What the yearbook said

“Larry” “Buddy” “Appetite” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Filing Committee 4; Stamp Club 4 • To meet Larry is to know her. Her friendly spirit and happy disposition make her a pal worth having. This petite, blue-eyed brunette with a mischievous twinkle in her eye loves all sports and is a staunch follower of all M. H. S. teams. Larry’s specialty, however, is telling jokes, with “Little Horace” as our favorite. Her favorite pastimes arc eating angel cake (which hasn’t yet resulted in any wings) and tearing up ditto copies, at which she has become most efficient. Larry has our best wishes, and we know she will succeed in anything she attempts.
