What the yearbook said

Lincoln S chord By her charming personality and ever-ready smile, Ruth has acquired many friends. We understand she is undecided which to be, a stenographer or a nurse, but with a little bit of coaxing from a certain party, no matter which she picks, I think you will find that she will climb to the top.
