Exceptional ribbon-bound deckle-edge program titled “Class of '91 Ogontz Closing Exercises, June 9th, 3 x 4.75, four pages. Spedden is listed as one of the 18 graduates under her maiden name, Margaretta Corning Stone, who was also the class valedictorian. In fine condition, with scattered light toning and soiling. The Ogontz School for Girls was a school for privileged girl students. Perhaps the most famous student was Amelia Earhart.
On the Titanic, Margaret, her husband, and her only child Robert were all able to survive. That Christmas she presented her son with a book filled with pictures and drawings of their European vacation including the sinking of the Titanic through the ‘eyes’ of her son‘s stuffed Titanic polar bear, which also survived the sinking. The book, Polar the Titanic Bear, was ultimately published in the 1990s when discovered by Spedden‘s relatives. The family survived the Titanic, but sadly Robert died at the age of nine when struck by a car in Maine. James Cameron’s Titanic features a scene with a young boy playing with a toy spinning top on the deck of the Titanic. That scene is based on an actual photo of the young Spedden playing with a spinning top on the first leg of the journey.
