BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Dorothy Westbay (born ca. 1919) was the daughter of James H. and Buna Westbay. The family lived at 5230 East
North Street in Indianapolis, and James Westbay was an engineer on the CCCStL Railroad. Dorothy Westbay was a
student at Arsenal Technical High School during the years 1934-1937. She was interested in singing, sang occasional
church solos, and won a prize in singing at a musical contest held at Indiana University. She also took part in at least
one high school play.

SCOPE AND CONTENT
This collection consists of one scrapbook, containing clippings, programs, notes, and other memorabilia from the three
years, 1934-1937, when Dorothy Westbay was attending Tech. She seems to have been interested in almost all phases
of school life, particularly dramatics and music. The collection as a whole gives some idea of one female student's life
and interests.
One folder of loose items found in the scrapbook is included.
