Abstract
The scrapbook contains newspaper clippings illustrating people from different cultural backgrounds enjoying the International Ball. The International Ball features many programs related to folk songs, dances, and costumes, allowing newspaper articles being created to show appreciation to the event. The impact of the Ball indicates how fast news of the events travels to print. There are also articles that focus on a Korean Aid Drive meant to help preserve the cultural collections of Korean Americans.
