What the yearbook said

Inasmuch as “Fran” entered M. H. S. in her senior year, she has had little time to enter any school activities. Her personality, however, has done very well by her. She has made numerous friends with her winning ways. Any day her cute little giggle may be heard as she strolls along the fourth floor corridor with her pal “Dot Gibbons.” “Fran” likes sports. When asked what sports she prefers, the reply is, “oh, I love 'em all.” She hopes to be a companion-secretary. Good luck, Fran!
