DEDICATION In this V ar Year of 1942, we have the honor of dedicating the Barretone Yearbook to 92 former students of Barre High School now engaged with the armed forces of the United States, Some of our boys are in the army within our borders; others have been transported across the Seven Seas. Some are in the Navy, patrolling the infested Atlantic; others are known to be in the thick of Pacific warfare. Some are amomg the marines in all parts of the globe; others are pilots or mechanics in the far-flung air corps. To these boys from Barre High School we express our pride in their service to our country, our hope for their welfare and success, and our prayer for their safe return. after the v orld has been freed from tyranny.

V. ..fr THE ROLL OF HONOR As the school year of 1942 comes to a close, we find our beloved country in the midst of a terrible v orld-wide conflict. As a result, boys, our boys, are marchius to the battlefields, from which many v ill never return. In viev ' of this fact, a new feature has been added to this year’s Barretone. A list has been compiled of all those v ho having atten .ed Barre High School are now in some divi- sion of the armed forces of America. The committee in charge of this feature is as follov s: Bette Troy Katherine Bullard Fannie Caranci Charles Puliafico Mary Puliafico Angelina Salvadore Edward Pov ers Nancy Coppolino Rita Harty Ernest Waterman The committee was assisted by Mrs. Boyd and Mr. Dav son. If the name of any former student at Barre High School who is in active service of the United States has been omitted because his affiliations wero not known to us, v e wish to extend our regrets. We have made the list as complete as we have lonovm hov;.

S y ♦ A - ' V ' v., u: ' V- : vii-f ACEDIIS R13US For the first tine in many years Anerica’s thousands of gradu- ates are not just another enploynent problen at a tine when there are not enough jobs to go around. On the contrary, they are ur- gently needed to fill the positions vacated by the nen who have left to serve in the arned forces or our nation. Quite unlike previous years, it is not nerely the graduates ' privilege to work, but their duty. While our soldiers are at canp and at the front, we nust do our part on the hone front until we can join then. It is not for the graduates alone to work; underclassnen as well should contribute their bit during vacations and after classes. Everyone nust do his or her part until this titanic struggle is won, ' and won in such a nanner that the few Nazis, Fascists, and laps that are left won’t soon forget it. The graduates of 1942 have been placed ”in the nidst of things” by the arns of destiny. Their enthusiasn coupled with their opportunities will go far to give then a good start in life. ' In previous years the graduates did not lack any of the enthusiasn, but they did lack the opportunities that are present today. Some of the older generation, and even a few of the younger, will argue that launching your ship of destiny on a rough choppy sea, torn by strife and danger, is anything but an ideal start. Granted it is not the ideal; it is far fron it, and anyone who is tempted to boast of his high wages and his prosperity will do well to renenber that high wages and prosperity are only one side of the picture. On the other side millions of young nen gave up ' their jobs, left their hones, and marched off to meet a ruthless foe. Renenber, many nay never return. Many of this year’s graduates v ill enter the arned forces this summer; the others w’ 1 1 find their v ay there in a year or so. No natter when they go in, they will be fortunate to be ”in the midst of things”; yes, fortunate to havo a personal part in lick- ing the Axis. In later life the satisfaction of having engaged in this crusade to save the world will be compensation for hardships suffered en route. To be left out of this struggle would mean a severe blow to any red-blooded young American who really remembers Pearl Harbor, and who already has a brother in the service. To got ’’into the midst of things” is the ambition of hundreds of thousands of young men of the class of ’42, Hitler and Tojo haven’t a chance. 1 ;, .■ � ‘‘ ' v ' v,ar ora j V:;r : ■ :- � Si,- ' .

