"Pauline St. Grammar IX Grade. / (taken June 9, '93. Dark brown silk dress with light blue feather stitching Annie 678, always called this "Mertie's hair picture" I suppose I was overproud of my hair as it reached below my waist. I had a homely nose, and was glad to have hair that was often admired!)
