What the yearbook said

A winning smile and cheerful disposition are “Brooksie’s” chief assets. She has many interests, among them boxing. Rather unusual for a girl, we'd say! After graduation, she plans to enter the business world which, we are sure, will hold no serious obstacles for this energetic miss!
