--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.)