' .V A ' i At the part in the can must do this war to present time, with the United States taking most extensive war in its history, each and his share in the efforts of our government a sat ‘.sfaotoiy and hurried end., a leading every Ameri- to bring Let us live a day with John Jones, an ideal American citizen. Mr. Jones arises at A.M. It is darker than usual, for the clocks have been moved ahead one hour to coxiserve electricity for national defense. He has been cold all- night long, for the family was just a little too i.ate in their attempts to purchase blankets. The Vvoolen mill has tuened to producing blankets for the fighting men of our army, na-Avy, and marine corps, .Among the clothing that Mr, Jones wears are pants Vvuth no cuffs a suit coat with no l -pels, and shoes without rubbe r heels or soles. He could not buy a rest at all. A red, whito, and blue V for victory is fasten ;;! to his upper coat pocket. V hen he turns on the radio, a news co ' nmentator oorts the IrUest vmr flashes. Y hen he goes to the door to get tho morning paper and a bottle of milk, ho finds the newspapor almost entirely filled with war news. The milk is not there, for the milkman delivers milk only every other day in order to save tires for national defonso. At breakfast one lump of sugar to each cup of coffee is the limit. Because ho bad tn ; good fortune of buying four new tires just before rationing started and because he was a defensu ■ ' .- orkcr and had obtained a E-1 gasoline rationing card, Mr. Jones drives to v ork in his own car. Today was pay-day, and Mr. Jones finds that his pa:, envelop... hr.s t’wo dollars less than usual. Then he remembers that he has pledged part of his pay to buy Unitod States Y ar Bonds, On his way home from work, he stops at the store. At the sugar counter is a sign: Have your ration stamp ready please.” V hon he tries to bu a tube of toothpaste, he finds that an old tube must bo returned evory time a ne’w tube is bo’ught . Ceiling prices prevent the prices of many articles from rising above certain limits but some things, such as bananas, cost three times as much as befor-. the war started. Mr. Jones does not buy large quantities of any orie thing, for that would be hoarding and would not be patriotic. After arriving homo he spends one hour of his valuable time in caring for his victory garden. After slipper he takes a four-hour shift ut the local airplane observation to’wer. At last, very tired and Weary, he prepares lo get a long and well-doserved rest. Just as he is about to get into bed, the sirens blov; signaling a blackout. Mr. Jones, v;ho is an air raid warden, drosses quickly and rushes out of doors and up the st. ' t. After an hour of noise and confusion, Mr. Jones is again ready for bed. He does not know it yet, but all night long ho will dream of air raids, sea fights, and mighty army battles. In his prayer that night Mr. Jones includes, ’’Please, Lord, please bring this war to an end soon.” V V t ‘J i: fc ' if ' r‘ I ' I i . 1 . • t f Honor Roll for first four marking peri FR ESBaIEN Velna Bordeaux Betty Dean Hope Johnson Irene Sieczkarski ' George Yonkers SOPHOMORES Kathleen Backus Irene Dogul Oreste Persechinb JUNIORS Eleanor Benis Josephine D’Anolfo Grace Grimes Kenneth Lindsay Joe Panaccione Rose Puliafico SENIORS Robert Rice Eleanor Backus Veronica Boardway Dorothy Gav.d:hrop Josephine Puliafico ods - up to June 1.

I can ' t x erywell say I dislike it because I’d prob- ably end up on the out aide inste ad of inside --all in all the teachers are pretty good friends, TheT- work hard to teach me that Caesar was a great dramatist and Lhakespeare a great Conqueror, that all those wormy looking whirligigs in short- hand are supposed to represent words. Of course, I may be pretty slow, but I’m sure Mr, Allen has proven that Z - X will equal seven provided Z equals four and X three. Hr, V ing talks long and untiringly on the subjects of snakes and toads in biology, but to me they’re still very repulsive creatures regardless of how they are constructed. Oh, of course, I must not forget to tell you that bookkeeping is ever fascinating and so Qasjl If the balance sheet won’t balance, just throw the v hole thing aside and blame it on the book. The figures weren’t right anyway.’ Study periods are always a joy--provided Miss Spurr is overseer. Of course, you may get caught chewing gum or talking once in a while, but don’t let that bother you, it only moans a couple of weeks of detention. And then, just think of those handsome basketball and baseball heroes you had a chance to meet. Really now, wo don’t go to school just to have a nice looking fellow wink at us, but it helps a lot to make things more interesting. So all in all, high school is pretty good institution after all. 1 I I i I I ( y ,QC % ; I ■;i 1 V • r • tv ,v.- . s I SENIOR CLASS ROLL President Paul Cutting Vice President Dorothy G-awthrop Secretary Betty Troy Treasurer Norman Carruth Dorothy Allen Eleanor M.

