Dola Dunsmuir attended St. Margaret’s School in Victoria. The premises shown in this image were designed by Francis Rattenbury and opened at Fort and Fern Street in 1912. The school moved to a new location in 1970.
Miss Ransom and Miss Bridges’ School for girls in Piedmont, California, existed from 1908 to 1932. Low enrollments during the Depression years forced the school to close. However, when Dola Dunsmuir attended in 1920, the school was thriving. More than a finishing school for young ladies, the school offered a challenging curriculum for university preparation. The school had accommodation for 50 girls and offered frequent outings to concerts and plays as well as riding and hiking clubs. Students also performed an annual Shakespeare play.
