Girl’s Basket Ball Much interest has been shown in former years in girls’ basket ball of St. Paris high school, but this year the girls exceeded all expectation and won the re- spect of their followers. The girls’ team finally reached the high goal which they have striven to attain in these former years by winning the county tournament.
