Barre High School - Barretone Yearbook (Barre, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1961 volume:

Ml DEDICATION The Class of 1961 is proud to dedicate its yearbook, the Barretone , to Mr. Philip H. Decelle. Mr, De- celle was our class advisor in I960 and is the coach for the baseball and Junior Varsity Basketball teens. Every senior in U.S. History has come in contact with Mr, Decelle in the classroom. He has been friendly and co-operative when we have most need- ed his capable assistance. ’’Now that we have graduated we can stop thinking about improving our schools. They concern those who have taken our place as high school students. This attitude is too frequently the one accepted by high school graduates. They feel that after the commencement ex- ercises there is no need for them to fight for bettering the schools,. If we, the future leaders of America, accept this outlook, where will our nation be? If every person, after he graduates, decides not to concern himself with schools or community, think what a dilemma the country will be ini Fortunately, there are those who keep this feel- ing of helping others all through life. There should be more. Now that the Class of 1961 has graduated there should be sixty-one more But will there be? — nol We all know that Stop and think; our children will be using these schools. Are we going to be content to let an overflowing building in 1961 suffice twenty-five years from now, or are we going to see that they have proper facilities? Let us put ourselves in their position, and then we will chose the latter Martha McQueston Editor Final Good-bye to Barre High As proudly I stand in my cap and gown. Memories of days gone by at Barre High Sweep through my mind and heart. My face reflects them, and not a frown But a happy smile, even as I sigh; Thinking how hard it will be to part. Four long years we’ve been together. And now the time is here To take our leave from this foundation. It ' s your turn now, underclassmen. To share in the pride we have for this school. So protect it, as we have done, and enjoy it, tool We’ll all be going our separate ways Each to seek his own success. A flow of tears comes to my eyes When the processional march begins. It’s like walking around the bend in a road And knowing that the curve will never end. Janice Regienus Assistant Editor MR. LEROY L.

Well, it should, for this is the voice of your class. Well, it ' s graduation time now. I can ' t really believe it. These four years have passed by so quickly. Why, I can remember our first day at Barre High. It was a bright and sunny day in September, 1957 and more than ninety freshmen entered the ivy-covered building. This was the beginning of the Class of ' 6l. We climbed the heavily- trodden stairs to the freshmen homeroom where Mr. Barbarisi, our new advisor, greeted us. With Mr. Barbarisi ' s aid we soon became familiar with our surroundings and chose our class colors, blue and white. At our first class meeting Steve Riendeau was elected president; Doug Phillips, vice-president; Michael Staiti, secretary; Ginger Klein, treasurer; and Martha McQueston, Student Council representative. In October, we, the new freshman class, met our first challenge -- the annual magazine drive -- and beat the sophomores, thus fulfill- ing our ambition. As freshmen, our members took part in many extracurricular acti- vities. In the fall, interests were developed in basketball and cheer- leading. Martha McQueston made the cheerleading squad, and Ann Puchalsky, Geraldine Clem, and Carol Gulino were on the girls ' basket- ball team. We were well represented on the Junior Varsity team, too, with Michael Staiti, Steve Riendeau, Martin Liscomb, Francis Gromelski, Karl Ericson, Richard Allan, Richard Foss, Richard Crowley, and Doug Phillips constituting a large part of the ' , J.V. ' s ,, . In the Prize Speaking Contest four of our members made the finals: Richard Foss won first prize in the boys ' division; Richard Crowley, second. In the girls ' division Martha McQueston placed second, and Ginger Klein third. Spring arrived, and with it the Callahan Contest and the Science Fair. Three of our classmates entered the Callahan Contest: Peter Inzerillo, Richard Foss, and Richard Allan. Peter won first prize. In the Science Fair, Brian Wells took first prize. Then came the end of our freshman year. We had had our first taste of high school life, and we liked it. Ah well, the sophomore year has its memories, too. I remember our class returning in the fall of 1958 as sophomores. Everything was familiar to us now. Mrs. Upham, a very patient class advisor, guided us in electing our class officers for the year. Michael Staiti was chosen president; Doug Phillips, vice-president; Martha McQueston, secretary; Francis Gromelski, treasurer. We then undertook the one sophomore event, the Sophomore Social, which was held at Ruggles Lane Auditorium for the first time. Will we ever forget Vinne Liscomb ' s impersonation of Relvis Pesley M l 1 When the magazine drive was over, we were disappointed to find out that we had not