The Barretone. 6 THE BARRETONE LITERARY THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Is it the turkey, pudding, sauce, and pie That stirs the Christmas spirit o’er the earth? ’ith gorgeous gifts must we forever try To celelmate the little Christ Child ' s birth? Is it the tree so tow ' ring and so tall. Decked out with ornaments of every hue? Or do the dainty parcels at its foot Breathe forth our Christmas message true? Ah, no, ’tis none of these mere earthly things. Which please us only for a little while. It ' s bringing cheer and greetings glad to all •And sharing festal joys, however small. It’s spreading Christmas tidings far and near That makes this day the best of all the year, Gladys Abbott, ' dO. AT MARKET THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS Oh, the excitement and bustle of marketing the day Iiefore Christmas, hat intense mystery is in the air, and what a busy sense of preparation the hurried shoppers convey as they rush frantically from one store to another! All one needs to join their ranks is a huge mar- ket basket, a long list of toothsome articles for the Christmas dinner, an ample purse, and an over- developed sense of ambition. Then he may draw his warmest coat tightly about him, pull his cap firmly over his ears, grasp his market basket fer- vently. and stej) briskly out into a cold, raw De- cember day, probably characterized by thin, sting- ing flakes of falling snow. However uninviting the weather, one finds the Christmas spirit of his fellow-shoppers unchanged. All are rea:ly with friendly smiles or cheery Christmas greetings as they hurry along the crowded streets, their arms piled high with bun- dles and their market baskets filled to the brim with all the delicious luxuries of Christmas. Even the little wreaths that are hung in the windows cjiie passes emit a friendly. Christmas ghiw. and the jollv, rubicund face of the rotund .Santa Claus on the ' corner reflects all the joyful anticipations one had when he leaned without doubt upon the miraculous generosities of that kindly Christmas saint. When one reaches the crowded and active mar- ket. it seems the goal of all his hungry longings. There he sees wonderful fat turkeys, luscious red cranberries, graceful, white celery, wholesome jiumpkins. turnips and squashes, and ai)petizing foods of all descriptions. He tries to elbow his way through the anxiously waiting throng, and. if successful, he may soon be shouting the contents of his lengthy list into the attentive ears of the tired clerk who hurries to serve him. Later he hurries homeward through the cling- ing snow, his basket filled and his mind at ])eace with the world. Upon his brain is stamped a hap- ])v, jumbled impression of persons. Traces, and things, which, however ordinary they may actually be. certainly contribute to that indefinite thing we call the Christmas “feeling.” Mary Louisa Taylor. ’.C PURCHASING A NECKTIE It was the morning of December twenty-fourth that Mrs. Brownell took her flour-begrimed hands out of the dough that she was mi.xing. A thought that had been troubling her for weeks again came to h.er. What would she buy for her brother’s Christmas present? Again the only answer that came to her mind was. “Get him a necktie.” When her holiday baking was finished, she went downtown, keeping in mind the fact that she •.addn’t siiend too much money. She walked down Main street, glancing into the shoj) windows for ideas, yet all things were either ])riced toi high or would not be a suitable present for her brother. She gave uj) all hope of finding any- thing different when she saw a display of gaily- colored neckties in a small shop window. THE BARRETONE 7 As she entered the store, a clerk came forward. “What can I do for yon, Madam?” he asked with a smile on his face. “I am looking for a present for my brother. I saw the disjday in the window and I thought a necktie would he the thing.” The clerk took several boxes from a shelf be- hind him. “Here is a nice bright, cheery one, suitable for a young man,” said the clerk, holding up a tie of red and silver stripes, a most gaudy affair. “That is rather pretty and he is a young man but I don’t want to take the first thing I see.” said Mrs. Brownell. ' Pile clerk showed her many other ties of gay. drab and medium shades. To most of them Mrs. Brownell shook her head. Gradually the smile wore off the clerk ' s face. A look of disgust ap- peared in its plaice as Mrs. Brownell suddenly exclaimed. “I guess I will take the first one you showed me.” Ruth Mann, ' , 2. A DAY AT BARRE FAIR I ' he first impression one gets as he enters Barre Fair is a confusing medley of sounds. He can hear the lowing of cattle, the buzz of the police- man ' s motorcycle, the cry of the balloon man and fruit vender, the whirr of machinery from the ex- hibition hall, and the excited voices of the throng which j)resses eagerly forward to see the sights. If he goes the first morning he will hear much noise from the direction of the grandstand. It is made by the loyal high school students, who have come to cheer their athletic teams on to victory and ])o.ssession of the athletic cu]). Incidentally they are com])eting for the cheering cup and their rival costumes make a bright splash of color on the fairgrounds. Most ])eo])le like to go to the e.xhibition hall first. There they see products of agriculture and machinery, wonders in sewing, cooking, and art. It is a most interesting sight and offers a s])lendid variety of entcrtiainment. After looking at the exhibits, one usualh ' trav- els through the midway or main thoroughfare. Here he finds “chance” booths, lunch tents, ex- ])erts ( .• ' ) in palmistry, novelty booths, amusement tents, a sideshow, merry-go-round, ferris-wheel. and chair-swing. It is really intensely exciting to watch them all ! Many people come to see the horse shows and races. There is much entertainment in this as well as ])rofit for the winners of the competitions. There is always a vaudeville at the fair, and one can enjoy the mischief of the clowns and the breath-taking stunts of the trapeze performers to his heart ' s content. .