With everyone thinking and reading and talking Amer icana, you Older Camp Fire Girls will be "rarin’ to start" on this new plan made especially for your fun and discovery. It holds no end of possibilities for research for you older girls (you must be fifteen or older) ! Join in ! Get the whole town to gether! There are so many interesting things to cover that you must start right away to call every older girl to the big opening meeting where she can decide which committee she wants to join. Committees 1. Women of Yesterday This committee will try to bring recognition to a woman of local historical interest by finding out all it can about her life, and by making a collection of her writings to store where they will be access ible to those who want to see them, possibly at the World Center for Women’s Archives in New York City. 2. Women of Today This committee will explore the life and work of a local woman of achievement, interview her, and plan to honor her. 3. Women of Tomorrow This committee will present fields of vocational inter ests and possibilities for you girls who are to be the important women of tomorrow. After these committees have made their discoveries about the great women of the past and present, you will all get together to choose which woman is to be honored at your Public Event. From then on you will probably find it convenient to work in these three new committees: A - Album Committee - to make an album containing informa tion, pictures, clippings, etc, about the woman you have chosen. �B - Public Event Committee - to plan a luncheon (dinner or party) to honor the woman you have chosen. C - Vocational Committee - to plan a series of meetings on vocational opportunities. (This could be the same as the Women of Today Committee.) Dates Album should arrive at National Headquarters by April 15. World Center for Women’s Archives’ Collection Form should be submitted by March 1. Public Event should take place between April 1 and 15. The series of vocational programs can be announced at the Public Event and begin the next week, to run as long as you like. Fame For You When you send your album to New York you will be on your way towards making your group of older Camp Fire Girls famous because a number of well-known women, headed by Mary Beard, have asked to see your albums. They will select the most interesting ones for display at the World Center for Women’s Archives. Helpful Books rian to Here are three books you will all enjoy. suggest others: Ask your libra For - Women of Yesterday: - "Women in the Wilderness” by Margaret Bell Dutton, 1938. For - Women of Today: - "Ladies in Revolt" by Abbie Graham, Womans Press 1934. For - Women of Tomorrow: — "Careers for Women" by Catherine Filene, Houghton, Mifflin, 1934. Relation To Camp Fire Program The younger Camp Fire Girls are working busily on their Americana project and you can profit by the enthusiasm they are stirring up. There is also a close bond between your project and our Citizenship Honors, as you can easily see. Older girls who are earning Camp Fire Ranks will notice that this project gives them an opportunity to fulfill Requirements 13-B and 14 for Fire Maker’s Rank, besides giving them an insight into many of the achievements represented in the Torch Bearer Craftsman and an inspiration to become a Torch Bearer in Social Leadership. �Why Women Of Achievement? Our present life, our future plans, are built on the back ground of the past. The story of our country is peopled by gigantic fig ures who have fought for achievement in many fields, contributed to the art of their times, influenced its culture, and taken part in movements that affected the welfare of everyone in the nation. Some of these have been men, some women. A few of the women have had wide recognition, but too many others, in spite of really great achievements, have remained but shadows. Let’s bring these women out of the shadow into the light for the recognition they deserve! Every important woman has lived somewhere — perhaps in your town. Every town owes a debt of recognition to its women, both those who were given acclaim and those who remained unsung. Do you know which women have contributed to the welfare and growth of your town in the past? Do you know what famous or deservedly famous women have lived there? Do you know what women now are helping to make it a finer place to live in and an outstanding community in our country? All of this is yours to discover and to use in relation to yourself and what you are going to do with your life. Tomorrow you may be the famous woman of your town. What are your particular lines of inter est today, that may be leading to fame tomorrow? Join the search, bring along others and discover new fields to conquer! You, like your grand mothers and your great-great-grandmothers, are a part of the Women of Achievement. Beginning You might start off with a potluck supper (or a dinner that you cook yourselves and show everyone in town that whatever women’s ex panding interests may be, they are still good cooks J) Invite everyone who could be interested in or helpful to your plan, which means fathers, mothers, grandparents, and especially old folks who have lived in the com munity for years, besides historians and curators of museums. Ask some older person who is enthusiastic about your plan, to act as adviser or counselor and to be chairman of the meeting. Announce your plan to search out all the records by or about outstanding women of your community, past and present, and ask everyone’s help in suggesting places to look. Then watch memories come to the fore as the older folks grow enthusiastic with, ”I remember when...” or "Say! I can tell you where...” While everyone is getting busy with pencils and memories your leader tells the guests that they are on a three-part journey which will take them from Yesterday to Today and right on into Tomarrow! �Now, elect three committee chairmen, and let everyone de cide which committee to join, according to whether she is most interested in Women of Yesterday, women of Today or Women of Tomorrow. Set a time when the first two committees, having had sufficient time for exploration, will meet to report and choose their candidate for distinguished local woman. Then everyone gets busy! 1. Committee on Women of Yesterday You who have chosen to work on the "Women of Yesterday" Committee will take as your goal to discover all you can about the life of an outstanding woman of your locality who may or may not have been recognized as great, but who had an influence on the events or represent ed the ideas and doings of her time. You may come across some of her own writings which might be of interest to many people if they could be kept where they were easily accessible. The most important in your estimation might be sent to the World Center for Women’s Archives in New York City, an international center for preserving important papers written by women, where they may have the honor of being stored with other distinguished records there. We suggest that when you have collected your records, if you want them considered for the W.C.W.A., you send in to them the enclosed Archives’ Collection Form by March 1st and await their decision about submitting your records. You might have a public exhibit of the records before you send them away. Or, you might want to keep these historical records where they would be available locally. This would call for a space in the library or in the rooms of the historical museum or society where an attendant could give information to all inquirers. Possibly you might found a memorial, wheth er a place to keep records or merely a tablet, honoring the outstanding woman of your town’s history. When you have gathered your information on Women of Yester day you will meet with the Committee on Women of Today and decide which woman you will make an album about and honor in your public event. If both committees have found enough material, and you want to, you may make an album of both a Woman of Yesterday and a Woman of Today, and choose one of them to be honored. What To Look For Your local Woman of Yesterday must be someone who had a definite influence on her times or distinguished herself by something she did to better the lives of people. Is there a legend in your town about any one woman who had an influence on history? Talk to your families, ask questions of friends and divide into sub-committees to make a cursory investigation of: family albums, family Bibles, historical museums, �braries, art galleries, records in women’s clubs, old newspaper files, li Who’s Who, Chamber of Commerce pamphlets or files, D. A. R. Publications and records, records at courthouse, church and school, cemetary tombstones, and trunks and boxes in attics. Interview characters who have lived long in the community, people at the home for the aged and grandmothers and great-grandmothers and great-aunts! By this time you will be able to judge whether you are go ing to unearth a woman of real achievement. Get together (good time for a corn pop) and decide if you want to go on with a Woman of Yesterday, and which woman. (This does not mean that every girl won’t go on collect ing her own ancestors’ writings which will mean a lot to her family as well as to her community.) When the Committees on Women of Yesterday and Women of Today meet jointly, announce your decision, and if you decide on a Woman of Yesterday, form sub-committees to choose your hunting grounds and go to work on every possible clue to the subjects on hand. Members might carry mimeographed lists like this to guide them as they look: (1) How was she outstanding? Why did you choose her? what was her special contribution to the progress or welfare of her community, state or nation? (2) What has she left behind to indicate her interests, tastes and ac complishments? Letters, Unpublished Stories, Speeches or Diaries? Did she have any special views or make significant comments on life and the world about her? (3) Are there any legends about her? (4) When and where was she born? Did she spend her whole life in one place? If not, where, when and why did she move, and with whom did she live? (5) How was she educated? At home? At school? What did she study and what other things did she learn, like knitting, spinning, painting, music? (6) How many were there in her family? How many children did she have? Did she contribute to her husband’s work? How? (7) Did she help produce crops or any useful commodity like textiles? Did she have or try to have some profession, like doctor on horse back, nurse, plantation owner, lecturer, or singer? (8) Was she known for any artistic accomplishments? Modeling butter? Ar ranging songs for the school singing class? Taking part in Farmers’ �Institute entertainments? (9) Did she come up against critical public opinion in the work she did, and how did she meet it? Was life in general easy or hard for her, and how would it compare with your life? Could she have done any think to make it different? Did she? (10) Can you find any photographs of her and her family? Now you know where to look for material, but you are go ing to find that every so often you or your sub-committee are discovering something which someone else is looking for. For instance, the grave yard sub-committee may find some names and dates that are just what the interviewing