GARGDYLEIEIEE L RUTI-I I-IALEY Two Years Advanced Course Athletic Association Dramatic Club Choir Reserve Captain of Bowling Team Study I-lall Committee Senior Play ' But tragedy is not for meg fm content to be gay. UTI-TS humorous ways and cleverness have gained for her the place of one of the most amusing girls in school. She is never sarcastic and she can always make us laugh by her little unconscious remarks. She is often a valuable member of the cast in the Living Room Plays or in take-offs in the gymnasium. We never dispute the fact that she is a born entertainer. There is a serious side to Ruth's nature, for she is sincere and staunch. In the two years she has been here she has won for herself a warm place in the hearts of all who know her. Ruth is one of those advanced Seniors who is lucky enough to take Domestic Science. Often she comes to a - V meal with some product of her cooking. And again she appears in a new dress which we learn she has made herself. With that keen sense of humor we know that Ruth can make nothing but a success of life. 28
