II. S. We entered in 1915, one hundred forty strong. We came in crowds, vaguely signed our slips in bunches, wildly sought for class-rooms in fives and sixes. But such a brilliant class as ours did not long remain in ignorance of such minor things as class-rooms and periods. We had many social func- tions during our first year which attracted a great deal of atten- tion from the upper classmen. We successfully passed the first rung on our ladder of high schools days, and with a few excep- tions, looked hopefully toward the next. In our Sophomore year our members, eager to see and taste it all, soon gained admittance to all the societies; warbled with the most noted of them, debated with the most distinguished of them, soon had skinned knees with the roughest of them, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We sailed brilliantly through the snares and by-paths of Geometry and Latin. We surprised Miss Boland with the extent of our knowledge in regard to crawling bugs and wiggling worms, not to speak of the flowers of the field. ‘‘Rut those attained, we trembling to survey The growing labors of the lengthened way; The increasing prospect tires our wandering eyes; Hills creep o’er hills, and Alps on Alps ari � ’” Having arrived on the third rung of the ladder, we acquired the title of upper classmen, entirely beyond the realm of struggling Sophomores, but oh! how strongly akin to Seniors in our eyes! However, we were quite contented with our lot, second in dignity, because we were the ones to give the event of the year, the Junior Banquet. Oh! what woe when ’twas rumored that there was to be no banquet! When finally per- mission was given to hold it, we promised to make it as sinijde and as attractive as possible with the least expenditure of money. We did this because of the war and also because of the criticism which is heard every year regarding the lavishness of it. Some of the boys who entered with us made a much great- er sacrifice. Karl Smith and Ted Piper both enlisted, and Earl has now seen eighteen months’ service in T rance. Just recently Paul ITennis enlisted in the navy. Instead of the usual class play we blossomed forth with a “Stunt Show.” Each teacher had charge of a stunt, so each TILE ARENA 37 tried to mako his or hers the best; therefore when all the “bests” were assembled, the show was a decided “hit.” All the students took part and so all were interested, and gladly gave ♦their original ideas to further the cause. With all the talent •shown in this, we are sure our class play this year will be a success. With the passing of the Junior year we were eager for new fields to conquer. Another rung on our ladder was left behind us. With the acquiring of the name Senior, we also got the idea that Seniors need not study unless so inclined. Rut F resides—no such hopes; indeed, we must grind ahead. Basket ball helped to keep up the lagging spirits of some. A basket ball team composed largely of Seniors won great vic- tories, altho it did not win the tournament. We are looking for- ward to many busy weeks, the weeks that every active Senior thoroughly enjoys. From such a class as ours I am sure there will be many who will climb to the top of the ladder, since the top may be considered from many view points and ambitions. It is not the purpose of a historian to give advice, but in the exceptional case of an extraordinary class, I will detour from the trail followed by other historians in quoting these lines from Stanton: Tf you strike a thorn or rose, Keep a-goin’! Tf it hails or if it snows, Keep a-goin’! ’Taint no use to sit an’ whine When the fish ain’t on your line; Bait your hook an’ keep on tryin’, Keep a-goin’! flarian Humphreys, ’10.

Ihe old couple was very lonely that winter afternoon as they sat before the fire-place, though each tried to hide the knowledge of it from the other. It was their son’s birtli- dav, their only child, who had left them to go to fight for I nclc Sam over in h ranee. Xow it had been more than three months since they had seen or heard from him and although they assured each other that the next mail would bring a letter 'et they lx th secretly feared that the next post would bring sad (•dings. I hey lived in a secluded little village shut off from the rest of the world by towering hills and desolated except for the fast train which rushed through daily on its way to the city. The old home stood back from the street quite a distance, with a long avenue of trees leading up to it under which John and his friends used to play when he was a child. The sky was gray and lowering; the first snowstorm of the season was impending; and it promised to be a heavy one. It was just the kind of day to make one feel blue, and within the old folks were experiencing emotions in sympathy with nature. They had both been silent for a long time, looking into the fire and rapt in memories of their past happiness whim Johnny was home. What a homecoming they would give him if only God would allow him to return! They both sent up a little involuntary prayer for their boy. Finally the old man said, “Guess I’ll go up to the postoffice and see if we have any mail. There might lx� a letter, you know.” “All right, father,” the mother answered. “I’ll start sup- per right away so it will be ready when you get back.” She pulled out the table and had barely begun setting it when old Mr. Dewey bounced in with an alacrity which had lieen unknown to him for years. “Get my glasses quick, Mother,” lie gasped. “There’s a telegram here and I think maybe it’s from Johnny.” Mother brought the glasses and he nervously put them on, though not without dropping the yellow paper several times. His fingers trembled as he unfolded the precious missive. After much frowning and gesticulating lie said, “Mlother, T can’t read this; my eyes are twitchin’ as though they had the winks like they used to have when T was young.” Mrs. Dewey was little better off, yet she managed to make out these words, “Expect me home any day now. T have a grand surprise for you, too.” An expression of joy and thankfulness, that would win everlasting fame for an artist could he transfer it to canvas, THE ARENA 41 camo into the two wrinkled faces. The 1.1 man hastened into the front room and put on the victrola which had never been utsed since Johnny went away, the record, “When Johnny Conics Marching Home.” The words tilted and danced through the room with a new meaning; the old couple did not speak again hut stood with clasped hands listening to the wealth of song that filled the hare old kitchen. That night when the snow came, it covered a little home whose inmates possessed hearts which were in perfect harmony with God and the world. The next day when the train pulled into the station, two old people, their faces bright with eagerness, wen standing on the platform. Nor were they disappointed for down the steps came the same big, handsome John, who had left them two years before. When the first greetings were over they became aware of a fourth party standing quietly by. Oh, excuse me folks,” laughed John, “but this is the sur- prise. Please allow me to introduce my wife. Now don’t let’s talk it over here, but get home to that good old chicken and dumpling dinner which I know is waiting and for which I have been pining all these months.” After dinner when they were seated in front of the fire in the old time living room John began. “Well, you see it wa this way. T got over there and was getting in some pretty good licks when one of those German shells didn’t do a thing but lay me out. I guess I had a pretty close call, but then you see 1 had such a good nurse that T had to get well.” He reached over and patted his wife lovingly on the hand. Thus they sat talking through the long winter evening, re- calling the experiences of the two previous years, until the dying flames of the fire warned them that the hour was growing late.

