BARRETONE 29 CLASS OF ’46 The class of ’46 began their sec- ond year at Barre High School by adding two members — both of the masculine gender, which at that time opened the eyes of the girls. By name they were Ross Ka.rlson and Chester Morrison. With the coming of Ross we were given a second “Gene Krupa.” With Chet we merely appropriated a “Circus.” The losses of the class included Phyllis Whitney, Robert Sczuzka, Frank Amsden, Edna Kowal and Jeannette Perreault. We were all sorry to have them leave its. In the yearly magazine drive the Sopho- mores took third place which gave them the “pleasure” of providing entertainment for the upper-class- men. By the way, Tom Glencross, who joined us in October, was the main attraction of this entertain- ment. About this time Mr. Thur- low left. Soon after this the class of ’46 took to “shedding tears,” for Mrs. Cronin — our English and French teacher who left us. Replacing Mr. Thurlow as our geometry teacher came Miss Peters. Another loss was Mr. Shan- non, our home-room teacher, some- one whose memory will never leave us. Into our fold we took Mr. Learson who seemed to manage quite well. The Sophomores turned out very well to cheer the Barre Hornets at their basketball tournament. And one of our classmates, Dottie Witt, was a cheer leader. The Sopho- mores also contributed toward a gift for our principal, Mr. Dawson, who left us for the Merchant Ma- rine. We mustn’t forget Mr. Flynn, who took over the Sophomore English and the Sophomore girls who took over Mr. Flynn. Espec- ially one girl, and she couldn’t be a dancer, could she? The Sophomores have several boys who are members of the “Thrasher Boys” and also girls who are “Thrasherettes.” Tom Glen- cross entered the Prize Speaking contest and honored the Sopho- mores by taking second prize. We had a Sophomore-Freshman social which went off with a bang, al- though there were a few interrup- tions. During our social we were entertained by a group of boys singing Mairzy Doates and a little ditty by the Supersuds Chorus. Ralph Wilbur conducted a Truth and Consequences in which he stumped many members. Our guests at the social were Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Swan, Mr. and Mrs. John Saville, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Allen and Mr. Charles Rush. The greater part of the evening was taken up by dancing. Barbara Carlisle and Merton Ba- ker were the Sophomore represen- tatives at the Junior Red Cross meeting in Worcester. As you probably know, the Sophomores have two Latin “wizards” in their midst. They are Francis Cranston, who received “Magna Cum Laude,” and Barbara Backus, who received Cum Laude. Latin diplomas were also received by Barbara Backus, Fay Dickson and Francis Cranston. These awards will be presented at the graduation exercises on June twentieth. Last year the class of ’46 were unable to obtain gold felt for their banner and used oilcloth as a sub- stitute. This year we have obtained the gold felt and our banner will be completed by Mrs. Skelly. The re- modeling of the banner was done by two Sophomore girls with the help of the president, Rudy Neri. Of course, the Sophomores have the job of decorating the front of the school for class day. This us- ually means making the daisy let- ters and chains. Raymond Reed, a former class member, is now in the Navy.
