What the yearbook said

Little Gertie came to M. H. S. in ’32 from the Lincoln School. Because of her good humor and other likable qualities, she has gained a host of friends. Gertie’s weakness is playing the piano. Just name the latest song hit, and you’ll soon find out. As yet, Gertie’s plans for the future are indefinite, but we are sure that she will be a success in whatever she undertakes.
