Barre High School - Barretone Yearbook (Barre, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1947 volume:

DEDJCATJON We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and forty-seven, dedicate our year book to Mr. Flynn whose advice, criticism, and assistance have upheld the high stand- ards making the Barretone a fine book. The Barretone is not the only literary activity that comes under the supervision of Mr. Flynn. The Scriptus, our school newspaper, owes much of its sxiccess to his guidance. He has guided us through a trying year: he coached our successful Senior Play; and we consider his advice invaluable. Therefore, with sincerest gratitude we dedicate this book to him. OFFICERS RICHARD BEARD DICK There is no need of introducing Dick. Everyone ' knows him lor his comical actions and expressions. However, on the serious side, Dick ' s never-failing cooperation is admired by his fellow classmates. Dick has also been very active in sports at Barre High. He has served four years on the baseball nine and three with the basketball squad. Out of school hours, Dick will always be found at his post at the garage. This is the number one interest and he hopes to make it his career. President 3,4 Baseball 1,2, 3, 4 Basket- ball 2,3,4 Senior Play 4 Volley Ball 1,4 REGINALD PRANCIOSE REGGIE R e ggi® is the comical character of the Senior family. He is a happy-go- lucky fellow but never denies his business as a moving picture operator. His willing- ness to co-operate has been surpassed by few as was significant when he took up the responsibilities of the Senior Play scenery and the sound effects. As manager of the basketball team for three years, and utility member of the baseball team, Reggie portrayed his inter- est in sports. Reggie ' s real ambition, however, was to reveal his latent powers as a chemist. (We held him back.) He plans to become manager of a thea- ter, and he claims he will, too. Treasurer 1,2,4 Glee Club 3,4 Scriptus 1 Baseball 1,2,3 Barretone 4 Basketball 2,3,4 Moving picture operator 1,2, 3, 4 FRANCES BECHAN FRAN Fran , the girl with the smile, is an outstanding member of our class. Her popu- larity and ability have made her vice- president. Fran is always willing to lend a helping hand. Nothing is too difficult for her to tackle, as she has an extraordinary way of going about things and everything she does is done well and inevitably in a cheerful manner. Fran is to be commended for her capa- ble handling of Scriptus material during her last two years in high school. We all congratulate her on winning the D.A.R. award. Fran is a high ranking student and she has specialized in com- mercial work. She plans to further her edu- cation in that field. Vice-president 4 Secretary 1 -Barretone 4 Scriptus 3,4 Basketball 2 Pro Merito 3 Prize Speaking 2 Dramatic Club 3 Softball 1 INA BEL IDA Ina, one of the most energetic girls in our class, always manages to get her work done on time. Her neat appearance and pleasing personality make her a peach of a gal. As secretary of the class for the past three years her time has been fully occu- pied with numerous correspondences. She will always be remembered for her portrayal of a ten year old child in the Senior Play and we cannot easily forget her acting in the Christmas Play, Christmas Is A Racket. Ina plans on going to college following graduation and there Is no doubt that her ambition will bring her success In any chosen field. Secretary 2,3,4 Pro Merito 3 Barretone 4 Scriptus 4 Volley Ball 1,4 Senior Play 4 Gerald Agar Jerry Is the type of person one Is likely to find where things are not too quiet. He Is a lover of 3ports and can readily solve any problem with sports Involved. In his four years at Barre High Jerry won high acclaim as a pitcher and an lnfielder. Jerry will always be remembered for his knowl- edge of current events In the American History class. It was surpassed by very few In the school. Treasurer-3 Scrlptu3-4 Baseball-2,3,4 Basketball-2,3,4 Prize Speaking-3 Anthony Cappello- Tony Although on the surface Tony tends to be a rather reserved person, those of us who really know him have found him to be a worthwhile person with a fine sense of humor. He is the sort who is always willing to do some small favor for any of his class- mates. He is inclined to be rather studious and was awarded the pro-merito pin last year as a result. Tony ' s interest in writing won for him the position of Scriptus Editor. Scriptus 1 ,4 Glee Club l,2,o,4 Pro Merito 3 Prize Speaking 2 Senior Play 4 Mary Cornacchia Mary is the charming little liberal of our class. She has an effervescent personality, and is embued with energy and ambition. Her sense of humor is innate as her friends can well testify. Mary is an honor student and takes her school work very seriously. Her one ambition is to be a social worker in the field of Labor. Her class wishes her success and the best of luck. Glee Club-2,3,4 Senior Play-4 Pro Merito-3 Bebating-3 Volley Ball-1,4 Ann Crowley- Ann Ann ' s artistic talents and musical abilities certainly have won her the respect and admiration of the entire class. Whether it was decorating for socials and proms or taking part in an entertain- ment, Ann was always on hand to do her part and more. Her neatness and charm are the envy of all her classmates and her popularity rates an A plus. We cannot doubt that Ann will make a success in the future in her chosen field. Vice President 1,2,3 Scriptus 3,4 Barretone 3,4 Orchestra- 1 ,2,3 M.S.P.C.A. 3 Callahan 2,3 Josephine D1 Fonzo- M Pina Everyone probably will recall that Pina was a shy and quiet individual when she entered Barre High School. As time advanced, however, she became, a very popular miss. Josephine is always willing to lend a helping hand to anything or anybody and does her duties whole heartedly. In work or in leisure moments she displays a jovial disposition. Pina is an up-to-date dresser and a whiz in typing. Ask any young man around and they will testify to the truth of the statement that Pina is a very good dancer. Scriptus-4 Barretone-4 Volley Ball-4 Class Marchal-3 Frances Dogul If there is anything to get out on the Scriptus Frances Is always there to do the work. Her pleasant disposition and friendly manner make many friends for her wherever she goes. She is well liked by her associates at work as well as In school. Her ability to take things as they come will make life enjoyable for herself and for all those who may come in contact with her. Scriptus 4 Basketball 1,2,4 Softball 1,2, 3, 4 Volley Ball 1,2, 3, 4 Lauris Glidden Lauris, the scientific genius of the class, has amused us in the past with his many wierd inven- tions and contraptions, and his ability to work out an Involved mathematical problem is to be envied. His bright answers In class have never failed to give us a laugh, for wherever there ' s Lauris things are never dull. We certainly wish Lauris the best of luck in the future.

