Briarley Hall Military Academy scrapbook

This collection is contained within one large scrapbook, kept by Cadet Lieutenant Crocker during his attendance at Briarley Hall Military Academy. The first five pages contain notes to Crocker from his friends, followed by four pages of athletic team reports and calendar events. Most of the events detailed in the calendar reference sporting events and practices, as well as day-to-day happenings at school and with friends. Then follows 25 pages of photographs, captioned with the names of teammates, roommates, teachers, and places on campus. Many photographs depict players wearing football and baseball uniforms, circa 919. One page follows of newspaper clippings containing Briarley football and baseball write-ups. The final pages of the scrapbook contain various ephemera Crocker kept and pasted into the book, including fliers, a commencement program, a lost button and hair clips, a handkerchief, and grass taken from a football field, among others. All of the pieces of ephemera have been labeled with a corresponding caption and date.
