Mary Arm Mo lino Class Attorney EDTonJALS As we of the graduating class of 1953 prepare to join the ranhs of al- umni of Barre High School, we realize that graduation is the day that we have been waiting for, for twelve years. Yet, as we approach that day, v;e have a feeling of sadness to realize that our carefree high school days will be over, but more than t.iat, we also approach graduation with a feeling of uncertainty ’«V« ther we go on to more schooling or rxght into work, we wonder what the future holds for us. Y e take our first steps into the world hearing about things such as communism. Hydrogen bombs and new jet planes. How can we find security in a world that is at war with itself? The ansv er is simple to preach but very difficult to practice. First, what is security? One dictionary de- fines it as the freedom from fear or doubt. In other words, security is con- fidence in our ancesters who left their own lands and homes for a search for freedom. They did not know what they would find, but they started out with the assurance that they were right. Our soldiers, fighting in Korea, have the same assurance. They realize that the America, the democracy that our an- cestors established for us hundreds of years ago must be protected and not destroyed . We can not all join the service. Hov;ever, we can all share a part in helping to make the land, one of peace. Empires like Hitler’s have been built up by greed and by the laziness of individual citzens. By doing our jobs in life to the best of our ability, whatever they are and by being honest and kind in all our dealings through life v e will not have to worry about insecurity. Our country is one of v hioh we should be proud. It is great because our ancestors, yours and line, have made it great. Are we going to let them down? Everything we do in life will have a strong bearing on our attitude. Examine your own attitude close- ly. Is it a healthy one? Do you have an attitude which will enable you to accomplish the things you strive for in life? Just v;hat is attitude anyway? V ell, it has a lot to do v;ith your disposition and manner. Do you feel that you can get along with p eople and deal v ith the public? If you don’t, it’s about time you tried to develops these faculties a little more. First impressions have a lot to do with your getting that job you want in life. Do you feel that your disposition and mannerisms would pass this test? If you don’t, get busy and do something about them before they ruin your life. Don’t give the excuse that, ”It’s too late now,” It’s never too late if you have a will and enough spunk to change. However, if you can analyze your- self and truthfully say, I have a healthy attitude,” you needn’t worry about changing, because that’s all it takes plus a little ambition to be a success , Brovming once said, A man’s reach should exceed his grasp Or v hat’s a Heaven for? So too if we are striving in the right direction, all by-products of our effort v;ill be good in themselves. If we should never attain the exact goal we set out for, the very fact v e have constantly worked for the good cause will raise our standing to the eyes of our acquaintances, our God and ourselves. Joan Damon Margaret Roberts In old New York, In old New York, this was the song that was on our lips and in our minds when we boarded Stewart ' s Bus at six o’clock in the morning on Monday, April 20. In a short time we found ourselves in Springfield at the train station and at 8 ; 30 we were really off on the trip for which vre had waited four, long years. It didn ' t take us long to get to New York and then we were on our way to Baltimore. After a brief tour of the city we left for Washington, where we stayed until the following Wednesday, when we left for New York. What a night, that first one in Washingtonl The Capital was all lit up and all around it we could see the famous monuments about which we had read so m)ich. The White House- -the Lincoln Memorlal--the Library of Congress — these and all of the others J It was very hard to get to sleep that night. On Tuesday, after our night’s rest (Ha) we were off on a tour of the rest of the city.