Background

Scope and content:

This collection of photographs from the early 1900s includes several images of mostly unidentified women, likely taken at State Female Normal School.

Both sisters attended [then] State Female Normal School; Lucie earning her diploma in 1904 and Hallie in 1909. Lucie, however, returned to [by then] State Teachers College in 1931 and earned her B.A. in 1935.
