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
