Harry and Valerie Jerome Fonds MsC 151 Simon Fraser University Special Collections and Rare Books Eden Marchand September 2012 1

Fonds Description Title Harry and Valerie Jerome fonds Date(s) of creation 1887-2011, predominant 1946-2011 Extent 55 cm of textual records and other material Biographical Sketch Harry Winston Jerome was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan on September 30, 1940, and Valerie Jerome, his sister, was born in 1944. Their parents, Harry Vincent Jerome and Elsie Howard, met after the death of John Armstrong Army Howard who was Elsie s father and Harry s co-worker at the railway. In 1951, the Jerome family moved to North Vancouver, where both Harry and Valerie began their track careers. Valerie ran on the track team at Sutherland Junior High, and, a year later, Harry took up running at North Vancouver High School in 1958. After succeeding in his first track season, Harry was noticed by John Minichiello, a coach for the Vancouver Optimist Striders. Both Harry and Valerie ended up running for the Striders. While Harry excelled at many sports, his trademarks were his speed and running abilities. He was one of the best sprinters in his day, both within Canada and internationally. At age 18, Harry broke the 31-year-old Canadian record for the 220-yard sprint held by 1928 double Olympic gold medallist Percy Williams. In 1960, his athletic career became international when he equalled the world record for 100 metres by clocking in at 10.0 seconds at the Canadian Olympic Trials in Saskatoon. Harry and Valerie Jerome both qualified and ran in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. During the semi-finals at the Rome Olympics, Harry collapsed with a torn hamstring. In spite of this injury, he made his return during the indoor season in 1961. During the 1962 Pan-American Games in Perth, Australia, Harry suffered a major leg injury. He underwent surgery for the torn muscle in his left thigh in December 1962 and was unable to compete in the 1963 track season. He was told by orthopedic surgeons that he would never run again; he spent ten weeks in the hospital and months in a cast. During this time, the Harry Jerome Scholarship was created by R.C. Gibbs. In spite of the severity of his injury, Harry made his return to the sport in 1964. At the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, he earned a bronze medal in the 100- metre final. In 1966, at the British Commonwealth Games in Jamaica, he won the 100 metre finals, earning a gold medal. In addition, he also set a world record of 9.1 seconds over 100 yards that year and won a gold medal in the Pan-American Games in 1967. Harry competed in his third Olympics in 1968, representing Canada in Mexico City; however, he finished seventh in the Olympic final. At the end of the 1968 season, he retired, ending a career that included stints as the world s fastest man in tying the 100 yards world record of 9.3 seconds in 1960. Two years later he lowered it to 9.2 in a memorable day at Vancouver s Empire Stadium. In 1966, he 2

improved again upon that mark by running 9.1. During his career, he also held the world indoor mark for 60 yards and ran the anchor leg for his University of Oregon relay team that set a world mark in the 4 110-yard relay. After his retirement, he was named British Columbia s Athlete of the Century. Harry Jerome married Wendy Carole Foster, of Edmonton, in July 1962. He met Wendy at the University of Oregon, and they were married at the Norwood United Church in Edmonton. Wendy graduated from the University of Alberta and took a year of post-graduate work at the University of Oregon, where she met Harry. Harry and Wendy had a daughter, Deborah Jerome. Harry completed a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. at the University of Oregon. In addition to his athletic career, Harry spent time teaching. In 1964 and 1965, he taught math and science at Richmond Secondary School. In the late 1960s, Harry set up his own track club called the Charlie Brown Track Club. In the 1970s, he taught at Templeton as a Physical Education teacher. Harry was also involved in athletic programming for youth. He worked as a recreation consultant for Sports Canada, a program that worked in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Sport; during this time, Harry became involved in the Cross-Canada Sports Demonstration, a school program, which travelled from coast to coast with the theme You Can Do It. In 1971, Harry created the Premier s Sports Award Program, a program that ran in BC high schools until the early 1980s. In1971, Harry also received the Order of Canada. Harry Jerome died suddenly from a brain aneurysm on December 7, 1982, at age 42. In addition to her own track career, Valerie Jerome taught for 35 years. After Harry s death, she began the Harry Jerome Commemorative Society in 1983. The committee fundraised and created a memorial for Harry, a bronze statue, sculpted by Jack Harman, which is situated in Vancouver s Stanley Park. Harry s legacy still remains with the annual Harry Jerome International Track Classic and the Black Business and Professional Association s Harry Jerome Awards. Custodial history The records were in the custody of the creators, Harry and Valerie Jerome. When Harry died in 1982, Valerie Jerome took custody of the records held by Harry and also took custody of various records, such as newspaper clippings, photographs, audio cassettes, and videocassettes, which were given to her by friends of the late Harry Jerome. Valerie Jerome kept the records until their donation to Simon Fraser University Library, Special Collections and Rare Books in February 2012. Scope and Content The fonds consists of textual records and other media created by Harry and Valerie Jerome, which reflect the various facets of Harry Jerome s life, including academics, athletics, and community/national sports initiatives. While most of the records reflect Harry s life, the fonds also includes records that pertain to Valerie Jerome s life and her own athletic career, such as 3

