BARRETO NE Within the pages of our Barretone, we have endeavored to familiarize you with the graduate ' s achievements, activities, and his advancement through his four years at Barre High School. 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.

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.

SCRIPTUS One of the many outstanding activities at Barre High this year, was the publication of the ever-popular Scriptus. 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.
