What the yearbook said

Big brown eyes, reddish hair, snappy clothes, and the inability to pronounce her “r’s” have given Dinny Lynde an individual personality. During her four years at M. H. S., she has been very active in school athletics. Dinny has been studying more diligently of late, preparing for entrance to Radcliffe. Have fun, Din.
