What the yearbook said

When Tolly first entered M. H. S. from St. Mary’s School, she was a quiet little lass, but once she got her bearings she soon showed us how deceiving first appearances can be. Tolly has been a good student and has always done her bit toward cheering our teams on to victory. She has made many friends here and we know she will make many more at Burdett’s Business College, where she plans to go next year.
