Helen Schenck scrapbook
Scope and Contents
This scrapbook dates from 1910 to 1912 and is titled, “Snapshots at ISTC.” A majority of the photographs are labeled with a caption and largely feature the same group of women. The photographs show the friends spending time together on the river, in the woods, outside during the winter, in dorm rooms, around the ISTC campus, and other areas in Cedar Falls, including Cedar Heights and Dry Run. While the majority of the photographs are of the friend group, the scrapbook also includes pictures of schoolchildren.
