Awards of Merit Paris High School is very proud of her trophies and of the students who have made it possible for the trophy case in the north end of the main hall to be over-crowded. We are also proud of the fact that these trophies are for athletics, such as relays, basketball, and track; others symbolize literary ability and stand for excellence in debate; and others represent musical awards, won by the glee club, and chorus. The first trophy in the case is dated 1907, and in the span of twenty years Paris has accumulated over sixty awards. It is the sincere wish of all that such trophies will continue to come to Paris and that some graduating class wrill find it possible to donate to the school a case worthy of the trophies.

micim.iii OF OI K PIIOIIUCT As the products of a factory are tested to determine tlieir strength, so the high school, in one respect, is tested ltv its athletic program. After the raw material has been brought into the plant for development, and before many changes have been made, its strength and durability are tested. Along the path to completion, other tests are made so that when it is put up for sale, it is practically perfected to the nth degree. In much the same manner the athletics of the high school, representing its physical prowess, is tested. When school starts in September, the student body is canvassed to see what athletic material is available. This material is then trained and tested through contests and, when a measure of perfection is obtained, sent on its alloted task to compete in athletic contests with other schools.
