1931 Bethany Daisy: The Senior Class pt. 2 (pg. 32-33)

This is part two of the senior class photos and part four of my ongoing series of pictures and transcriptions of the 1931 Bethany Daisy  that belonged to my great grandma Frances Elsie Caroline Gustafson. Frances got notes from a significant portion of the students. Many students chose not to write their letters by their senior photograph, but instead by a photograph of them doing an activity they like, or they chose to use an entire blank sheet of paper for their note, so its entirely possible people who don't have notes showing yet will have them later on in the book.

Note from Hazel M. Varnloff:
Dear Francis; Does your conscience hurt you from being so cruel to
innocent animals in Lab. Remember Horse Thief Canyon and the fossils.
 You’ll be occupying this section next year and I wish you
much success and enjoyment. It is pleasant to look back on
the days at Bethany and I’m happy for the friendships formed.
I wish you good luck in anything you partake.
