Alumni Tributes:

"I wouldn't forget my skates if I were you, because you have to skate TWO extra hours for every period you miss."

Anonymous student, January 1937

"All we hope now is that "Swanny" doesn't raise the requirements for an A in skating. We had a hard enough time getting a C!"

Anonymous student, Feb. 1944

"She was an inspiration to most of us because of her dedication to her field and her insistence that we as young girls and women should continue life-long exercise."
