Barre High School - Barretone Yearbook (Barre, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 50 of the 1949 volume:

DEDICATION We, the class of 1 949, dedicate our yearbook, the Barre- tone, with pride and honor to Mr. Whippee whose faith and loyalty, cheerfulness and good will, has brought to Barre High School much complimentary esteem. To him is accorded our deepest gratitude and respect, and justly so, for his unfailing service and intense earnest- ness in our years at Barre High School. 1 FOREWORD As we, the class of I 949, pass through the portals of Barre High, we leave as a treasured remembrance, the golden memories of the years we spent here, enfolded within the pages of this book. As you finger its leaves, the happiness of those years will come to mind and as you recall each joyful thought, this volume will become ever dearer to your heart. It is through this priceless book that you will renew “those good old golden school days.” And so our golden realm is ended and with a tear and a sigh we leave our beloved school. We feel sure, how- ever, that together with your diploma, this Barretone will be treasured within your “chest of golden memories.” Our sincere gratitude goes to Mr. Parker, the faculty, underclassmen, merchants and all others who helped make this book possible.

Here are a few charming babies of yesteryear displaying their winning ways. Would you believe that these babies, with their curls, their smiles and sweet Ivory look, are now members of the graduating class of 1949? After pondering over them a few hours, turn to page fifteen for their identity. You might hit the jackpot, but then — you might be surprised!!! 12 SENIOR HISTORY It was a beautifully calm day in September, in the year 1960. As I walked through the familiar path in the woods, I came to a softly rippling stream and here I stopped to rest for a few moments. The warm sun and soft wind must have cast their charms upon me and caused mg to fall off into slumber. , It seems as though time was moving backwards as I watched my life being retraced. The year 1945 seemed to stand out and beckon. As I moved on, I passed through two very heavy doors and entered into a building that seemed quite familiar. Trying to remem- ber — thinking very hard. Why yes, of course I remember! It was the month of Sep- tember — September fourth to be exact, in the year 1945. On this day everything about us seemed quite strange because, you see, this was our first day at Barre High. Those four years, happy years, are sketched out in my mind as though it were only yesterday. 1945 - 1946 Our first important business as Freshmen was the election of class officers. The results were: Lester Backus, President; Anne Stevenson, Vice President; Joyce Sawtell, Secretary and Paul Snyder, Treasurer. Before we had time to really settle down, we met another face, familiar to the other students of Barre High. Yes, it was Del Obert introducing the annual magazine drive. The finale of this drive came in October, with the Seniors devouring that ice cream and we freshmen at the rear of the hall with the familiar refrains of “1-2-3-4” ringing all about us. Our next main event was the St. Patrick’s Day Social, sponsored by the Freshmen for the whole school. We were really quite proud of our work! Joyce Sawtell and Donald Rebokus brought us fame from the prize speaking angle. Joyce took second prize and Donald third. It wasn’t long until Class Day and Graduation. But of course final exams came first. In June, as we were leaving Barre High, we realized that what we considered work was really just fun and we were anxious to get back in September as “Sophs.” 1946 - 1947 This year we could ascend the steps of Barre High more confidently for now we ' re Sophomores and familiar to the ways of Barre High. Our class elections resulted in the following as officers: Richard Baker, President; Sally Lang, Vice President; Rose Aliquo, Secretary, Romeo Salvadore, Treasurer. Del Obert is back, introducing more new magazines. We were going to win this Magazine Drive weren’t we ? Well, we just decided putting on the entertainment would be more fun than getting sick on ice cream. (If we only had a choice!) If anyone should ask us at this time, “what is a project?” how well we could tell them. Between Mr. Flynn, Miss Murray, and Mr. Mclnerny, we’ve certainly had our fill of projects. The first social event was the Christmas Social which many “Sophs” attended. As Sophomores we’ve at least been thinking of being Seniors and so hav ' e also thought of our Senior Trip. When you think of a trip you must also think of money and that is what drove us toward sponsoring our first food sale. It was held in Beard’s Showroom and was quite successful. Time-out was called for a week’s vacation. Upon returning we all put our noses to the grind stone to round up what we could call a successful year. Amid whirli ng minds and spells of spring fever, we again went through those tor- turing hours of final exams. With June we again turn our backs on. Barre High, hoping we have donated towards the fine reputation it now holds. 