This is the very first page of Guy's scrapbook showing early clippings of him in Highschool. Guy made this scrapbook documenting his athletics and traveling baseball and diamond ball career. He was very proud of the book, and later his daughter re-made the book and added notes to the photos and dates. I thought this might be a nice compliment to the letters that passed during this time between Guy and Ange. The scrapbook often only has newspaper articles from the local rags where Guy and the Kentucky Colonels were playing, so that it is difficult to date at times. Alongside the letters though, the scrapbook adds a direct sense of place to the games and relationships of the players and the people.
