What the yearbook said

Have you met Miss Jones? During her four years at Meirose High School, “Polly” has brightened the corridors and classrooms with the gay manner, vivacious smile, and the friendly spirit which make her such a grand pal. She enjoys dancing and is interested in dramatics and interior decorating. We have also heard that our “Polly has plenty of “umph!” Smooth sailing at Framingham, pal.
