What the yearbook said

Everett. Few of us know Ruth, since she came through our illustrious doors from Everett only last November. However, to give a thumbnail sketch, she is small, dark, has photography, collecting souvenirs, and dancing for hobbies, and aspires to be a lawyer's secretary after a two-year course in law at Boston University — a laudable ambition in any language. Success can hardly fail to reward such an original and worthy aspiration.
