  	Class of 1921 Senior Entry: Is this our Bubby? We hardly knew her without that big ribbon bow. This child is not happy unless she spends her spare minutes poring over mythology books. Our future librarian(?) is never at a loss for ideas, especially when it pertains to having fun. Witty and humorous, she keeps the bunch always in an uproar.