committee needs to complete a story told by an old resident. What better excuse for a taffy pull? Call a meeting and trade notes! Or perhaps you will feel like "Stepping It Lightly” in a real old-fashioned costume party whore young folks, old folks, Camp Fire Girls and their brothers and others' brothers come dressed like their grandparents all the way back. There can bo prizes for the most authentic and the funni est and prettiest costumes, gavottes or square dances or century-old games, and refreshments appropriate to the period. You might have as your guest of honor some famous old lady of your town. Meanwhile, the present is being thoroughly looked into by the 2. Committee on Women of Today Those who are working on this committee go exploring in women's clubs, newspaper files, book shops, libraries, ask their friends and listen to radio programs in the search for the distinguished local Woman of Today, in the light of the importance of her work to the commun ity and to the nation. You can meet at a very modern party (with 1938 games and all-American ice cream or punch and cake) and decide if you have enough material to warrant the choice of your Woman of Today when you submit your findings at your joint meeting with the Women of Yesterday Committee. If it is a Woman of Today who is to be honored, form sub committees, arm yourselves with the same questionnaire that the Women of Yesterday took with them, and go after the story of her life and work! You can learn a lot by asking questions of people who know her, and of her herself, finding out not only what she has done and thinks but what others think of her. The achievements of other women will suggest some of the wonderful things you may do and be. And they can all be brought before you by the: �3. Committee on Women of Tomorrow Your third committee looks into what you are going to do about your own futures J All this time it has been brousing about for ideas and leaders, planning a series of meetings for you where women and men will tell you about the things that people are doing and can do and what training it takes. After surveying the lives of women of the past you see how few opportunities there were for them to do things outside of their homes, because of prejudice toward their sex and the belief that they were not mentally competent to work on an equal basis with mon, although often they were called upon to display as much or more physical endurance. Women have much more freedom, more rights, and with them, more civic re sponsibilities these days, but even now the woman who chooses a career outside of homemaking, meets with difficulties. For doing the same work as men do she usually receives less pay. Women have broken the way for themselves, and will continue to do so for other women to come by show ing that they can do work which is important and necessary to society. This kind of success will be the foundation for equality in opportunities between men and women. Woman’s place in the home as wife and mother is just as important as ever. It may be less engrossing than before because modern science and education have taken over many of her physical duties of housework and the training of her children. Combining outside inter ests with her homo interests gives a woman a broader outlook and a better understanding of those she lives with. Homemaking is a career for both men and women who need to be trained to live cooperatively, as well as to work successfully in an outside group. The Camp Fire program sprang from the inspiration of Luther and Charlotte Gulick working cooperatively with their children. You can find people who are informed and have something worthwhile to tell you about vocations for girls among personnel direct ors in department stores and industries, women’s clubs and Y.C. W.A.’s, the instructors in schools for special training like art and physical education, the dean of women or vocational adviser in your local university if you have one, or in your high school, and from the Secretary of your Chamber of Commerce. These people will have things to tell you from many fields about preparing yourselves for your life work, making the most of your personal appearance and mental abilities, choosing the work that is suited to you and training yourself by taking the right courses and par ticipating during vacations in activities that will give you experiences leading toward your choice of life work. At the time when the Women of Yesterday and the Women of Today meet to decide on a choice for their distinguished local woman, they will join forces to form new committees to honor their candidate. These will be for: �(A) (B) The Album, made around the famous local woman, past or present The Public Event, honoring the famous local woman The Women of Tomorrow use the information they have gather ed about vocational leaders and plan (C) Vocational Programs, to be announced at the public event and to go on for weeks after, giving every girl in the plan a chance to attend The Album Your album should be made from a selection of the material you have gathered about your famous local woman. If you wish you might make two albums, one around a historical character of your town and one about a modern woman. Make it as attractive as you can, both inside and out, remembering that its contents are more important than its cover. Have as many pages as you wish (8.5 X 11”) and a strong cover, reinforced with cloth or cork or whatever you wish to use. Material can include photographs, excerpts from your fa mous woman’s writings, if any, comments of various people about her, any souvenirs or records that she might give you, report of interviews, clip pings, lists of her accomplishments and a brief story of her life. We are interested in you too, so be sure to include some thing in the album about the girls who worked on the plan... their age, school and interests. Glossy photographs are good. Have your album in to National Headquarters by April 15th. The Public Event You will want to honor whatever woman you have chosen with some public recognition of her work and fame. Whether she was a histor ical personage whose name you will recall by creating some sort of memor ial, or a woman of today whom you can present with a token of your respect your committee will plan an event to which important local people are in vited and where you will link the idea of famous local women with the future accomplishments of local Camp Fire Girls. For a woman of today a luncheon would be in keeping, where your chosen woman will be honored with some public recognition of her achievement, like being named the outstanding woman of your community for the year or being presented with some gift from you, as a token of the town’s pride and appreciation of her distinguished service. If something of this sort is already being done each year by one of the women’s organizations, you might arrange some type of �co operation with them, perhaps giving a joint affair to honor the woman cho sen. If Camp Fire gives the luncheon, you could invite representatives from the Business and Professional Women’s Club, University Women’s Club, Zonta, etc. to be your guests. If you are honoring a historical woman you might have an old-fashioned party and have the program in keeping with the ways of Yesterday, wearing costumes of the period. Your program might include some of these suggestions: (1) The Mayor, introducing the event and telling what it means to have a famous woman from your town, and his hopes that all the Camp Fire Girls will be just as famous (2) A Campe Fire Girl, telling how you made your album, some of the inter esting things that happened when you were getting material, and how making it and learning about a famous woman has inspired you (3) Your Guest (a) A Woman of Today, telling what she is doing, has done and wants to do, and why. Or (b) A descendant of a Woman of Yesterday, telling something about her famous ancestor, or some of her own exciting experiences in days gone by. Or (c) Someone representing the Woman of Yesterday that you have chosen, who tells about ways of her day (4) President Of A Woman’s Organization, who tells what a famous woman means to her organization and your town (5) Presentation Of The Honor (a) A token given to the honored Woman of Today or de scendant of Yesterday, by a Camp Fire Girl on behalf of the town, for its appreciation and respect. Or (b) Announcement by the Mayor or some city official of a memorial like a tablet or a room in the library, that you have set up in honor of a famous Woman of Yester day (c) Announcement by a Camp Fire Girl that you have sent records by a famous Woman of Yesterday to the W.C.W.A. (6) A Dramatic Skit depicting some incident in the life of a famous Woman of Yesterday of your town (7) Announcement of your vocational meetings to start the following week �Vocational Meetings The Committee on women of tomorrow has taken its list of vocational leaders and from it has planned a series of meetings that will vary in subject, and will preferably follow a regular schedule, so that all the girls can plan ahead for regular attendance, as they will want to do# (Say, every Monday afternoon for eight weeks.) One sub-committee can be in charge of each meeting so that everything starts on time and in the right place# You can have three kinds of meetings: (1) Get-togethers with a speaker and a general discussion afterwards. You can work in teas, outdoor cooks or hikes, according to your leader’s subject. (2) Visits to institutions, schools, exhibits, musical and dramatic performances, led by someone who knows how to point out the things you want to know. (3) Actual experience in a training class or office or demonstration where you actually try out work that you are interested in# Of course you will want to keep a notebook containing: (1) Your vocational leaders’ names and what organization or school they come from (2) The various possibilities open to an alert girl who wants a career (and who doesn’t?) (3) Books to read about the things that interest you most (4) Your private comments, hopes and ideas about work to do This will be your personal record to guide you as you go ahead becoming the American woman that you would like to be. You see, we don’t expect this project to stop dead when you have sent your Album to National Headquarters and held your Public Event. We are sure that this new friendship and interest in-Women of Achievement will inspire you to think about your own achievement, and so you will go on, not only at the Vocational Meetings that are scheduled, but in your own thoughts and plans, preparing to take your place as Women of Achievement. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Camp Fire Girls collection, 1932-1960 Subject The topic of the resource Camp Fire Girls of Buffalo and Erie County Description An account of the resource The Camp Fire Girls organization was founded in 1910 and incorporated in 1912. The organization provided recreational opportunities for girls comparable to those existing solely for boys at that time. This digital collection highlights what can be found in the University Archives’ Camp Fire Girls collections: a 1939 Women of Achievement project, a 1932 Camp Aloha photograph album, a Camp Fire Girl uniform, and many badges and stencils. The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area.

