Dorsett Jke 946 rena THE THIRTY-SEVENTH VOLUME OF THE ARENA IS PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF PARIS HIGH SCHOOL, PARIS, ILLINOIS, DEPICTING SCHOOL LIFE AND SONGS THROUGH THE SEASONS. Popular music reflects the emotions of Americans through the years. During the war, song writers expressed the loneliness of thousands separated by the conflict; now that the fighting men are returning home from the battlefields of the world, songs are lighter and more cheerful. Who is more familiar with the latest hits than the youth of America and especially the students of Paris High School? From September through May they are singing their way through a maze of studies. Current songs have been tied in with the various school activities of the seasons. It is hoped that this book will not only serve as a record of school life at Paris High, but also as a memory book of songs through the seasons. OLD TUNES SARA TEASDALE As the waves of perfume, heliotrope, rose, Float in the garden when no wind blows, Come to us, go from us, whence no one knows, So the old tunes float in my mind, And go from me leaving no trace behind, Like the fragrance born in the hush of the wind. But in the instant the airs remain I know the laughter and the pain Of times that will not come again. I try to catch at many a tune Like petals of light fallen from the moon, Broken and bright, on a dark lagoon, But they float away—for who can hold Youth, or perfume, or the moon's gold? — v a y ,.,4 p r n •• ••:• ; A 1 W I 1 ? 5 ' 1——-— • B acknowledgments The staff wants to acknowledge those persons who have given invaluable service in the production of The Arena: Mr. Lynn Sanders and Mr. Carl Killion, Jr., photographers; Mr. Owen Marsh of the Pontiac Engraving Company; and Mr. Minor L.

Moss, Superintendent of Schools, provides the students of Paris with the necessary tools for learning. He performs these duties in a competent and pleasant manner. He is especially interested in the educational and social welfare of all students under his supervision. To the Members of the Class of 1946: In meditating upon what to write that would be interesting and valuable to the members of the Class of 1946, I thought of the definition of an educated person according to Isocrates, the Athenian orator and teacher of rhetoric who was born in 436 B.C. Its conciseness and appropriateness, in my opinion, justifies its reading by all serious-minded students. It follows: Whom, then, do I call educated? First, those who control circumstances instead of being mastered by them, those who meet all occasions manfully and act in accordance with intelligent thinking, those who are honorable in all dealings, who treat good natur-edly persons and things that are disagreeable, and furthermore, those who hold their pleasures under control and are not overcome by misfortune, finally those who are not spoiled by success. These precepts of Isocrates are referred to with the hope that they will aid in some small way the members of the Class of 1946 in facing the problems of life. JOHN R. MOSS. BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education guides the students of Paris through their twelve years of schooling. The members who serve on this board are the citizens of today interested in the welfare and the development of the citizens of tomorrow. Left to Right: Sam Blair, William Cramer. B. O. Luttrell, Rodney Bell, Francis Hartwich. A FRIEND OF YOURS ARTHUR C. FORSTER, B. Ed., M. A. In this his fourth year as principal of Paris High School, Mr. Forster has endeavored to make this high school modern by introducing vocational subjects, such as distributive education and building trades, and at the same time preserving a balance with the cultural subjects. TO THE STUDENTS OF The achievements of our young men and women in the armed forces during the recent war and their almost universal acknowledgment of the value of a high school education, have confirmed our belief that every young man and woman should continue his education at least through high school. The high school of today not only meets the needs of those preparing to go to college, but it also provides vocational training for those who will not attend college, and for those who wish to earn at least a part of their college expense. A high school education has intrinsic value because PARIS HIGH SCHOOL: it represents training in many fields of subject matter of both cultural and vocational significance. It prepares the student to become a better thinker and a more useful citizen of the community. The Class of 1946 is going out of high school into a world at peace, and a world changed in many respects from that into which any previous class has gone. I believe the members of this class are well equipped to meet their responsibilities to society. May their achievements be a just reward for their efforts and may a world at peace offer them many opportunities to succeed. ARTHUR C. FORSTER, Principal. MARY ELLEN TWEEDY Mr. Forster’s secretory. Miss Tweedy, better known os Mary Ellen, is depended upon by the principal, teachers, and students. She is indispensable to the smooth functioning of the school. Often she is the bearer of such glad news as a pep meeting or a vacation. Food is a particular pastime —concentrating on coffee and pie crust. Beta Sigmo Phi is her favorite extra-curricular activity. MARGARET SULLIVAN As secretary to Mr. Moss. Miss Sullivan has a variety of duties. Her rapid typing is often interrupted when she stops to lend the students a helping hand. Keeping house occupies most of her out-of-chool hours, but she does find time for an occasional movie or game of auction—contract strictly taboo. Her biggest gripe” is hiking home in rainy and snowy weother.

Under the direction of Coach Ernie Eveland, the Tigers used the ”T formation with a team of big and fast boys. The Tigers started their season at Tuscola. This would have proved a good match except for the Tigers' bad luck. Crabtree's brilliant quarter-back sneak gave Paris the first touchdown of the season. Paris was on Tuscola's two-yard line when the game ended with the score—Tuscola, 14: Paris, 12. The Tigers came right back the next week with that old fighting spirit. 19 first downs to Marshall's 4 were made, but penalties held them down. One of the outstanding plays of the season was in a series of completed poses made by the Carli-Brewster combination. When the final horn was sounded, the Tigers were on Marshall's two-yard line, and the score was 6 all. Paris traveled to Oblong for the next battle determined to win. The Tigers came out on top. This was the only E. I. League game won. When the last play was made, Paris had 20 to 0 for Oblong. On October 5, the Tigers went to Charleston only to battle the Trojans up and down the field with no score. They failed to score deep in the enemy territory. Neither could the Trojans muster enough strength to push the ball through the Fighting Tigers' line. The next week Areola was played. The Tigers ran wild and scored 14 points in the first quarter. The end runs of Steidl and Carli accounted for several first downs. Paris emerged from the game with 21 points to Areola's 6. The next two games found the Tigers playing two highly rated teams in the state, Casey and Newman. With Casey's sneok play the game ended in a tie, 7 all, as Crabtree burst the ball in kicking an extra point. In the other game bad luck struck again. When the score was tallied, Newman had 31 points to Paris' 12. Firs Row: Stephens, I. Tolen, Grohom, Bailey, Johnson, Fowler, Reed, Roberts, V. Cummins, Dawson, Wilhoit, Geekie, C.

