What the yearbook said

In 1928, with the swarm of Freshmen that entered M. H. S., came Ella Johnson, a rather shy little girl at first, but not for long. Skippy has participated brilliantly through her four years in field hockey, baseball, and basketball. She surely is a wonder in athletics. Since her entrance from the Washington School, Ella has made many dear and lasting friends. Ella has intentions of going to normal school next year, but whatever she does we hope she will never forget her friends in M. H. S. LAWRENCE E. JOHNSON, JR “Lawry” Lawrence E. Johnson, Jr., known to his classmates as Lawry, entered M. H. S. with the class of 1928 from the Washington School. Lawry’s chief interests seem to be travel, art, and music. He has been active in the Glee Club, and was president of the Art League this year. For the last three years, he has not been with us through the winter months, as he goes to school in the South. He plans to attend Rollins College. Best of luck, Lawry. !