13 1947 - 1948 Our hearts are happier, our footsteps li|� hter as we ascend the steps of Barre High. We’re Juniors and upper cla.ssmen at long last. Those elected to lead the class through its third year were; Richard Baker, President; Anne Stevxmson, Vice President; Rose Aliquo. Secretary; Paul Snyder, Treasurer. Our class contributed talent to the basketball team with such boys as Stanley, Romeo, Bill and Carmelo, and also added enthusiasm to the sport with cheerleaders Dolly Franciose and Rose Aliquo. Our first social ev ' ent was a dance with music furnished by Frankie’s Swingsters. With Christmas came the annual Christmas Social which was very impressive and enjoyable. Want of money and ambition soon prompted us on to sponsoring a bean supper. The participation of all the students made this quite an appetizing and successful event. The Junior Class was highly honored when Joyce Sawtell won first prize in the Prize Speaking Contest. The fishing and baseball enthusiasts were in their glory as we saw them knee-deep in the streams or chasing a fly on the baseball diamond. Playing on the school base’oall ’team was also a favorite for some boys. In May the social affair we had so patiently planned for arrived. The Junior Prom with the Apple Blossoms and colored streamers made quite a -decorative scene. The climax of the evening v as the ring ceremony and the singing of our theme song which was written by Virginia Gulino. The rest of the evening was spent dancing to the strains of Russ Holland’s rhythmic music. The music festival, which was the following day, was well supported by the Junior class. Though tired from the effects of the night before, everything seemed to go along very smoothly. With the end of another school year we turn a new leaf to begin again in September. We leave Barre High hoping to have contributed to the honor and pride of the school. 1948 - 1949 With heads high and steps sure and firm, we entered the doors of Barre High. We are now the sophisticate-d Seniors The election of class officers resulted in a repetition of the same officers we had last year. They are: Richard, Pres.; Anne, Vice Pres.; Rose, Sec. and Paul, Treas. Anne Stevenson was elected Scriptus Editor. We held the Senior Tea to acquaint mothers and teachers. “Daisies Won’t Tell,” seemed to be the hit of the event. And by the way, we had the annual magazine drive this year. We, the Seniors, had our turn on the stage with the steady flow of ice cream coming from all directions. At the Christmas Social we put on a musical skit directe-d by members of the faculty. Mr. Flynn was our Santa Claus. Wonder how anyone could have recognized him??? Being measui ' ed for our caps and gowns brought the first signs of graduation — we hope, anyway. In March our talented Seniors took to the stage at Williams Hall with the prc-duction of “The Dead of Night.” After being postponed once before, we breathed a sigh of relief to see it go off so smoothly. Virginia Gulino, our Barretone Editor, and Mr. Parker, our advisor, have been work- ing hard, along with the rest of the staff, to make our Barretone tops this year. We ha-d wonderful weather for our four-day stay in New York. The Hotel Wentwort’n was our resting place. Had a grand time. Our chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. George Mennard. 14 Exams again! Who was the kill- joy that ever thought of such horrors? “Auld Lang Syne” was heard again from the steps of Barre High. Tomorrow will be Graduation Day and then, “So long Barre High, our four years here will ever remain with us.” As I awoke from slumber, I realized it was like living those four years at Barre High over again. I picked up my book which I had started to read and retraced my steps with a happy tingling inside of me, as though I were on m.y way to Barre High to start all over again. ANSWERS TO GUESS WHO 1.

