What the yearbook said

This versatile young miss has blonde, curly hair and brown eyes, and a habit of day-dreaming. So, if you saw her day-dreaming often in school, you know now it is because her biggest interest is outside of school. Eddie plans to enter the Melrose Hospital to train for a nurse, and we all know that she will succeed in her chosen profession.