beaten the juniors. We entertained again. As basketball season rolled around, our class showed an even greater interest in sports this year. On the boys ' team were Michael Staiti, Francis Gromelski, Doug Phillips, Karl Ericson, Paul Sullivan, John Amidio, Richard Crowley, and Richard Allan. Carol Gulino, Ann Puchalsky, Geraldine Clem, Rita Cioci, and Martha Difley played on the girls ' team Carol Murphy and Martha McQueston were the only sophomore cheerleaders. Again spring arrived, and again Brian Wells won first prize in the Science Fair In the Prize Speaking Contes t 5 Robert Martin won first prize and Martha McQueston, second Thus ended our sophomore year Now we eagerly awaited the coming yea r and our title of upperclassmen The following September we walked Into Barre High School as upper- classmen No longer were we timid and unsure of ourselves; now we trod the halls and corridors with confidence — the confidence of juniors. We started the year off right, under the able guidance of Mr. Decelle, by electing as class officers: Doug Phillips, president; Michael Staiti, vice-president; Peggy Fleming, secretary; Martha McQueston, treasurer; and Paul Sullivan, Student Council representative. Sports were still the main interest for the class of ' 6l. On the boys’ varsity team were Michael Staiti, Douglas Phillips, Francis Gromelski, and Richard Allan Representing the girls ' team were Ann Puchalsky, Geraldine Clem, Martha DIfley, Rita Cioci, and Carol Gulino. The junior girls who helped cheer our teams on were Martha McQueston, cheerleader captain. Ginger Klein, Carol Murphy, Paula Gould, and Jean Damon I remember our junior year as being more socially active. We had two food sales which were very successful, and a spaghetti supper in January These events contributed quite handsomely to our class trip fund Remember all those dishes we had to wash that night? I After our supper, in late January, the class of ' 6l began plans for the Junior Prom to be held in May. Martha McQueston and Ginger Klein were co-chairmen. With their assistance and supervision, prom meetings were held regularly at Margaret Clark ' s home Meanwhile, even though the juniors were busy with prom activities, many members of our class still had time for such activities as Prize Speaking and the Science Fair Martha McQueston won first prize in the Prize Speaking Contest Brian Wells, our class scientist, once again won first prize in the Science Fair, and Jimmy Harrison won third prize. Ginger Klein, Martha McQueston, and Ann Puchalsky received Honorable Mention at the Science Fair. Finally, the long awaited event, our Junior Prom, arrived on May 13 That was a wonderful night All our expectations and the dreams of three years were fulfilled. Our decorations were beautiful and original. They consisted of a heaven of glittering stars, a fountain, a revolving mirror ball, and an arbor. Yes, that was a ' ’•ala night, truly a night to remember. So our junior year, with all its fond memories, came to an end, but not before Doug Phillips and Paul Sullivan were selected for Massachusetts Boys ' State and Margaret Clark selected for Massachusetts Girls ' State. After a restful, but exciting summer, the class of ' 6l returned in September as a different group. No longer were we the same group of scared freshman who entered Barre High in ' 57« No, we had grown up in many ways. V e were seniors now, with Mrs. O ' Neill as our class advisor. In the past four year s, our class had dwindled down to sixty-one students. When the magazine drive started, we showed our worth by winning the drive that October. The annual senior bazaar, also in October, was under the guidance of Doug Phillips, and was very successful. Everyone had something to do; not one person was idle a moment. It was great fun, especially the Hobo Hop that night. In the early part of December, the day arrived when the seniors could excercise the absolute authority given to the winners of the magazine drive for only one day at the Ice Cream Social. All I can remember is ice cream and more ice cream l After the excitement of the Ice Cream Social died down, the Seniors turned their attention to the Christmas Social to be held on December 23 at Ruggles Lane. Ginger Klein was general chairman. Although it was a non-profit affair, the Social was extremely successful. It was one of the best-attended socials in years. Unfortunately, although we had had throughout the year, a supper, as well as two food sales and the bazaar, we still needed quite a bit more money to finance the annual senior trip to Washington, D.C. and New York We hoped that the senior play would add a great majority of the needed funds, and it did. The senior play, A Rocket In His Pocket , under the direction of Mrs O’Neill, was presented two nights, February 17 and l8. On both nights we had a full house. The play, a farce comedy, was thoroughly enjoyed by all, thanks to the superb acting of the cast. After the last performance, the seniors had a party at the home of Doug Phillips, which was attended by one hundred people l Re- member