What the yearbook said

Ruthie came from the good old Washington, entered the commercial course, and has done very well. Sneed is an able pianist especially when it comes to classics. She likes to swim and greatly prefers the summer to winter. Snow gets her down! O, and I mustn’t forget to tell you Ruthie traveled in Sweden at the tender age of five. Now I hope you know what she’s like.
