BARRE HIGH SCHOOL 1957 EDITORIALS PROGRESS In all life there must be propress. V e see it in the prowing things ir the fields around us. V e sense it in the fast moving pace of modern-day living. In an era of progress, the need of making our lives successful is greatly Important, and we must seek and grasp every opportunity to do so. One opportunity that we all have in common is secondary educa- tion. This is our stepping stone to the future. From it, we profit by the mistakes and experiences we have witnessed. At school, most of us discover our basic interests and strive tov:ard a goal. Therefore, it is of vital necessity’ that v:e pattern our lives to be of ultimate benefit when we further our education, seek a job, or finally, settle down to a career. VJe must remern ' i er that our progress depends entirely on our attitude. There may b a long, tiresome road ahead of us, but ve must learn to overcome the obstacles in our path. The goal vrhich lies beyo’ d must be our chief concern. All of us should s trive — tox-7ard a goal in life, x-;hether it be a profession or an art. No one can be content in this age of confusion, when each one is pacing back and forth trying to get ahead of the next person, unless he has security. This can be attained m.ore surely by reaching one ' s desired goal in life Angela Keddy--Ed itor FR0GRES3 k ' emer before in the history of this country have people been so acutelx ' conscious of the need for education, especially that vdiich xarovides greater efficiency in a specialized field. Before the Comipuls or 3 ' ' School Lax-; was parsed, only a choice fex-; could attend a school of anj kind. The hardships of fex; textbooks, of having all grades in one classrooms, of tending the fires, and of living xvith families in the community faced the teachers of the past. VJilllngness to surmounu these obstacles proved a valuable incentive. Today education has progv essed to the point x;here it is available to everyone. There are correspondence courses, educational T. ' V. stations. Great Books Courses, adult classes. Industry - training schools and many different t pes of scholarships available to each and every one x;ho has the interest and the ambition to further his education. Students today have so much offered to them that it is unfortunate to see so fex-j students take advantage of these opportunities. As the saying goes, Opportunity Imocks only once. Students should heed this advice and go on to school. Manyr of those v;ho have graduated before rue the day that they made the decision to stop their schooling x;ith b. igh school. Joy Bacon--Ass istant Editor ( 2 ) DEDICATION The Senior class is proud to dedicate its year- book, the Barretone , to Mr. Guido Vallario. We regard him as a friend and guide as well as a fine teacher. Therefore we realize that he deserves this dedication as a remembrance of our mutual friendship to him. Although this year was Mr, Vallario ' s first year at Barre High School he won his students from the be- ginning, His gentleness, sympathtlc manner, and help- fulness are attributes which are rarely found-all in one teacher. The class of 195? wishes to take this opportunity to pay tribute to a man, such as Mr. Vallario, for a year of wholehearted service.