Peter Inzerillo playing Santa Claus with Richard Crowley on his knee ? Then in March, we had several seniors in the Science Fair. Peter Inzerillo won first prize, Rita Cioci, second, Jean Buchinskus and James Harrison received Honorable Mention. Remember the excitement of the annual senior trip. We didn’t talk of anything else for weeks. Then the big day finally camel On April 17, we left for Washington. We couldn’t believe it, after four long years of waiting our dreams had come true. We had wonderful times that week. Will we ever forget the day four of our girls got locked in the Capitol Building? Or the day one of our boys got lost at the White House? Yes, those were happy days for the Class of ’6l After our return, the talk of the trip continued until the day of graduation and even then the fond memories were still vivid. Graduation, June 20, a day long to be remembered by all I ' m sure. As we sat on the stage of Ruggles Lane waiting to receive our diplomas, did we realize that no longer would we walk the familiar halls of B.H.S. as students? I think we did. The girls were crying softly, and the boys were feeling quite sad too. We all knew the things we had done together as a class had come to an end, and as each senior received his diploma, each in turn pushed the sad thoughts aside and thought only of the fond memories of four happy years at B.H.S. SENIOR ACTIVITIES On May 13,1960 the members of the class of ' 61 gathered to- gether to share a gala night, at our Junior Prom. Our theme was Stardust. The hall was beautifully decorated with light blue, white end silver. The ceiling was decorated with white and blue streamers with silver stars and sputniks throughout. In the center of the celling a revolving mirror ball hung with colored lights shining on it reflecting stars around the hall. In the center of the floor was a beautiful cascade fountain with pink flowers floating in it. The walls were covered with stars, a replica of our class banner and the word Stardust. A huge blue star hung be- hind the orchestra. The chaperones ' corner had a small fence with flowers in front of the chairs which were placed on a green grass carpet. The highlight of the evening was the long awaited ceremony when we received our class rings. Our class officers presented them to us from trays held by the ring bearers, who were Katherine Klein, Kenneth Karabatsos, Eleanor Perkins, and Joseph Jordan. Once the rings were safely on our fingers and the theme song was sung, we performed the intricate but beautiful Grand March. Words to our theme song Stardust , were written by Mrs. Lyle Anderson. The music was provided by Mr. Maki and his Commodores. Chaperons for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Philips, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Staiti, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Decelle, Mr. and Mrs. Richard McQueston, and Mr. and Mrs. Merton Baker. After the prom, many of the couples went to the Old Mill for a delicious dinner and a perfect ending to one of the most wonderful evenings our class has ever shared together. Star Dust Sometimes we longingly look beck on by gone days. Dreaming of those times. Those happy ways.,.. we were freshmen gay. And when we worked and played together ' Things were easier; It was such an inspiration. I But that was long ago. Now the big occasion Our Junior Prom has now arrived. And we are here tonight ... .amid the stars; lAll of us are here.... the biggest class. Juniors all at last. Our Barre High we ' re proud of you. Though it soon will end. Graduation ' s ' round the bend. There ' s one more year for me. Then memories of all you friends. The Junior class is gathered here this gala night At our Junior Prom. This melody ... .makes a memory. It is the night long waited for And we stand in ewe As our rings are given to us. What does the future hold? Lovely dreams of Stardust. Our Prom a thing of beauty rare I am here with you On this starry night. You are in my arms We sing and sway, feeling young and gey. A paradise of loveliness; Though this night will end In my dreams it all transcends. Our Stardust melody A memory of all my friends. SENIOR BAZAAR CLASS of 1961 On Saturday, October 1 I960, the class of 1961 held its Senior Bazaar on the Barre conmon. A W8rm sunny day greeted the class as they set up the booths and tents and opened them to the public. The crowd came early to sample the hot dogs and pop corn. Mr. Bazaar greeted young and old alike as they entered the grounds to buy apples and cider and the deli- cious cakes and pies at the food sale. Don Cilley, our lovable clown, was a big hit with the small fry as he brought them to the games and rides. Eva and Carole, dressed as gypsies, amazed everyone with their unique ability to foretell the future. The tent of horrors was a popular place in spite of the terrifing cries issueing from within. The Rummage sale and the car wash also attracted many people. Thanks to our chairman, Doug Phillips, the committee workers, and the people who attended, our Senior 3azaar was a huge success.

