Her family had lived in Sycamore, Illinois, but now resided in Irvington, New York.
Barbara Engh was selected by William C. Croft of Airken, South Carolina, commander of the 2nd Company at the USNA, the school's "Color Company." She is a sophomore at Sweet Briar College, in Sweet Briar, Virginia. The Engh family is well-known in Sycamore.
