What the yearbook said

Mary’s winning ways and cheerful smile have helped her to make many friends during her two years in Melrose. Her interests are hooks, music, and people and her amusements run to the more refined radio programs such as the genial Fred Allen’s “Town Hall Tonight.” Mary has high hopes of going to college (preferably one with no college board exams). Her ambition is to be able to play her ’cello without having it squeak.
