What the yearbook said

This lithesome lass tripped through the portals of our High School during its second year of existence. For four years her ready smile has won her many friends and will continue to do so for many more to come. For her, the future means a more thorough secretarial training and then a few years of being the boss’s “private”. Whatever she plans after that, we wish “Smitty” every success!