I hen for some reason or other my guardian angel prompted me to look up, and low and behold ! I had been so absorbed in my thoughts that 1 had wandered out of my usual way and had strayed into a street in which I had never been before. As I looked up 1 saw a great glowing sign which read, “Past, Present, and Future Told. Also Anything You Wish to Know About Your Friends.” “Just the thing,” I thought and walked in. A short, slen- der, mysterious looking lady came forward. She had on a bright red dress with many black beads twisted around her neck and aims and around her head. Black jingling girdles and sashes adorned her slender waist. T looked at her inquiringly and then all at once I screamed, “ I helnia Shortridge, are you here ? hat are you doing? Atre my eyes deceiving me?” “Yes,” she answered, I’m here and I’m telling fortunes now. 1 always did have the power of seeing into the future; but everyone in Paris thought it was so foolish that 1 was forced to come to the city in order to make use of my sixth sense.” “Well, then you are the very person T want to see. T am lonely and homesick, and T crave to know just what has become of mv schoolmates.” Alright, come in to this room and T will tell you every- thing.” T followed her into the next room where she sat down, slowly swayed back and forth, muttered a few words and then the spell came over her. TTer eyes diffused, her face became strained, and she began in a dull far away voice, “T see dancing and hear music; yes, I see faces too; there is Charlotte Adams, Louise Lycan and Elizabeth Stepp, perfect wonders of grace and beauty. Mlarian Humphreys, now a great musician, furnishes music that inspires the dancers to greater beauty of interpretation with its hint of light breezes, green grass and the fresh sod of the springtime. Now, T see a great political crowd shouting for the social- ists and the Prohibitionists (of tobacco). J. TL Colwell, on the Prohibition, and R. Greenfield on the Socialist ticket are running for the presidency of the ITiitcd States. There is a great rivalry', R. Greenfield having promised the judgeship of the supreme court to Claude Coleman if she gets it and J. II. 43 THE ARENA Colwell having promised Hu ford C4 i 11 and Russel Dean both places in her cabinet. Then L see a stage; it is a vaudeville. Charles Twigg is the hero; E. Atlulliiis the lady who entrances all the men; Jane .Morris, the poor abandoned wife; Clark Bell, the faithless hus- band, and Irene Curl, the cute little maid who runs away with the butler, John Shields. Oh, look! Something has gone� wrong and there comes the stage manager, Carl Stewart. By bis skillful management and the art of the actors, the play goes on as if nothing had happened and the audience is ignorant of any mistake. The scene changes. I see Ivarl Black auctioneering the goods of Gladys Dawson who is selling out her home to go to Europe in order to organize a society for raising chickens and ducks in France. Louise ('ole, a buxom farmers wife, buys a piano very cheap, and Lucy Johnson, also a thriving farmer s wife buys a cook stove at a great bargain. Ellen Jenkins is there, too. She isn't buying anything, biit just came to see her TT. S. friends, whom she isn't able t see often except at sales and basket dinners, as she lives in the country also. Now I see there has been a great battle! Sam Doak an 1 John E. Askin have won for themselves everlasting names as military leaders by fighting against a wild tribe which was dis- covered in Ead’s Woods just east of Paris. Charity A. Samp- son and Anna Butler are showing their mettle as Bed Cross nurses. Carson Heim and Max Wright are famous doctors who are saving the lives of the wounded soldiers. Here is the circus tent. I see Anton Link, the clown: Clara Taflinger the beautiful lady who drives a Roman char- iot-, drawn by six spirited horses; Lucille Haworth, the en- trancing brown-eyed, bareback rider; M ax Hovers, the ring master; and Forrest Ryan, the cruel and fearless lion tamer. Behold! Xow I see the little village of Chrisman stretch- ing peacefully along the green fields. Ruth Gilbert, Mary Horsley, Merle Surber and Mable Stratton have all settled down here, after their strenuous II. S. days, to raise bantam chick- ens, Belgian hares and Jersey cows. Again the scene changes to dear old Paris. It makes my heart beat faster and the scenes appear more distinct as I look upon its dear old homes and shady streets, especially on beloved P. II. S. Here everything is changed although the freshies are .still green. Otis Daugherty has charge of the chemistry de- partment and while lie is not teaching he is working on an ex- periment in the laboratory with which he intends soon to sur- prise the world. 1 can not explain the whole process for the 44 THE ARENA terms are scientific and the process intricate, but it will be a wonderful uplift to humanity. Marguerite Rhinesmith has taken -Miss enz’s place, Belle Heim is teaching Latin, and Ethel Xewhart is showing the girls how to concoct delicacies which will tickle the palates of man. Let us leave here and go through the square. First, I see “Pearman and Son, Clothing Store.” Ralph has all kinds of education and has travelled all through Europe to perfect his ( ngineering course and then decided that his calling was clothes. Sherman Snobby was his valet while traveling, but now Sher- man has set up a tailoring shop of his own. Going around the corner I see the sign “Gibbons and Son.” John always knew more about adding up grocery bills than he did about algebra and geometry. Lucille Propst is the head nurse in the hospital which !s now in charge of Doctor Opal Vance. Thai girl was always meant for great things. Here is another sign, “Danc- ing Lessons Given at Armory, Helen Johnson and Hosannah Niles.” ithin the'courthouse an important trial is going on. The ease is as follows: Lois Forcum is suing Vera Gardner for damages. Vera paddled one of Lois’ children for catching her chickens and Lois wants damages. Lawyer F. Wilson is defend- ing Miss Gardner and Attv. Virgil Reed has charge of Lois’ case. The witnesses are Josephine Stotts, a poor widow lady now and Mary Trogdon, also a widow, who say the plaintiff’s children are perfect little angels with lovely dispositions just like their mother used to have. Miss Esther Hunter, also a neigh- bor lady, testifies that the defendant is right and the children are bothersome little things just opposite to angels. Judge Eu- gene Kelsheimer is much worried as to the outcome because he knows the jury will never reach a decision. Sheriff George Manning is having quite a bit of trouble keeping order and quiet on account of the extreme interest of the crowd in the proceed- ings of the trial. Paris citizens were made happy not Jong ago over the pleasing termination of two IL S. romances in the marriage of T.owell Richey and a dark-haired Junior who graduated in the middle of the year 1020; and Helen Vice and a young man who had just returned from service in the army. Now to return to the city. A large volume of smoke seems to indicate a factory; now it becomes plainer and T can see that it is one. Tt is owned by Ralph Gallagher, and instruments are made which can be fastened on students’ heads and know- ledge forced in by means of an air pump. Tt is a very compli- cated affair and hard to explain, but it is a great timesaver for both teacher and pupil. William Calvin made one of these too. 45 TILE ARENA but Ralph beat him to the patent office by a method which he learned in political economy class, so now while Ralph is en- joying prosperity, William still is bumping around in his little Ford. On a chatauqua platform I see Hazel Allen and Mary Helle Porter, who have specialized in vocal music and are now famous for their programs. Gertrude Easter and Mary Per- isho have established a modiste shop and Xelle Morrison is the beautiful and enchanting model who gives added charm to the garments. Margaret Moyer and Hilda Schneider have earned names equal to or maybe greater than Galli Ourci in the field of Operatic singing. And now I see yourself coming into my sight.

