Prom that time they have taken care of us through sickness and health, giving all their attcntioiSL to make us the non and • ' . ' onen of the next generation, have taken these things for faith, slwogr.s knowing that our parents would not desert us. That faith has grown and expanded from the small family circle, to which v;o were confined during our early years, to those wo come in contact with every day, to our friends, and to the loaders of our state and nation, V c have faith in the teachers who have guided us through the twelve most important years of our lives. Their patience and under- standing have bridged many a. gap that night have led to destruction. Now as wo prepare to have the shelter of their guiding and protection leave us, we have faith that they have set us on the right road t o happ ino s s and success, Ac the ominous war clouds role up around us from Asiatic and European countries, we shudder to think of the inhumanity of it all. We can easily visualize the men and boys, who gave up tho comforts of homo and tho prosperity of a froc country In tho faith that all non should be brothers and that the world should bo made safe for democracy. In no time of war or peace has there been such a need of faith. We must have faith in our loaders who havo boon chosen to gniide us through this struggle v hich may oxtorminato man from tho earth. Above all we must have faith in God. His liand controls our every action, and without God wo are as nothing Fenton Carruth fio w ocf iieliy3«A;iatJb od eibrtJtn yuso-r n$so aonkZ itorfj? .bovoX OYT o otli al rfootrJjjj Cif5 or ovorl ow ,3flo iw ctf J oX ion bljiow ainofioq � ttro io Ii worat ov ,eroic iarsXl rtx o econaloia rf;) jo� ifIi bat lo o iao noaXoi ovjod iafli norf 4XI0I bnxj noj’ f ofli.Bif oalon ci jjoj.l ' xoiijs «i.f:cxli IXn rfilnojl brie nol c;;nirli oaorfi noy-Ui ovori tft’ .ncXii3«ijn 3 ixon orfi io ncco ; .Bj;; i oeob ion Jbli ov einerrac nwo i itl i 3nX� fOfnI ,oXaiXo XXJ3i;:o orii f:Q-sl bobrtarxo bos rr.vcn eai{ rfiXal inrT 31100 ow oeorli oi q ooy T:iro aX ' Xud!) bonX ' i ico otow otf x’oxrfw Ic Q tobxioX oxli oi .XtfUD eftftoXTCl iwo oi i ob y‘ C ' V xliXvr iooinco nt .-iriio i brji oiaio ixro 5 . ofll xl3xrbniii aj; bo£ i«a ovoxl criw o ' xofloxjoi o li iiX rfiXol ovnri o i -lobni bnc oonolific: ' tlo.rfX .qovXX iiro I0 cinox irusiicqnX ieoxi oT ovvi .rrcXiofinisob oi bol ovorf irf Xn iaxli ri?3 a bo biacf ovul rrlbrju- a xioXiooioir bna i nXbXxc iXorii lo luiXoiis oxli ova l oi o ' laqo ' ifi ow oc woH boo ! ifl .;.l j orii r;o axr iOB ovorf xliXol ovod o { cu ovc i . , . «ttooooos brj3 B onXrftiJd oi .tit . bno oXioXeA xio� i1: tu bniwrro qa oLort ebuolo inu aitonlno odi cA iX lo x XnaJiiixririX oili I0 fnfxli oi ♦lobbifrie ow i oXiinx oo xooco xij 2I odi ou QVb j oriw (OXocT bno iiOM.orii ©siXoi eXv xiXcJ o rtao ©V ,XXjb diXal orii nX riini co 00 11 a Ic x - ' toqsoaiq oxfi bno oiiori lo aincV 0 abac ucT bXwcrti bI iow c ii iadi tai 6 t«rlio«id od bXJtroria fton XXa iadi ' ♦XOjnocn.ob xr l oloa •diXal lo boon a riowe noocf onorli aad ooooq 10 law lo o:iXi on oZ obXxc oi noacfio xtoocf ovnri cdv enobacX Ix o fil diXnl ovori isuri oSt .riir o orii notl xxoa oisnimoixo xori riolriw oX w ia eXrii rf3Jjo irii aw } I - . . •iwo aXoiinoo bead bXH tijoS nX riiXal ovnri iaxn ow XXn oyodA � 3r:iriiort ac o ta ow boO ' iworiiXw bna aoldoa x o o i ■ ’ ( rii ' nnO noino ! • .. 7 i :i . r ■ ' ' V i ' .” .- 1 OUR FUTURE After the close of this school year, thousands of higii school graduates will go out into the world to face an unprecedented future. It will be either the most prosperous or the darkest possible outlook. The prime factor v hich v ill deterraine their future is the present European conflict, which is killing youths and sending millions of dollars of property to destruction. The second determining factor- will be the status of the United States, whether she remains neutral or changes to a belligerent. The third determining factor will be the longih of the wo.i , should the United States enter. If the UnitoG States remains neutral, which experts declare a remote possibility, the future will be very bri t. The plans to in- crease our armaments plus the business of foreign nations will bring about increased employment. Thus the chances for work for graduates are much greater. If we should scrap our neutral standing for the belligerent rat- ing, wo can only anticipate the worst. Modern warfare with its un- limited horrors will kill many more men in a considerably shorter time than the first V orld V ar. Our entrance into the war would not affect the graduates at first but if conditions v arrant the need of more men, the age limit might drop to eighteen. A prolongation of the war would make the youths available at twenty-one. Although wo would have a transitory period of economic prosperity the war would have inevitable and serious repercussions on the econo- mic conditions as did the first great war. V e would also have the overhanging threat of a serious interna- tional epidemic of contagious diseases. These obstacles face the graduates and cannot be overcome by the individual himself. Time alone discloses their future. Charles R. Puliafico ii ' !) :C’io ' ■ JV. n.,j • ' • _ ;k: , ; :,., . ' :; ‘ I ' .: ■ . .. ■ :) ' 7 ' ■ ' - ■ •- •r «Xc ' ' X ' ■ jn. ' . ' Xijjr joov. L .TCf.

