BARRETONE 1963 BARRE H I GH SCHOOL. Whenever a faculty member was needed to supervise one of our activities we could count on Mr. Crowne 1 s cheerful co-operation. Mr. Crowne has been with the school for three years and not once during that time has he failed to pitch in and help whenever necessary. Not only does he teach Latin, as many of us know through experience, but he makes it a living breathing reality. Because of your warm responsiveness, thoughtfulness, and your sympathetic reaction to the problems of others, Mr. Crowne, we, the Class of 1963? dedicate this BARRETONE to you. EDITORIAL As the world has progressed further down the road of time, man has found himself more involved with world affairs. He has found it necessary to draw himself away from his policy of isolationism. As man increased his contact with his fellow men, it became inevitable that he lose some of his individualism. Our country was built by the individual, by the rugged, sturdy pioneer who fought the wilderness and tamed it. Are we in our modern society of nuclear fission, space exploration, and communism losing tpo much of our individuality? Are we so imprisoned by our committees, organizations, and social activities that we are becoming as alike as blueberries in a pie? Individualism is a basic need for everyone, and is definitely one of the cornerstones to democracy. What a drab, uninteresting world this would be if everyone were exactly like everyone elseo Without individualism democracy would fall by the wayside. There would be no incentive to become better, or to separate oneself from the crowd in some manner. Individualism does have to be sacrificed to a degree in order to live in this modern society and to enjoy the benefits and luxuries of it, but we may be going too far. To say we should follow Emerson or Thoreau ' s footsteps and live by ourselves in the woods is going too far in the opposite direction, but we do need to be aware of the danger of losing our individuality. To retain our individuality we must pay the price of responsibility. We must be able to think and to make decisions. If we let ourselves become so routin.ized or irresponsible as to lose our individualism, it will certainly mean chaos and catastrophe. But certainly responsi- bility is not too high a price to pay for individual thought, freedom, and action. The greatest danger isn ' t that machines will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like machines. Roger Gariepy Editor EDITORIAL Today, such phrases as togetherness , family living, and the crowd are commonplace. We are living in an age where it is the style to follow the crowd; anyone not willing to comply with these standards is looked upon as someone entirely different or abnormal . True, being a member of the herd does have certain advantages. Take security for instance; each of us knows that his own group will accept him for what he is, no questions asked. There are other advantages too, such as learning from others or being able to accomplish something together. The disadvantages, however, far outweigh the advantages. In a group there are people of all types; some with strong personalities, others with weak. Invariably these stronger dominate the weaker, making them conform not only to their every demand but even to their every whim. We are living in an age where people are followers. You may say, But everyone can ' t be a leader! This is so, but we have such institutions as democracy so that the people can bid the leader do as they wish. Individualism is a great thing, a fact that we don ' t realize until it is taken away from us. To keep America strong we must retain our individualism, not be afraid to think for ourselves and speak out against anything that we believe is wrong! Marcia Potter Assistant Editor The Barretone otaff under the supervision of Iirs. G ' lieiil has «orked laboriously and painstakingly on the yearbook. The class of ' 63 would like to take this opportunity to extend its thanks to those - ho were on the Barretone Staff and especially to those who gave up their afternoons to prepare the pages of the yearbook. To Mrs. Messier and the typists also go special mention for their devoted work in faithful preparation of the proof. The class of ' 63 would also like to extend its gratitude to Mrs. O ' Neill for the many hours she spent proofreading the many articles for the yearbook, and for the time she contributed to insure a good-looking yearbook. 1st row.

