What the yearbook said

Not everyone can score A’s and B’s as fast as “Rufus” can, or sympathize with some less fortunate pal over life in general and still as successfully join in any activity with as much interest. Ruth can do all this and more; she is a good student, loyal friend, and jolly good playfellow. No matter where she is, or what she does — whether on the stage in the role of a charming and vivacious heroine, or officiating in an Euclidean meeting — we find her a valuable participant in the M. H. S. activities. We sincerely hope and feel that she will be a success in her future work, whatever it may be.
