THE 1932 ARENA Volume XXIII •Published by THE SENIOR CLASS PARIS HIGH SCHOOL PARIS. ILLINOIS FOREWORD To commemorate the achievements of the past year, to cherish common memories of our school days, and to bring about a fuller realization of the greatness of a pre-eminent American is our aspiration in producing this annual DEDICATION To the memory of George Washington, whose undying devotion to the principles of liberty and union perpetuates his name as the first citizen of these United States, we reverently dedicate this book IIIIIMIIMIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIItllllllllltMIIIIIIUMMimiHIMIHllHItHIMWMHIIMHMMM'IMMMIIIlll IIIMIIIIM'MlMllliMIMIltHMIllMHIIIIHillllMlinMMIIMlinillMMttlniMIIUMIIIiMIIMIMMIHIMIMIHIIIIIOllOMIIIINHIIIIMIIMIIlMIHIIIIIIIH. BOOK OF CONTENTS View Section Vacuity School Activities Athletics Features E P Soldier and statesman, rarest unison; High-poised example of great duties done Simply as breathing, a world’s honors worn As life’s indifferent gifts to all men born; Dumb for himself, unless it were to God, But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent, Tramping the snow to coral where they trod. Held by his a ice in hollow-eyed content; Modest, yet firm as Nature’s self; unblamed Save by the men his nobler temper shamed; Rigid, but with himself first, grasping still In swerveless poise the wave-beat helm of will; Not honored then or now because he wooed The popular voice, but that he still withstood; Broad-minded, bigher-souled, there is but one Who was all this and ours, and all men’s— Washington. Our Front Entrance Auditorium Entrance Our Junior High School Thk Library Explanation of the Theme On the morning of February 22nd, 1732, on a farm in northern Virginia, a child was born, destined to play a very important part in the formation of our nation. The name of this individual, George Washington, has been made immortal on the pages of history for his leading a group of thirteen struggling colonies against the tyrant, and on to the promised land of independence. In political, scientific, and social, as well as military affairs, he stands out as the foremost figure in American history and is, indeed, the Father of his Country.” This year marks the bicentennial anniversary of his birth, and the entire nation is preparing to celebrate it. Commissions over the entire country have been formed for that express purpose, jubilees planned, and pageants enacted. Even foreign countries are preparing to give fitting recognition to this hero. In accordance with this nation-wide celebration, this year's Arena staff has decided to use this man, his life, and his accomplishments as the theme of the 19)2 Paris FUgh Annual. The entire book, with its various divisions of fa ulty, school, athletics, organizations, and features, is to be based upon the corresponding phases of Washington's widely diversified life. A short paragraph precedes each section, explaining the connection between Washington's life and the phase of school life to be portrayed. The painting of Washington which you sec on the frontispiece was one of the three famous studies of this man by Gilbert Stuart. If is known as the Athenaeum Portrait,” and is undoubtedly his best known and most popular likeness. Various scenes from Washington’s life are found throughout the book, and a cameo of the profile of Washington, his official portrait, is at the top of each page. We hope that when you have concluded the reading of these pages, yon will have gained not only a clear idea of the various achievements of our school year, but will also have attained a closer interest, a more sincere sympathy, and a more profound respect for that distinguished man of honor and achievements—George Washington. John O. Honnoi.d, Jr. ’32. History of the Arena We are indebted to the Class of 1910 for the first publication of the Arena.” In 1911, the name lias changed to Pee Aitch Ess; but the next year it again took on the name Arena.” In 1914-1) it took the form of the Clarion,” a quarterly magazine, but since then it has been published yearly under its present name by the graduating class of P.H.S. Much of its success can be attributed to Miss Wenz, Miss Slem-mons. Miss Boland, Miss Pansier, Miss Tate, and Miss Wright, who have acted as faculty advisors. hollowing is a list of students who have served as editors and business managers.

Faculty Every person who has attained prominence in the world must attribute part of his success to the people, or to the circumstances under which he acquired his learning. So it was with Washington. Yet he had little of the learned, considerate guidance of his studies which marks the education of the modern youth; for his instructors consisted of an ignorant parish priest, rescued from slavery, under whom he learned his alphabet; and a Mr. Williams, a conscientious, but rather incompetent individual. Yet these did not complete the list of his teachers for, being a close observer, he learned an enormous amount from his associates, his parents, and relatives. Moreover, he was to a great extent his own instructor, and studied conscientiously of his own accord during his entire life. So we see that, in addition to his formal teachers, we must add his associates, friends, and his own initiative as elements which helped train his body and mind to the perfection which was his. Signing rhe Declaration of Independence Without doubt the most important event in the history of our country occurred when that illustrious group of men met in July, 1776, and formulated the Declaration of independence. Trumbull, the artist, has provided for us the pictorial commemoration of that event in the opposite picture, which now hangs in the Rotunda of the Capitol at Washington.

