What the yearbook said

St. Bernard's was most fortunate in securing Rita as a pupil. It took us but a brief space to learn that here was a student who was dependable and trustworthy, one whose quiet culture was not openly displayed but nevertheless was truly characteristic. She was ever attentive to the preparation of class assignments, and bore the fitting reward of Honor Roll distinction. It would be hard to find another like Rita, one who has followed the middle path of gentle restraint and kindly friendliness.