This include.1 every member of the class and did much to bring about a more united class spirit. The stunts were unusual and very cleverly given, due to the untiring efforts of our beloved instructor, Miss Dayton, assisted by several members of the faculty. The fol- lowing program was given: The Staff—The Human Yictrola' under the leadership of‘'Professor” Leslie Askin. Jack Knife—A Clown Dance starring Miss Charlotte Adams.

THE JUNIOR BANQUET—1918 A very successful event of the 1917-1918 school year was the banquet given by the .Tuniors to the graduatin'; class of 1 ■ 1 ■ . It was given on Af'ay 27 in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, and was a pronounced success. The national colors, red, white and bine were used for decorating the ball. The lights were hooded in red, the walls were covered with flags of the allied nations, and Japanese lanterns were suspended above the tables. The orchestra at one end of the room was hidden behind a bank of palms. At the entrance to the ball was a large arch, decorated in the Sen- ior colors and bearing the words, “Welcome, Seniors.” The tables, which of course were the main attraction, were arranged in the shape of crosses. At the appointed hour some two hundred guests, composed of the Faculty, Senior and Junior classes, and others who were fortunate enough to be invited, sat down to the three course dinner prepared by the ladies of the Christian Church. After this came a program of toasts. Buford (Jill acted as toastmaster. The toasts to the guests by Carl Stewart and the response to the host bv Louise Atoss were both well rendered. Other toasts were given by Donald Summers, Jane Hunter Col- well, Ivan Jacobson, Francis Clinton, and Sam l)oak from the student body; and Mr. Everett and Mir. Beecher from the fa- culty. A reading was given by Lucille Xuckles and the musi- cal numbers by Hilda Schneider, Margaret Moyer, Donald Summers and Helen Cumin were also sources of pleasure, and last but by no means least, the violin solo by Julia Wood. Following this the guests departed to the Armory Hall where dancing was enjoyed until the wee small hours of the morning, when the. guests departed, declaring tin banquet was an unrivaled success.