We don’t have to tell you that because each of you has so many thoughts to link vi ith the bomb ing of Pearl Harbor. You will remember your friends who were out- there then and v ho are out there now. However, there are some things that we, the senior class of nineteen hundred and f ort37--two , will always think of v rhen the v ords Remember Pearl Harbor are mentioned. We v ill remember all the things that happened to us during our life at high school; all the sorrows we have had; all the funny things that have hap- pened to each of us. V hen v;e entered Barre High School in September, 193 , a nev kind of life v as opened up -’-o us. Some of us v ere scared pink, and some were scared silly, but I am sure that all 80 to 100 of us (our membership was 100 at ono time during that year I ) were just a little frightened anjwvay. Then shortly afterward came two terribly important events: The magazine drive and the Hurricane! Our class has had an exceptionally good record in the various magazine drives, and we never had to do exercises! The Barricane was an experience through v hich we all live, but there v as a w hile during it when wo didn’t feel quite so safe about our future. That feeling was universal throughout the town. The Freshman Social followed. It was a Saint Patrick’s Day Party, and everyone had a good time. Then came final exams. Of course, we have gotten rather used to them nov and don’t worry much{?), but at that time we hardly knew what we were v riting. We were worried 1 1 V hen we came back to school as sophomores, we were able to do the ducking, instead of being ducked! It was fun! V e have had many fads in our class, but the most interesting ones came this year. One of them was that the girls v ore bells. They wore them with ribbons in their hair, and some even had them tied to their shoes! Another fad was the so-called beer jacket which had names, funny sayings, and pictures written all over it in in- delible ink. Remember the jacket with the pocket labeled Hope Chest? Then there v as the Sophomore Hallowe’en Party. It v;as a costur. ' ie party. You won’t ever forget the Hawaiian girl in the grass skirt, v ill you? And have you seen v hat a glamor girl she has turned into? It’s amazing! It was at this party that a favorite teacher of ours. Miss Dole, told our fortunes. It was during our jun: or year that Mr. Casey left us. V e all v ere sorry when he went. The greatest event of the junior year should be told first: The Junior Prom. The decorations pictured sea scenes, anchors, sea weed, and sea gulls. It v as a clever idea, and it as done very v ell. We think it was the best Junior Prom that Barre High had had for a long time, especially since v e made more money than the Class of nineteen jjjUndred and forty-one. V o had some Senior- Junior parties also. There v as a blizzard cn the night of the last one, Our Junior Party was the best that we hnd ever had. V o did folk-dancing under the able direction of Mr, Allen and Then cane the sen.1.:.’ vear; the . ' atlook for all of us seened gloony. One bright spoi ’vas Diar. tne seniors won the Magazine Drive, and Viola Stone sold yo subscriptions while in bedi Vife won ' t ever -Tot get the events of the next few months. Then cane the war ol ' ’ . I ' : okoulcs and gas rat ionir.g --and the Senior loy. Thof. w- ' -s very good; wo all thcughT the sane. The noises were ai: ’.oso boat tor than the actors I More hapnenea following that. We had a Junior-Senior Party, which was fun After that rumors began to float around--no trip to the Courthouse, anu Tz orst of all, no Senior Trip ' But in spite of all the hard l ick, thoro is a silver lining shov ing through the dark clouds now: the war will end — sometines we have been to tne Courthouse and we are actually going to Boston! I We are very busy now and have many problems to settle- graduation, plans for a party after it, class pins, invitations places, times, and so forth. Among the many upheavals of this particular year wo recall- the changin-g of seats, oven of rooms, every four weeks. The class ' ws divided between Rooms 7 and 8, between Miss Kirby and Mrs. Boyd. We must have been toublescme, for both of these teachers are quitting their posts in June. V e- don’t see how the High School is going to get along without then, but we hope thc.t they will bo very happy in their new vocations. We are a very lucky class after all.

Bells were din.vii g, voices ringing; Carrolls flinging history at us all; We romped o er Heath and heather, Jell the weather, ’A ers didn’t care. A ten-foot drift, a busted Wing, V e v ere always there. Baseball, football, basketball. Or just gooa p.lain old marbles, We too, v e re alv ays fair. How the Wrins did chirp and chatter As we passed O’Donnell’s farm, (That is on the ’’turnpiku famous Over than’ v har’ Oakham’s laymen Yell out ’’BLACKOUT” door to door,) Getting baci-c to meditations, You siiould have heard our recitations; Cutting Latin capers; (Better topics never flowed O’ur Gay er tongues or wiser. And ne’’er forget C”r fondest r- ' .tions ’’Rice and Buttur, 0 and ’Pickles’ are our potions, Agreed all Boyd(d)s and girls by senior motion. Our favorite poets, folks, do follow: Shakespeare, Poe and (Roger Shelley, But more pbv er ful in our hearts is Hamlet, Proof of this is known by Farrar. Such Young things v ere we then, it’s true. We never gave up Troying Hardy, With such a Backus as v c had. How could v e? Twas not a bit Chilleri, I’ll tell you. The day v;e Spinneyd to The county seat, Thu criminals for to suo ; As hard as Flint v oru those crooks, by cracky. For many a Bullard had marked their way. Many a thrill has Dot-ted our days. Hero at old Barre High, Nov Autry to give us a Pat on the back. And thank the Guorti(e) Angels about us. That wo arc Americans, not Japs; poor saps? 3 ’ CIIARACTER SKETCHES OF 9ENIQRS Roger Skelly ”Doc ’’Short, dark, and handsone”, Roger ought to be a novie actor; after all his experience in handling pictures and girls; he ought to cone out on tops Some day he’ll give Cecil B. DeMille conpetition. Edson Gay ’’Eddie” ’’Fair sniles win faint