DEDJCATJOjN What you are speaks so loud that what you say cannot be heard. You yourself, Mr, Swan, are words.... you whose untiring and faith- ful service to comraunlty and school bespeaks far more than written or spoken expression ever will. We Seniors are words too.... but In a different sense. We are your words because we are your product. And we are your product because your scholarly Interest In our welfeire has made us your responsibility. In your labors to counsel and educate us through the silent thunder of good example, you have paved a shining path for us to follow. May the varied roles that we perform upon that road of life reflect your likeness so that wise men again will take pleasure in the comment: The song of a bard need never be sung In themselves they are words of a silvery tongue.

General for nurses training, then be an army nurse s: Secretary 3; Scriptus 4; Student Council 3; Glee Club 4; Volleyball 2; Pro Merito 3 We have not counted hours Of fleeting yesterdays Nor measured space The rapid pace Of childhood s short-lived ways. The shadows now of by-gone years Too late to us recall That we have sipped from youth’s own cup The sweetest drink of all! Will soon the fount of life impart A bitter taste to numb the heart? Will distant paths betray a thorn Where once - for us - a rose was born? What task is it to understand That we no more walk hand in hand With youth our friend.... Such bliss must end. No wonder then that we refrain To leave the sunlight for the rain... Our joys eclipsed so harshly soon Like flight from early morn to noon! What fate or fortune lies in store Beyond the world’s imposing door? Gone now our past We choose at last To linger on the shore. Yet ever onward each one must Pursue his goal in simple trust. For though life’s pleasures vanish In vague nonentity And happy hours darken To shades of mystery Another dawn is waiting To rise above the sea Changeless. . . .timeless. . . .endless thing It is Eternity! Miss Murray TIjVE Judith Sample At birth the Lord has set aside for me A span of years that I might call my ovm. And when I tread the path of life, I see The fruits that mankind has before me sown. Waste not those precious hours in evil ways Not greed nor hate for your companions take! Their tentacles reach forth and steal your days The harvest would be bitter — so awake! Spend wisely golden moments while they last Spread love and kindness — put aside the sword. So when at last you look upon the past, A life well spent will be your rich reward. The choice is mine. 0, Lord, which shall it be 0 guide me, God, that I may walk with Thee. QRADUADOjN Carmala Richiazsi As now my graduation day arrives My mind is filled with thoughts of days gone by The friendship and the happy hours we shared Bring to my heart a melancholy sigh. For now the road divides and now we part To travel on through life with higher aims To realize our dreams of happiness. Success, prosperity, and maybe fame. And though my heart is filled with sadness now. Faith and hope will see me through And somehow happiness will linger on If I but keep my faith forever new. And so my thoughts on graduation day Are bright with hope To mark my future way. TJjVJE Judith Sample The time we waste will not return Use well each fleeting precious hour Once gone, it does no good to yearn To will it back is not our pow’r.

