General

White 11x15" scrapbook with the title encircling three red mountains and a blue sky. The title page shows mascot "Jessie Jayhawk" pictured in a yellow hat and white dress with a green scarf. Members of the Jessi Patrol included Susan Curry (troop leader), Una Thurston, Kathy Kington, Pam Wesche, Veronica Bonebrake, Barbara Cowen, Suzanne Braithwaite, and Lynne Benneyworth.

Pages include handwritten descriptions of events, newspaper clippings, a camp map, bulletins, menus, and a caper chart. A letter was written to Jessi Jayhawk by a different patrol member each day, recounting the day’s events. Many letters are loose in the scrapbook, as they are written on both sides of the page. A hand-painted Jessi Jayhawk flag is included.

Also included are 1959 Senior Roundup paraphernalia: a Camp Memories pamphlet, a “Keep America Beautiful” litter bag and the lid of a Senior roundup “Sardines from Maine” can.
