Indian Girl Joins W.A.A.C.’s
Miss Tony Elizabeth Crow, left, a former Morningside College student here, is shown as she was being finger-printed by Private Steven Janicki at an induction station in Chicago, where she became the first women of her race to join the W.A.A.C.’s. Miss Crow, who is 21, was born on the Crow Creek, South Dakota reservation. She went to Chicago from Washington as a junior clerk typist on the staff of the office of Indian affairs of the department of the interior. She attended Morningside College before entering the civil service at Washington. Miss Crow says she hopes to do office work for the W.A.A.C.’s.
