TIDACIY For the second consecutive year Arms won the Class B track championship at the Greenfield Fair. Arms came out on top over South Deerfield, Orange, and Charlemont, in contrast with the 1937 meet which included only Arms and Orange in Class B. The point gathering started in the first event when Peter Ferrari took first place in the novice 100-yard dash. At the half way mark Ferrari was quite far back of the leaders, but he put on a surprising finish to pass everyone. In the 100-yard open dash, two backiield men from the football squad showed their speed, as Henry Giguere and Harper Gerry finished first and second respec- tively in an eyelash finish. Alvin Pratt added another first place by leading the half milers home, running an Orange rival into the ground in the last fifty yards. Deerfield High had been keeping pace with Arms up to this stage, but a second place in the running broad iump by Gerry, and second and third in the shot put by Don Alden and Art Tumer, and a tie for third in the high iump by Giguere and Gerry, added enough points to give Arms the meet be- fore the final event, the relay. To make the day complete, the relay quartet coasted home in first place. Giguere and Gerry figured in a triple tie with a Charlemont iumper for third place in the high iump, but as they had both accumulated medals in previous events, they passed up any claim on the medal, and it was awarded to Charlemont.
