AI Notes
Album page with a single large sepia studio portrait of a young woman mounted at center. She is shown in three-quarter view, head turned toward the camera with a slight smile, wearing a light-colored blouse with a corsage or floral spray at the right shoulder. Her hair is dark, parted at the side and waved. The print sits on a lined notebook sheet (the six binder-hole punches are visible at the right margin). A single line of pencil caption runs along the lower edge of the print. The subject is Mary Ann Walker, the compiler’s daughter, born 8 June 1918 (per the p629 pencil pedigree).
The subject is Mary Ann Walker, daughter of the compiler, born 8 June 1918. Her high-school years were spent at St. Mary’s, Raleigh, N.C. (Sept. 1934) and then Jacksonville High School (Jan. 1935 – graduated 1937). The compiler’s pencil “Graduated in 1933!” is a later mis-remembering — Mary Ann would have been only 14–15 in June 1933 and did not attend Savannah Senior High.