Twenty FAC U LTV THE ARENA Paris High School For the year 193 1-32, Paris High School boasts of one of the largest enrollments in its history. To date there are enrolled 669 pupils, 354 boys and 315 girls. The Senior class has a membership of 161 students, the Junior class 134, the Sophomore class 168, and the Freshman class 176. Three separate courses are offered—the College Preparatory, the Commercial, and the General Course. For graduation from any course the requirements are four years of English, two years of mathematics, two years of history, and one year of science. In addition to these, there is offered to students in the college preparatory course a choice of four years of Latin, two years of French, three additional years of science, a third year of history, a third year of mathematics, and one semester of civics. In the commercial department there is offered a course in junior business training, in vocations, in commercial geography, commercial arithmetic, bookkeeping, and a two years’ course in shorthand and typewriting. A one year course in typing only is also offered. In addition to the required subjects, a student desiring a general course may make a choice from the above subjects, and also has offered for his consideration two years of agriculture, two years of manual training, a year of foods, clothing, and economics. The faculty consists this year of twenty-seven members, two of whom. Miss Hougham in music, and Miss Doak in physical training, devote only part time to high school work. The English department has six members, four of whom devote full time to the subject; the Latin department, two; French, one; science, three; history, three; commercial, three; foods, one; clothing, one; mathematics, two; agriculture, one; manual training, one; physical training, two. Paris High School was fortunate in having very few changes in the faculty for this year. Mr. William Parker of the chemistry department resigned to do graduate work and was succeeded by Mr. C. J. Little. Miss Marguerite Cushman also resigned to take up Library work; her place was filled by Miss Pauline Dunlavy. Paris High School, as was expected, has experienced one of the most successful years in its history. T urnly-onr School There were many ways by which Washington gained his knowledge. As we have seen, he acquired some of his education from two rather inefficient teachers. But this, by no means, completed his schooling. A great amount of his education was gained through his own initiative and effort. While a youth he was a retentive reader, a deep thinker, and a close observer. We find that, when as a youth of twelve, he voluntarily busied himself in assiduously copying Hawkins’ Rules for Civility,” and attempted to remember and follow them all, a task that few but a Washington would have attempted. His own efforts were augmented by the men and women among whom he found himself, and by the vast school of experience. His associates were of the highest type, including his brother, Lawrence, and Lord Fairfax, a distant relative. From these he learned an ease of manner which was so duly needed in his high station. Then, in his struggles with the wilderness he developed a strength and steadfastness of character which was so apparent in his later administration. In this way, by his own initiative, by his acquaintances, and through experience, Washington was schooled to a degree of excellence very unusual for his time. John O. Honnold, Jr. ’32. Resigning His Commission The opposite painting by Trumbull depicts one of the epochs in Washington’s eventful life, the resignation to Congress on December 23, 178 3, of his com mission as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. SCHOOL THE ARENA SENIORS V. Parrish M. Rif.dlll M. Carnahan J. Boland President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer History of the Class of '32 It was going to be a great day in old P.H.S. when some two hundred ten Freshmen, who later became known as the illustrious class of ’32, first entered the portals of the high school. But, much to our astonishment, there were no brass bands and special delegates to greet us when we marched up the steps way back in 1928. And some of our ideas concerning our importance to the high school were soon changed also, for we early learned that our main purpose was to furnish amusement to the upperclassmen, a thing which we did with due ability. As Sophomores we started out to do big things. Although some of our high ambitions made a complete flop, we succeeded in having the largest number on the honor roll, winning the inter-class basketball championship, and some of our more talented members walking off with prizes in the F.. I. League. Although our numbers had diminished somewhat, we still held high hopes of being the largest class to graduate from P.Ff.S. The class of ’32 prides itself on its accomplishments in its Junior year. Needing money with which to entertain the Seniors, the class showed its ability by putting on one of the most successful class plays in the history of P.H.S. Four of the members of the 1931 debating team also came from the class of ’32. As the year drew to a close, we entertained the Seniors in the annual Junior-Senior banquet. And now, as our last year in the old school rolls around, we view with sadness the end of our high school days. We sincerely believe that we have attained some honors and accomplishments in our four years of high school, and that when we are all too quickly compelled to leave, it will not be just the passing of another class. We hope to attain honors in the world just as we have in high school, and to carry proudly the name of the Class of 1932 on to higher honors and attainments. William Parrish ’32.

Dayton President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer History of the Class of 33 J Wc, the class of nineteen hundred thirty-three, promise to be one of the most auspicious classes ever to attend Paris High School. If for some inconceivable reason the entire Junior class were suddenly lost to the high school, we feel that the remainder would have a hard time to carry on.” The following reasons will explain our belief. Many from our class wore the orange and black upon the gridiron. The operetta was put on largely by the Junior class. Our Junior men formed the backbone of the varsity basketball team. We have a solid representation in the glee clubs and other musical pursuits. Wc have taken part in all other activities, and Junior voices are heard above all others, both at pep meetings and at the games. Undoubtedly among our ranks are many budding orators, who are trying to master this difficult art. They are only awaiting their chance to emulate Patrick Henry so well that the Eastern Illinois League contest will fall into their hands. Wc have intentions toward the class basketball tournament, and also expect to excel all others in track and tennis in the spring. As a unit wc look forward to the year of our graduation, 1933. Astrologers pronounce this year rife with rich possibilities. Depression, real or imagined, which has hung over our country like a black cloud, will have vanished, and a new era of prosperity will have dawned. The stage of the world is set for our success. Our graduation will be for us a renaissance. It will be endowed with more chances for success than Napoleon at the height of his career. We will have become master-workmen. Our futures, and that of our country which is welded with ours, must and shall be bright, for they are based on the solid foundation of knowledge. Sidney Powers 33.

