What the yearbook said

“Eth” has made many friends by her cheerful smile and liveliness in class. Although she hasn’t taken much interest in athletics and other activities she has been a member of the Girls’ Club. Much of her time has been taken up by her work after school. “Eth” hopes to be a telephone operator and we all wish her a happy future in whatever line she pursues.
