Wimbledon Central School for Girls.” printed on front cover of notebook. 9 x 7 in. Original paper wrappers. 27 handwritten pages, followed by 45 blank. Homemade brown paper jacket with original owner’s name and school administrative information in the top right corner; and “Monthly Journal” written in the center. Entries from 1935-1939. Marks student Beryl Kathleen Rose’s academic progress from 11 to 15 years old. Includes grades and notes from teachers in Literature, Composition, Grammar, French, History, Geography, Arithmetic, Science, Art, Needlework, and Handwriting. In later years, her studies expand to include Book-keeping, Algebra, Geometry, Physical Training, and Shorthand. Teacher comments generally remark on her friendly nature, but chide her to focus more on her studies. She is consistently listed in the bottom of her class (“position in form” is listed with each entry). “Beryl could do much better if she exerted herself more. She must learn to be self-reliant.” “Beryl’s work shows improvement on the whole. Her behavior is usually good.” “Beryl can do good work but she wastes too much time in idle talk.” “…an interested worker but must try hard for better results. She is a pleasant, courteous member of the form.” Very good condition.Item #16812
