What Norma did at school

Chorus (i, 2)

What the yearbook said

Hear Ye ! Hear Ye ! Hear Ye ! That curly-headed blonde with that irresistible smile is here again. Norma Jean! Although a quiet girl in school (could she be dreaming?), Norma has plenty of “Umph” and a host of friends. Although she has many interests, dancing seems to be tops. Her high rating in the Secretarial Course assures us she will be a success.
