BARRETONE Barre High School Pu t I I shed by THE CLASS OF 1956 STANDING WITH UNCERTAIN FEET WHERE THE BROOK AND RIVER MEET If we were to compare life to a scenic panorama of Nature we could say that the light which first heralded our dawn shone through the eyes of our loving parents. Having once left the familial nest, we fledglings entered the first phase of our educational life. Grade school introduced many exciting new concepts — the printed page leaped to life before our eager eyes. We met new friends and learned to play with them as team-mates and competitors. Then, our first graduation exercises, a high point in our adolescent lives, occurred in 1952. We now progressed a step further and entered Barre High as naive Freshmen. Like the brook, our path was contorted and obstructed, yet heedless of these barriers we established an indomitable record academically, financially and socially. Now, as the brook reaching the river, we face another graduation this time with no guarding hand but merely a guiding word. Having reached the river we find more hidden currents and treacherous training, we know at last where to walk. JENNIE M. CELONA NOW THAT WE’VE FINISHED Now, that our days at Barre High Have ended, and we must say good-by; Think back over those four exciting years. When first we laughed, and then shed tears. Remember when we were freshmen at first. Glowing with pride through the doorway we burst. We thought that the school we would soon overtake. But found upperclassmen there in our wake. As sophomores we advanced a little more. And thought of the years for us in store; Next year as juniors we would almost be there. And thinking of college for which we’d prepare. The third year, and thoughts of the prom were bright. We all made ready for that wonderful night. By the end of the year we stopped fooling around. And stood, our feet more firmly in the ground. Our senior year had come at last. Though now we say it came too fast. We thought of the many good times that we had. Now leaving the school, we are not so glad. DOUGLAS BRYANT BRADFORD BACHRACH One of the most precious treasures we shall keep and cherish from our high school days will be the golden memory of a warm, vivacious personality that of Miss Barbara McSherry devoted teacher, sympathetic counsellor. Inspiring example, and true friend, to whom we respectfully dedicate this year s Barretone . We will remember always her unstinted service to us and to Barre; and with profound sincerity we wish for her. In her new estate as Mrs. Robert Egan, all of the happiness that life can offer. ac y yl ty SENIOR ADVISER ' ENGLISH E. CELONA, B.

CLASS NEWS t M JO gcogeJS . . .SUPERVISING! ! ! ! The time --- — 1952 The place -- — Barre High The event — Freshmen Indoctrination You are there as we join the ranks of the forty - four brave Freshmen who assailed the fortress known as Barre High School on a sunny September morning. We approached bravely, but our boldness quickly disappeared as we caught sight of our welcoming committee of upperclassmen. The boys were treated to a tour of the first floor (very first), and somehow they all seemed to get their hair wet. The girls in turn seemed to want a change in the style of the clothes worn in those days for they all had their sweaters on backwards. The first bell rang and we were introduced to the man who would guide our faltering steps that first year, Mr, Walter Dupuis, After the first harrowing weeks had passed, and the Freshmen Assembly was a vivid memory for us to carry until next year, we were introduced to Del Obert and try as we did, the Ice Cream Social found us counting one-two-three at the rear of the assembly hall. When we had all become acquainted, we held our class election. Bill Robinson was elected President, Leo Klem, Vice President; Shirley Scott, Secretary; and Joyce Sirois Treasurer, Three times we watched with delight the performances of the other classes at assemblies - but then came our tuml The first part of our assembly was our rendition of Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scout , Hilarious as this was, we really outdid ourselves in our version of Bride and Groom , The classes all seemed to enjoy our efforts and