Her spontaneous humor and wholehearted friendliness are her greatest assets. Quiet beauty and an appealing smile serve to intensify this rare talent. Angie took the Commercial Course in school but her speciality is cooking. This is a pleasant mem- ory to any lucky recipient as testified by members of the Senior Play Cast. Angie will always occupy a warm spot in our hearts, and our sincere wishes for happiness go to her. 3criptus-4 Softball-1,2 Lena Puliafico- Nina Lena is a quiet little miss and though she is not active or boisterous, she is found to be an ar- dent and sincere individual. She has been so quiet through her four years of high school that only those who know her well know her true worth. However, inspite of her retiring nature she has made us see that she has a pleasant personality and much integrity which should stand her in good stead through the years to come.

When a group is in the laboratory he is among the first to make the experiment a success. It may truthfully be said that John has made practical use of his years in high school.

Phyllis had discontinued school but knew that an education would mean much to her and joined us in our Sophomore year. She has plans to take up nursing upon gradua- tion and we wish her the best of luck. SENIORS IN SERVICE We saw V-J day celebrated two years ago but still we have four of our classmates serving in the armed services. They left behind their studies and old friends to serve in different branches of our armed forces, and although we were reluctant to see them go, it was with a feeling of deep pride that we watched them give their services to Uncle Sam. However, it was the same way in schools all over the country for when these young men saw a duty before them more urgent and important than studies and classrooms, they did not hesi- tate to answer its call. Nicholas Simeone and Samuel Staiti were the first to go. They left us February, 1946 for the Navy. Nicky is at sea now with a second class seamen ' s rating. Sammy is stationed at Virginia Beach with a third class gunner ' s ratin George Janulevicus and Robert Carpenter left us in October, 1946. George went to radio school after his training at Parris Island. Robert is going to school at Camp Le Jeune in South Carolina. Both boys are privates. We will miss them on graduation night but we will be proud of them also, for they are serving us and helping to maintain the peace of the world which is so necessary to our future. by Angeline Prada Four joyous years we’ve spent here Within your friendly walls; Too swiftly time has vanished Since we first sought your halls. Tis you that taught us honor In daily thought and deed The path of beauty follow And truth the rule to heed. Our carefree days are finished Our youth is passing by As now we face a new life With will and mind to try Fond memories of Barre With each one here will dwell As gratefully we linger To say one last f arewell l Our days at school prepared us To meet and know success; Dear Barre High we owe you Our love and happiness I And as we travel onward Although our trials be rife With hearts held high we ' 11 battle Against the storm of life I COMMENCEMENT How fast the days have deepened into years With swiftness such that makes our hearts afright For now are banished all our childhood tears And lo I We’ve grown to meet Commencement night. Put though we face a new inviting sphere Our thoughts are fused in tantalizing blend-- ’Tis strange that in our joy we Seniors fear-- This time when Life begins and school hours end I ? v:?- y y 4-t-ZZ c y CLy UZ - y y L 0 2 UtAiJ-y y 2 C A 0- -Z s Zt toltyt 4jC - ■ .

