The Sequelle, 1923, Clarion State Normal School Yearbook had this to say about Florence:
"'Fimp' is a very charming, vivacious young lady, and so it's no wonder she receives so many mysterious-looking packages. Ask the girls in Navarre [Hall] where you can always get a good piece of candy."

The Sequille '23 yearbook had this to say about Mona:
"There are not enough words to express what we think about our Mona, who's as quick as a wink; But it causes the smiles, which are surely not few. She's quiet, sincere, earnest, and true. And in our affections she's rivaled by few."