so we felt we were finally a part of the family. Next on our busy agenda was our selection for Good Government Day, and after holding elections we selected Joseph Binouski, We chose o ur class colors, made our class banner, selected a class cheer and before we knew it June was upon us bringing the disasterous tornado and final exams. We waited in agony for the results and breathed a sigh of relief when we got them. Then it was time for graduation and we bade a fond 1953 - 1954 YOU ARE THERE The time 1953 The place Room 1 The event ------ Return as Sophomores The years 1953 and 1954 found us as Sophomores, and we fondly greeted Mrs Upham who would be our home room teacher this year. Among the novices to enter Barre High ' s faculty were Miss McSherry, Mr Witt, Mrs Delue, and Miss Gleason, The first item to be dealt with for this year was the election of class officers The results this year were. Bill Robinson in the capacity of President, Janet Difonzo as Vice President, Shirley Scott, Secretary, and Guy BlNatale as Treasurer, This year at the Ice Cream Social, we provided entertainment for the Seniors, but we joyfully looked forward to the day when we would be sitting on that stage eating ice cream October brought thoughts and plans for the Annual Sophomore Social, and everyone present seemed to enjoy themselves that night. Basketball season was upon us before we knew it, and many members of the class were representing Barre High on the Girls Varsity, Boys ' Varsity, Boys Junior Varsity and Cheerleading Squads Maytime brought Proratime which a majority of the Sophomores enjoyed, for next year would be our year. Again June was upon us, and again we suffered through final exams. The Seniors were busy preparing for Class Day and we helped all that we could. The following Tuesday, we watched many friends depart, but we looked forward to next year when we would return as Juniors and upperclassmen! iCE soc a _ 1954 - 1955 YOU ARE THERE The time 1954 The place Room 6 The event Upperclassmen September of 1954 found us as Juniors, and the man bcstov ed with the fate of class advisor was I Ir. William Gosselin. Class elections were held and this year Bill Robinson was elected President, Tony Falco, Vice President; Shirley Scott Secretary and Janet DiFonzo Treasurer. This year found us even closer to our goal at the Ice Cream Social, for we v ere the ones who watched the Seniors stuff themselves. On November 26, vve held a very successful Junior Tea at the home of Betty Lou Gareau. Then basketball season drew near and found such stars as Brad Gromelski, Doug Bryant and Mike Dymon playing for the Hornets. May came along quickly and with it brought the greatest evening of our three years at Barre High - our Junior trom. Our theme was Enchantment” and our song - ”Some £.nchanted Evening”, After that marvelous night filled v ith all its wonderful memories, time just seemed to fly, for before we knev it June was upon us bringing graduation and mixed feelings of joy and sorrow; for our best friends would be leaving us, but then again we would return as Seniors. We v;ere very sorry to see Mr, Paul Flynn, a beloved member of the faculty, spy goodbye to Barre High. Also departing this year were Mr, Walter Dunuis, Pliss Maryann Handakas and Miss Beverly Chase. The class takes t ±s onportunity to wish success to these slaves of ’ umanity .

Miss Priscilla Houle, Miss Barbara Barry, and Mr. Louis Karabatsos also Joined the ranks of the faculty at the High School. The class elections this year had the same results as those of last year with the exception of Guy DlNatale as Vice President. At last, we won the magazine drive and we all ate ice cream until we got sick. Our Senior Tea, held in the High School Assembly Hall was a very successful affair. Next came the Senior Bazaar. We succeeded in setting a new record financially but we could not have done it without the help of everyone involved. In December we held our Alumni Social. Our theme was the First Christmas” and everything went very well. On February 17, 1956, we presente d The Inspector-General by Nikolai Gogol, Months of hard work finally rewarded us that night with a very large crowd and a very excited feeling.

