What the yearbook said

Paint Brush! Tempera! Palate! It must be Thelma and it is. Who would ever think this live wire was ever shy and quiet? But she was when she entered M. H. S. intent on becoming an artist. She is nearing her goal with many fine posters to her credit, and she is headed for Massachusetts School of Art where she will continue her studies. Best of luck, Dita.
