Scope & Content:
A — Booklet of student essays. 33 essays, handwritten in pen or pencil on sheets of lined white, pink, or blue paper. Essays appear to have been a school assignment; students' names are written in upper corner or on back of each sheet along with date (10/1/73 or 9/28/73) and class period. Some sheets have assignment handwritten at top: "What is Floyd Dryden? a. the building, b. the student body, c. the teachers (Your personal impressions)." Essays generally cover one—half to one side of a sheet. First sheet of lined paper reads (handwritten): "Ms. Clark — More Floyd Dryden "stuff." These letters — or essays — were prepared and presented to him at the dedication — Shirley Steele" (for more on Marilyn Clark and Shirley Steele, see accession file). Essays are bound in folder with brown cardboard back, blue spine, and clear plastic front; typed cover page reads: "12/90 These essays came rolled in a "scroll" with "Mr. Floyd Dryden" handwritten on the outside. It was tied with black yarn. It appears that the essays were presented to Mr. Dryden as a scroll." Written in pencil in upper proper left corner of cover page: "#7, student essays, 1973, regarding dedication of Floyd Dryden Middle School."
