What the yearbook said

"Hel” came to Melrose from Portland, Maine, two years ago. She is one of the jolly members of the class and has made many friends. Her witty sayings and clever antics have been of great amusement for others; and where real laughter is present one may feel almost sure that "Hel” is near. She is tall and slim in stature and fair in complexion.
