Class Of 1951 In the early Fall of ’47 a bunch of rather queer looking freshmen, (shall we say) entered Barry High with the great ambition of one day becoming sophisticated Seniors. During this very difficult year with the sponsoring of Miss Nestrick, we managed to get through our first year at the Brain Factory, with Jack Bullington as President, Charles McCallister as Vice President, Nancy Johnson as Secretary, and Dick Wilson as Treasurer. We sponsored a dance and weiner roast during this year and both were a great success. As Sophomores we came back 28 strong this time with Mrs. Strubinger as our sponsor. We had a sweater dance and bake sale for money making purposes for our small but prospective group. This year we selected as President--Dick McTucker, Vice President--Glenn Miller, Naomi Inman as Secretary, and Patricia Duff as Treasurer. Our Junior year we were becoming accustomed to the tricks of high school life and ready to enjoy ourselves. Naturally this was oneof our busiest years but also one of the happiest. We sponsored a couple ofbake sales and several dances after ball games. Selling candy bars and pencils became our hobby for making money. Financially making the grade with our pocketbook full enough to pay for a prom, we tried our luck at the big event and sure enough we had a wonderful success--the first prom in the new gym. Every- one had a wonderful time. (So they said.) Miss Myers served as our sponsor this year for 30 Juniors with Charles McCallister as President, Dick McTucker as Vice President, Mary Jo Fletcher as Secretary, and Nancy Bess Johnson as Treasurer. Here it is our Senior year so soon! Gosh, seems like we just started as Freshies. Now here we are working on our Annual and nearly ready for our finish—or beginning, I’m not sure which. Any way we’ve had a wonderful high school life with it’s happy and sad moments. We’ll remember them both for many years to come. During our Senior year we sponsored a couple of bake sales, as well as a very beautiful Christmas formal in our new gym. We had several dances after home games and had lot of fun. Mrs. Watson was our very patient sponsor our last year, with Naomi Inman as President, E. C. O’Brien as Vice-President, Charles McCallister as Secretary, and Nancy Johnson as our Treasurer. Physically we're leaving our dear old Alma Mater, but in our hearts I’m sure we’ll always remember the dear old days at Barry High. 19 I V i a add Pt J T t K Of 1952 PRESIDENT Rodney $mith Marvin Likes Betty Fletcher Nancy Ward Harold Gleckler Marion Rector Dick Burgdorff Bruce Smith Faith Kenady Jerry Schaell Myrtle Oitker Dorothy Mathews Charles Ervin Joe Harris Annabel Reel Don Wallace iuft' Jane Bullington Marjorie Schultz Marilyn Losch _ % } ‘ ja H Marilyn Grund Bob Smit i Betty Hendricks Richard Offers 1 if C Jeffers U Barbara Koeller i Billy Rupert Averill Lawson Charles Lippincott .1 .

After the dinner, Captain Kidd (E. C. O’Brien) presented a portion of his crew. From the crows nest of Pirates Hideout, he called forth his first mate. Junior class president, C h a r 1 e s McCallister. The leader of captives, Captain BillCroxville, (president of Senior class), responded and revealed his “Isle of Treasures. In jubilation, the pirates (juniors) celebrated with their anthem, Across the Sea, while the pirate maids (Nancy Johnson and Anna Lou Belts) stood the retreat with “Red Sails in the Sunset. Afterwards the crew herded the captives to the high school gymnasium, where they walked the plank guarded by line into Treasure Island. There centered under a clump of palm trees lay Captain Kidd’s treasure chests, spewing forth its gold and jewels; midst the bones of victims gone before, stood a hugekettleof punch ladled out by free-booters. Tothe north in a shaded cove reclined Jack Everette’s orchestra which furnished the best music ever offered for a Junior and Senior Prom. 2� Tama tic 1950 was a very successful and happy year for those entering the Declamatory contests. We only hope that in future years Barry will receive many more honors. The first contest was the District held at Roodhouse and White Hall on February 25, in which we had six individual entries and the play. Those who entered are as follows: Francy Wheelan (Dramatic The Heritage of Wimpole Street,” by Robert Knipe; Bill Croxville (Oration) “Atomic Age,” Bob Williams (Extemporaneous): Harry Miller (Original Oration) “What is Soil Erosion, Joanne Moyer (Verse); Jane Bullington (Humorous) The Waltz byDorothy Parker; Andante (Play): Dr. Andrews, Bill C roxville; Martha Lawrence, Francy Wheelan; David Lawrence, Bob Williams; Alice (the maid), Naomi Inman; Bruce Lawrence, E. C. O’Brien. Francy received second in her dramatic reading, Bill placed second in his oration. Bob took second place in extemporaneous and the play received third place. By placing at the District, these four entries were en- titled to enter in the sectional atMacombthe following week. In the sectional contest at Macomb we received two honors. Francy and Bob both won second place which entitled them to participate in the State C ontest at Champaign. Everyone felt that this was a great honor for both individuals as well as the school. The state Contest was the one of great importance. Francy first placed so that she could enter into the finals and it was there that she placed second in the state. We all were certainly proud of her and as she is entering again this year we hope that she can win more and higher honors. The last contest which was the County, was held in Barry at the Baptist Church on March 31. Most everyone entered the County with the readings as they did in the District with the exception of a few. Bob Williams entered in Boys Dramatic giving “The Moon Is Down” by Steinbeck; Harold Gleckler entered boy’s humorous giving “Penrod” by Tarkington. As there were no openings for verse reading and plays, these two could not enter. rru On March 25, 1950, our music director, (Tenor solo), Without a Song; Charles Mc- John Lapan, entered twenty-two contestants Callister (Base solo). When Big Profundo in the district music contest. Out of the Sang Low C. twenty-two, five were entitled to participate in the State contest on April 28, and 29. Both Three contestants placed third. Nancy school and the director were very much Johnson, Melvin Sykes, and Robert Ray pleased as the five contestants also placed Gleckler. Melvin Sykes won second in both in the State. Those winning honors are as his piano solo and tenor solo, follow: Nancy Johnson (Piano solo), 1m- promtu by Reinfold; Melvin Sykes (Piano We are hoping that this year and in the solo), Sonata Pathelique No. 1; Robert Ray future we will have more students entering Gleckler (Baritone horn solo); Melvin Sykes and will receive more and hieher honors. 30 31 CAST OF CHARACTERS: Henrietta Barrett, young, pretty, vivacious with a good sense of humor...................Naomi Inman Milly, middle aged, buxom servant . . .

