What the yearbook said

Having lived in “The Spotless City” all her life, “Floss” is acquainted with practically everybody in town. “Floss” may look demure, but just get her out on the field of sport, or among her fellow classmates and watch her speed. Not being satisfied with capturing an “M” in field hockey, she waded through the many basketball candidates and made the position of guard on the varsity. Although she is a stellar player in all sports, “Floss” excels in tennis. Scarcely a day passes in the summer when she is not on the court serving aces to bewildered opponents. “Flossie” is very popular among her classmates and is without doubt one of the most attractive members of the graduating class.
