What the yearbook said

“Betty,” during her three years with us, has made an enviable record. Since her sophomore year when she came from Buffalo, N. Y., she has been an excellent student, so much so, in fact, that she earned the honor of being our valedictorian. But her attention has not been confined solely to her studies, for she has been a very active worker in the Girl’s Club and has served as president of the Euclidean Society. “Betty” has performed her duties on the “School Life” staff in a most business-like way, and during this last busy part of the senior year she has been the hardest working member of the “Highlights” editorial staff. With her abounding good nature and her wonderful spirit of helpfulness, “Betty” has become one of the best-liked members of ’27. May she carry on the good work at Mount Holyoke next year.
