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.

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.

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
