Join the Head Reference Librarian at BAPL on September 27, 2022 at 6:30pm to celebrate and explore a brand new digital archive all about Liberty High School<\/a> as the school celebrates its 100th anniversary. The archive includes a newly released collection of the entire century of The Cauldron, <\/span><\/i>Liberty High School\u2019s annual yearbook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Head Reference Librarian Matthew Rothfuss will take the audience on a tour through the process of collecting, digitizing, and sharing thousands of pages of these yearbooks dating back to 1922.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe at BAPL are so thankful to the community for how they responded and collaborated with us on this project. We couldn\u2019t have completed it without the contribution of so many,\u201d Rothfuss said. He explained that all the entire 100 years of yearbooks are now available on the library\u2019s website, free and open to all to access. The archive also includes photos of events like high school reunions, programs from football games, and all sorts of historical ephemera from the school\u2019s long life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Light refreshments will be served at the event at the Main Library, and the audience is encouraged to share their memories of <\/span>The Cauldron <\/span><\/i>as well. Will you be brave enough to share your high school portrait with the crowd?<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a fascinating look through the past. Consider a few of the first graduating class (1923) like Paul “Bots” Brunner, described as a “Dapper Dan.” Consider Dora Leidich whose photo was underscored by a bit of poetry: “Parent of golden dreams, Romance; Auspicious dream of childish joys, Who leadst along, in any dance, Thy native train of girls and boys…”<\/span><\/p>\n
