What the yearbook said

Carolyn entered M. H. S. in 1922 as a member of the class of 1926. In the middle of her junior year a great catastrophe occurred, for “Cal” was taken seriously ill with pneumonia which caused her to miss several weeks of school, the final result being that she was obliged to repeat her junior year. But “Cal” was magnificently rewarded for this misfortune by returning to school the next term with her head covered with a mass of curls, which were the cause of many envious looks. Although “Cal” is one of the smallest in the class of 1927, she also ranks as one of the prettiest.
