LESTER YEAGER I threw a ball into the air. —I made a basket! — Adapted from Longfellow An alumna of our high school, Miss Dotter has had little trouble in taking her place as girls’ coach and health instructress, and winning the hearts of the girls whom she teaches. A year has not been long enough to reveal to us many of her personal traits, but we have learned that outside of school she finds a great deal of pleasure in knitting, listening to good musical programs, and by her own confession, “doodling” on the piano. She also enjoys dancing and all kinds of sports. In short, since she is the personification of good fun and clean sport, we are proud to point to Miss Dotter as “our coach.” Subjects: Health, Supervisor of Athletics.
