    <div class="html-content">Special Collections continues our archival project <strong>Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th</strong>, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present UMBC's first yearbook, <em>Skipjack</em>, from 1968. <div><br></div><div><img src="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/img/AG_05a.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div><div><em><br></em></div><div><em><span>Skipjack</span><span>, 1968. UPUB S2-001, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) </span></em></div><div><br></div><div>In 1967, a group of ten sophomores and freshmen came together to create the first UMBC yearbook, entitled <em>Skipjack</em>. The students wanted to provide a unique outline to this first yearbook; instead of organizing it traditionally by events, organizations, and people, the yearbook staff decided to offer a chronological compilation of the beginning history of UMBC. Some of this history included early photos of UMBC under <a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/UPUB/id/4365" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">construction</a>, a dedication to UMBC's first chancellor <a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/UPUB/id/4370" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Albin O. Kuhn</a>, photos from the <a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/UPUB/id/4379" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">"Opening Day" of classes</a>, the birth of <a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/UPUB/id/4388" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><em>The Retriever</em> newspaper</a>, UMBC's first <a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/UPUB/id/4395" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">student government</a>, <a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/UPUB/id/4417" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Spring Week</a>, and the <a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/UPUB/id/4427" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever mascot</a>. After its first publication, <em>Skipjack</em> would only be published two more times, in 1969 and 1970. A few more yearbooks would be created throughout the years, <em>The Golden Retriever</em> in the late 70s and mid 80s and <em>The Spotlight </em>published 1988-1989, but the tradition of a yearbook would unfortunately never stick at UMBC. </div><div><br></div><img src="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/img/AG_05b.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Learn More: </div><div><br></div><div>-<a href="http://lib.guides.umbc.edu/umbchistory" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">History of UMBC Research Guide</a></div><div>-<a href="http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/specoll/universityarchives.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Archives Webpage</a></div><div><span>-</span><a href="http://cdm16629.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/search/collection/UPUB/searchterm/skipjack!/field/title!/mode/all!/conn/and!/order/nosort" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Digital Collection of Skipjack Yearbooks</a><span> </span></div><div><br></div><div>View All: <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold </a></div></div>

First starting in 2005, the bonfire is an iconic tradition among the Homecoming festivities at UMBC. The idea for a bonfire came from First Year council member Thomas Locastro who gathered support for the event in October 2005. He had the honors of lighting the fire that year, as well as in 2006 and 2007. Since then, the annual bonfire lighting has taken place each year, except for two years when the event had to be canceled due to rain and bad weather. Activities at the bonfires over the years have included fireworks, movie showings, pancake eating contests, and free food.  </div><div><br></div><div>Learn More: </div><div><br></div><div>-<a href="http://lib.guides.umbc.edu/umbchistory" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">History of UMBC Research Guide</a></div><div>-<a href="http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/specoll/universityarchives.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Archives Webpage</a></div><div>-<a href="http://contentdm.ad.umbc.edu/cdm/ref/collection/Retriever/id/5306" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Complete Edition of <em>The Retriever Weekly</em> (Volume 43, Issue 10)  </a></div><div>-<a href="http://cocreateumbc.blogspot.com/2012/10/scenes-from-homecoming-bonfire-photos.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Photos/Videos of 2012 Bonfire from Co-Create UMBC</a></div><div><span>-</span><a href="http://homecoming.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Homecoming Webpage </a></div><div><br></div><div>View All:  <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://my.umbd.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold </a></div></div>

Their proposed motto "It Feels So Good" was chosen for the campus' first Homecoming in February of 1976 believing that it expressed "the feelings of alumni as they greet old friends" and "the wishes of the whole UMBC community to enjoy the pride and the sense of tradition that other schools possess"  (1976 Homecoming Committee booklet).  Students, faculty, staff, administrators, and UMBC alumni were invited to take part in the celebration with various activities and events, including a pep rally, a mixer featuring band "Climb-A-Donkey," and a homecoming basketball game against the Towson Tigers.  </span></div><div><br></div><div>Learn More: </div><div><br></div><div><span>-</span><a href="http://lib.guides.umbc.edu/umbchistory" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">History of UMBC Research Guide</a></div><div>-<a href="http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/specoll/universityarchives.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Archives Webpage</a></div><div>-<a href="http://contentdm.ad.umbc.edu/cdm/ref/collection/Retriever/id/8697" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Article About First Homecoming in <em>The Retriever</em></a></div><div><span>-</span><a href="http://homecoming.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Homecoming Webpage </a></div><div><br></div><div>View All:  <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold</a></div></div></div>

<Title>American Archives Month exhibit</Title>
<Tagline>October 1-30 in the Library Rotunda</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>This is the sixth year of celebrating American Archives Month at UMBC! This year we're looking deep into our institution’s shared history with the 
    physical space that we occupy today. On display in the Library Rotunda 
    are photographs, artifacts, and clippings from the Stabler family papers
     (<a href="http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/specoll/Stabler/index.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Collection 27</a>),
     which were donated by the descendants of Edmund Stabler, a long-serving
     superintendent of the Baltimore Manual Labor School. An online exhibit 
    about the School will also be available this month. Both of the exhibits
     were curated by recent UMBC graduate Nichole Zang, with assistance from 
    Special Collections graduate student assistant Tucker Foltz and 
    Archivist Lindsey Loeper. Nichole’s History M.A. thesis informed the work on display; a copy of her thesis, “Holy Temples to Dark Rooms: 
    The Origins of Baltimore’s Juvenile Reform Movement of the Nineteenth 
    Century,” is also available in Special Collections. <br></p><img src="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/img/MSS1988-02-020.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><br><br><em>Members of Stabler family with dog and chickens, Stabler family

    <p>American Archives Month is a collaborative effort by professional 
    organizations and repositories around the nation to highlight the 
    importance of records of enduring value. Archivists are professionals 
    who assess, collect, organize, preserve, maintain control of, and 
    provide access to information that has lasting value, and they help 
    people find and understand the information they need in those records. -
