Not everybody can look cute in a mug shot with a number under their chin.
Had Wife Lila elected a life of crime, the FBI would have had a tough time keeping her picture on the Post Office walls because teenage boys would have been snagging them to hang next to their Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs posters.
Pre-politically correct SEMO
This Southeast Missouri State College ID was issued while the school still had a newspaper called The Capaha Arrow, a yearbook named The Sagamore, and Chief Sagamore was a fixture at all the football games.
I removed Lila’s Social Security number and birth year to thwart ID thieves. I don’t know what all the holes that are punched out signify. The top evidently refers to the school year, but I don’t what the 1 through 25 boxes are for.
There’s a really great (and really BIG!) close-up of Lila on page 51 of the 1968 Sagamore, too.
Cute then and now. Great picture with a great smile. Good choice Ken
I think those holes punched in the card stand for the student’s attendance at “convocations” (lectures presented by different speakers brought in by the university). Every student was supposed to attend 10 lectures a year. At least that was done when I went to SEMO before 1964.
