What the yearbook said

Barb’s quick wit and ready smile have won her many friends during her high school days. Her favorite sports are riding and swimming. They say the riding instructor is quite nice! She is an enthusiastic football and hockey fan, doing some heavy rooting for Arlington in at the Gardens. She intends to launch forth upon a journalistic career and we all hope she meets with the greatest success.
