Description:: This small collection contains photographs, negatives, and some school material collected by Hilda Menger. Ms. Menger was born in Holt, Michigan, on October 29, 1901. She graduated from Lansing High School in 1920 and went on to become a teacher, working in many of Lansing's schools during her career. She served as principal of High Street, Allen Street, and Fairview schools among others. She earned a bachelor of science degree from Columbia University in 1933, and a master of arts from the University of Michigan in 1950. Records in this collection also reflect that she attended the Michigan State Normal College (later known as Eastern Michigan University) in the 1920s, but it is not clear whether she graduated. Some of the negatives and photographs in this collection are of a farm, likely that of her relative G. Menger. The farm was located in section 17 of Delhi Township. Another Menger farm was in section 21. Most of the photographs and negatives are not identified. Hilda Menger retired from the Lansing schools in 1964, citing poor health. She lived until the age of 93, and is buried in Maple Ridge Cemetery in Holt. This collection was a 1996 estate sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries.