Why were we so nervous as that fateful day drew near? What was it we feared? The stern look on our parents’ faces? The taunting cries of our “friends?” Perhaps it was both but even more it was a haunting voice resounding through our minds — “Backward never, backward never.” It was, in reality, the voice of an inner conscience that we feared. And again and again we resolved with renewed vig or to shut out that fearful voice, with study, hard work and more study. Like the wheels of a train that thought surged through our minds — study, forward, study, forward and like the wheels of a train we moved forward through the years until at last, we were upon the threshold of graduation. Graduation! What does it hold for you? Golden dreams and opportunity, or a night- mare of misfortune? It’s up to us! Are we going to travel through the world of tomor- row on that train of opportunity, moving ever forward? Or are we, somewhere along the line, going to “jump the track?” It’s up to us! Remember, “forward ever, backward never.” Keep this in mind and your world oi tomorrow will be a golden world of opportunity. Four small words and yet their signi- ficant meaning can change your life. The decision is ours! The world offers us a challenge and we can answer that challenge as citizens of the world — the heartbeat of our nation! Forward ever, backward never!” SUCCESS THROUGH MISTAKES “June,” a word which is amplified in the minds of the seniors and which to them means one thing, “graduation.” The event awaited by all, which closes the second chap- ter of our lives and which reopens our third with opportunities or misfortune. Remember your first day of school? The thoughts running through your mind, a mind of effervescent enthusiasm? Surely, you must remember the emptiness in your heart, this being your introduction to school and a day which was the commencement of your future world. Time has now carried some to the door of collegiate life and some to the start of their occupational dreams. The words “school days,” which did not make much of an impression on you before, now loom in your mind with memories, sweet memories, and you now associate the words “school days” with bygone pleasures. Remember the first day of high school? The socials, the junior prom, the senior play, and that wonderful trip to New York? Why, of course, you do. But you also remember your mistakes. Many of them were foolish but many were also beneficial. For it is through your mistakes that you better your life. You strive to avoid them. You resolve not to fall prey to their embarrassing predicaments. And best of all, you endeavor to make your progress through life a better one. Take heed, future citizens of the world, and have faith in your education. Through it, success will be yours. Be wise in your undertakings and make the most of your oppor- tunities. Remember success can be reached by realizing and correcting your mistakes. 19 ’LITERARY” GRADUATION Once a year in every city, town, village and hamlet in the United States, an important event takes place — Graduation. On this happy, long awaited, spring day, in all parts of the world, people prepare for this wonderful event. Dressed in all her finery. Spring comes to all schools of education, beautifying the grounds and making the day of Graduation more beautiful. The young graduates, upon receiving their diplomas, look far into the future, to see the lives they plan to lead. Some of them will continue their education, others will step into every day jobs. All in all they will continue to work together in making a better world. A world which wdll await the coming of another spring, another beautiful spring day, which will hold fond memories for the present and future generations. JADWIGA KOWZA A GRADUATION MEDITATION “And now I have put away the things of my childhood.” Perhaps one of the most essential problems confronting a graduate is that of “grow- ing up.” The thought is startling, (to say the least), to the youngster who is preparing to go forth and face the world, and who has heretofore, been confined to the warm and friendly atmosphere of his class room. Yes — graduation and “growing up” are synonomous. Thoughts of one immediately provoke thoughts of the other. Up ’til this time the graduate has been eagerly looking forward to this moment; but now he wonders what lies beyond that veil that shields his partially dazed sight from the future and “growing up.” At this moment he is apprehensive of the fact that graduation holds for him joy, but at the same time it brings to mind the realization that the carefree school days are nearing an end and soon he will be one of the adult citizens with responsibility of plan- ning for prosperity and future generations. VERNON FLYNN THE WORLD VS. COMMUNISM We, the youth of today and the America of tomorrow, are faced with the greatest world problem since the days of the feudal lords. Never, since the rise of our capitalis- tic system, has its principals of free enterprise been faced with such grave danger of being wiped off the face of the earth. It was with the coming of capitalism that the common man was placed in the cen- ter of the picture in world affairs, and today, all we value most — freedom of religion — a democratic form of government — free enterprise — is being threatened by a force, which, if left unchecked, may engulf the entire world. This force, called communism, is using the most atrocious methods possible to obtain its goal. Its leaders are forcing our Christian Churches — Protestant and Catholic alike — to uphold and advance its principles. Priests and ministers