Mimeograph yearbook bound with two metal brads. Cover sheet soiled and entirely detached with moderate silverfish predation. The little critters also enjoyed snacks along the edges of the book and especially the lower corner of the last few pages; no loss of content. Fair to good condition. Cold Springs Camp was located in Austinburg, Ohio, along the banks of the Grand River. The Journal News of Hamilton, Ohio described the camp, in 1931, as an exclusive camp for girls from Cleveland and sponsored by the Women's League of Cleveland. This booklet presents as a yearbook for a summer at camp. A postcard postmarked 1931 is laid in. The book includes line drawings and descriptions of camp activities, poetry, field trip logs and reports from the three courts of camps, "Wendy", "Peter Pan" and "Tinker Bell". Six 3 x 4.5 inch snapshots are tipped in at back. A somewhat crude but charming documentation of the "rite" for hundreds of thousands of wealthier families in the 30's through 50's.