S. in the role of the unsophisticated Freshmen, so easier ly awaited by the Sophomores. Our coming marked the d dine, however, of that old custom of taunting and torment ins those poor unfortunates who were just entering. Some of our present members, soon asserting their individ- uality, became the leaders through whom we have come to pos- ses “that indefinable, unconquerable something,” which consti- tutes “school spirit.” Members were successful in becoming leaders in the literarv life of the school even in their first year. One member speak ing in interest of a debating club gained the honor of address- ing the assembled student body, which he did, to his credit. Another member won honors for herself and for her school through her delivery of a selection from “Ren ITur” at Charles- ton, and thereby brought back a gold medal signifying first place. Our Sophomore year was passed during a period of war when every one was called upon to sacrifice in order to win the war. We bought Libert v bonds, . S. S., joined the Junior Red Voss, and adopted a war orphan. Two of our members joined the navy, and on the whole, we were a patriotic bunch. Along with these activities we were almost a unit in our membership in the Athletic Association, and our class dues were regularly paid. The names of our members began to ap- pear on athletic lineups, and literary programs, and every one was a “booster” for the school. Socially, we have never missed the quarterly affair due us. We have participated in parties, sled-rifles, and other forms of entertainment. Our membership in the Junior Red Cross this year was one hundred percent. Some ten or fifteen of our athletically in- clined class-mates have become prominent on the football and basketball teams. Their work there is of that same typo re- sponsible for the progress of our class, and the school owes them no small amount of gratitude. Another feature which places the Junior class in the lime light is their presentation, through the Starland Theater, of the “Unbeliever” and “The Great Love.” Roth are masterpieces, and rewarded us liberally financially. Following the established custom, we expect to give a ban- quet to the Seniors later on. We also look forward to the pre- sentation of a class play under the direction of Miss Dayton, a loyal friend of every Junior. The effort should Ik a success Till-: ARENA 57 lor unusual talent is being manifested by many of our members. -Mr. Keith has been a worthy counselor, and through his care- ful handling of funds, the class has never failed financially. While we look forward to our Senior year with joy, we must east a glance back upon the past years. We entertain i •feeling of satisfaction that we have been behind every move- ment for the good of the school, for no member has ever re- fused when P. H. S. stood in need of his support. In the (‘lid no history can be written which expresses the feeling we hold for the class. Only those students and teachers who have helped in our enterprise and shared in our toils realize the value of that class “At whose sight all the stars, Hide their diminished heads.” L. Simons, ’20.

Kathleen Barr, a Freshman, had looked long and wistfully at Jimmie Burton, also a Freshman. After having had many misgivings as to his fickleness in matters of affection, she de- cided that he was the one and only boy in the world for her. Alter this decision, Kathleen lived in an ethereal world, scarcely coining down to earth except to bestow an occasional smile on Jimmie, which caused him to blush and made his heart go pit-a-pat. One day, however, Kathleen descended from that heaven- ly realm long enough to exclaim to some of her clmms, “Oh, girls, there’s going to be the swellest show at the Starland to- night. It’s Mary Pickford in ‘How Could You, Jean?’ Are any of you going? Pm just crazy to go.” Jimmie, who was sitting close by, heard her remark ami knew that this was his chance. Therefore he retired to tin cloakroom to count his change. lie decided that he would not be quite penniless after having taken Kathleen to the show, and moreover, he would have many sweet memories of this occa- sion. Hut when should lie ask her and what should lie say ? After careful deliberation lie resolved to ask her just after Algebra class. Jimmie sat in fear and trembling all through the pe- riod, trying to think what to say, wondering how he would feel if she should refuse, and, at the same time trying to listen to some vague nonsense al out x2-2xy-y2. K-K-Kling! The bell! Oh! what should he say! K-K-Kathleen,” he began, “w-w-did you get the second prob- lem ?” Oh, he had failed and failed miserably! Well, never mind, lie would ask her after Latin, and during Latin lie would practice his speech. All through the Latin recitation, he kept saying over and over, “Kathleen, T should very much like to have your company to the Starland tonight. Will you grant my wish ?” When the bell rang, Kathleen made a dash for the door. Jimmie rushed after her. “Kathleen, oh Kathleen,” lie called breathlessly, “wait a minute!” TTe tried to think of his speech, but all in vain, for it had fled. Determined not to fail a second time Ik blurted out, “Kathleen, will you go to the show with me tonight “Oh, sure!” «rushed Kathleen enthusiastically. “I was 7 “ crazv to go. TTow could you have known that T. wanted to go THE AKENA 01 s«� badly Kathleen’s conscience hurt her a wee mite for she had seen diimnie sitting close by in the Assembly when she had been talking to the girls that morning. However, she eased her conscience by reiterating to herself that all is fair in love or war. After supper that evening, Kathleen hurried up stairs and spent about an hour frizzing her hair, powdering her nose, and putting on her best clothes. “Mam-ma, mam-ma, come here ju3t a minute, please.” A few minutes later, Mrs. Barr appeared at the doorway “Why, Kathleen,” she exclaimed in astonishment, “what arc ;ou all dressed up for? You aren't going any place, are you ?” “Well, mamma,” answered Kathleen, “you see it’s just this way. Jimmie Burton asked me to go t6 the show with him to see Mary Pickford and I told him I’d go. I didn’t s’pose you’d care.” Mb's. Barr managed to mutter something to the effect that she did not care and hastily left the room. After a few mo- ments, Kathleen thought she heard someone laughing in the hall. Angrily, yet cautiously, she peered into the darkness and saw-----nothing. It had been only her imagination. A few minutes later Kathleen tripped downstairs, turned out the lights, and went to the window to see if Jimmie was coming. Presently she saw a dusky form in the distance. I p- 011 its coming closer, she recognized it as Jimmie and thought she could espy a paper parcel in his pocket! She hoped it was c andy for she had always longed for a box of chocolates. Hastily she turned on the light. Soon Jimmie was at the door. Kathleen asked him to come in and quickly she donned her best hat and coat. Cautiously she glanced at the parcel. Yes, it looked like candy, but if it was, why didn t he give it to her ? “All ready?” he asked cheerfully. Kathleen’s hopes fell. 11 was not for her. About fifteen minutes later they were entering the Star- land Theater. They sat about the middle of the left tier of seats. After a short time, two of Kathleen’s chums came in and sat down behind them. Hello, kids,” they exclaimed, and then ensued a great deal of tittering and giggling much to the embarrassment of Kathleen and Jimmie. Just then Kathleen heard a rustling of paper. Warily she glanced at Jimmie. lie was taking out the parcel. Tt wrs for her, after all. “Have some candy?” asked Jimmie. Oh, yes, T just love candy, especially Holly arden’s,” ex- THE ARENA C2 claimed Kathleen, glancing at the huge, pink-ribboned, two- pound box. “Oh, Kathleen, you know me,” came from the seat behind I hen, of course, Kathleen had to pass the candy around, to the evident amusement of the older people sitting near. dust at this point in the story being depicted on the screen, led, the hero, was rescuing Jean, the heroine, from an un- friendly cow. An audible whisper came from the rear which sounded like this: “O, wouldn’t Kathleen and Jimmie look sweet like that. Kathleen blushed to the tips, of her ears, and glancing toward Jimmie, saw that he was doing the same. As she turned to bestow a cold glare upon the offending girls, the huge, pink-ribboned, two-pound box of candy slid from her lap. Fortunately none of the chocolates were spilled, but Kathleen and Jimmie were further embarrassed, for all the people around them chuckled as if they were highly amused. After the show was over, they walked around the square to the Greeks. Here they had a “Lover’s Delight,” which con- sists of ice cream, cherries and nuts. Jimmie smartly remarked that nuts were quite appropriate to lovers, and them, realizing what he had said, added, “present company exclueleel,” which made it worse than ever. They then walked slowly home. When they arrived at the steps, Jimmie was silent for a few moments, when sudden- ly he saiel, “G-G-Good-night. Kathleen,” wheeled around, and hurried down the walk. “G-G-Good-night, Jimmie,” replied Kathleen as she has- tened into the house. Amy Greenfield, ’20.

