Return to the Table of Contents Historical NoteCushing Academy studentIn the academic year 1908-1909, Sybil C. Green was a high school senior, boarding at the Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Mass. Born in Spencer, Mass., on August 22, 1889, to Charles H. and Ella M. Green, Green was enrolled in the college preparatory course at Cushing and apparently entered Smith College in the fall of that year. She died in 1984. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Contents of the CollectionThe Green scrapbook is a thick and typically chaotic record of a young woman in her senior year of high school in 1908-1909. The scrapbook consists of a bound volume stuffed (or over-stuffed) with tickets to basketball and baseball games, dance cards, invitations, notes, miscellaneous mementoes and ephemera, and a few letters from family and friends. Tucked inside one of the envelopes is a small assortment of 19 photographic negatives which, though unidentified, appear to depict the Academy and its students.
