N ATHALIE BABKEB AJ llI6'l'I'y ar llae day is long. Since Nat has been in high school, she has faithfully entered into all Barstow activities. Nat's joyous nature and unlimited energy have won her membership in Glee Club and Pretenders, and in both organizations she has proved herself worthy ot handling a great deal of responsibility. Sterling honesty is a gem that shines brightly in any setting and the one who possesses it has a priceless asset. This is Nathalie's finest characteristic and a truly great one. Wherever she may be next year, her charm and vivacity will surely win her many friends. BARBARA BEBGER I 1111111 have liberly llmilfmzl, rzr large 41 charlw' df live 11'i11d. Barstow and Bobby have been together for thirteen years. except for one year in the seventh grade which breaks the thirteen spell. Glee Club and Pretenders know her good voice and notable acting ability, and to each group she has been I1 valuable member. All of us love Bobby for her rare humor and we admire her for the respect she commands from the Freshmen. There seems to be a lasting freshness and spontaneity about Bobby that we all cherish. She keeps everyone laughing and merry with her good nature and ready wit. IOSEPI-UNE BISHOP I'll am! be lied In loolnif of lpoinfed limer 1311! lerzm my le.i1i'n11.r rzf I plague 111y.reff, jo came to Barstow during her junior year and soon made a place for herself in our class. She has a truly amusing personality and invariably adds some clever remark to set off our discussions in class meetings, This was clearly shown by the way she carried otf one of the best parts in the Glee Club Operetta. Not only did she keep us entertained during rehearsals, but when the night of the operetta rolled around she was even funnier than ever, May she always keep that happy disposition and at her next stop make as true a place for herself as she has made here at Barstow.