-- Mount Vernon--the Lee Manslon--Arlington National Cemetery--the impressive Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier--the Capital building-- the Smlthonian Institute, all these and many others will e etcher in our memories forever. Came Wednesday morning and the V ashington Monument, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and lunch. Then xve said farewell to V ashington and started off, at long last, for New York where v;e stayed at the Taft Hotel until we left for home on Friday. Wednesday night v;e saw a thrilling show at Radio City Music Hall. Thursday, we saw the Statue of Liberty, the RCA Building, the NBC Studios, and to top off one of the most exciting and busiest days of our lives, Thursday nlg t v;e went to see the stage hit The King and I , for many of us the first stage play we had ever seen. Friday morning vre took our last tour of the city and ended up at the Railroad Station, homev;ard bound. We reached Barre that night totally worn out and absolutely broke and, whether we admitted it or not, rather glad to be home. The members of our class will never forget our wonderful trip and we would like to say thanks to the people who made it possible. First and foremost, our parents--without them we could never have gone .--Mr. Dawson and Mr. Flynn--they were the ones v;ho planned the trip„-All the merchants and people in the tovm vho vrere so generous in supporting the various class functions vre put on to earn money for the trip. To our chaperone s- -Mr . Dupuis and Miss Corcoran, we say you were wonderful to jout up with us, V e vreuld like to go on record as saying that we are sure that all of the future classes that will be going on this trip will have a wonde: ' ful time. To the underclassmen we have only one piece of advice, Save your money and bring your cameras. V lth this we close the story of the Senior Class Trip of 1953. r ' )rT Cr OrlCr) JUNIORS BOYS GIxRLS Most Likely to Succeed Joseph Persechlno Pauline Sidotl Most Nonchalant James Scott Louise Tancredi Best Dressed Richard Wine Joanne Janulevlcus Best Looking Richard Wine Carol Stevenson Best Dancer Richard Parkinson Anne Rotondo Most Popular William Gorman Polly Puchalsky Most Diplomatic William Gorman Carol Stevenson Best Driver Richard ' wine Audrey Gawthrop Most Sophisticated Richard Wine Joanne Janulevlcus Most Witty James Scott Louise Tancredi Most Q,uiet Clark Bordeaux Sylvia Cornacchia Best Disposition Joseph Celona S lvia Cornacchia Best Athlete Yi illiam Gorman Polly Puchalsky Most Versatile V i 111am Gorman Polly Puchalsky Most Active William Gorman Polly Puchalsky Most Studious Joseph Persechlno Pauline Sidotl Best Companion Joseph Celona Polly Puchalsky Most Prompt William Gorman Pauline Sidoti Best Worker Joseph Persechlno Pauline Sidoti Best Actor James Scott Jeanne McAndrew SOPHOMORES BOYS GIRLS Most Likely to Succeed Tommy Puchalsky Mary Gorman Most Nonchalant Warren Panaccoine Priscilla Keyes Best Dressed Richard Y hipple Mary Gorman Best Looking Glldo Rotondo Beverly Sheldon Best Dancer Lenny Martone Mary Gorman Most Popular Tommy Puchalsky Carol White Most Diplomatic Tommy Puchalsky Carol White Best Driver Lenny Martone Carol V hlte Most Sophisticated Glldo Rotondo Mary Gorman Most VYitty Joseph Pante Priscilla Heyes Most vc uiet Joseph Pltlscl Suzanne O’Connor Best Disposition Tommy Puchalsky Carol WTaite Best Athlete Glldo Rotondo Vivian Andrukonls Most Versatile Tommy Puchalsky Mary Gorman Most Active Tommy Puchalsky Mary Gorman Most Studious Tommy Puchalsky Suzanne O ' Connor Best Companion Tommy Puchalsky Carol White Most Prompt Tommy Puchalsky Beverly Sheldon Best Worker Tommy Puchalsky Mary Gorman Best Actor Stanley Mathews Avllne Anderson jVlOSl AMD BES TS PRESHJv EN BOYS GIRLS Most Likely to Succeed Douglas Bryant Jennie Celona Most Nonchalant Marvin Fuller Frances Lamacchl Best Dressed Douglas Bryant Janet DlFonzo Best Looking Charles Potter Shirley Scott Best Dancer Douglas Bryant Janet DlFonzo Most Popular Douglas Bryant Janet DlFonzo Most Diplomatic Bill Robinson Jennie Celona Best Driver Albert Keddy Janet DlFonzo Most Sophisticated Douglas Bryant Betty Lou Gareu Most Viil tty Herbert Bacon Jennie Celona Most ulet Roger Hall Lorraine Bushway Best Disposition Douglas Bryant Janet DlP ' onzo Best Athlete Douglas Bryant Janet DlFonzo Most Versatile William Robinson Anna Celona Most Active William Robinson Janet DlFonzo Most Studious Douglas Bryant Jane Murphy Best Companion John Scott Janet DlFonzo Most Prompt Roger Varnot Jennie Celona Best Worker ' William Robinson Shirley Scott Best Actor John Scott Janet DlFonzo TEACHERS Best Storyteller Mr. Dawson Best Cook (Birthday cakes) Miss Handakas Most Handsome Mr, Gosselln Most Distinguished-looking Mr. Flynn Most Mr. Dupuis Most Reserved Mrs .

