PARIS HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

| INC cHdHSe IN time seemed little
early, but teachers and pupils. with
very few exceptions, were on time
Monday morning, at the City School
The attendance is splendid, now
almost 1000 record will be reached
this month. Practically all chill
dren will make their promotion In
June and little bad results will he
felt from the "fiu."
The students have realized that
they must work harder than during a
normal year, and they have, and the
results are fine. All work outlined
for the year will be completed and
on time.
The basket ball season has closed
as FAR as games are concerned, but
the interest in it is still alive. The
results of the girls tournament held
here the 14th and 18th of March
gave the first honors to the Licking
ton team and second honors to Paris.
The cups were ordered promptly and
are now being engraved by A. ].
Winters & Co. The presentations
will be made during the present
week, 1T is hoped, and it will be an
occasion for congratulation to the
coach, Miss Bannister, the efficient
song and yell leader, Miss Porter,
squad and all of those who contrib
uted in any way to make this such
a delightful and successful season.
While the boys will not be award
ed a cup this year, their work de-
serves much praise. Unfortunately
their tOurp mont u,oC plovod ot -
ington at the same time at which the
girls was played here, so 1t was not
possible to give them the loyal sup
port they deserved. They defeated
Georgetown overwhelmingly and put
up a splendid fight against Somerset.
There seems to be no reason why
Paris boys should not carry off the
State championship next year, as the
Paris girls did this year.
But probably more interesting to
both the boys and the girls than
either of the cups, are the sweaters
which have been ordered for them.
The girls will be given white Brad
ley sweaters with orange and black
letters and the boys will have Brad
ley athletic sweaters of orange and
black, with the official basket ball
letters. These sweaters have been
ordered by Mr.. John Davis and will
be here very soon. Aside from their
intrinsic value they will prove a most
enjoyable souvenir of breathless mo-
ments, hair-raising incidents and de-
lightful comradeship. They will also
serve as links in the chain of men,
cries, which bind High School grad
yates to their Alma Mater.
Within the next ten days school
garden work in the City School will
be organized The United States
Is emphasizing this
work more now than ever before,
and is urging every city in the Unit
ed States to do her part. 1t is the
plan of our own City School to have
every child in the school interested
in raising garden. Garden seeds
are now being collected from every
a supply of seed. If you
have a vacant lot or an unused gar
den please report to the City School,
that we may make use of 1t. We
shall appreciate this very much and
you will be rendering the community
/ real service.
