Ex Libris The Arena VOLUME XXIV Published by the SENIOR CLASS PARIS HIGH SCHOOL PARIS- ILLINOIS FOREWORD | N selecting the theme for this annual, we have chosen one which we think coincides with the spirit of Paris High-Progress. In so doing, we now cherish and shall continue to cherish this diary of our school days. DEDICATION |“O the Spirit of Progress, which has given to us the greatest comforts, the greatest privileges, and the greatest en-lightenments and achievements, we appreciatively dedi cate this book. BOOK OF CONTENTS Views Faculty School Activities Athletics Features THE A9EHA OF 9A7l%' - In Memoriam In memory of HON. FRANK T. O’HAIR who took an intense interest in our High School; whose kind gift of the Secnarf and Notsuh prizes will always he gratefully rememhered; and whose untimely death robbed Paris High School of one of its best friends and loyal supporters. In his going Paris High School lias lost a great and good friend. In memory of BETTY LINDSEY, our classmate, whose three years spent in Paris High School were all too short. She took an active part in all worth-while school activities, and her sad death during the summer months was mourned by all her friends and classmates. MAIN ENTRANCE AUDITORIUM ENTRANCE Explanation of the Theme On the first of June. 1933, Chicago will throw open the gates of its second World's Fair—a Century of Progress Exposition. For one hundred and fifty days thereafter, the story of mankind’s achievements in the past hundred years will he thrillingly depicted. A century ago. Chicago was a straggling frontier village. Today it i a world metropolis. Although it chances that Chicago was incorporated as a village in 1833, the Exposition is not solely intended to he a colossal demonstration of exultation on the advancement of Chicago, within the limits of a century. This is truly in every sense an Exposition belonging to the world. The one great motif of a Century of Progress is the rise of mankind during the last hundred years,—the most outstanding hundred years of scientific discoveries, of miraculous improvements in li ing conditions of the people of the earth that ever has heen seen. The motifs used for the 1933 Arena are the same as are being used by the World’s Fair Board on their literature concerning the World's Fair. The star, Arcturus. on these motifs has a special significance and a direct hearing upon Chicago’s Exposition in 1933 of a Century of Progress. This pin-point of light in the constellation. Bootes, which only the student of astronomy knows how to locate, is approximately forty light-years distant from our earth. Forty times the distance that light travels in one year; and in a single second light moves 186.300 miles! When the great Chicago Fair of 1893 opened its gates to the world, Arcturus flashed forth rays which are destined to reach us at the very time the still greater Chicago Fair of 1933 gets under way. Those who have planned the forthcoming Exposition intend to sound the signal for its official commencement by causing an Arcturus beam to impinge upon a photo-electric cell that will, in turn, transmit its power to instruments that will open the doors to the science exhibits. Thus are the two greatest of world's fairs linked by the path of a star ray,—certainly a demonstration of the progress attained by science in the interval of forty years. As the Century of Progress Exposition is the outstanding event during the year in which the class of 1933 will graduate, we have chosen this as the theme for the 1933 Arena. Just as the purpose of the Exposition is to trace growth and development during the last century, so we have attempted to trace the growth of our school during the century. Mary Jane Weberg “33. The History of the Arena It is to the class of 1910 that we are indebted for the publication of the first “Arena.” The name “Arena” was submitted by Clifford Rahel, a Sophomore, during a contest held in the school, and was selected because of the similarity of the school activities to the games of the Arena in the early Roman times. The first book was a small album with a paper cover, tied with orange and black cord. In the school year 1914 1915, a quarterly magazine called the “Clarion’ was published in place of the “Arena”; since that time the book has been published under the present name by the graduating class of P.II.S. Much of the success of this year book can be attributed to Miss Wenz. Miss Slemmons, Miss Boland, Miss Fansler, Miss Tate, and Miss Wright, who have acted as faculty advisors. ness 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1915 1916 1916 1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 Following is a list of students who have served as editors and busi-managers.

