   I'm very lucky to have several of my grandmother Evelyn Clara Call's (1895-1962) photo albums. And perhaps even luckier that she labeled many of the photos - so I know roughly when and where they were taken, and who was in the photos.  My grandmother attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1915-1916, and then Cornell University in Ithaca, New York from 1916-1919.  Starting on page 115, there are 19 pages of photos from the summer of 1918 taken at Silver Bay, likely where Evelyn was a staff member at the YMCA Center at Silver Bay Page 127  Helen Douglas On Black Mt Evelyn Clara Call The Two Ebersoles Marguerite Jordan Marguerite Page 128 Alta Sahler Alta Sahler - possibly Alta Sahler (1895-1979) daughter of George C Sahler and Sophie Mae Shantz.
