This is a substantial memory book beautifully handcrafted by an art student in Colorado, Gertrude Van Lopik. Gertrude Elizabeth Van Lopik was born in Michigan in 1894. Her family moved to Colorado and she graduated from Colorado Springs High School in 1914. By 1919 she was teaching art in Detroit public schools and through the 1920s she made national headlines for facilitating the arrest of Rev. R.A.M. Brown, "one of the country's most notorious love pirates" (and her former beau) for bigamy and check fraud. She married Allison Lawton Jones in 1926, and started a family in Detroit. We gather that at some point she retired to Florida; we found a website for Gertrude Vacation Rentals, "dedicated to Gertrude Van-Lopik Jones, an early pioneer of both adventure and life experience travel, vigorous lover of life, Siesta Key resident, and model for standing above the everyday." The present item is largely Gertrude's handmade high school memory book. It has lovely hand-colored page borders and headings, and autographs of what might be the entire student body (as well as some faculty), many denoting club officers and college plans. There are photos of Van Lopik "As the greenest of Freshies," posed for portraits, celebrating "Sweet Sixteen!" and the summer after graduation with friends at Denver City Park and "Some Carnival! at Grand Haven, Mich." She pasted in copious clippings from school publications, many with images like the "English department at work," "Faculty Females on a Spree" and identified "Football leaders." Keepsakes include dance cards, programs for plays and other events, clippings and campaign ephemera revealing members of the school "Senate" and other associations. Many pages hold her handwritten observations on social encounters and reports of graduation gifts. The book also documents Lopik's tenure at the Colorado Springs Academy of Fine Arts. There are several images of her work, clipped from newspapers and what might be school publications, as well as ephemera from the annual students' exhibition. One great photo shows a mixed-sex, androgynously-dressed group of students "Fussing! Not exactly" and there's a charming list of questions and their answers "with 2 words beginning with your initials" (our favorites: "What is your occupation? Giving Love" and "Do you sing? Glory, Loads"). A lovely and creative memory and autograph book of a young woman in Colorado.
