Long forgotten memories of days gone by. Days I shall remember v ith a light hearted sigh. As I came across the Scriptus and the Barret one, I recalled the many classmates that I had known. Did they take the upv ard path they needed? And those that were chosen have they succeeded? V hat fun it is to remember the good times we shared. Basketball games, won and last, the joy and sorrow v e bared. And all the fun of remembered high school romances. And all the proms, socials, and dances. And now very much to my surprise. The time has flown and I must rise. So I close the trunk and the books are gone. But I shall remember as the memories linger on. Audrey Carter f - f‘ f C4 -C f¥? - f hd yCi-gifLJ ta-v- J! _6,.

To you I also owe my plans for the future years. During these four formative years of my life at Barre High School the faculty have always placed squarely before my class- mates and myself the knowledge expressed by the well known say- ing, ’ V ’hat T get out of life de- pends upon what I put into it,” Careful study and preparation of class assignments coupled with the help extended to me by each one of the faculty of B,H,S, have brought with them a more compre- hensive knowledge of all subjects, than I would otherwise have ex- perienced. Team v ork both in class and school activities creates a spirit of loyalty in any student. This spirit of loyalty, acquired during school life, vi ill remain with me alw ' ays in whatever path my future may lie. It will be the stepping stone tov«rard a true co-operation with my fellow workers. The knov ledge acquired from books plus the dally association with the faculty and fellow class- mates, places me in a position to make decisions as to which road I wish to travel in the years that lie ahead. Thank you B,H,S, for the firm foundations you have helped me to build. Always, in the years that follow, we will remember you v;lth respect and esteem and a sincere hope you will impress all future students with a desire to be a credit to B.H.S, As we, the graduating class of 1952, look back upon our four years at Barre High, it is with a tinge of sadness and regret that we real- ize that our high school days are over and that v ith them have gone the carefree days of youth. Dur- ing these four years, we have gain- ed in knowledge --through mistakes we have made and the things we have been taught here in school. We have made many friendships, some of v hich v ill last long after our golden school days are over. Now the portals of life are being opened to us and we must step forv ard to meet its challenges, Nov we must decide what course we are to take. Some of us will go on to college while others will begin to v ork. But no matter what v;e decide, we must make our deci- sions wisely and carefully. Many opportunities will be opened to us and it is up to each and every one of us to make the most of them. Some of us in this ”Class of 52” may find success and reach ambition ' s height, while the rest of us lead a mediocre existence. But no matter what w ' alk of life we take, we shall all have our share of disappointments v hich must and will be faced bravely and coura- geously for here at Barre High a strong foundation has been formed upon which we can build our future, ' That is why we, the members of the Class of ' 52 will keep our class motto in mind-- ' ' Into Greater Depths to Reach Greater Heights,” Yes, we v ill go into the depths of life and v e w’lll reach greater heights--because we are the Class of ' 52. Jacqueline W ' hippee Sylvia Prancoise April 14, the lUonday after Easter, brought all of the Seniors of the class of ' 52 out in the rain to board Stewart ' s bus at six o ' clock in the morning. At 8:03 a.m, we were Nev York bound on one of those streamed line silver and blue trains. From New York we traveled on to Baltimore, Maryland where we shall always remember all of those scrubbed white steps, Y e met Earl, our guide, who drove us from Baltimore into YYashington, and we had the wonderful sensation of seeing V ashington at night. The Capital was lighted up like a great white cake in the center of many other white gleaming monuments to our great national heroes. The Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials were beautiful; the YVhite House and the Library of Congress fascinated us. After having a good night ' s rest — hum — we started out bright and early to see National Arlington Cemetery and the beautiful Lee Mansion, From there we saw the Changing of the Guards, and then on we v ent to Mount Vernon, the beautiful country home of George YVashington, After tasting delicious chicken in the rough, we set forth again to see many wonderful places of interest in and around Washington, At noon on Wednesday we bid farewell to V ashington and started for Nev York, V e thought that the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty were very impressive. On Thursday morning we saw a wonderful show at Radio City Music Hall, On Thursday evening we saw the thrilling musical South Pacific from which we were all humming such beautiful melodies as Some Enchanted Evening, Younger than Spring- time, and Happy Talk, V e took our final tour of that huge city of hustle and bustle and we sav Grant ' s Tomb, Columbia University, Fifth Avenue, St, Patrick ' s Cathedral, Central Park and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. V e were all totally exhausted on our return trip, but we were anxious to see our parents and Barre again. The Seniors of the class of 1952 v ill never forget their wonder- ful class trip. They owe thanks to many people for such a v onderful vacation. Their parents are tops on the list, Mr. Dawson and Llr. Flynn helped so much in arranging for the trip. The merchants of the tovm were more than generous in supporting all functions v hich the class ran in order to procure funds for the trip, V e v ould all like to thank Mr, and Mrs. Baker for being our Chaperones, It v as nice to have Lliss Corcoran along too, Y e know that the future classes at Barre High School have a tremendous load of fun ahead for them in going on their Senior trip.

