Her name was Ethel Downing and she was scheduled to graduate from HHS Class of 1925. She was a senior and had a date with "Jack W" on this special night. She kept the ticket stub which is attached to the front of the program. Ethel saved the program from the Temple Theatre from a play that had started two days earlier.
