Girls Senior Banquet and Alumni Banquet - June 1919 - pages 157, 163 and 164
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.
I'm going a little out of order with this post. There are several pages with photos from graduation weekend in 1919. Three of photos on the pages seem to be professional photos rather than snapshots my grandmother tended to have in her album.

A banquet was held on the evening of June 20, 1919 to celebrate the Semi-Centennial of Cornell University.

Built in 1875, Sage Hall was the first dormitory for women at Cornell University. It is likely Evelyn Clara Call lived in Sage Hall while attending Cornell.
