What the yearbook said

Phyllis came from Portland, Alaine, in the year of ’32, With hair so blond, and dimples round, and pretty eyes of blue. In Athletics she’s outstanding, among the very best. She gets the baskets and makes the goals, and sure has plenty of zest ! Her favorite sport is hockey, then comes swimming too. One could not leave out dancing — if they could see her “.Susie-0.”
