What the yearbook said

“Shirl” is full of fun and is very seldom on the serious side. Riding is her favorite sport, but this winter we have observed that Track and Cross Country have an un- manage! r) -able appeal to her. We just know this pleasing, dark-haired girl is going places in the near future.
