Play Days Over

Ann “Bobby” Woods had a swell time this summer even though she spent a lot of her vacation taking care of her three younger sisters. Swimming was her favorite pastime and hiking and bicycle riding also used up a lot of her summer time. She is entering the eighth grade of the Highland Grammar School. “Bobby” lives at 5 Fairfield Ave.
