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.

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
