MATCHLESS Kneeling, front: K. Cook. 2nd row: C. Thompson, K. Drake, K. Williams. Standing, 3rd row: Y. Cook, S. Pawlowski, K. Horn, D. Bump, B. Johnson, C. Sharp, J. Pickell. Back row: D. Bump, Coach Cook, P. Neer, G. Dwyer. Who were those people in gold knickers and green shirts buring up the diamond? None other than the N.A. Girls ' Softball team. They fin- ished very well, with only two losses for the regular season. Coach Cook would like the team ' s victorious op- ponent to remain anonymous, but for the record, it was Morenci. The team reached the finals in dis- tricts before being defeated. But they went out in style, with Anita Fry hit- ting home runs both times at bat in that last game. One team member said she was pleased with the performances of the rookies this year. They came on strong, filling in gaps left in last year ' s team, which bodes well for the future of the team. Penny Neer and Dawn Bump traded off at first base, Yvonne Cook was at second, Kris Williams played short- stop, Kirstie Horn was at third, Anita Fry was catcher, and pitchers were Kay Drake and Beth Johnson. As for the outfield, Karia Cook was in left field, either Kay, Beth or Diane Bump played center, and either Col- leen Thompson, Sherry Pawlowski, or Chris Sharp reigned over right field. Sidelined with knee injuries, Jenni- fer Pickell played an impatient spec- tator, and Glenda Dwyer kept stats. According to another spokesman, the team is anxiously awaiting next season. There seems to be a rumor circulating that Coach Cook himself may have to don a pair of those gold knickers the team wears.

Jr. High track is a growing interest in North Adams, as can be seen by the size of the team. With the earli- er attention and training, the possibility of a growing high school program is sound. The team had about four meets this year, with league teams like Pittsford and Camden. They even had a record broken by Scott Duby in the 440 run. Scott also ran the 220 and com- peted in the long jump. The mile relay team was also a notable stand-out, holding their own in first place. They were: Bryan Spratt, Darren Kittle, David Creek, and Mike Hull. Mike Hull also did well in another event, the high jump. People competing in other areas were Steve Pickell and David Creek in pole vault, Sherry Clark and Wendy Lynch in shot put, Don Rader in hurdles, and Lorraine Duby in the 440. Coached by Mr. White, the Jr. High team went to an all-league meet. The boys ' team placed first and the girls placed third. Front row: S. May, T. Cross, S. Clark, C. Petrie, K. Ellis, R. Brumar, W.
