It seems that Karen came to Lafayette in 1954 when she was just 15. A child bride, she was already married to Charles W. Black, a Purdue University mathematics student, when she arrived. She immediately enrolled in Jefferson High School. The school's music director Richard Jeager has called her "kind of odd-ball." "She was ahead of her time in a lot of things," he said. "She was the first to wear long black stockings." Because she was married, Karen stood out in a high school class, especially one in the 1950s. Her fellow students remember her as "very arty," "a loner" and "offbeat." "She was a very intelligent girl," one of her peers said. "She seemed more grown up. Some of the girls looked up to her like a mother." And, even in those days Karen Black told her classmates she was going to become a famous actress. Karen's picture appeared in the school yearbook "Nautilus" in 1955 and 1956. She was in the high school's revue and was involved in speech and dramatics. "She was very expressive, very expressive," her speech teacher Bill Fraser recalled. "You could almost tell the gal had something. She had a goal in mind." Karen withdrew from Jefferson June 7, 1956. Although she didn't have enough credits to graduate, the school did send her transcripts to both Purdue and Northwestern Universities. The next year she enrolled at Purdue as Karen Z. Black, did some work with Purdue's television unit, modeled for money in one of the drawing classes, was a member of WBAA radio's drama guild and appeared in two plays "Riders to the Sea" and "Ten Nights in a Barroom." One of her professors remembered her today as a "clumsy" actress. After one year at Purdue, Karen left Lafayette and her husband. Her old friends agree he just wasn't "her type." All she apparently retained from the marriage and her stint here was the name Black.