Home Search of Camp Fire Girls Puts Neglected Heroines to Fore �Women of Our Achievement - 1939 Plan The original Intention in our project on the Women of Achievement was to find one out-stand ing woman of the past and one of the present that we might pay honor to each. We have found that Buffalo has so many outstanding women that to do this would be an injustice, for as it is, we are afraid that we have not completely covered our field nor found out an adequate amount about each person; therefore, we have voted to honor the most outstanding woman in each field. These we have underlined these in red. We wish to enclude material which we have obtained on other women who have come close to being the most outstanding in their respective fields by placing them in our book on the Women of Achieves nt of Buffalo. Twenty-one older girls have studied the lives of many outstanding women. We have selected twenty-one Women of Today and six Women of the Past. We feel that Charlotte Mulligan is the most outstanding of this era. Our Desire It is our desire to continue to learn and to further interest in the women of our city. �We Extend Appreciation To All The Senior Camp Fire Girls of Buffalo wish to express their appreciation to their advisors, Miss Elise Bradford and Mrs. Edwin E. Ellis for their cooperation on the Women of Achieve ment Project. Miss Elise Bradford advised us on the Women of Today. She is a member of the Zonta Club of Buffalo and does Interior decorating work at the Alice Hooker Studios. Through Miss Bradford we were able to meet many out standing women of Buffalo and to know the inside stories of so many of their lives. Miss Bradford know many of the leaders through her attendance at the Franklin School of Buffalo. Mrs. Edwin E. Ellis, advisor for the Women of Yesterday Committee, works faithfully with the Daughters of the American Revolution. She gave us many helps in searching for materials at our libraries and museums. We extend appreciation of Miss Henrietta Langnier, State President of the American Association of University Women, for her discussion and advise on the Women of Tomorrow. We appreciate the help given us by our ad visor from the Buffalo Council of Camp Fire Girls, Mrs. Daniel A. Borchard and from Miss Bessie Belle Fairchild, field worker of the council. We wish to thank the Buffalo Evening News, the Courier-Express, and the Buffalo Times for advise and articles which they printed on our project. We wish to thank the staff of the Buffalo Historical Museum for their help and to the Museum itself for the use of the building for committee meetings. �Our project on the Women of Achievement has been made interesting by the many outstanding women of the city who have so graciously granted us interviews, suggestions, and ideas. We have enjoyed our project and it is our desire to continue our interest in our civic leaders. We have enjoyed the contacts with so many outstanding people.

