MU2012/126 Folder #2 - Mildred's Photograph Collection:

Envelope reads M. College Years and since - First years after M.C. and M. C. years.  However, the Archvist believes these two sets of pictures were mixed up during the years because only ONE photo remains on the after M.C. side of the envelope -- and several photographs of young women, all dressed up exist.  There is also one photograph that includes young women and children and a reference is made on the 7 1/2 months baby picture about the recipient's daughter.

Larger picture of 9 girls on balcony of Oakwood. Two other photos - one of 9 of young ladies - one of a group of four -  appear to be from Homecoming 1937.  A caption on the verso of the group of 9 reads, "All working - Back at M.C. Homecoming."  This picture exists in a smaller version as well...as does another smaller and clearer version of the 9 girls on the balcony of Oakwood Hall.

Harold and Mildred were probably brother and sister, but more research is needed to verify this.
