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.

THE CHRONICLE SKI TEAM First Row H Robbins, O. Colby, C. Trask, G. Turner, J. Merrill, T. Kimball Mr Small Second Row L Beck, T. Brown, G. Downing, J. Caldwell, J. Seeley F Hall L Strout R Fabiszewski, Mgr. Paris decided to take advantage of the abundance of snow this winter by fielding a winter sports team with Mr. William Small as coach and Buddy Col- by as captain. About fourteen boys came out at the start with a few chang- es as the season went on. Practises were held at Bryant's Hill in Paris and at the tow on Emerson's Hill in Norway. Paris participated in five meets and made a good showing in all. They split two meets with Buckneld, losing the first in North Buckfield and winning the second in Paris. They also lost to the Hebron Reserves in a close meet. At the state meet and at the Buckfield carnival several of the skiers made good showings, but the team score was down. Buddy Colby and Larry Beck were our best all round skiers, while Cliff Morse and Jimmie Merrill made a good show- ing in cross country.