THE ARENA G3 A GIRL AND HER HORSE Mildred Dillon, whose picture and that of her faithful horse, Rex, may be seen in another part of this book, furnishes an example of sheer pluck and grit that deserves special men- tion. This fifteen year old girl lives nine and one-quarter miles north east of Paris and she makes the round trip of al- most twenty miles daily in the manner shown in the “snap shot.” Miss Dillon was graduated from the Forrest school last year. She is carving the regular Freshman course and is a stu- dent of ability. She is never late at school and her per cent of attendance ranks far above the average. Recently Rex was sick and rather than have him traverse this distance, Mildred started out on foot. A kind man with a car picked her up and took her to her destination. Such determination is bound to win and we congratulate this little lady in finding a way to overcome difficulties. EVOLUTION.

Like a delicate flower we have weathered the storms and trials of our Freshman year, and have emerged transformed from semi-verdancy into true gold. So longer are we the subjects of the rude joke directed toward us, which we became so accustomed to last year, but on the contrary we are recognized as a class from which great things may be expected. Our scope of interest has not been narrow but has covered a wide field. Athletic material, which was not allowed to develop during our Freshman year, has steadily pushed itself into the foreground and our members have won places on the various teams. Already two of our boys are the proud possessors of the coveted football letters. Certainly they are an honor to their class as well as to their school. In a social way we have not lagged. Four splendid parties have added greatly to our zeal and class spirit. Speaking of ““class spirit,” school spirit begins in the class. A school cannot be unified unless every class is with it. We have done our l est to further the aims of our school and we hope they have not been in vain. It is not necessary to speak of our war record. We have done our bit like every other class bv subscribing to the various funds and loans and also are supporting a war orphan in France. Two of our boys, who went to France, have not yet returned and those who remained behind have tried to do what they could, even even if it does seem small, by training in the Cadet ( ompanv, and corporals and sergeants have been chosen from our ranks. I am not going to say, for it would not be true, that we are the best class that ever entered P. IT. S., for they are all fine, but T will say that we intend to leave behind such a record of which we need not be ashamed. Martha Logan. Lois loreum—“I’m afraid we’ll be late.

We had all heard the tales of terror relating the tortures of new Fresh ie and consequently were in a rather nervous state of mind. But we received a pleasant surprise. We were given such clear directions as to where to go and what to do that few got lost, and those who did were hunted up by the teachers. We learned the value of a program slip, we learned the advantages of reaching the school on time, and we learned tlu advisability of occupying our own seats on Thursday mornings. W e soon or- ganized our class and elected our officers. We had just be come well acquainted with High School when the ‘‘flu closed the doors of the school. We had a vacation, but not a very pleasant.one, as most of us suffered from this disease. Manv of us found when we reached school again that we had come upon another lesson, the necessity of making up work in ordei to cancel zeroes. We soon branched out in a social way b having a Hallowe’en party. Soon came November 11th, the memorable day of peace. W e are all glad, 1 am sure, that wo can have such an important event in the history of the worl I to brighten and impress upon our minds the memories of our Freshman year at Paris High School. In a short time the Red Cross began calling for memberships and the breslnnan class became one hundred per cent Tied Cross bv means ot voluntary contributions, and a very successful cooky sale. Using some monev that remained from the Red Cross funds we adopted a French War Orphan. After our Christmas vacation our class once more gave a party, this time in celebration of New ear s Eve. Close upon the heels of this joy came the semester exams, which proved a dreadful surprise to the Presides. Most of us come through this Critical Period triumphant, however. Sm..� of us have joined the literary and debating clubs and profited bv their meetings very much. We have all enjoyed our first year at P. H. S. and will come back next year with a firm de- termination to do our best, our very best, and nothing but our best. Carolyn F. Eads. ’22.

