Grandparents on High School Dance Committee


An article in the November 30, 1911 Saginaw News (Saginaw, Michigan) indicates the Junior Class at Saginaw High School was hosting the annual "junior hop" at the Masonic temple, December 22. Gram, Mildred Brown,* was on the decorations committee. Poppie, Harry Floyd, was on the music committee. 

I wonder if they were high school friends or high school sweethearts? They graduated in 1913 and didn't marry until 1922 so they might not have even been friends in high school. I don't recall Mom ever talking about this.
