Mary's original ideas were already blossoming forth, so that Mrs. Jeffery found it necessary to send her to school to 1926. Mary was so clever that she soon bid farewell to Central School and entered Paris High School, but when she graduated in 1937, she was so averse to giving up her studies that she decided to take an honour course in English at Queens. which she will be doing next year. Mary capably fulfilled the offices of secretary of the Athletic Society, Athletic form representative, prophetess, and other offices. Everybody wished they could again have the pleasure of electing her. Mary loves arguments and the wide open spaces. She is widely known as the outdoor girl, since, missing scarcely a day, she traverses the hills and dales not far from the vicinity of Paris. It has been said that she resembles Garbo, the only exception being that she isn't the silent type. At present she is very industriously taking three subjects at school, and the first year Latin of University. Next year, she will continue her studies at Queens.
