Funny story. The ugliest girl I knew in high school was very a very sweet girl with an Irish last name. She actually made a pretty good marriage. It is hard to think of any 15-year old as ugly, but sadly she was, and she never really go pretty. I only later learned that her grandparents were successful vaudevillians, and I’ve seen photographs of them, and they were pretty attractive, like the folks in your post.
