What the yearbook said

Cloak and Plume, Masque and Wig, Euclidean Society, Program Committee of Girls’ Club, Prom Committee Someone came from Roosevelt School Someone followed the High School Rule Someone worked and someone played. Someone put sunshine into our day. Someone was thoughtful, kind and true. Someone never knew how to be blue. Someone won hosts of friends through the year — Oh ! may she remember them throughout her career. Someone is going to answer her call, By continuing her painting in Art School next fall. Who is this someone? Who can she be? Why, haven’t you guessed it? It’s our own Margie.