We were frightened by the wild threats of the upperclassmen. We soon learned that their bark was greater than their bite. Miss Long and Mr. Pitisci were waiting to guide us during our first year at B. H. S. At our first class meeting, our main duty was to elect class officers. They were as follows: Stephen Perkins, President; John Lamacchia, Vice-President; Marcia Potter, Secretary; Mary Ann Mertzic, Treasurer; Robert Janulevicus, Student Council Representative. Blue and gold were chosen as our class colors. The Freshmen Assembly soon came and passed. Next came the Magazine Drive. We are proud to say that our class was the first Freshman class in twenty-seven years to place second in this drive. The Freshman class was well represented during the basketball season. Participants were: Ned Berthiaume, David Dansereau, Roger Gariepy, Robert Janulevicus, Richard Lamacchia, Angelo Salvadore, Jeffrey Watson, and William Whigham on the Junior Varsity team, and Thomas Taylor on the Varsity team. Leslie Teagno, Myrle Taylor, and Mary Ann Mertzic played on the girls ' team. Four members of the class participated in the Prize Speaking Contest. They were: Marcia Potter, placing fourth for the girls; Laurence Gould, placing second; William Whigham and Lewis Valente tied for third place for the boys. The year soon came to an end, and though it might have been hard at first to get accustomed to the rules and regulations of the high school, we can honestly say that we enjoyed this new life that we were now leaving. In the Fall of I960, we returned to the high school as Sophomores. We were all united in one homeroom with Mrs. Upham as our class advisor Class officers were: Stephen Perkins, President; Thomas Taylor, Vice-President; Joan Vaidulas, Secretary; Mary Ann Mertzic, Treasurer; Lewis Valente, Student Council Representative. One of our duties as a Sophomore class was to put on the Sophomore Social. Marcia Potter was General Chairman, while Joan Vaidulas, Carolyn Tetreault, and Leslie Teagno were assistants. We were proud to say that this Social was a great success. The annual Magazine Drive soon came. To the dismay of the Juniors our class came in second again this year. We were proud of our boys who participated in the games at Turners Falls They were: Thomas Taylor, Richard Lamacchia, and William Whigham. We were also proud of our class members who took part in the Junior ' arsity games and the girls’ basketball games. Stewart Anderson and Josephine Trifilo took part in the Prize Speaking Contest. Josephine took second place for the girl s and Stewart placed second for the boys. The end of our Sophomore year at B. H. 3. soon came. We have many happy times to remember during this year, and we will always remember the fun and excitement that took place. We finally became upperclassmen! In 1961, we walked into B. H. S. as Juniors. This made us feel as though we were now really a part of the high school. Mr. Decelle was our class advisor. Class officers were: Stephen Perkins, President; Lewis Valente, Vice-President; Joan Vaidulas, Secretary; Carolyn Tetreault, Treasurer; Thomas Taylor, Student Council Representative • We placed second in the Magazine Drive for the third year. Members of the basketball teams were: Thomas Taylor, William Whigham, Richard Lamacchia, and Roger Gariepy on the Varsity team with Alfred Whippee managing. Marcia Iotter and Mary Ann Mertzic played on the girls’ team. Josephine Trifilo and Stewart Anderson participated in the Prize Speaking Contest again this year. Stewart placed first for the boys, while Josephine placed third for the girls. This was a busy year for our class. After two food sales and a spaghetti supper, we began preparing for our Junior Prom. The theme for our prom was The Last Time 1 Saw Paris, with an Eiffel Tower, side walk cafes, and flowers for decorations. Our Junior year came to an end. At last we were Seniors. We are sorry to say that Myrle , Leslie, and Bob are no longer members of our class. As Seniors, we had many duties to perform. Our first was to elect officers: Laurence Gould, President; Lewis Valente, Vice- President; Joan Vaidulas, Secretary; Mary Ann Mertzic, Treasurer; Stephen Perkins, Student Council Representative. Mrs. O ' Neill was our class advisor. Carolyn Tetreault was elected chairman of our Senior Tea. He will always remember the good work done on our Senior Bazaar by Bill .Vhigham, the chairman. Although it rained, the bazaar was held on Oct. 6 inside the Town Hall. This year, after a great many tense moments we came in first in the Magazine Drive. We will never forget the fun we had as kings and queens on the day of the Ice Cream Social. Next in line was the Senior Social. A one act play, entitled Christmas Trimmings, was put on for the alumni. A dance took place after the play. It soon was time for us to begin thinking of a play to put on in February. Mr. Weldon found us The Happiest Days of Your Life a hilarious English farce. The play took place on February 15 and 16. Our last activity as a class was a ham and bean supper on March 30. Carolyn Tetreault was the chairman of the very successful affair. Now those four years of high school that we anticipated such a short time ago are drawing to an end. Soon we will be walking through the ivy covered portals for the last time as a class and out into the world as separate, adult citizens. Years that have promised to be so long as we looked forward to them have flown by, and we find it difficult to believe that