What the yearbook said

Barbara came to M. H. S. from the Washington School in ’28 as a quiet, demure, and petite freshman. My, how she’s changed in these few short years! Though not an actual participant in athletics, Smitty has been a staunch supporter of both the boys and the girls. Barb has greeted the school population from behind the lunch counter for the last two years. What would the school do without this accurate and exacting girl behind the change counter? Barbara’s ready smile and helping hand have proved an inspiration to many of us. Here’s wishing you loads of luck in whatever you decide to do later on, Barb!
