She is a recent addition to our class, and we realize our good fortune in having acquired her. She is a real prize package. Shall we ever forget the grace exhibited by her lithe form on the gym floor? With mouths agape we looked at her from afar and ad' mired her. What an athlete! we exclaimed, and still admired . We have decided the world could never be a gloomy place with Sylvia in it, for she is the essence of all that is lively and gay. Her dances during morning assembly period made us feel light and exuberant as we know she felt. Many thanks, Sylvia, for lifting our spirits and making us more responsive in our classes that day. 22
