JUNE CAVANAUGH Junie General History Club 4; Legend a Picture Editor 4 ;• Descant Typist 4.

Weez is definitely noted for two characteristics here at W. M.I.—her dignified way of carrying herself and her appetite.

Edy’s talkative nature is an asset in the classroom, however, and she stands well in her study of mathematics. LEGENDA Page Twenty-six 1939
