What the yearbook said

Ruthie came to us from North Quincy in the fall of ’34 and what Quincy lost, we gained, for she is a friendly, cheerful companion. “Sul’s” sporting interests lie in skiing (after dark) and horse back riding. She hopes to enter Colby Junior College next fall where we are sure she will gain many new friends as well as retain the old. The best of luck and happiness, Ruth!