MISTOBY C )L A lQ53_5ii Cn ' eptt imbf r 9, 953, fortj -one little seeds were planted in Barre Hlrh School. ■r, Walter Dnp .ils was the prardener chosen to help the little seeds in tV ' ' s the - nrst year of their new lives. It vjns in September of our first year that we were introduced to hel Ober -. Try as we mijp;ht; the upperclassmen proved too powerful and we were found at the back of the hall at the Ice Cream Social doing the tTHditional exercises. When we became better acquainted, we held class elections with the following people chosen as officers: Richard King, President; Roger IMey, Vice Presilent; Anne Kowza , Secretary; and George Crowley, Treas- urer . We were also xvell- represented on the Junior Varsity. We also had three girls. Sue, Slalne, and Anne making the Girls ' Varsity and helping to v;in the Tr 3 -State Tournament in Turners Falls; also five girls, Joy, Carrnela, Carole, Karen and Joan made the Junior Varsity Cheerleading Team. In February Jon Winters joln d our class. When baseball season approached, we displayed our talents when Fred, Roger, and Glenn made the team. Next came final exams and school was over for the year. SC-PHOMOHE. . . .195 -55 Summer seemed hardly here when it was over again. This was an im- portant interval ..because nnw the seeds had become seedlings, and were be- ginning to make their- nark. This year, the forty-one Sophomores united with the upperclassmen in welcoming the Freshmen, We also joined our homeroom teacher, Mrs, Upham, in welcoming our new Commercial teacher. Miss Beverly Chase. We met Del Obert again this year, out not as a complete stranger. We were not totally unfamiliar, with the back of the hall where we again spent the Ice Cream Social, hour. In October we held our first social event of our High School careers when we presented the Sophomore Social which was well attended and enjoyed b ' all. Cur class officers this vear were: Roger Sibley, President; Pete Marconi, Vice President; Sue Bryant, Secretary; and Thomas Staitl, Treas- urer, Ricky, Joe, Frevd, and Peter played on the Varsity squad while Elaine, Sue, and Anne ‘ gain on the Girls ' Team. Joy, Carrnela, and Karen were chosen as Varsity Cfie rl ' aders , Four Sophomores went out for Prize Speaking. Tomimy and Eugene Caille took second and third places respectively while Kathy and Joy captured first and second for the girls. Those terrii.iTe exams came again, but again w ' e survived. We decorated for Class Day and then left school for another summer, JUNTCR 1955-56 Another summer vacation faded into oblivion and the seedlings of v.he year before were transformed 3nto thirty-six saplings. This, our Junior vear, was to be our most decisive. We were now upperclassmen and we really tried to act it. This year we welcomed Mr, Wells, Miss Houle, Miss Barry and Mr, Thomp- son to the teaching staff and Alma Adams and Herbert Bacon to the class. ( - P) CLASS HISTORY The class officers were; George Crov;ley, President; Peter Marconi, Vice President; Sue Bryant, Secretary; and Thomas Staltl, Treasurer. We looked ipon Del Chert ' s visit this year with new purpose. This year vje really tried to beat the Seniors and until the very last count. It looked as If we had succeeded. It turned out that the lucky Seniors had won but we didn ' t mind too much because we still had another year. The Ice Cream Social was enjoyed by all. In November we had a very suc- cessful Junior Tea at Sue Bryant ' s house. Basketball season came again and this year the team was gifted by the presence of Ricky, Joe, Peter, George, Tom, and Glenn, On the Girls Team w ' ere; Anne, Sue, Elaine, and Alma. Joy, Carmela, Karen, Joan, i nd Carole were on the Varsity Cheerleading squad. This year we lost a heart-breaking game to Northfield that put us out of the Tri-State Tour- nament . In April, Joy took second place in the Prize vSr eaking Contest. At last it vjas here ' . Cur Junior Prom ' . That night, for which we had worked many hard days, was one of the most wonderful of all our High School memories. Our theme was Moonlight Mood and our song w ' as It ' s the Lovliest Night of the Year , and It certainly was. When Miss McSherry left Barre High in May, we felt we had lost a true friend and we wished her happiness In her married life. In June, I.ols took second prize In the Callahan Contest, Final exams. Class Day, and summer vacation. SENIORS 1956-57 Cur Senior year thirty of us greeted Mr. William Cary as our home- room advisor and w e soon met the other new teachers Mrs. Martel. Mrs. Heatey, Mr. Vallario and Mr, Kar ' = ' -batsos , who cane back after spending half of last year here, VJe immediately elected class officers: Thom.as Staiti, President; Peter I ' arconi, Vice President; Sue ' Srj ant, Secretary; and Karen Swenberg Treasurer. Kathy O ' Connor was elected Class Historian. We eagerly avfalted the arrival of Del Obert this year, not only for his stories, but because we knew that this was our last chance to win. Try as the Juniors might, the Seniors won by a large majority and we really enjo ’ed the Ice Cream Social, Bernadine Novak left In November to get married. Then the Senior Social came and went. In February our play, The Perfect Idiot , vjas a huge success, earnin enough money for our Washington trio in April, It was a wonderful week and v ell worth working for. This year in basketball, Ricky and Peter were chosen as the captain of the Girls ' Team, with Anne and ' Alma supportinr; her. Joy, Ca ' ' , K-aren, Joan, and Carole cheered the team on to the Tri -State Champ- ionship at Turners Walls, Lois took second prize in the Prize Speaking Contest.

