Ninth Grade
Class Trip
The ninth grade at Oxbow
High School went on their
annual class trip to Montreal,
Canada on Friday, May 28th,
1982. The class was divided up
and went to see numerous
sights including various
churches.
The trip was all part of a
unit the ninth grade social
studies classes did on Canada.
Golf
The 1982 Golf season at
Oxbow High School has come
to a close. After six meets
including sectionals (a sort of
play-down) in Barre, Vt. and a
record of two wins and eight
losses (some meets had more
than two teams participating)
the team members and•their
coach Pete Ledwith, can relax
and look forward next season.
When asked how he thinks
the Oxbow Golf team will fare
in 1983, Ledwith stated that he
thinks they will do "quite
well" because the squad is
"only losing one senior starter
(Scott Knox ) ."
The members of the 1982
Oxbow High School golf team
are: Seniors, Scott Knox, John
Ertie and Mark Osgood;
Sophomores, Doug O'Donald,
Don bhearn, Charles Barton,
John Drugash and David

Fifield got credit for the win,

In the 14-4 win over
Rochester, the Thetford
Panthers staked their claim
on the Central Vermont
League championship title for
the second year in a row.
Although finding the field for
only six hits, they made them
count, building up a 7-0 lead
after two innings. The only
Panther to collect more than
one hit was shortstop Cricket
Doyle with two singles. Base
on balls and nine Rochester
miscues helped the Panther
cause. Sheila Fifield was right
on target, striking out eight
batters and allowing two
scratch singles in pitching the
distance.

WOODSVILLE-- It was a
hitter-sweet ending to a
season full of promises for the
Woodsville Engineer softball
team as they lost two of their
final three games of the
season. With the losses, they
also lost any hopes of post
season play.
In the Mascoma game, the
Engineers found their batting
eye that has eluded them so
often this year. Woodsville
streaked to an early 13-1 lead
after just three innings.
Mascoma struck for six runs
in the sixth, closing the gap to
14-9 but a five run bottom half
of the inning put the game
away for Steve Walker's
Engineers. Lisa and Leslie

Ninth Grade
Class Trip
The ninth grade at Oxbow
High School went on their
annual class trip to Montreal,
Canada on Friday, May 28th,
1982. The class was divided up
and went to see numerous
sights including various
churches.
The trip was all part of a
unit the ninth grade social
studies classes did on Canada.
Golf
The 1982 Golf season at
Oxbow High School has come
to a close. After six meets
including sectionals (a sort of
play-down) in Barre, Vt. and a
record of two wins and eight
losses (some meets had more
than two teams participating)
the team members and•their
coach Pete Ledwith, can relax
and look forward next season.
When asked how he thinks
the Oxbow Golf team will fare
in 1983, Ledwith stated that he
thinks they will do "quite
well" because the squad is
"only losing one senior starter
(Scott Knox ) ."
The members of the 1982
Oxbow High School golf team
are: Seniors, Scott Knox, John
Ertie and Mark Osgood;
Sophomores, Doug O'Donald,
Don bhearn, Charles Barton,
John Drugash and David

In the 14-4 win over

on the Central Vermont
League championship title for
the second year in a row.
Although finding the field for
only six hits, they made them
count, building up a 7-0 lead
after two innings. The only
Panther to collect more than
one hit was shortstop Cricket
Doyle with two singles. Base

WOODSVILLE-- It was a
hitter-sweet ending to a
season full of promises for the
Woodsville Engineer softball
team as they lost two of their
final three games of the
season. With the losses, they
also lost any hopes of post
season play.
In the Mascoma game, the
Engineers found their batting
eye that has eluded them so
often this year. Woodsville
streaked to an early 13-1 lead
after just three innings.
Mascoma struck for six runs
in the sixth, closing the gap to
14-9 but a five run bottom half
of the inning put the game
away for Steve Walker's
