What the yearbook said

Tennis is her one love — first, last, and always, but she also is an ardent devotee of all outdoor sports. With her good sportsmanship and winning personality, it is little wonder that she is the kind of friend whom one values most, and whom one wishes to keep always. “Marge” keeps her reputation and ideals sky-high. Next year, it is Wellesley for her.