McFall President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer History of the Class of '34 Gather around all and you shall hear—not of the midnight ride of Paul Revere — but of something undoubtedly as wonderful. That is, as you have probably all guessed, the class of ’34—its progress, brilliancy, and superiority. In September, 1931, we Sophomores walked boldly into the hallway of Paris High School, neither wiggling nor squirming under the critical gaze of the upperclassmen. Instead, a change had taken place. We found ourselves among those so-called upperclassmen and oh! what fun we had watching the Freshmen! It was really great sport while it lasted, and now we can understand the actions of the class of ’33 last year. After a few days the sport became dull, and nothing was left for us but to begin to study and appear to enjoy it. You must admit, though, that it is still terribly funny to see some inexperienced person take a nosedive down the dilhcult middle stairway, and such things do happen every once in awhile. Our class has diminished somewhat since last year, and we are now a class of 168. We had members who went out for different divisions of athletics; and our class basketball team, after being defeated in a close game by the Seniors, took second place in the inter-class tournament. We are also represented in the clubs and associations about the school. Our Sophomore year has found us with new friends in our class. After having spent nearly two years together we have become more and more acquainted with the high school ways. We have enjoyed these two years immensely, and we hope that the coming years will give us opportunity to do more and to show our appreciation for the good times had here. Marcella Kirsten ’34.

Parrish V. Safford J. Jurey D. Stoddard President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer History of the Class of 35 J When told I must write the history of the Freshman class, I asked a Senior what I should write about, and the reply was, Why, there’s nothing to write about the Freshman class.” After thinking this remark over 1 decided that, while most of our achievements probably lay in the future, we had already accomplished some of them. We had boys out for football, basketball, and track. There were eight representatives from our class in the operetta, Up in the Air. We had a girls’ basketball team, a hockey team, and also a G.A.A. for the girls to work on. Our class chose green and gold for the class colors, and showed much artistic ability in decorating our section of the gym for the class tournament with them. Our class put on one of the cleverest pep” meetings that had been put on this year. Even the Seniors enjoyed it. We also had two good cheer-leaders. Our class makes up a large part of the student body, and, how would they get along without us? Who would the upperclassmen tease if it were not for the Freshmen? Who would cause confusion by running up and down the wrong stairs? Who would awkwardly blunder into the wrong classroom and have to be directed to another one? After all, everything has to have a beginning and where would the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors come from if there had been no Freshmen? They say, Great oaks from little acorns grow,” and while we Freshmen are considered the nuts” of P.H.S. now', we expect to become an important branch on the tree of knowledge later on.

Thinker Fifty-teven Ensemble Activities In addition to the stern, uncompromising labor as political and military leader of the colonies, Washington was engaged in many activities which were extra-curricular” in his school of life. Social activities played a great part in his life. From boyhood, his handsome carriage and frank, engaging manner won him a prominent place in the social life of his sphere, and since he was a graceful and enthusiastic dancer, few balls or other gala events were complete without the presence of his stately figure. But Washington’s activities were not limited merely to those of a social nature. His desire for constructive work led him on to other enterprises. Always a patron of advancement, he introduced vaccination and new methods of medicine, founded and encouraged many schools, and provided in his will for a large sum to be used in education. Thus, through his social and constructive work, Washington was actively engaged in many pursuits. John O. Honnold, Jr. ’32.

Each prize comprises twenty dollars in gold and a gold pin, one given for predominant scholastic rating and the other because of oratorical merit. Upon the member of each Senior class, who excels his fellows in the average of four years of high school work, the Secnarf Prize is conferred. Murphy Dorris was recognized as having achieved this coveted honor in the class of 1931 with an average of 97.42.

Debating Society In the autumn of 1931, in anticipation of the coming debate season, a debating society was formed under the supervision of Miss Hochstrasscr and Miss Bosie. Margaret Wixsom was chosen president, with John O. Honnold as secretary, and John Boland as treasurer. Meetings were held weekly and several subjects were discussed prior to taking up the season’s question, which was one of vital interest: Resolved, That the several states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance.” In the final tryouts the following members were chosen to represent Paris High School in the 1932 season: The affirmative team, John O. Honnold, a veteran of last year; Crystal Eunkhouser, and George Johnson; the negative team, Margaret Wixsom, another veteran; Elmer Griffin, and Paul Hartrich.

Future Farmers of America The ideas that the Future Farmers of America are trying to work up to today are: We believe in the future of farming, with a faith born not of words but of deeds— achievements won by the present and past generation of farming; in the promise of better days through better ways even as the better things we now enjoy have come up to us from the struggles of former years. We believe that to live and work on a good farm is very pleasant, even in the hours of discouragement. We believe in leadership for ourselves and respect for others. We believe in our own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, and to find the best market for our crops. In every way we endeavor to be true to everyone. We believe in being happy ourselves and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon us. The officers for this year are: President Vice-President Archie McDivitt Secretary .

