We have recently added to the Portal a scrapbook compiled by Hilda L. Hugon during her junior and senior years at North Texas. Covering 1916-1918, the scrapbook includes photographs, newspaper clippings, event programs, and other items collected by Hugon–with handwritten annotation. Among the photographs, you can see views of early campus buildings as well as houses on Hickory and Sycamore Streets. Don’t miss “The Librarian’s parting gift!” on page 88. You may also be interested in The Yucca, Yearbook of North Texas State Normal School from that time period.