That was the thought of most of us as vre entered B.H.S. on that September day. Before school began, the boys were taken down to the base- ment, where they were ducked” in a most fragrant solution. When they returned to the classroom, they looked like v et hens, with their hair standing on ends, and dirty water dripping down their necks. The first bell soon rang, and the large classroom was filled with forty-two pupils looking very frightened. Of course, as it was expected, a few of us v ent into the wrong classrooms at the wrong bells. At last the bell rang to terminate our first day as Freshmen of Barre High School, As we climbed the stairs and entered the hall for our first assembly, we were cheered by the upper classmen, and were very happy at this great welcome. Then came the magazine drive, which resulted in our doing exercises at the rear of the hall. Our first social, which many of us attended was put on by the Sophomores at Halloween. Those of us who attended, had a very nice time. After enjoying the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore assemblies, it vras finally our turn to perform. We were all very excited as well as frightened. Our theme was Radio City , and we supposedly had professional performers from New York. V e enjoyed ourselves rehearsing for it, and we think it went over very well. After a few months at school, we became well enough acquainted to choose class officers for the year. The results were — Thomas Puchalsky, President; Gildo Rotondo, Vice-President; Carol White, Treasurer; and Lucille Coppolino, Secretary, As this school year ends, we know v e will find the boys set- ting up chairs outside on the lavm for Class Day, and doing what ever they can to help the Seniors, The Freshmen of Barre High School wish the Seniors, the best of luck in their chosen fields. Fa rev ell We hail the Class of fifty- two, As it goes forth anew. To seek the higher hopes and goals, Inspired by our school. Twas here in Barre High, alas. We met you. Senior Class. Though short the year we spent with you. Friends we made, tried and true. And now that you are leaving us. To start along lifers way. y e hope you 11 not forget your pals. The Freshmen Class, both boys and gals. Good luck to you, where ' er you roam. In places near or far from home. V e hope you ' ll always keep alive. The friendship made with fifty-five. Mary Gorman To The Class of ' 52 May I address the Senior Class, Direct to every lad and lass. V e like to get a thought across. Although just now I ' m at a loss. For words to help express my thoughts. They seem all tied in endless knots. Well, to begin I ' d like to say. I ' ll miss you when you go away. And that not only goes for me. But every single he and she. That knows you as I ' m sure they do. For it takes but a while to make friends with you. I just can ' t say how much I hope. In future years you ' ll have to cope. With only the problems of average men. And that more of life ' s tragedys enter in. I hope your lives will always be. Full of love and hope through eternity. Carol White The Age Of The Air Plane In 1923 Lindbergh bought his first plane. The following year Lindbergh went into the United States Air Force reserves. While he was in the Air Force, he made a non-stop trip from New York to Paris. V hen he got back from his non- stop flight, he thought of something new, and was the first man to do it. He decided to carry mail by air which turned out to be very successful. The United States and France and many other countries were very proud of Lindbergh, because Lindbergh had found a nev , and faster way to carry mail across the ocean. Since the day of Lindbergh, planes have been perfected; they are built better, they can go a long distance in a shorter time, because a plane of today can go around the world in a matter of hours, and some are so fast, that they are faster than sound. Some of these planes will travel at the rate of 6 OO m. p. h. In the days of Lindbergh they didn ' t think of carrying large numbers of people across the ocean, but we do. Some of our big passenger planes will carry up to one hundred persons, but this couldn ' t have been done if it wasn ' t for a brave man, who served his country well. Planes have come to play a vital part in the lives of every person today. The seniors of ’1952 shall remember this year as one of speed, conquest, communication, and slaughter because of the