At each meeting there are four papers read, one from each of the following fields: chemistry, physics, biology, and biography. The Illinium is one of the outstanding organizations of Paris High School. We have a large and interested membership this year. The Charleston T. C. Science Club invited us to attend one of their meetings where a very interesting program was enjoyed. We hope that when we entertain them, our meeting will prove as interesting. The main social activity of the year was the party held early last fall to which all students eligible to membership were invited. New members were initiated at the close of the party.

Sixty-fire Junior-Senior Banquet The fanfare, the barker, the ballyhoo, the concert star, and the animals were all present at the Junior-Senior Banquet, Friday night. May 21, 1931. The gym represented the tent, being decorated in purple and gold, the Senior colors. The ceiling formed a three-pole circus tent, and suspended from the top were trapezes on which were swinging our death-defying performers. The sides of the tent displayed ferocious animals. Rev. C. R. Booth as Fanfare” at the circus asked the invocation. Ringmaster Donald Spicer introduced our performers, the first being Elmer Griffin, the Junior Class President. He welcomed the Seniors with his Ballyhoo.” Senior Class President Harry Parrish, the Barker,” responded for the Seniors. Wolfgang Kuhn, In the sawdust circle,” gave two violin selections. Mr. Moss, as Headliner,” spoke to the Senior class. Miss Wenz told us the Topnotchers” of the Junior and Senior classes.

The Brat JUNIOR CLASS PLAY—1931 On the evening of March 20, 1931, a group of Juniors presented The Brat.” In this play, the delightful blending of seriousness, pathos, and comedy charmed the audience. The plot centers about a family whose pride is the elder son, a very enterprising young author. As an inspiration for his new book, he introduces into the household the Brat, who is a naive, young girl of the slums. Following a brief attachment for her benefactor, a love affair develops between her and a younger brother of the family, the supposed black sheep.” Complications arise, but the ending proves satisfactory.

Girls' Glee Club Paris High School should be, and is, justly proud of her Girls Glee Club. This organization is composed of about twenty-five members. From this group a special chorus is chosen to represent the school in the various contests. The Glee Club sang for some of the school assemblies, the Teacher’s Institute, the Farmer’s Institute, and with the help of the Girls Chorus and the Boys Glee Club, presented the annual operetta, Up in the Air.” Many trophies have been won for Paris, and again the Girls’ Glee Club was able to add to this number when it won first place in the County Contest and the Eastern Illinois League Contest. The success of the Girls’ Glee Club is due largely to the excellent supervision of Miss Hougham and to its accompanist, Margaret Wixsom. Officers President Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Louisf.

Skidding SENIOR CLASS PLAY To climax a very interesting and pleasant high school career, the Senior class presented for the approval of its friends, the comedy, Skidding, on the evening of May 28, 1931. The plot concerned one Judge Hardy and his extravagant family who resided in a small Idaho town. Hardy, seeking renomination, tried in vain to curtail family expenses, as there was some uncertainty of his renomination. Just at the time when his spirits were lowest, his two married daughters left their husbands to come back home to live. These complications in conjunction with crooked politics had Judge Hardy s morale nearly broken. Then when defeat seemed inevitable, his youngest daughter came home from an eastern school with her future husband, and with the aid of her younger brother and Hardy s political manager, secured his nomination to a still higher judgeship.

Up In The Air Friday, the thirteenth of November, the Music Department of Paris High School presented, with huge success, a scintillating operetta entitled Up in the Air.” The synopsis of this fast-moving plot is as follows: George Burbank, a big business magnate, tolerates no one but a young fellow of brawn and daring as candidate for the hand of his daughter, Betty, who is already wooed, much to his annoyance, by Harold Post, a young man of just the opposite type. Burbank’s friend, McCullom, a movie producer, proposes to stage a spectacular flying stunt by a young aviator, Joe Bennett, who has applied for a job in the movies, and offers a prize to anyone who will make a parachute jump. Jim Carter, Harold’s busy-body friend, seizes on this as the young man’s opportunity to make good, and devises various alibis which will prevent his actually going up, while gaining the credit for bravery. One by one these alibis fail, and Harold gets more and more deeply involved. Finally, he is forced to go through with it in spite of himself, and by a comic fluke manages to maintain his reputation as a dare-devil, to gain the enthusiastic approval of Burbank, and to win the girl of his choice.

Debate - 1931 For the first time in the history of debating in Paris High School, the debate teams were entered in the 1931 State Debating Contests. Having won the silver cup offered by the Eastern Illinois League and the pennant awarded by the Section, these teams were eligible for the State Contest. The question for debate in 1931 was: Resolved, That Chain Stores Are a Detriment to Public Welfare.” The teams, both of which were entirely inexperienced, consisted of John O. Honnold, Louise Zimmerman, and Peter Lehman, affirmative; and Harry Parrish, Arthur Kilmer and Margaret Wixsom, negative. In the Eastern Illinois League we had seven debates won and one lost, while our nearest competitor, Hutsonville, had six debates won, one tied, and one lost. Our opponents in the League included Robinson, Newton, Oblong, and Hutsonville. In the Sectional Meet, Robinson tied with Paris, having three out of four decisions, but the Paris teams had a majority of thirty and a half points, thus making them winners. Through the combined efforts of Miss Hochstrasser, affirmative coach, and Miss Bosie, negative coach, the debate teams closed a most successful and eventful debate season the last of May, 1931.

