What the yearbook said

Four years ago “Val” came to M. LI. S. from the Roosevelt School. Through her ability to act she achieved a part in the chorus of "The Mikado.” During her second year, she took a leading part in "The Goose Hangs High” which marked her success as an actress. She has been a true member of the Girls’ Club, French Club and the Masque and Wig Society and has helped in the activities of these clubs in many ways. Due to her interest in clothes, “Val” hopes to attend Pratt Institute, a school for designing. We wish you the best of luck, Mile. Wilson. w<r (F> " \ i A r;\A> 1A
