 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.
