Each player did his share and starred in at least one game. Attendance was very impressive although all our home games were played at Lake Shore, Eve miles away from the Paxon vi- cinity. Surviving some tall competition, Paxonites were proud that the team met them on equal planes.

His invaluable serxices to Paxon gained for him the respect and friendship of his athletic patients. A familiar figure at most sports events, the doctor de- voted much of his time to the welfare of Paxon s sportsmen' this voluntary aid was deeply appreciated. We are indebted to this outstanding member of our com- munity for his well-rendered assistance that will not be soon forgotten.
