What the yearbook said

In 1928 Barb, an awe-stricken freshman, reached the portals of M. H. S. She had ideas of her own about home-work, and in her four-year career it has not troubled her greatly. Why labor over Problems and Biology note-books when Phillipps Holmes, or better still, Clark Gable is playing at the local theatre? One day she appeared with a pug at the back of her neck, and lo and behold! She was grown up. From that time on, she has developed a strange interest in a far-away place called Hillsboro. Funny how one can become so attached to a country town, or maybe it isn’t only the town. Lately, for some unknown reason, aviation has claimed her attention. Well, Barb, happy landings.
