SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL Payson High School's sophomore basketball team enioyed a very pleasant and successful season this year. They won a good percentage of their games and were noted for their hustle and good sportsmanship. The boys on this year's squad were very even and all eighteen boys received a great deal of play time. All the boys made good progress and they are sure to be a great help on our teams in the future. One of the fine characteristics of this year's team was their ability to relax and have fun as they went about their work. The many comics on the team made for an enioyable time by all. Congratulations to the team and coach for a great iob.