' - j i i-.itiQ J SADD3R, BUT V ISER? Dusi-c had fallen over the town of Centerville , and darkness was slowly approaching as is castoiic ry on v arr.i spring niglits. Over in the residential section the young gentlenon had already begun pushing their ladyfriends’ doorbells. Yes, indeed, ronance was in the air; but it was by no ueans confined only to the front porches. Around back of £’ certain spic and span white cottage, spry j ' oung Miss Tabby sat alone, looking dreamily at the faintly gloaming stars. There is not a doubt but that if it had not been her first courting season. Miss Tabby would not be so alone. For when it came to feline charm, there was not another of this spring’s sub-dobs that quite compared. It was the first evening Mother Cat had allowed her daughter to ven- ture about the yard unchaperoned. lust now Tabby was recalling a conversation she had had vith Blackie, the kitten across the street, ’’The best catch of the season, Blackie had announced, is with- out doubt Jon than, Tabby knev all about Jonathan. He had a repu- tation for being the cleverest tom-cat in the neighborhood. Sonehov he alv ays j anagod to keep his black coat looking sleek and handsome. Little chance I have of catching his attention, sighed Tabby, v hen there are all those older, more experienced cats to beguil him. Suddenly Tabby turned her head. In the midst of her reverie she had heard a soft padding of feet. Now she was greeted by a very mas- culine meow. Her heart fluttered, and she looked coyly at her paws, for the object of her dreams was before her. In true cat-wooer fashion, Jonathan opened the conversation. Good evening, my dear little Tcabby, he said. 1 Vhat do you find so interesting in those stars? Oh, sir, Tabby demurely answered, I was wondering if the milky way really has as much milk as its name implies, Ho, ho, little girl, laughed Jonathan. Don ' t you knov ? That is nothing but a band of stars. The statement had the aesired effect upon Tabby, for she kitten- ishly drooped her whiskers, which act is equivalent to a hur.ian blush. Jonathan liked to give the opposite sex an i,.-prcssion that he had been around and had picked up a little knov ledge here and there. So with the conversation started off on the right foot, Jonathan proceeded to v oo Tabby, and she, with just the right amount of reti- cence, allowed him to. The following night Jonathan again mot Tabby on the back stoop. In fact, every night for a v oek he came around to call and gallantly professed his love to her. Because of this favorable state of affairs Tabby was sure she had ner man. Then one night Jonathan failed to make his usual call. The young lady waited first with her tail curled around her foot, then with it flat behind her, and finally as time wore on, it became a furry danger signal v rving straight in the air. All sorts of doubts crossed Tabby’s mind. An accident might have befallen her lover. She put aside that thought as too horrible. Suddenly her v oman’s intuition made her wonder if, just bj ' - chance, Jonathan might have tarried at that house where there were six eli- gible debutantes who had a reputation for getting their man. Her first impulse to such o thought was to hurry to the scene and make T ■; ...u ' ...-ir ' ; ■. . 81 ■ ' 10 J, ' ; C ' -: . ' Cj IJflilJ ' J ' • , .