Chairman, Women of Today Committee �Katherine Cornell Actress Interviewed by Wilma Kuney Katherine Cornell, America's most famous actress of the legitimate stage, was born in Berlin, Germany and came to Buffalo at the early age of eight years. Miss Cornell was inspired by her great love of acting. Her father and grandfather were very clever ama teur actors. Miss Cornell received her education in Se attle, Washington and St. Margaret's School in Buffalo. She has traveled extensively and is now considering a trip around the world. She enjoys the simple life which she came in contact with during her stay at G arnish, Bavaria. Katherine Cornell has manyhobbies among which are swimming, hiking, skating, movies, and also enjoys reading a good detective story. Most of her acting has been in the United States but she has appeared in England and Canada. Although she has received and refus ed many offers from the radio and screen, that does not mean she will not accept day. some She now lives in New York City with husband, Guthrie McClintic, who is also her manager. Miss Cornell recently wrote "I wanted to Be come An Actress". "St. Joan", "Wingless Vic tory”, and "No Time For Comedy" are a few of her recent plays. Miss Cornell is easy to meet, glamorous, and a very charming personality. �Current Hit Dispels Cornell’s Fears of ‘Comeback’ After Vacation ‘Kit’ Denies Ambition, Works Hard Buffalo's Pride Regards Marriage As 'Best Fortune' By Sally MacDougall "Here she comes. on the dot. You could set your watch by her arrivals,” said a man just inside the stage door. The hour was 7:30. Katherine Cornell, in brown tweeds and no hat, came walking down the alley in W. 47th St., taking long strides Illio, the dachshund, waddling ex citedly at her side. The friendliness of her “Hello,” at the door was catching. Bubbling over with good nature, it seemed a sign of geniality to spare. In a jiffy she was arranging chairs in the star’s room. Illio jumped to his place on the sofa cushions. “It’s the loveliest dressing room I’ve ever had,” Miss Cornell said, seating herself in a chintz chair, with her back to the great mirror and the astonishing assortment of jars, bottles and brushes. Katharine Cornell, Buffalo’s and America’s first lady of the theater, always arrives at her dressing room “on the dot,” accord ing to the doorman. She’s now appearing in the successful “No Time for Comedy.” Reviews Dispel Fears The new portable radio, she ex plained, was a present from Lee Shubert. The stack of books was from Grace George, a gift on open ing night. “A thoughtful greeting from one actress to another, something that might make one forget for mo ments the awful ordeal of opening” —Steinbeck’s "Grapes of Wrath” and some mystery stories. Until her husband brought her next day’s newspapers, Miss Cor nell had supposed that she was a failure in the brilliant new play, “No Time for Comedy,” and was blaming it all on a two years’ vaca tion after she turned 40. Even yet, with the unani mous praise of the critics making her “happier than I’ve ever been before,” New York’s leading actress is in no mood to attach a testimonial to her two years’ rest idea. “Coming back is so awfully dif ficult,” she said. “When you’ve worked steadily for 20 years, then stay away for a long time you get misgivings, wondering if you’ll ever be good again. And now they say we have a hit. It’s good to be working again.” Minimizes Her Success Entirely without pretension, the First Lady of the Theater talked as if she were starting her career, With never a word about Saint Joan, Juliet, Candida, Elizabeth Barrett. She actually talked as if she didn’t consider herself any great shakes as an actress, and declared that even as a child, though she aimed at the theaters, she never yearned to be a star. But when it comes to working like everything, Katharine Cornell yields first place to no one. “I’ve never been very ambi tious,” she said. “I really don’t want many things from life. I like being happy in a balanced way. But since my very first little part until this one, I’ve worked frightfully hard. I’ve wanted to do the immediate thing terribly well. I still do. That’s the best I can say for myself. “I have awful faults. I keep putting things off. It’s hard to get me to plan ahead. I must have been lucky to have ar rived where I am.” And all the while her large, ex pressive eyes were aglow with the light that comes from being in high favor with those she likes. Crowning Good Fortune Having Guthrie McClintic for her husband and director is, she thinks, her crowning good fortune. She recalled the evening, 21 years ago, when he, scouting for talent for Winthrop Ames, went into the Provincetown Theater in Macdougal St. and made a note about a young actress. They still have the card on which he wrote, “Katharine Cornell, interesting, monoton ous—watch.” Four years passed before their wedding day. And although she regards theirs as an ideal marriage, the wife isn’t bubbling over with advice on how to be happy for 17 years. “We worry about different as pects of a play and I suppose each feeds the other. As a director, part of his success comes from my work. Also he has made that pos sible for me. It’s a peculiar kind of circle and very pleasant.” Take Separate Vacations They take their vacations apart because Miss Cornell likes long country walks in slacks with her dogs, while Mr. McClintic prefers excitement of city life.

