What the yearbook said

Entering Meirose High the last quarter of her junior year, Evelyn wasted no time getting started. At once she impressed us with her keen mind. She loves to sail, but unless you don't mind getting wet, don’t accept her invitation. Next year she is going to Bryant and Stratton. Later, she hopes to earn a degree at B. U. night school.