Nothing was gained on fumbles deep in enemy territory. Gertsmeyer scored 12 points to 6 for the Tigers. In the last game of the season with Newton, the Tigers failed to score. Newton's powerful drives enabled them to pile up 13 points. The Tigers were outplayed in only two games— Newman and Newton—and in others they just didn't have Lady Luck on their side. Their season's record was 2 wins, 4 losses, and 3 ties. It is unusual when a team ties three games in one season. With the experience gained this season the Tigers should play a rugged brand of ball next fall. Left to Right: Rode. Frey, Eslinger, Graham, Wright. Bristow. THE ORANGE CAPTAIN BILL CRABTREE—Senior Back Bill was the key man in the Paris “T formation this year. His place as passer, punter, and ground-gainer will be hard to fill next year. TOM BERGAN—Senior Tackle Tom was a shifty man who broke up plays in the backfield as well as in the line. He will certainly be missed next year. ROBERT WALLER—Junior End Bob saw plenty of action in the last two games of the season. He was a valuable player on defense, especially on stopping end runs. SHIRLEY ELDREDGE—Senior Back Shirk's power and speed made him a hard man to stop on his end runs and line plunges. He proved this in the game at Oblong. DON CLARK—Senior Back Horsey galloped all over the gridiron when he got his hands on that pigskin. After a year in the Navy, he was a headache to the enemy. JAMES FORSTER—Senior Guard Jim was really a threat when he got up steam. When least expected he would plunge over the line and nail the ball or the carrier. DOW MORRIS—Junior Center Buggar proved to be a tough boy in that line. He is a good prospect for first-string center next year. JOE DAVIDSON—Senior Back With his speed and hard driving, Joe carried that pigskin for long gains. He saw some action on the first string in the middle of the season. JACK ASHER—Junior Tackle Jack's size and weight proved to be an advantage. He was a big rock to move in the Newman game. Jack will be back next year to show his stuff. BUD SULTZER—Senior End Bud was good at slicing in and breaking up plays. He worked hard all season and held the enemy when coach sent him into the game. ROBERT OWENS—Junior End Bob's favorite play was the basketball pass. With his passing ability and his educated toe he will be back to make trouble for the opponents. TOM ENGLUM—Senior Tackle Tom was a boy who opened up holes in that line. He played hard football all season. His specialty was blocking punts and picking up fumbles. AND THE BLACK JIM BREWSTER—Senior End Lujock's ability to catch passes and to gain ground made him a valuable player. He was missed in the last two games because of an injury. FOSTER CAMPBELL—Freshman Quarterback Foss displayed his ability to call plays and carry them through at Charleston when Crabtree was injured. A potential football captain. BILL TONEY—Sophomore Tackle Two Ton Toney had plenty of weight to hold that line. He is rough, tough, and ready, and should be a valuable player next year. JOHN CARLI—Junior Back John was a whiz on quick opening plays. He gained yards on flashy end runs and headlong plunges through the line. He will be the main cog next year. GEORGE PERRY—Senior Tackle Sir George was difficult to budge from that line. Too bad he did not have another year to make use of the experience he has gained. GERALD ASHLEY—Junior Back Jed made a good quarterback for the second team. He will be back next year bigger and better than ever. ROBERT CURL—Senior Center Red lived up to the color of his hair. He specialized in keeping kick-offs in enemy territory. He was all over the field tackling and blocking. WALTER STEIDL—Junior Back Walt was an atomic bomb on the gridiron. No enemy play on the field was safe from his spine-splintering tackle. He was a threat to all. ROBERT HENN—Senior Tackle Whitey was a first-string lineman who saw plenty of action. He stopped the enemy's line cold, and was always ready to pounce on a fumble. DALE WATSON—Senior End Dale had a lot of height and pep. He sometimes gave a superb example of how to play end. With a little more polish he would have been tops. CHARLES DEEM—Junior Guard Chuck was the man feared by all opponents. He broke up plays before they were started. He was the one-man line at Charleston. MAX SMOCK—Senior Guard Max proved capable of breaking up opponents' plays. He was a good blocker and tackier. This made him a hard man to keep off the first eleven. THERE YOU GO CROSS COUNTRY Cross country, although one of the less publicized sports in Paris High, acts as a conditioner for the big three —football, basketball, and track. It helps the boys endure the fast pace set by the best opposing teams. Cross country helps the Tigers make those famous fourth-quarter comebacks or in track that last-second sprint. No regular meets were scheduled this season but every evening the cross-country team was put through its paces. This sport gives those boys who are not capable of earning a letter in other sports a chance to earn a letter in cross country. Outstanding runners were Twigg, Potts, and Curtis. The rest of the squad turned out many fine performances. Captain Willard Potts In the annual letter race, five varsity letters were presented to Willard Potts. George Twigg, Glen Curtis, Eli Humerickhouse. and Robert Irish, while Jim McCrocklin, Don Walters, and Carl Sexton earned letters in the freshman race.

He and his wife have often been seen cutting a rug at the school dances. Photography is one of his side lines. THERE'LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE STUDENT COUNCIL This year the Student Council of Paris High School was organized under a new constitution. Under the new plan, all members except the freshmen delegates are elected by the home rooms at the end of the previous year. This does away with the initial delay at the beginning of the new school year and the Council is ready to function. Another feature of the new constitution which is different is that the officers are chosen by the old Council from among its own members. With this carry-over of personnel, the Council retains continuity. The twenty-five members of the Student Council are divided into three committees, School Affairs, Printing, and Finance. Each member of the Coun- cil serves on one committee. The voting and order of business of the Council are provided for in a plan similar to the one used by the United States Congress. Thus, valuable training is given members in government and citizenship. This year the Council's main emphasis was on perfecting the new organization and introducing it to the school. However, it also sponsored the victory food campaign for the peoples of Europe. Several dances were sponsored for entertainment and for raising money to send delegates to the state convention in the spring. The officers this year were Paul Spierling, president; Dorothy Kienast, vice president; Rosemary Campbell, secretary; and Albert Gleason, treasurer. The sponsors were Miss Haas and Mr. Hoke.

Miss Hohler, teacher of business English, advanced shorthand, commercial arithmetic, typing, and editorial adviser for Tiger Tales, says that when the door of Room 9 swings closed on May 31, her wildest” desire is to see new territory and different faces. On the must list for approaching summers she has California, Alaska, and Mexico. IT'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN TIGER TALES Tiger Tales was so named three years ago, by Coach Deac Sweeley, at the time of its inception. Since September, 1943, this little publication has attempted to inform the contemporaries and to record for posterity happenings, big and small—these in the form of editorials, feature articles, organization reports, previews of coming events, and the added flavor of humor, through cartoons and jokes. Many servicemen who formerly helped to make P.H.S. history are now grateful for the current copies sent to them each month. (Miss Addie Hochstrasser has voluntarily undertaken the mailing of these copies.) The staff is organized at the beginning of each school year under the direction of Miss Ruth Ann Hohler and Miss Margaret Haas, faculty advisers. The persons responsible for the 1945-1946 editions of Tiger Tales were: Editor-in-chief ............................Sue Hinds Associate Editor ...............................Kathryn Hunter Art Editor ........................................Bill O'Bannon Publicity Manager ........................Paul Haase Circulation Manager .....................Dorothy Elam Treasurer ................................Bill Dawson Reporters.......Leonord Twigg, Rosemary Campbell, Dorothy Kienast, Gretchen Sue Carrell, Betty Clux-ton, Pat Tobias, Maxine Duclcworth, Paul Haase, Jacqueline Dickson, and Donald Lofflond.

