What the yearbook said

From the D. W. Gooch School to the “old brick pile” in 1928 came bashful and friendly Betty. Because of her sincerity, and the friendly smile with which she greets her intimates, she is never lacking friends. Although Betty herself did not take an active part in school activities, she has always participated by attending the various events. Next fall, Betty is anticipating the pleasure of entering Burdett College. We all feel sure, Bet, that with your pleasing smile and your eager, helping hands you will soon reach your desired goal.
