What the yearbook said

Quig needs no introduction to the members of M. H. S. After romping around the Washington School yard, she was chased off to High School, where she has won many friends with her ready humor and pleasing personality. Her manipulation of the cardboard behind the candy counter has awed many innocent underclassmen. Although she hasn’t participated in any athletics, her interest from the bleacher point of view is never dying. Quig has done faithful work as Vice President of Girls’ Club and Class Secretary. To her success we lift our glasses in unison, and may the spilling, bursting bubbles bring good luck along her way.
