What the yearbook said
Mary’s simple frankness of speech and girlish freshness of dress are known to us all. Her chief interest is music, followed up by drawing. She can pound out on the piano her own swing version of almost any popular tune, and draw a striking fashion plate as well. She gets good marks in Virgil. Next fall will find her at Vassar.
