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.
