[23] FRANCIS HOKE, B. S. Geometry, algebra, and general math ore taught by Mr. Hoke. He enlivens dull figures with funny remarks and encourages struggling pupils. 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. First Row: Wright, Johnson, Campbell, Kienast, Spierling, Gleason, Zieren, Carroll, Babb, Scanlan. Second Row: Frey, Miss Haas, Lukken, Murphy, Doalt, Clark, Tucker, Harris, Reynolds, Hartsaw, Forster, Cummins, Wadsworth, Mr. Hoke.

 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.

RUTH ANN HOHLER, B.S., M.S. 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.