they really have happened at all. The proof of their reality, however, lies in the hearts of all of us, the memories of fun filled days never to be forgotten. Prophecy It hardly seems possible that twenty-five years have elapsed since the class of 1963 graduated from Barre High School. It seems like only yesterday that our classes were held in the ivy covered building. Now we are meeting for our twenty-fifth class reunion. Joan Vaidulas, our class secretary, has just recently retired from being an airline stewardess for a big airline company in order to get married. She ended up with a record of traveling 1,983 362 miles. Her best friend in school, Carolyn Tetreault, managed to sur- press her desire to become a jet pilot and is a very successful elementary teacher. Her students like her so much that at the end of each year they give her a party. Carolyn, being the sentimental type, cries at each one. Dominic Pante, who has been in the Marines since graduation, now is a high ranking officer and makes a huge salary. Jill Dod has just arrived from New York City. She is the personnel manager of a very large department store there. Marcia Potter, an old friend of Jill ' s, is now married and owns this department store. She is very well-to-do. Stewart Anderson and John Lamacchia have been teaching high school in California for fifteen years. Incidently, both of them are still not married. Car designer Geoffrey Watson is the most sought after person of his profession in the whole United States. Next year he plans to take a vacation trip around the world. His most recent creation is surely going to cause a commotion at General Motors. It is going to be called the Barre Buzzard! Mary Ann Mertzic, who was married after graduation, is still living in Barre with her family. She does a little secretarial work for her husband. Elaine Raffier was also married shortly after graduation. She now has nine children and has very little time for outside work. Last year she was nominated Mother of the Year. Roger Gariepy, Thomas Taylor, and Laurence Gould are all working together in a prosperous engineering partnership. Their central office is located in Outer Mongolia. Roger recently constructed the much needed bridge between Tongareva Island and Topelau Island, both in the Pacific. Tom and Laurence have just killed 10,000 penguins to make room for the new Shcp-O-Rama parking lot in the South Pole. William Regienus has been traveling in Africa looking for rare and exotic wood for his lumber company in Barre. From the experience gained on these safaries, he has just completed a book called The Village Idiot. Billy Whigham turned out to be a world famous pianist. He has just composed a concerto in E minor. Josephine Trifilo is now a renowned fashion designer in New York City. She designs all her clothes for Harper ' s Bazaar, and last week she raised quite a frenzy in certain fashion circles when she designed a dress consisting entirely of match heads and chewing gum. Olga Salvo, Patricia Mercik, Nancy Ibnlle, and Lorraine Stevens are all prosperous secretaries in a huge insurance company. They find time out of their busy, married lives to correspond with each other. Carol Meilus and Betsy Lang are both nurses now. They are the team that discovered the sensational Love Pills. Both of them are reluctant to take the pills, but they are on sale for anyone who will pay the outrageous price. Donald Carpenter is an electronic technician in Boston. He invented a light bulb that never burns out, but they are available to close friends only. Larry Benedict, who has established for himself the name of a famous critic, has been touring the United States while making a series of lectures. He recently rated William Regienus ' s book as excellent. Sportscaster Richard Lamacchia will announce his tenth world series baseball game. Most of his classmates will listen to it just to hear the sound of his voice once again. Donna Kruckas, after a short while working for the airlines, married and moved to New Mexico. She and her husband own a desert motel there, and they have quite a good business. Angelo Salvadore, a much desired house builder, is the highest paid carpenter in the country. His associate, Walter Higgins, is building the much needed apartment buildings in India. A leading hairdresser, Barbara Whigham is said to have never done the same hairdo twice. Some of her creations are real wildl She has never had the same customer twice either . . . because her hairdos are lasting. Rodney Dwelly is a surfboard instructor in Hawaii. There, he owns a pineapple plantation which he farms in his spare time. Marshall Southwick runs a farm in Barre. He just received a prize for growing a ninety pound tomato. Alfred Whippee, after retiring from the service, opened a chair factory. His business is doing very well, and he is on his way to becoming the next millionaire in the country. Bruce Kitzmeyer, a leading cartoonist, joke writer, and movie producer, has done more for his line of work than any other person. He just finished producing a movie which is said to be the most frightening horror movie in history. Lewis Valente is now a Geometry teacher in the luabbin Regional School. He says that the old Barre High faculty have all retired. Stephen Perkins became our ambassador to Great Britain and is living there now. Now that the class is all here, the reunion will be called togfether by our President, Laurence Gould. This day will be memorabl to all, for certain.