This class being no different than any other has iound itself confronted wit h the same predicaments many of which seem impossible at first glance, but, what is there that cannot be conquered? This class now is like a ship on its maiden voyage sail- ing out into the sea of the world seeking its given fortune. Ihe ship will have its set back and so must we, out here in school we have to prepare ourselves to meet these shortcomings. Remember when we were fresh- men and we were told to select the course best suited to ourselves and to our abilities. Well, here we are seniors and our four years are over. Are we any more ready to set out and meet the world now or are we still in the immovable stage? Let’s take one last gander and dec 5 de. Some have the advantage of go- ing on to college and be able fur- ther to adapt themselves. But those of us who must go now and find work will discover it more difficult than it appears on the surface. t ' or this is the end--the finis of our education. How will we fare com- peting against the one next to us for work? Will he or I get the job? It ' s pretty difficult and maybe in a few years we will be wishing, like we were always told, we were back once more in school. Now we all laugh when we think of that, hut there may come a day. •Two of the great advantages they say we have on our side for at- taining success are the blindness of youth and the will to make the learn- ing from the experience of our par- ents supplemented by our twelve years of education. If we are pre- pared, set out, and without a doubt we will overcome life ' s obstacles and achieve the goal we have in ml nd. A SENIOR’S CHALLENGE We are graduates now and should have our thoughts about life and our own particular code of ethics well settled in our minds. Our time has come to make nse of our plans. col- lege, job, or trade that has been a vague thought or dream for four years is about to become a reality. Many graduates do not seem to be aware of this and are still dreaming. But whether we are still considering or have our plans all made there are some- things we should all remember. Whatever our aim is in life we should aim high. Never let us set our Ideals low lest we fall short of our mark. If we set our roal at the top we may have to work harder to attain it but no worthwnile object was ever gained without effort and sacrifice for these are what make the object worth while. We should remember not to let life discourage us. o far in life we have been sheltered by our parents, teachers and friends who have helped and prodded to make us do our best. After gradu- ation we are going to be on our own, and it will be our responsibility if we succeed or fail. We owe something to ourselves and to those who are connected with us. Our life is never our own entirely no matter how hard we try to alter this fact. If we accept this and adjust our- selves to it life will be happier and smoother than if we try to rebel a- gainst it. We don ' t usually like advice but sometimes it helps a little to listen to it. We don ' t have to take it but it may help us when we are making our own decisions so remember these few facts writt en on this page. By the same measure we should not set our goal too far beyond our capa- bilities. Discouragement often sets in in this case and the work is given up entirely. It is well to be ideal- istic but we must be realistic also for pure idealism can be very impractical at times.