T Y F C U rr'HE growth of our schools in the last century is very interesting, and especially so is the development of tlie faculty or teaching staff. Before 1855, the schools were sustained mostly by private means, and every community claimed tlie privilege of managing the school without interference of other parties or modification hv general laws. The teachers were accountable only to their employers, and no particular standard of qualification was required. When the public school system had been in operation for four years Sheridan P. Read, Superintendent of Schools, said that the great need that was felt was for well-qualified teachers. So as time passed this condition was remedied. Fifteen years later Superintendent Mapes in his report congratulated the county on the fact that a law had been passed requiring additional qualifications for the teachers. The standard at this time would have ruled out nine-tenths of the instructors in Mr. Read's time. As time passed, the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges was created, and Paris High School was on the accredited list from the beginning. Under the rules of this organization every teacher of an academic subject was required to he a college graduate. Thus a great change is seen from the schoolmaster in the first log school house to our large, well-trained teaching staff of twenty-five at the present time. Mary Jane Weberg, 33. F A C U L T Y Administration Building The Administration Building of lofty ceilings, high windows, warm colors, and advanced forms of illumination was the First Exposition building to he completed. It is in the form of a huge letter “E” with the three wings of the open side facing a lagoon. This building, official headquarters for the Exposition staff, is actually the experimental laboratory for a Century of Progress. John R.

The first school building was erected in 1824, soon after the first settlers had built their own humble low houses. In 1841 Rev. H. I. Venable founded a school for «iirls known as Kdgar Academy. He was later induced to make it co-educational. The Academy occupied the ground now belonging to the Catholic Church. A select school or academy was also established under the auspices of the Methodist Church about 1848. It was built on the ground where Mayo School is situated. This school was purchased in 1875 hv the Paris Union School District, and a building erected which was used both as a high and grade school until 1908. The High School department had been first organized in 1871, and classes have graduated annually since 1875. The rapid growth of the High School made it necessary to provide a separate building on South Main Street in 1908. This was adequate until 1921 when two additional wings were added, which completed our present High School. Thus from a feeble beginning the schools of Paris have grown and expanded to accommodate the increasing demands for education.

Near here, a century ago, stood the original Fort Dearborn; and still nearer occurred in 1812 the massacre by Indians of the brave inhabitants of the Fort. Its log battlements stand in vivid contrast to the skyscrapers of Michigan Boulevard, a short distance away. The Fort is furnished in true pioneer fashion. A C1MTUBY or pjocatu J. Dorris E. M. Crabtree A. Rhoads M. Tahble President Vice President Secretary Treasurer History of the Class of 33 This class drifted into High School about the fall of 1929. The membership was a few more than it is now. As we weren't bashful, we just told the teachers how good we were, and they took us at our word. As a result of this, we were taken down the line a little, hut although we didn't do so much, great things were expected of us, and rightly. And we did have a great literary society. The next year we entered school feeling three or four years older, and very important (knowing that there was a freshman class beneath us), and very wise. I bis last idea was speedily extracted from our thoughts hv the teachers, who knew lots harder questions than the ones they gave the year before. I bis greatly upset our “piece of mind hut we struggled on valiantly. If Emerson had visited our high school during the year ‘31 -‘32, and had seen the Junior Class, he would immediately have jotted down in his notebook. “Great minds at work and at play. Not only does our class have great minds, but it went places in athletics during this period. During this time one of our schoolmates was singularly honored, as we have now had the “best president of the “best class in school for two different years. During this, the final year for us, almost all worthwhile organizations have been overrun with Seniors. Word has reached our class that there is a depression of money and what goes with it in the outer world, hut there's no depression of brains and talent and ambition in the class of 1933; rather a boom. I might also add that, as we graduate this year, some nice folks got together and decided to have a little fair for us at Chicago. I know the memory of this class w ill long he cherished by the entire school, and I hope the memories are pleasant ones. Max E. Tarble '33.

