THE RECORD 31 Later in the fourth inning another run placed them in a 4 to 0 lead. Gorham tallied in the fifth with their only run. Smith and Pisperikos shared the mound work. Littleton 8, Whitefield 5 A somewhat scrappy Whitefield nine made enough trouble to keep the Crusaders down to eight runs for seven innings. Errors on the part of L. H. S. brought in most of the runs for Whitefield, but the hitting and pitching was strictly from the Littleton dugout. Red Laveau, pitching in his first game, went three innings of fine ball and then was relieved by Rudy Kimball. Littleton 14, St. Johnsbury Academy 3 Expecting stubborn opposition, the Sheddmen wasted little time in building up a lead. The first inning brought a grand slam of three runs for an early security. The all-round hitting by the Crusaders stacked up a total of fifteen hits bringing in fourteen runs to St. J's weak three. Bub' Smith hurled the whole game with nine strikeouts and allowed only four hits. As we go to press seven games remain unplayed-two with Berlin and Woodsville and one each with Gorham, Whitefield, and St. Johns- bury. FACULTY Front row, left to right: Daisy Bronson.

Girard, W. Lucas, R. Simons, C. Leader, R. Frazer. Back row: D. Buswell, R. Hastings, R. Christie, N. Lavoie, Coach Arthur Shedd. Spring brings many fine things, but the best is that nationally known sport of baseball. All over the country that feeling of throwing that old apple around becomes contagious again. And so it was?- With the 1946 season rapidly approaching, our new coach, Arthur Shedd, collected last year's squad for regular practice. In time the first nine were established in their respective positions: Catcher, Rudy Kimball, Pitcher, Bubba Smith, First Base, Nick Pisperikos, Second Base, Bob Cady, Shortstop, Bill Silver, Third Base, 'Shorty Mayhew, Left Field, Bert Perry, Centerfield, Bud Thompson, and Right Field, Chic Bilodeau. The team was well organized in playing heads-up ball and with continuous practice awaited the first match with Gorham High School. Littleton 19, Bethlehem 1 Not realizing what power the team possessed, Coach Shedd sched- uled a practice game with Bethlehem. The all-veteran team of Little- ton High had little trouble in subduing the Bethlehem Stars, by run- ning up 19 runs to their one in seven innings. The second team squad also saw action in the last two innings. Littleton 4, Gorham 1 The season opened with Gorham playing host to the Crusaders. Both teams were well balanced, and it was anybody's ball game. In the second inning L. H. S. started a rally which produced three runs. v
