What the yearbook said

But she was one of the little Freshmen that entered from the Washington School in 1928. Since then she has been busy piling up good marks, especially in history, and also helping others to do so. She is a talented player on the violin, as we have seen when she played in the orchestra. The class of ’33 will miss a valuable assistant in the history library; we doubt that anyone they select can be quite so efficient. Ruth, no doubt, will enter a normal school to increase her knowledge of history, for she intends to become a history teacher. We all wish her luck!