V e soon became well-acquainted with all the new faculty members; Mrs� Crowson, Miss Handakas, Miss Keohen, Mr. Gosselin, lir. Dupuis, and our superintendent, Mr. Peterson. First of all came the magazine drive and we fortunate juniors were once more allowed to sit and observe. Basketball season began presently and many juniors could be seen representing their Alma Mater, either on the basketball teams or on the cheering squad. January and February saw the success of our two food sales and our spaghetti supper. All three certainly helped to increase the amount of money in our treasury Honor came to the junior class when Pauline Sidoti and Vi ' ayne Cauvin received the top awards in the annual prize- speaking contest. Finally, our long awaited assembly was presented and it was met by much approval, especially the boys rendition of High Noon”. The junior girls chorus gained much recogni - tion throughout the year, appearing at many of the school and town social presentations. Bill, Francis, Carol and Pauline became disc-jockeys for a day when they appeared on station ’i , A. R. E s Top Ten Tunes . After much planning and hardwork, strains of the melody Moonlight and Roses brought us to the climax of our junior year. Gaiety, melody, and beauty united to make this a romantic and unforgettable eveninf . Along with our lovely theme, the beautiful music of Russ Cole, the presentation of school rings, and our highly-origlnal favors, our junior prom was made a most memorable occasion. Soon graduation time drew near, so bidding farewell and wishing the best of luck to the class of we descended the steps of B. H. S. only to return in the near future as sophisticated seniors. JUjNIORS WHAT AWAITS AND SURROUNDS YOU BY PAULINE PUCHALSKY What awaits and surrounds you. In this troubled world of today? Vvill the future bring you sadness. Or will happiness light your way? Lying before you is the threat of war. Of communism, and strife. Can you surmount these obstacles. And live a calm and peaceful life? Your life is what you alone make it. Take caution, in all that you may do. By prayer and faith. Prepare yourself For whatever awaits and surrounds you, WHAT AWAITS AND SURROUNDS YOU Here in the month of April, just two months away from go- ing into the world as men and Vi omen, you seniors must be able to suffer pain in becoming the leaders of the next generation. Beginning last month, a big crime wave settled over every part of the United States. It seems that the people are be- coming cannibals. They think nothing of murdering their own neighbors in cold blood for a few dollars. Led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the nations leading policemen and other groups, this crime wave is being tended to. However a greater handicap which threatens the whole world is the threat of Communism, The Soviet Union of Russia is slowly gathering all the surrounding countries under its leadership.. The people of these countries are starved, and when someone donates food to their cause they ' ll do anything. The Russians are usually the first ones there. The Inventions of the Hydrogen and Atomic bombs may load this world to complete destruction. Both the United States and Russia know that an Atomic bomb war v ould corrupt the universe. It is for this reason that we are not engaged in a third world war. These things which I have mentioned will have a definite effect on every member of the graduating class. The boys will soon be required to join the Armed Forces and many girls will also follow as nurses, waves and wacs. So now, v;hile there is time you should all pray to God, Tell him you ' re thankful for all he has done, and pray for everlasting peace.

Proud and sophisticated-wise to the ways of Barre Hlgh-at our first class meeting we elected Thomas Puchalsky as president, once again, with Bill McNaney as vice-president, Vivian Androkonls as treasure and Beverly Sheldon as secretary. At the school ' s first assembly we eargerly joined in giv- ing the frosh,” a hearty welcome. It certainly was a familiar sound to our ears- just one year ago . The first event of the year was our halloween social. Everyone willingly pitched in with a helping hand and we Sophs were pleased it turned out to be such a success. With basketball season in full swing we were proud to have Gildo Rotondo, and Joe Pante, on the Varsity, with Dick Whlppee and Joe Panaccione on the Jr, Varsity. The girls representing our class were Vivian Androkonls and Carol V hlte, Jenny Kowza was also chosen for one of the school ' s ceer leaders. Christmas season soon followed with the Seniors annual social. A great number of the student body attended and en- joyed all tremendously. Even more enjoyable was the week of our vacation when Jolly Saint Nick visited our town of Barre. Prize speaking which is another of Barre High ' s activities rolled around in March. Helen Flynn, the candidate from the Sophomore Class did such a wonderful job, she was awarded third prize. It certainly has been great fun being Sophomores, but we ' re all anxiously awaiting our try at room VI, when we will have the opportunity of putting on the prom and being recognized for the first time as upper classmeni THOUGirrS -AT GiiADUiiTION TII EE Our glorious graduation, our day of days, Hesitantly leaving, yet our way to blaze. How unsettled our er.iotions in days like these. Yet someday a job well done will once more re- store our ease. With heads held high, so proud No backward glance are v;e allowed For we must venture forth unafraid. To prove to all hov we’ve v ell been made. To Teachers all, we’ll prove their pride, Traveling alone, yet in heart, side by side. To Parents all, we will suceed without delay, For it was they and they alone who proved the way. ’’THOUGHTS -AT GRhDUj TIOLI TIM3” Now that v;e are once again approaching the season of Graduation, we think back over past years when we have v.’atched other classes take this most important step. Vie regarded them v ith mixed emotions, sadness at seeing them leave, happiness for what they had accomplished, and envy for their rightfully won independence. As time slipped by and each of us picked up again with our same work a-day- world, they were thought of almost indifferently, although their will always remain many cherised friendships. Now it is a different story. We hold the spotlight and everyone’s attention is focused on us, from the most insig- nificant Freshmen to our teachers and principal. This is a very special day and some of us, I imagine, are not any too glum about leaving. Others may be anxious to meet the world, yet hesitano to leave old friends and ac- quaintances. Still others maybe, as yet, totally undecided about their futures and, therefore, v;ould enjoy the haven that a small town high school furnishes. Every one of us knows, if we use our logic, that we can pretty v ell judge what a mark we will make in our future professions by the mark we have made in high school. You might sa;r, high school is more or less a testing ground for future flights. I’m sure we all realize that good wishes follow us where- ever v e may go, from our under-classmen, teachers, parents, friends, and whomever we may have come in contact with during these four years.

On September 9 , 1952 forty-five • ' smiling faces greeted our new home room teacher, Mr, Dupuis, The boys were ducked in fine fashion. We somehow managed to stumble through that first day and when the last bell rang for dismissal we all knew we would enjoy our stay at B,H,S. The first assembly found us scared but we were encouraged by the rousing reception we received by the upperclassmen. The magazine drive resulted in us doing exercises at the back of the hall, while the Seniors ate the ice cream. We are proud of Janet DiFonzo who represented us on the girls team. We are also proud of Douglas Bryant, S ammy Sidoti, Herbie Bacon, Brad Gromelski, Ronald Pitisci, Anthony Falco, Carl Molino and Billy Tuttle who played for the J.V, team. After a few months at school, we became well enough acquainted to choose class officers. The results were; William Robinson, President; Leo Klem, Vice President; Joyce Sirois, Treasurer; and Shirley Scott, Secretary. February found us watching the Senior Play, Clementime , and wondering if we would ever be the actors instead of the spectators. The Freshmen wish to congratulate the Seniors and wish them the best of luck in the future. We know that we have much to look forward to before donning cap and gown. Wo have to win a magazine drive, dance at the Junior Prom, travel to New York and Washington, send our representative to Boston on Good Government Day, perform in throe assemblies and become as sophisticated and debonair as the seniors of 53. Before leaving Room 2 we want to thank Mr, Dupuis for his patience and interests. His keen sense of humor and happy smile have made our years go by more quickly and more pleasantly. ’’NOW THAT YOU’VE FINISHED” BY DOUG BRYANT Now that your days at Barre High Have ended, and you must say good-by; Think back over those four exciting years. When first you laughed, and then shed tears Remember v hen you were a freshman at first, Glov ing with pride through the doorway you burst. You thought that the school you v ould soon overtake. But found upperclassmen there in your wake. As sophomores you advanced a little more. And thought of the years for you in store; Next year as juniors you would almost be there. And thinking of college for which you’d prepare. The third year, and thoughts of the prom v ere bright You all made ready for that wonderful night. By the end of the year you stopped fooling around. And stood, your feet more firmly in the ground. Your senior year had come at last. Though now you say it came too fast. You thought of the many gocd times that you had. Now leaving the school, you are not so glad THOUGHTS OF A FRESHMAN In the short time that I have been here I have learned a lot from you. Seniors, Since that first day when I was scared and frightened, you were calm and confident. You made an impression that stuck. Sure