During the fall term of 1920, Harriett Ellen Norton (nee Wallace) kept a scrapbook while attending the Michigan State Normal College (MSNC). Harriett Wallace, known to most as Ellen, was from Bay City, Michigan and a member of the Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority, Le Cercle Francais club, and History club.
She graduated in June of 1922 and remained in the area after graduation with her husband Stanley Norton whose family owned and operated Norton's Flowers. Stanley Norton, a member of the Arm of Honor fraternity, also attended the MSNC but withdrew to enlist in the military during World War I.
Materials in the scrapbook include invitations to on and off campus events, dance cards, correspondence, clippings, receipts, and photographs. Many of the campus invitations are from the Arm of Honor and Kappa Phi Alpha fraternities.
