Scope and content
In December of 1937, the second and third grade classes at Roosevelt School, 3550 East Roosevelt Avenue, decorated a "Bird Christmas Tree" in the school yard for their feathered friends. Clifford Matousek, Beverly Jo Companoli and Edmund Wright were pictured, left to right, replenishing the tree's supply of special bird friendly "ornaments." The ornaments consisted of strings of popcorn, pieces of bread carved into animals and citrus fruit shells filled with birdseed and sunflower seeds. The schoolchildren made sure the little fliers would not go hungry during the Christmas season. (T. Times 12/20/1937, pg. 1) (filed with Argentum)
