Barre High School - Barretone Yearbook (Barre, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1945 volume:

BARRETONE Ba rre High School Published by The Class of FOREWORD This volume is a publication of retrospect. The staff has composed a new and entirely different book and has tried to make it more as a memoir for the seniors as they leave their Alma Mater; remembering that newer endeavors and added friends can never obliterate the warm comradeship that exists in the friendliness of Barre High. The most noteworthy change of this yearbook has been to have it lighogra- phically printed instead of the usual printing. Due to the v ar shortages of materials we have tried to include in a minimum space, the accumulated data of student activities. The staff wishes to extend its thanks to Mr. Plynn and other teachers for their much needed advice and assistance in conquering the many difficulties which confronted us in making this publication. A v ord of thanks goes also to the merchants who contributed in the way of financial assistance and advertising. DEDICATION V. ' e, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and forty-five, dedicate our year book, the Barret one, to Mr. Harold G. Allen, our principal. In grateful apprec- iation for the work he has done In furth- ering our academic and athletic Interests while at the same time Increasing the feeling of unity between the student body and the faculty.

Betty Ann ' s up-to-date clothes, and comly brown hair has certainly made her a classmate v;e all envy. When it comes to Prom ' s, or socials, you ' ll always find her with a handsome escort, for Betty Ann Is a popular little miss. Glee Club- 2, 3, 4 Barretone Staff-4 Sports-l Jessie Clemente — — ' Skippy” Jessie is musically inclined and her talent in this field has been an asset to the orchestra all four years of high school. Jessie has an exception- ally likeable manner and is very popular with her associates, Jessie plans to be a concert violinist and it is safe to say she will be an outstanding figure in the music world. A slogan that would apply very well to Jessie is, She shall have music where ever she goes. Orchestra- 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls ' Sports-1, Callahan-1 Betty May Dean — -- Deanle Activities speak for themselves in regard to Deanle ' s ambition and ability. Her qualities of slncereity and loyalty we all concede are un celled. Be it Judson the Hudson or homework; she, her wit and reliability have kept them all running smoothly.

He was always on time for rehearsals, even though he had to walk miles in the cold to get there. Once there, he was willing and anxious to help in every way he could so that the play might be a success . For a past time he spends much of his time read- ing westein magazines. V. ' e wish him success in the future, whatever it may hold. Senior PI ay- 4 Hope Johnson — -- Johnnye Hope has definltly been right on the ball from cheerleading to decorating assemblies.

However, Pete is serious enough to work afternoons in the Barre Wool Combing Company. Glee Club 1,2, 3, 4 James Parsons- Jimmy Jimmy is certainly the good sport Senior. Either you will find him laughing or trying to make someone else do the same. If he has acquired the nickname Dad you will know it came from his dramatic talent in the Christmas Social play and the Senior Play, where he displayed great understanding in acting like a real Dad . Jimmy la noted for his little old fliver too. Glee Club 2 President 2 Senior Play Msirion Rlcchiazzi Ricky Here ' s the girl who will bring life to any party.

Glee Club-2, 3, 4 Barretone Staff-3, 4 Pro-Merlto-3 Scrlptua-3, 4 M.S.P.C.A.-l, 3, 4 Stanley Sokol Jacky When it comes to playing basketball, Stanley la right there. Everyone must agree that he certainly can make baskets and we know that our basketball team would be lost without him, Stanley is very quiet but even so, he never refuses a job put upon him, for he made all our post- ers for the Senior Play and Senior Prom. Stanley tells us he has joined the Navy, — ovir best wishes go with him. Glee Club-1 Baaketball-4 Dominica Sottile — -- Mamie The little girl of purpose. In the commercial room her flying fingers have typed many tests, to many pupils disappointment, and the Scriptus . Also in the Senior Play, Mamie went through as much agony as the cast, because she was the prompter. Mamie’s hair is every girls envy. Her pleasant smile has won her many friends and those brown eyes at times just sparkle with mischief. Glee Club-2, 3, 4 Sports-l Prompter-4 Pro-Merito-3 Scriptus Staff-4 Lucy Tolman- Lu All through high school Lucy has spread good cheer and her svinny disposition will make her popular wherever she goes. Lucy never com- plains about anything, but takes things as they come. Her willingness to help people together with her good-nature will aid her in climbing the ladder of success. Someday we might find Lucy as a famous act- ress, but we know that she has definite plans, that of doing her patriotic duty by being a Wavy Nurse, Glee Club 1,2 Sports 1,2 Emma Yonker- Emra Emma, a very quiet little miss, is a true companion. She has a pleasing personality and her contagious smile makes everyone else want to smile. Emma is always willing to help and finishes every- thing she begins. Emma has been a member of the Glee Club for four years and no doubt her soprano voice will be missed. Emma plans to enter the field of nursing and we know she will be one of the sweetest, best — natured nurses in her division of the hospital. Glee Club-2,3,4 Girls ' Sports-l, 2 Helen Power- Janie Helen is definitely an outstanding member of our class. She is a very clever actress, as displayed by her in the Christmas Social play and the Senior Play. Helen has a great ability toward sports, but more than that she is noted for her cherry manner. Her good nature and willingness to help people, plus her ability in shorthand and typing will certainly help her in her career as a commercial teacher. C-lee Club 4 Sports 1,2, 3,4 Senior Play Debating 4 Earretone Staff 4 Pro Merito 4 SENIORS IN SERVICE Since becoming Seniors, we have lost four of our classmates to the services of Uncle Sam.