The hall was filled with the atmosphere of France. Roses of many colors adorned the hall. Across the wall in large flowered letters was our theme The Last Time I Saw Paris. Seated in our small Cafe were our chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. John Gould, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Kitzmeyer, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Valente, and Mr. Philip Decelle. Flower carts were placed in two corners of the hall. In the middle of the floor was the Eiffel Tower. All this array was under a blue and white sky of streamers . The highlight of the evening was the long awaited ceremony when we received our class rings. The class officers who were Stephen Perkins, President, Lewis Valente, Vice-President, Joan Vaidulas, Secretary, and Carolyn Tetreault, Treasurer, presented the rings. They were assisted by the ring bearers Nancy Jankauskas, Julie Perkins, Peter Trifilo, and Russell Jhigham. Following the ring ceremony and grand march, we danced to the music provided by Perry Conte ' s Orchestra. SONG Tis prom time at our high school Our -hearts beat fast with joy And all the girls bring loveliness To each and every boy. The hall is gay and festive And now we have our rings Excitement lends its ecstasy As this our song we sing. Our Junior Class is gathered Here on this night in May And memories of these magic Hours will with us always stay. Our prom at Barre High School Takes us across the sea To romance in the gala realm Of spring in gay Paree. And though the morn Will end it all I ' ll remember her this way. S3NI0R BAZAAR For the second year in a row rain hindered the Senior Bazaar, but this time we had prepared for it. We were ready to move into the Town Hall if it did rain, and if it didn ' t we were ready to set up our booths on the common. Things didn ' t look very hopeful for it rained most of Friday afternoon and Friday night. It was still raining Saturday morning, so we moved into the Town Hall and began setting up at 9 A. M. sharp. Almost every member of our class pitched in a helping hand to cope with the bad weather. The rain didn ' t let up once all day. In fact it got worse. In spite of the rain the sale of apples, cider, clothing, and food attract- ed many buyers who kept us busy all day long. Above everything else at the Bazaar, we will long remember Rico and Chink running around town in the rain dressed as a donkey to advertise our bazaar. A Hobo Hop, directed by Bruce Kitzmeyer, was held at Ruggles Lane Auditorium that night rounding out our day by being a big success also. Thanks to the hard work and supervision of chairman Bill Jhigham a profit was realized from the bazaar; and the hop was both a financial and social success. ICC CREAM SOCIAL PICTORIAL ALUMNI SOCIAL This dance was purely a social affair, and was held on December 21, at the Ruggles Lane Auditorium. Preparations were made weeks before the event, especially for a short play called Christmas Trimmings . The cast consisted of Josephine Trifilo, Olga oalvo, Betsy Lang, Marcia Potter, Jill Dod, Bill Whigham, Geoffrey Watson, Lewis Valente, Larry Benedict, and Richard Lamacchia. The rehearsals and the play proved to be much fun. No one will ever forget Josephine as the irate Aunt Kate or Bill and Rico as the two crooks. We wish to express our gratitude to Mrs. O ' Neill who helped us greatly in the preparation of the play and dance. After the play Santa Claus (Chink) handed out gifts to the Alumni present. Finally, the band arrived and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. SENIOR PLAY THE HARDIEST DAYS OR YOUR LIFE On February 15 and 16, 1965 the Senior Class of Barre High School presented a three act farce-comedy, The Happiest Days of Your Life. The play was directed by Mr. John Weldon, assisted by Mrs. Gwenyth O ' Neill. The play centers around the occurrences that take place when a private girls ' school is housed temporarily with an exclusive boys ' school, in England shortly after World War II. The Principals, Headmaster Pond (Bruce Kitzmeyer) of Hilary Hall School For Boys and Principal Evelyn Whitchurch (Carolyn Tetreault) of St. Swithins were constantly in disagreement and provided numerous laughter-filled moments. They were backed up by Pond ' s assistants: Dick Tassel (Stewart Anderson) and Rupert Billings (Laurence Gould); and Miss Whitchurch ' s staff: Miss Gossage (Olga Salvo) and Joyce Harper (Marcia Potter). In addition, students Hopcroft (Geoffrey Watson) and Barbara Calhoun (Josephine Trifilo) provided more confusion for an already confused staff. Rainbow (Alfred Whippee), the school porter, seemed to take all his duties with a grain of salt as he attempted to satisfy the varied whims of the two faculties. The irate parents, the Reverend and Mrs. Leslie Peck (Lewis Valente and Jill Dod) and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Sowter (William Regienus and Joan Vaidulas) presented a further uncomfortable situation to the bewildered staff. The play ended with Hilary Hall getting rid of St. Swithins, but only after receiving the Meadowvale School for Backward Boys and Forward Girls as its next guest! The Senior class would like to thank Mrs. O ' Neill and Mr. Weldon for their patience and fine direction. We are also graceful to Mrs. Sawtell for her fine help with make-up. We would also like to thank those who bought ads, helped behind the scenes, worked on the playbook, and all others who made our play a success. CAST 1st row .

