What the yearbook said

“Barb’s” interests are : bowling, field-hockey, basketball, and dancing. For the past year, however, her chief interest has been “six-feet-plus.” Nothing disturbs “Barb” very much ; not outwardly, anyway. She maintains the same calm expression whether she is studying, dancing to Benny Goodman, or “reeling” around corners in her Essex at unearthly rates of speed. “Barb” plans to become a nurse, and, since a nurse must be calm, cool, and collected, — “Barb” you’ll make a “swell” one.