The play centers around the household of the widow Gyurkovics, her seven daughters ranging from 21 to 12 years of age, and their faithful but stupid servant, Janko. The trouble the widow has in marrying off her three oldest daughters makes a complicated but hilarious plot. The play takes place in Budapest and the costumes add a cheerful note. Mitzi, the oldest daughter and first in line to be married, is reduced to the age of 15 for being expelled from the convent. When Horkey finds her in the short skirt playing with dolls he wagers her three kisses that he will marry off the three oldest sisters, thus freeing her from the nursery. The play centers around his attempts at playing cupid so he can win the bet. The Cost of Seven Sisters [26] Left to Right: McDaniels, Blair, Butler, Wilson. The members of the Class of '49 have much fo gain in the three coming years, but it can be said they are off to a good start. With the undaunted school spirit and esteemed loyalty they possess, the class has a bright outlook. Under the sponsorship of Miss Miriam Church, the freshmen have taken part in many school activities. They are well represented in the band, glee club, chorus, G.A.A., F.F.A., Home Economics Club, and Speech Club. Some have joined the newspaper club. Many of the athletes have shown their strength on both the gridiron and hardwood, fighting to the end for old P. H. S. Several of the class members' names are being added to the honor roll. They have met the trials and tribulations of freshmen cheerfully and are proud to be known as the forty-niners. All are looking forward to becoming sophomores, but not one believes that he can forget his first year of high school. With the common desire to complete the four years to get a better education, they are patiently awaiting that day when they will receive the coveted diploma.

She is also the sponsor of the editorial staff of the Arena; all staff members are deeply indebted to Miss Lindsey for her tireless effort, which has produced each year a First Class Honor yearbook. ARENA ort editors, Spierling ond Froiier. IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER THE ARENA EDITORIAL STAFF Delving among old Arenas—choosing a theme —planning the layout for each page—getting organization pictures taken—chasing around the school hunting certain people—trying frantically to make a deadline—breaking fingernails on typewriters—that is the editorial staff of the Arena. It is this staff which is responsible for the senior personals, the captions under pictures, articles on the different classes, clubs, and activities. Those people who seemed glued to a camera, always looking for new students in new poses, also belong on the staff—for they are Arena photographers. The two girls who asked one senior right after another What’s your hobby? Who’s your favorite band leader? weren't taking a Gallup poll—they were getting information for the Arena. The persons who asked what was done in this or that club, or which games were won or lost in a certain month belonged to the same staff. They had to find out P V J things and write them, merely to tear them up and rewrite them. Finally the articles were ready for the typists. The whole group mentioned above worked under the supervision of Miss Lindsey and the coeditorship of Julia Truman and Patricia Reynolds. Working together they produced the 1946 edition of the Arena, depicting school life at P. H. S. through the seasons in the first peace-time year since 1941. The staff was composed of the following: Co-Editors—Patricia Reynolds, Julia Truman. Art Editors—John Frazier, Paul Spierling. Associate Editors—Jean Kizer, Freshman: Dean Bishop, Sophomore: Jerry Murphy, Junior. Girls' Sports—Julio Ann Money. Boys' Sports— Robert Henn, Max Wilhoit. Personals Editors—Rosemary Campbell.

Second Row: Wilhoit, Henn, Ariens, Rhoden, Campbell, Frey, Doak. MAUDE E. DORSETT, A. B. Master of the art of punctuation, Miss Dorsett teaches freshman English. Her hobby is collecting antiques and her home is filled with them. She is the efficient sponsor of the financial staff of the Arena. By the way, what is your recipe for coffee, Miss Dorsett? PUT THE PICKLE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE MUSTARD ON TOP THE ARENA FINANCIAL STAFF Do you remember those seniors with their little orange, black, or white cards trying to sell everyone an Arena last fall? Remember those people aggressively calling Ice cream bars!! at the shivering football fans—the girls who fixed hot-dogs and coffee for those same fans—those students trying to sell Christmas cards—the girls who paraded up and down the aisles at basketball games selling candy and ice-cream? These people weren't out for their daily exercises—they were making money for the Arena. Those girls who tried to induce everyone to buy a Tiger pin or a pencil or a candy bar weren’t taking courses in salesmanship—that's right, they were making money for the Arena. Those many Arena dances were for the same purpose—money for the yearbook. All in all these things added up to more and more money and the 1946 Arena. After the money was made it had to be counted and checked, recounted and rechecked and recorded. If a penny was missing, the cry was Find that penny! All of this took careful management, well-kept books, and willing workers. These were found on the financial staff, under the direction of Miss Maude Dorsett. The financial staff was composed of: Co-Chairmen—Florence Moss. Joe Irish. Financial Staff —Winifred Chenoweth, Carolyn Cramer. Merlyn Eldredge. Glada Hortwich. John Lamb, Shirley Slay, Patricia Wright, Sue Hinds. Cramer, Moss, Lamb, Chenoweth, Irish, Hortwich, Slay. GEORGANA GREEN, Ph. B. Miss Green teaches sophomore English and world history. Her interests are many—growing flowers of all kinds, puttering on the farm, good books, music, and plays. Favorite topic—her nieces. Endures winter weather and lives for spring. Dislikes students loitering in the upper halls. MRS. BRYAN. B. A. Carefully selecting, circulating, and shelving reference and fictionol material, Mrs. Bryan proves herself an efficient librarian at P.H.S. Frequently, Mrs. Bryan forgets her books and takes a turn about the block with a neighbor's perambulator or sometimes a canine friend. A newly-developed interest seems to be along cullnory lines. ENGLISH AND LIBRARY Con you read this? Of course you can—it's English. English is the national language and students from the first grade on study all the complications of its use and construction. High school English not only includes grammar and composition, but English and American literature. Freshmen at Paris High School struggle over the eight parts of speech and the short story, and enjoy dramatizing original sluts over the microphone. Sophomores delve into the character of Silas Marner and the dual personality of Dr. Jekyll. English literature is studied by the juniors beginning with Beowulf. including the works of the versatile Mr. Shakespeare, and continuing up through the literature produced by H. G. Wells and other modern English writers. Seniors are not required to take English, but for students planning to enter college, two half-year courses are offered. American literature is studied the first semester, while the intricacies of grammar ond rhetoric are learned the second. This rounds out a very well balanced four-year program of English. The students are indebted to five teachers for this instruction in grammar and literature: the freshmen to Miss Dorsett and Miss Cross: the sophomores to Miss Hochstrasser, Miss Cross, and Miss Green: and the juniors and seniors to Miss Dayton and Miss Hochstrasser. Together these teachers strive to give their pupils the power of self-expression in their own language and an appreciation for good literature. Magazines, newspapers, current fiction, encyclopedias, and reference books fill the shelves of the Paris High School library. Neither the most elusive element in chemistry nor an obscure writer stump Mrs. Bryan. She is always ready and willing to help students with their reference work. MAUDE A. HOCHSTRASSER, A. B., A. M. Sophomore and junior English and American litera ture give Miss Hochstrasser a full schedule. Her favorite topics ore her brother and the sophomores. Her favorite poet is Robert Frost. She deserves much credit for sending Tiger Tales to servicemen—a task which requires a great deal of time and effort. LARUE DAYTON. A. B.

