Notes:

 

From her high school yearbook in 1930, . . .

Known as Lee in high school, Leona's senior entry reads as follows: Leona Doris Arbour "Who is it can read a woman?" Born27 Jul 1912, New Britain; New Britain High School, Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 2, 3; Science Club 1; Girl Reserves 1, 2; Dramatic Club 2, 3; Commercial Club 3; Tennis 4; Dress Committee. "Lee" certainly keeps 'em guessing, n'est cepas?

This tongue-in-cheek senior Class Presentation was made to Leona: We give you this package of dates from New Britain in case you haven't enough.

From the Class Poem, Leona's stanza reads as follows:
Miss Arbour maypossibly be
A hairdresser great some fine day.
The gentlemen all you will see
Asking permanent waves sans delay.

Lastly, her senior Class Prophecy reads: Leona Arbour -- We find Leona a wealthy widow living in New York. Sheis now enjoying life with a handsome gigolo from France. It must be nice to be rich, huh, Lee?
