What the yearbook said

Have you seen a cute little blond with the most mischievous eye-brows in Melrose, and a nose “tip-tilted like a petal of a flower”? Well, that’s Jeanie! She came to us from Roosevelt and took high school right in her stride, becoming prominent in many activities. Wherever Spud is, she is always on her way somewhere else. A very frank little personality is Jean, and, being a Harvard fan, she intends to broaden her mind at Radcliffe next year. Bonne chance, Petite!
