CHILD'S ART SCRAPBOOK HOMEWORK AWARDS ETC - CHICAGO BOY 1950s

Item #451

12.25 x 14.75” dark brown photo album with gold decoration and border framing on the front cover. Loose within the album are homework items, artwork and clippings from Robert Slepicka's time as a student at Spry School in Chicago. There are several handwritten pages from around 1951 to 1962 of Slepicka practicing writing in print and in cursive, spelling quizzes, and math problems. There are also copies of clippings which feature Slepicka in pictures, giving or receiving awards. Slepicka was part of the Boy’s Club and seems to have participated in a few science fairs, as he has several honorable mention ribbons related to his presentations. After graduating from Spry Upper Grade Center in 1962, Slepicka seems to have gone on to Harrison High School, as he has an honorable citation mention for his entry in the science fair there in 1963. Other ephemera include Slepicka’s progress reports from 1959 to 1962, and two black and white photographs featuring Slepicka with a group of three men and a group of people at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