airplanes. Leonard Martone SA RR rojN Every Spring finds the Senior room just buzzing with the many activities which take place in April The Senior Trip is looked forward to more than anything else. The Barretone campaign seems just a small part of the many worries and accomplishments v hich the class must undertake. Each year the Seniors do manage to raise the funds and produce a year- book which is a credit to our class and our school. This year the Senior Class prides itself on having lived up to the standards of past years, and we hope that all of the students in the high school are pleased with the results. The staff would like to thank those who in any way con- tributed to making this book a success, V e wish to thank the merchants for their generous contributions, Vi ithout their help we could not have published this book, STAFF Editor Assistant Editor Business Manager Advisor Sylvia Francoise Adrienne Puchalsky Barbara Sears Miss Corcoran Phyllis Bechan Carol Riffenburg Carol Burke Rose Rlcchiazzl Kenneth Izzl Henry Swan Robert Glldden Len Dawson Jacqueline Whlppee Margaret Sawtell Stanley Kasputis Audrey Carter JCE CREAjV) social The Seniors did it again this year. Yes, they sold the largest number of magazine subscriptions and had the honorable position of holding the stage at the annual ice cream social. As usual the faculty performed and served the refreshments to the deserving Seniors, The Freshmen were doing their exercises in the back of the assembly hall; the Sophomores observed all activities, while the Juniors racked their brains to keep the happy little party entertained. Coming so early in the year, the ice cream social just seemed to be a preview of coming attractions. The great finan- cial success of the drive, enabled the school to enjoy many added attractions that it might not have enjoyed otherwise. We are sure that in the Autumn of next year, the Seniors of the Class of 1952 will be wondering just who is eating the delicious ice cream this year and wondering if they are enjoy- ing it just as much as they did last year. Without the wonderful support of Del Olbert who started us on the campaign and without the splendid patronage of the generous subscribers, our campaign could not be such a huge success. The Seniors and the underclassmen owe a debt of thanks to all. GLEE CLUB We have been very fortunate this year in having Miss Chase with us full time in Barre . Under her fine leadership. Glee Club period on Monday has been very enjoyable. The Glee Club sang at the Women ' s Club in January, The Choristers will also sing at the Music Festival in Athol on May 17, We were honored in having the large Glee Club from Leicester High School perform for us at an assembly early in the year, and in turn our Barre High School Glee Club plans to perform for the Leicester High School student body. Many of the lusty voices of the Glee Club may be heard from the basketball team singing such favorite songs as Nut Brown Maiden, Barbara Sears and Claire Burgess have been grand assets to the Glee Club. Tom Puchalsky can always be counted on for wonderful piano accompainrrient , We all feel that our school is a happier and more enjoy- able place because of music in our lives. We all owe a debt of thanks to Miss Chase and the co-operative spirit of the members of the Glee Club, On February 15, 1952, the Senior Class presented a delight- ful play entitled “A Mind of Her Own, ' The house was packed; the programs were artistic; the scenery was particularly clever, being the setting of a lodge at the shore. All of the characters of the play were individualistic, Vi ' e shall all remember Audrey Carter in her blaze role. Jack Cranston cut a mean rug in his dance routine. Adrienne Puchalsky played the roll of a harassed weekend guest very well. Peggy Sawtell, the girl v ith the mind of her own, had her troubles in pleasing all her suitors, Norman Cilley and Stanley Kasputis, to be exact. The play was a great success financially as well as theatri- cally. The fund for the Senior Class Trip was greatly aided by the receipts from the play, Delicious homemade fudge was served in the intermissions. The Juniors did a very fine job in ushering. Special thanks must be given to Robert Reidy and Thomas Puchalsky v;ho entertained during intermission. Miss Lavery v as very helpful in her v ork on the scenery, and of course, Mr, Flynn is the man who really put the show on the road.

