What the yearbook said

Ruth’s winning smile and cheerful personality have gladdened the hearts of many a weary wayfarer along the path of M. H. S. She is to be envied for the ease with which she reaps her A’s and B’s, and her remarkable skill in her literary efforts. However, Ruth has not chosen to engage in the latter pursuit. Indeed, her choice of a profession reveals another of her achievements. Ruth wishes to become a linguist, and for this end is continuing her studies in Kentucky. However far away you may be, Ruth, we know you will remember the days in M. H. S., and we shall fondly cherish memories of hours spent there with you.
