What the yearbook said

Not only has Dotty taken part in the musical organizations of the school, but she has also proved her interest in sports by making the Class Eield Hockey and Basketball teams. All Girls’ Club members know that Dotty has an itching palm — but then, being treasurer, it’s just as well. Of course studies should come in here somewhere, but — well, let’s skip them and say, “Here’s to you, Dotty!”
