JUNIOR HISTORY We were back a pain I Back for the third time, and as we opened the massive doors of our favorite high school, we were extremely proud of ourselves. 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.