hearts”, Eddie is known for that cheerful smile. Eddie showed his mechanical ability in the senior nlay. Your snile is certainly a thing to be ?aighty proud of for everyone to imitate. Adrienne Guertin ’’June” ’’Silence is golden!” All through high school Adrienne has been very silent, but even so she has contributed in many ways by serving on con- nittees with whole-hearted cooperation. She never fails to shov everyone her v.dnning snile, which soens to hold friendship for all. Bertha Hardy ’’Bert” ’’Have fun while you can”, Bertha follows this notto. She is carefree and can turn anyone’s heart. Did you notice her at the Junior Pron? Bertha should become a hair stylist, for she has set many examples in these last four years. Myrtle Keddy ”Myrt” ’’What’s better than to be a blond?” Myrtle’s hair is the envy of all and perhaps she’ll take Veronica Lake’s place in notion pictures. Keep up with your shorthand and typing, ’ and you night l e her secretary. 1 Vho knov, Rita Harty ’’Rite” ”V e should be seen, not heard”. Rita makes up the silent pjirt of our class. We wish her success in whatever course she takes, and if she follows her . sister’s steps, we’re sure she will be successful. Good luck to you, Rita. Leornard I ' fershall ”3hrinp” ’’Silence and ambition lead to success , V ho said Leonard was quiet? Ask the boy that went to VRiite City v ith hin the tine the tine tho class went to the courthouse. Everyone knows he is an cxnert at horse-back riding. Hazel O’Donnell ’’Hazel” ’’Get the best out of life”. Hazel is well-known for her soprano voice. We hope that you nay thrill as nany by it in years to cone, as you have thrilled us through the last few years. Best luck, whatever road you take! Antonia Palano Tony” ’’May the best horse win”. Horse racing is his speciality. V e can always find hin reading the latest news about the winners. Although Tony had J ■ 0 a serious illness this spring, wo were glad to welcome him back to graduate with us. Phyllis Paquin ’’Phil Happiness is the spice of life . Phil is noted for those sketches seen throughout the year in the Barretone , She also showed her skill in winning the Tennis Championship last year. Since she plans to do her duty to her country as an army nurse, we wish her loads of luck. Klahy Biittefo May A willing hand is of service to the world . To be a good nurse is Mary’s ambition. All through high school she has lent a helping hand to any in trouble. She has the ability to get along with people and to make others in her company happy. Good luck, Mary. Katherine Bullard Kay Be good and you will be happy . Kay is one of the quiet members of the senior class but has joined in the class activities willingly. Sometimes the quiet ones are the nicest. Isn ' t that right, Kay? She, too, plans to be c secretary. We wish her luck. Fannie Caranci Fan A merry heart maketh a cheerful continence . All through high school, Fannie has spread good cheer. She will long be remembered for this cheerfulness, and she v ill be a success in any walk of life she chooses. Norman Carruth Pete Every man shall bear his own burden . Pete is the treo.surer of our class, and although he has met v ith difficulty collecting money, he ' s done his job success- fully. His part in the senior play was also a success . Pete played in the orchestra, and, who knows, we may be listening to him over the radio with his own orchestral James Chiller! Jim Great thought come from the heart . Jin is the quiet, conservative oy of our class, except when he thinks we are going to have a test; then Jimmy is run- niaa about ■’■ ' ying to find out the questions that night be asked on the black board the dey before. Paul Cutting Cut The force of his own merit makes hie way . For three years Paul has oeen the leader of our class and has directed us thr ' - ' ugh thick and thin. He is also noted for his musical talent. Remencer when he won Callahan and played in Bob Chaplin ' s orchestra for the Junior Prom? Cut , with all your v ' .ried talents, we are sure you will succeed in any- thing you do. Here’s a future Dr. Kildare I Howard Dean Howy A friend to everyone and everyone his friend .

Terry” is cur class poet and never fails to have a poen on the tip of he 1 tongue. A great najority of the Barretonos” have had sone of Terry’s work in then. She has written the class ode which the seniors think is superior to any previous one. No doubt this talent will help her in her chosen career as a reporter, Robert Flint Bob” For he’s a jolly good fellow”, ■ Whenever there’s any nischief to be done, Bob is sure to be around. For a tine the detention rron was hone to hin. Boys will be boys. Isn’t ' that right, Bob? However, Bob is serious enough to work for his country in defense work, Dorothy Allen Dot” How to win friends and influence people”. Her sunny disposition and ability to get along with people has won her a place in the hearts of her classnates. Her part as the ”kid naned Toe” in the freshnan social was the beginning of her school activities which included orchestra, glee club, the senior play, and the school sports. Eleanor Backus Shorty” ”V here there’s a will, there’s a way”. Shorty is one of the outstanding girls of cur class, both fron a scholastic and a social viev; point. Her one ambition is to be a nurse, and if she is as good a nurse as she has been a student, 100 per cent of her patients ought to recover. Eleanor is also nc-ted for her giggling. Edward Bashaw Eddie” ’’Gabriel, alow your horn”. Eddie is f ne of the regular fellows in our class, always having