Love, Dorothy - 1945

Dorothy graduated from high school in 1945, the year World War II ended. One can only imagine the relief she must have felt to be starting her independent life in a time of peace and prosperity after years of war, rationing, and uncertainty. She is wearing a large octagonal locket on a long chain. Notice the rimless glasses, so popular at this time.
