What the page does not say. Grammar school, clubs or activities and write-up or quotation are missing. The rest of the Melrose High School class of 1942 has them often (grammar school 56%, clubs or activities 52% and write-up or quotation 35%), so the gap may belong to the reading rather than to Dorothea. The scan is the authority.