a snile frr everyone. He’s played in the orchestra for two years and is now taking trumpet lessons. Who knows, sone- d£. y Eddie night be a second Harry Janes. Dorthea Bechan Dot” Efficiency is her keynote”. Running errands for the teachers has been her job for the last yet,.r. She is always willing to help people and her part in the Senior Flay will ee long renenbered. S omeday Dot plans to be seneone’s stenug”. She’ll make a nice one, v;on’t she?” Fred Bechan Freddy” The safest way tc avr id tre uble is to be quiet”. Fred corcainly lives up to this quotation, especially in history cla.ss. He is ne of the joys whe is dc. ing defense worl afternc.v ns ar. Allen’s shop. And with rollows like Fred, work- ing for cur defense, v e are certain f victory. Margaret Better Maggie” The jusiness field is her career”, Cc.nnercjal w ' rk has been Margaret’s joy. Her snile and disposition v ill make Margaret popular wherever she goes. As � A Q secretary she will be”tops”. On the other hand, her clothes night secure her a job ns a nodel. Wilbur Blake ”Blakey” Let knowledge grow frcn nore to nore . Odd jobs ore Wilbur’s way of learning nore about the world. He is never idle, and his thriftiness will help hin make his way in life. Veronica Boardway Butch Live and be nerry Veronica will soneday be a great help- as a secretary. He] good nature and willingness to help people, along with her typing ability, v ill assure her of a place in the business world. Veronica is also musical inclined. She plays an accordian and has sung in glee club for three years. Dorothy Briggs Dot Leave no stone unturned . Ever since Dot j ' oined cur class, she has readily entered into our class activities whole-heartedly. Dot is another girl who intends to fulfill a secret: rial position, and we know she will succeed. Dcrcth 3 ’ ' Gawthrop Dot Diligence, and she ' ll make for things impossible, Dot, the vice-president of our class, is one of the out- standing student, both scholastically and socially. On many occasions her voice has showed us her acting ability. All in ■ all. Dot is certainly versatile. Variety is the spice of life, isn’t it? Dot expects to be Miss Gawthrop R. N, Viola Stone Babe A nan’s best fri ' ' d is his horse. All through school Viola has played in the orchestra and has contributed her artistic ability to the Barretone, ■ Her ambition is to become a nurse. If she shows as much determina- tion in this as she did in learning to walk again after her operation, she’ll succeed. Mabel Tucker Mabel He’s 1 A in the Army . A].mc3t every girl in the class has her eye on one soldier or another, but Mabel has beat us all If you’ve noticed the third linger of her left hand, you will k new what we mean. We’re wishing you loads of happiness, Mabel, Rose Rossi Rosie The more the merrier . Rcse has one of the cheeriest dispositions in school and has boon rioht on hand when anyone needed help. Her ambition is to be a private secretory, and the firm, that gets her will gain a great deal. Rose also her her eye on someone who is 1 A in the Amyl Mary Skelly Mary She shall have music wherever she goes . Mary will long be remembered for her beautiful voice. She has sung in many of the class activities including the seni I play, when she sang our national anthem. All through our four years of school, she has oeen one of cur ablest physical training leaders and is popular with everyone. Bertha Flemming Bert” ”A woman can be such an inspiration to a man . If you don’t think so, just ask a certain young man, huh Bert? Bertha might well be called a human chatter box , for she can always think of something to say. If her hopes to becoma a hairdresser are f ulf illed, she may be writing another Lola Leeds column. Good luck, anyway, Bertha. Leroy Spinney Spinn Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today. Anyone who reads the Barret one has certainly read Roy’s name on its staff for the last • four years. He’s had a hard tine trying to secure material, but he is ' never heard to com- . plain. Maybe it’s the support he has from one member of the senior class in particular. Roy was president of the class the first year and was leader of the magazine drive this year. Bette Troy Bet The still small voice of gratitude . Without the articles which Bette has written for the Barretcne for the past ■’••bree years, it would have lost some of its fine quality. Her freshman year she won first prize in the Prize Speaking contest with her piece, The T:ll Tale Heart . She has been secretary of the class, and someday may be secretary for a certain senior boy and continue writing articles . Mary Puliafico Mary The business field is my career . Mary has unusual talent for sewing. She has contributed this talent to the Red Cross by managing the sewing of Red Cress flags. Keep ’em sewing, Mary! Robert Rice Pickles The spirit of the Times . In physics and history Pickles knov s all the answers. He keeps up with the latest inventions and news. After school he works in the First National Store, but some day he’ll be givinr Einstein some tough problems to figure cut. Marion is ' blarion jiv. ' perience prepares one for the future , Mam. ' .co has always acted as a tj ist for the teachers. This is only a sbepping stone for her, because, if she is to be judged ly her ' School record, she will bo a private secretary for some big business man. She has also been typist for the Barret r nr , Angie Crl’va.ioie ' blngie Ciuie: by nature ' We will all rememoer -uigie’s naturally curly hair which is the envy of all the girls.