We entered Barre High School as frightened, bewildered freshmen and thought the time would never come when we would be as confident and poised as the upper classmen. Time brought our senior year all too soon and with it the sophisti- cation we so envied in the seniors of proceeding years. In our youth, time means little to us. We throw it away as casually as we brush a fly away, but as we grow older, time and again we are brought face to face with the undeniable fact that time is wealth in an invisible form and we should make the most of it. In years to come, when we think back to the happy time here at Barre High, we will immediately think of the valuable friendships we made among the students and teachers and remember too all that Barre High has done for us. As seniors, we realize in many instances the time we have wasted that could have been used to good advantage, and regret the fact that we wasted it so foolishly, and perhaps many of us inwardly resolve that time from here on out will be like a priceless possession, that once lost can never be regained. The pleasant years we have spent in Barre High will long be remembered by the Class of 1951. Patricia Stevenson The hope of the world lies in the youth of today, who stand on the brink of the unknown future, just as Columbus did when he groped his way through the uncharted seas. In normal times, gradua- tion is a goal which, once attained, frees us to follow our own pursuits. World conditions today make this impossible. Unrest, confusion and law- lessness stalk the weary earth today. The forces of communism threaten our stronghold of democracy, and the weakening of our moral fiber bores like a termite from within. Unsettled time make young people reluctant to plan ahead. They tend to adopt a What does it matter attitude. The general public seems to be indif- ferent to world ills. When they do rouse themselves, it is only to criticize their leaders, or to say, What can I do; I am just one person? Just look back upon the history of our country, or of the world. Every era had its problems. Since the beginning of time, the plagues, wars, and depressions were obstacles to the happiness of former generations. We must accept the challenge of these troubled times, and rise above the confusion with renewed hope and courage to face our future unafraid. We must work to bring out the wonderful possi- bilities of scientific discoveries and new inventions for the good of all mankind. Judith Sample CLASS SOjNG (MELODY: MAKE BELIEVE) Once we made believe in dreaming Of a wonder-world built neath a star. Dancing there Nought a care marred the gleaming Of that night Such delight yet how far Must our dream await fulfilling Just a few short years.... one maybe two Now the dawn Of our day has us thrilling To a make believe come true. No more make-believe. . .it s ending In our Senior Year fashioning anew Springtime song Come along... this pretending Yields romance Take a chance. .. .meant for you Is this day of days a blending Of our sweetest dreams come into view Father time In his climb sees us wending Through a make-believe that’s true. Carol Rice Always before when Spring starts its contortions I have felt happy, sleepy and glad. For Spring is the season for all these emotions, But this year I’m a senior and sad Yes, this year I’m a senior and older This is the year ’tis said is best I am now more mature, smarter, and bolder — No matter, I’m leary of leaving this nest. This nest that has for four years been The place where most of the day I spent Where troubles and gladness walk out and in This is the high school where I once went. As our class leaves the school this year I’ll remember with sadness the last spring here. CLASS WILL Be it knovm that we, the members of the Class of one thousand nine hundred and fifty-one of the Barre High School, being of tired body and doubtful mind, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. After payments have been made for our trip to Washington, and other just debts, we do hereby give, dedicate and bequeath as follows I Unto future classes we leave our veneer of sophistication, our supercilious attitudes, our affected savoir-faire, and the forlorn hope that they will carefully avoid our example. II Unto the Juniors we leave the warning that the regular pay- ment of the Washington Fund dues is the best policy. III Unto the Sophomores we bequeath our nebulous wisdom, our crumbled castles in the air, and--the right to eat ice cream at the Ice Cream Social. IV Unto the Freshmen we leave nothing, for the reason that we cannot see them, having misplaced our microscope. V Drawing on the culture we have absorbed, we dedicate the following movies: lir.

McAndrew SENIOR TRIP It was a warm and long awaited day in April, the twelfth of the month, that dawned bright and clear, and the Senior Trip to New York and Washington was about to begin. We traveled to New York by Trailways bus, arriving early in the afternoon, a little tired from traveling, but we didn’t mind. The first afternoon and evening was spent sightseeing and viewing a show at Radio City. Early Friday morning the group left the hotel, traveling by bus to Jersey City, where we boarded a train for Washington, D. C, After an enjoyable train trip through the state of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the class arrived at the station in Baltimore, Maryland, where we met our Washington guide. We boarded the bus and proceeded on a tour of Baltimore, going to Fort McHenry, where Francis Scott Key wrote our National Anthem , then to the Franciscan Monastery on the outskirts of the capitol city and on to the Hotel Harrington. We had the evening free, but we certainly had a wonderful time. We met in the lobby of the hotel early Saturday morning and from there proceeded on a tour of the city, visiting the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Institute, Jefferson Memorial, National Art Gallery, and then returned to the hotel for lunch. The after- noon was spent touring the capitol building and visiting the Washington zoo. After we had a delicious supper, we saw the illuminated capitol building, the Congressional Library, and went swimming at an indoor pool. Those who went had a marvelous time. Sunday morning everybody attended their respective church and after the services boarded the bus for a trip to Fort Myer, Arlington Cemetery, where they saw the impressive changing of the guard, and then continued to Mount Vernon, Virginia, to see the home of George Washington. In the afternoon we visited Annapolis where we had an enjoyable time going around the military academy with our guide. Then we entrained at Baltimore for the return trip to New York. On Monday morning, the students went shopping and sightseeing, and that evening saw the stage play, ’’Kiss Me Kate,” starring Anne Jeffreys. After that, many of the students made the most of their last night by going out to different places such as a night club, movies, or to Times Square to see the bright lights. A stop was made at the Empire State Building on Tuesday morning, and then we boarded the bus for the return trip home. We, the Seniors, had a very nice time and will never forget the phone calls we had every morning at seven-thirty from Mr. Flynn saying, Time to get up.” We wish to thank Miss Bentley and Mr. Flynn for making our trip such a success. To us, it was a trip that will long be remembered. presented BY THE SENIOR aASS |D|i -m iR 1 ■ M ■ -A ' K.

