Additional Description

General

Dorothy Weiser graduated from Rice Institute in 1937. She was the daughter of Dean Harry B. Weiser and considered one of the most popular co-eds.`She enjoyed following the Rice football team. She participated in the Spring Sport Styles fashion show presented by the Rice Owl. She was a member of the Pallas Athene Literary Society and the lady-in-waiting for Miss Ray Watkin at the Mardi Gras coronation in Galveston. In "A Toast to the Ladies," Weiser was often voted for best face, figure, or date. In this scrapbook there are a few pages of very funny depictions of Weiser, having a photograph of her head attached to various cartoonish bodies.
