What the yearbook said

We are all familiar with “Cal’s” spontaneous blushes which so frequently enhance her feminine pulchritude. A ready worker with a sunny disposition, cheerful, kind, and helpful: we all know her by these traits, the very ones which will aid her in her chosen profession — nursing. And knowing her as we do, we feel success must be hers.