Fuller’s bus, with the right sun beaming down on its orange sides and packed v ith fifty-one leepy but smiling faces, started on its way to V orcester, V. ' e, the seniors of the class of 1942, v ere about to have our long- waited expectations fulfilled; we were on our to Boston for our lass trip. Upon arriving in V7orcester at Union Station, we had the breakfast hich we should have eaten at ho.:e, but for which we had not had time. Riding on a train was a nev experience for some of us, but for all f us it v as an enjoyable one. The train was rather slow, but our ively conversation made up for this, V e first visited the Harvard I.Iuseum, The collection of glass lowers was particularly breath-taking, at least to the girls. The boys, owever, v ere simply av e- stricken by the giant squids and dinosaurs hich glared out at them from behind glass cages. But the snakes created he greatest sensation (at. least the sensation of fear v ithin Hiss irby ' s heart.) From her actions, after looking at a huge python, we ssumed sho wasn ' t particularly fond of snakes. After lunch at Thompson ' s Spa, Rover Beach v as the destination of large group of us while others were attracted to the stage play, ister Eileen. We found out at dinner neither group was disappointed by their aoico of the afternoon ' s entertainment. The roller coaster ' (rolled ast as fast as ever, and Eileen ' s sister turned out to be wonderful. The steak dinners at Pieroni ' s were a complete success. In fact ley wore so abundant that follows like Fred Bcchan and John Cronin ::ro unable to cat their dessert. That fact in itself proves the qual- ty of the dinner. By eight O ' clock, the once fresh as a daisy seniors with dirty ices, aching feet, but still high spirits, were seated in the R K 0 leatre watching Vaughn I.lonroe a. d his orch..rtra. l.as Vaughn good? ill, the girls tried vainly to calm their hearts, and oven the boys con- isscd they felt a thumping. At tv elve o ' clock a train pulled out from the South Station, and 1 it were 51 tired boys and girls, all of them v ijjh happy memories which 111 b lodged in their hearts for many years to cornel � • ► ’ r ' • .

' f V. ’ : -■■ ■ ••• ■ ■ , • :V TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI It was early Saturday norning (about ten ninutes of noon) as Albert (Beansy) Kariaraus pulled hinself up to his naxinun height, shoved out his stonach, pulled in his chest, and care- fully surveyed hinself in the nirror. The snile fell fron his face as ho ran his fingers across his chin, ’’Hair growing tonic on ny face for tv;o weeks and still no whiskers 1” he nuttered, ’’but I’n still gonna join the Marines!” V ith this solemn vow he got ”on the bean” and pointed his nose toward V orcester. Within the hour he entered the Marine recuiting office on Connercial Street, ’’V.Tiat can I do for you, Sonny?” asked the sergeant at the desk. At this salutation Beansy swallowed, hiccoughed twice, am ' then swallowed again,” ’’Sonny?” he thought, looking behind hin to see to whom the sergeant had spoken, ’’Gulp, guess he’s talking to ne. I just — that is, I--I wanta join da marines,” A long pause followed and then as though he had just remembered, he added, ’’Sir,” ’’You must be thinking of another branch of the service. Son, replied the sergeant carefully scrutinizing the trembling Beansy, ”We don’t need water boys in the marine corps.” Beansy considered the last remark for a moment and then de- cided that there is a tine and place for everything, including getting mad at a sergeant of the Marines. ”I don’t wanta be no water boy, I wanta be a marine, you big — er I mean, sir,” By this time Beansy was perspiring like a steam boiler and was as robust as a scared rabbit. ”How old did you say you are. Sonny?” inquired the sergeant, ”F-f-five feet, seven and one-h-h-half inches just before meals, sir,” gulped Beansy. ’’And how much do you weigh?” asked the sergeant, ”S-s-sixteen years in my stocking feet,” was the answer, ’’Your feet must be sore. Are you joining up to fight, or to get your first paif of shoes?” inquired the now smiling sergeant . ’’I-I-I-I have blue hair and black eyes, sir,” -ventured Beansy, ’’and I wanta fight,” The sergeant palled- to a uniformed man at another desk. ’’Lieutenant Malcolm, take down the lad’s name and place it on file. And you, Son, come back in a year or so when you weigh seventeen years in your stocking feet just before meals. Good- day, Son.” Beansy walked slowly away; and as he walked, he muttered, ”If Matty Trifilo can ever get in the Navy, Ward Brown in the Marinos, George Mirabilo in the Foreign Legion, and Alan Macintos in the Boy Scouts, then by heck, someday I’ll bo a United States Marine! ” V . s TASK OF THE JUNIOR CLASS The Juniors, as a whole, have a hard and impatient task ahead ot tu)m. Hext year we 11 all be seniors and in that position wo v ill have to live up to the high standards set .by th’. o vou ' s seniors and seniors before them. Naturally our is capable of this undertaking without any doubt what-so- :-.va..a. Let us take a look ahead and compare our class v ith tni;. y ;..r’s seniors, Porhcros Charles Cutting, our President, will take the place of Pa il Cutting as our president next year. Then there is Rose Pu.liafico to fill in for Dot Gav throp, Ed Andrukonis to step in for Pete Carruth, as treasurer, and Audrey Bor- deaux to keep the class v ell informed as secretary in Bette Troy’s rJace. If things shape up that way next year, we can readily see that as far as officers are concerned, our class is all right. New let’s look at the rest of the class. It is prob- able that Nick Onorato will be captain of the baseball team in tn ■ rbsence of George Wrin, who is captain this year. Then v.- , . e have Alan Macintosh to do all the math so that Mr. won’t miss Eddie Powers next year. To keep the class laugiiing we have Lindo D’Annolfo, who has to leep up with .u hn Cronin, The senior class has Bette and Roy, well the j Uiiors have Rose and Ward to fill their vacancy. John Wytral will easily trip the scales as far, if not farther, than Eddy Bashaw as the largest boy in the class. And without doubt, Ken Lindsey will be able to take over Roger Skelly’s role as the wittiest boy. When errands have to be done, the future seniors will use Alice Kirvel- evitch to work where Lucy Patrac ' one does now. The quietest girl in the class, Margaret Tobin, will take Rita Harty’s place. As for the smallest boy in the class, we are out- standing, for Tony Palano is easily outnumbered by Francis Sokol, Matthew Trifilo, and Clarence Metcalfe. Fannie Caranci ' s place as the shortest girl will be taken by Santa Buttero. All this shows that after the seniors go, their places will be filled by a class that in all respects will keep up the good work and examples set for them by past seniorss ■ ■ . 4 : )K ' . ' , ■!,.

