What the yearbook said
In 1928 a demure, timid, blue-eyed beauty entered Melrose High. Nevertheless, that pleasing personality she possesses has won her many friends. When she was a freshman her singing ability easily won her a place in “Riding Down the Sky”, of which Gordon Van Buskirk had the lead! Next she appeared in the “Count and the Co-Ed.” That same year she became secretary of the Glee Club. By her fourth year, Betty, well-known for her blushing, was addressed by several with the words “Hello, Beautiful.” Although not a connoisseur of style, of late her tastes are going “Taylored”. This charming miss heads for Katherine Gibbs’ next year.