For the next few nonents she wavered back and forth, trying to convince herself that Jonathan v as her property and she had a right to go after him. But, though Tabby knew little about the nilky way and astronony, she had road every one of Sraily Post ' s lessons on eti- quette and knev tha;t it v as not proper for a 1 ' .y to do the pursuing. She had almost abandoned the iuca when she sat bolt upright and iicowed aloud, Why this is leap year. This rcnarkable truth so en- couraged her that she padded softly down the stairs and hustled out to the street, being careful that Mother Cat should not observe her departure The street before the house with the six flirtatious cats was barely more than an alley, bordered by teneuont houses. Just at the corner of the alloy Tabby hoard soneono speak, 7 hy, Tabby, what on earth are you doing out so late? Jonathan asked in aiiazoiient , Looking for you, gulped the fair lady in eiibarrassncnt , Y hy, I have been catching rats in Jones ' s garage ever since six o ' cloc ' :, Jonathan replied in quick defense. If the truth were known Jonathan had heard of a ncw-couer to the neighborhood. Out of curi- osity he had wandered over to nect her and found her eyes such heav- enly balls of green fir-c thathe couldn ' t tear hinscTf av ay until just ton minutes ago. It v as a much ashaiied young lady that followed Jonathan into the alley. Here the latter began to case his conscience by declaring his undying love to Tabby. In true cat fashion he warmed to the subject until the residents of the tenements were aroused from their sluLibers These folk followed tno instinct of a human being when aroused by the weird howl of a cat in the dead of niglit. Vvhen the first shoo caiie v hirling to the ground only a foot away from the couple, Tabby looked to Jonathan for help. But by this time a flower pot and several pans v ere making quarters close for comfort; and he darted off into the darkness, leaving poor Tabby to care for hei self. Not knov ing the neighborhood, c ' ..o fled in the wrong direction and ran straight into a bucketful of cold water. By the time Tabby had reached safety, she was a pretty disil- lusioned kitty. Here she had exposed herself to ridicule by ciiasing after a ton-cat. Ax d v hat did she find at the end of the chase bur a vain, selfish wooer who never thought of her in tines of danger. Sadly she shook her head. S.ao ' d kno better next time. Her motto would be: Look before you leap Elaine Johnson „ . a. 3 � « . i54 ' ti i h: ' iJ t..- ' ;! ’’• - ' ' ' •ii - ' 4 Q v.;: ' pU.l... ..iid ' i. - -’ .1 j : no a..0: 3, : ‘ ■ ’• S !f: luc;: . n . r ' , . ..

Jerry, Jack, and Slira had enlisted in the R.A.F. when the war broke out in the fall of ' 39. These three Canadian lads had con- sidered themselves lucky that they v erc in England and could enlist immediately v hcn the Gorman Blitzkrieg rolled into Poland. They were examined, outfitted, and hustled off to training camp. Jerry, freck- led and joyous, Jack, quiet and calm, and Slim, hotheaded and impetu- ous, wore inseparable and v ore called ' The Three Canuks by the other pilots . V hilo the boys were training, they joked of the way in which they would treat the Germans. ’’Wait till I got one of those ' Einkel bom- bers around,” boasted Jerry. ”I’ll make his name mud or mine ain’t Jorry.” Slim was about to voice tne same opinion v hen the night air was filled with a high-pitched, droning roar. The pilots hardly had time to rush cut side, v7hen a series of explosions rent the air. The barracks and a hangar burst into flames, several men folded up, and the dive bo.abers fled as swiftly as they had come. Jack stood stunned, for of that little group that had rushed out of the barracks, he alone romainod. Jerry, kindneartod, lay in a pool of b]c d-. Jack could only stare. Suddenly througii his ben imbed sonsos, a faint moan came above the roar of the flames. He av okc to action and n-jorly stumbled over an unrecognizable J ' igure with its (.rm tern away aid its features bloody. Jack knelt ovej this borljr with a horrible st-. ' -t.. He roalizod that this corpse was his buddy. Slim. Ho bent to ;.aich the sounds issuing from the laeorcted mouth. Slim cried, Oh Gehk ' -d.s head fell back, and he v as dead.. The stretcher - ' ..c arers found Jack where he had fainted over the bodj- of his dr-a.d Jiionid , They carried him to a shelter, v hero he v as rov?TGd. He ?oon ;c blank for a moment ana then remembered the tv70 fr ' rnds v.in: w;. old ray and never sing again. There and then he vov ed that the u.i.-imy would pay and pay and pay for the lj.ves of Jerry and SI: m Tne r ' .ext xring Jacx v as waiting with 200,000 other British Tom- mies” for the expected blitz through the lov countries. By now he was an expert pilot vnth four planes to his credit. When the drive came, he v as up from davrni to dusk scouting, convoying bombers, and dogfighting , One day a group of bomber-f ighters dropped out of a cloud on the vengeful Jack. Their pianos v ere faster, but the pilots were loss Sxkillful, The enemy planes got in each others way and Jack sent three dovrni before something grazed his head and blotted out vision. He vdpod his eyes and his hand carae away bloody, a bullet had grazed his forehead. Vdthout further ado he headed for home and landed his ship riddled v ith bullet holes. The doctor, v ho bound up the wound, said to Jack, Bettor be careful of this. You ougiit to take a fur- lough and heal that v ound.” Jack laugiiod, I’ve got an old debt tc settle, and I intend to get mj full payment.” A young German pilot was up for his first flight over the front. Suddenly at sunset, out of 3 cloud came a British fighter. Unswervingly it held to its courso duo v;ost. The youth chased the piano and sent several drums of buk ' lets into it, but tlio plane hold to its course as before. In thaw plane sat Jack, his staring eyes sightless, and his body raked with steel- jacketed bullets. He and his plane, with its control locked in neutral, were flying into the sunset to meet his pals in the Great Beyond, Norman Carruth 1 V TliE EASY ' ,7AY Tiio traveler iiad stopped anotlicr autonobilo to ask directions, but vrlien they had been r lvcn, the ii:ni?ircr hesitated.