' ,.‘u : JUNIOR PROim oEE On May 15 of this year the annual Junior Promenade was held in V illians’ Hall with nearly three hundred persons attending. The hall was lavishly decorated in Pan-American style and between the windows were large hand-painted panels. Evergreens banked the stage and balcony and those v;ere interspaced with sombreros and Spanish dancers. Crepe paper and balloons cover- ed the ceiling. At 9 o ' clock the grand march began, but as the hall v ;as so crovi ded it vms impossible to complete it. Dancing follovjcd and the Junior Promenade of 1942 was in full sv ing. The music furnished by Bob Chaplin and his orchestra from Athol was spoken of as the best any Junior Promenade has had for many years , The floor xms so crowded that the jitter bugging was rather limited Sj the fox trots and waltzes vjere favored the most. Oldsters and youngsters enjoyed themselves immensely even though they got a kick in the shins every once in avjhilc. Punch was served all during the evening and at intermission ice cream and cookies V ;ore sold. The ' junior class wore very fortunate to have in the receiv- ing line ilr. and Mrs. Charles Cutting, Mr, and Mrs, Ralph New- comb, puj Mr. and Mrs. George Peck, A TALE FROM JUNIOR PROM ’m. ' -as two nights before Junior Prom, and all through 1 Villi- ams Kqj.I there arose a great band and clatter. No, folks, I ' m not swinging off into poetry. I’m just getting set to tell you something about an amusing incident v hich occurred while we were decorating for the big event. About fifteen of us ambitious juniors gathered about Miss Kirby and started out vjith all the good intentions of getting a lot of work done. Fo r about an hour v o did work, very exhaust- ingly, the boys chopping branches of evergreen, the girls tying it to the balcony. Miss Kirby was supervisor of all, and she certainly did some real hard work too. However, as things pro- gressed, one friend would visit another to make a coruicnt about how everything looked. One very daring boy, instead of climbing up the steps to talk to two young ladies on the balcony decided to use the step ladder. Ho reached the top step all right--but ho was so intent on his conversation that ho didn ' t realize hov; precariously he Y;as rocking that none to stable ladder. Suddenly a shriek was heard, work ceased, everyone stood motionless in the middle of the floor — for there on the balcony, very firmly held by two pairs of feminine hands was the young gentleman with the no longer under him. He had leaned too far and realized too late his folly. It took several seconds for folks to regain their breath, but when they did, there was one mad rush to restore the stepladder firmly beneath the young man. Really, I never thought that it took so many people to make one little step ladder stand up. Nevertheless we decided to call off the activities until the follovi ing day, V e were limp from excitement. COULD YOU FORGET— - Francis Sokol tho sponsor of Sokol’s Soapy Solution?

EDUCATION FOR THE FUTURE Our freshman school year is almost over, and v;e hope every freshman has done his best. V e know that the first year in high school is very important , It is very important for our future careers and now, more than ever, we need education to make us good American citizens. In the present era it means much more than in former times because in mass production everything is done in such a precise manner that education is vital to good work. In this country we are free and have a democratic wpy of living instead of that of people Vv ho live under dic- tators . i ' e should appreciate all the opportunities our country gives, and we should make the most of all our school years . We must make every effort to have a better record all the years we go t o school, for it v ill benefit us after school and in anything we choose to do. Without doubt the class that is graduating this year will be able to use its knowledge in many ways. Many v;ill try to get further education, and some will join the armed forces. We know that all the freshmen will be looking for- ward to being seniors and graduating in 1945.

