What the yearbook said

The girl with the twinkle in her eye and the understanding smile — that is Nancy Hanson. She is always on the go, either playing a fast game of tennis, dancing, or knitting for the Red Cross. Equal to any task is Nancy, especially selling tickets, and if you ever want to hear a news report from a good commentator, go to her. Undoubtedly Nancy will reach great heights some day, because she has been living on them for seventeen years.
