What the yearbook said

Virginia entered M. H. S. in 1928 from the Washington School, a very quiet and demure little girl. However, years have elapsed since then and we find that Jinny has grown familiar with the ways of a dignified Senior. Although she has been quite busy with social activities outside school, she has never been without time to attend to her school duties. Jinny has intentions of going to ('handler’s Business School next year, and the class of 1932 wishes her the best of luck.
