That drum says Dickinson County High School. Was this listed under the previously mentioned high school?

I'm going to try that recipe. I'll report back when done.

Yeah, there’s some confusion about that in the listings. I think it’s actually Dickinson County High School in the town of Chapman.

Good! I’ll be anxious to hear how that is. So what is simple syrup? And how do you know the ratio of prepared syrup to carbonated water? (By the way, notice the Coca-Cola urn in the photo. I presume that’s what held the syrup.)

Identity, date, and location unknown... I wonder what she was thinking about?

The beautiful and famed Shakespearean actress Julia Marlowe (1865-1950).

By the way, an interesting sidelight: having read about her career, I was interested to learn if there were any films or recordings of her—no films, but there is a 1920 audio recording of her with partner E.H. Sothern of the famous balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, a role in which she was particularly renowned and admired.

I was not prepared for what I heard: the style of their acting voices, to modern ears—at least to these modern ears—sounds extremely odd, particularly hers. I found it hard to understand how audiences would have responded to that. Take a listen if you want and see what you think.