■ t night there is a grand dis])lay of fireworks. I ' hey make a noise as loud as a cannon’s and light up the sky with the hues of a rainbow. . s the visitor leaves the fair-grounds, tirei. sleej)} ' and sunburned from tbe day’s exertions, the last things he sees are the fairy-like lights of the ferris-wheel and merry-go-round. However, he is (juite willing to leave them all for the com- forts of a warm bed and joyful anticipation of the glorious time next year’s fair will bring. M. L. T.. ’.kb SPEAKING A PIECE Public si caking has started in your school and you are among the first to speak. You spend many hours memorizing } our piece. Your ]:)rinci- jial announces the order of the si)eakers for Fri- day and you find that you are last on the list. I ' riday morning comes and you try very hard to apjiear at ease, but your nervousness is over- powering. The auditorium is filled with nearly two hundred students and you begin to feel verv queer, as soon as you enter the hall. ' ou and your classmates, who are also to speak sit in the front row always reserved for the speakers and cheer leaders. During the opening exercises, you fumble with your pa])er and try very hard to regain your ease. It is all in vain, ’ou grow more and more ner- vous as the others declaim. Finally, after what seems months of waiting, you hear the principal call your name. ; s you mount the steps to the platform, you stumble, and a strange feeling comes over you. Everything is blurred and misty. You nod to the lirincijial and faculty, who are seated on the ])lat- form. I ' hen, with a feeling of dread in your heart, you face the student body. .A heavy mist gathers be- fore your eyes. ' Ani hesitate, trying to think of the first line. ' ou start to speak, but your voice seems small and faint. Finally, the mist clears and you sjieak the rest of your jiiece with the vi or of a small boy catching his first large fish. Then, the last words are .s])oken and you leave the platform, amid a burst of applause from the 8 THE BARRETONE student body. Then and there, you vow that you would rather write a hundred essays than speak a l iece before the whole school. Hester Chisholm, ’32. “A TALE OF TWO CITIES” VS. “TIDE OF EMPIRE” In comparing these two novels I will first take up the characters. The traits of Dickens’s characters are, tor the most part, brought out in conversation, while conversation and action combine to develop Kyne’s characters. For almost every character in “The Tale of Two Cities a similar one may be found in the “Tide of Empire.” Dermod D’Arcy, son of Erin, who has come to establish himself in California, is the hero. To me his character stands out more distinctly than either that of Carton or of Darnay. The heroine. Josej ha Guerrero, is more inde])endent and active than Lucy. In this story Carton has two parallels. One is Obadiah Pop])y. a Bostonian jn-eacher whose weakness is rum. but who before the end of the story reforms himself; the other. Sir Humphrey “Bart O’Shea, a former captain in the Medical Corps of the Brit- ish XMvy. He refrains from drinking during the smallpo.x epidemic and saves a number of lives. However, he himself, finally falls victim to the disease and is totally blinded. B. Jabez “Be- jabers ’ Harmon, the jailer who is introduced as the saddest figure in the world is similar to IVIr. Lorry. Like Mr. Lorry he was business-like and gentle, yet unlike Mr. Lorry he had a cjuick wit which he used to the greatest advantage. A widow. Marge Minturn, compares with Miss Pross. Barsad and Cly may be compared to Rom- auldo Guerrero. Joseph’s half-brother, and Alvah Cannon. . ny of the Dons, who are all poor busi- ness men. resemble Mr. Stryver. This leaves only Mine. Defarge. Monsieur Defarge, the Vengeance. Dr. Manette. and Jerry Cruncher unparalleled. With the exception of Madame Defarge and Sid- ney Carton. I think the characters of the “Tide of Empire stand out more distinctly than those of the “Tale of Two Cities. Dicken s ' s main plot is not reached until the fif- teenth chajiter. while that of Kyne’s is evident in the third chapter. Yet once begun, the movement of Dickens ' s tale is very fast. His climax is care- fully approached and is better than that of Kvne’s. which to my mind is poorly planned. Numerous sub-plots in Kyne’s tale are very interesting and provide the reader with many amusing incidents. In his story Dickens gives us an excellent view of both London and Paris at the time of the Erench Revolution. His descriptions of the times leave a distinct picture or impression in the read- ers’ minds. California at the time of the gold-rush is Kyne’s setting. The peacefulness and beauty of California before the discovery of gold and the rampage caused by this discovery constitute Kyne’s main descriptions. The historical basis of Dickens’s story is true, while Kyne has intermingled true incidents and characters with those of his own manufacture. In Kyne’s story one happening seems to me im- probable. It is during an epidemic of smallpo.x in Happy Camp when Miss Josepha Guerrero aided the stricken. Unvaccinated and in contact with the diseased every day, Miss Guerrero was not even stricken, although about three-fourths of the town’s population had passed away. Pathos abounds in both novels; Dickens’s tale, however, leads. Kyne has a large abundance of humor to even up matters. Dickens uses similes and metaphors a great deal. Eoreshadowing and suspense are found in his “Tale of Two Cities’’ and serve really as interest-builders. In Kyne’s story no foreshadowing and similes or metaphors worth mentioning can be found. Dickens, therefore, is the more artistic author. Dickens ' s purpose in writing his “Tale of Two Cities” was to portray the wrongs of the op- pressed French jieople, the care-free manner of the nobles, the horrors of the Revolution, and the great love man can have for his brethren. In his story Kyne showed the hardships of the miner of ' 49, showed that even the worst man can Iietter himself, showed how civilization ruined a peacefulness which is known only to those who have no enemies and dwell in a land of plenty, surrounded by their dear ones. Henry J. Puchalsky. ' 31. THE BARRETONE 9 SKY DREAMS li I could some (lay in my airplane go High n] above the trees and huge white clouds, And look far down njion the gathered crowds. How ha]i])y, thrilled, o’erjoyed I’d he — to know That I had left the earth far, far below. W ' hat sjiort, what thrills, to make the struts sing loud. I ' d dive. I’d loop, next roll, then bank,- — so proud d ' o show the crowds the stunts that I could do. In dreams an object small ajipears on high. It slowly, slowly, comes into my sight. Then faster, faster, it goes speeding by. From out the daylight and into the night; It never falters, never gives a sigh. Just strives onward, humming in powerful flight. Richard Harrington, ’.10. A SWISS MARKET SCENE In front of the hotel was the outlet of the lake of Lucerne, do the left, a long, low, cove - ' ! brown bridge, built by Caesar, stretched across the blue water. In the center, a little to the right, was a hexagonal stone fortress, wearing a caj) of red shingles surmounted by a stork’s nest. On the nearer side of the river, market day was held for the forty thousand inhabitants of Lu- cerne. Before the mists had risen from the near- est . lps the ])rospective sellers had jmshed their scpieaking wooden carts down from their chalets, ' fhe conveyances now rested with their handles placed on the railing which ran between the walk and the river. Here one cart was loaded with fruits — pears, apples, grapes and small berries very much like blueberries. Near this was cme filled with fresh-killed birds. -V casual onlooker would observe at first noth- ing very i)eculiar about the bartering from our point of view. Still. apl)les were weighed to the twentieth of a cent. Lvery merchant trustfnll - let his customers help themselves, receiving his ])ay at the convenience of the buyer. In the whole district there was one duck. ' I ' his appealed to a middle-aged, well-dressed man. At first he picked it uj) and smelled of it. Im])atieutly he threw it down. . pj)areutly he sus] ected its freshness. 