LEO TAMKUS LEO Leo Is one -of the more quiet members of the class of 46. Despite his shyness he often contributes comical answers and should the subject be automobiles he can really go to town. Bearing well in mind our Senior Play, we all express our thanks to Leo for providing us with the sound effects and property arrangements. Leo ' s ambition is to become an engineer and we know that he will be a great success in this chosen profession. Glee Club 1,2,4 Senior Play RALPH WILBUR PERCY Ralph is one of the busiest fellows in our class. He has an agreeable personality and when- ever assistance is needed Ralph willingly lends a helping hand. His reigning interest seems to be music and poetry. In work ne has labored diligently and in play he has been jolly and humorous. We will rememoer how, through untiring efforts, he has managed many of the affairs of our class, including the business managing of the Junior Prom and the Barretone.

Dancing is one of Dot ' s natural talents, but she also sings and plays the piano. Dot, though a member of the girl ' s basketball team, will be remembered in connection with sports, mostly for her remarkable cheerleading of which she was in charge. We hope Dot will achieve many good things in the future and reach the goal she has set for herself.

EUGENIA SIECZKARSKI JIGGS Jiggs is very pleasant to know. She is full of enthusiasm and always eager to be of assistance to anyone. Her cheerful disposition, personality, and friendliness have won her many friends. She is very fond of sports, participating in basketball, volleyball, and softball, and writing the Girls Sports for the Scriptus. Eugenia ' s ambition is to be a telephone oper- ator . Having her as a classmate has helped make our four years in Barre High enjoyable, and Jiggs is one pal who will be missed in the years to come. Barretone 4 Scriptus 4 Glee Club 4 Pro Merito 3 Basketball 3 Volleyball 1, 2 Softball 1, 2, 3, 4 SYLVIA SNYDER SYL Throughout her four years in Barre High, Syl has been voted the girl with tne best disposition. She is also a personality plus girl and certainly lives up to her reputation of friendliness and good feeling. She is always willing to help someone out, and a good example of that was ner diligent work on the Junior Prom decorations. She plans to be a Medical Secretary and we know her sunny smile will be welcome in any Doctor ' s office. Secretary 1 JOSEPH SPASARO JOE Quiet and restrained Joe possesses the admi- rable quality of being able to laugh at a joke on himself. His chemistry genius might be compared with that of Edison. Although Joe never took an active part in the school sports curriculum, his lusty cheering could always be heard above the others at basketball games, and in the intra-class football games he proved him- self an unstoppable halfback. Joe ' s tenor voice v ill always be remembered as a feature of general chorus. His quiet laughter, and gentle humor will never be forgotten by any of his classmates. JUNE SWINDELL GWENDY Gwendy has the ability to study and to know her school subjects very well. Taking full ad- vantage of her four years of drawing, she did remark- ably well in painting some of the scenery for our Senior Play, Cat O ' Nine Tails. The Scriptus has found Gwendy to be an excel- lent class reporter this year and she showed her dramatic ability by acting in our Christmas play. We know Gwendy v ill succeed in whatever she tries because of her cheerfulness and willingness . M.S.P.C.A. 3,4, Pro Merito 3 Scriptus 4

HELLO WORLD Are those gold paned roads for me? Those that reach across the burning sky Those that bow before the shining stars Are they for me? Do you mean that I should trod them? That I should pick my way? That I should walk those diamonds Or that sunbeam’s startled ray? Oh it’s all encased in silver. Do you entrust me pray? Me? To choose some journey On my graduation day? They’re all so like a melody A concert and the sea, Rising like a rhapsody Whose song is haunting me. Which shall I choose? They beckon All across the years Sprinkled here with stardust. Sprinkled there with tears. Those golden roads, they haunt me. They becken and they turn. Lilting soft expressions Like the cadence of the fern. But are they really golden? Or shall they tarnish soon? Are the mountains only hidden By the glories of the moon? And see that dark road yonder. How it turns and twists so free. Will its darkness sudden ending Near the beauties of the sea? So here I’m standing proudly In my silken gown of white, Y ith a piece of parchment paper And a vision glowing bright. The diamonds and the sunbeams Always shield a shallow world, But the straight path and the narrow Is a banner brightly furled.
