"Claire Biedermann & Carol Devience"

Claire Bidermann, B.S. Class of 1957, from Crystal Lake, Illinois, is on the right in this image. According to the 1957 alumnae newsletter, “during the summer, Claire Biedermann will be a counselor at Camp Villa Marie, Pistakee Bay, Illinois—a camp for Chicago orphans under the supervision of Chicago Catholic Charities. 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.

This image is part of a collection of snapshots likely taken by Virginia Moore or her friends with a personal camera during Virginia's time as a student at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1953-1957). The snapshots were printed on Kodak Velox paper. The captions are primarily based upon information found on the back of the original photos, most likely written by Virginia. Some images had no information at all and individuals or events are identified based on other captions and information available in the Mount Mary archives. Captions in quotes are verbatim from the original images.

1953-1957
