However, those x-jho contri- buted gained knowledge in their own particular fields, and experience which may prove invaluable in later life. This year the Scrip tus was headed by Ayline Anderson (editor-in- chief) and Mr. Walter Dupuis, an able and persevering advisor and consultant , Much credit is also due to Lucille Coppolino who gave freely of her artistic talents in drawing the excellent covers for our paper and Mary Gorman vjho proved to be a very capable Business Manager, A vote of thanks is to be given to the girls in the Commercial Department, under the guidance of MiSs, Beverly Chase, for their neat and punctual v;ork.

Wow we had at last reached one of our greatest ambitions, mainly to be knovm as a member of Barre High. As we soon discovered, our first home room teacher would be Hjt. Scanlon. V.fhen we had become acquainted we held our election of officers. Our resulting officers were deserving of their honor. President — Thomas Puchalsky, Vice President — Gildo Rotondo, Secretary Lucille Coppolino, Treasurer — Carol White. V hen the time for the magazine drive rolled around, we were introduced to Del Obert. We tried very hard to beat the upper classmen but as usual, the Freshmen ended up doing the exercises at the back of the hall. We had visions of the time when we would be up on the stage eating cookies and ice cream. After the upper- classmen had given their assemblies, it was nov; our turn to show our budding talent. Everyone anxiously av aited the day. Our production was an imitation of the famous Radio City Music Kail. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, and we felt very proud and confident. Many of our teachers, whom we had become friends with left after the first year. They were Miss Cocoran, Mr. Scanlon, Miss Paparella, Miss Mueller, Miss Lavery, and Miss Buckley. We were sorry to see them go, but we looked foreward to meeting the new teachers next year. Final Exams then came very rapidly and we experienced the chills and fears of taking them. Our first class day was a very exciting event for all of us, it gave us all a chance to say goodbye to the departing Seniors. Graduation came next and before we knew it, our first year had flown by. 1952-1953 Now we were Sophomores and we felt a little more a part of the High School. Mrs. Upham was our home room teacher this year and we also met the new teachers that were added to the faculty. There was Mrs. Ruth Crowson, Miss Mary Ann Handakas, Miss Jean Keohan, Mr. Walter Dupuis and Mr. William Gosselin. This year when the Magazine Drive opened we went up one notch to our goal of winning it. Our class officers were elected once again and we chose the following people: President Thomas Puchalskyj Vice President William McNaneyj Secretary Beverly Sheldon; Treasurer Vivian Andrukonis. Before we realized it, we were planning for our first big social event of our high school years; the Sophomore Social. It went over very well and was a social success. Our theme was one of the big night clubs in New York. Soon the basketball season was upon us and we had some very good representatives on the team; Gildo Rotondo and Joe Pante. Carol White and Vivian Andrukonis were selected for the girls ' basketball team. Although we were determined to win at Turners Falls this year, fate was against us and we lost another heartbreaking tournament. It was now time for prize speaking and our class was honored when Helen Ann Flynn won third prize for the girls. The Juniors put on their prom; next year it would be out turn. All that was left of another year v;as class day, final exams, graduation and the class trip. We bid farewell to tearful Seniors. 1953-195U Wow we had a room on the first floor, for we were Juniors. We were very lucky to have 1%. Gosselin for home room and we were his first ass. This year we welcomed two new teachers; Miss Beverly Chase and Mr. Albert Witt. Our class officers were; President, Thomas Puchalsky, Vice President, Lucille Coppolino, Secretary, Beverly Sheldon, Treasurer, VJilliam McWaney. Our Junior Tea this year was held at the home of Jean Allen and was a chance for all teachers and parents to get acquainted. This time we took second place in the magazine drive — may be next year we would reach the top. But our main excitement was our Junior Prom. Our theme was wishing and our song was was the first prom ever to be held in the auditorium, everyone agreed it was one of the most beautiful. The girls ' basketball team won the King Philip League Title. The boys captured third place in the Tournament, Next year we would be Seniors and we would be looked up to by the under- classmen. 