What the yearbook said

If you see someone looking at you in a vague sort of way, don't worry. It's only Brucie getting inspiration for her next poem. Besides being our poetess, she is oodles of fun and tops with the gang! She has just one problem — whether to be "poetess laureate" or just a laboratory technician. Let's hope her next years at Massachusetts State will help her decide.
