What the yearbook said

Mary came to M. H. S. from Washington School in the fall of ’28. During her four years here, she has made a great many friends. Although Mary is not athletic, she has one favorite sport for which she is widely known; that is, dancing. Mary is a be-guiling young miss who is always up to something. She is planning to go to Katherine Gibbs’ Secretarial School in the fall, where we know she will make good. The class of ’32 wishes you lots of luck, Mary.