It s a Ij.ttle longer around througn Oakloigh, but the road ' s riuch snoother, I don’t suppose there is very nuch to see in Oakleigh. This conversation reveals a proriinont spirit of this nodorn age. This spirit asks not what is nost worth while but v hat is easiest. The two high sophomores, talking over their plans for the future, shov ed the same tendency. No, you don’t want to go to Sanford, said one of then in an- sv er to Oiis companion. If you don’t inke a certain grade, they drmp you at the end of the first tern If 3 ou go to Yvaterbury you can scrape by on most any standing - ’■ In this y ' ung nan’s mind, the question was not to find the school where ho v ould get the best education but v here he could got the easiest education. The thing that 3 oung people do not realize is that the easiest way is not always the best vray. The way to make rhe nost of our liv s is tu nick the cjurso that is .’xt the easies-b. The great men of the v orld v ould not have been so if they had shirked the hard road and taken the easiest. The easy way is the way wc should avoid.

In the span of these four years, I have learned to adniro and respect ny teachers. Here is hov I vdll renenber then in the future. Mrs .Boyd , ny English teacher for four years, has been patient (for the nost part) while teac hing her pupils the fundanentals of the English language. She is very seldom in a bad huiuor but when she is... ,I have noticed especially, that v henever a pupil is in trouble v ith his or her work, she is always there to help. So nere ' s ny appreciation in saying that I was very fortunate in having her as ny tcachor for four years. Miss Carroll , you have probably noticed has been growing kind- t hearted, She must like the Class of 1940 very much, because from y nat we hoar of her from past-graduates , she used to be very strict. However, you underclassnen better not figure on her being the sane next September, because we won’t be hero then. All in all, though, she is one swell teacher, and I an sorry that we must leave her this coming June. Mr . Daws on will probably forget in a few years that our class nas ever been at Barre High, but in spite of this ho has been a v on- uerful teacher to us, and wo vdll miss his daily excursions to his old camping rounds in Maine and Vermont, 7 e will remember for a , long time to come, his naval experiences in Russia and other corners of the world, 1 1 lj Miss Heath will probably remember in the future the Class of y 1940, Silo will probably say, os all teachers do when a class is j ready to gradu: to , that ours was the best class that she has ever taught, but, deep in her mind, she will remember experiences that i woulc. not reflect favorably on the class, Althougli she doesn’t talk I much (outside classes), she is earnestly trying to teach her pupils ( the beautiful French language, as only she can teach it. _ Miss Kirby will remember our special typing class, if I am not mistaken. Hot, can she forgot the happy oxporiencos that have oc- currea every seventh period. For example, Angelo Cornacchia’s slow, rytnmical typing as he patiently tried to catch up v ith the rest of tne class, ana Roger Dahart’s furious bang of the carriage as he made a mistake. Miss Kirby often tries to look serious in class, but before the period is over many smiles she has given us because of our non-typing abilities. mr_j — Casey and Mr , Allen will alv ays remain in my memory as the two famous coaches of Barre High, Mr. Casey and his track team en- torea every meet v ith zeal and enthusiasm, but would usually come ack Vvith perfect alibis as to v hy they were beaten for second or tnird place, Mr, Allen, on the other hand had more success, and he always has a good year with his baseball-minded lads. Mis _ o] and Lass riagee round out this noted faculty of Barre High. Miss Magee is noted for her ability of toing the head of the aebating club at Barre High School, She is a newcomer here, this year. Miss Dole is noted for being the head of the group of pupils that usually meet at 12:20 in room eight.

