The following was in Dorothy's 1923 Mansfield High School yearbook: "Into everything she undertakes, Dorothy puts her whole heart, her most ardent interest and enthusiasm. She is extremely sensitive and nervous, very affectionate, modest and generous. She has naturally curly hair which is the envy of all the girls, and a kind-hearted and considerate disposition that all others wish might be theirs."
