Only two veterans remained from last year's successful squad, Bunoski and Steinhoff being the only mainstays. It seemed to all the fans that W. H. S. would have another green baseball team. In the first game of the season after trailing Adams for 9 innings, they came out victorious. Victories continued for the first four games, and after j ourneying to Bennington they lost what seemed to be a runaway game to Bennington High. One feat which this year's team has accomplished is, it has knocked off the Adams nine in home games, something that has not been done by a W. H. S. nine for a number of years. To climax a successful season the team has hopes of knocking off the Tunnel City aggre- gation. M M M M M MQMQ 31 MWMQM M M M M

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.

CLASS HISTORY LASS of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-Three, your Historian greets you! and bids you turn today and view with me the pathway trod by our aspiring feet during the four years we have been that awe-inspiring body, the class of '33. A more accomplished Historian than I, might inject romance and glamor even in a class history, but in this as in other things I am not proficient. How- ever, I shall do my best to draw as fair a picture as possible of the years spent in Williamstown High School. In September 1929, about forty very fresh freshmen were marshalled together in Room 6 and under Miss Towle's capable hand, with the assistance of Miss Deans, Miss Holt, Mr. Flinton, Mr. Clark and others, we soon settled down to a routine of study, interspersed, with not infrequent visits to the office, and other details of minor note. During the first year we elected no officers. Eldred Torrey, Margaret Boyd, Robert Darling, and James Steinhoff, however, represented the class on the Junior Student Council. Richard Burns was elected Dues Collector. Several members of the class joined the Glee Clubs, perhaps in order to let off steam if the sounds which issued from the assembly hall at different times be rightly judged. Upon returning the next fall we were put in the charge of Mr. Gagliardi in Room 8 where we proceeded immediately to make all possible noise, and by thus nearly caused Miss Cole to become the victim of a nervous breakdown. Fearing we might have no class officers again this year, We elected imme- diately, awaiting or asking the permission of no one. Thereupon as the two upper classes had not yet elected officers, we found ourselves under the neces- sity of electing them over again. Miss Holt was chosen class adviser, Eldred Torrey, Presidentg Margaret Boyd, Vice-President, Herbert Dupell, Secre- tary, Richard Burns, Treasurer. On December 21st the annual Christmas Dance, sponsored by the class, was held in the gym and was voted a great success. Those in charge of the arrangements were: Betty Green, Madeline Duval, Harriet Young, and Katherine McNicol. Miss Deans, Miss Holt, Mr. Gagliardi and Mr. Flinton were the chaperons. In January the class held a sleigh-ride which was generally attended by the class. Miss Holt and Mr. Flinton were the chaperons. The party returned to the Cafeteria and had refreshments. During the year Robert Davis, Julia Godfrey, Blanche Goodermote, Eleanor Dorwin and Elva Miller left school, the class deeply regretted their departure, but it gained three new members: Margaret Burnett of Cambridge High and Latin School, Ruth Nightingale of White Hall, New York, and
