Where is Edna? you may be sure it is Pussie II . In spite of the fact that she often loses her twin. Eleanor is a shining light of the class. When the rest of us could not get our Algebra. Pussie II was sitting at the head of the class. We hope that Eleanor will not have much trouble in finding Edna in the halls at George School.

IV: Honor Charm. Ill: Mixed Chorus. IV. Why do only three and four appear after those activities? It is because Mary came to us last year, and we are truly sorry we couldn’t have her all four years. Mary’s honor charm pin shows that she stands well up in her class. However, that isn't all. She is one of our few altos and artists. Mary expects to attend the University of Syracuse next year with the idea of becoming a librarian. May success and happiness accompany you. Mary.