you like to have fun too; we all do, or we aren’ t human, I can remember the day after our graduation from Grammar School, vre came up to look around and later Mr. Smith found several of us locked up in the closets Someone happened to pass while we were examining them, A Senior to me is someone to idolize, to look up to, someone that’s been here a little longer and knows much more than he pretends to know, someone who v orks hard to finish that Algebra assignment before the next class, always ready and prompt for unexpected tests, alv ays prepared for classes, someone who has learned that it’s worth staying home that Friday night to finish the lesson, to get all the knowledge you can and to make up your mind to make something out of yourself, someone v ho doesn’t let the other one do all the work and carry all the burdens, but pitches in to help and lessen the burden. That’s the impression I received of our Seniors after my Freshman year here SHIRLEY SCOTT BAfiRETONE The Barretone staff has at last finished and assembled the 1953 issue, V e hope that this Barretone will be an example for future issues. V.’e hope that we have captured memories in this book that will be here for you to look at in the years to come. This year ' s staff would like to express its thanks to Miss Corcoran, who has done so much work on this book. We v;ish her happiness in her future years of married life. The Senior class wishes to thank all of the contributors who make it possible to put out this book each year, also, anyone who helped in any v ay ivlth the v;ork on this yearns Barretone , ST iBP Editor Joan Damon Assistant Editor,, Business Manager Sylvia Perse chino Advisor Miss Corcoran Margeine DlLibero Joseph Cappello Janice Mann Mary Ann Molino Joseph LiVolsi Hazel Waterman Stella Kowza Ruby Morris Rose Ricchaizzl Audrey Sample Bernice Mennard Margaret Roberts Joyce Miller Joseph Persechlno Betty Ann Betters Janet Miller Lorraine Lara Margaret Scott Louise Tancredl Nancy Wells Francis Converse OCIAL Following the usual tradition, the Senior Class managed to win the Magazine Drive again this year by overwhelming odds and had the honor of sitting on the stage in the Assembly Hall and eating ice cream which was served to them by the teachers. While the faculty vjas serving and also entertaining the worthy Seniors, the Freshmen were adding their bit to the festivities by doing excercises in the rear of the hall the Sophomores were putting on various entertainments, and the Juniors , observing all of the activities, made their presence felt. This year the school broke all previous records by selling over thirty-five hundred dollars worth of magazines. This great financial success enabled the school to enjoy many things that it othervjise might have been unable to have. This was the first victory of the year for the Seniors and it just seemed to be a forecast of all the good things to come. Next fall we will be wondering vxho is winning the drive and if the winners will enjoy their ice cream just as much as the Class of ' 53 this year. Again it was that genial man Del Obert, who started us off on the road to success. To him and to all of the many sub- scribers should go a round of resoixnding thanks from all the students. Without them we could never make a success of our campaign. February 20, 1953 this is a day the Seniors will al- ways remember, for on tnat day e presented Clementine, a comedy in tnree acts. The scene the Mayor ' s home in Hooter- vllle, the characters an normal everday people, the audience the house was packed and the people very enthusiastic. Roberts played Clementine, and suprlsed us an with her version of the teen-age tomboy, Will we ever forget Jimmy Rice as Abe, the family handyman? He scored the hit or the piay i-Jhen he started to pull out a bag of candy and instead pulled out the piaybooki Hickey Kowai, who played SKlnny, a teen-age who was something of a sissy, and Betty Ann Better who played a good-natured gossipy teen-age girl, both won laurels for their parts. Everyone else in the cast also did a fine job. Our business manager vjas Sylvia Persechino and under her able leadership the ads in our playbook put a big boost in our Senior Trip Fund, Again this year, Mr, Flynn was our director, but v;hen he was quarantined because of illness in the family, Mr, Dupuis stepped in and carried us on to success. To both of these men must go many thanks for all the work and time they put in on the play. Another vote of thanks must go to Miss Chase and the Junior Girls who sang to Miss Chase ' s accompnlment during the intermission. These same girls also did a fine job of ushering for the play. Peggy Roberts Joan Damon Betty Ann Better Nadine Stewart CAST Nancy Wells Peggy Scott Mary Ann Mo 11 no James Rice Joseph Binowski David Puchalsky Mickey Eowal John Flynn D£ Al- JMG This spring found a great ceal of interest in the annual prize speaking contest. There v;ere no preliminaries this year, so on the night of March 27, six girls and three boys met in the Assembly