At the first class meeting we elected our officers, the out- come being John Cranston, President; Barbara Sears, Vice President; Elaine Miller, Secretary; and Philip Staknis, Treasurer. This year we uphold our reputation in the annual magazine drive coming in second instead of third, as we had the two previous years. We are still very proud of the fact that we had the good fortune never to have to do exercises. We 11 always remember Barbara s great contribution in making the Minstrel Show and Christmas Social the successes that they were. Mysterious! Suspenseful! These are the words which describe the tragedy which Kenny wrote. What a disappointment it was to everybody when the Juniors were unable to present it because of the lack of time. We 11 never forget Audrey and the spectacular cowboy she made. Outstanding in a few of the girls memories will be the hard work that came with the two Junior suppers. Of course, they never could have succeeded in making them so profitable if it hadn t been for the able assistance of the boys. We 11 always be proud of Phil, our unforgettable lanky center. His height and athletic ability proved to be a great asset to Mr. Mennard as it did also to his teamates. Margaret s, Elaine s and Bunny s assistance to the girls team cannot be overlooked. We were all very proud to think that over half of the cheerleader s squad was made up of Junior lassies, Peggy, Carol, Midge and Carolyn. The big moment in the lives of the Juniors came the night of May iBth. Joey Parks and his orchestra made their initial visit to Barre and provided melodious tunes which everyone enjoyed. The ring ceremony high lighted this eventful evening. At this time of year our thoughts turn to graduation. There, several of us hope to receive awards for the many things we have accomplished in the course of three years. Before we can realize it, we will soon be climbing the steps of Barre High School as the Sophisticated Seniors. MAY YOUR SKIES BE ALWAYS BLUE! SENIORS JUjNI ORS WHY WE� LL MISS THE SENIORS AFTER JUNE 19 No more champs in basketball Because there’s lots of personality and humor in the class which helped to brighten up the school. Because they were our closest friends at all times since we were freshmen We will miss Judy’s vigor, Bob P.’s humor; but most of all, the basket- ball players and manager. They are a swell group of kids and I hate to see them go. Because they are so friendly and helpful Because of their talent in music, athletics and helpfulness to B. H. S. Because of their unique ideas, like the coke machine Because of their selling ability — The Senior Play Book Because of their acting ability — The Senior Play Because of their efficient treasurer, Red Mennard Because of their big businessman — Geno Caranci Because of Patricia Stevenson’s wonderful issues of Scriptus Because of Jane and Christine’s sparklers Because of Ed Werner’s sundaes Because of Millie’s basketball playing Because of Liz’s wonderful preserving Because of Joe Martone’s music Because of June Mucha’s wonderful smile Because of Popo’s wondrous gum chewing Because of Irene’s efficiency and sincerity Because of happy hours spent together Because of Buddy’s ability to sing Nut Brown Maiden” Because of Luella Lincoln’s scholastic ability Because Bob Mason didn’t get any bread with one meatball Because of their Christmas Social Because Room 7 won’t seem quite the same Because the magazine drive never was so successful Because Glee Club was made interesting by Irene and Judy Because of the lovely autumn Senior Tea Because of Joe Aliquo’s work on the Barretone Because it is the Class of ’51 � I ' ; Bradley Beckwith Elizabeth Better Joseph Binowski Bruce Bryant Joe Cappello Frances Converse Joan Damon Margeine DeLibero John Flynn Alfred Fuller Monica Kasputis Michael Kowal Lorraine Lam Joseph LiVolsi Kathleen McGrady Janet Miller Joyce Miller Mary Ann Molino Ruby Morris Sylvia Persechino David Puchalsky Rose Ricchiazzi Margaret Roberts Margaret Scott Nadine Stewart Beverly Strong Hazel Waterman Nancy Wells Bernard Whitney Carol Woodland SOPrJOjVJORE PJJSTORY Feeling no longer timid or skeptical of what was to happen to us, we once more assembled in our home room and ascended the steps of B. H. S. for our second year. We were really proud and had a great deal of confidence