What the yearbook said

Dot, our smallest female graduate, likes such sports as hockey and football. Her pleasing smile and hearty giggle is a warning of her nearness. Having made many friends, she hopes that they will remember her in the future as she is planning to attend Wilfred Academy and some day to manage her own Beauty Salon.