Cu.mm Treusurer History of the Class of 34 It is said that the Junior year in hi rh school is the happiest period of the whole school career. We Juniors can readily believe that, although we haven’t passed the crisis, semester exams! Our only cross is that our honored instructors expect us to he grown up “models for the lower classmen. Dear teacher, we do enjoy the laurels and dignity of upper classmen, hut we just can’t give up our capers. We are famed for our prowess, both physical and mental, and there are proofs of our great wit and energy. As Sophomores our inter-class basketball team won second place in the tournament. At present the main stays on the athletic field and floor are members of our class. Another feather in our cap is tin fact that the Good Sportsmanship Trophy went to a Sophomore last year. Still another was added when a Junior ranked first in the County Spelling Contest this year. As for clubs, nearly every association in school boasts Junior celebrities. And last, but not least, we really like to study—believe it or not! The revival of the honor system doubtless helps, and according to present indications, the party to be given those making the honor roll promises to be a regular Junior gathering. We had a gav time at our Sophomore party last April, and, if the cracker-jack will permit me, “the more fun we had, the more we wanted.” We are looking forward to even more merriment, if such a thing is possible, at our promised Junior party. The annual Jun'or play is under way now. and promises to be tin hit of the season. Other activities are the K. I. League contests, where some of us expect to win over the judges by our boundless wit and intellect. Thus we fill our days with work and play, “still achieving, still pursuing,” and having lots of fun doing it. 35 B. Dennis ’34.

With a sigh of relief we, no longer strangers, went our way, glancing now and then at some forlorn Freshman struggling up the third flight of stairs or searching desperately for his next classroom. Little did they realize how much amusement they provided for us. Our class, among the others here, appreciates the good times and will keep them in mind. Last year we had a Freshman party and hope for another this year. In all high-school activities from basketball to debating our members have been outstanding. We did our best in the class basketball tournament, ranking third. In “Chonita” and “Ellis Isle Revue” a number of our members contributed their part. Indeed, their achievements may well be compared to the events of this last Century of Progress which this Arena celebrates. Can you not easily imagine us as an automobile—very speedy and improving each year? The brilliance of our members, as many of our teachers have discovered, is surprisingly similar to that of the incandescent light bulbs. Often our broadcasting is so loud and enthusiastic that, with the growing static of the Freshmen, it is almost necessary to reduce the volume. Just as an aeroplane takes ofT on the ground floor and soars into the clouds, the class of 35 will go higher and higher, hoping to make a happy landing at the end of the four years. Therefore, on the whole it is probably a fortunate thing that the Freshmen, during these historical and trying times, have us as an example to become outstanding and to learn how to act kindly towards the new class of 37.

Els berry Treasurer History of the Class of 36 The Freshman class of 1933 didn't enter high school, scared and trembling, as it is generally agreed that Freshmen should. Instead, we entered full of curiosity as to what this new’ adventure would he like. Soon we settled into the regular school routine, ami began to master the difficult art of descending the middle stairs without danger to our necks. For the most part, we ignored the wonderful example set for us hv the upperclassmen. We appreciated the example, hut being a brainy class, we naturally had ideas of our own as to how to conduct ourselves. Of course the upperclassmen tried to tease us by calling us “freshies, hut these taunts went in one ear and out the other. High school really couldn't go on without the Freshmen. We are represented in almost every school activity. There are hoys out for football, basketball. and track: the girls have a basketball team, too. and many of them belong to the G.A.A. Then both hoys and girls are in the Glee Clubs and Chorus. What class was it that had more pupils on the honor roll than any other? It was the Freshman class, of course. Our basketball team did place last in the inter-class tournament, hut the hoys put up a mighty good fight and we're proud of them. We're proud of our school, too. and of the upperclassmen who have won honors for it. W e're going to work, and help make F.H.S. the most famous school ever heard of. Well. I guess you've all come to the conclusion that Paris High can't do without us and that in every respect we're a credit to the school. Anyway, we're here, and we're holding our own.

The Senior class has a membership of 117 students, the Junior Class 167, the Sophomore Class 137, the Freshman 204, ami Post Graduates, 14. The enrollment in the latter division is larger than ever before. A number of these are taking commercial courses; others are doing advanced work in science or reviewing the languages. 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 Knglish. 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. ami 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 argiculture, two years of manual training, a year of foods, clothing, ami economics. The faculty consists this year of twenty-four 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, three of whom devote full time to the subject; the Latin department, two; French, one; science, four; history, four; commercial, three: foods, one; mathematics, two: agriculture. one; manual training, one; physical training, two.