SENIOR PLAY A hocket In His Pocket On February 17-18, 1961, the Senior Class of Barre High School presented performances of the farce comedy, A Rocket In His Pocket, directed by Mrs. O’Neill. Much credit also goes to Peter Inzerillo, our stage manager, for his time, patience , and ability. From the moment the rocket was sent crashing through the ceiling, until he threw a tremendous block on Mrs. Matchett and sent four line- men sprawling across the classroom, Mr. Agnew, portrayed by Robert Martin, met with many hilarious problems. The first was Martha McQueston in the person of Mrs. Matchett, who personified the boisterous principal and football coach with competence. Prim, Miss Chisle, impersonated by Evs Kowza, after talking like a textbook and looking just about as glamorous for so long, became the apple of the man teacher ' s eye, after an overhauling. She was excel- lently cast and her cleverness obtained many laughs. Judy Mills, dreamed up the scheme to make Mr. Agnew become aware of Miss Chisle. Ginger Klein was entertaining in the sparkling, quick- witted role. Arlin Abbott, the fun-loving class prankster, was another of Mr. Agnew ' s numerous problems When he managed to get his thumb stuck in his desk and desperate measures are to no avail, in barges the outraged Mrs. Matchett who hurls threats of dismissal at poor Mr. Agnew. Vinne Liscomb, who played this part with talented proficiency, was amusing. Spaceman, Randy Tappin, with his regular orbit checks for the Smithsonian, enacted his role masterfully and with a great deal of humor . Lola Grumbine, the slithery, older, more mature (?) student, por- trayed by Carole Perkins, created one of Mr. Agnew ' s major problems, but finally ended up in the arms of Spaceman. Harry Cooper, Doug Phillips, and Janis Brown, Paula Gould, were exceptional in their big fight scene. Jackie Trent, the muscular athlete of the class, was portrayed ideally by Paul Jordan. His humorous catch of our comedian Spaceman brought a roar of laughter from our captivated audience. Barbara, Jackie ' s studious steady, played by Martha Difley, tried to save the day for Mr. Agnew by retrieving ice for Arlin ' s stuck thumb to bring the swelling down, but her efforts were in vain. Goldie Lee, enacted by Rita Cioci, and Ralph Hall, impersonated by Donald Cilley, were another steady couple often seen on the Rimrock campus . Carol Anderson, in the person of Mary Ann Stone, did a fine job in helping Judy and Janis rejeuvenate Miss Chisle. The Senior Class wishes to express its sincere gratitude to Mrs. O ' Neill, who so willingly and enthusiastically gave up her time for the direction on the play. We also wish to thank Mrs. Gariepy for her capable assistance to Mrs. O ' Neill in the direction, and Mrs. Sawtell for her efficient aid with the make-up. To the stage crew, who put so much time into scenery, properties, and sound effects, and also to the merchants of Barre and surrounding towns, patrons, and patronesses who helped make our play a tremendous success by their willingness to buy ads for our playbook, many thanks are given. 1st row (L. to R. ) R.Cioci, C.

