Four years ago Betty entered our throng of bewildered freshmen. Those who have made friends with her know that she has a pleasing personality and is loads of fun. Her fine sense of humor makes up one of her strongest points. Betty is planning on entering business next year, and we are sure she will be a big success. Here’s to you, Betty.
