What the yearbook said

Helen has been just about the busiest girl in the class for four whole years. Perhaps it is because of her outstanding dependability that she has been a leader in every activity attempted. With so much to do we wonder how Helen can keep her good nature, but that, however, is one of her chief characteristics. Fair Helen is ambitious too. She is planning to enter the Children’s Hospital.