199U-1955 Flynn welcomed us this year as we entered the Senior room. Class elections were held iimaediately: Thomas Puchalsky, President Joe Pitisci, Vice President; Carolyn Galvin, Treasurer; Suzanne O ' Connor, Secretary. Now this year our dreams were accomplished — we ate ice cream to our heart ' s content. Jean Dahart was chairman of our Bazaar which was held on the common; it was a huge success. We held another tea, many more food sales and card parties. This was all to fulfill one ambition — to reach Washington and New York. Christmas time came quickly and we decorated the hall for the Alumni Social. Soon it was time for the annual Senior Play, which was one of the biggest events of our Senior year. Our production this year was entitled The Little Dog Laughed which was directed by Ilr. Paul Flynn. When it was time for basketball season we had more boys on the varsity team than other years. There were Gildo Rotondo, Joseph Pante, Stanley Matthews, Dick Whippee and Warren Panaccione. We claimed third prize again this year. On April 18, we began our long awaited trip to Washington and New York. We will never forget all the fun we had, and the wonderful chaperones. After our return, preparations for class day and graduations began. Soon we were in the whirl of final exams. Class day was next and then our graduation. There were many tears shed — some were happy tears and some were sad. We were all somewhat saddened at the thought of leaving B. H. S. Many memories were formed here which we will carry with us the rest of our lives. cn Monday, April l8, the Senior class of 55 boarded Robert s Bus for our long awaited destination. At 7:30 A. M we were on the train bound for a short stop at New York and then to Washington, After a stroll through Grand Central Station and a hurried lunch we were driven to the B 0 R,R. Station in New Jersey City, On the way to the to the station we had an interesting ferry ride across the Hudson River seeing the beautiful Statue of Liberty of which wo had heard so much. We boarded the train for Washington D,C, passing through the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delware and Maryland. At 5:l5 we finally arrived at Washington the end of our destination. We loved it at the first glance. Accomodations were made at the Stratford Hotel, and after a short time to secure lunch, we proceeded to the National Theater to see the stage play ’’The Seven Year Itch, Tuesday, o ir busiest day of sightseeing began: seeing the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where government currency and government bonds are printed followed by a lecture tour of the city seeing many foreign embassies, government buildings, statues and memorials. Then we proceeded to the Arlington National Cemetery visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which was very inspiring. The remainder of the morning was spent at the beautiful Mount Vernon followed by lunch In Alexandria at the fabulous Pen Daw Restaurant. During the afternoon we continued our tour through the United States Capitol Building, Smithsonian Institute, Mellon Art Gallery and the Prsinclscan Monastery. Evening tours were through the Congressional Library, Archives Building and the magnificently illuminated memorials of Lincoln and Jefferson. The minutes and hours visiting these historical places may be gone forever, but the memories will always remain. On Wednesday the last day of our stay in Washington we visited the Washington Monument, the tallest structure of stone and masonry in the world, the White House, the museum of Natural History and the Supreme Court Building. After a joyous and education stay we bid farewell to Washington and boarded the train for New York at 12:30. Lunch was provided on the train, and we arrived in New York City at 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday ni t. After making accommodations at the Taft Hotel we witnessed a thrilling performance at the Radio City Music Hall which f eatured the ”Rockette enjoyed this performance very much. Thursday morning we made a tour of the T.V. and Broadcasting facilities of the N B.C. studios and visited the observation roof of the RCA Building. The remainder of the day was free for any special interests not included in the tour. Friday afternoon we went on our last tour of the city, passing through the Bowery and Chinatown. The tour terminated at Grand Central Station in time to secure a lunch. At 5:10 Friday night the class of 55 was homeward bou . We arrived in Barre at 10:00 P,M, thrilled with the trip and anxious to see our parents and friends again. The Senior class wishes to thank suiyone who had any part of making this trip the wonderful success that it was and to Mr, Mrs, Gosselin goes a hearty thank you for being such wonderful chaperons.

