EMILY SMITH General Indian “Exceedingly quiet; but most conscientious.’’ Selling Contest II, III; History Club III, IV7; Honor Roll Pin II. Emily came to us from Malvern in her Sophomore year.

She is always thinking, and she always has a question to ask just try to answer some of them. “ Flicker” has gained many friends during her stay here. She is undecided as to the future, but we are sure she will succeed. Good luck, “Flicker.” 22
