What the yearbook said

“Betty” is not what one might call a flapper, and we love her all the more for this reason. Her quiet, unassuming ways have won her a place in many hearts. She is one of our best students and seems to get her lessons without any trouble. “Betty” is an active member in many of the school clubs. Besides playing both the violin and piano very well, she writes poetry. Betty wants to be a dietician, so she is going to take up Home Economics at Simmons next year. This certainly will prepare her for what she is most likely to do in the future.
