小鎮居民的心中迴響
地方性遺產
一旦您畢業後，學校的什麼事物最讓您懷念？
1999年的春季，華盛頓的楓樹瀑布小學(Maple
Falls Grade School)就關閉了。雅各比(Nicholas
Jacoby)及該區內的其他小孩，將在新建的坎德爾小學(Kendall
Elementary School)內就讀。但雅各比的媽媽不希望他忘記舊的楓樹瀑布小學，所以她要他完成一本「回憶冊」。結果，這演變成全社區的回憶冊。藉由她朋友的幫忙，雅各比太太出版了「小鎮居民的心中迴響：貝克山的山麓丘陵及楓樹瀑布小學，1889-1999」一書，這本書的內容包含了照片、故事及社區居民的回憶。
雅各比的曾祖父畢爾瑞(Galen
Biery)也幫忙編寫這本回憶冊。雖然他死後，這本書才完成，但畢爾瑞所收集的照片卻是這本書的靈感來源。他開始收集該區1940年代的照片，並訪問鎮上人們，詢問他們的生活情形。1994年，畢爾瑞死後，他的家人把他收藏的35,000多張圖像捐贈給霍特科姆歷史及藝術博物館(Whatcom
Museum of History and Art)。
為什麼不做一本就讀學校的回憶冊呢？向您的老師詢求幫助。
What will you remember about your school once you have left it?
In the spring of 1999, Maple Falls Grade School in Washington closed. Nicholas Jacoby and other children in the area would attend the newly constructed Kendall Elementary School. But Nicholas's mom didn't want him to forget about the old Maple Falls Grade School, so she made him a "memory book." As it turned out, it became a memory book for the whole community. With the help of her friends, Mrs. Jacoby published Reflections from the Heart of a Small Community: Mount Baker Foothills and Maple Falls Schools 1889-1999. The book included photos, stories, and memories of community members.
Nicholas's great-grandfather, Galen Biery, also helped create the memory book. Even though he died before the book was produced, the photographs that Biery collected were the inspiration for the book. He began collecting old photographs of the area in the 1940s and he interviewed people about life in the town. When he died in 1994, his family donated his collection of more than 35,000 images to the Whatcom Museum of History and Art.
Why not make a "memory book" of your school? Ask your teacher for help.
