Basketball For the last three years South Paris High School has had excellent basket- ball teams. Where does such a small school as ours get its seemingly inex- haustable supply of stars? The ans- wer is the J. V.'s. In the three years Head Coach Grif- fith has been here, Paris has developed many good ball players from the J. V. ranks. From this year's varsity, Le- Blanc, Martin, Mason, Johnson, N. Dill- ingham, Crooker, Wentworth, and Dav- is have all come up from the J. V.'s. Three of these, Leblanc, Johnson, and Wentworth played on the starting five. This year's J. V. coach was Mr. Chandler, our head football mentor. The squad is divided into five different teams, and each of them have a chance to play in every game. By giving each boy a chance to play, everyone is given an equal opportunity to show his wares and try for that much sought after position on the varsity. The teams they played this year are as follows: Gould, Stephens of Rumford, Norway and Hebron twice, and Mex- ico, Scarborough, and Hallowell once. Considering the system used, their four wins-seven losses does not seem like a bad record. Under our present system, good sportsmanship is also emphasized so that these boys may represent Paris High in the future in a way that will be a credit to our school.

points at the half. South Paris came back and took a two point lead at the end of the third period. The final quar- ter was a thriller with Norway going out front by one point. With two min- utes to go LeBlanc scored on a long shot to put us back in the lead. Paris then froze the ball for the remainder of the game. Paris-Wilton Tournament Game In our tournament debut this year we lost a hard fought game to Wilton by the score of 54-44. The Cardinals started the first period in perfect form, leading by eight points at the end. Then the roof caved in, with Wilton running us all over the floor to go ahead at the half 31-28. The third period saw the Wilton Eagles continuing their scoring. Both teams played even in this period with Paris getting 8 points and Wilton 9 to win the game and eliminate us. Le- Blanc with 12 points and Bailey with 10 points were our high scorers. Paris-Mexico Playoff After breaking even in two games' with Mexico, both by only one point, everyone expected the close game that this proved to be. Paris jumped to a, 4 point lead at the end of the initial' period and then, as in the tournament, they fell behind and were down four at the half. Mexico came back after the half and widened the gap to 7 points, 37 to 30. Mexico managed to hold a 4 point lead and won 42 to 38. Snow was our high man with 22 points.
