What the yearbook said

Thelma has been a very conscientious, able student, quiet, unassuming, loved and appreciated by all who know her. But this quietness did not prevent her pathway from being strewn with many a boyish heart because of her big brown eyes and coy smile. What the years have in store for her, whether college or the business world, we cannot say, but we all wish her great success.
