What the yearbook said

Ellie aspires to fly. Now don’t mistake me — she has no suppressed desire to become an aviatrix. She is, rather, very patriotic, and, being so, would become an offspring of our national bird. But, unfortunately, that exalted order requires something besides feathers, and Ellie does not like to sew. She prefers a hockey stick to a needle, and perhaps rightly so. We know what she can do with a hockey stick! Some day when all this trivial business of needles and hockey sticks, secretary’s reports and supper committees — and even feathers, is over, she will be a great landscape gardener. We assure you we’d trust her with our scenery.