11c wandered off. In a few moments he again found himself at the stand. ' I ' his time he very carefully ])inched the mallard. .Still he was skei)tical. He (|uestioned the busy seller. Cn- satisfied he again departed to make another tour of the stands. When the markets were closing, he again appeared hastily. He rushed up to the stand, and after giving the duck a close scrutiny, bought the coveted bird, with an air of great sat- isfaction. Peter Pauli, ’.10. A NEAR TRAGEDY One cold night in the Yellowstone National Park, just as 1 was falling asleep in the pup tent, 1 heard a slight noise. It sounded like the focat- falls of an incpiisitive bear. It ha])pened that I was sleeping nearest the closed end of the tent, and that the animal was coming towards me. As the sound aiiproached, I had visions of a bear stepping upon me, hugging me, and being otherwise play- ful, Hy hair stood upon end, and in spite of eight wcaolen blankets, shivers ran up and down my s])ine. Then, for the first time since I had left home, I was glad the tent had an open end, be- cause if that bear ever started to come in I had de- cided to go out. The fla]) suddenly sagged as if the bear had ])Ut his paw on it. I decided it was time to leave. Out the open end of the tent I fled. 1 didn’t so much as look back until 1 was a long wav off. Then, as I heard no semnd of pursuit, I glanced over luv shoulder. All I saw was one scared chipmunk, leg ' ging it for dear life in the op- ]iosite direction, ' I ' homas Pauli, ’.12, THE FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY The Field Museum of Natural History is situat- ed on the shore of Lake Michigan, Tnis immense stone buihbng is a magnificent examjde of archi- tectural beauty. However, the building itself can- not be comjiared with the jiriceless treasures which it houses, . s one enters the huge main room, or waiting room,, one sees first a large, stuffed ele]diant and a hip])opotamus. Around the edges of the room are cases of articles which have great historic V due. Benches occtipv the remaining sl ' ace. ' fhree es])ecially interesting things are, an old Fgyj)tian mummy, a huge tomb whose walls arc covered with hierogly])hic writings, and the varied costumes rud wea];ous of Indians and other sav- age jieople, . nyoue who i)lans to go to Chicago will cer- tainly not want to miss this museum which con- tains some of the most interesting collections ot 1 i toric curios in the world, Ian Turner, ’32, 10 THE BARRETOXE NORTH PARK ' I he history of North I’ark or the northern ])art t)f Harre eoininon. is very interesting-. I have oiten wondered why it is tliat this particular spot slipuld he entirely fenced in, while the rest of the common is open. ears ago this park was given to the town of Barre. It as to he used for no other j urpose than as a park and on no condition W£ivS the fence which surrounded it, to he taken down. As soon as this fence is removed the land will immediatelv return to the descendants of its jjrevious owners. It was lirst used as a picnic ground and a place to hold band concerts. Later the hand-stand was removed. Since the Civil War a monument, to the men of Barre who fought in the war, was erected in the center of the i)ark. Another monument dedicated to the men of Barre who fought in the World War was unveiled Armistice Day, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine. Mae Wilson, ' , 0. AN ELIZABETHAN AND AN AMERICAN In 1620 a oung nobleman of England was be- witched by an old hag. She put him to sleep in a deep slumber that was to last until 1929. During this long period, his body was found, aud, since the i)eople supposed him to be a mummy, he was l)laced in a museum. An American, who saw him, was possessed with a desire to own him. Finally, this influential business-man bought him and brought him to America, where he put the noble- man in his collection of curios. There he has been staying ever since. It is now 1929. A boy of about eighteen years, the grandson of the business-man, is looking over his grandfather ' s collection. ■ ' oung American ; “I hope grandfather leaves a few of these old things to me. They are mighty interesting. Take this mummy, for e.xample. It looks as if it would awake at any moment. Why, 1 must be dreaming! It’s opening its eyes! (Pinches himself). Ouch! I am awake !’’ (interval of several seconds.) Young Nobleman : “Who are vou. and where am I?” . A. : “Well, I should like to know what you think you are. You have been dead for ages and ages, and now you wake uj)! N. : “What! Dead! This isn’t heaven, is it? Does everyone here wear clothes like yours?” Y. A. ; “Of course this isn’t heaven. Right now x’ou’re ill uiy grandfather’s house in New ' urk City, aud all the fellows wear clothes like this.” N. : “Where is New York City?” y. “In the Cnited States of .America. I ' hat’s w here.” . N. ; “Oh . merica ! But how did 1 get here.- ” A.: “My grandfather brought you over here fifty years ago.” y. Xb : “W ell, 1 don’t remember that. The last thing 1 can remember is going to the theatre in 1620.” y. A.: “1620! it is now 1929’’ i. .N. : “Wliere have I been all this time?” . A. : “1 don t know. But Fll tell you what we’ll do. Let’s go to the theatre ; that’ll give you the thrill of your life. Come on!” Y. N. ; “W hat’s a thrill?” (They leave the room. We see them ne.xt in the theatre. The young nol)leman has a look of astonishment on his face. ) Y. A. : “Well, what do you thinK of our the- atre ?” Y. N. : “Where is the sky?” y. A . ; “You see there is a roof that covers the building so you can’t see the sky.” Y. N. : “(Jh ! Our theatres have no roofs like that. By the way. where is the stage? Is that little ])lace all the peo])le act on?” y. A.: “Oh no. pretty soon the curtain will be raised and then you can see the stage. Oh, there it goes !” Y. N. : “Wdiy, what are those trees doing on the stage? And where are the ])lacards to an- nounce the settings and everything?” Y. A. : “The trees are the setting. You see, they try to make everything look as real as