Additional Description

General

Allie May Autry graduated from Rice Institute in 1925. As a freshman, she was elected vice president of her class and led the grand march at the Freshman Dance with President Asbury. Autry enjoyed attending dances, winning the costume prize at the Sophomore Kid dance and leading the grand march at junior prom. She was also a member of the Tattlers Club and the Students Association. Her brother and fellow Rice graduate, James L. Autry, unfortunately died at the age of 24 right before his marriage, and her scrapbook recollects this tragedy.
