She will teach third grade in the Crystal Lake Public Schools System in fall.” Carol Devience was also part of the Class of 1957 but it is unclear if she graduated from Mount Mary. Both women are in formal school attire which was required for various school functions in the 1950s. While at first glance this appears to be a graduation photo, it could have been taken at other events such as the Capping Ceremony or Academic Investiture.
