General science is compulsory for all fresh men. Mr. Iknayan, who came to Paris upon the resignation of Miss Steele, teaches all of this course except one class, taught by Mr. Little. Miss Luckhaupt is the instructor in biology, which replaced botany and zoology a few years ago. The third laboratory science is physics, the one class of which is taught by Mr. Ariens.

It is taught by Mr. Trulock, assistant coach, who is a newcomer to the faculty. Mr. Trulock also teaches solid geometry and business arithmetic. The last two are also half-year courses. Mr. Cottingham has general mathematics. Typing and shorthand are very popular subjects. A course of two years including both may be taken, or typing only may be taken in the senior year.

All of them co-operate with the students to make Paris High a better school. Their goodwill and unselfish aid are greatly appreciated by all of us, the student body.
