What the yearbook said

Ethel has been one of our most modest young ladies during her four years’ stay here — perhaps because she was busy attending to her own work outside. However, she is a serious thinker, and her poem in “School Life”, “Hints to Freshmen,” held good advice. She is a star member of the famous “Ell Pond Gang” and is a certified life saver of the A. R. C. She is also a member of the Boston Swimming Association and the N. E. A. A. A. U. She hopes to become a secretary. Well, if she does it as well as she kept the Euclidean treasury she’ll be a sure success.
