What the yearbook said

Betty came to us in her freshman year from the wilds of New Hampshire. Entering into the spirit of Melrose High, she achieved the position of Chief worrier as president of Masque and Wig. Spurred on by the lack of hospital facilities in Plymouth, where she lived, Betty resolved to become an Angel of Mercy when "she was big." Make it a point to have your injuries taken care of by Nurse Rowe at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital.
