5 35 QQDIBHEGQQQ-GCG' CROSS COUNTRY This year brought us recognition by Thirnwood Morganis being the state champion in the Prep School Division. We lost only two meets and these were both with Old Town. There are possibilities for a good team next year, as we are losing only one major runner. Harold Duran ,48 WINTER SPORTS TEAM The Hartland Winter Sports Team participated in five carnivals this win- ter. With the exception of the -carnival at Newport, the following schools were present at the meets: East Millinocket, Lee, Old Town, Skowhegan, Bingham, Mattanawcook, Monson, N ew 'p fo r t, Hartland and Solon. ' The most outstanding members of the team were Olin Salisbury, Maynard Rowe, and Maynard Yakemore. Robert Downs '48 BASEBALL u Coach Pippin started the baseball season with nine lettermen. The boys enjoyed a very successful season by cinching the league championship. We played M. C. I. and Monson, besides our regular league games. We won a trophy by winning ten out of our twelve games. The American Legion sponsored a banquet for us. During our season we were very fortunate in having our baseball dia- mond improved by the townspeople. We wish to express our thanks. Linwood Wheeler ,48 SOFTBALL Nearly every girl at H. A. goes out for softball. In fact, there are so many that two diamonds are used to provide for everyone at bat. Of course, after our team is chosen many must drop out. Now we will get prepared for our first game. What an exciting moment! Foxie is at the bat. Hooray. YShe is on first. Everyone heaves a sigh of re- lief when we are sure our runner is safe. Up steps another one. A hit for a home run. Gee, what a perfect game! The next game is to be played out of town. There is always our problem of transportation. Now, this .is the day. What . . . no cars yet? Finally at the last minute we manage to persuade a few boys to give in and furnish their cars. Arenit we lucky? Even though we lost our trophy by losing our final game with Corinna, we all enjoyed every trip. May the girls in the future have as much fun. Ruth Page ,48 TRACK Although track has never been a popular sport at H. A., it 'had a fairly successful season last year. A squad of about 15 boys turned out for regular practice, but were handi- capped by not having a track to obtain the proper practice on. The team participated in the Bates Relay Carnival and the State Meet at Colby College. Members of the team placed at each meet. We won a de- cided victory over Monson Academy here at home. Other meets were held at M. C. I. with Kents Hill, Lawrence High School of Fairfield, and Monson Academy. Plans are now being made for the construction of a track in back of the Academy. Mr. Knight is coaching track this year and he expects, with the full co- operation of each member, a winning team. Mike Yakemore ,48