AB OVO AD • • At about 6:00 A.M« on Monday morning, April 16, 1956, Barra High School was a scene of great activity. Thirty seniors dressed in brand new clothes and sporting new luggage, boarded Roberts’ bus for a quick ride to trainside in Springfield. On the way, excitement could be felt in the very air, in the way we joked, talked and sang. When we arrived in Springfield, we carried our luggage into the B O station and eagerly waited a few minutes for our instructions to board the train that would take us to the big city of New York. After a short train ride, we arrived in New York with some extra time at our advantage. The girls went window shopping and the boys took in all the sights they possibly could. Then wo boarded the train that would carry us through four states and finally to Washington D.C. The long afternoon seemed to fly and before we knew it, we wore in Washington. The first sight that greeted our eyes when we left the station was the United States Capitol Building. After all accomodations were made at the Annapolis Hotel, the evening was ours to do with as we pleased. Some of the class went sightseeing, some went to the movies and a few went to see Cinerama. Bright and early Tuesday morning, we met the bus for our greatest day of touring. First we had a lectured tour of the city which included seeing many foreign embassies. The White House, The Blair House and other famous government buildings. Wo visited tha Lincoln Memorial and then we whisked away to see the statue depicting the Raising of the Flag on Iwo Jima, from there to the Arlington National Cemetery where we witnessed the changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After this very impressive ceremony, wo boarded our bus which carried us to Alexandria where wo visited Mount Vernon and then had a delicious meal of ' chicken-in-the-rough ' at the Penn Daw Restaurant. The remainder of the afternoon was spent visiting the Smithsonian Institute, United States Capitol, and the beautiful Franciscan Monastery, where we almost lost one of our class mates. Wo met at 7t30 that evening to continue touring until 9:30. During this tour, we were impressed with the beautiful illuminated Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials. None of us will ever forget these beautiful sights or the Interesting Congressional Library and Archives Buildings. Wednesday found us at the Washington Monument, White House, Supreme Court Building, and the Mellon Art Gallery. At 12:30, wo arrived at the station where we bade a fond farewell to Mr. Martin, our bus driver, and to the beautiful city of Washington with all its educational and inspiring monuments and buildings. Wo reached New York at 6:00 P.M. after a delicious lunch on the train, and, having confirmed our reservations at the Hotel Taft, we met at 8;00 to watch a performance at Radio City Music Hall which featured the Rockettes on stage, and Mario Lanza’s new movie, ’’Serenade”. Thursday morning, we toured the N.B.C. studios and visited the roof of the R.C.Ao Building for a breathtaking view of the city. The remainder of the afternoon was open and at 8:00 P.M. we arrived at the Broadhurst Theatre to see the magnificent performance of Shirley Booth in the production ’’Desk Set”. Friday morning was opened for last minute shop- ping and sightseeing and Friday afternoon we went on our very last tour. We passed through Wall Street, the Bowery, and Chinatown, and also saw the United Nations Building. Our tour terminated at Grand Central Station where, tired, but full of wonderful memories, we boarded the train that would take us home to our parents. We arrived in Barre at 9tl|.0 P.M. bubbling over with things to tell our friends and relatives. The Senior Class would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who made this wonderful trip possible, and especially our chaperones Miss McSherry and Mr. Wells, without whose help we would have never lasted the week. � tr -vp g eTm r nTTVTV ' Barre High To Play BARRE MEETS c T L I HARDWICK DEl So.

JOHN SCOTT Seven bundles of dynamite wrapped up in maroon skirts and white sweaters, cheered our boys and girls on to victory this year. They ares Captain-Carmela Ross, Karen Swenberg, Irene Higgins, Carole Ingle, Joy Bacoh, Joan Newcomb, Margaret Murphy The athletic program at Barre High has always had its proper niche in student extra curriculum activities It has found a happy medium between over emphasis and complete abolition he ancient Roman theory of a sound mind and body has long played a part in the educational philosophy of our school leaders Good sportmanship healthy competition and physical development have all marked the athletic system of our high school. The sterling example of coaches has contributed tremendously in keeping athletics a well - balanced portion of our educational program. In spite of the season deemed relatively unimpressive from a won and lost standpoint, the maroon and gold of Barre High represented itself creditably on the basketball court. Although the records stood at nine wins and as many defeats at the close of the season, Barre ' s one loss in an unexciting contest was to Oxford, After Coach Gosselin displayed strict disciplinary action, the squad consisted of five Seniors, four Juniors, and three Sophomores , Bari-e High startec the 19 5-56 season with a bang by over coming a hicrhly underrated Hardwick team, 54 52, The next game with North Brookfield was also a thrill, with the visitors coming out on top by a score of [[.l-UG® tie Hornets then flew to an easy victory over Sutton, but found more difficulty in defeating a strong Tantasqua Regional Team, Charlton was the next foe to fall before Barre, but Cole Trade High proved too much for our boys in the closinF minutes of the game, and they eked out of 57-56 win, Vlctorie over Leicester and Cxford greatly inspired the team, but this Inspiration was short-lived as North Brookfied once again took top honors, A thrilling 69-6? win over Tantasqua was then followed by three close defeats. Then smarting from these losses, the Hornets once more stung Charlton, but ended the regular season with two more setbacks , TOURNAMENT TIME When tournament time rolled arounc, Barre High School was determined nd ready as always. We entered the tournament by winning easily over Charleraont High, Then, in only the second round, we met the most highly-rated team of the Tri-State matches, Troy High, In the closest battle of the year, we sadly ended the season by losing 61-58, after having maintained the lead until the final seconds of the game. At the end of the first quarter, the score was knotted up in a 16-16 tie. By half-time, we had surged ahead with a 31“3G lead. At the end of the third quarter we had increased the lead to [ 17 -I 4 I-I. We remained In the lead until about six minutes were left in the final quarter. Then Troy pulled aheaa, won, and ended our season, Peter Marconi and Ricky King were selected as co-captains of 1956-57 basketball team, succeed co-captains Mike Dymon and Doug Bryant , Many thanks go to our able coach, Mr. Gosselin, who brought out the best in the Bar: e boys.

