This is Youth Trail 1952, a yearbook  “published by the young people of the High Street Baptist Church” at Springfield in Greene County, Missouri.  Included are photographic portraits, snapshots, and general information about the congregation and its programs.

 

High Street Baptist Church was organized as the High Street Fundamental Baptist Church on 19 April 1936 by the Rev. Charles W. Dyer.  In 1941 the Rev. William E. Daniel was ap­pointed pastor.  By June 1952 the congregation had over 4,500 members and occupied a new auditorium adjacent to the original church building at High and Prospect streets in northeast Springfield.  Later the congregation moved to an expanded campus adjacent to US-65 (Schoolcraft Freeway) near the Chestnut Expressway in Springfield.

 

This 152-page hard-bound book is similar to a high-school annual, with many photographs of church youth and leadership.  The volume is organized into thematic sections, the major ones being “Youth” and “Church,” with many subsections, including tributes to servicemen, lists of weddings, and memorial pages.