This was our first day as upperclassmen and that Junior smile lit up every faoe. However, during the following year that smile was subject to some strange in- versions . One of the more difficult tasks of that memorable day was getting acquainted and reacquainted. This was accomplished much more easily than we thought possi- ble as we met the new teachers and welcomed back our regulars. We immediately adjusted ourselves to the now familiar routine and elected the following as class officers: President, Bob Smith; Vice-President, Catherine Celona; Secretary, Irene Finan; Treasurer, Charles Mallozzi. At this, our first, meeting class dues were set at $1.50. The first, and one of the most popular, event of our school year was the Magazine Drive. Every Junior was out selling subscriptions, and not one of us will forget the bitter disappointment of that last day of the drive. We didn ' t win, although we came as close to winning as we possibly could, but we most certainly did give the Seniors a run for their money. At the ice cream social we had the unsurpassed privilege of watching the Seniors ' faces as they gobbled down ice cream and cookies. November introduced Athletics to Barre High as an enthusiastic group of Junior boys and girls participated in the Little World Series among the classes. Many thrillingly exciting games were played for the benefit of all and we came out on top in a good number of them. The most popular sport of Barre High, Basketball, made its appearance in Nevember. Many gruelling hours of practice followed, as the best men were chosen from those who tried their utmost to make the team. Ihe Juniors who survived the ordeal were: First team C. Mallozzi, G. Simeone, A. Simeone, C. Allen, J. Milan, H. Quick; J.v ' s T. Richiazzi, G. Jankowskas. These boys helped bring the team to a successful season of 10 wins and 9 losses, and also into the Orange Tournament. December brought the eagerly awaited Christmas Social, a Senior sponsored affair which Introduced Frankie ' s Swingsters, a newly organized orchestra to Barre High. Two Juniors, Bob Smith and Dominic Sidoti, helped make their debut a true success. Our one attempt at raising money followed in the form of a Spaghetti Supper and Dance held on March 1st. We have the students ' mothers who cooked the spaghetti and prepared the supper to thank for the success of the affair. Frankie ' s Swingsters played for the dance that followed. The close of the year had many Juniors running in circles from one activity to another. Debating occupied the time of C. Celona, D. Capetti, V. Persechino and B. Smith, who made up the first team. They participated in two debates with Grafton and the annual Women ' s Club debate. After a very trying session with the problem of class rings, the matter was finally straightened out and we received them for the Junior Prom, held on May 16th. This event, the most prominent of our social calendar, is the most looked forwerd to by all classes. The hall was beautifully decorated in a stardust and roses theme. Music was furnished by Micky Sullivan’s orchestra and a good time was had by all. Prize Speaking and Callahan followed in quick succession with a large number of Juniors displaying their various arts and talents. Thus ended our third year in Barre High. We are now looking forward to next year when we will be sophisticated Seniors.

V. ' e were greeted by a practically new faculty the most prominent member being I ' . Dawson, our former principal, who hau just returned from active duty with the Maritime Service. Reinforced with Miss Wheeler, our homeroom teacher, we soon became ad- justed to the new routine. Our first business to settle was the election of class officers, those wno came out with the honors were Richard Baker--President, Sally Lang — Vice President, Rose Aliquo--Secretary and Romeo Salvadore — Treasurer. It was also decided to leave our class dues the same--$1.50. In the musical assembly the Sophomore class was amply represented with Ann Stevenson and Marion Cometo playing a piano duet. Then came our memorable projects. Mr. Flynn started them off with a pro- ject on Thanksgiving while Miss Murray and Mr. Mclnerny followed suit. Re- cuperating from these Mr. Flynn cane through with the master touch — a thesis on Christmas. The first social event of the year was the Christmas Social; a gala af- fair which was well attended by the Sophomore Class. After the Christmas vacation we were ready to start afresh. We were greeted by a new schedule that gave us forty more minutes per day to enjoy school. Among other changes we had the opportunity to have physical training during our recess period under the capable instruction of the Vets. There was a great deal of competition with the class dues and when we had just $3.00 more to go we felt quite confident that the $10.00 reward would be ours; no wonder we were disappointed when the Seniors claimed that most coveted award. Looking at our calendar we were amazed to find our time was running short and we hadn’t done a thing to promote funds in our treasury. We planned to have a Sophomore Hop with ail the trimmings and were very much disillusioned when we learned it was impossible to have it after vacation because of it being so close to the Junior Prom. Disappointed, but rallying our wits about us we decided to sponsor a food sale. Another unique v ay to fill our gaping treasury was the selling of emblems in our class colors at a few cents profit. Now con- tented we sat back and watched the profits roll in. Again we had that pleasant intermission known as vacation. This time we met our fellow classmate in the wierdest places--around river bends, between rocks or knee deep in streams. The Soph ' s certainly hailed the fishing season with an enthusiastic reception. Our Sophomore year was now coming to a close and with it it brought its various extra curricular activities in which many sophomores took an active part. Looking back at our Sophomore Year we hope that we have done our portion to make Barre High the fine reputable school that it is.

