What the yearbook said

In 1928 a young lady, but recently graduated from the Roosevelt School, stepped timidly into the corridors of M. H. S. We soon learned that her name was Ruthie. She has outgrown her timidity, and now as a member of the traffic squad directs other little Freshmen on their way. Although not especially active in outside activities, Ruth has won a place for herself among those who have been privileged to know her intimately, because of her even disposition and friendly smile. She has no definite plans for next year, but the class of 1932 wishes you luck and success in whatever you undertake, Ruthie.
