THE CHRONICLE 49 GIRLS' JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL M. Doiron, B. Thayer, R. Doughty, P. Conley, H. Verrill, C. Swallow, J. Edmunds, J. Curtis, M. Gordon, J. Russell, Miss Laverty. The South Paris Junior Varsity girls started their season against the Bridg- ton lassies in the Paris gym. The girls seeing action in the game were Swallow, Edmunds, Doughty, and Thayer for forwards, Conley, Curtis and Russell for guards. The score at the end of the first quar- ter was 12-2 with the Paris girls in the lead. But by the end of the second quarter the Bridgton girls seemed to have found the basket and brought the score up to 12-11. The third quarter proved to be very interesting. At the end of the quarter the score was 17-17. The first part of the fourth quarter the score remained close, but in the closing minutes the Bridgton girls pulled away, and the game ended 29-23, with Bridgton the winners. Doughty was high scorer with 10 points. A few weeks later the girls traveled to Bridgton. The girls playing in the game were-forwards: Edmunds, Thay- er, Doughty, Verrillg guards: Gordon, Conley, Curtis, Russell, Swallow. The first quarter our girls held them and the score was 4-4, but for the re- mainder of the game it was Bridgton all of the way. The final score was 30-10 with Bridgton winning. The good school spirit shown by the girls throughout these games gives much credit which the scores do not indicate.

THE CHRONICLE 51 VARSITY CHEERLEADING N. Kelleher, J. Curtis, B, Bennett, E. Gay, B. Hall, J. Davis, B. Gammon, C. Conant. Led by their head cheerleader, Bev- erly Hall, the varsity cheerleaders met early in September determined to up- hold the high tradition of last year's squad. Beatrice Bennett and Bertha Gammon returned as veterans: and Charlene Conant, Eleanor Gay, Nancy Kelleher, Joanne Curtis and Janice Dav- is came up from the Junior Varsity squad. Strenuous practice sessions, directed by Beverly, resulted in new songs, cheers and routines that enlivened the pre-game rallies held at assemblies. The girls cheered at each football game of the season and led the torch light parade on the eve of the Norway-Paris Game. At the opening of the basketball sea- son the cheerleaders featured their new maroon and white uniforms. The girls, who chose their pattern and cloth and made the uniforms themselves with the help of mothers and friends, raced wild- ly against time to complete the outfits before the first basketball rally. Money for the cloth was earned by a food sale, sponsored by the P. T. A. and two vic- tory dances. The thanks of the squad goes to Mrs. Seymore Card, Mrs. Marion Fields, Mrs. Donald Bourgois, Mrs Marjorie Downing and Mrs. Henry Judd for their help with the uniform project. The resourcefulness and effort shown by the cheerleaders this season has been appreciated by the teams, coaches, and students of Paris High School.
