What the yearbook said

Barb came from Saugus to Melrose High during her sophomore year. Of course, she has been teased; but it has not spoiled her sunny disposition. She has been an active member of the Girls’ Club, serving on the induction team during her senior year. She is a member also of Masque and Wig but joined this society too late to take active part in “What Every Woman Knows.” However, she never missed her “Q” when she took part in outside plays. We wish Barb just loads of success at Simmons.
