What the yearbook said
An infectious giggle and a charming personality announced “Newkie” into M. H. S. Since that time, she has been interested in many social activities in High School, and she has made many friends with her easy carefree manner and ready banter. The cruel business world will put forth no obstacles to this energetic lass, who has endeared herself to the class of “38”.
