What the yearbook said

During these four years with us Ruby has become known chiefly as an artist. She can draw successfully anything from a cartoon to a big poster. In her freshman year this talent helped her in the fine work she did on the Zoning Map of Melrose. Congratulations to you, Ruby, for the accuracy and neatness of this fine piece of work. Then, too, Ruby has a winning smile that flashes out to brighten even the darkest day. With such an asset and with her remarkable ability to dance, she can “trip the light fantastic” to any place where her fancy may lead.
