Glenda McElvania grew up in Sheridan township and graduated from Grinnell High School in 1931. Her high school graduation book, titled The Girl Graduate: Her Own Book, is part diary and part scrapbook. The book contains Glenda’s journal entries about various teachers, mementos from graduation events, programs for school plays, and graduation invitations and cards.
The Girl Graduate is notable for a photograph of the Campfire Girls featuring the first black alumna of Grinnell College, Edith Renfrow Smith ’37, and Laetitia Conard, Professor of Sociology at Grinnell College, Grinnell. Also included in the collection is Glenda's 1930 high school yearbook.
