Voter Registration 1937

Mom and Dad registered to vote in Detroit, MI, 1937.  The municipal elections there had the biggest turnout in their history that year.  My guess is that, as usual, Mom and Dad’s votes cancelled each other.  The following year, FDR was elected President for a second term.  Can you tell I’ve been sorting more family ephemera lately?  Hope to continue and someday finish.

I.D. Cards

These are two of my father’s i.d. cards.  One is his student activity card for Wayne (Nebraska) State Teachers College.  It surprises me that it would cost $3.25 for one semester in 1933.  Seems pricey.
