Vintage photo of my mom-1956/1957

Vintage High School photo of my mom, for her 1956-1957 school year. She graduated in 1960. This November she will be 70 years old, and she looks good for her age.
My little brother found this while going through my grandfathers things after he died. The damage of the photo only adds to mystique of it. She looks a lot like a young Marilyn Monroe I think.
My mom was from Maryland, and met my dad while he was in the Army stationed at Aberdeen Proving grounds. They got married in 1964, and divorced in 1978.....
