PITTSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL T939 BASEBALL This year our baseball team is going places. Not only did ten veterans report on the first call, but eighty other candidates signed up. With so many vet- erans backed up by this great number of newcomers the team has a good fielding combine and the best ofpitching, although the batting strength is a question mark. The pitching is bound to be good with veterans John Simeno and Dan Corrigan i'n form, aided by the sensational sophomore, Carl Heidel. The rest of the battery, the position of catcher, will be filled capably by Sam Russo. The infield will be great on defense, being led by Captain Pete Ocheano at second base, backed up by Art McGill at first, Joe McGill at third, Joe Dottavio and Chick Evans. The schedule is as follows: May May May May May May June June June June june Williams College Frosh Drury Adams Bennington at Dalton at St. Joe Dalton Drury at Adams at Bennington St. Joe Williams 2--Pittsfield 1 Drury 5-Pittsfield 4 Adams 7-Pittsfield Bennington 1-Pittsfield I4 Dalton 15-Pittsfield 9 St. Joe 6-Pittsfield 8 Dalton 6-Pittsfield I2 one hundred twenty-seven

1939 H. M. S. PINAFORE TRACK Pittsfield High's track team has made a fine start for a successful season. On May 6, the team journeyed to Sheffield to avenge last year's defeat by Berk- shire. In the 100 yard dash Winthrop Evans, brother of the former P. H. S. athlete, Buddy Evans, took top honors, and Ralph Renzi came in third. After taking second and third places in the mile, Pittsfield took four firsts in a row: Ed Bailey won the 440, and Bill Peirson, the half mile, Captain Al Carletti then took the high jump with a jump of five feet, and Gentile pole vaulted IO feet for the fourth successive first. Berkshire then outdistanced our boys in the broad jump and javelin throw. Renzi took the shot put event and Pittsfield, with one event to go,led 50-49, exactly the same score as last year. The relay team of Conti, Mele, Carletti, and Evans, with victory up to them, came through to give Pittsfield an additional five points and the meet. In a triangular meet with the Williams Freshman and Drury, Pittsfield came out second best. Win Evans, nicknamed Wings , came through in fine style to take the 100 yard dash and the 220. Captain Carletti, forcing Tuttle ofWilliams to five feet six inches, took second in the high jump. Pittsfield did well to take 29 points from the older, more experienced college boys, who won with QOM points. Led by VVin Evans and Al Carletti the boys in the Purple and White took the eighth annual Greenfield Meet. Evans, setting a new meet record of IO.3 seconds in the 100 yard dash, finished fully ten yards in front of Renzi, who placed second. Wings then went on to take the 220 yard event and the broad jump with 20 feet, 2 inches. Captain Carletti, with a leap of five feet six inches, won the high jump. Conti and Bailey placed second and third in the 440. Senger took second in the mile and Procopio second in the half mile. As this book goes to press, Pittsfield High has a fine chance to take the Western Massachusetts track title. Q GIRLS' SPCDRTS The class of 1939 has an exceptional girl athlete-Mary Popp. The highest award that a girl can win in athletics is a monogram. To receive this award one must gain four letters, and this is not an easy task. Mary received not only one monogram but twol This is the second time this has happened in the annals of P.H.S. girls' sports. She won three letters for being bowling champ for three years.
