What the yearbook said

Mary came to us from Philadelphia. Her musical laugh and originality has endeared her to us ail. She is shy, demure, and businesslike while within the portals of M.H.S., but outside we see another personality. Her love of fun and excitement makes her a perfect friend and companion. “Marie Petite” is headed for Forsythe Dental School.