That’s (Story �Jane Keeler Dramatics Interviewed by Doris Roy In 1927 June Keeler resumed from the faculty of the State Teachers College and organized a dramatic school and theater known as the studio Theater School.

One of the classes is made up of men and semen interested in the stage, radio, and teaching as a profession, as well as a group interested in personal develop ment to aid them in their business or profession. Another class includes ch ildren from the ages of seven to sixteen. The school is sponsored by a group of citizens who realize the cultural and educational valve of its training.

She says that if one wishes success, he should establish his goal and set out to attain it in spite of all. Her hobbies and interests such as dancing and music reflect her expressive career. How ever, her work at the studio is very engrossing and she finds real pleasure and interest there. We gladly accent any of the opinions on acting from such a talented teacher. She believes that acting gives people poise and ability to speak clearly and enables them to gain success in any field. She also states that talent may show in a person at practically any age. The best way to develop this talent is to go before an audience. Even a classroom recitation helps to draw out a student’s character. From Miss Keeler’s classes a galaxy of people have found fame on the screen, radio and stage. Helen Gardiner played in "The Small Miracle", Reid Herring takes minor parts and is,quickly gaining success in them. Kay Bishop and Jimmy Tranter are principle characters on radio ser ials, Clifford Jones, John Scott, and Herbert nice are announcers. These people are only a minority of those who have found professions from their previous training under Miss Keeler. To climax Jane Keeler’s success, the school was awarded $25,000 by the Rockerfeller Foundation, The fund will pay the school’s debt and permit even greater development. This grant was made under Miss Keeler’s direction. The school’s structure was made possible by a subscription of $31,000 by over 2,000 residents of this city. This support is evidence of the school’s fine reputation and its contribution bo civic and cultural life of Buffalo. �7 Miss Mildred Green Art Teacher At Buffalo Art School Interviewed by Elaine Jackson Mildred Green has been a commercial artist for years, and is really what used to be called a general specialist.

One day, while sorting over the mail, she came across a catalog of the Women’s College of Medicine in Philadelphia.

We have found that Buffalo has so many outstanding women that to do this would be an injustice, for as it is, we are afraid that we have not completely covered our field nor found out an adequate amount about each person; therefore, we have voted to honor the most outstanding woman in each field. These we have underlined these in red. We wish to enclude material which we have obtained on other women who have come close to being the most outstanding in their respective fields by placing them in our book on the Women of Achieves nt of Buffalo. Twenty-one older girls have studied the lives of many outstanding women. We have selected twenty-one Women of Today and six Women of the Past. We feel that Charlotte Mulligan is the most outstanding of this era. Our Desire It is our desire to continue to learn and to further interest in the women of our city. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Miss Cornell was inspired by her great love of acting. Her father and grandfather were very clever ama teur actors. Miss Cornell received her education in Se attle, Washington and St. Margaret’s School in Buffalo, She has traveled extensively and is now considering a trip around the world. She enjoys the simple life which she came in contact with during her stay at Garnish, Bavaria. Katherine Cornell has many hobbies among which are swimming, hiking, skating, movies, and also enjoys reading a good detective story. ost of her acting M has been it the United States but she has appeared in ngland and E Canada. Although she has received and refus ed many offers from the radio and screen, that does not mean she will not accept some day. She now lives in New York City with husband, Guthrie McClintic, who is also her manager. Miss Cornell recently wrote "I Wanted to be come an Actress". "St. Joan", "Wingless Vic tory”, and ”No Time For Comedy” are a few of her recent plays. Cornell is easy to meet, glamorous, and Miss a very charming personality. �Current Hit Dispels Cornell's rears of ‘Comeback' After Vacation ‘Kit’ Denies Ambition, Works Hard Buffalo's Pride Regards Marriage As 'Best Fortune' By Sally MacDougall "Here she comes. On the dot. You could set your watch by her arrivals,” said a man jus inside the stage door. The hour was 7:30. Katherine Cornell, in brown tweeds and no hat, came walking down the alley in W. 47th St., taking long strides Illio, the dachshund, waddling ex citedly at her side. The friendliness of her “Hello,” at the door was catching. Bubbling over with good nature, it seemed a sign of geniality to spare. In a jiffy she was arranging chairs in the star’s room. Illio jumped to his place on the sofa cushions. “It’s the loveliest dressing room I’ve ever had,” Miss Cornell said, seating herself in a chintz chair, with her back to the great mirror and the astonishing assortment of jars, bottles and brushes. Katharine Cornell, Buffalo’s and America’s first lady of the theater, always arrives at her dressing room “on the dot,” accord ing to the doorman. She’s now appearing in the successful “No Time for Comedy.” Reviews Dispel Fears The new portable radio, she ex plained, was a present from Lee Shubert. The stack of books was from Grace George, a gift on open ing night. “A thoughtful greeting from one actress to another, something that might make one forget for mo ments the awful ordeal of opening” —Steinbeck’s "Grapes of Wrath” and some mystery stories. Until her husband brought her next day’s newspapers, Miss Cor nell had supposed that she was a failure in the brilliant new play, “No Time for Comedy,” and was blaming it all on a two years’ vaca tion after she turned 40. Even yet, with the unani mous praise of the critics making her “happier than I’ve ever been before,” New York’s leading actress is in no mood to attach a testimonial to her two years’ rest idea. “Coming back is so awfully dif ficult,” she said. “When you’ve worked steadily for 20 years, then stay away for a long time you get misgivings, wondering if you’ll ever be good again. And now they say we have a hit. It’s good to be working again.” Minimizes Her Success Entirely without pretension, the First Lady of the Theater talked as if she were starting her career, With never a word about Saint Joan, Juliet, Candida, Elizabeth Barrett. She actually talked as if she didn’t consider herself any great shakes as an actress, and declared that even as a child, though she aimed at the theaters, she never yearned to be a star. But when it comes to working like everything, Katharine Cornell yields first place to no one. “I’ve never been very ambi tious,” she said. “I really don’t want many things from life. I like being happy in a balanced way. But since my very first little part until this one, I’ve worked frightfully hard. I’ve wanted to do the immediate thing terribly well. I still do. That’s the best I can say for myself. “I have awful faults. I keep putting things off. It’s hard to get me to plan ahead. I must have been lucky to have ar rived where I am.” And all the while her large, ex pressive eyes were aglow with the light that comes from being in high favor with those she likes. Crowning Good Fortune Having Guthrie McClintic for her husband and director is, she thinks, her crowning good fortune. She recalled the evening, 21 years ago, when he, scouting for talent for Winthrop Ames, went into the Provincetown Theater in Macd ougal St. and made a note about a young actress. They still have the card on which he wrote, “Katharine Cornell, interesting, monoton ous—watch.” Four years passed before their wedding day. And although she regards theirs as an ideal marriage, the wife isn’t bubbling over with advice on how to be happy for 17 years. “We worry about different as pects of a play and I suppose each feeds the other. As a director, part of his success comes from my work. Also he has made that pos sible for me. It’s a peculiar kind of circle and very pleasant.” Take Separate Vacations They take their vacations apart because Miss Cornell likes long country walks in slacks with her dogs, while Mr. McClintic prefers excitement of city life.

