What the yearbook said

Her round, jolly face and twinkling eves tell you she is a fine pal, and hei cooking proves that she is destined to become a good wife and home-maker for some lucky fellow. She “dotes” on eating and “emotes” on movies. Etta has maintained a good scholarship, and she is one of the best pais a girl could have.
