What the yearbook said

Ruthie entered high school from Roosevelt and started the college course. She can be found in 404 early every morning, trying to catch up on the home work that she didn’t do the night before because she went to the movies. She loves to dance, except, of course, when (but she told me not to tell), and she’s a wonderful dancer, too. Ruthie hopes to take up journalism. Best of luck, Ruthie!
