Barrington has been in the Chicagoland media spotlight this week after news surfaced that a BHS alumna and Barrington resident had found never-before-seen photos of JFK’s 1960 campaign visit to Barrington High School. That story – and one of those images – takes the spotlight on the cover of this week’s Barrington Suburban Life newspaper.
