I love this photo.  So mysterious.  I’m wondering if she’s a member of some weird college sorority.  I collect old yearbooks and I’ve got two from Randolph Macon Women’s College from the years ‘46 and ‘47.  There’s a bunch of strange photos of the sororities – they called them secret societies – partaking in weird ceremonies.  Maybe I’ll scan and post some of those photos.