It is because of the Frcshies, of course. The class which entered in ,the fall of 11)18 has displayed an unusual amount of “pep” and enthusiasm. The parties, one of which we are privileged to have each quarter, have been looked forward to and enjoyed by all. Our programs have been original and entertaining, our games hila- rious. All too soon, the hands of the clock point to ten P. M. and. much to our sorrow, we are forced to say good-night—thus add- ing another chapter to the story of the social events of the lass of ’22. D.

Think what you’ll have to pay.” Then sin took a hairpin out And fixed it right away. We lost the back door key last week, ’Twas when the door was locked. Pop fumed around and said things till The neighbors were all shocked ; Then .Mom she got a hairpin out An’ poked, and pretty quick She had the bolt turned in the lock. The hairpin did the trick. There’s nothin’ much that Horn can't do With a hair pin seems as like. One day she’ll fix Pop’s busted watch.

From a mechanical standpoint the I nited States leads the world in agriculture, but because of her wasteful cropping methods it is far from permanent, as is shown by the large Eastern tracts of worthless land, some of which is within sight of the National Capital. For this reason Scientific Agriculture is being promoted throughout the Fnited States. Although the agricultural course is comparatively new in I II. S., this being its second year, it is one of the main sub- jects of the school, due probably to the fact that it has been based on the Smith-Huglies Vocational ('ourse. As one prom- inent local educator said, “Paris High might he called an Agri- cultural High School at present.” There was a need for an Agriculture Club, where the stu- dents could meet to discuss the vital problems that face the agri- culturalist of today, to debate, and to hear the lectures on the subjects of stock raising, grain farming, silos, tractors, concrete improvements, and similar topics, by experienced producers and State Directors as well as by Club Members. As a result the Paris High School Agriculture Club was reorganized January 10th, 1010, to meet every two weeks during the school year. As all students eligible to membership in this organization were deeply interested in its work, practically all the Agriculture ■students joined, so we became the largest High School Agri- culture (dub in Illinois or Western Indiana. We feel that it will not be many years before the school board will furnish a small model farm where tlu students may learn more of the practical side of raising 100 bushels of corn and pure bred livestock. The meetings of the Agriculture Club are not only in- structive, but are a benefit socially. Plans arc now under way to terminate the club year with a banquet. The officers for the year 1019 are: President, John Edward Askin. Vice President, Herbert Ilenn. Secretary, Elmer Findley. Treasurer, Walter Stewart.

The play was a success throughout, and the players Were well repaid for their faithful work and that of their able director, Miss Wenz. The parts were exceedingly well suited to the players, and it may easily be said that iu, he Blossoming of M’arv Anne” wa.v one of the best and most successful plays ever staged in the citv by an amateur cast.

With only a week’s practice we went over to Kansas and, of course, were defeated. The following Friday we .were again defeated by the same team. Hut the gang was learning basket ball all the time and at Mattoon we were defeated by only one point in a fast game. In the first game played at home we defeated the (Charleston team. I his was one of the best games of the season with over four hundred people present. Coach Everett had beaten a good deal of basket ball into our heads by this time and we defeated Mattoon on our floor 17-7. Coach Becker arrived just after this game and took charge of the team. On Wednesday of the first week of Becker s reaching we defeated Newman at Paris and on Friday de- feated Areola on their floor. Manning was the star in the Areola game, making seven field goals, several of them from THE ARENA 90 center. The team was improving rapidly under Coach Becker’s training and now played together much bettor than in the first two games. Wiley was the next, victim and was defeated. The following week the team went to Terre Haute to the Wabash Valley Tournament. I he Paris team was scheduled to play Farmersburg the first game of the tournament. Farmersburg was considered one of the best teams in the tournament and was picked by many to play at least in the semi-finals. But the Tigers kicked the dope bucket over and defeated them 22-18. Then was a large crowd of Paris fans at the game and they certainly did their part in winning the game. Pearman starred in this game making two field goals to his forward’s one. The novt morning at 8 o’clock Paris and Greenup played. For some un- accountable reason the Tigers were not playing together. Pear- man was not able to play hut one quarter on account of •• sprained elbow. Sexson, who took his place, played a fine game but the “Corn I Tuskers” beat us 2S-12. This inglorious defeat took the fight out of the Tigers and they never played again with the same punch and team work that they had had in the Farmersburg game. Palestine defeated us at Paris, and Charleston beat us on their floor. At the district tournament at Shelby ville our first and last game was with the Greenup team. We thought that we had their number, biit we had hard luck in goal shooting and lost to them in the next to the best game in the tournament 10-14. This game was the last one of the season for the Tigers. I he six letter men wen� Gill, Bickett, Manning, Pearman, Doak and Gibbons. Gill, Bickett and Gibbons played forward. Bickett was the best goal shot on the team, both in field and f� ul goals. Gill was good in team work, but like Pearman and Doak was not very good at goal shooting. Gibbons, although it was the first year he ever played basket hall, did some good work, especially at the first of the season. “Alike” was the life� of every trip, and after some of our defeats we would have been a pretty gloomy bunch had it not been for our irishman. .Manning at center and Pearman at guard were the life of the team. These two men had been out as scrubs for the first three .' eat s, and in their Senior year they succeeded in getting their well-earned places on the first team. Doak, the back-guard and captain, was the only one who played all of every game. Be- sides these men, those on the squad who did not get to play in enough games to win their letters and the “scrubs” deserve special mention for sticking with the game and trying their host, taking the knocks and receiving no praise. “Slim” Boyer THE ARENA__________________________ 91 at center played several of the games. Sexson played in one of the games. A. Headley and W. Corwin were on the squad but did not get into any of the games. The scrubs were V. Reed, 1. Doak, E. Findley, II. llielmor, E. Morris, K. Laulier and R. Boyer. As live of the letter men graduate, next year's team will probably be chosen from these men. At tlu first of the season, as there was no one else willing to coach, Principal Everett got us started as a team. Although his time for the most part was taken up with his regular work, he gave us his evenings and coached us until after the? Mat toon game. When Mr. Becker came he jumped right into the job of coaching us. The team in appreciation of his services pre- sented him with a sweater at the close of the season. Mr. Pollard assisted Mi . Everett and M'r. Becker in coaching both the squad and the scrubs at different times. Mr. Keith, our manager, deserves mention for the careful way in which the business and financial affairs of the team were looked after. Tie got tlu very best teams for the Tigers to meet and as a result athletics have been sunnorted in Paris this year as never before. Over seventy-five dollars were paid to the government as war tax, the team bought new suits and equipment, and we finished the season with over . 0.00 in tin treasurv to start the track season. Although the last games were lost the team was a success in more ways than one, and with the same kind of spirit shown next year as this, the Tigers of ’ l!)-'20 should be a marked im provenient over tlu team of ’18-’ll).

