By Crawford Babb
A few years ago Sweetwater sent as her representative to
our May Fete a certain diminutive miss. She made a big hit
and many admiring glances were cat her way.
During her college career the same story has beet re-
peated. Her grace and charm find their targets and thus
we find her with many friends. These two traits together
with a winning smile and a pleasing laugh help to make up
the unique senior known as Kuby Pollard. -
s a result of her popularity. Ruby has taken part in
man) school activities. She was senior representative to
the Student Association a member of the T. I. I'. secretary
to the Scribblers Club a Thespian during "30 and 31 Wan
Wahtaysee flag bearer an Ero mid a member of the Me-
Murr) Trio.
We all regret that Ruby will not be able to finish her
senior year this near to graduation and hope that it will be
possible for her to return in a short time. Whether she
does or not there still remains friendship and pleasant mem-
ories and these are everlasting.