Hall, before a large audience to compete for the three boys and three girls prizes that were offered. The candidai;es v ere : Sylvia Cornacchia, ITadine Stewart, Polly Sidoti, Helen Flynn, Jennie Gelona, Anna Celona, VJayne Cauvin, Joseph Perse chino, and Jimmy Scott, The pieces vjere all particularly spirited and the judges had a hard time picking the winners. This year the first place in both the boys ' and the girls ' fields went to Juniors, Wayne Cauvin won top honors for the boys v;ith his piece, The Marine on V ake Island, Polly Sidoti received the top award for the girls with a piece entitled, Ma At the P,T,A, Joseph Persechino and Nadine Stewart finished in s econd place and Helen Ann Flynn and Jimmy Scott came in third. Almost all of the teachers found themselves busy coach- ing one or more of the contestants. However, we all feel that everyone benifits from such a contest and vie would like to say thanks to the teachers for all of their help. We would also like to say thanks to the Barre V omens ' Club for sponsoo?- ing the contest, A lot of interest from the students, the faculty, and the townspeople has been shown in t he annual speaking contest and we hope it v;lll always be so. Three cheers for Parre Rahi Rahl Rahl At all of the games during the past season, seven pretty and vivacious girls have led the Barre fans in the school songs and cheers. Captain Nadine Stev art and the rest of her girls, Margaret Scott, Carol Stevenson, Joanne Janulevlcus, Jsuiina Kowza, Bernice Mennard, and Jean HcAndrew, put in a lot of time learning the cheers and some pretty snappy routines to go with them. This year the cheerleaders were guests at the Basketball Banquet along vrlth the Girls’ and the Boys’ Teams, For their uniforms the girls vjore white cotton blouses with three- quarter length sleeves, maroon skirts, white sneakers, and ankle socks, and little maroon bow ties. To complete their outfits, the girls carried megaphones with their names on them. ' This year’s group of cheerleaders created a favorable impression wherever they went, V e all feel sure that next year’s cheerleaders will have to go some to beat this group. CHRISTjVJA PLAY This year as Christmas drew near, pine boughs could be smelled through the high school,, and carols could be heard echoing through the halls. -i-t was time for the Christmas Social, when the class of ' 53 would be hosts to all of the Barre High Alumni, This year we put on the play Christmas is a Racket, In the play were Joseph LiVolsi as Mr, Host; Margeine DlLlbero as Mrs, Host; Sylvia Persechino as Ann; Lorraine Lam as Barbara; John Flynn as Mr. Guest; and Joan Damon as Mrs. Guest. We also had tho rest of the class as carolers, Jim Rice was our unforgetable Santa Claus, Nadine Stewart, who had charge of the decoration committee, played a big part in making the social a success. It was an affair that will long remain in our memories. Next year we vjill be the guests, and the class of � 5 the hosts . This year we have once again been very fortunate in having Kiss Chase here in Barre all of the time. Under her leadership, the Glee Club has prospered and that period has become an enjoyable time for all. The Glee Club was composed this year entirely of girls from all four classes. The group sang at the Music Festival which was held in Turners Falls on May 16, The girls were a credit to the school and we should all be proud of them. There were two other branches of this group, the Freshmen Boys Choir, and the Junior Girls’ Choir, Both of these groups entertained the school on various occasions end the girls sang at other places such as the Women’s Club and the Senior Play, Both groups entertained at the Basketball Banquet, All three groups were very lucky to get Tommy Puchalsky to play for them. All three groups have done their part to help out the different assemblies that have been put on by the school. We would like to say thanks to Miss Chase and Tommy Puchalsky for all of the work they have done with the various groups. We all feel that our school has benefited greatly because of them. SCRIPTUS ’’Scriptus out today that is the sign that goes on the blackboards every two or three weeks. Under the guidance of Hiss Corcoran, our Faculty Advisor, Mary Ann Molino, the editor, and Mrs. Crowson, the person in charge of getting it out, our school paper has gone along snlendidly this year. As in other years, this year’s staff was nicked by the peonle who were in charge of the naner last year. Stella Kowza, who was picked to replace Ken Izzi as the art editor, has done a wonderful job on the covers and the Roamer which are two of the reasons for the popularity of the paper. Some other reasons for the success of the paper are the girls in the Commercial Denartraent, headed by Mrs. Crowson. To them must go a vote of thanks, for they have always had the paper ready when it was supposed to be and they have always done a neat job of it. All those who reported the news learned to remember people, places, things and have benefited greatly from this