BARRETONE FRANK MASULAITIS Petchie Glee Club— 1, 2, 3, 4 Senior Play— 4 Baseball — 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball — 1, 2, 3, 4 Scriptus Staff — 4 Frankie is the live wire in our class. More than once he has burst out with some spontaneous episode that keeps the class in good humor. He is noted for his pin-up girls and his love for nasturtiums. He is the star forward on the Barre Hornets and an all-around man for the baseball nine. “Ernie” would be lost without “Petchie,” and so would we ! RICHARD MILAN Dick Orchestra — 3, 4 Senior Play — 4 Callahan— 3, 4 Baseball— 4 Barretone Staff — 4 Scriptus Staff — 4 Basketball— 4 “Dick,” the editor of the Barretone, and member of the Scriptus staff, took part in sports, including baseball and basketball, in which he proved himself a worthy member of each team. He played the trombone in the school orchestra and is a substantial member in the “Melodians.” He also won second prize in the Callahan Contest in his Junior year. All in all, “Dick” is a grand friend to everyone. ARLENE MORRISON Marjorie Glee Club— 1, 2, 3, 4 Barretone Staff — 4 Pro-Merito — 4 Arlene is our little bundle of where she goes things brighten up. She is a very clever actress, playing her roles in the Christmas Social play and the Senior play very nonchalantly. “Marje’s” hobby is drawing pictures of pretty girls — in this she is excep- tional. She intends to become a nurse and it’s safe to say she’ll be a real success. Senior Play — 4 Scriptus Staff — 4 Latin Club — 1 personality. Every- ALAN OHLSON Olie Glee Club— 1 Basketball— 1, 2, 3, 4 Barretone Staff — 4 Alan has well earned the title of the hardest worker in the Senior class. He must be Charles G. Allen’s pride and joy having appeared at work every morning plus a full afternoon. He has an exceptionally likable manner and knows practically everyone from here to “Frisco.” He is one of the Barre Hornets and has walked to or from Williamsville more than once to attend practice. ORESTO PERSECHINO Ernie Glee Club — 1, 2, 3, 4 Senior Play — 4 Debating — 4 Prize Speaking — 2 Baseball — 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball— 1, 2, 3, 4 Scriptus Staff — 4 Pro-Merito — 3 Oresto is an outstanding member of the Senior class. He is noted for his athletic ability being the in- comparable catcher of the baseball team and a versatile guard and center of the Barre Hornets. “Ernie” is cap- tain of both outfits and his congenial manner won him unanimous appointment to both positions. He is also a high scorer on the report cards having received a pro- merito pin last year. We all wish “Ernie” the best of luck in his forthcoming Naval career. 15

14 BARRETONE TOM FINAN T Basketball — 1, 2, 3, 4 Barretone Staff — 2 Scriptus Staff — 4 As the tallest member of the Senior Class, the Barre Hornets had some real material for a center. Tom is an ardent basketball player and spent most of his af- ternoons practicing. He is a lover of chemistry and has a yen for experiments. In Tom, we find a likable manner and a powerful debater. We hope he doesn’t try to debate with the Naval Officers too often. FLORA FISK Fisky Glee Club— 3, 4 Debating— 3, 4 Callahan— 3, 4 Prize Speaking— 4 A title that should be given to Flora Fisk is “With a Smile and a Song.” In addition to her beautiful so- prano voice, Flora has a pleasin g personality. She also enjoys drama and is a good actress. Whenever there’s anything new to start or keep going, Flora is always willing to support it. To her friends she is a “swell” companion. THERESA FOX Terry Girls’ Sports — 1, 2 Latin Club — 1 Inking Contest — 3, 4 “Terry” is noted for her skill at mechanical draw- ing. She has taken courses in this subject along with architectural drawing and is a very good hand at it. She seems to have a yen for scientific subjects, being the on- ly girl in the trig class, and manages to hold her own. In “Terry,” we find a determined will and other qual- ities that hold promise of a successful future. BEVERLY HOUSTON Bevie Girls’ Sports — 1, 2, 3, 4 Debating — 1 The sparkle of the class, “Bevie” will always hold a dear place in our hearts. She has supplied humor for us during our whole four years. Wherever “Bev” goes, hearts will be made light as she makes more and more friends. Good luck, “Bev,” and keep ’em smiling 1 MARIE HOWE Girls’ Sports — 1, 2 Debating — 1 We don’t hear as much as we’d like from Marie; she’s one of our quietest members. Her unruffled nature is a trait to be desired. She’s always ready and willing to help out on any task presented to her, and she inevit- ably finds an answer. Having kept up well in her studies, Marie is quite prepared to enter her chosen field of nursing and be- come successful in that field.

16 BARRETONE PATRICIA PULIAFICO Pat Girls’ Sports — 1, 2, 3, 4 “Pat” is and always was the quiet type. Since our Freshman year, “Pat” has taken an active part in sports especially softball. Although “Pat” is quiet and appears shy, her favorite pastime is movies and Alan Ladd is her favorite actor. “Pat” wants to be a secretary and we wish her luck in her career. DOROTHY LOU RICE Dottie Lou Senior Play— 4 Barretone Staff — 4 “Dot Lou” has always been prominent in school ac- tivities. As secretary of the class she performs her du- ties efficiently. She is noted for up-to-date outfits and her ability to get along with people. “Dot” is a swell sundae maker as most of the students know and a tireless work- er. She also seems to be the “Most and Best” of nearly everything. PAUL SALV ADORE Paulie Glee Club — 4 Senior Play — 4 Debating — 2 Prize Speaking — 1 Baseball — 4 Basketball — 4 Barretone Staff — 2 Scriptus Staff — 1 Pro-Merito — 1 Paulie,” as president of the Senior class, is the spark plug that keeps the class engine running. He is al- so editor of the Scriptus and manages to keep the paper coming despite all the difficulties. Our baseball team this year would have been at a great loss for a mound artist without him. Another potential Naval aviator, Paul has wonderful chances of a bright future. ANNA TUCKER Anne Glee Club — 3, 4 Scriptus Staff — 4 Typing is Anna’s favorite subject and has helped in typing the Scriptus. Cooking is another specialty of Anna’s and, boy, can she cook ! You ought to taste her brownies. Clerical work is her work at the present but there are rumors that that isn’t what she intends to make her life work. How about it, Anna? LOIS WYMAN Mctzie Girls’ Sports — 1 Scriptus — 4 Pro-Merito — 3 Everyone likes Lois and why wouldn’t they? She’s made up of a fine combination of outstanding qualities including deep true friendship and sparkling personality. Lois is another who wishes to take up nursing. No dcubt whatever division of the hospital Lois gets into it will suffer from heart ailments brought on by exposure to one of the sweetest, best-natured girls in the world.
