We have done this, as you can see, by our increased efforts to make the Carnival as great a success as when we helped boost it in our freshmen year. Again this year we arc represented in debate, in the glee clubs and chorus, and according to the coaches we arc the thing” in basketball and football. The biggest attractions in the junior year are the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, held in May, to which all of us arc looking forward with the greatest enthusiasm. We hope to have a large crowd in attendance at our class play. We hope to continue this high standing next year and to make old P. H. S. really proud of us. ‘Tetris High School O —Avia Hickman 37.

When the Class of ’37 entered the portals of Paris High, the other students and the faculty were amazed at our brightness. They realized that we were something out of the ordinary, for our self-possession, dignity, and knowledge of our surroundings seemed to be a sure sign of intelligence. We started out on our path to glory by making a huge success of the freshman party. Although our number was very small, we resolved not to let this stand in our way. You remember the old saying, In union there is strength”; well, even if our union” was small, our strength” put twelve on the honor roll. As sophomores we did not stop our progress, but contributed to its favor by giving our best efforts to the Operetta, And It Rained,” and also to debate and chorus. The Tercentenary program last year would never have received the acclaim it did if it hadn’t been for the sophomore Latin students. SCHOOL SECTION The 1936 Arena

Time marches on’ , and the class of 38 is on the second lap of its journey through the perils and pleasures of Paris High School. Our sophomore year is one of comparative quiet, inasmuch as the busy rush of the freshman year is past, and we have not yet assumed the responsibilities reserved for juniors and seniors. But this fact clearly indicates that it is not a stagnant year, but one of steady, hard work,—a year of preparation. Along with work comes the satisfaction of seeing our friendships broaden and deepen. Besides, we are challenged by the vastness of material yet to be learned. We have our fun, too, and we claim no small number of out-standing students. We will be well remembered in basketball, football, and track for such good sports as Bell, Taflinger, Carey, Curl, McCollum, Shipley, Jones, Willian, and Henson. SCHOOL SECTION The 1936 Arena