possi- ble now. They don’t use placards any more.” Y. N. : “Those l)oys make very beautiful girls. They act natural too.” Y. A. : “Boys ! Girls ! They are girls !” Y. N. : “You let girls act on the stage? But that’s not ])roper. you know.” ' S ' . A. : “It’s pro])er enough now. Old Man.” (.Silence reigns for a few minutes.) Y. N. : “What comfortable chairs you have here. Back home we had only benches or boxes to sit on, or else we stood up. Most everybody stood in the pit. Where do the common peo- l)le stand today? I don’t see any pit.” Y. .A. : “No. Everybody has a chair like we have. Some seats are better than others, but they are all ujiholstered. Now let’s listen to the play and talk afterwards.” Adele Dunbar. ’30. THE BARRETONE 11 THE STORM W hen the rain is falling from on high And all the fleecy clouds are black and gray — Wdien howling east-wind blows his stormy way O ' er all the hills and vales and seas and sky — When water drenches leaves and flowers and trees And thunder roars, and lightning streaks the air — When wind is wrecking homes of birds and bees And all things droop which once were bright and fair — 1 sit alone and think of God’s great love And care for those who live on this large earth. He watches o’er us all from time of birth And sends us blessings, gifts from u]) above. His storm He makes o’er all the world to rove To prove His strength and love to sky and earth. Elza Dahart, ’30. THE APPROACH OF THE CIRCUS PARADE At first, a faint strain of music fell on our eager ears, growing louder every moment. Soon, around the bend, hand-players pranced into view in their gala suits of red and gold. By us ploughed the gi- gantic ele])hant, his ears cocked and his tail switching, while his awkward hoofs scraped the pavements, .‘ we-strickcn. we held our breath, as a ferocious lion, im])atiently pacing up and down in his cage, passed slowly by. How exciting it was to see the spry monkeys, bushy bears, spot- ted zebras and angry tigers glare at us from their gilt cages. Ah, at last! The greatly-antici] ated acrobats, clothed in scarlet costumes. ])osed as their gayly-trimmed carriages were drawui slowly by. The piquant, side-show queen, the living skel- eton. the fat woman, and the snake-charmer claimed our attention each in her turn, ft was with a .sigh of regret that we watched the rear band-men flash by in their bright costumes and head ' d the gay music gradually fade away.

At a glance one conld see that he was enraged. “Is Mr. Photo- Play in? he in(|nired of the girl who ald roached him. “iM ' -yes. came the hesitant answer. “Do yon wish to see him at once? He is very hnsv this morning and does not wish to he distnrhed. “My hnsiness with him is very important. Here’s my card; present it to him. if yon please.” She took the e.xtended card and entered the movie magnate ' s private office. A moment later she returned and proceeded toward Mr. Drama. He was conversing with another arrival, whom she recognizeil as Mr. Musical Show. She did not interrupt their conversation, hut waited. Finallv a lapse came. “Mr. Photo- Play is prepared to see you, she announced to Mr. Drama. Air. Drama nodded his head and beckoned Air. Show to follow him. “Good morning,” said Air. Photo- Play, pushing away a pile of pa])ers and leaning back in his chair. “What can I do for you? Er-good morning. Air. Show.” he added, spying that personage liehind Air. Drama. 1 hey both returned the greeting and then Air. Drama proceeded alone. “Air. Photo-Play. I’ve come here on very important business. Air. Show has come on business similar to mine, so we came in together. For the last six weeks you have been signing uj) my stars and head-liners who have been waiting for the arrival of fall to resume work, and you have been sending them to Hollv- wood. our talkies are ruining my business. Last week, four of my local theatres had to be closed, and operations in a dozen more in other cities were suspended. AMur talkies are new and de- serve great praise, but you know that you are mak- ing poor pictures. Only the presence of mv stars draws the crowds.” “Air. Drama is right.” interrupted Air. Show. “A ' ou copy my ideas and sign up the stars whom T have discoverecl. A ou 11 have to watch A ' our step now.” Air. Photo- PI ay smiled. “A ' ou’ve both had vour day, but now Pm taking your place. ‘The old or- der changeth. yielding place to new.’ .As for the stars, if they were not desirous of signing. I would not have pressed them. Aloreover business is bus- iness.” Henry Puchalsky, ’31. A REVERSE DECISION iL was a ueauliiul autumn day tor some people, oul noL lor S)ammy. He shuttled around in nis _ aia, Kicking stones and trying to get up enougli courage to ask his mother a quesuon. He nau iwen considering it for a long time. .vt last he made his decision. Hastily walking to tne house, he opened the door, rushed in, and said, without any neating around the bush, “I’m going over to Slocumville and take a ride m an air- plane. It only costs three dollars. I’ve got the money, so all 1 have to do is to hud a way to gct there.’’ What!” said Sammy’s astonished mother. Are }()U trying to tell me that you are going to take a ride m an airplane? 1 should say not.” . vw , come on ma ! Ciive a feller a chance.” said Sammy. I hen a bright idea dawned upon him. Oh a — I’ll tell you what,” he said, “if ])op lets me go, will you?” .Sammy ' s mother, knowing full well that his fatiier wouldn’t even think of such a thing, replied. “Ves.” W ith a vrhoop Sammy ran into the garage, where his father was busy fi.xing the car. and shouted. “Lleigh, pop. kin I go — ?” “A ' es, yes. go right ahead.” said the father, wishing not to be disturbed by his son and think- ing that this was one of his son’s usual “kin I do this” and kin I do that?” Sammy, without bothering to tell his mother, started for SlocumviHe. After walking a distance his enthusiasm cooled slightly for walking wasn’t as easy as it might be. Just as he was going to take a rest by the road-side and think the matter over more carefully, a passing motorist happened along and gave him a lift. He soon arrived in Slocumville. “Alight as well get out my cash. said Sammy, a; he neared the flying field. He searched for hi- billfo’d. Suddenly it flashed upon him that his money was safe. A ' es. far too safe, for it was at home on the bureau, just where he had put it that morning. “Oh-a-well 1 guess I don’t want a ride anyway. It might make me sick, an ! if I got into an acci- dent and got killed. I’d get a good licking when I got home. And-a-mom didn’t seem to like the idea. I guess I’ll have to turn back and — ” Sammy never finished that sentence, for there right on the ground in front of him lay a new five-dollar bill, with the airplane in the adjoining field waiting for a passenger.

