What the yearbook said

Phil Wallace — how familiar that name sounds to us all! Phil entered M. H. S. from Roosevelt in ’32. His popularity is largely due to his interest in school athletics and social activities (with whom a certain Jo helps to take part). Phil’s great ambition is to become a success in aviation, and to further his education he plans to attend Southern California School. In this ambition we all wish you much success, Phil.
