<p>A ‘legend’ according to one dictionary definition, is a person having a special place in public esteem because of striking qualities or deeds, real or fictitious. 'Do' was, and still is, a DWS legend but in that legend there is nothing fictitious; the real was striking enough. She was one of the ‘Greats’.
</p>
<p>She entered DWS as a 12 year old pupil in 1906 and left in 1912 to attend Aberystwyth University. Following a teaching post in South Wales she returned to DWS in 1919, retiring in 1961 as Deputy Headmistress.
</p>
<p>“She was tall and carried herself very erect; she had short straight hair and blue eyes to rival those of Paul Newman and she oozed a great natural authority. When she walked into a classroom an immediate hush fell”
</p>
