What the yearbook said

Barb has ever been one of our most cheerful and peppy members, always ready for a good time, and making loads of fun wherever she goes. This accounts for her host of friends, both boys and girls. Barb lias been very valuable to t he Masque and Wig Society and to the Girls’ Club, taking active parts in both societies. In the fall she expects to enter Forsythe Dental School, and we all feel sure that she will make a very efficient dental hygienist. The class of ’32 wishes Barb a happy and successful career.
