What the yearbook said
Phil is a quiet, unassuming chap whose gentle disposition earns for him the admiration of a host of friends. He came to us in his sophomore year from New Orleans, and has succeeded in obtaining excellent grades, in addition to a remarkable familiarity with certain of the juniors. His favorite hobby is that of wielding a mean celluloid on the resonant strings of a tenor banjo. Phil plans to continue his education at Harvard. He has the best wishes of his colleagues for an inevitable success.
