What the yearbook said

“Betty”, ever since the day she entered high, an impish, lovable (ask Howie), green little freshie, has been one of our most popular girls. With her wonderful good humor and sweet personality she has won the distinction of being our most popular girl. Besides her competent work as treasurer of the Girls’ Club, “Bet” has served faithfully on the traffic squad, “School Life” staff, and as manager of the field hockey team. For the past few months she has been very much in evidence driving around in her sporty Whippet roadster. Next year she expects to matriculate to Abbott where she will continue? her studies? Good luck, “Bet”.