Ralph Di Libero- Raf fy Raffy was one of the quiet members of the class, but he v ill remain in the minds of all of us because of his cheerful disposition and his friendly manner. V. ' e wish you, Raffy , good luck in any of your undertakings. George Thorng- Jughead Georme was the up and coming sort of chap, and was willing to try anythin for the first time. No one could help likin George, and all those who fell under the spell of his smile, wanted him as a friend. V ' e were very proud upon hearing of the enlistment of Georre in the Navy. Donald Lang- Don Don will alv ays be remembered for the wonder- ful pdayer he made on the basketball team. The witty remarks of Don made him famous here, and we hope that his circle of friends is as grand as that at Barre Hi . James Gilliland- Gilly Gilly was a happy-go-lucky sort of person who seemed to et along with everyone he came in contact with. Good luck, Gilly, v herever you are, and we hope it v on ' t be lonr before we ' ll be seeing you arain. 9 - 2. J) MAc. aU y99 ' lC- , ' 3 0C ri ' CA C ' ?

A new Senior Class must next year take our places. Triis class of 1946 will take over the many tasks and duties which from time immemorial the Seniors have done. During the last year, the school and student body have come to rely upon the Seniors to carry out these tasks. It may be said that while the classes of 1945, of 1946, of 1947 and so on, graduate, the Senior Class never does. We al’ways have the Seniors. No matter what their ability, what trieir qualifications, they are expected to carry on as well or better than the preceding classes. .,e, of the Senior Class have full confidence in our successors, and believe that they v ill carry on the lesser but not less important tasks. It is not entirely to the small group who lead that we speak. A school is no better than its Senior Class. Every Senior is marked, his behavior commented on, his actions noted. The Senior Class must set an example for the school, not only for this school, but for all younger children in other schools, who must one day, become Seniors. Tnese words are not written with the feeling that the present graduating class has been a model or an ideal. We know where we have failed. ' Ae know where v e have succeeded, and it is with this know- ledge that we pass on to the class of 1946 our best wishes and hope for an even better school next year. We also extend our appreciation to the underclassmen for the way in v hich we have been supported, and may they carry on the traditions of Barre Nigh School. You, the Class of 1945, now stand on the threshold of the world. Some members of the class vrill end their educational endeavors on graduation; others will continue educationally to a greater degree. No matter what happens, v hether you continue or cease your educational pursuits, you know and we icnow that Barre High School has given you a thorough basic training. Today, as all of us are fully aware, a great and terrible con- flict is going on all over the world. The right to work, benefit, and prosper is one of the main Ideals for which we are fighting. In war and in school the good fellowship existing amohg men living together alike in age, and united in tasks, pleasures, and pruposes, is uniformly proverbial . It is your duty as future, worthwhile citizens to keep your- selves familiarized with the great political issues of our country, so when the time comes, you may vote intelligently and have the satisfied feeling of doing your part to keep democracy intact. To express the idea of opportunity, may I quote the follow- ing poem: Yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision. But today, well-lived Makes every yesterday A dream of happiness. And every tomorrow A vision of hope. Anon. You have served as a good company and have done stalwart and efficient v ork. We are proud of you Class of 1945 and sincerely hope that you will be just as successful in life as you have been here at Barre High. THE WHISPER OF THE WALLS In tne mind ' s own picture gallery Though the stones have crumbled since Stands an age old, dear old structure Its the walls of B.H.S. The doors are parting slowly And the memories are warm Though the school house ' s crumbled casement Shows an age and depth forlorn. Are those doorv ays softly calling? Do they bid you take your time? Do they bring back thoughts just fading In a single bell like chime? Look I The sun is streaming inward Tnrough a windows broken pane And the sun beams fall grotesquely Near the head of unfound fame. Yet the halls still echo laughter And the phantoms through the years In a talking group together And their talk does banish fears And the well-worn steps, — Remember? And the times your feet hath trod? And the age old smiling teacner And those assembly prayers to God Harkl the walls are softly calling Do not turn your back and go Remember child of Barre ' Twas her work that made you so There ' s an apple for the teacher Do you see it lying there? Do you see geraniums cluster In there windov boxes fair? Do you see its light of reverence? And its gift of joy supreme? Do you see its tears and laughter? And your love which made it queen? Pass on yonder student Feast your eyes upon its wall And depart forever student For your heart shall bear its call. By Patricia McAndrews FRIENDSHIP Friendship is the truest thing It follows where we go It finds us when we go astray Just how we do not know Here ' s a fact, I ' m sure is true Of all my friends so dear There ' s none of them so dear to me As the ones I have right here. And with this Friendship — bond so true Come Friends bo th young and old That bring such joy to me and you Love holds a blessing unforetold. By Julia Washburn CLASS DAY Vie join in the chorus of Auld Lang Syne And sing with loud voices and keep in time, As we march down the steps of Ole Barre Hi V ith sad faces and eyes for our last good-bye. After four years of waiting Class Day is here But not one of the Seniors do you hear cheer For happy days have come and gone Our school days are over, we look beyond. Freshmen and Sophomores, we ' ve made the grade Juniors, then Seniors, we ' re glad wo stayed Deep in our hearts the memories cling As we raise our voices and proudly sing All Hail Barre High, of you we boast As we gather together, to you we toast. Our hearts are heavy, our spirits gray As we come to the end of our own Class Day. By Lucy Tolman AMERICA AT WAR Millions of fighting men the world over wrote new chapters of courage, determination and a will-to-wln during the past year. The deeds and ac- complishments of these men have already won partial victory for the United Nations in their quest for a lasting world peace. As the struggle continues in its last phase in the East, America looks hack to the months of 1944-1945 with pride in the accomplishments of her valiant fighting forces. Early in 1944 the greatest armada of fighting men and material ever as- sembled began the long-awaited Invasion of Europe. From the air they were blanketed by thousands of bombers, gliders, fighters and transports. It was the most gigantic operation ever attempted by any Army in the history of the world. They met the enemy face to face on French soil... the same soil from which they were repulsed at Dunkirk many months before. The invincible German Army began retracing its plunderous steps. Back Inland to Paris, across the many rivers, into Holland and Belgium the Allied armies raced victoriously. The Whermacht cringed under the mighty weight of air and land forces. Berlin was the goall A meeting with the Russian armies in the East was transformed from a dream to a reality. The Russians, too, had made a tremendous drive. From Stalingrad they moved in lightening strokes toward Berlin from the East. Less than a year after the invasion of Europe the Russian and American forces met in Berlin. The unconditional surrender, decided by the ’Big Three’ as the only manner of defeat was consuaunated at Reims, France by the respective military leaders. Screaming headlines and radio commentators announced the victory in Europ But Americans accepted it soberly .. .with restrained enthusiasm. The Victory was not won yet! Only half of the great struggle for world peace had been realized. There was yet another enemy to be reckoned with in the far-east. The Japanese warlords ignored the European capitulation even as the tottering island empire began to feel the weight of total war from land, sea and air. The past year has been far from a pleasant one for the Nips. They have been blasted from island strongholds and from the jungles of China and Burma. General MacArthur’s boast, after the bitter defeats of Bataan and Corregidor, ”1 will return”, became a reality. Inch by inch his men fought their way from New Guinea into the Island chains that led back to Manila. Amphibious forces struck at Leyte in the Philllplnes to begin the liberation of the American island. A few months later every island in the chain was in American hands. It was a costly victory, but the American fighting men never again gave up one inch to the marauding Jap. Far out at sea the fleet air arm and the mighty dreadnaughts of America’s new Navy assembled for a concentrated strike at the Jap home island. Almost within sight of land, carrier-based Hellcat and Helldiver bombers gave the Nips a taste of American air and sea might in several days of concentrated bombings. Meantime, a new Air Force was formed in the far-east employing the B-29 Superbomber which could fly 3000 miles to bomb Japan and return to island bases. As the months passed the tempo of air war increased daily until great fleets of superbombers carrying gigantic bomb loads rained destruction on Nippon. As America reached the half-way mark in 1945 even the pessimists were predicting an early defeat of the last enemy of peace.

