    Description

    9x11" scrapbook, 1.5" thick.  Muriel Page (an art teacher from East Boston, MA) and her sister, Dorothy Page (a kindergarten teacher) are taking a trip to Europe on the SS Franconia on June 27, 1935.  I'll go through and make a list of the many items herein.  All items but for a few loose things, are glued to the album pages.  Some of the pages are chippy and all are toned.  Many of the Bon Voyage cards are accompanied by what I assume are Muriel's drawings of little packages, suitcases, stockings hanging to dry, etc.
    a Post Office Telegram (English) directed to the Pages on the SS Franconia in Liverpool July 8, 1935
    a Bon Voyage card from Miss Page's students
    a Social Message telegram dated June 29, 1935 to Miss Muriel Page on the SS Franconia (see photo)
    37 Bon Voyage cards from friends and family
    a envelope or cover addressed to "The Three Pages c/o Miss Dorothy Page, Room D56, SS Franconia, Sailing June 29, Cunard Pier, East Boston, Mass".  So I think the girl's mother went along on this trip.

    4 identical newspaper clippings from West Lancashire Evening Gazette Monday, August 26, 1935.  "Touring Our Schools".  "Miss Dorothy Page is a kindergarten teacher, while her younger sister, Muriel, teaches art.  They have made a tour of our schools, and, while greatly admiring them, I gathered that they did not consider them as well equipped as their own.  They remarked on the uniform (gym slips) worn by our pupils, th enumber of bicycles used to take them to school, and the habit all have of using satchels (attache cases) to carry their books."
