Needles to mention. Ruby is one of our prize basketball stars. Although this is the first year she has come out for it, she certainly has made tip for the lost time.

Behind an alert, sophisticated exterior we find a sweet, lovable interior. She is a “.lack of all Trades” but unlike the proverbial Jack, she does everything well.

There are so many things to say about “Mary Lib.” She’s wanted for everything and has a genuine interest in everyone. Her activities speak for what is left unsaid. She is a lot more than efficient, and her invaluable services will be missed at R. 11. S. She’s full of fun and can always play a role no matter what the stage or audience. I 13 1