Efficient with the slide rule and machines, Mr. Ariens teaches physics, aeronautics, freshman algebra, and is sponsor of the junior class. Quiet but wise, he shares his knowledge with his students. He soys nothing disturbs him, but if that’s so where is his hair? MIRIAM L. CHURCH. B. S.. M. S. General science teacher and confidential friend of the freshmen. Miss Church is a general favorite. Her collection of miniature china dogs has almost crowded the freshmen out of her room. This yeor her outside interests center in Chicago. She's living for June. HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN? SCIENCE This is the atomic age! With the invention of the atomic bomb last summer, science has begun a new era in the history of man. During the war, much progress was made in the field of electronics, radar, and jet propulsion. In the world of tomorrow experts in all phases of science will be desperately needed, and all high schools have put more emphasis on their science programs. Paris High School offers five courses in science— general science, biology, chemistry, senior science, and physics. Freshmen are required to take general science which is a study of simple machines, weather, air pressure, and the human body. Field trips enliven the course, and much first-hand knowledge is learned about making ice and putting out fires. After this first taste of science, students who have a flare for it may take biology. In this course, students learn about plant and animal life, and their relationships to each other. A third subject, usually taken in the junior year, is chemistry, which deals with the basic ninety-two elements, different minerals, and a smattering of inorganic chemistry. For those students who do not take chemistry but are required to have another science unit for graduation. senior science is taught. This is a more detailed study of the facts learned in genera! science. Physics is taught as a fourth year subject, and in this course, the elements of mechanics, heat, light, and electricity are imbibed by the students. The instructors who teach these excellent courses in modern science are: Mr. Ariens, physics: Miss Church, general science; Miss Luckhaupt, biology: and Mr. Little, chemistry and senior science. Science holds an important place in this year, 1946, and it is hoped that the students of today will become the scientists of tomorrow. FANNIE LUCKHAUPT, A. B. Miss Luckhaupt's biology room is one of interest to curious students. It is filled with Specimens of various sorts ranging from snakes to butterflies. Miss Luckhaupt's main interest is young people. Cats who bother her bird or gold fish ore her peeve. C. J. LITTLE, B. Ed. Known as the man with the crutch, Mr. Little teaches chemistry and senior science. In addition to his teaching. Mr. Little is the manager of the athletic association and deserves much praise for the splendid job he does. Pet peeve—not checking out to the penny. I STELLA RISSER Teacher of personal use typing, bookkeeping, and secretarial practice. Miss Risser also has charge of the famous seventh hour study hall. She sometimes scares freshman, but basketball players and her students find her very congenial. Pet peeve — the Tigers losing a basketball game. ANNABEL SCOTT. B. Ed. P.H.S. welcomes Miss Scott to the faculty. She returns to teaching from the business world os teacher of business training. commercio: arithmetic and commercial geography. Miss Scott particularly dotes on four-inch. heels and divides her weekends between Chicago. Charleston. Champaign, and Mattoon. MARGARET HAAS. B. S. The activities of Miss Haas range from teacher of junior shorthand and typing to co-ordinator for the distributive education class. In her spare moments she is production adviser for Tiger Tales. Miss Haas spent her summer getting practical experience in retail selling. A DOOR WILL OPEN'' COMMERCE In this modern whirl-wind existence of income taxes and government bureaus, almost everybody needs a private secretary. Since the demand for more secretaries, bookkeepers, trained office workers, and salesmen is increasing, commercial courses are being emphasized. The first commercial course offered to Paris High School students is business training, which is the background course. Another basic course offered for the future office correspondent is business English. Econpmic geography offers the commercial student a background of world understanding. A two-year course in typing and shorthand is studied by the student who wishes to do secretarial work. A new course installed this year is secre- tarial-office practice which combines study and practice for typewriting, filing, dictation, transcription, and related topics. Debits, credits, assets, and liabilities are studied in the bookkeeping course. The distributive education course offers vocational training to students interested in retail and wholesale merchandising, as well as the activities of service organizations. This excellent commercial course is taught by the following teachers: Miss Scott, business training and economic geography: Miss Haas, first year shorthand and typing and distributive education: Miss Hohler, second year shorthand and typing, second year typing only, business English, and business training; Miss Risser, typing only first year, secretarial-office practice, and bookkeeping.

Sponsor of the sophomore class ond teacher of Latin, Miss Tate is a familiar person at Paris High School. Her ninth hours have long been known to struggling Latin students. She spent last summer in New York as a worker in a summer resort camp for under-privileged women and children. CATHERINE FARRELL, A. B., M. A. I Habla ella espanol? She certainly does, she teaches it—and French! In addition to this she teaches economics and government. As Dean of Girls she's heard all the answers to tho question, Why have you been out? Her pet aversion—zero weather. Her favorite movie theme—the eternal triangle. SAY SI SI LANGUAGE World understanding is the foundation for a lasting peace. How can the people of different nations work together if they can not speak the same tongue? The first step for us is to make friends with our next door neighbors—Canada, which is partly French speaking, and Spanishspeaking Mexico. The basis for these languages is Latin. Many graduates of Paris High School, especially servicemen who fought in Italy, have come back to express their gratitude to Miss Tate for being such a patient teacher and seeing them through two, three, or four years of Latin. Spanish is a language of the present and future. Miss Farrell has succeeded in making her two year course of Spanish not only enjoyable but practical for those who plan to make a journey over the Pan American Highway. Miss Farrell is also successful with her class of French. Her pupils are able to speak it with a fair amount of accuracy before the end of the first semester. Scene from Miss Farrell's bulletin board. Miss Tote helps struggling Latin students. Latin I proves interesting to students. French poster. Scene from Miss Tate's famous ninth hour. JANE WILSON. B. Ed. Miss Wilson leads all students in the study of the intricacies of our federal government. She also teaches the social problems confronting our nation and world history. During leisure time she collects records, reads, and is a patron of the cinema, favoring Gable and Van Johnson. CHARLES JOHNSON. B. Ed. All seniors will remember Mr. Johnson's American history classes for their lectures and jokes. Perhaps his joviality is due to the healthful life he leads as a farmer. He is an excellent senior class sponsor. His special love—T-Bone steaks and food in general; revels in his bushel of gay ties. TILL THE END OF TIME f I SOCIAL STUDIES The year 1945 will be written in the minds of the students of today, and the history books of tomorrow, as that year when the horror and destruction of World War II were ended and the cry of peace was echoed around the world. Americans have realized that the defeat of Hitler has not put an end to starvation and discontent. They are confronted with the tremendous task of setting a broken world to rights. This task will fall heaviest on the shoulders of today's high school students who are learning about the past in order to better understand the present and future. P.H.S. students begin preparation for their responsibility when they are sophomores either by taking a year of world history, or if they are more interested in the beginning of civilization, one on ancient history. This must be followed by a year of modern history beginning with the Revolution in France. World history covers the same span of time in less detail. American history is required for graduation. Also required is a half year of government. Those who wish to pursue the study of social problems and the use of the wealth, may take semester courses in sociology and economics. Miss Lindsey ably handles ancient and modern history, and with the help of Miss Green, world history. Miss Farrell and Miss Wilson teach government, economics and sociology. Mr. Johnson guides the seniors through American history. American history class gets down to business under the watchful eye of hdr. Johnson.

YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING REGULAR SCHEDULED GAMES Basketball started for Paris on Thanksgiving afternoon by a win over Charleston T. C. They went ahead to defeat Tuscola, and Horace Mann of Gary, Indiana, by a score of 36-23, after coming from behind on Frazier's long shots and Vietor's excellent dribbling. The Tigers swamped Villa Grove before losing their first game to Washington High of East Chicago, Indiana, a strong state contender, by 37 to 32 count. They came right back to defeat Salem, Urbana, and Canton, preceding the Holiday Tournament, which the Tigers won. Casey, Vandalia, Marshall, and Greenup fell to the Tigers' winning streak. In the next game with Kansas, a major upset was encountered as the Bulldogs gave Paris their first Illinois defeat by a 37-31 score. The Tigers defeated Charleston City, Edwardsville, Effingham, and Moline. After winning the E. I. Tournament, the Tigers traveled to Champaign for the state's outstanding game of the week. The Tigers were outscored 46-26. West Aurora suffered a loss at the expense of Paris. In an extra-scheduled game with Oakwood, Dow Morris made his first appearance of the season. He was a great asset to the team. Oakwood and Georgetown suffered losses before the Danville game. This was one of the Tigers' best-played games of the season as the score was 43 to 26 in favor of Paris.

PARIS HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT Paris entered its fourth annual Holiday Tournament, which was held December 26-28, against Heyworth in which the Tigers came out victorious. In the next game, Paris defeated Martinsville by a score of 57-26, after which they advanced to the semi-finals. The Tigers won easily over Charleston City by 41 to 24 count, after a close game with Cathedral of Springfield. Normal lost to Cathedral for third place honors. Among the high point men of the tournament were the Tigers' Leon Miller and Don Glover. E. I. TOURNAMENT The E. I. League Tournament was held January 29-February 2 at Casey. This year's tournament was one of the best tourneys in E. I. League's history. For the Tigers, the tournament was much like the Holiday Tournament. There was easy going in the opening and championship games, while the quarter-final and semi-final games were stiffer competition. In the opening round, Hutsonville fell to the Tigers by 70 to 13 score. As Paris won over Oblong 32 to 22, they came into the featured game of the tournament with Kansas. This was a hard fought battle with the Tigers eking out a 29-27 victory. The Tigers hod little trouble in mastering Charleston, 43 to 24, to win their eighth consecutive E. I. Tourney. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT The Regional Tournament was held at Casey, February 26-March I. The Tigers opened the tourney by winning over Martinsville. In the semifinals Paris defeated Charleston City for the fourth time this season. Casey dealt Kansas its second defeat of the year. This was the major upset of the tournament. In the final game, Casey lost to Paris, 53 to 21, thus making the Tigers eligible to play in the Sectional Tournament. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Robinson was the scene of the Sectional Tournament, March 7 and 8. In the first round of play Mt. Carmel lost to Robinson and Paris pulled the game with Flora out of the fire as Wilson made a bucket with less than a half second of playing time left. Flora was eliminated by a 39 to 37 count. The next evening the Tigers were unable to overcome the lead the Maroons piled up in the second quarter. But the Tigers kept up the old fight to make it a close game as Robinson with 32 to the Tigers' 28 become one of the Sweet Sixteen. CAPTAIN JOHN FRAZIER—Senior Forward John's long two-handed shots hove raked many games out of the fire as Gary well knows. He was a good rebounaer and defensive player. ROBERT IRISH—Sophomore Guard Bob has shown what it takes to make a good basketball player. With more experience and further development, he should make good. SHIRLEY ELDREDGE—Senior Guard Shirley dribbled right through the enemy. Weaving in and out gave him no trouble. His uncanny shots kept the Tigers in many games. VERLON CUMMINS—Sophomore Forward Jonie was a scrappy south-paw, whose left-handed hook shot really floats right in and was very hard to guard. ROBERT ALEXANDER—Sophomore Forward Alex's fancy ball-handling and outstanding ability to grab rebounds made him a good reserve. He used his height to good advantage. DON GLOVER—Junior Forward Don was little but mighty. His eye for the basket and faking provided plenty of trouble for opposing cagers. DICK HENSON—Sophomore Guard Dick has a dead eye on his side shots. His dribbling ability and driving power will make him a hard man to stop. BILL GIVENS—Junior Center Giggles was a scrappy player—always in the thick of things. With his height, fighting spirit, and endurance he should go places. LEON MILLER—Senior Forward Ish hits 'em from every angle. His rebounding and defense made him a tough man. He was a threat to all opponents of P.H.S. FRED BLAIR—Freshman Center Fred has what it takes to be a top-notch player. He tossed in the buckets, rebounded and used his height to a good advantage. GLEN VIETOR—Junior Forward Glen's excellent dribbling ability and his good-shooting eye were his main assets. He was in there fighting when sent into a game. RONALD CUMMINS—Sophomore Guard Ronnie was a tough man all over the floor. His specialty was a two-handed shot outside the free-throw circle. Look out for Ronnie! MAX WILSON—Freshman Guard Bony was a fast and hard-driving dribbler. He showed excellent ability for a freshman. He is following in his brother's footsteps. DEAN BISHOP—Sophomore Guard Dean was a fast-player and did a good job of faking his man out of position for those easy shots. He was a hard man to guard. DALE WATSON—Senior Forward Dirty Dale was an offensive threat to all opposing teams with his one-hand shots. He used his height and footwork to an advantage. CHARLES DEEM—Junior Guard Chuck was a dependable reserve. With his fighting spirit, team-work, and hard driving, he will be a good all-round player. JOHN WILSON—Junior Guard Bus's side shots and tip-ins kept up our winning streak. He is a good ball-handler and an all-round player. We will see more of him. ELI HUMERICKHOUSE—Sophomore Center Eli has displayed quite a bit of ability and had an accurate aim. He was a good ball-handler—just try to take that ball away from him. ROBERT OWENS—Junior Center Bob's faking, fancy ball-handling, and height mode him a hard man to stop. His good shot and rebounding should be great next year. J. B. POWELL—Sophomore Forward J. B.'s fancy rebounding, ball handling, and height kept up the reserves’ winning streak. He developed rapidly this year. BASKETBALL SCORES We They Charleston T.

