What the yearbook said
Attention folks, for we now come upon one of the jolliest girls of the school ! Dot, a dark-haired, brown-eyed girl with a sunny disposition and winning ways, likes bowling, riding, and swimming. Her other pastimes are movies, playing the piano, and listening to the radio. Occasionally in her Biology class you may even hear her giggle. After graduation Dot is entering Katherine Gibbs.
