What the yearbook said

Martha, a smiling blond came to us from the Roosevelt School in ’32. Due to her pleasing ways and ready laughter she has formed many friendships. Mr. Scott, our informer, says that although she has many admirers, she admires only one, a little somebody who was famous as an athlete in M. H. S. a few years past. We wish you the best of luck, Martha, and success in all your future undertakings.
