The Three Muses - School Days

  
My Mother's school days, mid 1920's, here she is with her three friends and a teacher.  In the background is the actual college they attended which became a university in 1992, I went to the same college.  But I don't think my Mother would have thrown a snowball at her teacher hitting her on the back of her neck, (well she did get a week off sick!!) in front of the entrance shown, I got detention!!
The three photos are my own, the college was Googled, Finecrafted Designs supplied the seat and thanks to SHC and Pixel Dust for the textures.
