What the yearbook said

“Dot,” who is one of the littlest and liveliest members of our class, is well known in M. H. S. for her ability to talk and laugh. Because of her peppy personality and happy-go-lucky disposition she is very popular with all her classmates. Her favorite pastimes are tennis, dancing and skating. Dot intends to go to work next year and be some lucky person’s typist. We wish her every success. And, oh yes, she’s another blonde that gentlemen prefer.
