Items from Luella Mattson Williamson's Scrapbook. Luella was a Performer / Soloist.

From the Fortress of Solitude

Pleasant Grove

We recently found Luella's scrapbook in the garage.  She kept it up to date from the end of grade school up until her Junior year in high school.  She loved to keep her Valentine's Day card.  She also kept performance programs where she sang as a soloist.  There are report cards, as seen in the last blog post.  The scrapbook has the Belle Fourche Roundup's 34th Anniversary Program and an ad for the Barnum and Bailey Circus. 

She also had a young man named Dan very interested in courting her.  Here are the scans of items I found interesting.

Luella performed at an Elks Lodge and kept the Napkin.  Why, Her Lips are on it!

Some kind of high school initiation ritual Luella had to participate in.

Dan Inviting Luella to a Movie.  I Wonder What he meant by "and boy did they go crazy."  Hummmmmm......

Gary invites Luella to the Junior Prom.  Nothing fancy back in those days. A simple note is all it took.

And that ends the scrapbook, except for various odds and ends that don't mention Luella. 

Love you Ma! 

Ad Astra!