But then wo all knew she would. The other team ? Well, they know-how to play the game too—they were good losers. The crowd gave three cheers for them.

S. this season were almost lost when the “Fin ’ epidemic caused almost all the scheduled games to lx cancelled. However, every member of the team was faith- ful, and three games were played. ith half a dozen “vets,” coach Everett started the season. Quite a few green men reported for practice and their efforts were pronounced in the formation of an effective lineup. After two weeks’ practice a trip was made to Martinsville where the Tigers in a ragged game defeated the Oil Men by i score of 20-7. Mlover at quarter was injured in this, his first and only game for the school. Herbert Ilenn at guard received facial injuries which prevented his playing at Brazil a week l iter. Brewis at end was responsible for quite a few of our gains in this game. On the whole the first game, although our victory, was not a fair test of our strength. With a complete lineup such as we had, a better showing was in order. How- ever, the score was satisfactory, considering the condition of the field and the lack of experienced men. At Brazil a week later, with Ilenn and Moyer out with injuries, and Simons out on account of the epidemic, Paris played with such determination that the opponents succeeded in scoring only once. Findley played at tackle with one hand useless. Lauher, at quarter, made in his initial game, a gain cf fifteen yards. Carson Henn was out of a suit the rest of the season from injuries received at Brazil. For the next few weeks we practiced in preparation for games which were regularly cancelled. After tickets had been widely sold for the Mlattoon game, the city authorities forbade the playing of the game. Later, a game with Danville was can- celled. Then bookings with Newman, Areola, Marshall, Casey, Clinton and other schools were cancelled. On Thanksgiving Day we were to meet Garfield on Pose Field. AT.any rooters were ready to follow the team, when news came that the game could not 1h‘ played, because of the influenza epidemic. This fact caused extreme regret as MV. Keith had secured a contract which would have given Paris one-half the net gate receipts and would have enriched our exchequer several dollars, but Old Alan “Flu” scored another knock out. A game was arranged out of season with Garfield and early in Deceml er we went to Terre Ihaute with a weakened team and met the North Siders on Pose Field. The game was a very one sided affair, Paris being unable to withstand the attacks of THE ARENA 95 the defenders of the purple and white. It must Ik remembered that the Garfield men had not as yet been affected by the “Flu,” and consequently were in better condition than we had been since our first game. The struggle was clean and we were willing to acknowledge a fair defeat. Sam Doak as captain was one of our mainstays. His work with that of Carl Stewart and Buford (Jill was respon- sible for almost all of our gains in every game. Stewart and (Jill were letter men last season and they were two of the most faithful of the Tigers. At quarter Moyer played one game. A very promising career at the pivot position was denied him on account of in- juries. Bickett, with Lauher as sub, filled out tlu season. Bickett is a quarter with a sure future. Lauher proved his worth in both the Brazil and the Garfield games by his series of plunges which netted several gains. Brewis and Carson Henn, end and center, are two veterans with whom we can not conveniently dispense. At end Brewis was known and feared over the Wabash alley. TIis work for Paris will not soon be forgotten. At center, Henn is an indi- vidual who stands apart in atheletics in the school. TTo has been the originator of many of our formations and has alwavs been a strong supporter of football. Walter Stewart, Herbert Henn, Herbert Ridel 1 and El- mer Findley were all rugged guards. All these were new, and the experience gained this year will make them valued men next season. Russel Boyer and Simons played in their regular positions as tackles. Neither of these men have ever lost a minute s playing time from injuries in two seasons. Charles Boyer and Virgil Reed at ends played well. Boyer is a feared tacklei, and Reed is always sure of the catch. Now that Paris is losing Doak, Stewart. (Sill, Brewis, Reed and Henn through graduation, and several others from various reasons, we of the team remaining here wish to appeal to the fellows to step forward next season in defense of old P. IE S. We wish to express our gratitude to those fellows who nightly “bucked the line” to help in the development of the team. Among these fellows are John Doak, Arthur TTeadle , Lester Neeves, Whitney Corwin, Elmer Findley and others. To members of the Athletic Association, to tin faculty, to those of the alumni and of the student body, who stood with us during this very disappointing season, we are desirous ot extending our thanks. By careful handling of funds Mr. Keith our manger sue- THE ARENA 00 ceeded in purchasing new materials and holding a tidy balance at the end of the season. To Mir. Everett, who gave much of his time and interest to the team, is due no small amount of praise. He surely is a successful coach. This history must not close without a final appeal to those in I . II. K., and those who are to come, to stand firmly in sup- port of athletics, for without that, school spirit so necessary to the existence of a team we could not look back into the past and recall remembrances of the times when we stood on tiptoe and cheered.