The sun was scLtnig and everything seemed hushed for tlie twi- iignt Hour 111 the little town of Readville. i ' ominy Lane sat on the veranda of the Black’s home, ills neart was very heavy and sorrowful, riis inotner had just died. This meant that Tom- my was alone m tne world as far as relatives went, but not as far as friends went. His pal, Joe Liack, had teased his parents to take Tommy into tneir home. They had done so. All this seemed a long- rime ago, hut in reality it was only three weeks. cneery whistle sounded from within the house, and Joe Black came out onto the veranda. Hello, old scout,” he cheerfully greeted Tom- m_. , aren’t you going swimming with the fellows tonight “Oil, come on, be a sport,” he added as no an- swer came from Tommy. Tommy was in no mood to go swimming. His heavy loss was still very pressing, hut then — Joe liad ( ' one a lot for him. why shouldn’t he buck up and go ? “Sure I’ll go. I’ll he ready as soon as the rest of the gang ' , and 1 bet 1 can stay the longest under water, too,” he added with some of h.is old sjhri. returning. It was several weeks after this that Tommy met Miss Itrown on the street. She was dressed as usual in a long, black skirt that dragged along tlm sidewalk. Although it was a very warm day she had a heavy, woolen sh.awl on her shoulders, and a black bonnet on her head. She walked along the street and into the postoffice. . summer visitor said to Tommy, “Who is that old lady?” “She’s the village crank,” Tommy rejilied with- out hesitation, “she’s so cranky you can’t look at her without getting a call-down for it. She makes me sick. Why, last winter just because we bovs were ])Iugging snowballs she told us to stop, said it was dangerous and we might hurt someone.” “Well, some i)eo])le are like that,” returned the visitor and he passed on. ‘A’ou bet they are. and people like that get mv goat,” flung hack Tommv to the departing guest. The summer days went by and fall came on. with a fluttering of gay colored leaves and a chill, lively wind. One night about eight o ’clock the Black’s house eaiKrPt fire. 1 fow. nobody knew, but they certain- !v knew it was on fire, when later the house burn- ed to the ground because the little flivver fire truck couldn’t be inducei.i co start promptly. A large crowd gathered, among Avhom were Air. and Airs. Alerry and Aliss Brown. As Air. Black worked for the Alerrys, they off ' ered them a home fcjr a while. “But we won’t have that Tommy.” scornfully aided Airs. Alerry. “What are you going to do, old scout?” Joe (juestioned Tommy. “1 don’t know, guess I’ll have to be a tramp, he answered discouragingly. Both boys stopped speaking when they saw Aliss Brown coming toward them. “Have you found a home yet, Tom?” she asked looking at him. “No, ma’am, 1 haven’t,” he answered. “Come with me. then. I need a strong, young bov to work for me and I will give you a nice home.” Tommy went. The next summer Tommy and the same visitor were standing talking together udien Aliss Brown went into the jmstoffice. “Is that the village crank?” asked the visiio “Xo,” replied Tommy, rvith a sheepish grin as he remembered his answer of a year ago. She is the best friend I ever had exce]At Joe Black, and I’ll make mud of anyone who dares to call her the ‘village crank.’ ” Alberta Beaman. ’31. LUCK DE-LUXE i.ate one aftermxjn in September, at the hot com of one of those numerous long inclines on the broa ' l cement road running from Baltimore to ’ashing- ton, a])iieared “Traveling Turk.” On hrst sigh, “a k.obo” he might seem, but his clean-shaven iace and Ids nobby tie disproved t’ds For, in truth, he is Donald Rogers, heir to t ;e Bancroft Rogers’s millions. Slightly more than a year ago on the death o ' his father, he had been willed a fortune with om ' sti])ulation. Don h.r.d alwavs been a wild, reckless fellow and had never earned a cent in his life. lie si)ent money as exiiertly as h.is tather earne 1 it. ' I ' lierefore. crafty Air. Rogers knew what he was doing when he inserted in his wi ' l this chiuse — “t . possess my fortune, Donald must leave home and, without any fii ' ancial aid from friends, must travel over the United .States on his own means. stoi)ping no lomrer tlian a week in anv oim ])lace. I ' .xactlv one year from his de])arture. he must reiiort to D ' . (Ireggs. mv life-long friend. Otherwise the for- tune shall be divided among relatives and charities.” 14 THE BARRETONE But that was not all. Don was engaged to Alice, Dr. Gregg ' s only daughter. While Bancroft Rogers lived. Dr. Gregg never spoke against this engage- ment, but the evening after Hr. Rogers ' s burial, he called Don into his study. Don. he said, “if you can carry out the plan of your father, you will not only receive the estate, but Alice, as your wife. If you fail, forget Alice. I ' m not doing this to get rid of you, Don. I know you will succeed. I ' m doing this for the benefit of -Alice and you. A ou know yourself that you have been uncommonly wild in your youth; that you still are. Turn over a new leaf, Don. You can do it. I have spoken to Alice and she agrees with me on this. Report to me one year from to-night by eight o ' clock. Good-bye, and good-luck. From six o ' clock that morning, with the excep- tion of an hour during which he had satisfied his hunger with two sandwiches and some “borrowed tomatoes from a roadside garden, Turk had been on the road and had not yet reached Washington, his destination. Y ' alking was slow, and his only lift was a four mile ride in a darky’s “caterpillar.” Thereafter, proud Dame Fortune ignored him. “Golly ! he muttered to himself, looking at the sun, which served as his “Big Ben.” It’s almost five o ' clock, and here T am still twenty miles from Washington. I’ve got to get a ride or I’ll only dream of the city to-night.’’ “Toot ! Toot !’’ sounded a horn behind him. Turk stepped aside and. as the auto flew past, he cried. “Lift?” Rut the driver, his attention fixed on the long hill which loomed before him continued on. The same thing happened several times again and Turk pro- ceeded to the top of the hill. “On the down-grade they might possiblv stop,” thought he. as he slowly descended. He heard the roar of an approaching truck. “It might aid mv cause. There’s alwavs plenty of room in trucks.” He turned, just as it came over the crest, and waited. It was a truck owned by the Outdoor -Advertising Co.. Inc. Painted on it were some of the popular advertisements of the dav. Turk’s wave went unheeded. He grumbled indignantly. “See -America first? AYah ! They advise you to and then they don’t help you out a bit.” .After making six or seven more attempts during the course of the next mile, he plodded onward through the town of Laurel. “I ve got to get to A ' ashington before eight o clock. Aly one year is up tonight. Something radical must be done. He toiled onward slowlv. “By golly! I ' ve got it! I’ll try it, at least.” W hen he arrived at the crest of a fairly large hill, he stopped, took his red handkerchief from his pocket, and waited. His wait was almost immedi- ately rewarded. He heard a car coming and rushed to the center of the road waving his danger signal. The a])proaching motorist momentarily slackened his speed, then pushing the accelerator to the floor, swooped down upon Turk like a hawk upon its prey. But he. unlike Mr. Coolidge. chose to run and with a leap landed in the dust by the roadside. His ruse as an inspector of something or other had failed ! He slowly rose to his feet and brushed the dust from his clothes. He began to walk, but after a few steps, he halted. His ankle pained him so intensely that he realized it was sprained. It was rapidly swelling. Down on one knee he deliberated. His whole future depended upon his getting to Washington that evening. A es. he must go on at all costs. Turk pulled himself to his feet and gazed down into the valley. Xo farmhouse was in sight. Dusk was slowly coming upon the gloriously colored landscape. In depths of despondency he continued onward with a limp. Every other step served as a test for his nerve. To each car, going in his direction, he waved his hand, but still his efforts brought no result. For a mile or so he limped on. The pain had affected him so that he was pressing on in a daze. “Fate, he thought, “has decided against me. I am being punished for my early sins. All this year 1 have been learning lessons. I have tried to carry out the clause in the will, and have learned what my father wished to teach me. For three hundred and sixty-four days Lady Luck was with me. yet on this last day she sought a new com])anion ! X ' othing is over until it — Ow !” he cried with pain as he twisted his injured ankle by staggering off the road. “Golly, it’s no use going on through the darkness this way. If I go much farther. I ' ll drop in my tracks. AYs.” sighed he slowlv shaking his head. “yes. I have to give np — .” “He ' s hurt badly. came a frightened feminine voice. “We’ll have to rush him to the hospital — to AAYshington !” “AYs. was the faint response. That was enough for Turk. He kept silent while thev dragged him into the car. All his injuries and sore spots were forgotten ; he would get to his destination that evening before eight ! They headed for Washington, but alas ! When they had proceeded a short distance, the driver stopped, turned around, and headed the other way. “It’s onlv ab out three miles to Laurel.” she ex- plained. ‘We’ll get there in a jiff} ' -” Another twist of fortune! Turk’s heart stopped. Then he realized what was happening. He wanted to erv out. but something restrained him. Tears of despair rolled down his cheeks. This was life with THE BARRETONE 15 its sudden and unexpected turns. Forward the car ruslied. Around a sharp corner, an unexpected lurch and Turk was on the floor, unconscious. Turk’s eyes opened. He steadied them and gazed at the painting on the wall. He remembered this painting. Dr. Gregg’s country home, in Laurel where he had si)ent many week-ends, had one just like it. Suddenly he became aware of someone’s l)resence. He turned his head and stared — into the eyes of Alice. Behind her stood Ur. Gregg. “W ' hat time is it. Doctor?” asked Turk. “The clock is just striking eight, my boy,” replied th.e doctor. H. Puchalsky, ’31 THANKSGIVING Tony was a first class tramp, if there is such a thing. Every Thanksgiving Tony went to dine with his fellow tramps. They all met and ate in a hall that belonged to the Salvation Army. This organization spent much money each year to feed the poor and needy. Tony had dined here for the last three years. After leaving the hall this time he went to a bench in the jiark and sat down. “I wonder what fun peo- ple get out of helping others.” thought Tony. “There must be something in it or they wouldn’t do it.” In the weeks that followed, he thought much on the subject. The fact is, he thought about it so much that he became sick of it. He tried to for- get it, but he couldn’t. After a while, a change seemed to come in him. He seemed at first glance to be thinner and paler than before. His clothes were a little cleaner. His face and hands were also brighter. d ' he next ' I ' hanksgiving Day came. But Tony didn’t ap])ear at Salvation Army headquarters. He had saved ten dollars, and was spending it on a dinner for a poor family. Chester Hjehn, ’31. WHO’S WHO? As a s])ecial feature of the “ILirretone” we are ])resenting to you a group of seven well-known characters. W ' e ho])e that y ju will enjoy identify- ing each of them. In case any prove hard to guess, you will find the answers among the adver- tisements. ( 1 ) Ladies and gentlemen; standing uneasily before you now two men make their appearance, who although small in size, are large in mind. Do not let tlieir beauty sway you, but receive them for what they are. These men have not only received the world’s prize for the most beautiful beards, but also, through ceaseless toil, they have manu- factured a small drop which is a great benefit to all mankind. How many lives has this drop saved, directly or indirectly, as you like it? 1 wager there is not one among you who does not know tliis drop and who has not some feeling of grati- tude toward these men who spent the greater irart of their lives thinking out its formula. It not only soothes the throat but stops that treacherous and uncomfortable tickling. It has a most delicious flavor, that is a delight to all children as well as adults. The name of the makers is engraved and worshii)ped in the most barbarous and remote countries of the earth because they have manufac- tured such a relief for mankind. After my speech, will the man in the front row who is coughing please step forward and receive a sample of this drop with my best wishes, hoping it will cure his most disturbing cough. A.

