Ruth is willing to try anything once and there are few experiences she hasn't gone through. She is of a fickle nature and has a different partner at every dance. Ruth is a good looking las- sie and has caused more than one heart to throb among her classmates. They go wild, simply wild, over ..Rae.. An awful little lady with an aw- ful big mind. Rachael was our rep- resentative at the State Discussion Contest. She can well be proud of her showing there. Her special- ties are reading and acting, and she does such things you would never think such a tiny girl capable of.