in ourselves as we entered in our familiar surroundings. The first few weeks we were busy getting adjusted to our new class officers. The results were: President — David Puchalsky, Vice President — Margaret Roberts, Treasurer — Joseph LiVolsi, and Secretary — Betty Ann Better. With the arrival of Del Obert, we started the magazine drive very enthusiastically, but when the results were announced, we found that again we had lost, but we took the consequences graciously. The Halloween Social was just around the corner, and we found that our long-awaited social was to be planned. I think we will all remember Joe LiVolsi in The Soft-Hearted Ghost , who could not believe he was such a crooner himself. The Sophomore Class was proud to have two members of the class on the varsity basketball team, Joseph LiVolsi and David Puchalsky. We were especially honored that Dave was one of the outstanding players on the team. A number of the Sophomore girls participated in the girls basketball squad and we were proud to have Nancy Wells become such a good player. Carol Woodland, Nadine Stewart and Mary Ann Molino participated in the preliminaries of Prize Speaking. Nadine Stewart was awarded third prize in the finals; the fourth position going to Mary Ann Molino. After many secret meetings, we expressed our best wishes to Miss Wheeler, our homeroom teacher — the bride of the year at B. H. S. , in a surprise party in her honor. With the closing of our most enjoyable year, we are all looking forward to our class trip to Whalem Park and the prospect of being Juniors. We would like to thank Miss Murray for all her help this year. She was a great help in organizing our surprise party for Miss Wheeler, buying presents, and composing verses. We also enjoyed her as a homeroom teacher while Miss Wheeler was away. THE SOPHOMORES SEND THEIR HEARTIEST WISHES FOR SUCCESS SENIORS. Problems Facing Seniors Graduating Today The Senior boy of today, when he graduates, faces a number of years of military service. This prospect isn’t very encourag- ing to some. Some boys try their hardest to get classified as Zf-F in the draft, but these are only a few. Most of them want to go in and get it over with. Most seniors wish to go on to college. Some have jobs already for them when they graduate. The Senior girl has many opportunities, although they have their problems facing them. The majority of them have to look for jobs, or they have the problem of marriage facing them. A few have the problem of nothing to do; some cannot find jobs; some have to help support families. These last few problems face both boys and girls. Both boys and girls of today face a tremendous problem of economio instability, inflation, war, and corruption. This generation has to solve these problems. The boys and girls of today will decide the future of America and the world. They have to unwind the tangled mess of national and international affairs, which the preceeding generation has started. Only through unprejudiced, unbiased, and clear thinking with people reasoning for themselves are they, the seniors, the future citizens of the world, going to be able to straighten out the tangled mess of problems. IF I WERE A SENIOR Bradley Beckwith GRADUATION If I were a senior, now let me think. What would I want to be? A butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker. Or is it more schooling for me? I’d like to sail to distant lands. And to see the Golden Gate,” Or is ray destiny my own home town? Do you think that will be my fate? Maybe I’ll be rich, or maybe I’ll be poor, A nurse or a doctor — could be! But whatever I am, or whatever I may have , I’ll leave- for time to tell to me. And so to the Seniors of ’51, we leave this parting phrase. May you find happiness in your vocations, and have it all your days. The years have quickly sped by. And now is the time to say good-by Sadness fills every graduate’s heart But yet we will not be far apart. For in our minds they’ll always be Sharing everybody’s company. Now the seniors face a different life. Where in some lives there’ll be much strife . To be a Freshman is yearned by all. But to be a Senior is what we’ll recall . In all our old memories of B. H. S. Our dear friends will be the best. And to every student in the Senior Class On to them, lots of luck we pass.