Since then 7 left, Stella Crowley and Raymond Rival were the first to leave in the fall. Earle Shepr.rdson left in January. Arthur Porter moved to the Capo, and Robert Carlson to Worcester. These two boys were from Oakham, Our class lost one member by death. John O ' Donnell was killed in an automobile accident on the Worcester Road in December. Clayton Swan moved in March. He v;as a member of our bask otball team. At present there arc 51 in our class; 25 girls - 26 boys DEBATING Public debating at Barre High during the past year v as very late in getting under way. In fact, it v as so late that the begin- ning was necessarily the end, Ehom the first a few students held frequent meetings to • discuss questions informally, but these private discussions proved to be -a poor substitute for the real thing. On Friday evening, May 8 , the one formal public debate of the year was held in the assembly hall. This particular event is sponsored annually by the Barre V omen s Club as a means of promoting interest in debating. Two teams of boys discussed this question, Resolved; the axis nations should be thoroughly subjugated in the post-war peace Eddie Powers, Ken Lindse3 ’, and Paul Salvadore upheld the affirmative v h ile Paul Cutting, Bob Rice, and Charles Cutting spoke for the negative. The audience voted before and after the debate, and the affirmative team won by a large percentage. All the speeches v ere good. Ken Lindsey s rebuttal was exceptionally noteworthy. In comparison to the debating activities of the last three or four years, this year ' s record seems to indicate that interest in this important phase of school life has slackened considerably here at Barre High. This is not as it should be, for now, more than ever , our country needs young men and v omen who can think logically and clearly, a national youth that can tiiink for itself; Debating is the best means kno ai for developing straight thinkers, and at the same time good speakers. Almost an3 day one can find a discussion in progress in Englis] or history or physics class--everywhere except on the debating platform. There must be many eligible students at Barre High v ho have not yet turned out for debating. Come on, folks, why not give i t a try next year? Why not have inter-class teams as well as mixed teams? V hy not compete v ith other schools? There are many possibilities, but the ansv ers to all these questions lie in your hands — you boys, you girls, you freshmen, you seniors. Give it a try! It ' s Interesting, and it ' s fun! I A m B vRRE HiaK SPORTS This ycc.r bc.soball, always a najor sport, took a hard knock. First of all, our coach, Kr. Allen, v’as uanblo to give us as nuch of his tine as he had in the past. But Captain Red v rin conducted the practices vAiich Mr. Allen nissed. How well ho succeeded nay be judged fron the fact that the teen won four while losing onlj - two genes. The fj.rst gene Mi.s vnth Holden. Nicky Onorato pitched a good ' gone, but it v asn’t the toon’s da r to win. Next the toon journej ' -Gd to Hardwick, where it vjon by the score of 13 to 3 V rin drove in several runs. Once againWe net Hol n, this tine c.t High Plains. The gano v?ls 3 to 0 in Barre’s favor until Holden put together four, runs in the 6th, and the final score w -.s 4 to 3. Hcrdv.’ick o x.in, end the score 11 to 2 for Barre. A hone run by ' ., ' rin f oc tured this i ano. Frank Masulaitis, ordinarily shortstop, pitched all the way for his first win as a high school pitcher, Princeton was the next gme plOj- ed. The tean won easily by a score of 11 to 1, r nunber of substitutes played in this gene, and for experience Mr. Allen shifted the t an about into different positions, Paul Salvadorc nade c. hone run. The final grne v.v.s a return gme with Princeton at High Plains. Again ther v;as a good deal of substitution. The final score was 10 to 4, Capt. ' v rin.and Nicky Onorato hit honers. He ' d i rin finished his career at high school ;ith a .500 average. The runn - up vxls Nicky Onorato V7ith .391. BASIiSiiLL This universal sport, flayed by both boys and girls, has becone so popular that is is knownas our National Garie. It is played everywhere, on fields that serve a dual purpose as cow pastures, to well-cared for dianonds that could do justice to an estate lawn. No other sport is so popular with all: fron young lads to old dovjaji-ers it is enthusiastically supported. This truly iiierican spQrt had it origin in the old English gane of rounders. In the early 19th century a’ sinilar gane jms plaj ed in Philadelphia. It quickly spread and was readily received bj everyone in our young end growing nation. However, baseball received its greatest developnent in and around New York. In 1857 the first uniforn rules ;ero drafted. As it bccar.ie a faster and h£:rder gane, gloves and catching cquipnent kept pace for the protection of the players. After the Civil l ar it grev7 by leaps and bounds. Up to this tine it had been strictly ana t our , but in 1869 the first professional tcan, the Rod Stockings of Cincinnati, toured the country winning every gane they played for over a year. The National League was organized and had conplcte rule for twont 3 r-.f ivc years. Then in 1900 a rival association, the Arierican League was forned, Eueds were a rntter-of -forn, and riany players wore crippled for life. In the early 1900 s it was a colorful but hard gcinc. The old tiners of that era wore so bitter that, on or off the dianond, there could be only one result in a ne .ting of rival nlayers. Connected with the innortal nanes of IIcGraw, l agner, -Qbbb, Ruth, and others ar stories that arc as irnor ' t ' al as the non thcnselves. At a when underhanded ope ictjor V ' cre practically ruining the gane, Babe Ruth won the fan’s trust and confidence. It is possible to say that, single-handed, he saved this great gane fron oblivion. Today the players of both leagues are proving their patriotisn by giving up their grow’ing careers for the service. V hat a grv.at sacrifice they are naking. Bob Feller, Hank Greenberg, Ted V illians, and scores of others, set the pace for all. Surely, if thej?- can ' ;Lve up their careers, v;;hich 11. st only a cor paratively few years at the nost, no one should conplain. Truly you can say, Hats off to Baseball and its stars. “ .r . i )■ I ' . I j I 1 , ; k: .
