£ occer With twenty-one anxious candid ates answering Coach John Symancyk ' s soccer call in Sep- tember, preparation for another fine campaign was begun — and a fine campaign it was ! The Smith Academy booters remained in contention in the Hampshire League for the majority of the sea- son, before closing it out with a few tough losses, while chalking up a record of five victories, one tie, and four losses. Among the five wins was an exciting triumph over the eventual cham- pion, Easthampton High School. David Punska led the team offensively with six goals. Additional help was given by Walter Pelis, who tallied three times, and Jim Southard, Peter Pelc, Joseph Kalentek, and Tom LaBelle, each of whom tallied once. Defensively, Bernard Wilkes, Peter Pelc, and Tom Michalpwski glittered. Others showing a defensive fighting spirit were James Majeskey, Russell Brown, and freshman goalie Martin Wilkes. Coach Symancyk ' s ready reserves consisted of Ed Malinowski, Richard Petrowicz, Bern- ard Pelis, Donald Petcen, Billy Burke, and David Byrne. David Hoffman served as manager. The school can be duly proud of Peter Pelc, who made one of the all star teams in a local newspaper, and Tom Michalowski, who was selected as an alternate.
