What the yearbook said

Barbs, a lively little blonde who came to us from the Washington School, has a sweet, smiling personality. Her interests lie mainly in sports, especially football and ice hockey. She is a good student and has a special flare for mathematics. She is not yet sure of her vocation or what college to attend, but wherever she goes, whatever she does, we know she will be a success. Good luck, Babs!
