Excerpt from The Smith College Monthly, Vol. 30: November, 1921
At the age of twelve, I centered seven per cent of my interest on those things concerning girls, ninety-three per cent on those concern ing boys. For dolls, I had not the slightest regard - for playing such games as Lady Come to See I had only sneers - but at climbing trees I was adept. I was the only girl on our baseball team - I could out-run any of our gang as we called ourselves - None of the budding femininity of which the poets write could be discerned in me. I was happiest when dressed in bloomers and a khaki middy blouse, heavy elkskin shoes and no hat.
