What the yearbook said

Yes, this person upon whose countenance you gaze is “Ginney”! For four years, now, her ready laughter and sunny disposition have pervaded this honorable “Brick Pile”. A great part of “Ginney’s” interests are centered upon art. Who has not seen her busily decorating a pad of paper in some classroom period? Next year will see her training for her chosen career at the Museum School of Art. Go to it “Ginney”! Happy landing!