J SENIOR TRIP WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK On Monday morning, April 17, the senior class left for five days in Washington, D.C. and New York City. We gathered at the high school at eight o ' clock where the school busses were waiting to transport us tc the Springfield station. In Spring- field, we boarded the train and were off for Washington. After an exhausting seven and a half hour ride we arrived at our des- tination. In Washington our luggage was taken for us to the Carlysle Hotel where we were going to stay for three nights. That first evening we were at liberty to do as we wished. In small groups we set out to see the city on our own. Many of us viewed the Capitol with its beautiful fountains by night. Others hired taxis and went to movies or historical spots. Tuesday morning we were awakened at 6:30 A.M. by the desk clerk and told tc dress and eat for an 8:00 A.M. tour. To begin the tour our guides took us by bus to the famous Iwo Jima statue. We were allowed to take pictures and see the statue close up. T e next stop was at Arlington National Cemetery where we were scheduled to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Tpis ceremony left us in awe at the perfection and precision we had gust witnessed. From the busses we saw the cemetery itself: row on row of little white stones. Privates and Generals alike have the same size and cut of stone. These are the markers for the graves. At Mount Vernon, our last stop before lunch, we toured the home of George Washington. We saw furniture and fixtures that were still preserved as they had been when our first President had lived on the plantation. The other buildings, stable, and tomb of George and Martha Washington were also ooen to visitors. From Mount Vernon we proceeded tc the Penn-Daw Restaurant for a delicious meal of Southern fried chicken. Leaving Virginia we again entered the Capital itself and went straight to the Capitol building. On the lawn, with the Capitol for a background, our class picture was taken. Follow- ing this we toured the Capitol. We were met in the Rotunda by a guide and taken through the Senate and House of Representative chambers and then back to the Rotunda. We exited and returned to the hotel. Although we were weary when we ended our afternoon tours, all of us freshened up and were ready to go again at 7:00 I.M. This time we first went up inside the Washington Monument (most of us by elevator). The view of the lighted city by night was tremendous. The long walk for the more active class members took quite a while as there are 889 steps in the Monument. Leaving this place we went directly to the Jefferson and then the Lincoln Memorials. The impressive statues of two of our great Presidents are truly works of art. Our next stop was the Archives Building where such pre- cious documents as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are kept under guard for public surveilance. In case of national emergency, we were shown the rrotective mea- sures that hnve been taken for the more important papers here. Our last visit was to the enormous and beautiful Library of Congress. Here there is a copy of everything copyrighted in the United States. The tremendous building; is as magnificent as any we visited. Thus ended our evening tours, and we anxious- ly awaited the sights we would see on Wednesday. Wednesday morning we boarded our busses and were taken to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving; where we saw money being printed. The process was explained and we were shown the actual printing. Having left the mint as it is commonly called, our guides brought us to the enormous Episcopal Cathedral. This is the seventh largest cathedral in the world and is only 65% completed. The immenseness of the building, which is all in magnificent Gothic architecture, is almost unbelievable. Our third stop was the Franciscan Monastery. Here the Monks led us through their church and the catacombs. Everything in this monastery that we saw was an actual representation of a Biblical scene from the Holy land. The catacombs are patterned after those in Rome, where the Christians were buried. The Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was our last stop before lunch. We decided to eat in the Shrine ' s cafeteria while enormous cathedral, was as interesting as the previous cathedral tour. Although the Gothic architecture was not employed, the airiness and cleanness of this church was unequalled in the others. Our last visit in Washington, the Smithsonian Institute, followed our tour of the Shrine. Here we were allowed to fo into any of the museums. Those present are the Museum of Natural His- tory, the Museum of Industrial Arts, the Medical Museum, and the Art Gallery. We also saw the administrative building from the outside . Our last evening in Washington was given over to free time, and then we were awakened early to board the 8:00 A.M. train to