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. Our advice is to save all possible money. You can spend more money in New York than in any place v e know of. Be sure to bring your cameras along so that you can really have lasting memories of the many beautiful sights you will see.

EDJTQRJALS I thank you Barre High School for being to me a leader, a helper, and a guardian of my interests and well being. 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.
