What the yearbook said

Euclidean 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Orchestra 2; Traffic Squad 4 Martha, because of her sweet personality and happy disposition, lias become one of our most popular girls. Her beautiful completion and curly blond hair arouse the admiration of the hoys and the envy of the girls.

We wish her the best of luck, and know that whatever she does she will be a credit to M. H. S.