Our extra large class, v hich has proved an asset in many cases, made it impossible for us to move into Room 6 which had fewer seats than Room 1. V e moaned and pleaded, even volunteered to incorporate the bookcase and v aste basket, but to no avail. We were destined to suffer this severe indignation until the early part of February, when the loss of several of our classmates and the use of three portable desks made it Impossible for us to pick up our books, take a deep breath, and move into Room 6, On the afternoon of September twenty-second, we spent much of the time literally sewing up our sides and rolling in the aisles, for we were entertained by the famed Del Obert. The Juniors put up a stiff fight in the ensuing magazine contest, only to find out that we had lost to the Seniors, by the narrow margin of six one dollar bills, A month later, we made a reputation for ourselves with the three-fold event; food sale, fair, and barn dance. The proceeds were--hold your fcats--$110l 1 1 Many thanks to Mrs, Rice for her capability as a fortune- teller. Converting the dust-covered basement of the Unitarian vestry into a spotless dine and dance hall, was the next job undertaken by the class. The girls washed dishes, cleaned silverware, and dusted; while the boys washed the floor and set up tables. And, on the night of the ninth of December, we served one hundred and two people a fine supper of baked beans, scalloped potatoes, cole slaw, pie and coffee. Along about this time, the newly organized school Basketball team, including three Juniors, journeyed to Princeton, That night the first team was chosen and each one of the Juniors, Rudy Neri, Jack Miller, and Francis Cranston, qualified for the A squad, Ramsey DiLibero joined the squad late in the season end played in several games. Dotty Witt, Estelle Pannacione, and Eugenia Sieczkarski represented the class on the Girls ' team which shows much promise for future years. Our class has been changed very little this year, Bruce Lloyd, our math expert, arrived a week after school began. V. ' itnessing his form on the mound during the inter-mural world series, we are expecting some fine pitching too from Bruce this year. On the other hand, Marjorie Bacon left to become the bride of Walter Madsen, Albert Rock left school, and James Buss and Tom Glencross joined the armed forces, Dick Cody has been sworn into the Navy but is remaining in school until he is called to report. The Class of ' 46 resolved to make their Junior Prom superior to all preceding ones. To achieve this goal, the hall was colorfully decorated end Bob Pooley ' s Dixieland Band manufactured some musical masterpieces. The highlight of that May evening being the ring ceremony, directed by a special committee. This new addition to the annual Prom proved colorful and entertaining.

