What the yearbook said

Another reason why blonds are losing their status. Dark brown hair, oodles of freckles, twinkling brown eyes, and the merriest laugh you ever heard — that’s Dot, who in 1928 came from the Washington School to be a Freshman at Melrose High. Her favorite sport is roller skating, and her favorite pastimes — driving around this Spotless Town and “Cramb”-ing in the corridors. Here’s wishing you success, Dot, when after you study at Katherine Gibbs’ you begin to tackle the pot-hooks in earnest.
