What the yearbook said

Allow us to present 5 feet 3 inches of sunshine, one who has a cheerful smile and a hearty greeting for everyone. During this past season “Dot” led the cheering section, and she certainly was full of action from start to finish. She is also the official class giggler. Whether a thing is really funny or not, you can be perfectly sure that she, at least, can see something humorous in it to laugh about. “Dot” is very fond of dancing. All in all, she is a girl well worth knowing, or as Jacques Renard puts it, “For you know a friend in need is a true friend indeed. Just call on me.” And you may be sure she will help you out.
