Jan 1943: report card

--Report card of my mother, Ruth Murray, for the fall semester of her junior year at El Dorado High School, 1942-43.  Possible grades were “E—Excellent; G—Good; M—Medium; P—Passing; F—Failing.”  When my mother was a 15-year-old junior at El Dorado High School, my father was a 17-year-old sophomore at Southwestern College, fifty miles to the south.  They did not meet until the fall of 1946.  (I have no letters from my mother until 1946; this report card is one of the few documents I have from her in 1943.)