In the E.I.H.S.L. Spring Meet, Paris High School received trophies for the Literary and Music Championship, and for first rating in Girls’ Chorus. And as a crown to these victories, we were awarded a trophy signifying the Grand Championship of the entire meet. Because of our Basket Ball Team’s efficiency we became the justly proud possessor of three more prizes, all representing Championship in the E.C.I.A. Tournament. A silver cup was acquired in the l.S.T.C. Contest for first laurels won by the Girls’ Glee Club in the May Musical. As a result of our excellence in the E.C.I.A. Tournament we obtained trophies for winning the High School Relay and for earning the highest total of points in the Track and Field events. Pennants were received for first place in both the Boys’ and Girls’ Choruses. Our Debating team grapsed first honors in the E.I.H.S.L. competition, thus acquiring a silver cup. In addition, aspiring for more distinguished heights, they captured the winnings of the Sub-District and District Debates. Donald Spicf.r, ’32. Sri emty minr IHE ARENA ACTIVITIES Living Pages From Washington’s Diary A Candle-Time Reverie Amid the splendor and elegance common to the eighteenth century, a scenic version of the life of George Washington was presented by the students of the High School on February 22 and 23, to commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of his birth. The pageant, a candle-time reverie, consisted of a series of eleven tableaux, representing outstanding events in Washington’s life. These tableaux were staged in a huge gilt picture frame, eight by twelve feet in size. The story of the pageant was told by an archivist, whose candle light wove the spell in which the Spirit of Bygone Years lifted the curtain of the past. The program was as follows: Place—Wherever books are treasured. Time—Any candletime.

This was Helen’s first appearance in a public speaking contest and she has reason to be proud of her success. John Williams took first place in humorous with China Blue Eyes,” by Foss, both in the Edgar County Meet and in Eastern Illinois League. John is only a Freshman, so we expect other victories from him in the future. Margaret Ketchum won second place in dramatics with Hood’s How the La Rue Stakes Were Lost.” Although Margaret postponed entering speaking contests until her Senior year, she certainly acquitted herself in a creditable manner. George Carter took fourth place in extemporaneous speaking. Leallyn Clapp won third honors in composition writing. In both extemporaneous speaking and composition writing the subjects were the same. Each student drew a topic dealing with some subject of current interest, and on this based his discussion. Wolfgang Kuhn won first honors in the violin solo with Adoration, by Borowski, and Gavotte Opus II,” by Berezowsky. This is Wolfgang’s third successive victory in the Eastern Illinois League. In piano solo, Margaret Wixsom won fourth place, playing Liebestraum,” by Lizst, and Etude Fantastique,” by Friml. Music is only one of the various extracurricular activities in which Margaret is engaged. In addition to playing the piano and viola in the High School Orchestra, she often acts as conductor. In debate, also, she has won signal honor for the past two years. Murphy Dorris won first honors in the District Meet with his oration on The Constitution.” This contest was held at Danville, Illinois, sponsored by the Danville Commercial News. There were five competitors, the survivors of previous contests held in eastern Illinois and Indiana. Following the Danville contest Murphy represented this section in the state finals at Springfield, where he won fourth place. The Girls’ Glee Club won first place in the Edgar County meet with By the Lake of the Little Moon.” At the May Festival in Terre Haute they won a trophy with their selection Green Cathedral,” by Kohn. They also took first place in the Eastern Illinois League contest, singing Would God I Were a Tender Apple Blossom,” and Esmeralda.” Eighty-four ACTIVITIES THE ARENA Athletics Not only was Washington of unusual mental ability, but he also possessed a strength and vigor of body which was very imperative for his advancement. From an early age he began to excel in athletics. At fourteen he had nearly acquired his ultimate height of over six feet with strength and agility in proportion, equipping him for the juvenile sports of his companions in which he easily assumed the leadership. In fact, there were few things which he could not do. In his hunting, no horse was so unruly but that Master George could handle it, and records reveal him as taking prizes in community sports such as racing, boxing, wrestling, and throwing the bar. Many legends, authentic and otherwise, are told of his physical prowess, among which may be ranked the familiar story of throwing the coin across the Potomac. Yet all of these are not myths. When merely sixteen he assumed the role of surveyor and finally of military leader in the untamed western regions. The hardships which he endured in his campaigns in the Ohio River Valley and the privations and sufferings at Valley Forge would have tested the most virile of strength, but he emerged successful. Indeed, it is evident that without the paramount physical ability which he acquired in the athletics of his youth, it would have been impossible for Washington to have pursued the active course which he followed throughout his entire life. John O. Honnold, Jr. ’32. Crossing The Delaware Among military exploits, one stands pre-eminent for its brilliance and strategy when Washington, in the face of almost certain defeat, rowed his men across the Delaware atid annihilated the Hessian forces. The glamor of this event is caught by the artist, Lentz, in his famous painting. ATH LE TICS Coach Glenn Joe Stanfield Asst. Coach Hunter St uJcnt-Manager Coach M. Wyman Glenn Coach, with his ability to handle athletes and his general likableness, has never, since he has been at P.H.S., turned out a consistent loser in any sport. Although he passes this fact off with a shrug of the shoulder and his answer that he had good material, the school knows his true value, and likes him all the more for his modesty. We all hope you’ll be with us many more years, Coach. Student Manager Joe Stanfield Joe has made many friends by his timely rub-downs and bandages. He has worked hard and long for the good of the school and the team. His careful check-up on material and suits has undoubtedly saved the school money and time. Let’s take our hats off to one of the hardest working men on the squad who seldom, if ever, receives any justly deserved praise. Assistant Coach Harry B. Hunter Mr. Hunter, although just completing his first year as assistant coach, has won his way into the hearts of all the boys under him. He is a great asset, not only to Coach Glenn, but to the whole school. Eighty-right ATHLETICS THE ARENA Finl Row: Piper (Student Mgr.), VP.

