What the yearbook said

Throughout her years at M. H. S., Tiny’s abilities, both intellectual and social, have been partially hidden by her shyness and modesty. Few people know she is President of Junior Beethoven Society or even that she is a flute-player; but among those who know her, Tiny is well-liked and loyally supported. This loyalty is more than merited, and, wherever she goes, Tiny will surely be a credit to M. H. S. at Simmons without the use of luck.
