Description
Members of the 1942 Hartland Academy Central League Championship Cross Country Team are seen here in their team photograph. In the front row, from left to right, are: Howard Reopelle, John Gee, Gerald Nichols, Malcolm Burrell, Keith Tapley, Donald Nichols, Herbert Baird, and Leslie Sherburne.

On February 17 1942, the team added another trophy to their cabinet by defeating Hermon High School 29 to 23 at Hartland. This was not an easy year for sports. It was war time, tire and gas rationing reduced the number of games that the teams played and that fans attended; some events were cancelled all together.
Hartland Academy was incorporated February 11, 1832 as St. Albans Academy. Years later the town boundaries changed and it was renamed Hartland Academy.