Two debates have been held before the students. They seemed to be enjoyed. First of all there are nuraorous advantages of debating to the debaters them- selves. Since debate speeches are limited to a certain nuraber of mi- nutes, debates must mahe all their points in a short time. Every minute and every sentence counts; so unimporta nt and useless words are discarded. This practice not only tends to make good public speakers, but it also helps roake better conversationalists. The rebuttal in a debate makes the debater think fast on the spur of the moment. This exorcise is good for the mind and prepares the student to think fast in other emergencies. Debating also helps the participant to keep v ell informed. When questions are given him, ho must not only look up his side of the questions but also the other- follow’s. Thus ho has a thorough understanding of both sides of the question, Nov let us consider the advantages to the students, Fuicmost is the fact that they become muejn bettor informed from the debating. They get a chance to hoar both sides of the question, and then they can form their own opinions. They also can learn what to say and what not to say when speaking before a crov d by noticing the effect on the audience. All in all, v o na ?- having a debating club. say that Barro Kifii School has profited by Paul Cutting KNITTING CLUB The Senior girls have completed their knitting, and the finished goods have been sent as o contribution to the Junior Red Cross of 7i orcostor. Tiiose v;ho have made mufflers are Delia Dombrov a, Asenath Rice, Josephine Puliafico, Carmella Sidotc, Lmc Struckowski, Teresa Llalozzi, Eva stone, Helen Do.qil, Dorotny IHr-lov , and Mari e Shaughnessy Helen Dugul also knitted a man’s sv oater, the only one in the class, Tnc girls started the kni.tting v ith great cjithusiasm, but a fov v eeks later, some of them decided they couldn’t handle the needles and they dropped out. Most of the girls had never before seen tho v ork done, but they did their best to learn, v ith Miss Dole, Miss Kirby, and Mrs. Boyd as their instructors. Holen Dogul developed such skill in this art that nov she is an expert. Despite short noon hours and the tine taken up to servo poaches and grapefruit, the v ork kept on. The short strolls do n town during noon left only a few minutes for some girls to knit, but these certain X)eople took their ork home nigiits and v orked on it then. Most of the mufflers and the sweater v ero done one hundred per cent by the girls themselves. Delia Dombrowa ro ' : loy r- .] , jjj A a ' .i .r . J i JUMOV .

I I OUR HIGH GCHOOL 0RCH23TRA !� ' I Our high school orchestra under the direction of JJiss Chase has had occasion to pla37- for many affairs during this past year. Among them v ere the Christmas assembO ' , senior play, Holy Cross Debate, prize-speaking contest. The High School Music Concert, Memorial Day assembly, and the .gelling match. It v;ill also play for both the Callahan Music contest and the graduation exercises. Miss Chase had hoped to enter it v ith the glee club at the y estorn Massachusetts Music Festival held in Athol, but because it cannot be classified as either an orchestra or a band, she was unable to do it. Although it is composed of only nineteen pieces, it has done remarkable v7ork. This is because all enjoy playing in it. Many of its mombers v ish- that the orchestra period could last longer than it does. This year the orchestra will lose five of its mombers by graduation in Juno. They are Hlaino Jehnson, Marjorie Boardway, Arthur Pock, Gaynoll Stone, and Eva Stone. At the present there is no one in the school to pla the drums in place of Elaine Johnson. Marjorie Boardway V ' ill probably be replaced by Guy D’Annolfo and his shiny nev; saxophone. Guy formerly played the clarinet in the orchestra. V-. rsnica Boardway may enter with her accordian.

Puliafico 7 Tr; ■ t f A DEBATING Tho nev ly organized debating club has given two debates before the school in the last fev months. Debating has been necessarily restricted this year to audiences of pupils of Barre High School. However, debates betv een schools are very interesting, and it is ex- pected that Barre High will take part in them in the near future. Officers will be elected, and the club vd.ll have regular meetings with its members. Many pupils do not realize tho value of debating. In preparing the debate, tho student gets practise in looking up material, getting the main idea, and then writing it in a condensed form. He also learns how to arrange his raaterial so that tho facts lead to one an- other. Speaking in front of large audiences in public is a very good practise for tho debater, because after a few experiences a person gets over the nervousness that ordinaril3 accompanies public speaking. And lastly, the debater becomes very familiar with the subject of the debate , In Barre, the V omen’s Club has set aside five hundred dollars, the interest of which shall be given in prizes to the debaters. Tho Marg’- Martin Lecture committee was also interested enough to get the Hol3 Cross Debating Team to come to Barre. The pupils of Barre High School have been and vdll bo benefited by this interest. The members of the debating team vd.ll receive gold keys at the graduation exercises in recognition of their participa- tion in this new activity. The following have taken part in debates this year: Armand Jannette Charles R.

