What the yearbook said
Since Marge appeared at M. H. S. bright and early on Sept. 9, 1928, she has passed through the shingle, long bob, Greta Garbo, and rolled coiffure stages of development. During the long bob stage Marge studied hard and was quite a student, but when the roll came into use studies were abandoned for more important and Tuft-er problems. While we feel that she is not being quite frank with us, Marge says that “Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries”, so why make it sour with too much school work. Will a new style hairdress be necessitated by Marge’s entering Katherine Gibbs’ next fall? We wonder.
