What the yearbook said

“Lolly” Girls' Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; “Count and the Coed ” 4; “Riding Down the Sky ” 3 “Lolly” entered M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School in 1926, and has made many friends by her cheerful smile and liveliness in class. Even though many of her classmates have to look up to her, she does not “high hat” them. Never mind, “Lolly,” there are advantages in being tall. We wish you a happy future in whatever line you pursue.