This was the beginning of plgns for a Latin Club, later named Inter-Nos, v hich restricted its membership to the twenty- two young people taking Latin for their second year. The idea was to make more real some of the customs that vie have inherited from Rome . Our meetings have included Latin songs, by the group and solos; plays depicting Roman characters; Latin games, one of interest named Vici, similar to Beano; and refreshments. The December meeting il- lustrates the viay in which our meetings tied up present day and an- cient Roman ideas. Our celebration of Christmas has incorporated several of the features of the Roman baturnalia, a pagan celebration v hich lasted from one to seven days in the latter part of December with the exchange of greetings, decorating v ith greens, exchanging gifts, singing songs, feasting, and general merrymaking. Tjie dues v hich are collected are to finance a picnic at the end of the school year and possibly the nurchase of something of use in the Latin department. licmbers of the Club Dorothy Allen Phyllis Pa quin Eleanor Backus Josephine Puliafico Norman Carrutli Dorothy Ritchie Madeline bpano Mildred Tcrroy Paul Cutting Dorothy Gav tlirop Phyllis Grimes Bette Troy Bertha Hardy Mabel Tucker Dorothy Moore George Mrin Hazel O’Donnell Ralph Young Violet Onorato Grace Panaccione c „ .-. o ' -d ' t • - .“ ... , • ' • i ' ' . � .

Recalling the Barre Visii Of Statesman Malik (Reprinted from the Barre Gazette) A feature we read with in- terest every evening is Lenten Guideposts appearing in the Worcester Gazette. Of particu- lar significance was the inspi- rational Guidepost writen by Charles Malik who has served as the General Assembly presi- dent at the United Nations. Dr. Malik presented his personal formula for the triumph of free- dom in answer to a mother who is worried about commu- nism. Harvard Student We were interested because of the depth of thought in the article and because Dr. Malik as a young man once spent some time in Barre during the summer of 1934 when he was writing his thesis for a mas- ter’s degree at Harvard. He earned his doctor of philosophy at Harvard later. Mr. Malik came to Barre from Egypt to visit a Harvard fellow, Howard Trivers, who was spending the summer at Robert C. Davis’ Cherry Hill Farm. Son of Sheik Mr. Davis was the father of Mrs. Jennie Blaisdell and she dimly remembers the interest- ing young Arab because he told fascinating stories of traveling up and down the Nile in quest of snails. His voyage on the I Nile in pursuit of snails was I in connection with research work Jhe was doing for the Rockefeller ' ’oundation ... for snails har- bored a flatworm parasite re- Charles Malik sponsible for a large percentage of disease in Egypt. Dr. Malik, a sheik and the son of a sheik, was born and brought up in Mount Lebanon, a few miles from the famous Cedars of Lebanon where King Solomon got the wood with which he built the temple in Jerusalem. Dr. Malik studied in an American Missionary High School in Beirut, was graduated from the American University in Beirut, and came to this coun- try in 1934 to take graduate work at Harvard. As a student he was a member of the Ox- ford Group. It is thrilling to reflect on the fact that a man who once found serenity in our hills went on to greater heights. will speak on “Our Country’s als.’’ He is president of the New gland Council of United World -deralists Inc. and vice-presi- nt of John Woodman Higgins mory, Inc. rangements for the event are ing handled by the Rev.

HOV SilE DID M From the verj beginning of my school life I can only remember being absent twice. The first time I was in the second grade and I had an operation on my neck. The second time I was in the sixth grade and caught the measles. I have never stayed out of school to go to the dentist, doctor, movies, or hair-dressers, I can remember coming to school when I didn’t feel like climbing out of bed. Last year I had a terrible cold, and rny motner told me that I could sta at homo. But I didn’t want to spoil my record, Mr. Dawson sent me home in the middle of the morning once this year be- cause I was sick, but I come back to school again in the afternoon This is my sixth ycariof attending school without being absent or tardy.

