What the yearbook said
“Gene” is one of the happy-go-lucky members whom the class of 1926 couldn’t do without. She is popular with the members of the opposite sex and is usually the center of an admiring group. If there is ever any trouble brewing, just ask “Gene” about it; she is usually at the bottom of it all. “Gene” could well be called the class debater. If there is a stray end left to argue over, “Gene” is sure to find it. She will almost try to tell you that black is white if you give her a chance. “Gene’s” favorite pastime is bookkeeping. Can’t you imagine her ten years from now bending over her ledger trying to find one cent. Here’s wishing you the best of luck, Regina.
