HARRY QUICK Quickie” Harry is the comical character of our Senior class, always ready with a hearty joke to liven the party. “Quickie” has been a very active member. He play- ed basketball for two years and was always in there to win. We will never forget him as “Mr. Bradley” in our Senior play. His many and varied activities are proof of his popularity. We are certain that Harry will make a success in the future in his chosen field. Barretone 4, Inking Contest 1, 2, 3, Basketball 3, 4, Ten- nis 3, 4, Track 3, Senior Play 4, Glee Club 1, 2. ANTHONY RICCHIAZZI “Ricky” To all of us, “Ricky” will be remembered as one of the best sports in our class. He always seems to be happy. Aside from his jovial character, “Ricky” is a great sports fan. He is not only interested in the leagues, but also participated in school sports. He is no doubt one of the best first base players Barre has ever had. His skill in the field of music will probably fashion his future for him.