Rae Colson, presented the school with a trophy in 1926. The boy, who was voted by the student body as being the most outstanding in good sportsmanship, was to have his name engraved on the trophy. In 1943 it was decided to give the award to a boy in basketball and football. This year Mr. Colson decided to present a plaque to the high school. A representative was to be selected from each of the three major sports, football, basketball, and track. The names of the boys chosen were to be engraved on the plaque. Candidates for the awards are nominated by the lettermen from each sport, basketball, football, and track. The basketball boys nominated Shirley Eldredge and John Frazier; football, Shirley Eldredge and Jim Brewster; and track, Willard Potts and Shirley Eldredge. The student-body elected Shirley Eldredge for football and track, and John Frazier for basketball. A gold medal is awarded each year to the athlete with the highest scholastic average for the four years. A silver medal is given for second place. The 1945 winners were John Cychol and David Bristow respectively. Froxier and Eldredge. Seated: Hall. Standing: Fowler, Powell, Zone. I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU'' SOPHOMORES Sophomores at last—that’s just one step below an upper classman. After the first few months of getting acquainted the members of the Class of ’48 were firmly settled in P.H.S. and were found in all school organizations. This year, the class came back all ready for business and, thinking Jake Zone looked pretty businesslike, promptly elected him as president. The vice-presidency was given to J. B. Powell. George Fowler and Barbara Hall were secretary and treasurer respectively. In the course of the year it was decided that one of the best things to be was a sophomore. First Row: C. Dawson. P.

PERSONALITY JUNIORS In September the Class of '47 came back to school upper classmen at last. All were anxious to complete a third year at P.H.S. This year saw the development of some of our classmates into scholars. Talent was contributed to all school activities. One of the big thrills of the year was in choosing the class rings and pins. The Comet design was the unanimous choice. Much hard work had to be done to finance the traditional prom. This year the banquet, which was discontinued during the war years, was given again. The juniors sponsored several dances, one formal, and the annual class play. The play, Seven Sisters, was given with a record attendance. With the completion of another memorable year of high school life, the juniors are looking forward to becoming sophisticated Seniors of '47.

In its seventh year the Speech Club welcomed all students interested in working on stage, back stage, or just watching the programs presented. The officers this year were president, Richard McKinzie; vice president, Patricia Reynolds; secretary, Phyllis Ariens; co-treasurers, Jim Sprouls and Ralph Pear-man, and social chairman, Rosemary Campbell. These officers, with the generous help of Miss Cross, worked together to keep up the traditions of the Speech Club. An inter-class contest was held to get the club off to a good start. Each class presented a one-act play and several variety numbers. Rivalry was keen. The judges announced a tie between the seniors and sophomores. The senior play was serious, A Light from St. Agnes. while the sophomores chose a comedy, The First Dress Suit. Individuals were named for outstanding contributions in the contest. The annual masked ball, was held in October SPEECH CLUB and all the members turned out in weird costumes. The Christmas party was in the form of a potluck supper. Twenty members of Speech Club took part in the contest at Charleston in February. All contests and work in plays give credit to those who are trying to become members of the Masque and Gavel, a national honorary speech organization. Charter members of Paris High School chapter were elected last year and installed at Charleston. The climax of the year came in production of Pygmalion. The cast included Jim Sprouls as Higgins, Judy Money as Lisa, Tom Bergan as Pickering, Richard McKinzie as Doolittle, Patricia Reynolds as Mrs. Higgins, Phyllis Ariens, Dean Scanlon, Dorothy Kienast, and Tom Rule. The cockney spoken in the play afforded a very difficult task. The set, costuming, lighting, and other backstage work, and the direction of Miss Cross made the fine performance of the actors possible.

Expert in wood work, Mr. Reed teaches industrial arts. He comes to us from St. Louis where he worked in the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation. While there he helped design the Phantom. a jet-propelled plane. For relaxation he likes nothing better than to hunt or to play golf. He's an avid Cub fan. RICHARD L. READY. B. S.. M. A. Mr. Ready is the instructor for drafting and the building trades courses. When spring rolls around he takes special delight in getting out the fishing tackle and casting a line or in having a game of golf. His conversation ranges from his new grandson to the value of cultural-versus-practicol subjects. DON'T FENCE ME IN 11 INDUSTRIAL ARTS With the present-day housing shortage, carpenters and builders are much in demand. Paris High School is doing its share in turning out experts in wood working, sheet metal, and drafting. These boys are trained in general shop, mechanical drawing, drafting, and building trades classes. In the general shop class, taught by Mr. Reed, the boys study woodworking and become proficient in the use of tools and power-driven machines. The fundamentals of electricity and elementary sheet metal work are also taken up in general shop. Mechanical drawing, also instructed by Mr. Reed, is a course in the fundamentals of drafting. Archi- tectural drafting, structural drafting, and sheet metal drawing are studied by the students. The drafting and building trades courses, taught by Mr. Ready, are new features at P.H.S. this year. Both are four-period subjects. The work in the drafting course is comparable to general engineering drawing on the college level, with special emphasis given to the development of techniques and drafting-room practices. In the building trades class, scale models of houses, as well as a part of a full-sized house, are built. With such excellent training as this, Paris will not lack expert carpenters and draftsmen.

If you wont to know the latest recipe, or how to moke button holes, just ask Miss Perisho, teacher of home living. Miss Perisho has given liberally of her time ofter school hours to a home economic club, the senior girls' cooking club, and the adult supper club. A home economics convention in Chicago isn’t complete without the latest ploy. AGNES HENDRICKS, B. S., M. A. As the teacher of home living. Miss Hendricks helps mold the future homemakers. Outside of the domain of the model kitchen or the sewing room we might find her listening to Information Please or the Telephone Hour' ; reading Vogue or Harper's, designing a new costume or planning o trip to Chicago to take in the latest plays or on opera. YOU'D BE SO NICE HOME A nation can be no better than its homes and the future homes will be no better than this generation makes them. America's training of young women to be good homemakers is important in winning the peace as training young men to be good soldiers was in winning the war. Only well-managed homes will produce the type of cnildren needed to build the peace. Home economics is one of the most practical subjects a girl can take. No matter what field she chooses, she is almost certain to need the knowledge gained in this department. The first year students learn the elements of sewing and cooking. They study bolanced diets, calories, and prepare food. The girls in one sewing class decided to make fifteen pairs of children's TO COME HOME TO LIVING pajamas apiece to send to Europe. Others made some very attractive clothes for themselves or friends. Second year students practice home nursing. They use Red Cross home-nursing books for their texts. During the course a trained nurse gives demonstrations of bedmaking and child care. The third year homemaking is a continuation of the first and second years. It consists of units in art, grooming, construction of tailored garments, and special food and family problems. Miss Hendricks and Miss Perisho make possible this worthwhile course. They instructed a class of adults interested in this field. Miss Perisho and Miss Hendricks have done a great deal toward molding the homemakers of tomorrow.

Advancement through the four degrees of active membership— green hand, chapter farmer, state farmer, and Amercian farmer, is based on progressive establishment in farming and achievement in vocational agriculture. In this school, the organization is sponsored by Mr. Hamilton with the following officers: president, Tom Englum; vice-president, John Lamb: secretary, Robert Elledge: treasurer, Dale Watson: reporter, Ernest Hamilton; and sergeant-at-arms, Glen Vietor. The boys plan to continue the work in the summer and projects ore a required part of the work. Each member must appear at least once on a program and once on a committee. The members often take part in the stock shows during the county fair and many have won prizes with their projects. Basketball teams have been organized and they often play chapter teams from other schools. The F.F.A. is an important organization, for its aims and purpose, creed and motto all emphasize a faith in farming as an occupation, as a way of life, and as a means of earning an adequate income. OON H. HAMILTON, B. S. Teacher of agriculture, Mr. Hamilton is an expert with the plow.

