What the yearbook said

Manners serene and radiant smiles introduce us to Margaret. Roosevelt claimed her first, but M. H. S. held the honor in ’32. Appearances may be deceiving but she is really “tres versatile”. Ever ready to co-operate and to be of the greatest service possible. Over and above all her ambition to become a laboratory technician, but — Simmons calls her now. Best of luck, Margaret
