Two sports photo albums or scrapbooks have been added to the library that includes portraits of pioneers, prominent community builders, businesses, street scenes, etc. available for browsing at the Valley Falls Historical Society museum.
The latest additions are two volumes of basketball history and memorabilia of newspaper clippings and photos for the 1966-1972 seasons during the reign of coach Bill Barnes. He is renowned for a record 100 wins after completing five years of basketball coaching.
Sports articles are from the Topeka Capital-Journal, Atchison Daily Globe, and local writings that include those of Junior Rush. Some personal profiles of county coaches, players, and cheerleaders share the limelight.
The albums are available during open hours or on advance arrangements and will be prominently displayed during class reunion periods.
The museum will be open Saturday, March 31, at 10 a.m.
