My aunt Janet directed me to a website created to memorialize my mother's High School, the now-defunct University High School (http://www.uhighlives.org). The website directed me to my mother's senior year yearbook, the Tiger Claw.
According to the yearbook, my mother was not only one of the two editors of the yearbook itself, but had been, at various times, a member of the library committee, the art club, the chess club, the pep squad, the honor society, and the senior variety show, among other things.
I will try to post some pages from the yearbook, but first I must get permission from the University of Missouri. For now, you can click here to go straight to the yearbook itself. Pay special attention to pages 30 and 57 (I love the horn-rimmed glasses!).

Hi, Jake ~ We are profoundly grateful for your ability to pull information about your mother's formative years while attending U-High. A few years ago, the M.U. Archives digitized our yearbooks (The Tiger Claw)which makes it possible for anyone in the world to access them and learn our stories. I am sure that the Director of the M.U. Archives, Dr. Mike Holland, and his staff would enjoy knowing that their labor of love has allowed you to re-discover your mother's youth through the pages of these year books. I am quite sure that you are granted permission to post photos from the Tiger Claws to your blog. Please feel free to contact Dr. Holland directly at ...hollandm@missouri.edu
Best wishes and continued success with your excellent blog.
