Paul entered the new High School as a sophomore. After two years of cross-country running, he gained a place on the team which won the Mystic Valley League Championship, captained by John C. Davidson. Paul hopes to enter New Hampshire State College and continue struggling with education and running. He also plans to enter Diesel Engineering School for another five years. Here’s hoping the Diesel Engineering System will be a successful business. Rest of luck, Paul.
