Old Photographs -- High School Girls

The blogger at Keeping Austin Weird (great name for a blog) works at a girls school, where photographs of ex-pupils -- from way back -- line the walls. This is the beautiful Miss Doryoalace Watson (another great name...) :





Who never married, it seems. One commentator to the blog rightly pointed out the not all beautiful girls marry but it is fairly obvious that Doryoalace would have 'suitors' lining up and marrying was the done thing back then. Perhaps her sweetheart was killed in the war.

Strange to be wondering about the life of a complete stranger on the strength of seeing her image on a wall or a blog. Her name might have caught our attention briefly but I think it must be her looks that captures the imagination.
