The work of the Paragould team
this year has been great success
and the honor that has thus been
achieved is due almost entirely to
Coach Ben l. Mayo, who has toiled
during the past three years to pro
duce a winner for Paragould. This
seasons delegation has been by far
the best that the local school has
had in& several years as shown by
the manner in which it triumphed
over the other teams of this section
of the state at the recent Blythe
willie meet and the way it was able
to demonstrate its strength against
the other schools of Arkansas. The
boys also come in for a share in
the honors as they have in most in
stances obeyed the every command
