What the yearbook said

Possessing calm demeanor in contrast to most red heads, "Pussy" has an 'unusually endearing personality. Being talented in art, she loves to draw. On practically any nice day you may see the "Goodwin-Allan" combination driving about the town. "Pussy" hardly ever misses football or hockey games. Her quick wit, artistic talent, and ready smile make her a charming addition to any group.