Soon the bell rang, and everyone was passing to their first class. Several new students were lost; but this, however, was expected by everyone. On the first day, the boys received the usual duckings in a most fragrant solution. Although they didn’t like it too well, they took the duckings in a good-natured manner. Finally, the last bell rang! At last our first day at B. H. S. was at an end. On the day of our first assembly, we were all shaking with fright. The upper classmen clapped and cheered as we came in and took our seats. Of course, we were requested to sing a school song, which we did. It wasn’t too terrible! Our first social came when the Sophomores put on their Halloween Social in the assembly hall of the high school. All the freshmen who attended the social enjoyed it very much, especially the entertainment! Just about this time we were introduced to Del Obert and the magazine drive. Although this was new to us, we managed to beat the sophomores. What fun we had watching them do exercises. By the time we were well enough acquainted so that we could elect class officers, the elections were held and the results showed that the officers of the year were — William Gorman, President; Joseph Persechino, Vice President; Richard Wine, Treasurer; and Pauline Puchalsky, Secretary. At the Christmas Social, put on by the Seniors, everyone had a grand time and enjoyed the entertainment, eating, and dancing. When the basketball season rolled around, many of the freshmen turned out to take part in playing. Some even made the varsity teams! The class felt very proud when, at the annual prize-speaking contest, Jeanne McAndrew received top honors for winning first prize . Toward the end of the school year, the freshmen will turn their thoughts to class day and graduation where they will spend their last days as freshmen, putting chairs out on the lawn and doing other odd jobs for the Seniors. GOOD LUCK, BEST WISHES, CONGRAT ULATIONS, SENIORS! FRESrJjVJaN DEDICATION TO THE SENIORS I send this special wish to you To start the future right, That all your hours will be gay And all your moments bright. I hope the sun will shine on you Wherever you may go, and may you be as carefree As the gentle winds that blow. May you discover many friends you never knew before And may their happiness in life be always at your door. I pray that every song you sing will bring another smile That all your plans and projects will really be worth while. A most successful future is my deepest wish for you And as the weeks and months go by May all your dreams come true. Mary Ward A FRESHMAN’S THOUGHT I wish I were a Senior With all their thoughts galore. Just thinking of the future And studying no more. But on another second thought, A Freshman I would be With four more years of teachers dear And fun and friends to see. For sadness lurks upon the day When friends and teachers part. From years ahead, that day seems great-- But soon it breaks your heart. TAKING TURNS The Seniors are the most advanced At least in space of years. This is their last of carefree joy Of life which holds no fears. We have three more years to go, While the Seniors have had their fun. They can but look back at long ago. When their turn had just begun. When they started--how the days did drag Now, how the time has flown. They’ll have but memories of Barre High When they are on their own. Richard Gariepy I WISH I WERE A SENIOR I wish I were a Senior With four long years behind At graduation we would sing The faithful Auld Lang Syne I’d look back three long years ago Scared Freshmen all were we And think, In three more years Proud Seniors we will be. But since I am a Freshman With three more years — that’s all I’d better stop my dreaming Or I won’t get there at all. Pauline Sidoti Bernice Mennard We, the staff, have done our best to preserve the traditions of the Barretone. Within its covers we have also tried to preserve the memories of 1951, so that the reminiscing student may recall with clarity the events of that memorable year. The work was not easy, because of many difficulties which had to be overcome before we could bend all our efforts toward making this Barretone meet the standards set by previous years. To all those who have in any way contributed to making this book a success we wish to extend our sincerest thanks. We also want to thank the merchants for their generous advertising. Without their help, we could not have published this book. STAFF Editor