The members of the senior class all were kept very busy in serving the large crowd that attended. Busy in the kitchen were Mrs. L Heureux, Mrs. Kitzmeyer and Mrs. Gould. All involved worked feverishly and felt relieved when it was over. One person found out that this was not the event at which a new pair of shoes should be worn. Right, Mr. Whigham? The supper was a success and the food was good. This was our last fund raising activity for money for our trip to Washington D. C. , and New York. Carolyn Tetreault was chairman of the supper. CLASS TRIP At ?:00 A. M. , Monday, April 15, Barre High School stood quiet and stately — undisturbed in the morning dew. Fifteen minutes later, hurried, excited Seniors began to gather at the sides of the old building. The long awaited day had finally arrived . . . our class trip! Soon we left a cold and windy Barre, arriving in Springfield to board a train for Washington D. C. When we finally reached Washington, Buddy, our bus driver-guide, as well as our friend, drove us from the train to our hotel, The Carlyle. That evening we had free to explore and enjoy the beauties of the city. Tuesday morning we began our tours. First we took a general tour of the beautiful city and Buddy pointed out different buildings and filled in our knowledge from his great store of historical facts. Next we proceeded to the majestic and impressive statue of Iwo Jima. From this we went to the Arlington Cemetery where the graves of our military dead are marked with small white stones and crosses. They took us to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which represents all our soldiers lost or presumed dead in war. There we saw the stately ceremony of the Changing of the Guard. Then we took to the country. On the way to Mt. Vernon, Buddy showed us how to feel the pane of the radar in a way we ' ll never forget! At Mt. Vernon we saw the restored home of George and Martha Washington. We had a delicious fried ■ chicken dinner at the Fen-Daw Restaurant Our afternoon tours started at the huge Episcopal Cathedral which we were told is open to people of all faiths. Then we went to our nation ' s Capital. On the grass before the Capitol we had our class picture taken. In the Capitol we saw the Senate and House Chambers. Buddy then pointed out to us the Supreme Court and the Pentagon Finally we returned to the hotel, only to begin touring again at 7 ; 00 P. M. That evening we saw the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, majestic and stately against the deep, night sky. Next we went to the Washing- ton Monument where a few energetic members of the class climbed to the top. The view of the city was beautiful in the calm night. .From there we went to the Archives Building where many of the nation ' s important historical documents such as the Declaration of Independence are kept. Our next stop was the huge Library of Congress. Then we had a view of the big, new Washington Stadium. Wednesday morning we were again ready for tours. The first visit was to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where we saw how the paper currency of the United States is printed. Next we went to the Lincoln Museum, site of Ford ' s Theater where President Lincoln was shot. From there we went to the famous Wax Museum, where famous men and women along with important events in our history are depicted in wax. Later we visited the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The Shrine is very large, although not as large as the Cathedral. We had lunch at the big cafeteria located in the basement. Our last tour in Washington was the Smithsonian Institute which consists of many large buildings housing numerable displays. We were told that it would take eight years, at eight hours a day, for a person to see everything in the museum. We then returned to our hotel to spend cur last night in Washington. The rest of the evening was free for us to get a last look at the beautiful city. Thursday morning we boarded the train for New York and arrived at 1:4-5 in the giant city. After checking in at the Hotel Taft we walked to the R. C. A. Building for a thrilling view of the city. The after- noon was left for our own use, to shop or rest up for the evening. In the evening we went to Radio City Music Hall where we saw the movie Bye Bye Birdie and watched the Hockettes in the Easter Show. On Friday, thirty-five tired Seniors started on their last tour at 1:50; it consisted of a trip through the Bowery, Chinatown, and a look at the U. N. Buildings. Our tour ended at Grand Central Station where we boarded