What the yearbook said

Lois entered M. H. S. in 1925 a very quiet, demure girl. Four years have passed since then and she is now very grown up and far from quiet. Lois intends to take an evening course at Fishers’ Business College. Then she plans to spend a great deal of her time preparing herself to be a librarian in a large public library. We certainly wish her luck but we hope that when she attains a high position in her career, she will not forget that there is a little town by the name of Melrose and that she has friends there.
