What the yearbook said

Just see how happy this charming maid is with her cheery nicknames. With such befitting names, we find Gladys a kind and loving pal. She has made much progress in school by her excellent compositions in which her use of clever expressions and an extensive vocabulary are noteworthy. Perhaps she will become a famous novelist. Who knows? There is no limit to her musical talent, especially when it comes to the latest jazz hits. Lately she demonstrated her ability as a clever and graceful dancer in the Kappa musical revue. She plans to take a two year course at Chandler school, after which she will make her mark in this great universe.
