What the yearbook said

Lois’s sunny disposition won many friends during her years at M. H. S. Tennis, skiing, dancing, driving (gang way!), and many an unknown in Melrose High have occupied spare moments. Her ability to act was recently discovered when she took a speaking part (two lines) in the operetta, “Way Out West.” Preparing for a course in “dietetics” at University of Maine, Lois cheerfully spent her vacations taking a course at Jackson. (None of her doings). Feed them good, Buddy.
