What the yearbook said

Behold the second member of the “Eternal Triangle” or “the Holy Three”! Since her freshman days “Barbie” has been one of the leaders of our class. She began her athletic career by starring on the championship freshman field hockey team. Every season since has seen her on the field or in the “gym” scoring for Melrose in field hockey or basketball. “Barb” is our most all-around girl, for besides serving in the aforementioned activities, and her duties as president of the Girls’ Club, she has managed to maintain a high standard in her studies. “Barb” has been further distinguished by her height and her ability to resist the call of the barber. The best we can wish for, “Barbie”, is that you succeed as well in Wellesley as you have in M. H. S.
