When we stop to consider that May is not even five feet tall, wonder how such a small body possess the unusually large amount of prp, vim, and vigor that we find enclosed in her. on Rebecca Din woodie BECKY” Like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Becky is liked for her cheer I and sunny disposition. Always quiet and well behaved in class, she is nevertheless p ssessed of an unquenchable spirit of adventure. May this spirit brighten all her years!

Trying to make the best of every thing, she seems to enjoy life to the fullest. Although her jovial spirit has acquired many friends, she is not known intimately by the majority of the class. Those of the inner circle surely cherish her friendship. George Falcone RAZZ” Little, but oh my! Who has ever seen a little body with so much pep?
