What the yearbook said

“Joe” is one of those heroines of girls’ athletics who appear now and then. There isn’t much in the line that she can’t do. When one is standing on the side-lines, he may well be glad that he is out of the strong swing of her hockey stick, which always sends the ball to the other end of the field. Did you ever see her miss one? We were all quite surprised when “Joe” had her hair cut in her sophomore year, but we would all do it if we had her attractive wave. She is planning to enter B. S. P. E. next fall to take up Physical Education. We wish you success and happiness, “Joe”, in your future work.
