What the yearbook said

Although very conscientious about the daily tasks at school, Claire is by no means quiet. Most of her summer vacation is spent at Cape Cod where she enjoys her favorite sports — swimming and sailing. In the winter months, she is willing and able to give anyone some real competition in the bowling alley. Biology also heads the list of her many interests during the school years.