Many members of the alumni came to once again visit the hall where they had previously enjoyed putting on the Christmas entertainment v hen they were Seniors at Barre High School , Joseph Martone and his orchestra provided the dance music, and refreshments were served. Everyone v as humming such songs as Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer , Santa Claus is Coming to Town , Frosty the Snowman , and I’m Dreaming of a White Christ- mas o Everyone had an enjoyable evening and we hope that the Class of 52, soon to be alumni of B,H,S,, will form a large part of the gathering at next year’s Christmas Social, The interest manifested in prize speaking this year was particularly spirited. Approximately 10 per cent of the school appeared on the scene for the try outs. All of the students did particularly well, but the eight candidates for the finals deserve every form of laurel. These eight contestants were as follows: VJajne Cauvin, Bradley Beckwith, Ralph Lincoln, Leroy Dawson, Jr,, Peggy Sawtell, Audrey Gawthrop, Patricia Sinclair, Mary Ann Molino Lenny Dawson did an excellent job in reciting Charles Dicken’s THE MADMAN to take top honors for the boys, Patricia Sinclair won first place for the girls with the piece WHAT A GHOST THraKS ABOUT. All of the faculty members found themselves with busy schedules coaching tv o and three members of the prize speaking group. However, everyone benefits from such a contest. We hope that there v 111 be as much interest in prize speaking next year as there was this year. The W ' omen’s Club of Earre, the judges from Petersham, and the splendid audience should be thanked for their generosity and interest in the annual oratorical contest. V hen you ' re up you ' re up, when you ' re dov n you ' re down ViiTien you ' re up against Barre, you ' re upside down. Those little bombshells in maroon and grey are always an inspiration to all Barre High School rooters at any game we may attend. Yes, we owe a cheer to Peggy Sawtell, Bernice Mennard, Nadine Stewart, Norma Tolman, Margaret Scott, Carol Stevenson, and Joanne Janulevicus, The cheerleaders also did a wonderful job waitress ing for the excellent Basketball banquet held in March. The cheerleaders in turn owe a debt of thanks to the Student Council who have voted them new costumes for the past two years . The cheerleaders are always a colorful addition to every sports function, V e know that next year ' s cheerleaders will have to do some vigorous excercising in order to favorably compare with this year ' s group. SCRIPTU Every other Friday our lives have been brightened at B.H.S, by the appearance of the Scriptus, our school newspaper. This year the paper was particularly good because it was headed by such talented and enthusiastic leaders as Adrienne Puchalsky, its editor, and Kenny Izzi, its art director. The staff was selected this year by last year ' s staff. This was a particularly satisfactory way of doing things for then it was easy to know who had actually helped in making the past issues so successful. One of the outstanding features of the Scriptus is the fact that despite the fact that the price of almost any conmiodity on the market has gone up, the Scriptus still only costs Great thanks must be given to Miss Paparella and the Junior and Senior typing classes who did so much work on the Scriptus and who met every deadline, no matter hov; many jobs they had on for that particular day. All students who helped in producing such a wonderful re- cord have actually benefited a great deal from their experiences. Book reviewers have increased their reading speed and compre- hension; students have learned to constructively criticize m.ovies which they have seen; reporters have learned that it pays to keep your eyes and ears open, to be alert and interested in all things. The Barre High School basketball team enjoyed a very successful 1951-52 campaign The maroon and white boasted a record of 14 victories and 4 setbacks, one of the finest ever compiled by two Barre teams, A disheartening one point overtime loss to Brookfield in the Tri-State Tournament finished the season on a dis- couraging note. However, Barre gave their fans plenty to cheer about by walloping Thayer for their third consecutive King Philips championship. Also included in their string of victories was a decision over a potent Sacred Heart of ’Worcester quintet and a pair of wins over Petersham, who later went on to prove their strength by annexing the Tri- State Tournament championship. This Barre High quintet, despite its tournament loss, proved that they were one of the finest ever to wear the colors of the maroon and white.

