• 268 Seeds of Wheatland 1976-1979 103

  This is a collection of Seeds of Wheatland which is a student paper reflecting activities each quarter in the year. The first issue each year basically is published in October. This is a nice collective showing the growth of the students, their names, names of teachers and events that they participated in. It was a School-wide paper to show pride of place and student to the parents. It did include some political material and included material regarding the consolidation efforts. Wonderful history. FOR THIS COLLECTIVE, We chose to separate the booklets by the CALENDAR year, not the volumes. This does force the booklets to bridge different school years. Researchers should understand this. In 1956, the numbering reflected Volume 3 which indicates that SEEDS started at least in 1953-1954.

• 799 A little history Valentine 129

  2010 -2014 comments to the Making Salem Better Google Groups as part of "a little history" segment that I created to hear/see what people thought of history comments and pictures. "A Little History" gave way to material first on the Making Salem Better Facebook Page (as a test for interest) and then the Facebook Page for the Western Kenosha County Historical Society. The result grew the Facebook Fans to over 700. All that material has since been converted to this searchable PDF and removed from the internet. The information recorded was done in as a causal conversation about the image/s and is meant only to give hints to the researcher to pursue as their personal interest grows. In this version, there may be additional images because it is much easier to insert an image in a WORD document than on Facebook or in Googlegroups. All of this is original creation by Linda Valentine unless there is citation.