Now, with heads held high we ascend the steps while casting amused glances at the timid Freshmen. To our surprise the home-room of the Sophomores had heen changed from room one to room six, directly across from the Seniors. Thus began the task of choos- ing seats and planning classes. During the first few weeks we elected our class officers. Our president being Prank Sottile with Ann Crowley, Reggie Pranciose, and Ina Belida holding the positions of vice-president, treasurer, and secretary respectively . We soon discovered we had gained three and lost four members, for as we welcomed Bertha Maynard Phyllis V hitney, and James Rich, we lost Dorothy White, Vivian Shepardson and James O ' Dowd. Charles Keddy, a fellow classmate, also left to join Uncle Sam ' s Navy and although we were all sorry to see him go, the Navy ' s need is greater than ours. When the magazine drive began, everyone entered with great enthusiasm but, somewhere along the line, the kids lost interest and v e found ourselves again, 1-2-3-4 amidst the jeers of the Freshmen and laughter of the upperclassmen. Then Miss Rice left for two months and we were instructed by Mrs. Arnold of Petersham who proved to be a very good substitute. The Sophs then gave a social which provided entertainment and refresh- ments for a very eager crowd. On December 23 the annual Christmas Social v as held at which everyone had a fine time. The Christmas That Bounced was a one-act play that greatly amused us . Our class showed what we were made of when we sponsored the spaghetti supper and dance which turned out to be a great success. The spaghetti was prepared by a few mothers of o ar classmates and was it goodi Mrammmrammm . The Freshmen then tried their hand at giving a social. This also was a success and a large crowd attended. The annual debate was held on March 23 in the Assembly Hall and proved very interesting. One of our Sophomores participated and did a grand job. Something new has been addedl A girls ' basketball team on which many Sophomore girls paayed. Among them Priscilla Perry, Eileen Jacobs, Rita Power, Myra Keddy and Frances Beechan. Although they didn ' t win all the games played, they showed enthusiasm and fight . So, considering this being their first year of playing, we all agree they did a swell job. Thus endp our second year at Barre High, In the fall when we mount the steps of B.H.S. we will no longer be Sophs but upperclassmen.

As one Freshman Fledgling said, V eak with fright, the Freshmen ascended the steps into that big mysterious building. Were those upper classmen going to do all they had bragged about? I felt like one of the 600 riding into the Valley of Death. So as young men entering the armed forces are greeted with the famed G.I. clip, the Freshmen were administered the traditional B.H.S. shampoo. By putting ones nose to the breeze, our first week, you could easily smell a Freshman boy by that condemning odor. No sooner had we settled down than we plunged full force into the sales- manship, expectation and anxiety of. the annual magazine drive. Much to our amazement and joy, the money poured in. Our 8 per person goal was over sub- scribed and the new class found themselves running off with the third place honors. October - brought with it out first High School Social sponsored by the Juniors which was soon to be followed by many suppers, dances, and more socials which provided our High School with entertainment. November - brought, after much deliberation, the selection of our Class colors. Practically all combinations under the sun were named but the congloraer ation finally boiled down to brown and gold. The design of our banner was created by Charles Mallozzl. Our new banner is proudly awaiting its Class Day debut . During our stay here at B.H.S. as Freshmen, many of our boys and girls have spent long out enjoyable hours playing Basketball, becoming especially adept at the game and learning the rules and regulations. In our remaining years at High School we are looking forward to seeing a group of our boys united into a fighting invincible team. Our girls have also made history by playing on the varsity team and dis- playing great skills, topping off their success by winning the inter-class competition. Our first taste of sponsoring socials came in March when we entertained the whole school at a St. Patrick ' s Day Social. Our boys contributed some amusing and baffling feats in the fields of betting, surgery, coin throwing and mental telepathy. Tne girls from somewhere dug up some real ice cream and served delicious refreshments. Another group of pupils added shamrocks and painted dancers attached to green and white streamers which produced a gaily decorated hall. Everyone spent an enjoyable evening. As the latter part of our Fresnman year drew near many extra curricular contests popped up and many Freshmen participated. Two Freshmen, Catherine Celona, and Viola Persechino opposing each other, battled in a debate both over the question Should Post War Military Training t .e Compulsory. Each presented worthy and educational argviments. Several of our up and coming artists dipped their paint brushes and concoct ed colorful posters in a contest sponsored by the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. V lth Prize Speaking in the offering several pupils repeatedly went over oratorical speeches in hopes of winning a prize, incidently having a good time, too . Even though we have and are enjoying our first year and new experiences at Barre High, we are looking forvi ard to the time we can call ourselves Sophomores, FRESHMEN FOLLY NAivi: FAVORITE PASTIIvE FAMOUS FOR COLLOQUIALISMS Arthur Allen Girls Clothes I know Charles Allen A Sophomore Rides Nuts Mildred Be chan Farming Cuteness Oh, no Robert Bentley Sleeping Novels Oh phooey Dora Capettl Roller skating Laugh Holy cats Catherine Celona Bicycle Dimples Gee whiz Frances Celona Movies Banjo Phooey Nunzio Celona B.W.C.C.