I iHilWT •• 11 PIISTORIC GAZING K Taere is an ancient Chinese proverb that says, Kg who knows the past can reveal the future. If this is true, the class of ' 41, with I throe years of high school behind it and one before, should find it- I self in a most advantageous position to discover what fate holds in store for it during the last lap of its academic enterprise at Barre High School, First let us retrace those tracks that vie have left in I the sands of time during the past three years in order to detoriuine how they v ill guide our footsteps in the year to come, AS fresiimen vie entered good old B.II.S. three years ago, somewhat bcv ildered, but eager and enthusiastic. Our first enterprise was the magazine drive, and we attacked it ith all the ardor and zeal that ,• honest endeavor could muster, nS did not v;in; mg did not even take third place, but that year we mgtg a contributing factor in boosting the subscription total to 329, a number never before reached. The The next spring came the fresiunan social, and although mo did not make any money on it we v ere not disappointed. V e were freshmen, new :• and inexperienced; so mg exiDccted it. The next year, hov over, vie got : off to a bad start by taking last place in the magazine drive instead i ’ of our traditionally designated third place. This might be counted as a black mark against the class of ' 41, but as there is good in everything, there v as good in this. It jilted the class to greater I activity and shov ed them v hat could x.appen if the wrong attitude v ere taken. It was a turning point in our endeavors, w’hen the Thanks- giving social carae, mo made as much or more than mg had lost on the freshraan social. The following fall vie provided sharp competition for the seniors in the magazine drive, and they onlj beat us by a tevi subscriptions. Then came the Junior Prom, the most successful in fif- teen years, as a dramatic climax to three years ' activities. From all this we can safely conclude that the class of ' 41 can look for- ward to bigger and better things next year v ith more work and greater accompli slnnent s , no a Id r,j a cTTiocfo)! .-J- ■ ' 1 ;na n-ioGon r- - oT . • ’■• ■ ' . ; ■-• L ■ .nj ■ . £il-L 4.-- B S I ' ii A A- ’ 0 J.- JUNIOR TALENT Did you ever stop to realize that the Junior Class is just over- flov ing vath talent?

She was just sitting there, a picture most rare, A vision in heaven’s ovm hue. That golden hair, that face so fair. Those eyes such a sparkling blue Gave to me that night, in the soft moonlight, A love such as I never knew. Her red lips were sweet; my heart skipped a beat, AS the moon shone dovm from on high. But clouds rauch too soon, had crossed that full moon Vi iien we whispered a sad good-bye, Though I must away, my thoughts v ill yet stay, And I’ll never forgot that romance That seemed to alight, just for us that night There at the village dance. ”A Junior i I I D-i ' STATISTICS OF JUNIOR CLaSS Freshman Year: Enrollment, September 7, 1937 69 pupils 38 boys 31 girls Pupils that left: Garmello Genovesi 7 allacG Grimes Thomas Hov Rins Frank Me Gov an Phyllis Holland 11 pupils had perfect attendance.

