BLUE PRII ' IT CLASS April Fool s day of the year 1941 Tme nore than Anril Fool’ s day to many seniors. This n as the day that eight senior hoys went from Barre to Athol to enlist in a blueprint course. About six o’clock of tha.t evening we started up, and after oushin?. Bill Crowley’s car three-fourths of the way we finally arrived. The first noght - as very uneventful, and was not called a meeting for the applicants turned out in .such largo numbers that the was not enough room for them. The boys frora Barre named Tuesday night for their meeting, and after showing the instructor how to pronounce ’ ' filbur Fisk ' s name we returned to Barre. The next mooting of the class was much more exciting , ' nd wo learned of the different things that are made in different foundries This also vras the first night of our assig; ' nnents , and wo had 240 problems to do. The whole course cost us $5.25, fH.OO for the cours and. $1.25 for the book which you could keep after the course was completed. Around the fourth or fifth meeting we got our bearings and from then on, the boys from Barre led the cl-ss. The Instructor was Hr. Berad, principal of Athol High School, and having worked in a foundry once himself he was very fitted for the job of teaching Fina.lly the last meeting ni. ht came, the night when we would gr ' ' duatc. ' Jo went up there expecting a. test, but vrore- not disappointed when the instructor s- ' id, ’’You have done so well I don’t think a test is ii ' ccssary . ” The last ni.ht I’ e wore riven blueprints from the Union Tvjist Drill and the Sta.rrctt Tool to look o- er, .‘-.nd wc discovered we vrere qualified to enter any machine shop around here. After this mo ting, went do n to Athol -nd colebr-ted, ' orry th-t our blueprint reading course was over so soon. The boys who comr ' lctod the course were Bill Bechan, Bill Crowley, Joe Higgins, ' iTa.rron Clark, Uilfred Roberts, Donald Horne, Ch ' ’rlos Pra.tt, and Wilbur Fisk. Joseph Higgins 41