The orchestra started the program off with a snappy march, which not only gave bright spirit to the audience, but to the contestants also . Many weeks of preparation were put into each of the speeches, and all of them were appropriate, and excellently delivered. The subjects were interesting, and Tony Capello started the program with, ’’Inmate of the Dungeon”, followed by ’’Europe in Suspense”, by Robert Smith, ”V(’e Live to Tell”, by John Milan, ’’Remember Me”, by Hope Johnson, ’’The Birthday”, by Patricia McAndrev , and ” The judges decisions were final a the contestants won prizes as foil Boys Tony Capello Robert Smith John Milan o Long Bill”, by Betty May Dean, the close of the contest, and Girls Patricia McAndrew Betty May Dean Hope Johnson DEBATING On March 23rd, the students of Barre High School and several guests were given enlightening views, both pro and con, on one of the most vital questions concerning our post-war world. The question of post-war military training, a well-debated problem throughout the country, was presented in a fast-moving debate by the members of Barre High School ' s Prize Debating Team. The team was com- prised of Renee Agar, Helen Power, and Catherine Celona, affirmative; Mary Puliaflco, Frank Sottile, and Viola Persechino, negative. Bruce Lloyd, presiding chairman, presented the topic for debate, ’’Resolved: That this house favors compulsory military training in peace time for all eighteen year old boys for a period of one year.” The debate moved to a swift climax with each contestant emphasizing the true importance of the topic at issue. The six debaters held their audience ' s interest throughout the course of the debate. The Judges, with Mrs. F. O ' Toole acting as spokesman, returned their decision promptly. The affirmative side, although highly com- mended on speech delivery, forfeited the title of winner to their opponents. The Judges based their decision on the final statement pre- sented by the negative side, which was, ’’Let the boys returning from this war decide what is to be done.” Congratulations go to the members of the team and the chairman for their very fine work and the facts they presented. To Mr. John Learson, who worked faithfully with the group and to the judges, we wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the part they played in this debate. At the graduation excerclses, June 19th, debating keys, purchased with proceeds from the Mary I. Adams Fund, under the auspices of the Barre V omen ' s Club, will, as usual, be presented to each participant. ORCHESTRA The one extra-curricular activity that has a special period set aside for it is the School Orchestra, It is one of the most enjoyable extra-curricular activi- ties offered at Barre High School, In the Orchestra the players learn to play in harmony with the other instruments and keep correct time. It also gives us fur- ther practice on the instrviment we are playing. Eleven members of the student body formed this year’s orchestra: Francis Cranston, Betty Blsike, and Robert Smith, as pianists; Jesse Clemente, James Scott, and Isabel Shepardson as Violinists; Hope Johnson and Ann Crowley on the trumpets; Dorothy Langlier playing the accordlan; Ross Karlson beating on the drums, and Betty Dean playing the xylophone. Many of the members under the stimulus of Mary Crowley have organized a swing band and have taken the name Melodians, They have progressed rapidly and have cooperated to their fullest extent in supplying the music for all Barre High social activities. From this separate group, we molded our orchestra, making our public debut at Prize Speaking April 26, in the Asserablv Hall, Under the direction of Miss Chase, we played several stirring marches Scarlet and Gray, American Volxin- teers, True to Our Flag, and two other lighter selections Over the Waves, and Dancing Dolls, All agreed we did very well, but we hope that next year we can go on to bigger and better things. Sweeter strains will be floating out from the Assembly Hall, At the exercises commemorating the Senior’s graduation the sweet notes of the maestros will float gracefully blending into the sad atmosphere reminding the alumni of the many happy days at Barre High, CHRISTMAS PLAY On December 21, 1944, the Senior Class presented its annual Christmas play at the Alvimnae Social. The Christmas That Bounced was a comedy in one act with James Parsons as Sam and Renee Agar as Clara carrying the leads, Clara, a rather sel- fish, but lovable character, was giving away Christmas gifts that her friends had given her a few Christmases before. The mix-ups she became entangled in with Sarah , Lucy Tolman, Stella Clark . Helen Power, and Jane Safford , Velna Bordeaux, were straightened out by Jerry Parker , James Gilliland, and his fiancee, Anna Safford , Ruth Flint, The young couple ' s affair was played with real sincerity, and they add- ed the humor in the play, The Christmas That Bounced, Even though our rehearsals seemed to foretell failure, the play went over in a big way, with loads of fun had by everyone, incl-uding Mr, Flynn, our coach. SENIOR PLAY Happy Days , a farce-comedy in three acts presented by the Senior Class on February 16, 1945, was attended by a large audience and went over v ith a great big splash. At 10 tOD o ' clock the public was seen trotting out holding their sides from the many laughs and yells. Ihe play v as chosen by the entire class and rehearsals were held two or three nights a week. Despite all atmos- pheric conditions, the entire cast and Mr. Flynn, our supervisor, shov;ed up and each did his best as an amateur to make the event a successful one, A great amount of time v as also spent in trying to make the dilapidated scenery look like living room walls. But it wasn ' t all work, as we had a lot of fun shov;lng our skill as salesmen, in wallpapering, ushering, and selling pop for the big event. The curtain rises, and we find Renee Agar, as Mrs, Clark, talking to Ruth Flint, her eldest daughter, who ends up as being happily married to John Fox, a yo ung architect. They are expecting Helen Power and George Yonkers as guests of very high standards, and didn ' t want James Parsons, Mr, Clark or Velna, our little trouble-maker who sends the maid, Dorothy Moss out for the after- noon so that she may take her place, to be there when they arrived. But things get complicated v hen Jim returns from his office for a little headache and Velna fools her mother in taking the maid ' s part and serving tea fpr the guests. The audience also roared at Betty Dean who accused everyone in sight of being her Sylvester, when such a name was never heard of in the place, Norman Drolet, while looking for his sweetheart, got entangled with the matrimonial bureau, just as Betty Dean did during her own search. This play will live long in the minds of the Class of ' 45, and we wish to extend our many thanks to Mr. Flynn and Mrs. Powers for their efforts and encouragement . SCRIPTUS In its second year of existence, the Scrlptus, with Mr. Flynn as its guiding light, attempted with success to voice student opinion as well as to chronicle high school news. The editor was elected early in the fall, and directed the paper through the year with great increase in reader interest. New talent was plentiful and an entirely different staff was chosen. After much preparation the first issue v as published which was not as successful as anticipated for it was discovered that a few on the staff were not living up to their literary versatility. Mr. Flynn, the advisor, found it necessary to conduct a meeting to point out the fallacies to the staff. This meeting proved to be just what was needed, for the paper was marked by a noted improvement that reflects great credit on the editors and the members of the respective staff. The paper far surpassed both in literature and in readers appeal than any other previous issue. In addition to the interesting presentation of class news, society, the Roving Reporter , and a pertinent editorial page, several unusual colxomns were featured. Among the best of these, from any standpoint were the Movie, Radio and Book Reviews, the Trading Post and the Miss Fix It column, while the high spots of sports were handled in incomparable style. At the beginning of the year, the staff decided to send copies of the Scrlptus to the servicemen of Barre, which were appreciated immensely. The staff would like to thank Mr. Flynn, a most capable guide, who contri- buted much to make the Scrlptus what it was. And to the Seniors and the Juniors pass the pov er of the press be it theirs to cherish always I GLEE CLUB A week after the opening of the Fall semester, the Glee Club began another routine year at Barre High School. Not much time had elapsed, however, before it was changed from the pattern that it had followed for many years. The boys and the girls were divided into two separate Glee Clubs which met, alternately, every Monday. To most of us, the loss of the harmony offered by the combination of the two groups, was somev hat of a handicap, but with every dis- advantage there must be at least one advantage. That advantage appeared in the type of songs which we sang. The boys never did enjoy singing songs that they termed sissifled. Likewise, the girls preferred songs that had a hint of femininity The combined voices of a group of boys and girls were he d singing the ever-famlliar Christmas Carols at the annual Alumni Social. choir, all of whom were selected from the Glee Clubs, were clad in the c y maroon robes. Although our activities v ere not as extensive as we would have liked them to have been, those that we did engage in were of the same fine quality that the students at Barre High have always been credited with displaying. Miss Helen Chase, who has taught music at Barre for many years and who has guided both the newly-admitted as well as the veterans in the Glee Club over the sharps and flats involved, has well earned our deepest appreciation of her tireless effort to keep our Glee Club the successful organization that it has been in the past. -,etv BARRE WIN? BASKETBALL In preceding years, basketball at Barre High had diminished from a major sport to a mere collection of inter-class games. But last year a gallant band of hoopsmen wno called themselves tne Barre Hornets revived the game oy their feat of placing second in the Orange Tourney. The results of their efforts were seen this year. George Mennard, our able coach of last year, served us again this year. His call for volunteers was answered by about twenty-five gentlemen with high aspirations of becoming basketball players. First came ' calisthenics at High Plains Park, with a little footoall to top off each session. After three v eeks, the boys turned inside where practice be- gan in earnest. The time fairly flev by until the night of Decemuer 12, when ten boys were selected to make the trip to Princeton, The team that came onto the floor that night representing Barre High consisted of centers, Frank DiFonzo and Richard Beard; forwards, Stanley Sokol, Francis Cranston, Gerald Agar, and Frank Sottile; and guards, Norman Drolet, Rudy Neri, John Sokol and John Miller, Before the game, Frank ' DiFonzo and Norman Drolet were elected Go-Captains, In the first quarter, Barre ' s inexperience showed up, out as the game progressed, their superior coaching and capability was revealed and they went on to victory. Next came our old friends, Rutland. This ended with Barre again on the long end of the score, but by only two points. On leaving the floor that night, the boys knew that they had met an almost better team than Princeton, Since most of last year’s team, the Hornets, were home for Christmas, the boys journeyed to Oakham to really see how good they were. The score was 36-35 in favor of the Hornets but would have been greater, more than likely, if the Hornets had had their great center, Tom Finan, to complete their team. Three days later, they traveled to Athol where they compiled their most stupendous score of tne season, 58 points, against a Boy Scout team at the Athol Y.M.C.A. After the game, all, including Coach Mennard, enjoyed a swim in the Y.M.C.A. pool. The next game resulted in one of the defeats for the Barre Team. Over- confidence was the reason given for Barre ’ s defeat, but when, at Florence Hall, there was a repetition of this game, Warren was declared the better team. The only time this year that Barre met Nortn Brookfield ' s Championship team, they were soundly beaten. In this game they saw what four years of play- ing can do for a team. Not only were they outscored, out they were outplayed throughout the game, Barre met two teams, three times apiece this year. The first was Hardwick whom they beat on all three occasions. The first game was the oest as Barre had only a very narrow margin of victory. Yv ' ith Petersham they didn ' t fare as well; winning only one out of the three. The last game, w ' nich was Barre ' s final, was declared to be by far the best game of the Orange Tournament. The lead see- sawed back and forth until, with two minutes to play, Barre tied the score. Since neither team scored in the final minutes, the game was forced into overtime. In the first overtime period Barre took a four point lead but this was quickly made up by the dogged determination of Petersham and the game was forced into another period. The rule is that the first team to score two points in the second overtime period wins the game. It seemed that Barre ' s luck had run out that night as Petersham sank a chance shot from the middle of the floor and went off the victors . Barre played against Troy, New Hampshire in the Tournament and were the losers again. Frank DiFonzo had the honor of being named to the All Tournament Team and received a certificate and medal to that effect. Also included in Barre ' s schedule were return victories over both Princeton and Rutland and two apiece over New Salem and the Mystery Five. f Dorothy Potter Betty Murphy Irene FI nan Eileen Jacobs Estelle Panaccione Dorothy Witt Helen Pov;er Myra Keddy Rita Power Frances Bechan Eugenia Sieczkarski Priscilla Perry Louise Perry Center Forward Right Forward Left Forward Center Guard Left Guard Right Guard Center Forward Left Forv ard Right Forward Left Forward Left Guard Center Guard Right Guard girls’ basketball Did you ever see the girls make their debut at a new and popular sport at Barre High?

