What the yearbook said

Four years ago Ruth entered our midst, like the rest of us, a meek, little freshman. In those four short years she has made a host of friends with her winning personality. The rest of us may be discouraged, but Ruth is right there with a smile and a word of encouragement. Ruth has received many high honors in the Girl Scouts, and has the distinction of being one of the best Golden Eaglets in Melrose! Ruth plans to enter the Leslie School in the fall and to prove her ability as a dietitian. Best wishes, Ruth.