The future of the sophomore class of Barre Eip.h School was to be revealed at that moment. The first scene to i j oar was a larye hall. A yreat sv inj; orchestra was having a co session, Tc my amazement I rccor- nized three of my class ma- ' . cs, Guy D’Anncli.’c ,, Morris DiCicco, and Royer Skelly. They yjq7’ ' - the clarinet players of one of the most famous jazz orchestras ■-: the tiiae. The scene chanyed repl: ' !! ' . A larye beauty shop c r.r into siyht. The name princod above the door read Bertha and Company. V ondoriny what it coehid mean, I saw myself slov ly walkiny uy the stairs. I ;;as rrcctcol b our old cla.ssmatc, Bertha Flomminy. She spoke to me and yointod around the room. Seated there wore the beai ' ty operators Myrtle Keddy, Marion Ruckstelis, ajid Claire Murphy. 7 hen they had finished telliny me of their experiences after Icavlny school, the scene moved to a yreat city hospital. I iLriediatoly rocoynized the two doctors ¥ho wore talkiny as Paul Cuttiny and lormari Carruth, and two ambulance drivers standiny at their sides were none other than Bob Flint and Ernest V aterman. The nurses hurryiny to their work were our classmates, Eleanor Baclois and Phyllis Pa quin. This scene disappeared as ropidly as it had come, and I war taken next to one of the laryc radio stations. Gcorye V. ' rin, the fast announcer of the network, was takiny his place at the mic- rophone. It was a. dcliyhtful surprise when he announced that I.Tiss Bovorl;: Lake would tell of her oxporloncos in Vermont, and Hiss Mary Skelly would siny a selection. After listoniny to my classmates, the scene which appeared next in the crystal ball was a yrca.t nev spapor ofi ' ico. The star reporter, Kadclino Spano, was hurryiny in from her assiynnent. Veronica Boardway was at the t rpcw ' riter with Anyclina DiFonzo. Bette Troy war yoiny to the employer ' s office caid Buddy Haskins and Jimmy Chilleri v cre yoiny out to cover a throo-alarrn fire. The final scone was our own Barro L ' iyh School. It was noon- time, raid the tcarhors wore standiny about. I found out that Victoria Vivian was the business tcarhor. Amony the- yroup of teachers was Alfred V ilbur, Dorothy Allen, Hazel O ' Donnell, and Adrienne Guo r tin. These mcidoors of the sophomore class now tauyht at Barro Iliyh School . As this scon ' - v hon I had thanked v ard. I had had a of the rest of the faded, I realized there was to bo the fortune teller, I slowly made fine time, and I would be able to class of 1942 if I w ' ont ayaln. no more, and r.iy w ay hone - see the future Dorothy Gav throp Peeklnr through the Keyhole of Barre High School at the Sophomore Class , Let us look at the sophomore class, the backbone of Barre High. So that they v ill not be abashed by such observation, let us peek at them through the keyhole. Look who is this coming? A girl, our first this morning, a fairhaired Oakham lass, who has just come on the run from church. The soft pink angora of her sweater matches her checks and the saucy little bow tucked in her hair. She goes to the door of Room 6 and look.s at the seat behind hers. Vvliat a long sighj Has she forgotten that he is v orking on his milk route? Have you ever heard of Rebecca at the Well? 7 e have a girl from Barre who is as punctual in her morning meeting as though she had to fill the family jar with water. One look at her dark senior Adonis, and we can undcrsterid. Listeni Just for a moment I thought those bells belonged to a jester from the court of King Arthur, but I find the tinkling comes from the shoes of an apple-cheeked mischievous little girl. Would you ever think that the most competent errand-girl in the sophomore class is a n autograph collector? But she is only interested in cowboys, if you please. I shall recoimiiend her to the wild ranger from East Barre Palls i ho pla s a romantic guifear . Swinging through the door, comes the girl of many tal ents in a vivid blue gipsy dress, v hich she modestly admits she made herself . How, how about the three musketeers? I wonder, v hy they anglicized their names? Their running mate may someday be a Lowell Thomas. He practically eats the nowspapor. Out ho goes, ho is interested in more than the antics of Fritzy Ritz, Hay I recommend Wlioaties as an energy builder for the girl from Oal-ihar.i who feels as though she is going to faint at the time of every book report? Uliat ever happened to the little ' 0077 v ho was master of ceremonies at our Hallowe ' en party? ' Vhy, he is all grown up. ' If you are interested in War Hinstrel, Bimilech or Hloland, look up the little follo ' .. ' ith the big booming voice and the powerful stride. He can give you all the tips, I am certain that a very glamorous opera star v ould be delighted if she met her little tit ian-haired naj ' .io-saJvC in our sophomore class. iii I. ' lany tcCLes have been told of the spreading; chestnut tree, but no mention has boon made of the romance of the v ith the platinum hair v ho sits beneath. Then there is the yirl with the lauyhin eyes who carries a lar e rabbit ' s foot--I hear it does brin?: luck. VJho is the blond boy with the anr elic face who wears a different ring every v eek and has it the envy of all the yirls Hero comes the quietest boy in the sophomore looks as thou h ho always minds his P ' s and ' .I ' s, hear his cracks about your cosmetics, yirlsJ class v ho You should There’s nothing very startliny about the boor Jacket that ' s cominy, but how about the pockets, one marked Poor Bo:: and the other Hope Chest? Wouldn ' t it be nice to yo some- where over the rainbow with her? There arc many ways to ;in a mamd. Is that why a certa.in sophomore boy has a carrier on the front of his bicycle? Advice: He had better put rubber handles on for safe driviny. Did you ever see a dream v alkiny? She wore a dress ith bands and bows at the Junior prom accordiny to the se nior fellovi with the deep voice. Vhether she is s inyiny I.Iistress hary or The I.Ian v ith the Ilandolin , I fall for her throaty voice. I ' TowI’ll take my eye from the key-hole.

Eleanor Bernis AN IkfNFSSIOi: OP HIGH SCHOOL- -BEFO HE AND AFTEH-- On Scpteriher 6, 1930, sixty-nine knov locyc-seckiny freshnen stepped in the front door of Darre Hiyh.

Captain, Patsy DiPaizza: I feel perfect before each gime and I am never nervous. I think that this is the best team Barre High has had for a long time. Charles iuidrukonis : I ain’t x aking no statements for nobody. Peter Fnrgnoli: I alv ays feel that v e arc going to beat our opponents. I think that our team is second only to the Ked Sox. DoMinie Pranciose: I alv ays know v e ’re going to v in. I suppose, like everyone else, I am nervous but after we start I calm dov n, Vvith the team v e have now, we can certainly go to town. PLObert Millor: I always have a feeling that v e will mn. The feeling that I am apt to make errors makes me a little nervous before the game. On the whole I tliinlc v e have a pretty sound ball team. Raymond Trifilo: I think that we have a swell ball team, and I always feel con- fident that we will win. Roger Uahart: I always feel that v o v ill win although I am nervous and tense until the first ball is pitched. I have plenty of confidence that the rest of the boys will come through in the clutch.

As you have just road raost all of the ball players’ claim to be nervous beforo the start of each gane, I don ' t thinl: tim t they ere much affected by it after the game starts. You wouldn ' t think that the boys were a bit nervous if you could see then stop a fast grounr er and make a long throw to first or catch a hard hit ball deep in one of the fields.