In spite of this unfortunate circumstance, no book would be complete without at least a few words written in behalf of the National Pastime. This year will long be remembered by all of us as one of the most phenomenal in meterological history because if all the old axioms paraphrased on New England weather were to be proven then one would merely have to turn back the calendar pages to 1945. To one well versed in the science of weather there must have been a logical answer to all this but to the casual observer it probabJ.y seemed that Mother Nature merely started to luigarb her winter coat with little regard to the time of yeafr. It won ' t be forgotten how people were comfortable in March with only their summer clothes on as the mercury rose well about the seventies and even into the eighties for the -better part of the month. It ' s only natural, also, to get the ball ' and glove out at the first provocation of spring so the baseball season looked as though it might be a long one and even as early as April 15th the pitchers were well ahead of the batters and the batters were well ahead of their usual pre-season form. But this was to be an ill omen as it wasn’t long before Mother Nature seemed to come to her senses once again and recollect that she had completely neglected showering us with some of the miserable mlrky March weather. Therefore, March came in like a lion this year about the middle of April and even at this sitting, in the middle of May, March winds continue to prevail and three inch ' es of snow have been thrown in just to remind us that that we still are liv- ing in New England and changes are as frequent as a woman ' s mind. In spite of all the elements, Mr. Allen called out his forces and put them through the paces at South Barre in preparation of the regular season, A large number of candidates turned out but the squad was soon cut to its usual size. The nucleus of last year ' s team was still with us in the persons of Frank DlPonzo, Rudy Nerl, Nick Mallozzl, Francis Cranston, Dick Beard, Ramsey DiLibero, and Frank Sottlle, but the big problem on hand was to find a capable catcher It is understood that Frank Sottile will carry the burden behind the bat and that Bruce Lloyd, a newcomer to Barre High, will do more than a fair share of the hurling. It might also seem probable that Frank DiPonzo has the first base position sewed up, together with Rudy Neri, Francis Cranston, and Gerald Agar or Dick Beard filling other positions in the inner cordon. In the outfield, Jim Parsons, Norman Drolet, Ramsey DiLibero, Nick Mallozzl and Reggie Pranciose will all see a share of work this season. The season should be well tinder way by now but as we have pointed out in an earlier paragraph the weather has been so bad that the first four games had to be cancelled and now the team is beginning to won- der Just when a pleasant day will present Itself. John Miller is the manager this year and at latest reports he has contacted and scheduled games with Rutland, Hardwick, Wlnchendon, St. Peter ' s of V orcester, Orange, North Brookfield and Spencer. They say that every cloud must have a silver lining so we are eagerly hoping that the lining will show Itself soon and that it will bring with it many victories for the ball team this season High School Opens 1944 Ball Season With Orange High The Barre High School baseball team open ed its 1944 season yes- terday afternoon, tackling at the first shot, a school much l arger Barre High Downs David Prouty High at Spencer, 6 to 2 The Barre High School baseball team ran its string of victories to five yesterday as it downed the David Prouty High School of Spen- cer by the score of 6 to 2.