are being forced to submit to its cause. The injustices w ' hich have been wrought against these clergy cause the Christians’ — the Americans’ blood to boil. The cruel and agressive means of this system, in themselves, are enough to convince all free thinking men that communism is not their ideal for the future world. We have in our hands the greatest material weapon mortals have ever possessed — atomic energy — and we are fortunate in having a president who is determined to go to almost any extreme to preserve the freedom of mankind. Mr. Truman has announced with firm conviction that, if necessary, he will use the atomic bomb in the world’s struggle against communism. Eight years ago, civilization was faced with world domination. America was forced into that conflict and, once in it, lent all her forces to the defeat of the greatest tyrannical powers that had ever threatened democracy. Capitalism, and religion were victorious in 20 that war, and they will be victorious in an even greater struggle, that against commu- nism. What can we do to prepare ourselves for the future? Get all the education we can. It is held to be self evident that the success of a democracy depends on the intelligence of its average citizen. Therefore, may higher education be our goal for a better America to com.e. So far we have been considering only our greatest material weapons for world peace, and have been inclined to overlook our greatest weapon of all — God. We have God on our side, and with that assurance we go forth undaunted — confident of victory over evil. It is with God’s help that we have preserved our liberty thus far, and it is with His help that we will continue to preserve this liberty in the future. RALPH WELLS SPRING Spring is here! This is a phrase so often heard after the snow has .melted away and the trees and flowers begin to bud. Soon the birds return and their chirping songs can be heard everywhere. After many months of cold dreary weather, the signs of war.nth and beauty are looked forward to, and enjoyed by all. There are many reasons why the spring season is welcomed by each and everyone. V ith it come flowers, both wild and cultivated, which add color and beauty to their sur- roundings. The trees, v ith their sheltering arms, provide beauty, shade, and shelter to birds, squirrels and chipmunks. With the coming of Spring many animals come out of their dens, because they too, like human beings, prefer the warmth and beauty, to the cold and dreary. Along with Spring come many exciting and relaxing sports such as: baseball, tennis, and greatest of all — fishing. As often heard, “All good things come to an end.” The same is true with Spring. So take heed of the phrase, “Spring is here!” and make the most of it. SYLVIA FRANCIOSS GRADUATION Spring has arrive-J once more. Spring brings a fresh carpet of green, the budded trees, the sweet fragrance of apple blossoms, the flow of the gurgling brooks, a nightly concert from Mr. Frog, and a new glow in the heavens. Beside these things a solemn affair occurs in every village, town or city — graduation. Graduation is by no means the end. It is only the beginning. The beginning of a new and exciting life. Gradually through the years we nave been taught to assume more responsibility, to be honest, considerate, decent, unselfish, pleasant, versatile, co- operative and have acquired more common sense. Just learning the facts isn’t enough. It is practicing them that really counts. One’s life is what he makes it. Immediately following graduation we come upon a clean page in our books. What we write on it is up to us. Many of the graduates wish to further their education and enroll at various schools according to their chosen vocation. Some of the graduates aren’t fortunate enough to be able to enjoy the privilege of college education and others do not desire further schooling. However, whatever footsteps we tread in, we must be influenced to continue striv- ing to keep our America exactly as our forefathers fought and struggled to build it. A democratic land with privileges for all regardless of race, color, or creed. A land where the four freedoms are enjoyed and practiced so freely. It is a great responsibility to place on anyone but we must realize how ' fortunate we are and to show our appreciation we should all work together to preserve what we have and strive to better ii to everyone’s benefit.

The pi ' ettiest season of the vear When all the May flowers bring good cheer The buds all red on the Maple trees With a slight tint of light green leaves The violets bright, and Robins gay Say with delight, “It’ll be a great day.” And then there are brooks, like silver strea.ns And odd water lilies like rare dreams. Frogs peeping in a near by pond And bright forsythia bordering the lawn With early morning sunshine and evening dew This season should please more than a few. —CHRISTINE OHLSON BASEBALL TIME Baseball time is here again And every team has their men Playing as hard as thev can Trying to please every fan Thev practice in the earlv Spring Trying to accomplish manv a thing Trying to make a winning team So that thev will be supreme. They cannot win every game But if thev could, oh what fame They would acquire from evervwhere Playing the game and plaving it fair. —By RALPH LINCOLN WHAT FUTURE YEARS WILL BRING Along the old brick high school wall Grow ivy vines so very tall. Each class day they are planted there To grow and flourish without care. They must endure the sun that shines Upon their leaves and on their vines — With winter’s snow to tolerate And gentle spring, - co-operate. These plants