What Dorothy did at school
Fellow members from Dorothy's own class:
What the yearbook said
“Dot,” or "Dottie,” as she is sometimes called, is one of the well-known members of our class. She entered M. H. S. four years ago from the Livermore School. “Dot” is a member of the Girls’ Club, the Masque and Wig, and the newly organized Glee Club of which she is secretary. She is not only a good student but she is an accomplished actress and singer, and has taken part in many of the school activities. As yet, “Dot” has not decided what she wishes to do. We wish her all the success possible and we hope that wherever she goes she will not forget her friends at M. H. S. EDITH M. WEST “E” "Edie” Where is the other half? This is often asked of the brown-eyed twin. “Edie” is a happy, good natured girl. Whenever you hear a burst of laughter and a great deal of excited talking, you will almost always find “Edie” with a group of people listening with rapt attention. Edith came to Melrose High School in the fall of 1925 from the Washington School. She has gone through the four years of high school, winning friends wherever she went. When she leaves M. H. S., she hopes to be a typist and she will have success for she certainly can "tickle the keys.” ELLEN E. WEST Ellen is one of those "petites filles” who continually remind us that the most precious gifts come in the smallest packages. How one enjoys watching the sparkle which a good old chemistry problem kindles in her dark eyes. That tell-tale gleam tells us of a remarkably high concentrative mind. There is a certain precision about Ellen, a dominating quality, which demands that she hold her shoulders “en arrive,” and that her steps be ones of firmness. All of which undoubtedly portrays Ellen’s invaluable assets toward the high place in this world which we are sure she will win for herself.
