What the yearbook said

Peg’s a girl who’s always a good sport and lots of fun. She’s always on hand when there’s excitement brewing, and her vibrant sense of humor has pulled her out of many a tight squeeze. She is extremely versatile, enjoying writing and photography equally well. Her main interest, however, is drawing, and as one of the school’s prize art students, she plans to enter Vesper George Art School in the fall.