New York. At approximately 1:00 P.M. we arrived in Grand Central Station. Here busses awaited us and took us to the Taft Hotel. We assembled at 5 ' -00 P.M. after registering and finding our rooms and walked the short ways to the RCA Building in Rocke- feller Center. On the top of this building, the second tallest in the city , we were able to see all of New York . In the evening the entire class went to Radio City Music Hall to see the Absent-Minded Professor and the Rockettes. We also saw the Easter Pageant. Thursday evening most of us went to our rooms after the per- formance. Friday morning we were free until 1:00 P.M. and nearly everybody utilized part of the time for shopping. When we boarded our touring busses for the final lap of our trip, we were greeted by new guides. They took us through the Bowery, Chinatown, Wall Street, Greenwich Village, the Avenue of Flags where we passed the United Nations Building, the fish mar- kets, new slum clearance projects, and we could see the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. The busses had us at Grand Central Station at 4:00 P.M. where we met our train for Springfield and then were homeward bound. Our chaperones drove us back to Barre from Springfield in school busse s. Certainly this trip will long be remembered by students and chaperones alike. The Class of 1961 again wishes to thank Mr. and Mrs. Paul Jordan, Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Mischitelli, and Mrs. Russell Hopkins for accompanying us on our trip. PRO PH EC ¥ Twenty years, that is a long time, and now you are all together again. Just look around and see the change. Why, no other class has matched yours and probably no others will. I see on my right. Miss Gloria Salvadore, who has just purchased Revlon and established it as the ’’Beauty line of Salvadine . Seated on the sofa are three of our eminent teachers, Margaret Clark, Etelka Soos, and Rita Cioci. Each is an outstanding elementary teacher, for she enjoys working with children. Ginger Klein is enjoying teaching English to high school students in Prance. This certainly satisfied her wish to tra- vel and meet other people. Richard Crowley is a well-known history professor at one of our leading colleges. Mike Staiti has just com- pleted his thirteenth year coaching at Mercury, and his teams are still the hottest ever. Seated next to Richard is Bob Martin, our prominent biologist, who has just completed the first successful crossing of a coconut with a grapefruit. This is the ideal fruit: it doesn’t squirt in your eye because you can’t get it open. Some of our guests have been late in arriving due to bad weather in Rochester, Minnesota. Carol Murphy, Theresa Tolman, and Andrea Miknaitis, nurses at the Pluto Clinic, and Dot Taylor, head nurse at Children ' s Hospital have had to have a special flight arranged for them so they sould get here. Their pilot is the senior captain of the Trans-Space Airlines, Doug Phillips. Arriving with them is Jan- ice Regienus, secretary to our ambassador in Mars, who just flew in from their capital city. Jean Damon and Carol Anderson are the hos- tesses who are helping to make this flight possible.

MOMENTS TO •REMEMBER SENIOR PLAY 1961 CLqss of %Z Upon entering the familiar portals of Barre High School, the Class of ' 62 embarked upon its junior year by dutifully electing the following officers: Thomas Guilford, President; John Potter, Vice-president; Marion Carpenter, Secretary; Prances Werner, Treasurer; David Tucker, Student Council Rep- resentative; and Mary Jane Rebokus, Washington P’und Treasurer. With the title of upperclassmen and many plans for the coming year, we found ourselves ’under the capable supervision of Mr. Philip Decelle, our class advisor. Our class was represented on the Varsity Basketball Team by David Tucker and John Barkman while Marlene Mansueti, Patricia Pitisci, Linda Woodland, Carol Stay, Rosanne Mercik, Joyce Young, and Maureen 3ritton, manager, formed an important part of the girls ' basketball team. This year we are sorry to say that the juniors came in third in the Magazine Drive and provided the seniors with some wonderful entertainment. In the Prize Speaking Contest we were honored when Charline Shepardson was the first prize winner for the girls and Rosanne Mercik was the third prize winner. We are also pleased that Maureen Britton came in first with her display at the Science Pair. After two successful food sales and a spaghetti supper, we began preparing for our Junior Prom--an event we had all anxiously awaited. Our theme was Hawaiian Paradise and the decorations consisted of a lowered blue sky with stars, palm trees, mountains, and Hawaiian scenery. The entire evening was 8 most memorable occasion. After surviving an exciting year, we are waiting to see what lies ahead for us as seniors next year. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Seated : Thomas Guilford, President; Stand ing (L. to R.)

