Vera Robb, ’32. I t P ays It pays to wear a smiling face And laugh our troubles down, For all our little trials wait Our laughter or our frown. Beneath the magic of a smile Our doubts will fade away, As melts the frost in early spring Beneath a sunny ray. Mildred Heck, ’32 ISjjneteen thirty-one 112] S c h o o l O fficia ls W alter R.
