What the yearbook said

Virginia is one of those people to whom one can properly apply the well-known proverb, “Still waters run deep”. Although to some she may seem a little quiet, to those who know her well, she seems quite different. This winter, especially, she has enjoyed outdoor sports and has spent much time skiing at Mount Hood. After leaving M. H. S., she expects to attend Simmons, where she will take a course in buying. Good luck, Virginia !
