In Chicago:
Dottie dropped an awful lot of names in her diary, too, as she dished about parties, dating, clubs, teas, etc. I bet looking at some old yearbooks from Hyde Park High would be really fun & informative! I figured I'd list them here in case any jump out at you as names or photos you've seen before. There really are an awful lot!