are set by those who must Endure life’s hardships and who trust That life, like ivy will progress To prosper on without recess. Some wish and yearn to find success While others hope for happiness. A few may in a century Be praised and kept in memory. Some will be faced by risk and strife While most will lead a common life. I wish that all may sometime see God’s love and care, eternity. — ALDONA SLUCKIS THE SEAMSTRESS April is stitching with needles of rain. Her silver thread flashes again and again. She’s making a garment that cannot be seen, But soon it will cover th earth with green. Soon in the grass her embroiderv will show Where daisies shine primly like flakes of white snow. And where the shy violet lifts her wee face To add to the soringtime her fragrance and grace. Yes. April is stitching with fine liquid thread. She’s stitchine the patterns of each flower bed. She’s stitching the bark and the leaves of the trees And every green blade that will sway in the breeze. April’s a seamstress unmatched in her skill. She’s alwavs brought springtime and she always will. She’s a kind little lady who uses her art To make earth a garment that gladdens the heart. —PALMA PULIAFICO FIRST DAY AT BARRE HIGH The day of davs had co.me at last. We’d entered Barre High. But before the day was finished I thought I’d nearlv die ' I wandered through the halls confused Upstairs and down I sped. I entered rooms and rooms again From every one I fled The school bus was late that day. My friends I couldn’t find. 23 ’Twas Seniors and the Sophomores And there I was behind. I was huddled in a corner And watched the crowd go by. And I wondered if the freshmen class Were all as scared as I. Then, someone said that in room two The greenest class would sit. I figured they must be the freshmen The name really seemed to fit. We had just got nicely settled When the bells began to ring. And startled glances wondered what The ringing bells would bring. It meant the classes had to change. And the freshmen had to find Another room to settle in, If no one seemed to mind. We huddled in the hall awhile Debating where to go And wondered, should we go upstairs? Or should we go below? Thus passes this day at Barre High. Each freshman wished anew That he were back in grammar school And never would get through. We’ve met and mingled many times. Since that eventful day And learned to love old Barre High In the good old fashioned way. —By CLAIRE BURGESS OUR GREEN YEARS Fortune smiles upon us Throughout our years at school Although we’re blind to see it Under stress of rod and rule. Learning is a problem And studying a chore But too late do we realize Such happiness is o’er Teachers seem against us: They really aren’t at all: But rather trying to help us In a world that seems to call. Our green years are the best years The happiest of the rest Yet age alone appreciates Our school days as the best! —BEVERLY RICE 24 THE SENIOR TRIP It was a warm and beautiful day in May, the fifth of the month, and to add to our happi- ness in loveliness of spring time was the thought of the Senior Trip that day to New York City. Most of us were afraid that we would sleep late and miss the bus, so consequently we all arrived about fifteen minutes ahead of time. An hour crawled slowly by and the waiters finally saw Richard Baker coming slowly across the common. Plying him with questions, we found that the bus had broken down the night before and was going to be two hours late. At eight fifteen the bus appeared and we joyfully set off on our trip to the big city. The trip down was very uninteresting as we thought only of the hour when we would arrive in NYC. And when we did arrive at 3:30 in the afternoon it was 78 in the shade and we were hot and dusty and very cross, so you can imagine our chagrin to find that we had to be ready to go on a tour with Mrs. Rigby at four o’clock. Arriving at the NBC studios we were taken on the tour of the radio and television sets. The building was air-conditioned and our guides were especially good looking, so, all-in-all the tour was very much of a success. After eating our dinner that evening at the hotel (will you ever forget that flounder, Rosie and Angie?) we set out for the St. James Theater to see “Where’s Charlie?” with Ray Bolger. From the first act to the last we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We were especially pleased when Mr. Bolger taught the audience to sing “Once in Love with Amy” while he did a soft shoe dance. This was the theme song for our entire trip a ' ’ the Mennards, and our bus driver can verify. Because we had returned from the theater at eleven, and this seemed such an early hour to go to bed on a holiday, most of us stayed in our rooms and gossiped until 3:00 in the morning. It seemed only a few minutes from the time our heads sank into the pillow that night until a cheerful voice echoed over the telephone, “Good morning, seven-thirty!!!” With many loud groans and moans we tumbled out of bed and finally after much exertion found our way down to breakfast. At nine o’clock we left the hotel for the Rockefeller Center guided tour. This whole tour was interesting from the start in the lobby of the Esso Building to the finish on the Roof of Radio City. Since the day was cloudy we were given tickets and were told to come back to see the view when the skies were clearer. We ate lunch that day in the Downunder Restaurant in Radio City and then we went to see the stage and movie show at the Music Hall. The boys certainly enjoyed the Rockettes. Ask Stanley and Sam. After we left the Music Hall it was still early in the afternoon so we dispersed into groups and some went to the Museum of Natural History where we proceeded to lose Paul Snyder in the Reptile Room and Romeo Salvadore in the Marine Life Room. It was a nice day and Mrs. Rigby, our guide, had showed us how to get to the Central Park Zoo and then over to Fifth Avenue to take the bus home, but somehow in those woods, that we of the country should be so familiar with, we got lost. We ended up at the hotel all right but we had walked the whole distance and we never did find the zoo! We did not eat supper at the hotel that evening because some of us were going to Billy Rose’s Diamond Horse Shoe at eleven for our supper. We met in the lobby at seven Friday night and attended two broadcasts. City Service Band of America conducted by Paul Lavelle and The Sheriff of Kenyon County, the Borax Program. 