The track was very heavy, and although both teams showed up exceptionally well, no records were menaced. Paris won by the score of 88 to 37 i. Three days later, with track conditions much improved, the Paris team met Marshall and defeated them 88 to 38. The following Saturday, on a very fast track, the Orange and Black defeated Charleston High, the score being 89 z to 41 Vi- This meet was one of the fastest of the season. Four days later the Tigers joined Bridgeport and Mount Carmel in a night meet at Bridgeport. The host took first place, with 60! 2 points; Mount Carmel second place, with 3 5 points, and with 30 4 points Paris was third. On April 21 Paris humbled Gcrstmeycr of Terre Haute by the score of 62 z to 45 Zi. The meet was closely contested, but Paris was finally able to pull ahead. Four days after this meet, Paris journeyed to Charleston, where they participated in the Eastern Illinois League meet. Martinsville won the meet with thirty-one points, while the Tigers placed sixth with 13. The County meet was held at Metcalf on May 2. The fighting Glennmen clicked off their fifth triumph in eleven years, with 44 points. On May 9 the State District Meet was held on the grounds of Charleston T. C., and Dayton, Paris miler, qualified for the State Meet to be held at Champaign. At Charleston, Decatur won the meet. Eighty-nine THE ARENA ATHLETICS VARSITY FOOTBALL Fint Rou : Sullivan.

Football The following Saturday, in weather that was more fitted for baseball than football, Paris journeyed to Gerstmeyer at Terre Haute and played their second tie of the season, neither team having the power to score. Their next game was at night with Clinton. This was the first time the Orange and Black had played under artificial light, and the backers of the team were doubtful of the outcome. The boys showed up well, however, and not until the last quarter could the more experienced Clinton team get away for the three touchdowns that won the game for them. The game with Charleston High School the following Saturday was one of the most heart-breaking games of the season, for the Tigers out-played Charleston all through the game, only to be beaten by a lone score. Revenge came just a week afterwards, however, when, playing their first home-game, Paris defeated Charleston Teachers’ College, 12 to 6. In the last two games of the season, both of them played at home. Paris broke even, losing to the shifty I.ions of Marshall, 13 to 0, and winning from the hard fighting Chrisman team, 12 to 0. —Robert Gross, ’32. Ninety-one THE ARENA ATHLETICS Dean Edwards, Tackle (6 ft., 150 lbs.) Dean was one of the most consistent players on the team. We’ll sure miss him next year. Archie McDmrr, Guard (5 ft 8 in., 176 lbs.) Archie was a wonderful lineman, and was always playing his best. Phillip Best, Center (5 ft. 11 inches, 147 lbs.) Phil will undoubtedly get a varsity center posit ion next year. Kermit Hardy, Guard (5 ft. 7 in., 140 lbs.) Whenever we needed a good reserve lineman, the coach always felt that he could depend on Kermit to get in the game and fight. Paul Sturgell, Tackle (5 ft. 9 in., 193 lbs.) Paul was put out of the running early in the season by a broken collar-bone, but came back later and proved that he could still play. Ellis Tingley, Guard (5 ft. 8 in., 186 lbs.) Ellis will still be with us next year, and will help a lot of new players get started. Every man on this year’s Paris High gridiron will readily recall this familiar scene, in which Coach Glenn is giving his helpful criticism to the team between scrimmages. Ninrt -lu-o ATHLETICS THE ARENA Alan Tafunger, Tackle (5 ft. 8 in., 180 lbs.) Although he didn’t play in many games this year, he’ll be depended on greatly, next year. Remember this, Alan. Russell Sanstead, Center (6 ft., 170 lbs.) Russ, although a newcomer, played many an opposing center off his feet, and pepped up the whole team by his wisecracks. Allen Fidler, Tackle (5 ft. 8 in., 15 8 lbs.) Allen was a nice player, but was handicapped all season by a bum knee. Glen Dawson, Tackle (6 ft., 190 lbs.) Glen finished his fourth season of football this year, and will be greatly missed next year. John Dayton, Fullback (5 ft. 8 in., 150 lbs.) John gained some good experience this season, and is sure to land a berth on the varsity next year. Virgil Daily, End (5 ft. IQ' z in., 143 lbs.) Virge’s game at Clinton will long be remembered. His intercepting a forward pass gave Paris their lone score. These future Tigers” have already shown the traditional and characteristic fighting courage of Paris High, and even as cubs” promise favorably for future competition. Niiifiy-tbri Harold Humphrey, End (6 ft., 140 lbs.) Hump was rather light this year, but ought to make the team next year as an end or a hackfield man. John Millhouse, Fullback (5 ft. 6 in., 145 lbs.) Coconut,” although inexperienced, was always fighting. Lloyd Adams, Halfback (5 ft. 7 in., 141 lbs.) I.loyd was one of the surest tacklcrs we’ve seen for a long time, and always had that old fightin’ spirit.” Ci ias. Carter, Halfback (5 ft. 8 in., 144 lbs.) Chuck will be depended on next year to fill a hackfield position. Sam Cunningham, Halfback (5 ft. 10 in., 158 lbs.) Sam is also one who will be counted on next season. It was our team’s determination and unrelenting spirit which produced the desired results of this contest with Charleston T. C. Ninety-four William Cochran, Hal f back (5 ft. 55 2 in., 140 lbs.) Bill, although not very heavy, was fast as lightning. Remember how he made some of those Clinton boys look sick? Attaboy, Bill! Keep it up next year! Nolan Sullivan, Quarterback (5 ft. 105 2 in., 146 lbs.) Bus was plenty good, but was handicapped by a sprained ankle most of the season. Arthur Kilmer, Quarterback (5 ft. 6 in., 143 lbs.) Red was one of the fastest ballcarriers we had. We’ll never forget those wide end runs. Thomas Marquand, Fullback (5 ft. 6 2 in., 158 lbs.) Tom was one of the best line plungers in Eastern Illinois, and nearly always gained the foot or two needed for a first down. Maxwell Cochran, End (f ft. 10 in., 144 lbs.) Max was an end, and many times caught a long forward pass for a long gain or a score. The entire football season was accompanied and vividly colored by numerous tense moments and enthusiastic action similar to this uncertain situation. THE ARENA ATHLETICS St nJing: Catudv.

