Women's Basketball Team Appreciation Card (c. 1964)
Description:
This "Thank You" card, produced by Hallmark, was included at the end of a scrapbook dedicated to Springfield College's first women's basketball team, which played during the 1963-1964 academic year. The front of the card shows a bouquet of pink flowers next to the words, “With Appreciation.” It appears that the team signed the inside of the card, though there may have been a few others not on the team that also signed the card. The scrapbook was likely given to Jone Bush, who coached the team along with Martha van Allen. Amazingly, the team had a 7-0 season record.