It was the first play to be held in our new gym and naturally there was a fine attend- ance. We rented our costumes from a company in St. Louis and certainly were pleased with the way they added much to our play. We hope every- one enjoyed the play as much as we enjoyed being a part of it. 33 The HUB, our school paper, is printed in two sections--the monthly and the weekly.

The let- termen were O'Brien, McTucker, McCallister, and Lip- camon. With these. Coach Flynn picked Dick Furniss to complete the quintet. Likes, B. Smith, R. Smith, and Har- ris make up the rest of the first team squad. The tigers won two and lost thirteen conference games. For our first game in the Milton tournament we drew Pearl, defeating them by one point. The score was 36-35. Our next game was with Milton, the team that was rated second in the tournament. We lost by a score of 36 to 28. Since this was a double eliminiation tournament, we again met Pearl. But this time we lost by a score of 38 to 32. The Barry Tigers also entered the Mark Twain Tour- nament at Hannibal, Missouri, but were defeated by Payson in the first game. In the second game of the tournament with O'Brien and McTucker on the disabled list, McCooey downed Barry 36 to 28. At the Regional Tournament which was held at Barry, the Tigers failed to come from behind as they battled the Pleasant Hill Wolves into an overtime period. The score ended by Pleasant Hill on top with a 3 point margin--43-40. The Tiger's baseball team, after securing a third place tie in the Conference last year, reported to their new coach, Harold Flynn, for their first workout. Among the returning lettermen were: Jack Bullington, Miller, Likes, McCallister, McTucker, R. Smith, B. Smith, O'Brien, D. Furniss, and Lipcamon. With these, and some other outstanding prospects, Coach Flynn mould- ed a championship team. He fielded the team something like this: McCallister, pitcher; Jeffers and B. Furniss, catching: B. Smith 1st base; R. Smith, 2nd base; Lipcamon, 3rd base; O'Brien, shortstop; D. Furniss, left; McTucker, center; Glen Miller, right; and Bullington, utility. In their intiial game of the season, the Tigers journeyed to Kinderhood to hand the West Pike nine their first defeat of the season, 8-2. After beating Perry on their home diamond, 7 to 2, they lost to Griggsville, there, 8 to 1. The tigers won their last scheduled game of the season 8 to 0. McTucker got ahomerun with no one on in the third. This left the western half of the con- ference tied between Barry, West Pike, and Griggsville It was decided that a play-off be held at Pittsfield. The first game pit- ted Barry against Griggsville the only team to beat them before. Coming from behind, Barry pulled in front to nose out the Ma- roons 8 to 6. O'Brien hit a home run in the 7th with no one on. Barry then played West Pike, and after stopping a late inning rally, squeezed out a 12 to 9 victory, to win the western half of the conference. Pearl, the eastern half winner, journeyed to Barry for the first of a best two out of three series to decide the conference championship. Barry edged them out in a tight game, 2 to 0. Playing the return game at Pearl, the Tigers won another close one, 2 to 1, capturing the conference championship. Mc- Callister's many strikeouts, and ability to pitch out of a tight spot was a great asset tothe champions, as he ended the season with a 7 to 1 record. FIRST ROW: Potter, R.

O’Brien, Vice-president; Jane Bullington, Secretary; and Delia Lock, Treasurer. We have had several meetings, the first being the try-outs for the new members who were: Jack Unsell, Lau- ra Williams, Dolores Pryor, Marian Rector, and Max Moyer. For their initiation they were to come to school dressed as some historical char- acter. That night they treated the old members to a wonderful chili supper at Mrs. Watson's, our sponsor. The rest of the meetings have been held in the English Room with Francy Wheelan acting as Program Chairman. On February 17, 1951, the County Declamation Contest was held in the new gymnasium in Barry with seven schools participating. Those who entered from Barry were Frances Wheelaa, Robert Lipcamon and Dolores Pryor. Frances received first place with her reading, Elizabeth the Queen , by Maxwell Anderson. Bob and Dolores did not place but their readings ranked high. Bob delivered the oration, Our Schools Have Kept Us Free , by Henry Commager and Dolores ably gave the comedy reading, Father Has A Bad Night , by Clarence Day. The following Saturday the District Speech Contest was held at Barry. We were certainly thrilled to have had the honor of having it at our school. The same people went out for District as for the County with the addition of two entries. Mary Jo Fletcher entered in verse reading receiving second place and Barry's Contest Play was entered and placed third. The cast of this play, Winter Sunset , by Robert Brome, was Jack Bullington, Naomi Inman, Frances Wheelan'and Bob Furniss. Frances also received second place with her Dramatic Reading.