25 After the broadcasts nine of the class members and Mr. Mennard went to see “La Traviata” at the San Carlo Opera House while the rest of us returned home to await the witching hour of eleven when we would go to a night club!!I! After a good dinner and an equally good floor show, we returned to the hotel at 1:45. Deciding that no New Yorker ever went to bed at 2:00 a.m. on a Friday night we decided to take a ride on the subway and ended up in Brooklyn. We never did see that famous tree either. When we got back to the hotel, around four, we were greeted by a night clerk who remarked, “What, going to bed so early!” Again we were awakened Saturday morning by that cheerful voice at seven-thirty. Saturday morning and part of the afternoon was spent touring the island of Man- hattan on the sight-seeing boat. Remember “Salty” Sally? Saturday afternoon we went shopping for Mother’s Day gifts and those unusual things that you find only in NYC. Have you seen “Dougie’s” pink bow tie? Saturday evening the Seniors got into their groups again and went to many different places. . . Coney Island with its thrilling rides and galleries, Carnegie Hall with Alec Templeton, and the Roxy Theatre with Vivian Blaine. By the law-of-averages we should have slept all the way home Sunday afternoon but we didn’t. Maybe it was because of a bus driver named Eddie Noyes and maybe it was because we had too much to think about, but anyway we sang for eight hours all the way home. We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. George Mennard for making our trip such a success. There was never a cross word or a note of reproof during the entire four days. Even though they must have felt like saying something when we sang “Once in Love with Amy” under their window. SHOTS Virginia wonders why they have shades on the windows of the hotel. As far as she can see nobody uses them. Ann wonders, “Why did Eddie the bus driver have to be married?” Donald wonders, “If you kill a bus driver en-route through a state for defamation of character are you still supposed to pay the extreme penalty or will they let you off easy?” Joyce wonders, “Why does the name Gretta Garbage belong to me?” Romeo wonders, “Where is the Central Park Zoo?” Daisy wonders, “Who was the man across the alley?” Dolly says, “The roller coaster, the torpedo, and the ferris wheel are very tame!!” For saying that, Johnny says she ought to have her head examined. Rosie wonders, “If the man did not guess my name and age why did I still have to pay a dollar?” Isabel wonders, “What happened while I was asleep in Carnegie Hall?” Angie wonders, “Why did Virginia go to the opera if she was only going to fall asleep?” Richie wonders, “What time does the bus leave for home?” Dougie wonders, “How do I rate in taking five girls to Carnegie Hall?” Ramona wonders, “Who has the opera glasses now.” Marion wonders, “W hat was the name of the saxophone player, second fram the left, at the City Service Broadcast?” Elaine wonders, “Why didn’t they wait to eat with me Sunday morning?” Ramona, Marion, Joyce, Isabel, Dougie and Theresa wonder, “If we will ever have as good a time again as we did Saturday night at Rafferelli’s. The Senior Class wonders why they had to come home? THE SENIOR PLAY Yes, the class of ’49 did it again. It was acclaimed by many as the outstanding social and financial sucess of the season. “The Dead of Night” received an enthusiastic recep- tion from a capacity audience at Williams Hall on March 25th. Just before the Christmas vacation, Mr. Flynn gave out the parts, for which there was a great deal of competition. When studies were resumed, rehearsals got underway. Two or three nights a week the cast could be seen going through their parts for Mr .Flynn and Mr. Parker. It was hard work but a lot of fun — not to be missed for anything. But there were difficulties also, as one by one the members of the cast became afflicted with childhood diseases such as measles and scarlet fever (and at their age too), so the play was postponed until March 25. The final result proved more than satisfying to those adherents of mystery, murder and romance. Acknowledgments go to those behind the scenes such as Ethel who made a very effi- cient prompter. To Richard and Wilbert who were in charge of the scenery and lighting — and did such an excellent job of it, too. Rose Aliquo and her competent staff took charge of the programs and produced a very attractive book. The Senior Class extends to Mr. Flynn, their deepest gratitude and sincere apprecia- tion for the unfailing efforts and encouragement he gave to make the play the success it was. The class also gives thanks to the Music Makers and ushers for the donation of their services on the night which will live long in every Senior’s memory.