But chances are that he never sav; such unusual sport as took place in this mirth-prompting comedy. Psychology and its effects were the prevailing elements through-out the comedy. The play, so aptly chosen by Mr. Paul Flynn, our director and advisor, was a comedy in three acts entitled The Little Dog Laughed. The plot concerns the extremely com- ical antics of the Huntington family, of whom each is their own right, is an individual. The stagestory became hilariously involved when Laurie returned home for a short vacation from college where she was majoring in psychology. Before long she had her parents, Sid and Martha Huntington and her teenage brother, Wally, convinced that they must find their energy peaks. The house bacame a jumble of notebooks and strange looking blocks and everyone was getting word association tests, blood-to-the- brain tests and intelligence tests. Pretty soon Sid, Martha, Wally and even the maid were walking around with thermometers in their mouths, taking their teir jeratures every hour on the hour I The feud with the neighboring family, the Woods, complicated matters still more. Miss Gustavesky, the maid, was convinced by one of Lauries tests that she was a genious and left the family when they needed her most, adding to the uproar. Few who viewed the play will ever forget the Purge Polka done by Martha and Sid in their night-clothes, Lauries fanous Sabre Dance or the paintbrush scene between Sid and Deadwood Ted Wood. These were highlights tP reraeinber and were uproariously received by the audience. The unanimous opinion of all who contributed to producing the play is that it was a joy to do under the able amd patient guidance of hr. Flynn. We are certain that many happy memories will be brought back to our minds when we recollect our play.

BASKET-BALL Barre High opened its regular season against a powerful North Brookfield foe. Despite the boys tremendous effort, they were handed their first defeat of the season. North Brookfield 73 Barre U8. Bryant and Panaccione were high scorers, each scoring 12 points. With their morale up high the Maroon and Grey invaded North Brookfield again. This time determined to revenge their only conqueror. Once again, after a hard fought game the Maroon and Grey suffered the second straight defeat. The score with North Brookfield 6? Barre 5U. Rotondo was high scorer with 16 points. Nox r more determined than ever, they sought revenge of their next foe. Holy Name. This time they were victorious, scoring an impressive 63-U6 win. Thia v;as done only under the superior coaching of Mr. Gosselin. The Barre men were never again to lose to one of its foes during the remainder of its regular season. TOURNA ENT TIME Barre, having won the southern division of the King Philip League, was to meet Northfield - winner of the northern division. After leading for three quarters, a determined Northfield squad closed the gap and went on to win the King Philip League. After losing this heart breaker, the maroon and grey met its first competition in the Tri-State Tournament - Hinsdale, defeating them 53-37 Once again they were on their way to victory gaining their second victory in the tournament downing Sanderson U3-28. Now they were to meet its toughest competition of the tournament - Thayer High School. It was a close game all the way, but Thayer ended up on the top 6-Ul. As Barre has always shovm their will to vjin, they now were to play their last game against Northfield, a team which had taken away the championship from Barre. But with their skill and determination Barre played far superior ball than the opponent and won a one-point victory to finish third place in the tournament. There were many favorites in this game. VJarren Panaccione was high scorer with 12 points, Gildo Rotondo made a basket before spraining his ankle to tie up the game, and Mike Dymon played tremendously in the latter part of the game to give us victory. ITie season therefore ended in triumph. Many thanks go to our clever and able coach Mr. Gosselin; without him v e wouldn’t have entered the tournament. He brought out the best in the Barre boys.

THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM OF BARRE HIGH SCHOOL HAS ALWAYS HAD ITS PROPER NICHE. IT HAS FOUND THE HAPPY rCDIUR BETWEEN A NOT-TOO-MUCH EMPHASIS AND A COMPLETE ABOLITION. THE ANCIENT ROMAN THEORY OF A SOUND MND IN A SOUND BODY HAS ALWAYS PLAYED A PART IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION OF OUR SOiOOL LEADERS. GOOD SPORTSMNSHIP, HEALTHY COI4PETITION, PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, HAVE ALL MARKED THE ATHLETIC SYSTEM OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL. THE STERLING EXAMPLE OF B.H.S.