Traditionally v e were met by hospitable sophomores who escorted us to the base- ment-need I go further? We were then introduced to our home room and also our home room teacher Mr. Mclnerny. As the day wore on we freshmen boldly passed from room to room usually hopelessly ending up in the wrong place--any wonder? Dismissal bell at one-thirty was not soon enough for us bungling freshmen. Al- though there were thoughts of anticipation about the four star-studded years ahead. First assembly certainly had us scared especially when those dear sophomores filled our listening ears with gory tales of what would take place. And the cheering reception we received from the ' upperclassmen did nothing to boost our morale. We shall never forgive them for shouting solos . Perhaps we weren’t too bad though as many of us got into Glee Club and other musical activities. After becoming acquainted with our classmates v e elected class officers. They were as follows: president, Arthur Mallinson; vice president, Marion Guertin; treasurer, Samuel Goodwin, and secretary, Cynthia Gilbert. We were soon caught in a whirl of extra-curricular activities, beginning with our first encounter with Mr. Obert. The magazine campaign was soon launched on a grand scale. Of course being freshmen it didn ' t mean much to us so we just sat back and relaxed until the last minute but it didn ' t do any good then. Oh, v e surely exerted ourselves doing those exercises at the ice cream party and those awful upperclassmen wouldn ' t let us rest a second. Basketball season was upon us before v e even realized it. Many of the freshmen went out for it at first, but due to certain circumstances soon dropped out, leaving a few who en- joyed the ensuing season immensely. The freshmen turned out to cheer for Barre at every game though. Yes, it really was true, here it v as December and Christmas only a few weeks away. Naturally, everyone was anticipating the Christmas Social and none more than the freshmen. It was pronounced a most enjoyable evening by all who attended especially because of that unique entertainment the seniors presented. Even more thought of perhaps was the following vacation of a week, during which all were treated extremely well by that old gentleman with the jovial character and white beard, Santa Claus. January passed uneventfully except for quite a bit of reviewing on the schedule. February, hov ever, was a holiday filled month promising several holi- days from school. The end of the basketball season was now in sight with only the Orange tournament left to play. Being freshmen this was quite a novelty to us. Per- haps the catastrophe of the whole thing was when Carruth ' s bus broke down coming home, the night that the B. H. S. five v as eliminated. What do you say, Frosh? It wasn ' t long before everyone who entered the Prize Speaking contest was intent upon learning their selection. With the gratefully accepted help of the teachers who are giving so freely of their time, we hope--everything will go off nicely. As the saying goes tempus fugit and the Calahan contestants in the fresh- men class are already getting stage jitters from imagining themselves up there ready to perform. Well we wish them all luck and know they will put it over with their characteristic nonchalance. In conclusion let us say we will generously leave our little chores for next year ' s freshmen class. Also we will positively receive them into Barre High School in the most hospitable manner — ?

Within its covers we have also tried to preserve the memories of 1947 so that the reminiscing student may recall with clarity the events of that memorable year. The work was not easy because of many difficulties which had to be overcome before we could bend all our efforts toward making this Barretone meet and perhaps even surpass the standards set by previous years. We think we have accomplished our task and we hope you agree. To all those who have in any way contributed to making this book a success we wish to extend our sincerest thanks. We also want to thank the mercnants for their generous advertising. With- out their help we could not have published this book.

This play was different from any mystery play. It was one that didn ' t depend on shrieks or howling wind for its effect but rather, it was a study in characters. Who Killed Aunt Caroline? Included twelve actors, all a group of amiable people. The Endicott ' s were a middle-class family who lived in a small mid- western city. All through the three exciting acts one was kept guessing which one of the genial people committed the murder of the wealthy, mean and domineerin Aunt, Ma e-Louise Jezyk. But who in the Endicott family killed her? Surely not Mrs. Endicott, Martha Nason, a kind piano teacher; nor pretty Agnes, Rita Powers; her eldest daughter, who dreamed of marrying Dave Thompson, Nunzi Maio, a newspaper man; not Riccy, Dick Beard, a young fellow preparing for college; nor Beryl, Pat McAndrew, a little boy crazy; and of course not Cicely, Ina Belida, a precocius youngster? And surely not Dan Danovan, Frank Sottile, the football hero; nor Miss McLain, Mary Cornacchia, the chemistry teacher? But poor Miss Mabbitt, Anna Mastronardo, Aunt Caroline ' s companion, was surely justified in poisoning wicked Caroline. The cast, salesmen, ushers, and various other committee members were selected. A difficult task was suggested by Mr. Flynn and that was, to paint the old wallpapered scenery. After many weeks of arduous labor and v ith the generous help of Mrs. Rice, the scenery was completed and everyone remarked how beautiful it was. Rehearsals were held two or three nights a week and at several times our coach and the cast thought that perhaps no play would be staged. But as we found out in the end, those were just pessimistic remarks. Many people attended the performance and the Senior Play was a both social and financial success of the season. We earnestly bestow our many thanks to Mr. Flynn, who in every way made the play a great success, and to Mrs. Rice for her kind help in redecorating the scenery.