It is a publication which, in future years, will represent the only tie between him. his fellow class.men. and other high school acquaintances. Thus, we the staff realize the necessity for such a publication and through it have strived to better the foundation of true companionship and to create a friendlier atmosphere. It is our sincere hope that we have attained such results through this — the 1949 Barretone.

Both the students and faculty eagerly looked forward to its monthly publication. The aim of this school paper is to give the students the prin- ciples of newspaper construction, and the self-satisfaction derived from this worthy cause was also invaluable. In the fall, Ann Stevenson was elected e-iitor of the Scriptus. A competent staff capably worked in their different fields and they all did their utmost to make this school publication a successful one. Monthly meetings were held to call together the staff members for suggestions and criticisms. The enduring efforts and whole hearted cooperativeness of the students result- ed in a better schoolpaper. The paper followed the same basic pattern as in preceding years. A front page, featuring the latest important activities of the students, a feat- ure page of poems and stories, class news, a page devoted to each class to report their social highlights, an editorial page, sports section, humor page, and a roving reporter page constituted the paper. The size of the paper was contrary to previous years. It was in the shape of a magazine with a cover to correspond to the occasion. We exchanged school papers with surrounding schools on a large scale and to these schools we wish to express our gratitude for their interesting material. We sincerely thank Mr. Parker and Miss Bentley for their inestimable assistance as advisors for our school paper publications and to the Class of ’50 we extend our best wishes that they may carry through our endeavors. BASKETBALL Our basketball team had an unsuccessful season last year as they won only four and lost fourteen. However, many of the games were very close and as the game ended, the opponents always seemed to be ahead by one or two points. Perhaps this poor season is a result of the late start that Barre had in starting basketball practice and only through the untiring efforts of Coach Mennard and Principal Leroy Dawson were we able to play in Florence Hall again. An interesting fact is that Barre seemed to be able to win all their practice games but could win only four of their regular games. They beat the Alumni twice. They defeated the Athol Y.M.C.A. twice, once by a score of 72-68, the highest score ever tallied by a Barre team. After the games at the Athol “Y” the players enjoyed swimming at the indoor chlorinated pool. At the Orange Tournament, Barre played its first game against Petersham, whom they had defeated twice this season, and had little trouble racking up a win. After this win, the team seemed inspired, and sincerely believ they could win the Tournament. However, they were bitterly disappointed when they were trounced by Thayer and automatically drop- ped out of the tournament. THE TEAM R. Salvadore, S. Andrukonis, C. Giarusso, W. Morse, A.

Although not in the sense of victory it will be remembered for its various phases of sports. From the opening of the basketball season in the fall, to the ending at spring, the girls showed great efforts. The “new look” was also added to the team this year. The girls were arrayed in brilliant maroon shorts and white blouses, displaying the school colors honorably. Alumnae of Barre High, Mrs. Kowal and Mrs. Puchalsky were announced as the new coaches. The games with Templeton were played in the afternoon and a supper was held after the games. The supper at Barre was greatly enjoyed because we celebrated our first and only victory of the season. In general, it will be credited once again this year that although not always victorious, the girls’ basketball team exhibited to the public enjoy- able games. Other sports included softball and volleyball played between the upper class and the lower classmen. 33 BASEBALL When the fifteenth of April rolls around each year, students at Barre High automatically think of two things, baseball and the yearbook. Because the yearbook goes to press long before the finish of the baseball season, a complete account of the year’s diamond doings is never published. Yet the yearbook would hardly seem complete if the baseball writeup were to be omitted. Mr. Scanlon, our coach, has picked a squad of seventeen players from a large group of high-spirited students who attended the practices and feels confident that he will better Coach Mclnerny’s creditable record of seven wins and three losses last year. Ten veterans remain from last year’s squad of eighteen. The way things stand now it seems as though Mallinson, Andrukonis, Staknis, and Ber- thiaume will take the mound while John Polock will do most of the catching. The infield seems well taken care of with Dave Berthiaume at first. Jack Cranston at second, John Bullard at short stop, and Sam Good- win at third. The “million dollar” outfield consists of veterans Joe Chilleri in left, Ben Andrukonis or Art Mallinson in center, and Romeo Babe Salva- ■dore in right. However, if any of these fielders fail to hit up to par, they will be replaced by other capable fellows. THE TEAM R. Baker, S. Andrukonis, S. Marsella, W. Morse, R. Salvadore, A. Mallinson, J.
