The team was entered in the Valley Wheel League composed of West Spring- field, Ludlow, Agawam, Enfield, Monson, and Easthampton. At the conclusion of the league season, Easthampton was found securely lodged in third place. West Springfield held undisputed possession of first place, while Enfield held down second place. During the whole season we met different teams eighteen times. We won nine games, and lost nine games. Some of the most notable achievements were the defeats handed Palmer 18-12 and 20-18, and the hard fought contest between St. Michael's and the locals, when the latter team managed to hold St. Michael's to four floor baskets. They established an enviable record when they held Enfield High to one lone basket during the whole contest. The team was composed of the following players: Captain Desmarais, Boiven, Bain, Craig, Pacocha, Perzan, Navickas, Newton, Greensmith, Ga- browski, Lizotte, and Milashesky. Craig, Navickas and Wagner were forced to leave the team during the season because of scholastic difficulties. The outstanding players were Desmarais, and Perzan. Desmarais was cx- tremely fast on his feet, and was very hard to hold at bay. Perzan stood out because of his brilliant jumping and his ability to score from awkward positions. Pacocha, Bain, and Boivin were other notable players, who lent their every abil- ity to aid in teamwork. The second team should also be complimented. They worked hard and were mostly responsible for the success of the first five. Greensmith, Gabrowski, Lizotte, and Milashesky were outstanding performers on the second five.

Euclide Desmarais was the only person to make any points. He won the 100 yd. dash, running the event in 10 4X5 seconds. Desmarais also represented the High School at the County Fair, in North- ampton, last fall. He won the 100 yd. dash, running the heat in 10 115 seconds. He placed third in the 440 yd. run, and fourth in the broad jump. Considering the lack of training advantages, the track men have done an excellent job. BASKETBALL Coach Reed has done it again! . For thc last few years, we have had excellent basketball teams representing Easthampton High School. This year was no exception. With but one letter man back, Coach Reed built up a team worthy of meeting any quintet in this part of the state. This year's team built mostly of new material. It was not only a well- coached team, buta team composed of grit and fighting spirit. Forty

Modest and retiring in disposition, thoughtful and obliging in expression, she revealed the genuine- ness of her inner spiritual life. Her active interest in several community organizations showed marked ability for leadership which was denied further development by her untimely death. Besides members of the family and relatives, Louise left a large eirele of friends to mourn her death. 'filed of the living, in whose eyes Unveiled thy whole creation lies! All souls are thine, we must not say That those are dead who pass away, From this our world of flesh set free, We know them living unto theef' 3111 Hlvmnriam FRANCIS PARDA 1929-1933 lVhat use are words when one of us Has east aside the cloak of earthly life? What words, what song, endear his memory might? Not words of praise nor songs of glory. But thoughts of love and bonds of friendship, The sweetest standards of human kinship. These, above all, our friend possessed For these his memory will be pressed Close to our hearts, which, because they are mute, Silently and lovingly pay him this tribute. Member of Class of '33,