JEWELRY SHOP One June clay I had made up my mind that I wanted a King for graduation, so I went to the Paris High School Jewel- ry Shop. In every Case of Wood they had different kinds, some Opal, Ruby, Carnet and some Pearl. A very pretty Jewel in a Gold (ia) setting I liked very much, so I selected it. After that I decided that I might as well look around and see what else the shop offered. There were some Barr pins with a Link of silver in the center. By their side lay some Lodge pins, but ns I was not a Lodge member I was not interested. The next ease contained “solid ivory.” If the Freshmen had only known it they would each have purchased a set as a suitable companion. Among the silver I espied an Olive fork, I immediately pounced on it because it would be such an appropriate wedding gift for me to give Miss Flentye. A tray of Kees attracted my atten- tion because T remembered that several of the High School girls had lost the Kees to their hearts. T bought some so that T might present them to the girls. The Mtinn who waited on me made me pay Cash. T had finished my shopping, so T left the store. () YOU MARCH 21st!

Love is a “Comedy of Errors” in which we get “Measure for Measure.” First there conies, “A M idsummer Nights’ Dream,” which only lasts until about the “Twelfth Night” when “The Tempest” comes and it seems as though “Loves’ Labour’s Lost.” But after “Much Ado about. Nothing” you succeed in “The Taming of the Shrew” as it was only “A Lover’s Complaint” and “All’s well That Ends Well” for you have the “Winters’ Tale,” “As You Like It.” There Are Two Reasons Why Stafford Engravings Are Used in This « Annual and Why They Should Be Used in Yours------ The First, of course, is quality. Through years of specialization, our organization has be- come unusually expert in half-tones, color plates, zinc etchings, and designs for college and sclio 1 publications. We have the very best shop equip- ment and every facility for prompt production of quality work. Tlu famous Levy Acid Blast process gives our half tones a cleaner, deeper, sharper etching than the tub method most commonlyly used, and makes it easier for your printer to give you a first class job. The Second is Stafford Co-operation. For the benefit of our customers in their dealing with us, we have prepared a valuable handbook entitled, Engrav- ing for College and Shcool Publications” containing 164 pages and over 300 illustrations, and giving com- plete information in regard to planning your publica- tion. the preparation of copy, anel ordering of en- gravings. This book simplifies ordering, proven's costly mistakes, and means higher quality engravings at lowest cost. We do not sell it—but we lend a copy to the staff of each publication for which we make engravings. Let Stafford make your commencement invitations, fraternity stationery, visit- ing cards, and any other copper plate engraving or steel die embossing. We have a large department devoted exclusively to this class of work, and can give you both quality and service. Samples with prices on request.

Long years ago there was a Carpenter residing at a little out of the way place which is now Ohrisman. Here he lived all alone save for an aged Butler, who attended to all of his earthly wants. Now this Carpenter had a peculiar hobby that was collect- ing Nichols. lie even went so far as to turn all of his earthly possessions, which consisted of a Greenfield, a Peacock, a Crab- tree, and a Honeywell into Nichols. One night when, true to his habit, he proceeded to take his fortune in Nichols from under the floor, he found that they were gone. He called for his Butler, who was a Mann noted for his wisdom, lie sent, the Butler to the Lodge, which was several miles away to find the Gardner, the only real friend the Carpenter had ever had. Soon a crowd was collected at the Carpenter’s—the Gardner from the Lodge, a Baker, a Cook and a Porter from a nearby town. A Hunter, also who was returning from his daily hunt, arrived In time to witness the scene. They searched all through the Wood but could find nothing. It was a cold night and the North wind was very strong. On one of his travels in searching for his lost fortune the Carpenter met a Shepherd who was caring for his flock on a Hill. Here seated on a Moss covered log, the Shepherd gave the Carpenter much good advice. Hfe influenced him to give tip his search for his fortune and take up a trade in a nearby town. , “Have a Newhart and learn to care for other people ’ the Shepherd very wisely told him. “I See, I See,” said the Carpenter thoughtfully. Bright and Parly the next morning he went into the town. When he was a young JAinn he had been noted for being as strong as Sampson and as he was now only middle aged, he de- terminated to take up the trade of a Mfason. In time he became a highly resj ected Mann in the town, doing all he could to exterminate 1 ice and promote all that was Wright. One Summers day in May the Carpenter was summoned to the door by the Bell. Upon opening the door he discovered his caller to lie a Porter from a nearby town. The Porter handed the Carpenter a bundle which, when the Carpenter opened it, proved to l e his lost fortune in Nichols. I he Por- ter then told the Carpenter how he had stolen his money long TIIKIB ARENA JJ4 Clothing Shoes Furnishings You will find all the new styles in men’s wear here. Come in and let us show you.
