What the yearbook said
Hold your boys, girls. Here comes Phyl, our brown-eyed blonde. She hailed from Cuba in ’33, bringing with her a friendly spirit, a dynamic personality, and a positive flare for comedy. We know Cuba lost a charming person for we gained her. Phyl seems to go for the big blue eyes of a certain Bill. We wonder who ! ! Phyl hopes to enter Simmons next year. We wish her luck and hope she’ll “Ring” her typewriter with more success than ever.
