1931 Bethany Daisy: The Senior Class pt. 3 (pg. 34-36)

This is part three of the senior class photos and part four of my ongoing series of pictures and transcriptions of the 1931 Bethany Daisy that belonged to my great grandma Frances Elsie Caroline Gustafson.Frances got notes from a significant portion of the students. Many students chose not to write their letters by their senior photograph, but instead by a photograph of them doing an activity they like, or they chose to use an entire blank sheet of paper for their note, so its entirely possible people who don't have notes showing yet will have them later on in the book.

    1. I'm glad I could be helpful! The yearbook transcription project is one I hope to resume again in a few months. There are so many notes and pictures I have yet to upload! The longer ones especially give good background on what going to college in Lindsborg was like in the 30s. 3 Generations of my family went to Bethany.
