What the yearbook said

“Shorty” is one of the girls who has certainly had her share of nick-names. Being only four feet eleven inches, she is known as “Peanut”, “Dotty”, “Shorty” and otherwise. “Shorty’s” favorite song is “She Was Just a Sailor’s Sweetheart”. If you would like the reason why, just ask her. “Shorty” is also one of our talented members, being a variety dancer. She hopes some day to become a big dancing star, so in the future when you see “Shorty’s” name before the footlights, don’t forget that she was a member of the class of ’26. All the best wishes of the class go with you, “Shorty”.