Other members of the star-studded cast were: Richard Sears as Latherby, a rich soap manu- facturer; Glenn Stratton as Roger Tennyson, frustrated child psychologist, and father of Dan; Alma Adams, mother of the household; Jon Winters as Jackie; i eter Marconi, ( 36 ) father of Linda; Sue Bryant as Jeannle Wilson, Jackie’s girl; Donald Sawtell as Von Barf, a noted psychiatrist; Mildred Swenson as Miss Baker, a high school teacher; Joy Bacon as Miss Booth, a reporter; and Richard Danila as a policeman.

Oh I What a wonderful sight But our wonder is mingled with tears For we recall on this night All the joy of these wonderful years. And though night fades away Its enchantment will ever be near For this night in May Is the lovliest night of the year. ( 39 ) JUNIOR PROM MOONLIGHT MOOD Having found ourselves as Juniors, we all anticipated one day, May i|., 19 $ 6 , the day of our Junior Prom. In Feb- ruary, the different committees were chosen and they began working immediately. Tommy Staiti was picked as the Gener- al Chairman for the affair. After much discussion we chose Moonlight Mood as our theme and It’s the Lovllest Night of the Year as our Prom song, Mrs, Unitis wrote the words for us. For decorations, we decided to fill the hall with stars. Sue and Carole donated the use of their homes and we started cutting, assembling, and painting the silver and blue stars. We also had a huge ring with an illuminated stone. It was decorated in the class colors, green and white, and placed in one corner of the hall as an arch that was ideal for pictures. The Prom was well attended and the class realized a pro- fit. ur efforts were well repaid as everyone enjoyed the beauty of that night. ( 41 ) JUNIORS 1st Row (L. to R. ) I. Hlgp:ins , M. Kukas, J.

There are many events that stand out : among them is the opening day when fifty-three Freshmen, very frightened, made their first appearance at Barre High. The first assembly was a.nother terrifying experience which we endured. Then there v;as the Ice Cream Social v. ' hich was so disappointing for us because we had v-orked sc hard and sold so many magazines (v;e thought) only to finish doing exercises. In November the class officers v;ere elected, Tom anaccione was elected president; Carol Britten, vice-Presl- dent; Evelyn Kowal, secretary; and Alan Houston, treasurer. The Student Council Representative vras John Mason. Seven of our ' ' oys plaj ' ed on the Junior Varsity team. They were Paul iMann, captain, Joe Neri, Tom anaccione, John anzyek, Ted Cullfcrd, David Whlgham and aul Larrabee . Congratula tions Evelyn Kowal, for taklpg third place in prize speaking. (U?) AUTOGRAPHS ( 49 ) BARRETONE THE BARRETONE STAFF The Senior class of 1957 drew to a close by comprising a yearbook as is customary. The Staff went through some hectic work but we finally came out on top, with the work behind us and the pleasure before us as we enjoyed reading the Barretone , reminiscing our four wonderful years together. Mrs. Martel, the English and biology teacher, supervised us in preparing the Barretone . Her advice and ideas were certainly assets. Our decisions would not have been so wisely made without her assist- ance. ( 50 ) SCRIPTUS STAFF The Scriptus This year under the direction of Mr, Cary, English advisor, and Mr. Karabatsos, Commercial teacher, the Scriptus was edited by Glenn Stratton , v;ho was assisted by Kathleen O ' Connor. It was decided to publish the Scriptus bi-weekly but this did not prove advantageous for for a school of this size. Although the Scriptus was not Issued in the latter part of the school year, many new features were added during its publication. College reviews and cross-word puzzles were just a few of the Interesting additions. GLEE CLUB This year we were once again very fortunate in having Miss Chase direct the Glee Club, Under her leadership, the Glee Club sang for the farent- Teachers Association, and before Christmas made recordings of Christmas Carols which were played on Christmas Day over WCAT in Athol. The Glee Club once again sang at the Music Festival in Springfield. We wish to extend our thanks to Miss Chase for her hard and untiring work.

