What the yearbook said

Dot, the girl with the sunny disposition and pleasant smile, came to us from the Gooch School. She is well liked by the many people who have met her through her outside activities. Ever since her Sophomore year, Dot seems to have favored Saugus High. She has been an active participant in sports and has also been kept quite busy supporting the teams of both Melrose and Saugus High. (We wonder what Dot would have done if Melrose had ever competed with Saugus in football.) She expects to go to Katherine Gibbs’ next year.
