in no awe of Amy Gregg and treated her more as he would another boy.
All was not plain sailing for Ruth in either her studies or in the writing
of the scenario for "The Heart of a Schoolgirl." The coming examinations
in all branches would be difficult, and unless she obtained a certain
average in all, Ruth could not expect a diploma.
A diploma from Briarwood Hall was an entrance certificate to the college

his sister well? I received a lovely box of sweets from Thomas after I