This group has grown Steadily over a period of twelve years from forty students to its present enrollment of approximately three hundred. One of the classes is made up of men and women interested in the stage, radio, and teaching as a profession, as well as a group interested in personal development to aid them in their business or profession. nothar class includes children from A the ages of seven to sixteen. The School is sponsored by a group of citizens who re alize the cultural and educational valve of its training. An important part of the school is a non-professional theater. Here over four h undred people have acted in the playa and about one hundred and twenty-five have worked backstage helping with scenery and costumes. The theater has created public interest and has given potential actors an opportunity for improvement. Miss Keeler received her early training in Ithaca college. She is graduate of Emerson College, and studied advanced work at Chicago University . She began her career as a reader and later taught at Northwestern and Winona State Normal Schools, The Bennett School of Applied arts, and State Teacher’s College, Buffalo. She once conducted her own studio at the Twentieth Century Club and is a well known lecturer and reader. During the past twelve years she has been director of the Studio Theater School. �Miss Keeler won her fame by determination. She was positive nothing would stop her. She says that if one wishes success, he should establish his goal and set out to attain it in spite of all. Her hobbies and interests such as dancing and music reflect her expressive career. How ever, her work at the studio is very engrossing and she finds real pleasure and interest there. We gladly accent any of the opinions on acting from such a talented teacher. She believes that acting gives people poise and ability to speak clearly and enables them to gain success in any field. She also states that talent may show in a person at practically any age. The best way to develop this talent is to go before an audience. Even a classroom recitation helps to draw out a student’s character. From Miss Keeler’s classes a galaxy of people have found fame on the screen, radio and stage. Helen Gardine played in ”The Small Miracle", Reid Herring takes minor parts and is,quickly gaining success in them. Kay Bishop and Jimmy Tranter are principle characters on radio ser ials, Clifford Jones, John Scott, and Herbert nice are announcers. These people are only a minority of those who have found professions from their previous training under Miss Keeler. To climax Jane Keeler’s success, the school was awarded $25,000 by the Rockerfeller Foundation, The fund will pay the school’s debt and permit even greater development. This grant was made under Miss Keeler’s direction. The school’s structure was made possible by a subscription of $31,000 by over 2,000 residents of this city. This support is evidence of the school’s fine reputation and its contribution bo civic and cultural life of Buffalo. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This digital collection highlights what can be found in the University Archives’ Camp Fire Girls collections: a 1939 Women of Achievement project, a 1932 Camp Aloha photograph album, a Camp Fire Girl uniform, and many badges and stencils. The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y.

This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them.

She enjoys painting the water-front, boats, and all kinds of outdoor life. The first thing that Mildred Green will say when questioned about her work is the simple phrase, "I like the out-of-doors ." Miss Green was born on a farm in Oneida Comity, and if she bid had her way, she would never have lived anywhere else but on a farm. She studied st the Buffalo Art School and she teaches there now. She always tells her pupils that the way to learn is to find out, and she practices what she preaches. She finds it hard for her to live in the city for she misses the water and the horizon that she watched when she stayed on the Lake shore. She drives down to the water nearly every day to enjoy the many interesting things that can be seen by those who look for them. She likes to go to Grand Island in the spring and carry out one of her hobbies, that of looking and listening for the early birds who have returned from the South. One thing that she likes about her house st 219 �North Street and which makes it easier for her to live in the city is the back yard. From her window can be seen beech trees. Maples, and other forest trees. Also, all kinds of warblers can be heard. But in spite of it all, she still misses the water and the horizon. She bought an old school house near Utica and fixed it up for a studio. She often goes there to paint, and has spent many happy hours at her so called "shack". Besides painting, she enjoys reading and music. She says she is not society and does not go out often unless it is to a good concert. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area. Some of the badges represent skill in music, nature lore, games and sports, thrift, trail maker, and various other areas.

She was bom in a small town in New York State. It was the custom in those days for the girls to become school teachers and a girl who followed the profession of a doctor was quite unheard of. But Miss Frye did not want to be a teacher, so, after she graduated from High School, she went to work in a store. It was a combination book store, printing office and library. One day, while sorting over the mail, she came across a catalog of the Women’s College of Medicine in Philadelphia. She read it through and right then and there she made up her mind to be a doctor, and from that day to this she has never wanted to do anything else. After working a year, she had enough money to go to college, so she attended Buffalo Medical College. She has always lived in New York State, except for one year when she in Detroit for her early internship internship. Besides the liking for the scientific side of her work, Dr. Frye enjoys the many inter esting acquaintances she makes. �She enjoys reading and playing cards and keeps various albums of places she has visited in the United States and Europe. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Born and raised to womanhood on a Min nesota farm, she always had been fond of animals and the great out-of-doors. Always on hand to patch up her dolls broken arms, and later on to aiding her pet dog’s bruises, Dr. Schley grew fond of nursing, and from then on determined to become a doctor. hen she became of age, her parents sent her to the University of Minnesota, here she took a special course for two years and a me leal course for four years. However, Dr. Schley specialized in lab oratory work and never practiced outside office work. Later on she became a member of the faculty of the University of Minnesota, because during the war time so many of the male doctors were ent to the front. hen a new ing of the Millard Fillmore Hospital was opened, authorities sent for �sent to the University of Minnesota for an expert technician. Dr. Schley was given the position and there she continued to work as head of the laboratory until 1933. Three months a year Dr. Schley assists the teaching of pathology to the sophomore medics at the University of Buffalo. During her 25 years of practice the cure for pernicious anemia was found by Minot, and the insulin treatment was discovered by Banting, as the cure for diabetes from which hundreds had heretofore died. During her career the medical center, which seemed to be planted in the Old World was suddenly switched to America. Dr. Schley believes that there is a great future for women doctors, in that there are only 55 in Buffalo, 635 in New York State making an average of one woman doctor to every eighteen male doctors. When asked the requirements for the medical career, Dr. Schley states three main factors: A girl should have good health because he work is hard and the hours long. A girl should have funds for going through college or should be helped by some philanthropic person and lastly she should be an average good student. Dr. Schley has been married for 6 years and has now retired to a more subdued life, mean while sending her 20 yer old adopted cousin through 4 years schooling at Cornell University. Dr. Schley has indeed been of great service to society for she has striven to secure a higher standing for the women of today who had heretofore suppressed their desires to beco me great in the medical field. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