THE VALUE OF A SCHOOL PAPER “Cf what value is a school paper? someone may ask. Xumerous students nill reply, “It is only e.xtra work and bother. few townspeople will add. “It hampers the work of the students. However, a majority of the answers will favor a school paper, as it oft’ers a great oi)]K)rtunity to the students. By means of a school jiajier the students are able to express their views on important local to]i- ics and to discuss other subjects in which they are interested. All in alb a school pa])er seems to stimulate far better work on the part of the pu- ])ils. !t aids in their training by placing responsi- bility u])on them and teaching co-operation, wh.icli is essential in business. In addition it in- creases th.e general knowledge of all its readers, and the home and the school are brought closer to- gether. THE BARRETONE 17 EDITORIAL CHOOSING A NAME How (U you like the name we have ehiKseu. ; Don ' t _ ’on tlimk it is original 1 his is how w e ha])j)ene(l to iiiid it. In assemhly, Air. Dawson ])ro])ose(l that we a!’ lielp m naming onr new magazine. He suggested that we ]nit onr names inside an envelope, and jirint the title we chose on the outside. When the envelopes came in. the editorial staff met to look over the names. There were several original ones in the pile. “Splinters” was sug- gested because it would he typical of a Henry Woods High School paper. “The Rarre Bugle. “The Echo,” and “The Siiectator” were among the best. However, the one we thought most fitting for the magazine was “The Barretone,” suggested bv Shirlev Swan. In inventing this name, she showed much originality, and we owe her manv thanks for giving our periodical such a delight- fully suggestive title. i CO-OPERATION Co-operation must exist in any successful un- dertaking. Ask anyone wdiat is tlie leading factor in the making of a successful career, and ten to one, the iierson whom you ask will give anv an- swer but co-operation. A ' et, think it over, and you will find that co-o])eratiou is the answer. In a football game most s|)ectator.s observe only the man with the ball, and to him goes the credit if a gain is made, ’et, if any of the other ten men fails to do his duty by the fraction of a minute, the man with the ball, having no su] port from his team-mates, may easily be caught, and it will be a loss for them instead of a gain. Eikewise in r ' ool where a few endeavor to be agreeable ano diow good school s])irit but lack sui)i)ort from their fellow-studeuts. the entire school is unsuccessful in its undertakings. On the other hand,, if team w ' ork is exhibited in a school, friendshi]) reigns and great achievement is made. d ' here are f)ther states of affairs in wdiich co-oi)- eration is necessarv. Imagine what foreign diffi- culties we should have without co-operation. Peace would not exist. Therefore co-operation leads to terms of agreement. How many famous orators can you name wdio have not stressed co-operation at one time or an- other? How many northern hearts in 1850 w ' ere not impressed by Daniel Webster’s ])rinciples of union “one and inse])arable” ? How many of us have not heard that famous auotation. “If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand?” ' Did Benjamin Franklin’s prophecv, “Unit- ed we stand, flivided w ' e fall,” have anv particular reference to our wars? Yes, in fact, co-operation meant American independence. Thus we see that co-operation must exist in everv successful undertakiup-. We in Rarre High h-ivp manv opnortunities of seeing this fact prov- ed for are we not proud of our spirit and readi- ness to co-operate for the good of our school ? SCHOOL SPIRIT The school spirit of the classes of Rarre High was clearly illustrated one Friday morning. Mrs. Bov’d, ‘The Barretone” facTdt ' arlvisor. announced in assembly that she woukl like to see how ' soon each class could get a lOO f subscri])tion list for our magazine. Peter Neri, Sophomore class jiresi- dent, brought in a lOO f list of fortv-five sub- scrijitions for tbe class of ’,52 wu’thin ten minutes. Less than two hours later. Henrv Puchalskv. Ju- nior class i)resident. also brought in a 100% list of thirty-five subscriptions. HELPING HANDS uu w lio have so generously given your adver- ' isements have made possible the publishing t)t this little magazine. Because of the coo])eration of the merchauls of Rarre, .Athol, and Worcester we Iniw obtained sufficient means to make our “ B.irretone” a successful euteriudse.

