From there she moved to Detroit and entered the Fairbanks school, graduating in 1916. Miss Allen then enrolled at Cass, but she was spared many of the humiliations of the ordinary freshie by her previous acquaintance with the building and most of the teachers. During her course she has ceased to be an oddity as one of the few girls here. In fact, the boys have become accustomed to seeing her angelic face shining out of the corner of a classroom. Miss Allen is now going to Northwestern High school for the last lap of her high school education. She is then going to the M. A. C. to take up a course in Home Economics.