Miss Murray coached the cast assisted also by Mr. Flynn and both were fine directors. The play consisted of a small cast and included Anne, the house-maid, Ina Belida; Barbara, Anne ' s friend, Rita Powers; Mrs. Jane Host, Pat McAndrew; John Host, Richard Beard; Mary Guest, Anna Mastronardo; James Guest, Frank Sottile, who later acted as Santa Claus and directed his Svinn-sters. Mary and John had formed a League for the Suppression of Christmas, for they felt the holiday was too commercialized. Right up to Christmas F.ve they seemed to be sticking to their ultimatum--no presents, no cards, and no Christ- mas spirit. Then when their neighbors turned on their Christmas lights and carols filled the air, t ey both confessed that secretly they had been carrying on as they did every other Christmas and cards and gifts had already been sent! An evening of delightful music was furnished by the Swingsters and at intermission refreshments were sold. And thus our Christmas Social was another startling event. ORCHESTRA The school orchestra has always been regarded by everyone as a wonderful opportunity and experience for those who wish to make their career in the musical field. Every Monday, during the last period, one hears the sweet and harmonius melodies floating from the Assembly Hall. Several students comprised the popular orchestra. Joyce Peck as pianist; Douglas Panaccione, Reggie Mar tone, Amerigo Simeone, and Arnold Trifilo, clari- netists; Norman Crowley, and Arthur Mailinson, saxophones; John Sokol, Tony Richiazzi, Verne Guertin, and Domenic Sidoti, trumpeters. At various times during the year, the group were invited to play at many public functions. A few members of tne orchestra and others who belonged in past years, organ- ized an orchestra of their own unaer the airection of Prank Sottile and entitled Frankies ' Swingster s . The players performed at school and public activities and also on the radio. As has been done in past years, the school orchestra will render nostalgic tunes at the Commencement Exercises. To Miss Helen Chase, the members of the orchestra wish to express their gratitude for her guidance and instructions which, evidently, made such an orchestra available.

