Ruth Wintermute Drew: A Glimpse into the Life of a Female Teacher, Bedford High School 1927-1940

Ruth’s adult children share a part of the collection of their mother, who taught at Bedford High School, 1927 to 1940. Collection includes her teaching contracts, letters from the Superintendent, memories, photos and insights from her personal record books and diaries. The period includes the “roaring 20’s”, “the great depression”, “contract stating that female teachers could not marry.”

Given by Daniel Drew with the assistance of his siblings: Marge Rhoades and Irvin Drew