Assistant Editor Business Manager Advisor Judith Sample Patricia Stevenson Irene Kowza Miss Corcoran Joseph Aliquo George Mennard John Pollock Miles Brown Luella Lincoln Joseph Sawtell Carol Rice June Mucha Camela Richiazzi Jane Strong Gene Caranci On February 13, 1951, the Senior Class presented a mystery comedy in three acts entitled The Haunted High School. This play will long be remembered for the ghastly shrieks and howls that were emitted from the stage of Williams Hall. The action of the entire play occurred in the reception room and principalis office of Eagle High School in a medium- sized city in the Middle West. The play allowed for some very fine character acting on the part of Miss Drake, the detective, and Miss Delande. Beside being a very delightful evening of entertainment, the Senior Play was very successful financially. The Senior Class really outdid themselves in their advertising campaign. Candy and pop were sold at the play. Special thanks must be given at this time to Miss Lavery, who helped in the stage setting. As usual, the Seniors wish to bestow many thanks to Mr. Flynn, who in every way made the play a great success. Irene Kowza Amelia Chakuas Joseph Aliquo Aldona Sluckis Joseph Martone CAST John Pollock Robert Phoenix Luella Lincoln Miles Brown Joseph Sawtell Rosamond Moran Jane Strong Patricia Stevenson June Mucha CHRISTjVJAS play Holiday lovers in Barre had a peek well worth their glances in the December presentation of the Alumni Social which this year featured the Senior Class choristers in a most attractive framing behind an equally attractive window setting. So con- tagious was their festive spirit that the very air rang with their welcome of Christmas, Christmas, through my window Christmas, Christmas, through my window Christmas, Christmas, through my window 0 Joyous Christmas. The successful blending in a program which entwined both the gay and the serious produced a harmony which offers a challenge to next year’s performance. Jack Frost with all his handiwork was much in evidence in the artistic panorama of Christmas color that transformed the Assemby Hall. Following their long and steady rehearsals, the various Senior Committees (Miss Murray included) agreed that the evening’s success and beauty was wonderfully worth their efforts. SCRIPTUS An always pleasant occurrence in Barre High School is the publication of our school newspaper, the Scriptus, which makes its appearance at Intervals during the school year. All the students eagerly look forward to receiving the paper when it is scheduled to come out, and that they greatly appreciate it is doubtless. Shortly after school reopened, Patricia Stevenson was unanimously elected editor of the Scriptus, eind a competent staff was selected to work in the making of this success. Basically, the paper followed the same pattern of proceeding years. A fron page containing the latest important developments, an editorial page, a feature page containing articles, or poems, the much enjoyed cartoon page and the Roving Reporter column. The sport section and the reviews of movies and recent records have always been standing favorites. The students who comprised the Scriptus staff feel that their association with the school newspaper has been an Invaluable experience to them. They have had some idea of newspaper construction in a minor sense, and have learned the true meaning of cooperation and working together to achieve a final goal. Everyone can understand the feeling of satisfaction a student gets from seeing an article of his own creation printed in the Scriptus for all to read. I SCREAM. YOU SCREAM WE ALL SCREAM ICE CREAM And what else to be cheered for that long-awaited afternoon in October, when the very proud and victorious class of Seniors took places of honor oil the Assembly Hall stage. We had worked long hours that proceeding week as salesmen eager to do their Job well. Did seven days ever go so quickly? The competition in our cause was heavy, for our brother classes were eager tool Perhaps it was our recognition of the challenge that stood before us, or Del Olbert ' s promise to go “pant-less should we rate “superior that prompted us to emerge the “victors in what proved to be an exciting (to say the least) cainpalgnl Our commission and spoils awaited us then that autumn day in our super-indulgence of that favorite American dessert most pleasantly nerved (with cookies) by faculty members in full kitchen drees. How envious