Coach I.Iiss Barbara MeSherry, have seen it throupn success- full:-. Coach MeSherry labored incessantly threuGhout the year’ to produce a v.dnnlny team. The first three yamos were heartbreakers , as they were all lost by one point. Gr- ininy confidence after thes bitt? ' -’ setbacks, the ' -iris bc-an to show siyns of improvement and v ' O ' .md up with a -’ecord of six wins and as many defeats. Members of the varsity team were as follows: Janet DlFonzo (captain) Jackie i ' iirabile v ue Gariepy Julie Mansueti Elaine Celona Liza D ' Annolfo Anne Kowza Judy Baker Al::a Adams Becky Bentley Barb a Puchalsky Barbara Finan Jennie Celona - Manager and Scorekeeper The team would lime to thank I.iiss MeSherry lor tne wotiderful .1ob she did coachiny the team on to victory. GISr,S‘ JUNIOR VARSITY Because of the number of girls attending regular prsctlce sessions, Coach McSherry decided to have a Jayvee team. Considering that this Is the first year Barre has had a girls ' Jayvee team, their record of two ivlns and four losses shows promise for future varsity teams. The team consisted of the following members: Barbara Flnan Ida Allen Genny Beckwith Becky Bently Ginger Varnot Patty Larrabee Sonia Baker Anne Marie Pltlscl Julie Kowza Ann McNaney Nancy Bacon Kathy Taylor Due to a late and fierce winter, the opening of the baseball season at Barre High was delayed considerably. The weather not only hindered practice time, but it also cut down the number of games to be scheduled. With a large array of veteran players returning, the team is expected to do well this year, Many of the boys obtained a great deal of experience last year playing either on the American Legion Junior Baseball Team or in the Babe Ruth League for younger boys. On April 28, at Orange, the Barre team, without five of its regular players, beat Orange High, Prior to this game only two practice sessions had been held. The Barre team defeated Orange, a team usually rated highly in school ranks, Barre made good use of Orange, ‘I ' hey received eighteen bases on balls and made ten hits, Peter Marconi pitched the first six Innings and Reid Dahart finished the game pitching the last three innings. The final score in the game was 13-8, Barre being the victors, Barre, feeling more confident after having won over Orange, met Warren at thorng Field, in Barre, Barre wasted no time in getting at Warren, by scoring three runs in the first inning. On this day the Barre bats were blazing as the team slugged out eighteen hits, Barre tasted victory once again in this one- sided game, the score being eleven to five. As the Barre tone goes to press, several more games are to be played. If the first two games give any indication of the teams ability, Barre will have a successful season. Representing the team this year are the following boys: Mike Dymon — catcher Charlie Sibley — outfield Tony Palco --outfield Roger Varnot outfield Ronald Pitisci — second base Roger Sibley third base Reid Dahart third base-pitcher Russell Sibley--second base-pitcher David McQueston-short stop Richard Celona--outfield Walter Talancy--outf ield Joseph Adomaitis — outfield ROGER VARNOT AND TONY PALCO....
