Darling, Coach Sylvester, Mgr. Fleming MQW Coach T. R. Sylvester called out candidates for the football team the first day of school. There were plenty of new faces on the squad as the majority of the 1931 record breaking team graduated. Of the veterans Bunoski, Connors and Goodermote returned. The outlook for the 1932 team was quite vague owing to the small number of veterans who returned. The eleven at the beginning of the season was considered a green team but the opinion of the team changed as the season progressed. The most outstanding game of the season was the battle at Pittsfield with St. Joseph's. It was the most talked of and was considered the best game of football played on the Commons in Pittsfield. This year was the first year that a W. H. S. football team went through its season un- defeated. Another year should see another undefeated team as only one veteran, Jimmy Steinhoff will be graduated. Drury has been added to the long list of opponents for next year.

TACONIC BOARD Front row, left to right f B. Clark, B. Neyland, R. Breed, D. Wiles, P. Darling Second row - R. Burns, W. Noel, R. Darling M M This year the Taconic was awarded second rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, in a Class for school papers coming from schools from five hundred to eight hundred pupils. Considering that through some error it was classed with these school papers coming from much larger schools, we are very proud of the showing the Taconic made. This year the Board was cut down to ten members, each with particular work to do. It was found that the work could be much more quickly and efliciently done. Due to financial difiiculties only two issues of the Taconic could be printed this year. The first printed in November was a Political issue containing interviews with well-known Political Party leaders in Williamstown. A poll of the school was taken and printed also with various other articles written about former presidents. The second and last publication for the year was a school issue. It contained articles on the various departments in the school, and reports from the various clubs. There was also a sports Writeup, and a good poetry section. Although the Taconic has been seriously handicapped this year, it is hoped that with renewed vigor it may continue its work again in the fall. The Taconic Board wishes to thank especially its Senior members who are graduating for their untiring efforts this year, in making the Taconic interesting and worth while for the whole school.

BASKETBALL Front row, left fo right - F. Lemay, E. Perry, F. Connors, H. Bunoski Capt., E. Madden, G. Macmillan, R. Burns Back row 3 H. Dupell, Mgr., E. Green, J. Smith, G. Madden, J. Breed, H. Hart, F. Wilson, C. Steinhofi, L. Ostrander, T. R. Sylvester, Coach MQW This year the Maroon and White players had a tough season. Although the average of games won was not very high, nevertheless that average is no gauge of the team's fighting spirit. Almost every game in which they were defeated was lost by one or two points in an overtime period. The Williamstown team, captained by Henry Bunoski, never went down without a hard fight. It was a green team this year and the players were not accustomed to playing together. It was not until the very last of the season that the team really hit its stride. Everyone who saw the M. S. C. tournament - the large group there which represented our town is a tribute to the way Williamstown supports its team i certainly knows how good the team was then. The first night of the tournament W. H. S. easily overcame Smith Academy by a 35 to 25 score. Then in the semifinals after a terrific fight, the locals succumbed to Turners Falls 25 to 24 in another fatal overtime. It is interesting to note than in the finals Turners Falls defeated Deer- field 37 to 17. This score gives an idea of how close Williamstown came to taking the trophy again this year. The letter men were Capt. Bunoski, Steinhoff, MacMillan, Burns, Connors and Madden. Perry, Hart and Lemay also saw considerable service.