the underclassmen were, but their day is coming, and it ' s a wonderful one, we assure them. This merriment seemed the Introduction to many happy events to follow, the first step, as it were, on our ladder to later Joys and Senior dreams. Could any beginning have been sweeter than one flavored with ice cream? Every Monday as is customary, the G-lee Club met during the Music Period under the direction of Miss Chase. The boys and girls of each class were combined into a union of well-blended voices. Several Glee Club members have also sung at public gatherings. We were particularly favored this year with such wonderful voices as those of Barbara Sears and Claire Burguess. Following the example set forth by previous senior classes, a Senior Choir was organized from members of the Glee Club. It made its debut at the Christmas Social and all who attended agreed that the choir harmonized the songs beautifully. This year emphasis was placed on popular music to a greater degree than ever before. Irene Kowza was kind enough to loan some of her popular music, and this spark kindled a new interest in Clee Club. For many years. Miss Helen Chase has been the supervisor of the Glee Club and to her we wish to extend our slncerest thanks in maintaining such a successful and creditable Glee Club. Rah TeamJ Rah Team! Fight, Fight, Fight C’mon Barre, do it right! I It was no secret that the maroon and grey attired youngsters giving vent to such utterances as these were, of course, our ardent cheerleaders. ... this year seven strong in the persons of: Carol Stevenson, Bernice Mennard, Norma Tolman, Carolyn Burke, Carol Berthiaume, Marjorie Prada and Peggy Sawtell. The vigor and freshness of their spirited leadership accounted for a responsive cry from the cheering section on all occasions. And songsters were our sweet seven as well! Remember their cute parody to the tune of ”The Thing”? An asset to every game and basketball court, we were proud of our sportive addition in feminine pulchritude! Three cheers for them all! RADJO CLUB Secretary Janice Mann Reporting From Station WBHS : For the first time this year at Barre High School a group of students, with the help of Mr. Flynn, organized a Radio Club. Although membership was small, our enthusiasm was great with all who belonged very proud of our organization. The Club’s director (Mr. Flynn), who is an experienced radio worker, gave much of his valuable time and encouragement to our club activities. We wish to thank him sincerely because through his efforts and generosity, we have gained much knowledge that has been useful to us in our radio club work. Our other club officers, June Mucha, President, and John Flynn, Vice President, were with me in the picture we had taken which was later published in the Barre Gazette. (It pays to advertise, so Mr. Flynn had prompted us.) The weekly meeting of Station WBHS would be held each Monday in Mr. Flynn’s room. Here, with everyone busy in the making of sound effects, composing of commercials, script writing and acting, we proved successful in the presentation of our radio programs. Our first actual venture in broadcasting was accomplished when Marilyn Baker and Mona Kasputis represented B. H. S. over Station WORC in Worcester, at which time in March, they discussed the ten top tunes popular with teen-agers. Following their appearance, we selected Patricia Stevenson and George Mennard to discuss a similar topic, this time over Station WARE in Ware. We were proud of our representatives ... then more so in May in our successful presentation of a play which proved successful in its broad- cast after many rehearsals. This secretary is confident in making note that next year’s adventure in radio for B. H. S. students should be an interesting one if the progress of our initial move is any indication. We think it is! PrJOTOQBAPrjy CLUB Smile for the birdie was seldom the warning this year on the part of enthusiastic students and camera fans whose candid shots would almost always catch one completely off guard. Victims of the Would-be photographers will guarantee that the Camera Club under the spirited direction of Mr. Seville was a busy one as headed by Juniors Henry Swan and Marguerite Williams, President and Secretary-Treasurer respectively. Interesting points in camera technique, developing, printing, periodic lectures, and the showing of slides were among some of the phases of our weekly program. Club members amassed an assemblage of