What the yearbook said

Everyone knows “Betty” Barry’s friendly smile which none of the calamities of High School life can efface. It is "Betty” who has upheld the honor of the class of ’26 by her untiring and successful efforts to obtain high honors all through High school. But studying has not hindered her from showing her fine school spirit by her activities in the Euclidean Society, the Masque and Wig Society and the Girls’ Club. We shall remember her in the role of “Mother” in the play “Ellie’s Furnishing”, given in the Junior Year. In the senior year. “Betty” was in the chorus of “Mikado”. The trying task of playing the piano for the upper class chorus has lent her cheerfulness undimmed. During her four years at M. H. S., “Betty” has proved herself a true Scout, and has won a warm place in the hearts of those who know her.
