What the yearbook said

Quiet, conscientious, but full of fun, and on the honor roll for four years, Betty has yet found time to star on the tennis team and faithfully support the hockey team. During the summer there is scarcely a day goes by when she is not at the tennis courts. She is a "whiz" at French, which is her favorite subject. The next four years will see Bet commuting from Melrose to Simmons.
