What the yearbook said

Boo Bishop is five feet, seven inches tall, an attractive, brown-haired, hazel-eyed girl, who came from the Lincoln School in 1928 and entered Melrose High as a member of the Freshman class. She has one fault, if we may call it a fault— she laughs too much. Anywhere and any time, a quirk, a giggle, then a full-fledged laugh, and you know Boo is near. After returning next yea- as a P. G., Boo plans to enter Forsythe Dental School, and later to be a dentist’s assistant — lucky dentist.
