Sadly, we were not able to find Dot's entry from the 1949 edition, but we will keep you updated if it surfaces. If you would like to look through the catalog of Penn State yearbooks it is available online here: http://www.libraries.psu.edu/digital/lavie/

Hi Jesse,

In the earlier picture Sara is the baby- Top row from left to right: David, Ruth Johnson, Frank, David R., Bill. Bottom row left to right: Thomas, Mary, Sara, Jean, and Bob.
