The football team is being deprived of its ends, Mosley, Mutti, Stan Nacewicz;a tackle, Pond; its center, Abrams; and its fullback. Benoit. These members played an important part in the school's best football team to date.

ADIEU AGAWAM Today the bells are ringing out To sound our sad adieu; And Alma Mater now doth say Her fond farewell anew. We gaze again upon the past, Of things that were well done.— And then our school days sink at last, A brilliant setting sun. The golden liells peal out tonight To echo happy hearts; For Agawam High, the famous one, On us has left its mark. We pledge ourselves to do our l est And show that ’32 Will struggle upward in Fife’s test For fame and triumphs new. ANGELINA CASTELLI
