BEITLAH BRUMBACK This young lady is especially noted for her ability to take anything, including ser- mons. in shorthand. 'Tis hard to imagine the Senior girls wardrobe without Beulah and her daily remark: Just look at this awful hair. I can't do a thing with it. I'm a calm quiet girl with expression composed.
