What the yearbook said

Who could believe such clever ideas emanated from so “petite” a personality? Yes, that’s Jo! We have all perceived them in her snappy, poetic Exchange editorials, in her original Girls’ Club reports, in her stories, her cartoons, and, especially, in her hobby, marionettes. Whether Jo continues her study of botany or not — she is quite an authority on flowers — we know she wall succeed, in spite of her stature, because of her variety of talents and her popularity.