An always pleasant occurrence In Barre High School Is the publication of our school newspaper, the Scriptus, which makes Its appearance at Inter- vals during the school year. All the students eagerly look forward to receiving the paper when It is scheduled to come out, and that they greatly appreciate it Is doubtless. Shortly after school reopened, Tony Cappello was unanimously elected editor of the Scriptus, and a competent staff was selected to work in the different departments. They have all capably contributed their best in making this school activity successful. Basically, the paper followed the same pattern of preceeding years. A front page containing the latest important developments, an editorial page, a feature page containing articles, stories, or poems, the much en- joyed Gossip page ' 1 , the roving reporter and chuckles columns, a sports section, and a pare devoted to class news. However, from time to time a variety of entertaining features such as, What Would Happen If? The Crystal Ball , and articles on movies, recordings, and radio have appeared to add a new note of interest to the paper. The students who comprised the Scriptus staff feel that their asso- ciation with the school newspaper has been an Invaluable experience to them. They have had some idea of newspaper construction in a minor sense, and have learned the true meaning of cooperation and working together to achieve a final goal. And everyone can understand the feeling of satisfaction a student gets from seeing an article of his own creation printed in the Scrip- tus for all to read. We sincerely wish to thank Mr. Flynn and Miss Gates for their invalu- able assistance in acting as advisors for our publication, and to the Class of ' 48 we extend our wishes for the best of luck. May you do bigger and better things with the Scriptus! A few weeks after school re-opened in the fall, Miss Murray stepped into the vacated position as coach of the debating club. A meeting was immediately called and the officers of the club were selected and plans for an eventful season were formulated: Robert Smith was re-elected President; Catherine Celona Vice-President; Stephen Spasaro, Secretary and Louis Petracone, Treasurer. Although the work in preparing a debate is somewhat difficult, the first debate which was held March 21 at eight o’clock in the evening in the Barre High assembly hall was a successful affair. Our debaters met their opponents from Grafton High School and debated the subject: Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Adopt a System of Complete Medical Care, Available to all Citizens at Public Expense. Upholding the affirmative side of the subject, were Dora Capetti and Catherine Celona of the Barre team. Robert Johnstone and Hubbard Sweet of Grafton High upheld the negative side. After the non-de- cision debate was over, the debators were served refreshments prepared by mem- bers of the debating club. Ihe debate was public and a representative group was present. The next debate on the arenda was held at Grafton High Scnool during tne month of April. Speakers representing Barre High and supporting the negative view point on the same topic about socialized medicine, were Viola Persechino and Robert Smith. Members of the Grafton debating team afterwards entertained the Barre visitors. Later on in the year, a debate was sponsored at Barre High under the aus- pices of the Barre Women ' s Club. At the graduation exercises in June, each of the debaters will be awarded keys. This token of gratitude is made available by the Mary I. Adams Fund. Anyone attending the debates, found them interesting and enjoyable and felicitations go to the debaters for a job well-done. We sincerely thank Miss Alice Murray who worked so faithfully and earnestly with the representatives of the debating club in order to maintain debating as a highlight at Barre High. Every Monday as is customary, the Glee Club met during tne eighth period under the direction of Miss Chase. The boys and girls from each class were combined into a union ui well-blendeu voices. Several Glee Club members nave also sung at public gatherings. On May 17 the group sang at the Musical Festival helu at V. ' est Springfield, Massachusetts. As a whole, the school includes many good singers, but uniortunately only a certain number could be selected — Many are called but few are chosen. t Following the example set forth Dy the previous Senior Class, a Senior Choi was organized from members of the Glee Club. It made its debut at the Christmas Social and all who attended agreed that the choir harmonized the carols beauti- fully. bach member was attired in a black robe but was restricted from carry- ing candles. The choir, did not sing at any public assemblies. For many years, Miss Helen Chase has been the supervisor of the Glee Club and to her we wish to extend our sincerest thanks in maintaining such a suc- cessful and creditable Glee Club.

One of tne victories was gained in the Orange Tournament which Barre entered in March. In the first game of the Tournament, Barre faced New Salem ' s Hoopsters, in a game that really tore the roof off the Orange basketball hall. The game began with the opposition scoring four baskets in rapid succession, but then Barre awoke from its slumber and with the corner shots of Captain John Sokol and the lay-up shots of Jerry Agar, the Barre team tore into the lead to win the first game toward the championship. Little did Barre realize that the second team they were to meet was none other than West Eoylston, the class C champions of the Clark Tournament. Spirit ran high in Barre for the four days proceeding this game. Students were in doubt as to what the outcome would be. But the players knew or realized what the outcome would be if Barre didn ' t play its best, well Barre didn ' t play its best but it did play a superb game, as anyone from West Eoylston can tell you. West Boylston played the better game, and so Barre was eliminated from the tournament for another year. But it still retains the title of having the hardest fighting team, the sportiest team, and the team that produces the most exciting games in every Orange Tournament. As usual Barre had the greatest delegation of rooters and followers at Orange, and we also boast one of the best cheer leading sections in the entire tournament .

