What the page does not say. No clubs or activities, no grammar school, no plan after graduation here. Classmates' entries carry them often (clubs or activities 78%, grammar school 67% and plan after graduation 36%); if Barbara's entry has them on the scan, our reading missed them and we would like to hear.

What the yearbook said

Barbara entered Melrose High School in September, 1928, and has made many friendships during her four years with us. Barbara was such a studious girl during the first half of her Junior year that her nerves demanded a rest for the remainder of the term. She lost most of her hard earned points for the Junior year and was obliged to carry a double load of subjects this year. Because of her ambition, she has succeeded in securing her required points. The very best wishes from the class of ’32 go with you, Barb, in whatever you may undertake. •