SALVADORE PITCHES BRILLIANTLY IN HOME GAME Behind the superb pitching of Paul Salvadore an underdog Barre High team kept a small gathering at Barre Plains in joyful spirits for over two hours Tuesday after- noon as they look the play away from their favored opponents and BASEBALL COACH FLYNN APPEAI5 FOR TOWN AID IN ATHLETIC FIELDS Paul B. Flynn of the Barre High School teaching staff and coach of baseball, appeared before the se- lectmen Monday evening and asked that board ' s assistance in the matter of obtaining funds for athletics at the school. The selectmen stated that they would be glad to assist in any way they could, but pointed out that money lor the schools would have to come from the School Commit- tee or by article in the town war- rant. Mr. Flynn said that he un- derstood that in other towns mon- ey for school athletics was made available from town funds. The selectmen agreed that one of the greatest needs of the young people was athletic eguipment — that for several years the board had realized that fact — but that the matter was entirely within the control of the School Committee. They suggested that Mr. Flynn take this matter up with the School Committee for action, and, if it found that such action re- quired money from the town, they as a board would give their whole- hearted support. Mr. Flynn further stated that an athletic field was not available at the present time. He said that, as most of the athletes came from the south part of the town, the High Plains field had been used in the past, but that the field was not usable, because of the skating rink that was erected last winter. He said that the field needed con- siderable work done on it to make it usable for baseball, and asked the selectmen to give their aid. It was pointed out by the selectmen that this field is owned by The Barre Wool Combing Co., Ltd., and that because it is priyate property the selectmen have no jurisdiction. The members of the board suggested that Mr. Flynn contact the mill authorities, and if the permission of the latter is granted, the selectmen would be glad to co-operate to the extent of giving the use of road machinery ! equipment, to be operated by vol- unteer help to scrape the field and put it in shape. Mr. Flynn then brought up the need for work at Felton Field to make that diamond usable, and the selectmen pointed out that the control of this field is in the hands of the Felton Field Trustees, and that they should be contacted in the matter. The board, however, BARRE LOSES TO ST. PETER’S IN NINTH INNING RALLY With victory practically assured as they went into the final half of the ninth inning, leading 3 to 2, Barre High felt the doings of the much-talked-of Gremlins and also saw the shadow of misfortune cross their path as St. Peter ' s High, from Worcester, combined a couple of hits, a walk and an er- ror for two runs, to give Barre their second defeat of the season agains tseven victories. Paul Salvadore was on the mound for the locals and he pitched well enough all the way to win any ordinary game. Only three hits had been made off him in the first seven innings, but in the final two sanzas he tired slightly while his defense also slumped be- hind him. Barre scored first in the fifth inning on a base on balls and singles by DiFonzo and Masulaitis. They picked up two more in the next inning, as Paul Salvadore slammed out a round-tripper with Rudy Neri on base. That ■was all the scoring for Barre, but it kept them in the lead until the very last inning. St. Peter’s had planned on only a seven inning game and were willing to concede the game to Barre after the end of that inning, but Barre was anxious to make it the regulation distance, so went on for two more innings, which la- ter proved to be their downfall; but those are the tricks of fate, and everyone accepted the out- come with satisfaction. walked off with a well deserved victory by the score of 5 to 1. Orange High was the first to score when, in the third inning, they combined two walks, an error and a hit by Carlson, to score their only run. This was the first time Salvadore was under pressure, but he prov ed his mastery by striking Barre High Nine ' Is Doing Well in Its Final Games i I Defeats Rutland and Hard ; ' wick and Loses to St. Pe- ter’s Higk of Worcester in Heartbreaking Finish. | RUTLAND SUCCUMBS TO ' BARRE POWER ! Being able to hit Rutland pitch- ers almost at will and rolling up a ffootball score, the Barre High School baseball team steamrol- lered to their sixth straight tri- umph at High Plains last Thurs- day afternoon. Even the local spectators were in sympathy with the ■visitors when the Barre boys batted around three times in the eighth inning and it seemed as if the fire department would have to be called to get the home team out. Principal Allen, Barre -coach, played all his substitutes, in the hope that the game would end by supper time but even that didn’t Quell the onslaught. That the bat- ting was heavy is obvious from the fact that every man on the Barre tea mmade at least one hit, with extra-base hits being a spec- ialty. HARDWICK FALLS BEFORE BARRE, 19 TO 5 Following the usual routine of Barre opponents this year, Hard- wick bowed early in the game to the unmerciful attack of our bats- men against their pitchers and lost to a far superior Barre team by the score of 19 to 5. Masulai- tis went the distance on the mound for Barre and had little trouble keeping the foe in hand al- lowing them only five hits while striking out 16. His support in the field behind him was pretty rag- ged in spots as his team made six i miscues, but still, because of the i fact that the boys were hitting, it : made little difference as to the ] final outcome.

