What the yearbook said

In spite of the fact that “Miggie” has always been quiet, unassuming and reserved, she is a great exponent of outdoor sports, hockey being her favorite, and she has rarely missed a game of this. For four years “Miggie” has been one of the standbys of the orchestra, in which she plays the cornet. If she should choose a musical career, we feel sure she will succeed. “Mig” has not definitely decided what college she will attend, but there is a good chance that she will favor Jackson. We feel certain that the best of success will follow her through college and life.
