Graduation: Velma M. Pierce

Velma Moree Pierce (1913-1993) appears in a graduation robe above. Her dress can be seen peeking out from the bottom of the robe. The picture below shows her in the dress.

These are no doubt photos of Velma's high school graduation. But the photos do not appear to be taken in Wilmer, Alabama. For a time, Velma lived with her sister Ina Mae and Ina Mae's husband Joe Gibson in Indiana. So it is possible that she completed high school after moving to the North.
