What the yearbook said

Madelvn, a good friend to all of us, is a graduate of good old Roosevelt School, Class of 1925. She has gone through four long hard years in high school, and, being a studious girl, she has come out on top. Madelyn is a lover of pleasure. During her high school career, she has also been very fond of dancing. After she graduates, she plans to go to Simmons, and we all certainly wish her the very best of luck.