One of the earliest organizations was the Paris High School Cadets, which was organized in 18%. It was the pride of the community and tlit most popular and promising organization in the school. The Alethenai, a literary society, was organized February 2. 1915 with forty-seven students signed as charter members. The counselors were Miss Wenz and M iss Slemmons. I here have been several debating dubs organized in Paris High School; one in 1915; the Forum in 1917: the Physticuphs, for boys, in 1919: and the ranglers. a girls’ debating society, a year later. This was the first debating club for girls in the history of Paris High School. In 1921 a Rifle Club was begun. A range was set up on the third floor of the school, and guns, targets, and ammunition were supplied by the government. These are only a few of the various organizations which have been formed in Paris High School. Some of those we have at present are the Illinium, Debating Society, G.A.A., Future Farmers of America, three glee clubs, and an orchestra. A CCMTURY or pjocrtn Mary Jane Weberg, 33.

The “curve route” is a very winding road, with many hills, and only a limited number of students can attain a speed of “A”. The traffic is very heavy, and the competition lively on this route. The Freshman class carried off the honors for having the most contestants to reach the town of Good Scholarship. As a reward for reaching this town, every student that is victorious for at least one quarter of the year will he invited to a banquet given in the spring. The banquet also encourages many more students to “step on the gas” a little harder in order to win the race. At the end of the first semester, the following students were eligible to attend the forthcoming Good Scholarship banquet. Raker.

Secnarf and Notsuh Prize Winners 1932 For the past nine years a philanthropic citizen of Paris, who wished his name to remain unknown, has given to Paris High School two prizes. These prizes, which consist of twenty dollars in gold and a gold pin, are awarded annually; one for superior scholarship, the other for excellence in oratory. The untimely death of Mr. Frank T. O’Hair revealed that he wTas the interested citizen, who had so encouraged oratory and scholarship in our high school. The Secnarf Prize for scholarship, which can come only to a Senior, was won last year by Margaret Wixsom, with an average of 93.97%. The other prize, the Notsuh Oratorical prize, governed by rules laid down by the benefactor, was won by John O. Honnold. The Appeal to Arms' by Patrick Henry was the winning oration. Winners in former years are: Secnarf Scholarship I’rize Harrv Crede 1923 96.22% Josephine Cockcroft. 1924 95.88% Margaret Graham 1925 94.07% Mary Anna Fads 1926 96.08% Betty Lou Hunter 1927 9 1,59', Margaret Parker 1928 95.41% Eleanor atson 1928 95.41% Henry Tanner 1929 94.68% Maxine McDivitt. .. 1930 94.71% Murphv Dorris 1931 97.42% Notsuh Oratorical I’rize Kenneth Jenks..................1923 Lee St roll I I()lM Philip Young...................1925 Natalie Jenks ... 1926 Margaret Parker............... 1927 Robert Sanders 1928 Susanne Johnson............... 1929 Murphy Dorris................. 1930 James Dorris.................. 1931 Pitiu.ii Best ’33. The 1932 Debate Teams A CMTUHY or PMC81II The test for a good debating subject is its fairness to both sides. Last year’s subject must have been perfect: for not one, but both Paris teams won, not once, but all the time. The subject was stated thus: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance. hen the final tryouts were made, the following were chosen to represent to the school. George Johnson. Crystal Funkhouser, and John (). Honnohl, made up the affirmative team, which was coached by Miss Hoehstrasser. The negative team coached by Miss Bosie consisted of Paul Ilartricb. Elmer Griffin, and Margaret ixsom. By winning two debates from every team represented in the E. I. League, namely, Robinson, Greenup, Casey, and Oblong, and by emerging victorious from two debates in the District Contest held at Charleston, the Paris team amassed a sufficient number of points to earn two banners and a silver trophy, and the right to enter tin state finals. In May they went to tin state finals at Normal. Illinois. The affirmative w beat Carthage, having had as their motto, Carthago delenda est. This victory raised them to fifth place in the state. The 1932 debate season closed as a successful one. 'The debaters had gained much from their experience, and they had also had many pleasant times. Crystal Ft nkiioi jskr ‘33. Standing: Johnson.