newspaper clippings. In addition, a biographical manuscript, which is Valerie Jerome s written iteration of the story of the Jerome family and Harry s life, is included in the fonds. The fonds also includes records that were created by the Harry Jerome Commemorative Society and the Black Business and Professional Association s Harry Jerome Awards. In order to respect the multiple creators and the overall nature of the records, the fonds has been arranged into the following six series: Harry Jerome records; the Valerie Jerome records; Harry Jerome Award programs; the Harry Jerome Commemorative Society records; newspaper clippings; and photographs. The series are contained in eight boxes. Immediate Source of Acquisition The records were donated by Valerie Jerome in February 2012. Some additional biographical notes were obtained in July 2012 and additional newspaper clippings were added in September 2012. Physical Description note Includes 278 photographs, 3 videocassettes, 3 audio cassettes and 3 objects. Arrangement Records were in no discernible order when they arrived at SFU Special Collections and Rare Books. The arrangement of the fonds into series and file levels were provided by the archivist, with consultation of Valerie Jerome, in order to respect the multiple creators represented in this acquisition and the nature/context of the records themselves. Restrictions on access, use, reproduction, and publication Many of the works in this fonds, eg. newspaper clippings, written material, and photographs, are under copyright. Researchers are required to secure permission from the copyright holder(s) for uses of this material other than those covered by fair-dealing.

The series is arranged into one file, containing ceremony programs. The first ceremony was conducted in 1983. The ceremony was created by Hamlin Grange, Al Hamilton, Denham Jolly, Al Mercury and Errol Townshend, who had gathered in Toronto in November 1982 to discuss how to celebrate six Black athletes who had distinguished themselves at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia. The group had planned to host a reception and decided to invite Harry Jerome as the keynote speaker; however, when Harry Jerome suddenly died in December 1982, the group decided to name the awards banquet after him. The first ceremony was held on March 5, 1983. In the first year of the ceremony, awards were only given based on athletic achievements. In 1984, the categories were expanded to include academics and arts. In addition, it was decided to honour members of the Black community who had contributed to the community. Series 4: Harry Jerome Commemorative Society records Date(s) of creation 1982-2001 Physical description 24 cm of textual records Scope and content The series contains textual records created by the Harry Jerome Commemorative Society, which was formed by Valerie Jerome, following Harry Jerome s death. The Harry Jerome Commemorative Society was formed to achieve two main objectives: to establish a memorial tribute to Harry Jerome in recognition of his athletic achievements and contributions to society; and, to foster an appreciation of athletic accomplishment through the provision of scholarships and bursaries for athletes in BC. The Harry Jerome Commemorative Society funded the creation of a bronze statue of Harry Jerome, which can now be found in Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC, 6

through donations and their main fundraising event, a commemorative dinner in 1985. The series has been arranged into four files: general society records; meeting minutes; sculpture subcommittee records; and financial records. Arrangement Series reflects original order of records and original files, as created by the members of the Harry Jerome Commemorative Society, when it arrived at SFU Special Collections and Rare Books.

Series 6: Newspaper clippings Date(s) of creation 1946-2010 Physical description 4 cm of textual records Scope and content Series consists of newspaper clippings, dating from 1946-2010. The clippings pertain to the lives of Harry and Valerie Jerome, including their achievements in track and involvement in various groups and initiatives. As the clippings were accumulated by different persons, including Harry, Valerie, and friends who sent the clippings to Valerie following Harry s death, they are contained within their own series. The clippings reflect the mixed reaction that the media had towards Harry Jerome; many of the articles are critical of Harry. During the peak years of his career from 1960-1968, there are many articles about his various races, records, and injuries. The 7

clippings dating from 1982-2010 were collected by Valerie Jerome and include posthumous articles about Harry and the creation/unveiling of the Harry Jerome statue. Arrangement The series is arranged chronologically by year. 8
