustrations by Wava McCullough. 1928 8 x 6 inches 60pp. Well-loved with commensurate wear, binding is holding well still.
Very well organized and spirited early twentieth-century student scrapbook compiled by Winifred Eastwood at Sterling College in Sterling Kansas. Full of college ephemera including both hand-made items including invitations, letters, and menus, plus locally produced ephemera for Sterling College. We find over 150 neatly labeled photos, many calling cards, report cards, glee club and thespian programs and more. Winifred Eastwood (1908-1966) was born in Mission Creek Nebraska and if this highly personal keepsake is any indication, she dove fully into the inclusive coed college experience and kept herself busy with social activities. Her academic records shows mostly A’s and B’s save for a lowly D- in Spanish One. Research shows Ms. Eastwood likely ending her career as an educator at the University of Massachusetts where by 1969 she was the Head of the Extension Division of Home Economics in Amherst MA where she is buried.
