The class of 1955 was the smallest in the past history of Elaine High, Elaine, Arkansas, but was a small family with everyone getting along. Barbara was the heart of our little group. Whenever you saw Barbara you saw that big smile she always had. My prayers go out to your family. God bless, rest in