With such outstanding members as Twigg, Bouslog, Cychol, Hall, and the relay teams, they really went places. Two weeks after the basketball season had ended, track started. The season opened with Wiley at Paris. The Tigers swamped them 80 to 37. They went ahead to defeat Ridgefarm 95 to 13, and Brazil, Indiana, 81 2 to 27 2, before the Tiger Relays in April. At this meet, Paris came far out in the lead. The relay teams and placings were: Mile Relay, 1st—Eldredge, Tait, Brewster, and Cychol; 2-Mile Relay, 2nd—L. Curl, Miller, Potts, and Bouslog: Sprint Medley, 1st—Kennedy, Blair, Miller, and Cychol; Distance Medley, 1st—Brewster, Bouslog, Tait, and Murphy; Freshman 880 Relay, 2nd—Fowler, Bishop, Humerickhouse, and Curtis: and Varsity 880 Relay 3rd—Hall, Murphy, Blair, and Kennedy. The final count was Paris, 93; Belleville, 63; Centralia, 33; and Carmi, 28. The Tigers journeyed to Lawrenceville to sweep the Indian Relays, taking 5 out of 7 relay trophies. The outstanding teams were: Mile Relay, 2nd— Brewster, Eldredge, Tait, and Cychol; 2-Mile Relay, 1st—Tait, R. Curl, L. Curl, and Bouslog; Sprint Medley, 1st—Hall, Murphy, Blair, and Twigg; Distance Medley, 1st—Potts, Kennedy, Wishart, and Bouslog; Freshman 880 Relay, 1st—Twigg, Humerickhouse, Fowler, and Bishop; the Varsity 880 Relay, 1st—Murphy, Hall, Blair, and Kennedy; and Shuttle Relay, 4th — Carli, Owens, Miller, ond Wishart. Total score: Paris, 671 2; Wiley, 36' 2; Reits, 21; and Lawrenceville, 19. On April 24, the Tigers romped over the Charleston City Trojans, 84 to 28. The next day the Tigers went to the Mattoon Relays. Here they did not do as well, as only part of the squad went. The rest stayed home for the E. I. League Meet. Scores for the Mattoon Relay were: Champaign, bV i', Mattoon, 531 2: Decatur, 52; and Paris, 28. At the E. I. League meet, Paris was ahead in the end; Paris, 46; Martinsville, 25; Charleston City, l9, 2: Robinson, 19. CHASING RAINBOWS” In May, the Tigers started out by winning the Wabash Valley meet. Score: Paris, 60: Wiley, 39: Brazil, 22l 2: and Robinson, 22. The next competition was the Tigers' old rival, Robinson, who was found to be no match. Tne meet ended 75 to 38. At the District meet Paris won again. The score was Paris, 36: Mattoon, 23; and Charleston City, 20. Those qualifying for the state meet were George Twigg, Allen Bouslog, John Hall, John Cychol, Bob Tait, and Jack Kennedy. George Twigg, a freshman, won third in the half-mile, while Allen Bouslog won third in the mile. The other boys did not place in the preliminaries. Two all-school records were broken this year. George Twigg ran the half-mile in 2.01.4 seconds to break Max Norman's record set in 1942. The other record was made by John Cychol, who ran the 120 yard High Hurdles in 15.9 seconds. This record had been held by Dave Humerickhouse. These records show that Paris had one of the best track teams in the history of the school and one of the best teams in the state. Coach E. W. Eveland scheduled several freshman-sophomore meets. These meets offered some of the freshmen and sophomores an opportunity to earn letters. It also gave them more experience which will be valuable in varsity meets in future years. The freshman-sophomore team also had a good season. Their first meet was with Charleston City, Paris winning by a jcore of 83 to 29. On May I, they hod a meet with Mattoon. Mattoon was run over by a score of 72 to 32. They next met Danville on May 9. Paris came out on top with 78 to 36 for Danville. C. J. Little and Coach Eveland organized the Little Tiger Relays, composed of freshmen and sophomores. This meet was held May 15. Again the Tigers won, defeating Charleston City and Danville for first place honors. Some outstanding boys on the freshman-sophomore teams were Owens, Twigg, Curtis, Deem, and Alexander. The Freshman Relay Team was composed of Twigg, Fowler, Bishop, and Humerickhouse. If these boys come through again as they have in the meets of this season, next spring should see another good track year. Cychol takes the hurdles in his stride. Knoeling: Frozier, Willoughby, P.

LOUIS WATERLOO Director of the high school bond, city bond, and orchestra, Mr. Waterloo is o jock of oil trades, for he also gives private lessons, ond owns a music store. As the master of ceremonies at pep meetings he s tops. SYMPHONY'' ORCHESTRA A baton is raised; violin bows are poised; flutes are in position; the orchestra is ready to provide sweet music. This orchestra constitutes an important part of the music department of Paris High School. It is composed of about twenty members who ore either expert musicians or in the process of becoming one. This organization affords a very fine opportunity to the students. Each one is assigned a practice period every day during which he receives personal instruction from Mr. Waterloo. The members meet two periods a week as a group for ensemble training and practice under the efficient direction of Mr. Waterloo. The orchestra plays selections for the school plays during the year and at various meetings for civic groups. For the annual spring band concert, the orchestra appeared on the program presenting several numbers. The repertoire of the orchestra includes everything from popular numbers and folk songs to light symphonies by the old masters. The students find this part of their high school program interesting and enjoyable as well as profitable. First Row: Jones. Cramer, Emery, Kienast, Sanders, O’Bannon, Bright.

STRIKE UP THE BAND BAND The Paris High School band under the capable leadership of Mr. Waterloo, has become an important part of the school. At numerous pep meetings and snake dances members of the band gave out with school songs and other peppy numbers, which put the team and students into a winning mood. The striking orange and block uniforms appear at the basketball and football gomes. The music produced by the people in these uniforms odds a festive air to the games. Music is also furnished by the band at various civic programs. The annual spring concert is an outstanding event for the band. Each year at this concert the band is presented in a program of marches, classical selections, and special numbers by the soloists. About a month in advance band members begin selling tickets to the townspeople. The high school auditorium is always filled, and all who hear the music are thrilled by the stirring numbers. Last year there was no band contest, but several members entered the competition at Charleston with individual solos and ensembles. Of these, Richard Harpring playing a tuba solo, Naomi Sidenbender a French horn solo, and Bob Cox and Nancy Rhoads a drum duet, placed in the first division. This year with the resumption of band contests, the Paris band intends to take its place as one of the best bands in the state. First Row: Holler, Hill, Owens. Second Row: Rhoads, Cameron, Hardy.