One was the feet that the class was to be united in one homeroom for the first time; another was that we were no longer Freshmen. Ihe first few days were hectic as they always are. Ihis year though, we felt we had an advantage in knowing where the rooms were and what the bells meant. Now we hardly ever go to the wrong class. At our first class meeting Stephen Perkins was chosen temporary Chairman and then elected President for the second year. New officers were Thomas Taylor, Vice-president; and Joan Vaidulas, Secretary. Mary Ann Mertzic held her post as Treasurer, and Lewis Valente became Student Council Represent- ative. With class elections out of the way we began thinking about our Social, the first school event of the year. Marcia Potter was chosen General Chairman with Joan Vaidulas, Carol Tetre8ult, and Leslie Teagno assisting. The Social, was a great success with hilarious entertainment and plenty of dancing. The Magazine Drive was another success for us. We managed to come in second again much to the dismay of the juniors. Roger Gariepy and Marcia Potter were room captains. We, Sophomores, along with the rest of the school were proud of the Turners ' Falls victory. Members of our class who took part were Thomas Taylor, Richard Lamacchia, and William Whigham. Many Sophomores had posts on the Junior Varsity and Girls ' Basketball teams. In Prize Speaking we had two victorious sophomores: Josephine Trifilo took second in the girls ' division, and Stewart Anderson placed second in the boys ' division. Our two years as underclassmen ha e been happy ones. We are looking forward to our years as upperclassmen with the same optimism.

There are many events to be remembered. Among them is the first day of school when everyone, even though they won ' t admit it, was a little nervous. The Freshman Assembly really initiated us, and when it was over, we all breathed a sigh of relief. We weren ' t relieved for long, for next came the Ice Cream Social. The Seniors proved to be too good for us, at the art of selling magazines, and we found ourselves at the back of the hall doing exercises. In September we had our first class meeting. Ray Bryant was elected President; Gene Onorato, Vice-President; Joyce Neri, Secretary; and Jane Cutting, Treasurer. Terry Falco was chosen to be Student Council Representative. At a later meeting, our class cheer and class colors (rod and white) were selected. After we got used to our new schedule, quite a few of the freshmen vent out for sports and school activities. We are proud to say that Ray Bryant was on the Barre High Varsity, and was part of the terrific basketball team that won the Tri-State Tournament this year at Turners Falls. Five of our boys played on the Junior Varsity team. They were Gene Onorato, Ted Lylis, Wayne Smith, Bob Puliafico and Ricky Robinson. Barbara Brown, one of the freshman girls, was selected to help cheer the teams. The girls took an active interest in basketball too. Judy Regienus, Anita Swanson, and Jane Cutting were on the girls team. Congratulations to Ted Lylis and Richard Keddy, who won first and third prize, respectively in the Prize Speaking Contest. It has certainly been fun being Freshmen, but we have a lot to look forward to in our future years at Barre High School. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS 1st row (L. to R.)

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Barre High School Varsity Basketball Squad this year started off the year fairly well and continued to improve throughout most of the season under coach Ray Sullivan, Experienced players such as Mike Staiti, Doug Phillips, and Frank Gromelski were a great asset to the team as well as two shining sophomores, Tom Taylor and Richard Lamacchla, Then came the Tri -State Tournament at Turners Falls. Barre had been seeded seventh in the tournament, but wound up by being the Tri- State Champs as they successfully defeated Thayer, Belchertown, Charlemont, and arch-rival, Hardwick for the Championship. Barre won two trophies at this tournament;- the 1961 Championship trophy and the permanent.

J.V. BASKETBALL With the help of such players as John Barkman, Billy Whigham and Gene Onorato, the Barre High School Junior Varsity Basketball Squad, under the supervision of coach Hr. Decelle, played some exciting games. Many of the sixteen games played were decided by only a few baskets. Without a doubt, the hard work performed this year by the J.V. ' s will add some determination and strength to next year ' s varsity squad. As this article goes to press, Barre has already 3hown a fine effort by winning their first two games of the season against Douglas and Charlton by the scores of 3 to 2 and 11 to 1 respectively. Barre has done well in past seasons and by the looks of things now, appears to be headed for a coveted position in the standings. 1st row (L. to R.)
