Ethel is another of the Rooseveltians who came to the High School in 1928. She has taken active part on the field hockey and baseball teams. Ethel can play the trumpet, and has been very generous with her services. She has played in the school band. She also took part in the operetta. Ethel plans to attend the Emerson College of Oratory. When she graduates, she hopes to be a public entertainer. I wish I had the space to tell you more about Ethel’s ambition, but as I have not, I will just express our thoughts and say, “Good luck, Ethel!”