shots which were utilized in the preparation of a scrap book. .. completely original! It is advocated that all who are interested bring more than nencils and papers and books next year. .. .you’ ve guessed it! A camera, of course! Al- JMG Orators in the making were the enthusiastic group of students who willingly presented themselves as candidates for the annual competition in Prize Speaking which highlighted our calendar days in March. In the days preceding tr. ' final performance, after-school hours were especially busy ones, finding coaches and crew expending precious time in the cultivation of voice control, stage presence, interpretive art and memory work. A wide variety in dramatic selections flavored the program with a new improved technique this year and challenged the judges to a difficult decision which favored among boy competitors: George Mennard in first place and Ralph Lincoln claiming second honors. Our female representatives in order of their ratings were: Jeanne McAndrew, June Mucha, Nadine Stewart and Mary Ann Molino. How pleased we were that a capacity crowd and most receptive one was present to encourage the participants. Laurels to all for their splendid efforts and the shining example they have set forth for future Barre High Thespians! BASKETBALL Barre has had the best basketball season since the school has started to play basketball. They boasted a record of 16 victories and five defeats. Five of the victories were in post season games; three were in the Tri-State Tournament. One was with Petersham in Ware; one with Thayer in Turners Falls. The team won the Tri-State Tournament for the first time since they had entered. They also won the King Philip Championship for the second straight year, records for the school with 3 Philip Staknis George Mennard Gene Caranci John Pollock Dave B erthiaume Dave Puchalsky Bill Gorman Joe LiVolsi A1 Pannacione Dominic Spasaro Norman Gilley Len Dawson George Mennard Sr. Joe Sawtell Philip Staknis broke all scoring points.

The first home game was against North Brookfield resulting in a victory for Barre . Next, we met Rutland but Lady Luck vfes not with us at either game, and though we fought staunchly, we lost both Rutland games. The game against Hardwick is one which will long be remembered, for we had two reasons for winning, the right to stay in the King Philip League and revenge for all former Barre teams who had fallen to them. And win we did, 56-47, but in the return match we were at the short end of the score. Warren and New Salem fell to the determined Barre team, but the matches against Templeton and Petersham again found us at the short end of the score. We ended the season by defeating North Brookfield on their home court, 51-35. Thirty-five girls turned out to try for the team. Not all the girls were chosen for the girls varsity by Coach Lavery, but they all continued to come to all the practices. They all showed interest and enthusiasm for the sport which will aid in building strong teams in future years. Adrienne Puchalsky and Elaine Miller were chosen Co-Captains and did their work well. The twenty-two girls who composed the basketball squad were: Marilyn Bentley, Elizabeth Black, Amelia Chakuas, Beverly Chandler, Sylvia Dahart, Margaret Dixson, Adeline DiNatale, Audrey Gawthrop, Betty Mae Jacobson, Irene Kowza, Stella Kowza, Jeanne McAndrew, Elaine Miller, Janet Miller, Joyce Miller, Mary Ann Molino, Sylvia Persechino, Adrienne Puchalsky, Pauline Puchalsky, Margaret Roberts, Audrey Sample, and Nancy Wells. n ”Take us out to the ballgame. . .take us out to the crowd.... And out to the games we were (peanuts and popcorn in hand) cheering our men to victory, baseball activities so much of a challenge this spring following our thrilling conquests in basketball. Will our boys every forget those morning workouts during April vacation when Mr. Scanlon had them right in the swing for their encounters with neighboring teams from Winchendon, Hardwick, Holden, Orange, New Salem, and Warren? ”Who’s up at bat? How s the outfield? ’ Where s our first baseman? We want a homerun were familiar cries from the spectators in the traditional style associated with this grand old American sport. Barre had reason to be proud of her lineup (shining reflection of Coach Scanlon) and her team has certainly supplied incentive for future seasons and stars to shine. Root, root, root for the home team, it is. . . .was. . . . and always will be Wait ' n seel I!