a train for Springfield and home. Our class trip was an occasion which we will always remember as a time when class co-operation held a meaningful and heartfelt place in our lives. The class of ' 63 would sincerely like to thank our wonderful chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Merton Baker and Mr. and Mrs. Thilip Decelle, whose wonderful patience and understanding made the trip more exciting for each one of us. UNDER CLASSMEN CLASS of 1964 In September, 1962, we the class of ' 64 began our third year at B. B. S. We entered our Junior year as proud upperclassmen. Under the guidance of Mr. Decelle, our class advisor, we were able to plan an eventful year, full of excitement. The officers of the class were as follows: Ted Lylis - President Bob Perkins - Vice-President Barbara Brown - Secretary Terry Falco - Treasurer Teri Benedict was chosen Student Council Representative. Our class was represented on the Varsity Basketball Team by Ray Bryant, Gene Onorate, Ned Berthiaume, Bob Puliafico aa( l John Brewer. Ricky Robinson was on the J. V. Team. Barbara Brown, Jane Cutting, and Anita Swanson were part of the Cheerleading Squad of B. H. S. On the baseball team were: Ted Lylis, Ray Bryant, Gene Onorato, Jim Mirabile, and Bob Puliafico. We took second place in the Magazine Drive which left us to watch the hungry seniors eating ice cream. Richard Keddy took second place in the annual Prize Speaking Contest . After two successful food sales and a spaghetti supper, we began our plans for the Junior Prom, which was held May 10, 1963. The theme of the Prom was A Night In An Oriental Garden, and our theme song was Sayonara. Though each job seemed enormous, we somehow got through each successfully and are looking forward to our Senior year with great expectation.

We started our Sophomore year off by electing class officers: Francine Jedetski, President; Richard Trio, Vice-President; Cathy Roberts, Secretary; and Chris Salvo, Treasurer. Our Student Council Representative for this year was Alan Cirelli. We ended up in the traditional third place in the magazine drive. We therefore provided entertainment for the seniors as they sat and ate ice cream. Our first important event of the year was the Sophomore Social. Joyce Vining was elected Chairman and with the patient and helpful guidance of Mrs. Upham and Mr. Zona, the social was a great success. Basketball was the favorite sport with the class of ' 65 - Jerry Phillips played on both the Varsity and the J. V. teams. The other Sophomore boys on the J. V. team were James White, Alan Cirelli, Charles Hudson, and Donald Whigham. Chris Salvo, Joanne Hale, and Joyce Vining contributed to the fine cheering. By taking second place for the girls in Prize Speaking, Regina Scott did a splendid job of representing our class. After surviving this exciting year, we are eagerly waiting to see what lies ahead for us as Juniors next year.

Garxepy VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1962 — 63 varsity basketball team had a fair season as they compiled eight wins against nine losses under the guidance of Mr. Ronald Allen. This year’s team was considered by many to have been one of the best ever at B. H. S. , but the chips just didn ' t fall that way. However, the Barre five did look extremely impressive on occasions, and provided some interesting and exciting basketball. Co-captains Tom Taylor and Richard Lamacchia were selected for the Western Worcester County League All-Star Team. These two along with such experienced juniors as Ray Bryant, Gene Onorato, and Ned Berthiaume were instrumental in setting up the pleasing plays taught by Coach Allen. In the Tri-State Tournament Barre defeated Hinsdale 99-29 in the first round of the tournament, but was eliminated by a strong Williamsburg team 60-44 in the quarter-final round.

BASEBALL As we go to press, the Barre High School baseball team has yet to start their season, so here is a review of the 1962 baseball season. Incidentally last year ' s team is basically the same as this year ' s . The 1962 team had a most interesting season while gathering 5 wins against 4 losses. In three of those losses, footballish scores of 25-3, 24-0, 13-1 indicate Barre ' s inconsistancy. On the other hand, the Hornets won 5 of their last 6 ganes including two shut-outs over Warren by Bill Regienus and Dick Lamacchia. Tom Taylor was the leading hitter with a batting average of 370. Mr. Decelle did a remarkable job of’ molding the team together and filling up the many positions left by the graduating class of 1961. PITCHING I.P. R. E.R.