Patrick Henry once said, ”I have hut one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I In debate club is the lamp of experience which guides tin debate teams against opponents from other schools. Meetings were held each I uesday after school. The members made a detailed study of the present system of taxation and of trying to find a plan by which to alleviate the present tax burden. In the final tryouts, members for the 1933 team were chosen. I here was Crystal Funkhouser, who bears all evidence of being a veteran; Mary Baker, the actress, who made her dehut in the ‘‘Ellis Isle Review”; and Phil Best, the athlete, who surely knows how to handle footballs and basketballs. These three made up the affirmative team which was coached by Miss Parrish. Miss Hoehstrasser coached the negative team, which was made up of Mary Ida Stcidl, kitten on the keys; W illis Hamilton, who toots his horn; and Claude Philips, whom the students envy for his A+. The subject for this year is stated: “Resolved: That at least 50% of all revenues for state and local purposes should be derived from sources other than tangible property.” C. Funkhouser 33.

The club received its name from the only chemical element discovered in America, illinium. The discovery was made by Professor Hopkins of the University of Illinois. The purpose of the club is to increase the interest of the students of Paris High School in science. Meetings are held twice a month. Our programs consist of four talks, one from each of the following departments: chemistry, physics, biology, and physiology. We also were fortunate enough to have several guest speakers. The entrance requirement has been that a student should have had at least one year of science; we added new members this year by letting all freshmen join who made A on their report cards for one quarter. They can remain in the club as long as they retain their grade of A. This year our club is again a member of the Junior Academy of Science in the State of Illinois. Last May our officers attended the State Convention at the University of Chicago. There they saw many interesting places such as the Field Museum.and they attended many interesting lectures at the University. We had a steak fry at the opening of the school year for old members only. However, as we had some money left in the treasury, we entertained with a Christmas Party.

I he skit, a 1 policing bit of drama with an occasional note of seriousness, so typical ol the class itself, was centered about a romantic young girl, a crook, and an irate parent. Sally, the peacemaker, cleverly untangles the complicated threads, and the romantic young thing is safely married to a reliable young and struggling newspaper reporter, while the crook is sufficiently punished. I he play reaches the “They lived happily ever after” point with a ’’Yes” from Sally for the now happy parent.

If this is really true, music will be especially important at the Chicago “Century of Progress, where representatives of many nations will gather. Surely it can be of no more consequence there than in Paris High School. Never is the piano kept so busy as it is on Tuesdays and I hursdays the sixth period, when forty chorus members meet in the music room. I nder the supervision of Miss Ethel B. Hougham. we have taken part in many school events. In October we sang for the Teachers Institute; on November 21 some of our girls took speaking and chorus parts in Ellis Isle Revue ; and on December 15, we provided the background for “Chonita. We have not only accomplished much worthwhile in the past, but the future holds many promises. March the 31st brings to us our Spring Festival under the direction of Mr. Ray Dvorak, in which we will participate. On Sunday afternoon, April 16. we will sing in an Easter Cantata.

Thirty years ago the first game of basket hall was played hy Paris High School students. The following young men composed the team: Conn Wiltiek, guard; John Wetzel, guard; Claire Groves, center: Claude Winn, forward: Claude Pifer, forward. An outstanding team was that of 1911. which played and won every scheduled game of the season including both district and sectional tournaments. I his team was made up of Fauver Huston, Captain; Karl Cumin. Don Hamilton, Leon Arbuckle, Herbert Shellenherger, Ary St. John and Ylarce Keys. By 1911, football was the only department of organized athletics that had not been developed. This was not because of lack of interest or scarcity of football material, hut because of the inability to obtain an athletic field for playing purposes. Great honors have been attained hy Paris High School athletes on track and field. In this department individual students have won honors of state and national significance. For instance. Hay llonnold won the high jump at the State Meet and also at the Invitational Meet of Coach A. A. Stagg at Chicago. Basil Bennett 14. who won honors at home and abroad, was entered in the Olympic Games in Holland. These athletes and many others have won fame and glory for Paris High School in sports.