BROOKFIELD, 15 TO 2 I In the final game of the Barre High School baseball schedule, played at North Brookfield yester- day afternoon, Barre completed their most successful season by easily defeating North Brookfield to the tune of 15 runs, 17 hits and 2 errors against 2 runs, 7 hits and 6 errors for the opposition. Salvadore tossed up a 7-hitter, duplicating his performance of the day before when he lost in the ninth inning to a strong St. Pe- ter’s nine at ' Worcester. The game yesterday was practi- cally in the bag after the third inn- ing when Barre gathered five runs on four hits to go ahead eight to one. In that big third, DiFonzo started the inning by flying out to right field. Then Persechino and Neri singled and Salvadore reached on a fielder’s choice while Perse- chino scored. Cranston then slammed out a terrific triple, scor- ing Neri and Salvadore. Puliafico struck out for the second out, but then an error and two bases on balls were squeezed in to bring the total for the inning to five. Previous to this North Brook- field had scored one in the first on . a double, a single, and a base on balls. Their last run was gotten in the seventh on a triple and a sin- gle but it was far too late, as Barre had been adding a run or two all along the route. In the eighth Neri poled out the longest home run seen in this vicinity all year. This game concludes the season for Barre giving them a seasonal record of 8 won and 2 lost, which isn’t a bad percentage in any man’s league. Rudy Neri led the team in individual battiug aver- ages -with 27 hits in 54 trips to the plate making an even .500. Oresto Persechino was the next in line with an average of .458. .Ad UtZAZ -AJA A-r AA- THn 3(.Acn AA. -AA OAiy -AJJAjaAyrval ' ::64jdAuy 2 ..axA zyvc.

Now they’re over. Yet it requires hut a fraction of a second for your memory to retrace its steps and take you back to the first grade. You were both excited and thrilled then, just as you are now, but that was merely the beginning of your great educational adventure. You had just begun to learn the fundamentals that were so essential for the rest of your journey down the long road to success. You thought you would be different than your predecessors, but you weren ' t — you got just as many black eyes and just as many reprimands . By the time you had reached the second grade, you knew your ABC ' s and you could read a little. It was hard, but finally you managed to stumble over those big four-letter words and you were pretty proud of yourself. Ihe third grade found you reading like a master, but now, you added another feather to your cap--mistakes on your arithmetic papers were slowly fading out of existence and one hundred ' s became more frequent. In the fourth grade, you were studying history and geography. You chalked this up as another of your achievements. Ihus, you had ended the first quarter of your trip, and prepared for eight more years of study. Recitations began with your entrance into the fifth grade. You remember how red-faced you were when you stood before your classmates that day and gave your first (you wished it v ere your last) oral speech. Your feet felt like canoes as you tried to maneuver them back to your seat which (just your luck) was in the very rear of the room. Your first recitation had been a miserable failure . The seventh grade rolled around; graduation was just a year away. You watched with growing anticipation as t he members of the graduating class made secret plans and excited preparations, but you had to be content with being just another onlooker. Now it was your turn I You were an eighth grader. You were looking ahead to the day when you would cross the stage, shake hands with the superintendent and take that coveted docunent--your first diploma--the symbol of eight years of work and the milestone at the halfway mark of your trip. You thought that vacation would never end, but it did, and you found your- self at Barre High School. Now, you began to wish that vacation had been extended. VVhy v ere those upperclassmen gaping at you with such cold, heartless eyes? Was it something disagreeable to be a Freshman? Detention for one whole weekl 7 hat a dreadful thought, but you survived everything, and went on to the Sophomore Class. This was much betterl You were treated as a member of the fold , and you finally decided why Freshmen were held in such apparent scorn. You literally sailed through your Junior Year. The Prom was your keynote this year. Everything was perfectl The dance, the decorations, and your date. At long last, you were coming down the finish line I You were a Senior I This year was packed with activities and you almost regret its end. Suddenly you hear your name cllled, and the memories which you have just this instant revived, slip back into place. Confidently you walk forward. Your not trembling, nov , you ' re a Senior and you ' ve gained poise during the past twelve years. • You ' ve won a victory, and your smile is bright in recognition of this fact. Your victory is a personal one. You ' ve conquered all the obstacles along your way, and you proved to yourself that you can succeed. Nov , you ' re ready. Come what may.
