My Neighbors Howard has an interesting and fascinating hobby About myself. I am Howard Frizzell, a sophomore, from Nor folk, Va. 1 am very much in terested in old periodicles most- df the last century. I have been .tollecting old papers for some time and enjoy magazines, books, and news- ipapers for some time ana enjoy it very much. I have around 200 copies in my collection. Some of the works are truly coUectW's items While others are commonplace. A person can loam a lot about the past by reading these old works. I guess that is why they fascinate me so. About the old papers. These papers, which make up most of my collection, range by date from 1854 to 1896 and come from the major East Coast and West Coast news paper com panies. I also have some from papers that are no longer published. These papers are very large (lat least tvine columns per page). They also have extremely small front page headings. They were made far superor to our modern papers; they have no mispelled words and the grammer is perfectly cor rect. The paper used in the printing was made of a type of linen and is in very good con dition today ( some being over 120 yrs. old ). ‘ Why I brought them to Cho wan. I am studying American literature under Mrs. Undine Barnhill. I find this a very in teresting subject and recom- it to any student who is literary minded. Mrs. Barnhill found out that I had these old papers and asked me to share them with the class. mf ■%% 11 -- f, Even with classes, spring is wonderful!
