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.