Although getting off to a poor start, the Tigers moved up into fourth position in the Eastern Illinois League standings. They accomplished this by winning seven league games in a row. Robert Gross, 32. Nittfly-tix Phil Best, Center This being Phil’s first year of real experience in basketball, we believe that he has a very creditable record. Next year will prove his real worth. Dean Edwards, Forward Dean always played the same consistent game. His accurate ball handling and shinning helped win many a game. Russeli Sanstead, Forward Russ, a new face in school this year, always could be counted on to play his best. Virgil Daily, Forward Virge developed fast, and ended the season as one of the best ball players on the team. Max Cochran (C.), Guard Max, the only one on the team with any former experience, will be with us again next year. Keep it up, Max. Harold Humphrey, Guard Hump” was mixed in every play, fighting all the time. Once started making baskets there was no stopping him. THE ARENA A T HLETICS Intra-Mural Basketball Each year opportunity for playing basketball is proffered the boys of Paris High in the form of intra-mural basketball teams, which are organized in each class according to the number of candidates. In the Senior Class the teams, Tulane and Florida, were formed; in the Junior Class, Southern California, Oregon, and Washington; in the Sophomore Class, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Pittsburgh; the Freshmen were represented by Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, Ohio and Chicago; places on the South American team were filled by Post-Graduates. The schedules were so arranged that every team competed with each of the remaining ones. Relative to the percentage of the number of games won, Florida, with 100%, finished in highest position. Following closely behind this team were Oregon and Pittsburgh, respectively. Needless to say, talent heretofore latent was revealed in these contests. Much credit for the success of the intra-mural basketball season is deserved by Allen Bcrc.aw, Arthur Kilmer, both referees, and by Lewis Fritch, who worked faithfully in the capacity of manager. Don Spicer, ’32. THE INTER-CLASS TOURNAMENT The most successful inter-class tourney ever held in Paris High School was staged in the gym on February 17 and 18. The first game was played by the Freshmen and Sophomores, in which the Sophomores won by a very narrow margin. The second game, between the Juniors and Seniors, was won by the Seniors, by four points. The following afternoon, at three-thirty, the Juniors won over the Freshmen, and at four-thirty the Sophomores took the floor against the Seniors for the championship game. The score was tied at many stages during the game, but the Seniors won, twenty-one to twenty, only after they had put forth their utmost effort. The largest advantage in any one game of the tourney was four points. Robert Gross, '32. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Casey, Illinois, March 10, 11, 12, 1932 The State District Tourney got under way at Casey on Thursday, March 10. The Tigers’ first game was with Casey, in which the Orange and Black fought its way to a 15-14 win. The next night, however, the Glenn coached basketeers lost to Oblong, the Eastern Illinois champs, by five points, 17 to 22. Oblong again merged victors in their second tourney this year at Casey, by beating Greenup in the finals. Niurtyfighl THE ARENA ATHLETICS Edgar County Tournament January 21, 22, 23, 1932 The Tigers, for the first time in three years, were eliminated in the first game of the tourney.