The girls v ere defeated in this game to make the totals 11 wins and 5 losses. The first game of the season was played v ith North Brook- field High on the latters floor. This game ended with a vic- tory for Barre. Perhaps the most exciting game of the season was when Barre played Hardwick at Petersham for a play-off the cham- pionship and the King Philips league in our Division. The spectators and Barre proudly walked off the floor with a 29-28 victory. The girls then got a chance at the King Philips trophy. They played Power s Institute, the champions of the Northern Division, at Turner s Falls on February 23. i lthough the girls were defeated in this game, they played a wonderful game and showed real team spirit, which makes a team a good team whether they win or lose. Many girls went out for Basketball and Miss Paparella had a hard job picking the twelve best girls for her team. The girls chosen were: Elaine Miller and Adrienne Puchalsky, co- captains, Nancy V ells, Peggy Roberts, Pauline Puchalsky, Mary Ann Molino, Audrey Sample, Stella Kowza, Janet Mil ler, Sylvia Persechino, Sylvia Dahart, and Margaret Dixson, The girls basketball team would like to thank Miss Paparella for her wonderful coaching. Also, the girls owe a debt of thanks to the cheerleaders and to the Scriptus for the wonderful job they did in writing up the reviews of the game. Bernice Mennard has been a wonderful Sport s columnist. I guess it runs in the family or something, eh Bernie???? Special congratulations are in order to Nancy Wells who was high scorer this year. The honors she received at the annual basketball banquet are only a small part of the gratitude both players and rooters feel tov ard her. ,A Home Run,,.Yea” ”Batter up .Let’s G-oll Coach Scanlon is very busy these days training our wonderful baseball team which has a busy schedule this year. The schedule includes two games with each of the following teams: V inchendon, Orange, Sacred Heart, Warren, Hai dv;ick, and New Salem. V e know that in our team this year we shall find our own, Ted Williams and Johnny Pesky. How could we miss. Root, root, root for the home team. If they don’t win it’s a shame. It really is. So, boys, we’re really rooting for you all the way. It just wouldn’t be spring in America or anyplace without teams similar to Barre out there on the diamond slugging hard for home runs, health and sportsmanship.

LIr. Baker, our new class advisor, soon had us organized and on our way to class elections. The officers elected to head our class were, Joseph Einowski, president, Margaret Roberts, vice-president, Joseph Livolsi, treasurer, and Betty Ann Better, secretary, When the magazine drive rolled around we were bound and determined not to do exercises again so we v ere even thankful to find ourselves putting on the entertainment. Then came our assembly which fell during the Christmas season, v hich led to the Rudolph noses that the boys had so much fun with. The Junior Class really flaunted their ability when they held the Junior Supper v hich proved to be our greatest money maker of the year. We are proud of our basketball ace Dave Puchalsky who was chosen captain elect for next year. We also have high hopes for J oe Livolsi, The Juniors were proud to cheer on Nancy, Peggy, and Mary Ann v ho made such a fine showing on the basketball floor this year. The long awaited night finally came when v e put on our Junior Prom, Our theme being Cindrella Time, our orchestra Russ Cole and our original ring cermony made an atmospheric setting for our Prom, It seems that the Junior Class plays host to the entire school on the happy occasion of the Junior Prom, We see every- body at their handsomest. Etiquette and gayety coupled with beauty and melody to produce an evening that v arms the memories of dancers and spectators alike. With our class trip and graduation our eventful Junior year drav s to a close. Once again we will ascend the steps of B.H.S. to become the mighty Seniors, V e know we have a record of high standing to attain when we are striving to equal the wonderful class of 1952, We promise, seniors, to do everything in our power to maintain the wonderful standards which you have at Gained, JUjNIORS Our Farewell To the class of nineteen-f ifty-tv o , V e take this time to bid you adieu. And joyfully hope that your place, V ill be filled by us with much grace, V e know you have a record great, That we v ill try hard to imitate. Our narks in classes will Iraprove, If we re to get into your groove. On the courts we hope we can make. As many baskets for our school s sake. Vie hope like you that fortune will us bless, Y ith a play that’ll be a howling success. This is our farewell wish at this time. From the next in line. Janet Hiller Communism As A Threat To Our Nation Communism is at the present time the greatest threat to our Nation, Our country has a G-overnraent of the people, by the people, and for the people, while in a Comunist country they have a government of the government, by the government, and for the government. In a Comunist government pe ople live and work for the State and gain little or nothing. They are afraid to speak their mind to their neighbors, because their neighbor may be a government sympathizer, and turn them over to the government police for some minor complaint. They would then probably be shipped av ay from their families, and sent to Siberia to v ork at hard labor for the rest of their lives, V ould you like, when you pray to have to pray to Stalin in- stead of God? V ould you like to work for a year raising a crop on a farm and reserve just enough of it to live on while you turned the rest over to the government? V ould you like to spend your life at hard work when you knew there could be no possible gain? No, you wouldn’t, neither v ould I. The best v ay to avoid this is to have nothing to do with it and do all you possibly can against it. If you should meet a person with Communistic learnings, try to straighten him out. If you can’t, keep away from him, don’t let him talk you into his way of thinking. For if you and others like you begin to learn, it can mean destruction for you and your country.

