About This Item
Book is split along the spine with browned pages that are chipping. Begins with a young girl's first letter to Santa in 1928. (She wants a car and a doll). Includes drawings and childhood remembrances including a trip to Brooklyn, NY with her mother where they get a perm. It appears that her family moved from Kansas City to Chicago in 1937 where she was very involved in the Hyde Park Y. Her two red cross swimming pins are attached from 1930 and 1931 when she became à swimmer at age six. She participated in plays at the Y and eventually became the president of a club there. Her mother participated in a minstrel show with the PTA in MO in 1929, programs attached. Myrtle attended the School of Radio Theater. There is a postcard from the Hotel Mayfair in St. Louis. She participated in swim meets. She attended Hyde Park High School in Chicago and appeared in a 1941 Fashion show. There is also a program with a photo of the male 1935 Du Salle graduating class. There is also a Harvey Gram from Santa. Some items are missing and detached. Book in fair condition. No photographs or trade cards.
