ELIZABETH BELL DENNY A lovely smile goes a long way. A mischievous twinkle in her blue eyes, a ready smile, accompanied by a flash of dimples, this is Betty, a carefree, fun-loving lass who joined us during our Sophomore year. One look at Betty and one easily recognizes a typical debutante, a girl talented at dancing, singing, and making friends, as well as a sports fan, a good baseball player, and a swimmer. Betty will be a success in whatever profession she chooses, with her sunny disposition and cheerful willingness to work. Christmas Showg History Circleg Class Book Staff. VICTOR J.