About her work she says,"The efforts we both made under great difficulties and with many discouragements proved to be the most challenging a nd worth while experience of our lives." A graduate of Carthage High School, Carthage, New York, she later at ended the University of Michigan, where she received her A. B. de gree. The second year after the Porters arrived in Buffalo they went to Westminster House social settlement as resident workers. Mrs. Porter conducted a large girls club and worked with the Westminster Club of Women which is still in existence. They w orked, here for 2 years. Some years later they went to Neighborhood House, then occupying a fine old mansion at the corner of Oak and Goodell Sts. Here she served as Headworker for 6 years. Following �the death of her husband, in 1925, she was called into the office of the Buffalo City Planning Association to carry on an active campaign to secure more playgrounds for Buf falo. On the board they were able to increase the to total area used for public playground over 200% in 10 years. She served as Sec’y of the Buffalo City Planning Association for 12 years. For years she has been very active in pro moting the growth of the Camp Fire Girls in the Buffalo area, serving in various capacities as a member of the Executive Board and Council of the Buffalo Council of Camp Fire Girls. She was treasure o the Exective Board for quite a few years. During the Great War she was President of Buffalo City Federation of Women’s Clubs. She also was a strong advocate of women sufferage and worked to that end with Dorothy Thompson. For almost 40 years she has been a member of the Buffalo chapter for the A. A. U. W. Gardening is her favorite hobby. Her love of the out-of-door is probably derived from her life on a farm in Northern New York State. Closely related to the out-of-doors come the various forms of recreation which have been so largely developed in the cities of the United States in the last 35 years. As to the future of Social Service work, Mrs. Porter says that the field of both public and private recreation is being rapidly developed all over the country. Standards have been raised so that a college training is required. How to use leisure time to good advantage will be a challenge for leadership. �To sum up her idea of civic duty, "I beleive it the duty of every citizen to try to contri bute something to his city to make it a little better place in which the coming generation may live because of his efforts.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She was born in 1840 to the parents of workers in soc iety and was the sister of two very fine boys, Henry S. and Edward H. After Edward was married he was sent to Russia to Install the Bell tele phone system in that country. Miss Mulligan was very well developed both phy sically and metally. She had very dark eyes and her black hair was simplied combed. At the age of seventeen, she had the desire to teach a Sunday school class so she asked Rev. Cook if she might try out one of his classes. As there was only one class who was unsuccess ful in keeping a teacher, he gave her the job. It was a bunch of very wild, unbehaved boys of 10 and 12. She grow so attached to these boys that she not only taught them in Sunday school but organized an orchestra which played at Asylums, penetentiaries , and hospitals for cheering the inmates of these institutions. Later her "Guard of Honor" class grew so large that they had to move from the Well’s Street Chapel to some larger place near the Lakeshore. At this same time she organized a group of women who needed a helping hand. Here, also, her work expanded so that the location of the Ingleside Homefor Reclaiming and Evring Women is at No. 70 Harvard Place instead of the or iganal home on Vermont Street. It was moved four different times. Any color or creed of women were admitted to the home. Miss Mulligan was an ardent student who gradu ated from the Buffalo Seminary in 1863. Thegraduates of this associa �Graduates Association and the Women Teacher’s Associations purchased the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church which was turned into the 20th Century Club. This was all through her efferts and was the first club house in the United States that was only for women. She was the first president of this club and also of the Scribbler’s Club, later resulting in the Western Mew York Federation. She was knowen for her lovely low pitched speak ing voice and a contralto singing voice. To acquire this, she took several trips to Europe to study voice culture On her return to Buffalo she became "music critic" for the Buffalo Courier Express, a position which she held for twenty years. Cloverbank was the name given to her summer home which was in reality a remolded farm house. Here she entertain most of her friends. Her best friend, Mary Lattnap and her niece also stayed with her. She always was a church worker and used all her money on the things she thought were most worthy of it. The First Presbyterian Church had this devoted member. She was undertaking a serious matter when she had to appeal the legislature in order to help the conditions for the Insane men. Miss Mulligan certainly did all in her power to along the lines of moral uplift so thousands have drawen strength and guidance from her under standing, strong character and personality. Although she ended her fruitful life at the age of 55 many have gratefully paid tribute to her. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Her ancestors dated back to Revolutionary Generals. She was one of the first women to teach school, having a small class of pupils in her living room on Delaware Avenue. In difficult times she would send soup from her kitchen to the poor and hungry and this was only a small example of the fine character she represented. She was always look ing out for those less fortunate than herself and in many instances would not let her name be connected with her deeds. One of the greatest things that she ever did was to found Fitch Creche, the day nursery at 159 Swan Street. While she was traveling in France, she heard of a woman who went to work and left her daughter tied to a table. When she returned home the child was burned and the body a heap of ashes. This stirred Maria Love to action. She immediately began to think of some way to eliminate this in Amerida. So, upon her arrival in United States, she received the financial backing of Joseph Fitch and founded the day nursery. She was also intrumental in getting the money together to found the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial. There are only 2 documents dealing with the love family. One is a genealogical questionnaire filled out by her, which is now at the Historical Build ing and the other is a group of four letters that her father, a member of Congress, wrote to her. The family was strictly abolitionalists, and they hid runaway slaves until their trips to Canada. She was perhaps noted in the Social world for her famous carriages driven by sleek horses. She also made many gifts to the Historical Building, the Buffalo Public Library. She was very versa tile and even was theatrical in her early years while attending Farmington School in Connecticut. �Every year she attended the Children's Charity Ball. Here she had a special box, was dressed in white satin and fine lace. Many still remem ber the impressive figure that she made at these balls. It was in her 91st year that she died, 1931. For more than 3/4 of a centry she was a leading figure in social, civil, philanthropic life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At her mission she fed the hungry, clothed and sheltered the desti tute, and offered spiritual assistance to the derelicts. Because the White Light Mission at 515 Michigan Avenue grew larger it was moved to 505 Michigan. Further expansion caused it to be moved at 355 Ellicott where it is now located. In 1935, 12,351 persons attended evening ser vices: 384 professed conversion; 621 men and women were provided with beds and 2000 were provided with meals. Mother Ross got un at 6:00 every morning and finished her work at midnight. The only time her mission doors were closed was the time of her husbands death. A few years before her death she was chosen as Buffalo’s sweetest girl because of her patience, gentle, kindly manner of helping those unfortunate and the wayward.