exnerience. Those who did reviews of both movies and books now look for the best in these fields. Anyone who had anything at all published in the paper has benefited a great deal for the fact that one product of theirs was published may have made them try to write more . The Scriptus is truly a school paper. The price is still the same, only a nickel, but most of all it carries the things that we are all interested in. It bars nobody from the staff and even if you aren’t on that everyone is free to contribute material at any time . The basketball team finished one of its greatest seasons by obtaining a record of fourteen victories and five defeats. Members of the squad were Captain David Fuchalsky, Bill Gorman, Gerry Tuttle, Dick Vvine, Joseph LeVolsi, Gildo Rotondo, John Pljmn, Bruce Bryant, Joseph Celona, Dick Parkinson, Dick Gariepy, and Joseph Fante. After opening their season with a one point setback at the hands of North Brookfield, the players led by Captain Fuchalsky, Bill Gorman and LiVolsi won over Rutland and Templeton twice, however they met a stunning defeat at the hands of an underdog Rutlaiid squad. Morally upset after this loss, the boys lost to a very fine Warren squad, a defeat they atonned for later in the year. After this pair of successive losses, the Barre team started working like a machine, winning eight consecutive games. Then cam.e the first trip to Turners F ' alls. Barre, a decided favorite, played and was upset by a weaker but more spirited Thayer team for the King Philip championship. The Tri-State Tournament followed the championship game at Turners Palls. Barre drev their neighbor Petersham as their first opponent and trounced them by an overwhelming margin. Then came Wilmington and they were beat by the Barre Hornets 49-28. The Hornets sensed the championship as they prepared for the final game v;ith Brookfield, the team that had beaten them by one point the previous year. However Barre lost their great forward Gorman through Illness and this proved a great setback. The boys went out on that floor and played a game we’ll never forget. Led by the great blond Captain Fuchalsky, who carried the team almost single handed they played their heart out only to lose a heartbreaking decision by one point for the second successive year. The tov n of Barre congratulates these athletes.

Among the exciting things was Girls Basketball. Approximate- ly 35 girls tried out for the team and as usual, Coach Grows on found it difficult to pick out the twelve best players. Those chosen were Joyce Miller, Peggy Roberts, Stella Kov za , Bette Llae Jacobson, Sylvia Dohart, Janet DiPonzo, Carol V hite, Janet Lliller, Mary Ann Molino, Polly Puchalsky, Audrey Sample and Vivian Andrukonis. The season opened December 9 , 1952 with a game against North Brookfield High School on the opponent’s home court. Barre i as quite successful in walking off the floor with a 33-30 victory. Hovrever their luck was not constant and they closed the season v ith 3 wins, 9 losses, and one tie. Perhaps the most exciting game was that against Warren High School on Barre ’s home court. It vras the last game of the season and the girls were determined to claim the victory. At the end of the first half, the visiting team vras leading by one point. At the end of the third period they were ahead by five points but the Barre girls made a v onderful come back and the game ended in a 26-26 tie. The scoring totals for the year v ere: Joyce Miller 57, Peggy Roberts 41, Stella Kowza 77, Sylvia Dahart 54, Bette Mae Jacobson 9, Janet DiFonzo 7. The girls wish to thank Miss Handakas for the wonderful supper she served them and the Templeton team after an afternoon game. The girls were served equally well v hen the return game was played in Templeton. Also, of course, to Coach Crowson the girls give their incerest thanks and hope that next year they might have an even more successful season. Although the team will be losing four girls, their most prominent players, I’m certain that next year’s team v;ill shov as much team spirit and fair play as this year’s team. Good Luck Girls I Because the yearbook goes to press at the start of the baseball season it is difficult to give a report on this year ' s diamond doings. But if you have followed the athletic teams around, you will notice that B, H, S, has always had a powerful baseball team and this year is no exception. Coach Gosselin is pleased with the team ' s spirit shown at practice and is certain his first year as coach will be successful. From last year ' s starting nine, only two players were lost through graduation. Bill Gorman and Joseph LiVosi are the team ' s pitchers, Gerry Tuttle is the third basemen, with Dick Wine at second and Joseph Persechino first. Second base is a battle between Mike Kowal, Joseph Pante, and Dick Parkinson, Joseph Celona vail patrol centerfield with Gildo Rotondo in right and Captain David Puchalsky catching. Gonnan and LiVolsi will alternate in left field. PERSONALIZED PORTRAITS and it s all done with LIGHTS!
