What the yearbook said

When Mavis appears with her dark brown eyes, black curls, and charming smile, one forgets that “gentlemen prefer blondes”. She entered Melrose High from St. Mary’s and has always taken an interest in school activities. As a student she has been a credit to her class. Mavis is planning to enter B. U. Her ambition is to become a lawyer. Portia had better look to her laurels !
