What the yearbook said

From the Washington School came dark-eyed, beguiling little Dotty. As a Freshman she took a part in the Masque and Wig’s Christmas play. When a Junior, she took a leading part in the operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance”. “Such a deep voice for such a little girl,” whispered a spellbound listener. She often sang her “Blue Songs” for Girls’ Club, although Dot was seldom blue. Her happy manner endeared her to all who knew her, and when excited — whoops my dear! Now, she is a self-possessed, bedimpled miss, and although she has no definite plans, we are sure she’ll make good.
