Description
The bulk of the material in this collection derives from the 1931 incident at Fairfax High School in which Clewe was criticized
for involving her students in disarmament issues. The first series, FAIRFAX HIGH SCHOOL, is comprised of this material and
is followed by REFERENCE MATERIALS, CORRESPONDENCE, ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES, and JOHN F. CLEWE.
Background

until approximately the late 1930s or early 1940s. As a member of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF),
she was active in local peace and disarmament efforts.
