Dear Yogi: Hi5jDe I received your letter requesting an historical account of the Class of 1962. I am very glad to oblige you and will try to make it as interesting as possible. On the morning of September 3» 1958, as I sat perched on the bannister in the downstairs hall of Barre High, fifty-two Barre youths entered our fair high school. As I watched them enter, huddled together in groups like martyrs waiting for the lions to devour them, I considered how unaware they were of my presence. Only when these same students read my account at the end of their Senior year will they know that I have been watching them for four years. Mr. Harvey was their first Freshman adviser and the elected officers were: David Tucker, president; Kenneth White, vice-president; Marlene Mansueti, secretary; Rita Jolly, treasurer; and Joyce Young, Student Council representative. The Class chose green and white as their colors and wrote a class cheer in preparation for the Freshman assembly. The Freshmen worked hard in the magazine drive, many of them believing that they might be the first Freshmen to win the m agazine drive. An afternoon of push-ups and knee-bends in December made them think in more realistic terms about their status as Freshmen. David Tucker and Kenneth White were chosen for the Junior Varsity basketball team. On the girls ' teaim were Maureen Jo Britton, Manager; Marlene Mansueti, Rosanna Mercik, Patricia Pitisci and Joyce Young. When the Class returned after Thanksgiving they found a new class adviser, Mr. Phillip Kilmister. When it came time for the Christmas Literature contest sponsored by the Scriptus . Rosanna Mercik took first prize. Pat Pitisci did a good job in the Prize Speaking contest. When the Class of ' 62 returned to school as sophomores, their first order of business was to choose officers. They chose David Tucker, president; Kenneth White, vice-president; Frances Werner, secretary; Marlene Mansueti, treasurer; and Thomas Guilford, Student Council representative. Whatever feeling of superiority this class had as sophomores in September was soon gone when the news that their class had placed fourth in the magazine drive was heard. Mrs. Upham, the class adviser, directed a successful Sophomore Social at Ruggles Lane. Rita Jolly and Frank Patterson stole the show with their hillbilly scene, and Philip Lampi and Natalie Roberts played John and Marcia enthusiastically.
