What the yearbook said

Wherever there’s a laugh, you’ll find “Maddie”. She’s an ardent movie fan and can answer any question having to do with movies. Her favorite pastime is asking science teachers questions, as two of them have already found out. She plans to enter the “Children’s Hospital” in Boston for which she is now ready prepared. Her pleasing personality assures her of success in whatever she undertakes.
