GLEE CLUB Following the usual tradition at Barre High, the whole student body was called upstairs during the first week of school to have their voices tested by Miss Chase. Everyone warbled as sweet as they could in hopes of getting into the school Glee Club. Out of the whole school about fifty were chosen to sing in the Club. Every Monday during the eighth period many voices rose in the melodies of various types of songs. This year the Glee Club did more singing out of school than it has done for quite some time. At Christmas they gave a performance for the Parent-Teacher-Association and the music was enjoyed by all who attended. Also at Christmas many of the members went caroling through the town, making the last stop at the Poor Farm. The Seniors in the Glee Club sang a few carols at the annual Christmas Social. On May 15th the Glee Club once again goes to the annual Music Festival in Springfield where they hope to reap high honors for their musical ability. To Miss Chase, the director, we extend our thanks for an enjoyable year of music. 28

BARRETONE STAFF Since the first Barretone, in pamphlet form, was published, each successive staff has had one main objective in mind; to present a correct and concise record of graduate and undergraduate activities in order to prevent an undesired gap between the graduating classes and the present high school activities. There have been many obstacles in the path of this year’s Barretone but these were quickly overcome because there was a dire need for such a publication as our Barretone. As we send out this issue to all alumni, it is our hope that it will, in some way, help to revive the “good old high school days.” BARRETONE STAFF Editor Assistant-Editor Viola Persechino Catherine Celona Business Manager Advisor Louis Patracone William H.

BASKETBALL Barre High School’s basketball record for the season ending in March was four victories and thirteen defeats- Although the Barre team cannot boast of a victorious season it can boast of exciting, closely scored games, four of which were played in the Orange tournament. The first game of the tournament was with an old rival, Hardwick, who took Barre over the hurdles and automatically placed them in position for the Consolation Championship. In the consolation series, Barre was first to face Petersham, who had defeated us twice earlier in the season. They were given the surprise of their lives when Barre defeated them by nine points. Now with greater determination Barre went on to defeat Charlemont in the second game of the series by twenty points, which placed them against Rutland for the Consolation Championship. This game proved to be the most exciting in the series, with Barre leading in the first half but being defeated by four points in the second half, thus making the team Consolation runner-ups. The close of the Basketball season came when Barre High was awarded runner-up Consolation Trophy at the Orange gym on March 20 , 1948 . THE TEAM J. Milan, G. Jankouskas, A. Simeone, G. Simeone, H.
