The Story of Paper 1929





Ruth Boyer, a student at Seattle's Seward School, made this charming book as a class assignment in 1929. Typewritten poems about books make up the first half. The second half is the history of paper including little square samples. Miss Boyer deserved better than a C+!

Clayton is no wolf


Clayton Ried
All right when Nancy is along.
I'm flattered but he is a swell guy & no wolf.
He makes a very good chauffeur, how am I as a rider?

Found in an early 1940s scrapbook, three high school girls apparently passed this note around class, writing their impressions of Clayton.

And isn't it ironic


Is New Wife the same person as Blurry Name? Or, did New Wife discover the journal and take on the passive-aggressive editor role once she saw Blurry Name mentioned?

Unusual kid


I was my parents first
aneversiry present.
I learned to snap
my fingers by the time
I was one. I am holding
my puppy asleep on my
lap. Our first dog
died right after
having 7 puppies.
We had to bottle
feed the babies so
they would survive.
I saw Europe and was
too young to remember it.
I got in a bike
accident and was knocked
out. It took 2 days before
I recovered. I have talked
to Michel Jordan
and David Robinson.
I almost fell off
a cliff but was saved.
I have once shopped
at Rodeo Drive
so I guess I am
a unusual kid.