We greeted our teachers new and old and quickly settled down to the familiar routine of classes, homework, and more homework, At our first meeting we elected class officers for the year with Bill Gorman as president again, Polly Puchalsky-Vice Pres- ident, Joe Persechino-Treasurer, and Stella Kov za , Secretary, Del Obert visited us and set the magazine drive” into full swing. Were we surprized v hen we found out that we came in ahead of the Juniors and therefore v ould be allowed to observe” at the Ice Cream Social. We began planning our first social which was held on November I, and also our Sophomore assembly when we presented the Arthur Godfrey Show, A very successful basketball season came and went and were we proud that so many of our classmates should make the teams, Varsity-Bill Gorman, Joe Persechino, Dick Wine, Girls Varsity- Polly Puchalsky, Audrey Sample, Stella Kowza, Sylvia Dahart, J, V, Jerry Tuttle, Joe Celona, Richard Parkinson, and Dick Gariepy. Congradulations were in order for Audrey Gawthrop who won 4th prize in prize -speaking, and V ayne Cawvin v ho won 4th, Junior Prom timell We began wondering if v e would ever be upper classmen. Junior Prom is always such an exciting time, Nadine Stewart v as running around like Gindrella looking for her slipper. As chairman of decorations using the Gindrella story as a theme, a romantic evening was planned by Nadine’s committee. President Joe Binov ski aided in procuring the orchestra and in bringing about many of the little things that go to make our traditional Junior Prom as exciting and enjoyable as it always is for us Sophomores. All of the members of the Sophomore class would like to thank LIrs. Upham for being such a wonderful homeroom Ma Ma” to us all. It’s been fun being Iq. room (1) this year of 1951-1952. Thanks to you, Mrs. Upham, Graduation came for the Seniors and here we are Juniors at last Graduation C:) To The Class of 1952 OPHOjVJORE ’rVhen you come to the end of the four long years. That you’ve spent in this dear old place. Don ' t think that your smiles won ' t mingle with tears As your memories backward trace. Not just the lessons in the book or how the rivers flow But how to choose the proper path, wherever you may go To understand eternal truth, and know the right from wrong And gather all the beauty of a flovjer and a song. As so far you, we ask God ' s guidance That you may do your part. For character and confidence, and happiness of heart, Mary V ard Tis the day of graduation You have waited for so long Thro ' the years it seemed so distant , Now you hail it with a song. There ' s an overtone of sadness In the joy you feel today. For you all will part tomorrow. And each one will go his way, VJhen again with friendly handclasp, V hen again with greeting smile VJhen again you ' ll live past hours, and old songs the hours beguile, V hen again you greet past comrades. Hear their voices, grasp their hands. Then you ' ll know that this reu nion. Answers but the hearts demands. Ann Rotondo Television In Our Modern Homes Television first cane into this world on September 11, 19B8. ■ t first it was not oooular. Television became popular in 19l;7. Many ' eople began to buy television. Today almost everyone has a television set in their home , Hy having television there has been a great deal accomplished, T’or instance now one can sit home and watch television, instead of going to a movie. Television has made people stay at home more than usual. Also it is a very good thing because there are programs on television that really teach people things they never knew before. Television is a wonderful thing, it gets families together more often, because if there is a good program many of your friends and relatives come, over to see you and they can also learn something from watching television. Television has its bad qualities as well as good. Television has interfered with school children ' s studing. Children would rather watch television than do their home work, and of course home x ;ork is very important to every school student. There are programs that are not very interesting and they don ' t teach you anything. If people watch television, when foolish things are on, they will be wasting their time instead of doing something that is useful. Today they are trying to improve television by making colored television. Men are trying to make the person who is sitting in the living room actually smell the odors of some advertisement, I hope that the class of ' 5? will always remember this year as a time when something great has been accomplished in the world.