The co-operation of the students was also brought out in the large group of loyal rooters who showed up to cheer the boys on. We are: Joy Bacon, Carmela Ross, Carole Ingle, Karen Swenberg, Joan Newcomb, and Margaret Murphy. ( 54 ) Tournament Time As the Tri-State Tournament opened, the Barre Hornets were determined not to make the season a complete failure. In the first game, Barre met a surprisingly pov;erful Leland and Gray Team. The boys led through out the game and capt- ured the victory by a score of 58-i|-0. This victory Inspired the team greatly and spirit built up among the players. In the second contest the Hornets met a highly favored Williamsburg High and in a thrill-packed event, the Hornets were victorious for their second straight win. Barre moved into the Semi Finals against Hardwick. The Hornets wanted this victory more than any other game of the season, because of a 1 point lose to Hardwick at the close of the regular season. Although the boys were behind in the first period by a score of 13 - 9 they quickly caught up and the second period ended with Barre ahead 23-18. However, in the third period the boys fell behind by a score of 37-31 • As the fourth quarter opened, Barre quickly regained the lead until the final gun, thus winning 2 - 1 7 • The final game of the tournament will long be remembered by the players and fans alike. Barre met a very powerful Hinsdale High School team. The Hornets shooting ability of this game was better than any other game of the sea- son. And the Hornets proved to be too much for the Hinsdale quintet, a score being 73“88 in a very exciting battle. Thus giving Barre the Tri-State Tournament Championship. Our most able coach, Mr. Gosselin deserves more credit for our Championship than any other person. Without his most clever guidance, Barre certainly would not have gone on to victory in the Tournament. BASKETBALL In spite of the season, deemed relatively unimpressive from a won and lost stand point, the Maroon and Gold of B.H.S. represented itself creditably on the basketball court. Al- though the record stood at S wins and 11 losses, most of the losses were by one or two point margins in games that could have gone either way. Barre opened its season against a long time rival by meeting a favored Hardwick High School team. The Hornets were victorious in their first clash of the season by rout- ting their opponents by a score of 7-39 with George Crowley being High Scorer with l8 points and the entire team looking very impressive. Barrels second trial of the season was a thriller which they lost to Tantasqua High School by a score of 70-64 but they came back in the standing of the league by beating Sutton 52- 50. The season proceeded in much the same manner, the boys fighting gallantly throughout. As the regular league season closed the team finished v lth o five v;in, eleven loss record.

They had a record of seven v ins and only one defeat under the able coaching of Mias Barbara Barry. The team deserves much credit for the excellent play and sportsmanship that it has shown in all the games. The girls had no Individual star for the season. The average points made by the six forvjards ranged from Jackie Mirablle with 1? to Ginger Varnot with 2; in between we have Julie Mansueti with a l6 point average, Alma Adams with 8, Judy Baker with and Barbara Finan with 3� We must not forget the guards. Although it is unfortu- nate that guards are unable to score, nevertheless, we must remembet’ that a game cannot be vx)n on )olnbs alone. The ' defensive team was made up of Captain Elaine Celona, Anne Kowza, Barbara Puchalsky, Rebecca Bentley, Nancy Bacon, Kathy Taylor, and Ann Pitlsci. ( 60 ) The team would like to thank Hiss Barry for the wonder- ful job she did coaching the girls on to victory. Also, v;e v ould like to thank our manager Elizabeth D’Annolfo, and score- keeper Diane Gulino.
