 Ttr+nty.fin, (H R BASIC MATERIAL—THE CLASS OF 1940 Handy. O’Hair. Divrly, Ewing. Class History We freshmen, who are the raw material for products to he finished in 1940, were first introduced to the machinery of this factory in September, 1936. About one hundred forty-five of us came from the Mayo Departmental School, eighty-seven from the country schools throughout this section, and fourteen from the parochial school. At first we were a hit awkward, but, after becoming familiar with the regular routine, we began to look around to see what we could do. First we found athletics. Early in the year some of the hoys went out” for football. Later, others busied themselves with basketball. Now some are working on track. Meanwhile the girls had learned of G.A.A. ami were at work earning credits in that organization. We entered literary fields. Imogene Bright, Helen Carrell, Donice Sweeley, and Sally W ells joined the Tiger .Mirror' staff. Cassandra Bristow and James Stanfield were admitted to the Debaters9 (Huh. Several of us took part in the elimination spelling contest; one of whom, Cleo Everett, was chosen to represent our school with one member from each of the other classes. We are represented in music, too. Several of us are members of the Glee Club and Chorus. Jack O’Brien, Sally Wells, and Helen Carrell are in the High School Orchestra. We have done our hit by serving on committees for all the school parties. We are proud to say that seventeen freshmen made the honor roll the first semester, two of whom, Joseph Ewing and Kathryn Divelv, had an average of ninety-five or above. Jack Man , had an average of ninety-five for the second quarter. So far this year, we freshmen have been very happy in this great factory of knowledge. We are trying our best to help the machinery run smoothly and efficiently. The motto of the class of 1940 is: Bigger and better production in Paris High School.—Cleo Everett. 40.
