What the yearbook said

Calling all cars! Be on the lookout for a petite Miss with sparkling eves and happy disposition that make her a pal worth having. She’s five feet two inches, has fluffy brown locks and dancing blue eyes ; however, she has a dash of pepper for pep and vitality. Her hobbies are dancing and swimming and she has a mania for ivory elephants. May your life lack bumps at Forsyth, “Shirl"!
