What the yearbook said

Although Mary has not participated in many sports, she has certainly been a loyal supporter of them. Mary spends most of her outside time bicycling and enjoying other outside activities. One never sees Mary with a sober look on her face, as she is one of those happy-go-lucky girls with a cheerful smile. She plans to enter business as soon as she graduates and takes a business course at Burdett's Evening School.
