  • Women's Clothing in the 18Th Century
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions A Peek Inside Mrs. Derby’s Clothes Press: Women’s Clothing in the 18th Century In the parlor of the Derby House is a por- trait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, wearing her finest apparel. But what exactly is she wearing? And what else would she wear? This edition of Pickled Fish focuses on women’s clothing in the years between 1760 and 1780, when the Derby Family were living in the “little brick house” on Derby Street. Like today, women in the 18th century dressed up or down depending on their social status or the work they were doing. Like today, women dressed up or down depending on the situation, and also like today, the shape of most garments was common to upper and lower classes, but differentiated by expense of fabric, quality of workmanship, and how well the garment fit. Number of garments was also determined by a woman’s class and income level; and as we shall see, recent scholarship has caused us to revise the number of garments owned by women of the upper classes in Essex County. Unfortunately, the portrait and two items of clothing are all that remain of Elizabeth’s wardrobe. Few family receipts have survived, and even the de- tailed inventory of Elias Hasket Derby’s estate in 1799 does not include any cloth- ing, male or female. However, because Pastel portrait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, c. 1780, by Benjamin Blythe.

  • TAS Alumni News Volume 15 Summer 2014
    TAIPEI AMERICAN SCHOOL VOLUME Summer 15 2014 TASTAS AlumniAlumni NewsNews A Message from the Superintendent hrough the lens of securing a strong foundation, establishing Toutstanding programs, recruiting and retaining the highest quality personnel, and communicating the value of the TAS experience, alumni watch their institution grow. Colin Powel, the first African American appointed as the U.S. Secretary of State, instructed, “Have a vision. Be demanding.” We have demanded a great deal to bring the vision for our students into focus. With a firm financial foundation in place, we have been able to erect beautiful, green facilities that have enhanced programs and student learning across all three divisions. The Tiger Center provides the educational resources that we have come to expect from a world class fitness center. The construction of the Black Box Theater has already enriched our performing arts program in the upper school. By moving upper school classrooms into the new buildings, we have been able to expand our middle and lower school facilities. The middle school, now with a stronger educational culture and identity, extends vertically over four floors. Like the middle school, the lower school is now characterized by its customized, dedicated learning spaces. A growth in space means a growth in programs. Most impressive is the introduction of a middle school competitive sports program. This comprehensive competitive sports program prepares our students to be capable athletes and gracious competitors at the upper school level and in life. Our programs continue to excel in other areas as well. Public speaking, serves as an example of program excellence that has grown for TAS students.

  • Hostess Without the Mostess by Reg P. Wydeven
    Hostess without the Mostess By Reg P. Wydeven November 28, 2012 When I was a kid, it seemed everyone had a cute mascot that promoted their message. There were the cereal mascots: Tony the Tiger, Cap’n Crunch, Cuckoo the Bird, Digg’em the Frog, The Trix Rabbit and the Honey-Nut Cheerios Bee. Then there was Charlie the Tuna, Woodsy the Owl, Smokey the Bear, and the Jolly Green Giant. My personal favorite, however, was Twinkie the Kid. Twinkie the Kid was an oblong cream-filled cake who wore a cowboy hat and boots, a kerchief and brandished a lasso. I can’t imagine what he would try to catch with his lasso and he probably didn’t fare well under the Western sun, but I still thought he was cool. Unfortunately, Twinkie the Kid may be put out to pasture. Last week a federal bankruptcy judge approved Hostess Brands, the manufacturers of Twinkies, winding down its business and selling all of its assets. The Irving, Texas-based company claims that its “inflated cost structure” put it at a competitive disadvantage. The cause of the inflated cost structure allegedly stems from collective bargaining agreements covering 15,000 of its employees. These employees belong to the Hostess’ second biggest union, the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union. The snack manufacturer released a statement saying, “Hostess Brands is winding down the company after a nationwide strike initiated by the BCTGM that commenced on November 9 crippled its operations at a time when the company lacked the financial resources to survive a significant labor action.” Hostess has been paying almost $1 million a day in wages without any income since it halted operations last week.

    Diaries of Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920 Diaries of Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920 Helen Benker Obst Helen Annie Benker was born on February 21, 1898 to Hermann Franz Benker and Anna Hirsch Benker. Hermann came from Meerane of Saxony, Germany and Anna from Gera of Thuringia, Germany. Hermann’s and Anna’s fathers had both been weavers. No dates have been found when Hermann arrived in the US but he first went to St. Joseph, Missouri before moving to Lawrence for work as a weaver in the wool mills. Anna Hirsch at age 17 arrived with her family in New York on August 14, 1891 on the ship SS Taormina. She met Hermann Benker in Lawrence and they were married on March 11, 1897. Helen was baptized “Nellie”. When she started 1st grade in public school, the teacher told her that Nellie was a nickname and she had to choose between Helen and Ellen. Her parents told her it was her choice, so she named herself “Helen”. But many friends still thought of her as Nellie. She lived the first 11 years of her life at 66 Alston St. Lawrence, MA. Graduated from Allgemeine Deutsche Schule in 1910 In 1910, Helen’s parents built a 3 family house at 199 East Haverhill St. Lawrence. Helen was to spend the rest of her childhood and all of her married life there and died in her bed at this address. Graduated from John R Rollins grammar school in 1911 Graduated from Lawrence Evening High School in 1914.
