Description:
A is album page. B is photo affixed to front of page, C is photo affixed to back of page. All photos approximately 3.5" x 5.5" with white border unless otherwise noted.
A — Album page, 7" x 11.25" manilla paper , with handwritten captions on front and back. Also four pieces of pale blue paper with black printed captions affixed to front at top and upper proper left quadrant.
B — Black and white photo, 2.75" x 3.5" (with no border), of two men, a child, and a dog. Man on proper right has medium—dark straight hair and is wearing darker clothes than other man; body is turned toward proper left while head faces toward proper right, and left arm is raised and bent with hand wrapped around paw of a dog. Man on proper left has light straight hair and wears white long—sleeved shirt; he is facing proper right with arms loosely on either side of a girl who stands before him. Gir where's medium—dark coat and white beret. Dog is positioned on higher level than men, so that he is visible above right shoulder of proper left man. Another figure in background. Captions printed on blue paper above and to proper left of photo read: "SS Yukon — Voy. 177" "Northbound Aug. 12, 1935." "SCENES IN SOCIAL HALL It is plain to be see [sic] that the scenes shown in the social hall last night by Father Hubbard, has stolen the spot—light. Previous to this, our dance and entertainment nightly has been fairly well patronized, but the marvelous show given by Father Hubbard, so sufficed, that few remained to enjoy anything that followed. What a revelation to all of us, tourist and sourdough alike, Father Hubbard's presentations were and will be. We impatiently await the ones to follow nightly." "SCENES ON DECK Whatever may have been interesting sank into insignificance yesterday when Ed Levin and Ken Chazzan brought on deck their two Alaskan dogs and put them through their paces. It is very plain to recognize these two boys, pupils of Father Hubbard's, as two young gentlemen to be heard from in the near future, in a big way. For the present however, they, the two dogs and not forgetting the pugs, constituted the entire interest of happenings in our "Scenes On Deck" column yesterday." Handwritten caption below photo reads: "The man to the left is Father Hubbard and the one to right is one of his helpers. The dog was a very larger brown wolf like dog. These pictures were taken on top deck boat, when they had the dogs out for a little exercise. Was a bright sunny morning. These were taken with my kodak."
C — Black and white photograph of Patsy Ann, white dog with dark buckled collar lying on ground before a wall of mottled horizontal boards with head erect and turned toward proper left. Printed in black across bottom of photo: "Patsy Ann Official Greeter of Juneau, Alaska ~ Meets All Boats." and "Ordway (c) 1935 Juneau 35432B." Handwritten caption above photo reads: "After leaving Petersburg at noon we sailed on up the channel until about eight o'clock in evening where we came to the town of Juneau. Here our traveling ended for it is here that Floyd had accepted a position as principal of Grade school. It was dark and not knowing our way around we finally found a taxi which took us to the Gastineau Hotel. Here we lived for three days while looking for an apartment which we found very hard to located a place to live, rent is very very high. Finally after living at hotel for three days we secured a room in private home until we [this word has been added in darker ink] could move into the apartment which we now occupy, Gross Apts. Apt. H. The wood work in the apartment is all hardwood." Handwritten caption below photo reads: ""Patsy Ann" the short hair, color pure white dog who meets every boat which enters the harbor she never fails rain, shine, sleet or snow, day or night but what Patsy Ann is right on time, sometimes barking for a little "hand out" from the cook on the boat."