She graduated from Ripley Female College, Poultney, Vermont, 1867. When she was young she wanted more than anything in the world to be a great poet. She wrote much verse in school and even later she always pre ferred to be known as a poet but few really agreed and she had to be content to be the auth or of 25 or more good mystery stories. She be came famous with her first publication "The Leavenworth Case". In 1884 she married Charles Rohlf's and lived in Buffalo on Park Street. Her husband still lives here. In her 83rd year she was described as "gentle, courteous, gracious and even shy". She could be pictured sitting in a big oaken chair surrounded by her books perfectly contented with life.

Title A name given to the resource Camp Fire Girls collection, 1932-1960 Subject The topic of the resource Camp Fire Girls of Buffalo and Erie County Description An account of the resource The Camp Fire Girls organization was founded in 1910 and incorporated in 1912. The organization provided recreational opportunities for girls comparable to those existing solely for boys at that time. This digital collection highlights what can be found in the University Archives’ Camp Fire Girls collections: a 1939 Women of Achievement project, a 1932 Camp Aloha photograph album, a Camp Fire Girl uniform, and many badges and stencils. The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area. Some of the badges represent skill in music, nature lore, games and sports, thrift, trail maker, and various other areas.

This digital collection highlights what can be found in the University Archives’ Camp Fire Girls collections: a 1939 Women of Achievement project, a 1932 Camp Aloha photograph album, a Camp Fire Girl uniform, and many badges and stencils. The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area. Some of the badges represent skill in music, nature lore, games and sports, thrift, trail maker, and various other areas.

The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area. Some of the badges represent skill in music, nature lore, games and sports, thrift, trail maker, and various other areas.

Title A name given to the resource Camp Fire Girls collection, 1932-1960 Subject The topic of the resource Camp Fire Girls of Buffalo and Erie County Description An account of the resource The Camp Fire Girls organization was founded in 1910 and incorporated in 1912. The organization provided recreational opportunities for girls comparable to those existing solely for boys at that time. This digital collection highlights what can be found in the University Archives’ Camp Fire Girls collections: a 1939 Women of Achievement project, a 1932 Camp Aloha photograph album, a Camp Fire Girl uniform, and many badges and stencils. The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area. Some of the badges represent skill in music, nature lore, games and sports, thrift, trail maker, and various other areas.

This digital collection highlights what can be found in the University Archives’ Camp Fire Girls collections: a 1939 Women of Achievement project, a 1932 Camp Aloha photograph album, a Camp Fire Girl uniform, and many badges and stencils. The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area. Some of the badges represent skill in music, nature lore, games and sports, thrift, trail maker, and various other areas.

Title A name given to the resource Camp Fire Girls collection, 1932-1960 Subject The topic of the resource Camp Fire Girls of Buffalo and Erie County Description An account of the resource The Camp Fire Girls organization was founded in 1910 and incorporated in 1912. The organization provided recreational opportunities for girls comparable to those existing solely for boys at that time. This digital collection highlights what can be found in the University Archives’ Camp Fire Girls collections: a 1939 Women of Achievement project, a 1932 Camp Aloha photograph album, a Camp Fire Girl uniform, and many badges and stencils. The Women of Achievement project was created by the 1939 group of Camp Fire Girls, who range in age from 13 to 19. This project highlighted successful local Western New York women. The girls chose women from various professions, such as lawyers, artists, actors, authors, musicians, doctors, housewives, teachers, businesswomen, and social workers. Some of the remarkable women featured were Katharine Cornell, a famous Broadway actress; Helen Z.M. Rodgers, an accomplished Buffalo lawyer; and Mrs. Austin Kimball, the national president of the Y.W.C.A. The Camp Fire Girls had a camp, Camp Aloha, located in Wales, N.Y. The sixteen page Camp Aloha photograph album features Camp Fire Girls doing various camp activities in 1932. They can be seen raising and lowering the flag, swimming, doing archery, dressing up in costumes, and doing arts and crafts. The album also features an undated news clipping from the Buffalo Courier-Express. The Camp Fire Girls ceremonial uniform consists of a dress, collar, and moccasins. This uniform was customized by the wearer and reflected the rank and achievements they had attained. Each patch and bead’s color, shape, and size had a meaning for members in the organization and reflected their abilities. This uniform was donated by Patricia Manuele and originally belonged to her daughter. The uniform was created sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. The merit badges and corresponding stencils were used by the Camp Fire Girls to create their own badges. The stencils are made of poster-board or a similar material, and the badges are made of leather and have the stencil designs painted on them. The badges are a symbol of a Camp Fire Girl being highly successful in a particular skill area. Some of the badges represent skill in music, nature lore, games and sports, thrift, trail maker, and various other areas.
