What the yearbook said

When “Dot” entered the Melrose High School with the class of 1926, her nickname was very appropriate, for you had to look twice before you could find her; but now she equals the size of any of her classmates. Her friends will always remember her as “the girl with the contagious laugh and cheery smile”. She has a cheerful disposition and is full of fun, a hard worker, but not a grind. Never that! We wish you all kinds of good luck, “Dot”, and hope you will carry your honors through Holyoke, when you enter in September, as you have in Melrose High.
