Lists, Part I: A 1941 Yearbook

I have come upon a bunch of things in list format, so the next few posts will be lists of things. Today's list is from a 1941 women's college yearbook. In the men's yearbook, what they put under the students' photos were names of fraternities and sports statistics. Beneath the women's . . . it gets weird. The women have been given descriptive phrases. These are the more notable ones that I scribbled down on scrap paper with a stolen pencil (I was "working" at the time):

Sunshine in a Scotch cap
Pixy with a golden heart
Wheeee!!!!
Coal black midnight with the smile of dawn
Cherub with a kick
Choreography for gracious living
Peter Pan lurks behind Mona Lisa
Good books and the sheen of pearls in the firelight
Oh, shades of Beelzebub!
Seven no trump, redoubled and made
Sophistication in curls
Ebullient exothermal reaction
Agreement is a sign of weakness
Potential gaiety
Efficiency in pink
Science cuts caper
Hot tomales and honey
Insouciance in a red dress
The case for psychology
Rembrandt's only rival
The Gamma Gamma from Walla Walla
"Horses! Horses! Horses!"
The serious approach with an intrusion of accuracy
Amiable inanities in pastel shades
Pegasus and pink elephants
Pixilated Pandora
"Confoosin' but amoosin'!"
Whimsey takes the stage
Dreamy eyes over a centrifuge
The last of the conservatives
The daguerrotype-girl steps out
Still waters with golden highlights
Dark lady with a typewriter
Formula for charm

It's like a group of bad poets took LSD and wrote down their hallucinations. ("Horses! Horses! Horses!" I've never seen anyone on LSD but that's what I imagine they're like.) I have no other explanation.
