Subject: TGIFoto - Grace and Radus Hill, 1939
Posted: 03 Feb 2012 at 9:00am

Our TGIFoto this week is a tribute to Grace Hill, who passed away earlier this week. I imagine that some of you had her as a teacher or perhaps worked with her in the Rogers Public Schools. This is her wedding photo taken with Radus in 1939. Wasn't she a beautiful bride? Just click on the image for a larger view.

Subject: TGIFoto - Electric Springs
Posted: 27 Jan 2012 at 12:25pm

This week's TGIFoto features a group gathered at the Electric Springs in the early 1900s. If you drive out Highway 12 you can still see the openings for the springs on the right side of the road just after you make the big turn to the right past Summit Heights. Electric Springs was platted in the 1880s as a health resort. Eventually there were cottages, a hotel, and a sanitorium. The spring waters were said to have curative powers. It was also said that the water had to power to magnetize metal. Just click on the image for a larger view.

It's basketball season so this week's TGIFoto features the 1909-1910 Rogers High School girl's basketball team. The big bows were fashionable at the time, and, although you can't see them in this postcard photo, the team was attired in the bloomers that were at the time standard sports attire for women.

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 at 9:38am

In this week's TGIFoto, Jimmie the Squirrel finds a bite to eat in Miss Vera Key's side yard during a deep snow in the mid 1930s. Miss Vera treated Jimmie like a pet - in fact she was so fond of him that she had a tiny house built for him based on her own! Just click on the image for a larger view.

Subject: TGIFoto - Camp Joyzelle
Posted: 02 Dec 2011 at 9:14am

In 2007 attendees of Camp Joyzelle, a girl's summer camp at Monte Ne, met for a reunion. The Reunion Committee comprised of eight ladies who attended Camp Joyzelle in the 1950s realized the history of the camp was being forgotten. They started a project to capture the camp's history through memories, research, and photographs. This project has culminated in the book A History of Camp Joyzelle. We just received our copy of this great book, along with several new catalogs and brochures, photographs, and research to add to our permanent collection and the research library. We are so excited to add this new layer of information to our research files on Camp Joyzelle and share it with the public. So to mark these new additions, this week's TGIFoto features a page from a 1941 Camp Joyzelle brochure. Just click on the image for a larger view.
