MARGARET HELENA ROCHE Cumberland Hill Cumberland “There is only one way to be happy and that is to make somebody else so. This is little Miss Sunshine's motto. Everyday Margie comes dancing in from the little towfn of Cumberland, sparkling and bubbling over with joy. She is always ready for fun and yet when work begins, she is absorbed in it, as if nothing else matters. What would “Fancy A booth have done without her zealous efforts during the Annual Sale? What would “Aeneas do without her aid in getting him out of so many of his difficulties? What would we all do without her pleasant smile and greeting every morning? Margie intends to continue her education. We can just imagine the splendid results she will receive from her classes in years to come. Our hearts are with you, Margaret. I i
