What the yearbook said

Ruthie has made a name for herself as a field hockey player and a star on the basketball team. We all know that the word “fun” and Ruth are synonymous; for who has more wit and humor to win friends with than this cheery pal? Her chief interest is football. Perhaps, Keene Normal will be her destination; smooth sailing!
