1943-44: senior portrait

Senior portrait of my mother, Ruth Murray, at El Dorado High School (in Kansas), 1943-1944.  The yearbook shows that she was in the debate club, honor society, senior play, and orchestra.  The high school was kitty-corner from the Methodist Church, where her father was pastor, and down the street from the parsonage where she lived with her father and younger sister.  My mother would not meet my father until the fall of 1946.