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Miss Wilkin has become o part of the Paris school system as music supervisor. During the war she taught radio to the Air Force at Sioux Falls. South Dakota. Her special interests other than music, are reading, good plays, and photography. MY HEART SINGS” THE VOCAL DEPARTMENT This year's vocal department received a new program in two respects. First, a new teacher, Miss Elizabeth Wilkin, from Columbus, Ohio, took over the job of teaching and directing the vocal groups. The other change was the manner in which the department was divided. This year it had three divisions: the Mixed Chorus, the Girls' Glee Club, and the Treble Clef Club. The Treble Clef Club was composed mainly of freshman girls. Early in February the Girls' Glee Club presented a variety program on the radio at Tuscola. Music was supplied by the vocal department for the March meeting of Edgar County Teachers' Institute. Then came the contests with its joys and disappointments. In the Spring of '45 the Girls' Sextette, the Mixed Octet, and six soloists participated in the district contest at Charleston. Of this group Richard McKinzie, Rosemary Bandy, and the Mixed Octet won firsts, which sent them to the regional contest at Mt. Vernon. The Octet and Richard both won first places. There were no further state contests last year. First Row: Allen, Hiatt, Boyd, Carroll, Martin, Sidenbender, Rule, Sudduth. Second Row: Frey, Zieren, Foley, Hall, D. Good, Sturgell, Alexander, J.

S. and Mayo Junior High worked on their dances for the nineteenth annual May Fete. Miss Hamilton, the director, took advantage of the extra space afforded her in the new gymnasium and placed the scenery, which consisted of a huge nest with big brown eggs in it and a backdrop of woods, in the eastern end of the building. Greenery and spring flowers furnished the background for the queen and her court. At last the night of May I I arrived. The building was packed and then—the procession began. There were the senior girls in their beautiful pastel formcls with the chosen queen, Frances Wright, and her maid of honor, Mary Murphy. After the crown had been placed upon her head, the queen settled back on her throne and prepared to enjoy the program planned for her entertainment. The theme of the program was The Ugly Duckling. Clever solo ballets were given by Virginia Frye, representing the ugly duckling, and Nancy Harris as the graceful swan. The rest of the program told of the various scenes the duckling saw during his unhappy childhood, such os an exciting baseball game, an Indian war dance, precision marching, and the dances of wandering gypsies. Instead of the customary Maypole dance, this year's dance was made unusually effective because it was given by the senior girls in their graceful long dresses of rainbow hues. Then the recessional, and the evening was over—truly a May Fete to be remembered. Queen, Frances Wright; Maid The Queen and her court of senior girls. of Honor, Mary Murphy. Precision marching.

Well, let’s ask Fitzy.' She'll tell you. — I wonder who'll go to camp this year? These are familiar board announcements and cries for those who belong to the Girls' Athletic Association. Here is a club where everyone has fun. Fall sports include softball at Mayo under the leadership of Ann Ashley, speedball led by Pat Tobias at high school,- and archery at Mayo with Sis' Brunsman in charge. During cold winter days the girls played indoors. Judy Truman was chairman of that ever popular sport—basketball. Dot Kienast was in charge of recreation, which included shuf-fleboord, deck tennis, and peteka. The volleyball chairman was Catherine Doak. The officers serving this year were: Judy Money, president; Charlotte Shoaff. vice-president; Frances Doak, secretary; Mary Martha Fitzgerald, point manager; and Rosemary Campbell, publicity manager. Under the leadership of the new physical education teacher, Miss Esther Simons, the club has functioned smoothly and accomplished many things. Among the outstanding events of the G.A.A. were the freshman initiation, the inter-class basketball tournament, and the G.A.A. banquet. The climax to a very eventful year was the May Fete, in which all G.A.A. members participated. Many hoped to be among those to attend G.A.A. camp in June, and last year four girls received this honor. They were Catherine Doak, Frances Doak, Charlotte Shoaff, and Mary Martha Fitzgerald.

[81] PAPA IS ALL The climax of the Class of '45's dramatic career was Papa Is All presented on May 29, 1945. This time they triumphed in a three-act comedy by Patterson Greene. Under the direction of Miss Virginia Cross, speech instructor, the production staff and cast worked together in making this production another success. The set was very realistic and showed the results of much skilled labor. Men-nonite costumes added much to the development of each character. So skillful were the actors that tears and laughs were brought from the audience. This ploy is the story of a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer who is so ugly-tempered that he was not above taking the whip to his son and daughter. Emma, the daughter, is in love with a surveyor who wants to marry her. The son, Jake, has a knack for mechanics and wants to simplify farm-life by the installation of machinery. They suspect that Papa's scruples are merely a way of keeping them on the farm as forced slave labor. Emma steals away to see her young man. A neighbor reveals Emma's secret and Papa sweeps off in a rage to shoot him. Papa disappears, making the household much happier. Not until the last act do we know what happened to Papa. Papa returns but happiness remains forever. All of these things summed up spell magnificent in the minds of all who saw it. Papa issues an ultimatum. Papa is under control at last.

For weeks before girls had been hunting formals, while boys tried frantically to find a new white coat. Finally the big night arrived and everyone wos ready for a never-to-be-forgotten evening. The juniors hod worked madly up until the last minute turning the girls' gymnasium into a ballroom. Blue and gold banners hung from the ceiling and were draped over the balcony. All around the edge of the floor was a white picket fence and flowers were entwined in it. The main center of attraction was a huge crystal ball which hung from the center of the room. Colored lights were thrown upon it and reflected into every corner, making the room seem alive with dancing beams. Music was furnished by Fred Cizek and every one thrilled to his arrangements of Dreams ' and Laura. The three short hours passed entirely too fast, and soon the couples had to leave the world of the crystal ball, and emerge into the starry night. The Prom of 1945 was now just a lovely memory.

The junior class play, Junior Miss,' was one of the most amusing and enjoyable plays ever produced on the Paris stage. Also in 1944 dances were sponsored to raise money for the banquet and prom, honoring the graduating class. Then in 1945 the goal was finally attained!! Although this last year was perhaps the saddest, nevertheless everyone was kept busy editing the ARENA and producing the senior class play. We were so preoccupied that it was only in May that the seniors had time to regret leaving. John Frazier was elected captain of the 1945-1946 basketball team and Bill Crabtree was elected captain of the football team. Both teams had quite a bit of success with the basketball team showing a little more power. Then, after baccalaureate and commencement, the seniors sadly gazed down the familiar halls of P.H.S. and after reminiscing about the good old days, left to seek success in the world. In September, 1942, 299 freshmen hesitantly crept into P.H.S. They became acclimated immediately to being high school students, and before long athletic-minded boys were found on the basketball floor, on the track and football fields. Many of the freshman girls joined G.A.A. and enjoyed the various sports offered, while still others of the freshman class bolstered the ranks of the orchestra, the glee club, and F.F.A. Twenty of our brilliant members were on the honor roll the first year. Aiding the sophomores, Sweet Sixteen and The Hard Boiled Egg were presented as the freshman-sophomore class plays. During the sophomore year nineteen sophomores were on the honor roll, and as sophomores Contrast and The Witchin' Racket were given jointly with the freshmen.
