CHRONICLE

"The Blaze" wi ll contain a sertion on the g raduati ng class with pictures of each se nio r, a unit on the various activities with pictures and write-ups on each, and a spe\ cial events division. This will r elate the major eve nt s of the year and w ill be illustrated w ith candid pictures taken by the boys.

Palmer Sessel w ill add a little life to the book with some of his fine ca rtoons . We hope this book will be well r eceived and will be as much fun to read as it has been to compose.

Students who have attended the Summer School can be heard to say, "It was the best summer I can remember." It seems strange to hear a boy say that when school is involved, but! Here, the boys have an opportunity to "catch-up," on their academ ic work and also enjoy the pleasu r es of a summer camp.

The Summer School wi ll again be under the ab le leadership ,of M r. John H. Lucy of Vermont Academy, w ith the help of the following people :

1 1 On Satu~a~,se!~ ~o, ~t~~ns High of Claremont beat Cardigan by a score of 13 to 4 in a real game of baseball. In the first inning they got 2 runs and then we got 2.

After that Stevens really began to go tu town and in the fifth inning got 6 runs. The starting pitcher for Cardigan was Tom Yameen. In the fifth inning he was relieved by Jack Woods who finished the game.

On May 14, the Cardigan team beat Holderness J.V. squad by a score of 8 to 5.

The winning pitcher was John Bell. He allowed only three ball s out of the infield.

Anoth er man of the hour was Dave Bergeson who whacked a fast pitch out of the· park for a grand-slam home run in the first inning. Other top men were Jack Woods, Bill Dyer, Bill Seely and Frank Bliss who caught a great game. The man to make the last, out of the game was Frank Sharpe who whi le running made a fine catch in center fie ld .

May 17, the Carter Community Center baseba ll team played Cardigan at Williams Field in Canaan. The score was 18-15 in favor of Cardigan . The starting pitcher for ·Cardigan was Tommy Yameen and Jack Woods came in in th e fifth inning and finished the game. Some of the good hitters were Jack Woods, Bill Seely, Dave Bergeson . and J o-hn Bell.

On May 21, Cardigan travelled to Claremont to avenge its only defeat hy a score, of 10 to 3 over the Stevens High J.V. Bell pitched all the way b{1t had a little trouble getting started. In the fifth inning Cardigan exploded into a ct ion and really looked good. The weather was wa rm and the field in good condition. Both teams looked good.

On May 24, Cardi gan won its fourth consecutive victory over Ca rt er Community Center in Lebanon. The game was played at the Hanover Street School, the score was 17-8. Although the field was not in very good shape, it was a good game. In the sixth inning Ford, Stevenson, and Moore a ll got very f;ood hits which were hard hit. On the mound for us was Tom Yameen who- was relieved by Jack Woods in the sixth inning.

We sti ll have two games to be played against Junior High School and we hope they w ill be victories. At the m oment our standings are four wins and one loss in what has been a very successful season.

The pitching has been very good. Catc h ers Whitehead and B li ss both have worked wel l. The infield of ·Dyer, Seely, Captain Woods and Munro- or V\Tilliams at third has been relatively tight. The outfield composed of Schutt, Sharpe, Hanley or Stevenson has hit wel l and looked fast and sure defensively. This appears to be the best varsity team which Cardig an has had in some time. They a ll deserve lots of credit and praise.
