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.

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)
