What the yearbook said

In the fall of 1925 Shirley entered good old M. H. S. from the Washington School. She is one of our quiet girls but is a good all around sport. She is very much interested in dancing, and how she can dance ! Shirley likes her studies, especially history. She expects to go to Boston University to study to be a linguist, and we surely wish her the best of luck in carrying out ber plans.