THE ELECTRIC TIME INDICATOR and SCOREBOARD caused much favorable comment, because of its intrinsic worth and beauty. It was generally understood that the clock had been given to the school, and guesses were many as to just who had made such a wonderful and practical gift. As was requested by the donor, the school officials did not make public the giver’s name. Now, however, the officials of the school and the entire student body take this opportunity of announcing and thanking the donor, Mr. Fenton English, P.H.S. Class of 1923.

The Varsity letter men nominated three men, and the student body voted on these three to determine the winner. Dean Edwards, Lloyd Adams and Max Cochran were nominated. Max received the greatest number of votes and was declared winner. Max has been a member of the football, basketball, and track squads for the last two years. He earned his first letter in football this year. As Captain of the basketball team he showed rare ability as a leader, and demonstrated many times his worthiness of the honor later bestowed upon him by the student body. In 1926, Mr. U. Rae Colson presented Paris High School with an official size silver football trophy, to be used as a Good Sportsmanship Trophy. Each year the athlete who is judged to be the best all-around sportsman is awarded the honor of having his name engraved upon the trophy. This honor is bestowed for the qualities which constitute sportsmanship rather than playing skill. The eight qualifications specified by the donor for the selection are: Courtesy to opponents on and off the floor. Courtesy to officials and respect for their decisions. Willingness to accept coach’s orders; general attitude in which he accepts reprimands and suggestions. Fighting spirit and morale in defeat or victory; attitude before, during and after a game. Willingness to sacrifice personal honors for the benefit of the team as a whole. Value to team as an all-round player.

The Girls’ Athletic Association The G.A.A. is composed of thirty-five members. The purpose of the organization is to promote the interest of sports in the minds of the girls and to teach them good sportsmanship. The G.A.A. is under the able guidance of Miss Doak, to whom we owe a debt of thanks for teaching us many games, refereeing them, and for donating so much time to the club. We had many new members this year, and to make them feel more at ease we decided to start the year off right by initiating them. We went out to Camp Kickapoo on an overnight hike, where the old members initiated the new ones. Everybody had loads of fun. Miss Huscr, Miss Beatty, and Miss Doak acted as chaperons. As for our activities, on Mondays and Thursdays we played hockey. On alternate Tuesdays we had our regular business meetings. The other Tuesdays we cither hiked or played hockey. Wednesday was our official skating day, and on Fridays we ended up our week with a long hike. About the middle of November we began our basketball practice on Saturday mornings. Every year we have four girls to manage different activities. Virginia McConchie was candy manager, and had charge of selling the candy at basketball and football games. The hiking manager was Wilma Jane Tucker. Madelyn Heck took care of the skating manager s office, and Marcella Kirsten was the basketball manager. Jane McFall, ,34. One Hundred Four ATHLETICS THE A R ENA T RESUME b £ V 7 O R$ So PHOMORBS Ju WIO Rs Girls' Basketball In the course of the last few years it has been the custom for the girls in each class to organize a basketball team to represent them in the tournament. This year the third week in February was set aside for the beginning of the preliminary games. Each Saturday morning, then, for the following three weeks the weaker teams were eliminated. The championship game was played at the Gym Review, March 4, the Seniors being victorious, 32 to 20. For the past three years this same team has won this championship, played according to the rules set forth by the Girls’ Athletic Association. These girls arc now Seniors, and having had four years of experience and training, were at their best this year; however, the Freshmen show great possibilities for coming years. Captains for the different teams were chosen as follows: Senior, Frances Blanford; Junior, Ethel Marie Crabtree; Sophomore, Jane McFall, and Freshman, Margaret Lou Colson. These captains conducted practices each Saturday morning with their teams, under the very able guidance of Miss Doak, physical education instructor in the school. Louise Zimmerman, 32. One Hundred five Features Washington’s fame came from his exploits and activities, but his popularity and the lovable side of his disposition were embodied in certain characteristics or features,” including his kindly humor and his delight in simple pleasures and pursuits. An interesting phase of Washington’s character was his humor. It is generally assumed that Washington was very deficient in this trait. Nothing could be more false. Although early and trying responsibilities added a certain gravity of demeanor, yet he had an acute sense of the ludicrous evident in his diary and conversation. His was the wholesome, hearty type of humor. A funny mishap, a practical joke, all merriment of a simple, honest type, were highly congenial to him. He also loved the simple pleasures which ordinary people enjoy. His home and family were a constant pleasure for him, and children were his especial delight. There was nothing he more enjoyed than a quiet game of cards, the inspecting and directing of his farming, or a fox-chase over the fields. Indeed, if we can forget the characteristics of Washington, the statesman and hero, there yet remains another phase, one far more lovable, remembrance of that individual, Washington, the man. John O. Honnold, Jr. ’32. Country Gentlemen The artist, Chappel, has contributed this painting to those showing Washington’s life. Here he is not the soldier, nor the statesman, but merely the Country Gentleman,’’ the man with his family and friends.
