THE BOYS AND
GIRLS TEAM PICTURES APPEARED IN THE PARIS
PARISIAN WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
CHAMPIONS IN THE RECENT HENRY COUNTY ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT, THE TWO TEAMS
FROM ATKINS-PORTER ARE PICTURED A WEEK LATE,
WITH THE PARISIAN'S APOLOGIES FOR NOT CARRYING
THEM
SOONER. IT SEEMS THE CHAMPS HAD EXPECTED
THEIR PICTURES IN THE PAPER LAST WEEK. THEY
SAY AT
ATKINS-PORTER THAT THE TWO TEAMS CARRIED THEIR
TROPHIES TO CLASS WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL
DAYS
AFTER THE TOURNAMENT - AND EVEN TOOK A SPECIAL
CLOTH ALONG TO KEEP THEM SHINED UP.