The beginning of school likewise brought the beginning of softball v hich has been one of the minor sports of Barre High for quite a few years. Last fall it remained as such, but this spring it is hoped a varsity team will be formdd for inter-scholastic games. Here’s hoping. Say! What is this comparably new sport that has just hit B. H. S. and is causing such a demand for the gym? Weil, volley-ball is here again and after many painstaking, and yes, even back-breaking explanations Mr. Dawson and Miss McDonough have organized class teams eager to compete among them- selves . The unexpected commencement of the basketball season caused a furor and it continued on high keel for the rest of the season. Fate is said to be the cause of some of the downs and in some games it was more obvious than others but the girls were kept fighting doggedly along. The first occurence was that, fateful day of the Orange practice game. Remember how the game being unex- pected, uniforms had to be handed out and two of the forwards were unaccounta- bly absent? From this not even the least bit discouraged they went and played a good game with freshman Cynthia Gilbert high scorer. Showing up again, in the first official game of the season against Templeton, came destiny and after only two minutes of the game had been played one player was knocked out by injury. The team somewhat disrupted following that made a good showing, but the game ended with us on the short end. In the game against Rutland, Barre again received its share of hard luck, but defeat was avenged in the return game. The girls must have come out on the floor with revenge in mind for all through the game they tossed basket for basket, and had a tie at the half. Following the half, the game didn’t slow- down a bit and everybody was hoping. Barre just had to win, and Rutland just couldn ' t have its first loss. So those were the circumstances the night of the Rutland game. The cause of much pandemonium was soon at an end with Barre leading by a score of thirty-eight to thirty-five. This called for a cele- bration and free frappes were enjoyed by all the team. Princeton was next on the agenda with neither team scoring very highly. The final score was fourteen to eight Princeton ' s favor. The night of the return game because of the illness of Miss McDonough, George Mennard took over and except for a few embarassments , according to Dora, everything went off per- fectly. The first meeting of the season with old enemy Petersham had quite an unex- pected ending, a tie score. Both teams were anxious to play it off, but ac- cording to some old rule it wasn ' t possible. So the game ended twenty-eight to twenty-eight. Another unexpected finish was in the Barre versus Warren game. After each team played a final score was eight all. In the meeting again of Templeton, Warren, and Petersham close games were played but Barre was doomed to go down to defeat by a slight margin. So ended the basketball season full of fun and enjoyment for all, almost as suddenly and unexpectedly as it began. In conclusion a wonderful time was had by ail the participators of this year ' s athlet ' cs and here ' s hoping the underclassmen will come up and take the places of those graduating and Join in the fun. BASEBALL The baseball page in a yearbook should be called Looking Forward to the Easeball Season because about the time yearbooks are written baseball season is just beginning. This writer does not have any facts on which to base his story but in any case this is wnat I predict will come to pass for Barre High School’s 1947 baseball team. The prospects look good for Barre this year on the baseball diamond. As usual Barre ' s first game has been cancelled, but this year it ' s a different story; instead of rain or dampness Old Man Winter came back with six inches of snow on April 20, 1947. This is something new in weather — even for Barre. At the present time Eileen Jacobs, our baseball manager, intends to contact Holden, Rutland, Orange, North Brookfield, Ware, Winchendon and Warren for games this season. There will probably be more, but at the present, these teams will be our chief opponents. This year our coach, Mr. Mclnerny, intends to produce a team as good, if not better than any baseball team ever to represent Barre on the baseball field. He realizes that we have one of the toughest schedules Barre has ever had and he also knows Barre has lost many good players these last few years but he thinks there are many boys with natural ability to fill these vacancies without too difficulty. This year we have nine players remaining from last year ' s powerful squad of thirteen. It looks as though Maio, and Beard will be on the pitching mound, while Captain, Frank Sottile will remain at his three-year catching berth. It also looks as though Ricniazzi will remain at first base with Baker at second base, Sokol at short stop, Charles Mallozzi at third base, Gildo Simeone in left field, Andrukonis in center field, and Spinney in right field. These are only assumptions because there are many capable substitutes v ho may win one of these berths as a first-string player. Arthur Mallinson and Amerigo Simeone are two substitutes which show great promise and certainly warrant much watching. LJ I t C) [, CjcJ- d (Dyrm . cju4jt-J? C- A, -frvJjf (Aa c • • Jn. tXe Gff T ??

They occupy room 8 and there they hold forth on all matters of importance to them. The debates and discussions are usually quite interesting. There is quite some talent in the group. If you don ' t believe me look at the beautiful drawings that adorn the blackboards in their home room. Their assembly, the first one in our series of Friday entertainments, showed a lot of ingenuity, clever thinking, and mechanical ability. They helped out with the scenery for our senior play and we have never asked them for help that we have not received more than we asked for. We all admire them for their determination to get an education. Many of us can remember when they left high school before graduating to serve Uncle Sam and protect us and the school system of which we are so proud. They are a grand group of boys. We like them and we are glad to have them graduating with us. Mary is not a veteran of the World W a r but she has roomed with the vet- erans this year at Barre High School and v e shall always remember her for her beautiful voice which has added to many entertainments here. We are glad to have her graduating with us also and v e wish her and the Vets the best of luck. CHAS. G. ALLEN CO. COMPLIMENTS OF THE BARRE WOOL COMBING COMPANY, LTD. SOUTH BARRE. MASSACHUSETTS S.C.