Paris was favored to win, Casey was picked to place second, and Charleston was boosted hv its followers as the dark horse. As you see, only the latter ran true to form. The schedule wras as follows: opportunity to use the gym and equal opportunity to develop physically through its program of intramural basketball. In the Senior class the teams participating were Stanford. Washington. Southern California; in the Junior class, Michigan, on the field of action. The schedules were arranged so that every team competed with every other won, making Southern California second and Purdue third. Through this method of intramural sports all the boys in the high school are offered optional physical training, and along with it valuable varsity basketball material is developed. e owe our thanks to Orville Goff for his interest in the tournament.

Good Sportsmanship Winners (In Former ears) Willi%m Mi kimiv, 1930 Edward Gilli m, 1929 Carl McGow n, 1928 92 H ROLD III MPIIRKY Good Sportsmanship In 1925, Mr. IT. Kae Colson gave to Paris High School an official size silver football, which was to he used as a Good Sportsmanship Trophy. Each year, the athlete who is judged to he the hest all-around sportsman, not only for playing skill hut also for general attitude, is given the honor of having his name engraved on the trophy. Until last year, it had always been the custom for a committee of business men and the coach to select the man most suited for this high honor. Last year, however, the varsity letter men nominated three men for the honor, and the student body voted on these three to determine the winner. The same plan was followed this year. The three nominees were: Phillip Best, Lloyd Adams, and Harold Humphrey. Humphrey received the highest number of votes from the student body, and was declared winner. Harold Humphrey's election by the student body as their choice for the 1933 good sportsman award meets with the hearty approval of all who know Hump. ’ Harold’s athletic achievements and his all around accomplishments as a student bring honor not only to himself hut to the student body of Paris High School. The long list of good sportsmen who have preceded Humphrey honors and are honored hv his becoming a member. The eight qualifications specified by the__________________________________ donor for the selection are: Courtesy to opponents on and olf the floor. Courtesy to officials and respect for their decisions. Willingness to accept coach’s orders; genera1 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-around player. Adherence to training rules and clean living generally during entire school year. Scholastic standing. 93 FEATURES f 11HKRE have been in the growth of otir schools humorous as A well as serious incidents. The following seemed verv serious, of course, at the time it occured. In 1850 a great scandal at the F.dgar Academy almost disrupted the peaceful little village of Paris. It was in that year that James Nelson, with his sister. Miss Jennie Nelson, took over the management of the academy. Strange rumors about the school were in circulation. One good brother was willing to swear that while doing some repair work about the building he had heard and seen Miss Nelson reading to the pupils from one of those awful yellow-hacked novels. Another had seen the students indulging in a sinful dance. It was reported that this was called “cal-is-thcn-ics, hut it was dancing just the same and something had to be done about it. Finally one day the townspeople received an invitation to visit the academy. A health talk was given in which the benefits of physical exercise were stressed. Then Miss Nelson told the value of good reading and gave a resume of the yellow-hacked novel, entitled “The Wide, Wide World,” and school was dismissed. That was the last heard of the awful “goings-on” at the academy. Mary Jane Weberg, ’33.

Having learned their “readin’, writin' and ’rithme-tic” they7 passed from under the guidance of Miss Vance through four more years, packed with accomplishments, to High School. Here, after passing safely through the trials and tribulations allotted to Freshmen and having mastered the flood of “importance which assailed us as Sophomores and Juniors, thirteen of us finally reached the Senior year, a justly proud group, indeed. We feel that we have successfully navigated the sea of knowledge and are at last to realize our ideal,—graduation. Our only hope is that the world holds the same kindness and spirit of helpfulness that was lavished on us by the faculty of Paris High School, and that we may someday in the not too distant future repay them for their labors.
