Although she has not definitely made up her mind as to her future career, the Class of ’40 wishes her the best of luck in her chosen pro- fession. PHYLLIS GEBHARDT Commercial Course History Circle, Shorthand Circle. “A quiet girl , and most demure.’’ Phyllis’ winning smile and sunny disposition have made her one of the most likeable girls in our class. Whenever a helping hand is needed, Phyllis is always ready to give her aid. Pier sense of humor never misses the funny side of anything, and she has brightened many dull moments for her friends with her cheerfulness. Although much of her time is taken up with studies, she still manages to take an active interest in school activities. As yet Phyllis’ plans for the future are incomplete, but whatever field she enters, she has the best wishes of the Class of 1940. WILLIAM GENTILE General Course History Circle, Tau Sigma. Silence is blissful. William, one of the smaller members of our class, joined us rather late in our senior year. He never could be described as noisy or boisterous, but he did manage to have plenty to say when called upon for recitation. Bill’s plans for the future are a bit uncertain, but whatever he does he has the best wishes of the class of 1940. 21
