What the yearbook said

Dot entered the portals of Melrose High four years ago from the Gooch School, a rather shy and timid Freshman, to be sure. But to those of us who know her better, she is not so shy and bashful as she appears; in fact, in some class-rooms she is bound to make herself heard. Although she and Walter look very much alike, they are not twins. Dot is undecided as to what she will do in the future, but we can assure you, she won’t take up bookkeeping. Whatever she does, all our best wishes go with her for success.
