What the yearbook said

It was just four years ago that a shy and demure little girl named “Elbe” set foot- upon the cultural soil of M. H. S. Shi' has traveled up and down the dingy stairways and wandered about the dismal corridors seeking the golden knowledge hidden within the gloomy walls. El’s a very musical lass and practices faithfully. She has shown excellent leadership as president of the Poetry Club. El intends to go to Simmons to take up Domestic Science. As an excellent cook and a splendid sewer, her ambition will lead her to success. Eyes — blue, hair — blond — “She’s just a blue-eyed blond.”
