I can’t even believe how sexist this 1946 year book is! Can you believe someone actually thought this was ok to print?
Which one do you find the most offensive? For me it is a toss up between “pretty little fat girl,” “nice looking figure,” and “He’ll come someday, Hundley.”
Rebecca Nelson
A combination of looks, nice looking figure,
friendly ways, and the Navy— Let’s go on…
Vera Brumfield
Our pretty little “fat” girl-nice as they come
She doesn’t really need reducing.
Doris Hundley
Plenty of goodness for someone to love.
He’ll come someday, Hundley.
Audrey Roach
Pretty as a picture, with a warm southern accent,
lots of bot friends.
Romaine Childress
Big little woman, pleasant ways, wants to be a doctor-
Happy butchering.
Ethel Cash
A typical southern belle, with personality appeal-
“Hubba, Habba…”
Lillian Hodges
One of the married members of our class but
I don’t blame you “Pansy”, when it comes to a
man like you’ve got, good luck.
Mildred Howerton
Here comes the Navy. She’s got the ring but Mildred,
remember, a sailors got a gal in every port.
Dora Mae (Swift) Holt
Married while a junior, lived to get a diploma.
Nice work, Dora Mae.