THE MAGAZINE DRIVE riic annual magazine drive was a decided finan- cial success this year. Subscriptions were sold for the Crowell and Curtis publishing companies. The pupils were divided into two teams, each team trying to beat the other in selling the most subscri])ions. Gladys Abbott was the manager of the drive. The team leaders were Clara Carter and Francis McOueston, and their assistants were Peter Pauli and Alae ilson. The drive lasted from Tuesday. Oct. 1. . till Wednesday. Oct. 2.k Prizes for selling subscrip- tions were awarded to the students. Those who distinguished themselves by selling the most mag- azines were Kathryn Dolan. Clyde Swan, and Charles Dean. The contracts with both compan- ies were fulfilled, and a bonus of ten cents on each subscription was received from the Curtis Com- pany. The profit was put in the treasury of the Athletic Association. THE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA W hen the orchestra was reorganized in Septem- ber under the direction of Miss Chase, twenty- four ])ui)ils resi)onded.

ALUMNI Since Barre High School was founded in the year 1852, it has had an ever increasing group of alumni. L’p to the present time there have been between fifteen hundred and two thousand. These make up the Barre High School Alumni Associa- tion. ' J ' his association holds its meetings once ever}- two years. The last one was held June 20, 1920. The officers are; F resident, Dr. Harlan Angier ; secretary. Miss Dorice Knight; treasurer. Dr. (j. Percy Brown; executive committee. Miss Helen Clilmore, Miss Miriam Ivllsworth, and (leorge 1 ' . Smith. J-larre High is fortunate in having such a heljiful association. It is continually striving to aid the lligh school in all ways within its means. At the present time the association is doing its best to secure an athletic field for the High school. ' Phe association intends to give all its hel]) and is in- tensely interested in the welfare of the High school. Ifarre High has been well reiiresented in the various colleges and other schools of higher edu- cation of the country during the Jiast years.

Work alike for school and fame. Be scpiare and honest. Play the game. Richard Riley, ' 31. Barre Fair “If at first you don’t succeed. Try, try again.’’ This is evidently Barre High School’s motto in regard to her recent victory at Barre Fair over her competitors. For many years Barre has been just under the margin that is required to win. The larger schools, such as Ware High and David i’routy, have barely nosed her out of victory until this year. This September, however, the victory was scored easily, and showed the fine spirit with which the students entered the race. Ihe cheering section carried away the cup for a touchdown, being the best in the history of the school. I his. we are sure, was made possible only by the co-operation of “Tiny” and ‘Wlac,’’ our be- loved cheer leaders. The jmint winners in the track events were as follows ; BOYS 100 yards. H. Puchalsky, 3rd 220 yards, Lamacchia. 4th 440 yards, Ffiichalsky. 4th 8 S0 yards, Maki, 2nd .Shot Put, Harrington, 2nd; Wditala, 3rd Pole ’ault. Wiitala, tied for 1st; W ' ’akelin, tied for 3rd High Jump, Harrington, Wiitala, Chandler, Wake- lin tied for 3rd Broad Jump, no places GIRLS 75 yards, Polak, 1st; Stoner, 2nd Girls’ Relay, 1st, Stoner, Polak, Wilkauski, A. Me- Andrew, Crawford, Swan, Abbott, and Sevits- kus making up the team. Girls’ Broad Jump, Wilkauski. 1st; Stoner, 2nd Girls’ High Jump, W ilkauski, 1st Both teams made a fine showing, especially the girls’. Annie Wilkauski made a standing broad jump of 7 feet, 11 inches, the world’s record be- ing 8 feet, 5 inches. Both Lamacchia and Har- rington of the boys’ team scored, although this is their first year on the track. The teams were well balanced. .Although they took few firsts, they made np their points with seconds, thirds and fourths. If the teams continue the same effort and co-operation, we shall be looking for a big clean- up next season. Field Day Each year one of the important events at Barre High is the “Inter-Class Aleet.’’ The last one took place a few weeks after Barre Fair and was won bv the Juniors and .Sophomores, who were united against the .Seniors and Freshmen. The winners in each event received a definite number of points which were added together for the final score. The events were as follows : 100 yd., 220 yd., and 880 yd. dashes, and the girls’ relay race. Among the minor events this year were a back- ward race, a three-legged race, jockey and wheel- barrow races, and a tennis tournament. There were also contests in football and baseball throw- ing. Other important and thrilling events were the tug-of-war and the bicycle races. Footba ll Due to the lack of equipment and a field on which to play, Barre High School did not organize a football team this fall. It is hoped that in years to come we will have a field and the necessary ecpiipment, in order to show the ability of the boys in this greatly favored game. In spite of these hindrances, the Freshmen and Junior boys were successful in forming teams. Each team, dressed in old clothes, played a game in a field near the school. The use of the field was given bv an alumnus. Raymond Allen. Al- though the field was rough, it served the purpose for the huskies of both teams. Due probably to their experience in playing together in other sports, the Juniors had better team work than the Freshmen. The latter, how- ever. put up a good fight to the very end of the game. One of the best players on the Freshman team was Tom Panaccione, who, although short and light, brought down his man almost every time. Toward the end of the game the Freshmen made a vain attempt to score, pushing the Juniors down the length of the field until thev were stopped by a Junior within a few yards of the goal line. Juniors raced down the field for the final touch- It was within the last two minutes that the down. Two long forward ])asses. thrown by Lotighman and received by Puchalsky. were spec- tacular events of this advance. The game ended with a final score of 28-0 in favor of the Juniors. THE BARRETONE 23 Basketball Schedule The intcrclass basketball games at Barre High SeluK)l will commence in a short time. The games are under the supervision of M r. Leroy Lawson and Miss Mary Neal. The managers have arranged the following schedules : Junior and Senior boys play December 10th. Junior and Senior girls play December 12th. Freshman and Sophomore bovs plav December 17th. Freshman and Sophomore girls play December 19th. It is e.xjjected that the two winners and the two losers will play after Christmas.
