Vatic four TODAY - - -1949 D E D C A T O N TO THE CITIZENS OF PARIS As a token of its gratitude, the Senior Class of Paris High School dedicates the 1949 ARENA to the citizens of Paris and their Board of Education for making greater educational facilities possible through an increasing interest in the schools and, thereby, forwarding the educational ideals first set forth by this community in 1824. TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATON left to right—Mr. Karl O’Hair. Mr. Charles S. Levings, Jr.. Mr. Raymond Kizer, Mr. Eugene Johnson, Mr. T. Donald Neal, Mr. Phillip O. Foley. Mr. R. R. Thompson, not pictured, is also a member of the board. Faye Five The School 1 EUGENE I,. JOHNSON Superintendent of the Paris Public Schools P.S., Central Missouri State Teachers College M.A., Columbia University University of New York University of Illinois In 1824 the Paris schools consisted of ten students and one instructor. Today we have 1,673 students and seventy-three instructors. In 1824 the Paris school was housed in a one-room log building. Today six modern buildings are provided for the students attending the Paris schools. Many changes have occurred in one hundred twenty-five years. However, il should be rememlxTcd that basic truths do not change, and that ideas, ideals, and initiative are still requisites for success. May the present-day “Forty-niners” blaze new trails. May they build and strengthen our America! t Uh' I'.itjlit CHARLES L. SMITH Principal of the Paris High School A.B., Nebraska Wesleyan University M.A., Columbia University University of Nebraska The early citizens of Paris had a unique faith in the American school. They dreamed of a great structure set in the heart of their community, giving more abundant life to all the children, all the youth, and all the people of their community. Since that first contract in 1824, the schools of Paris have shown great progress, but there is still the ever-changing challenge to make that dream a realization. Working together toward that goal, it will be realized when the program of the school is understood, developed, and sustained by all the community.

They leave Paris High School, but a part of them will linger—their spirit and their memories for these are lifetime impressions and ties. Not too long ago these seniors were wide-eyed freshmen, faced with the many adjustments that are invariably a part of every entering class. However, as the years rolled on, these experiences lessened in importance; others, more mature and more challenging, took their places. This class, noticeably very representative, can claim success in the Student Council, in the state speech and music contests, and in an enviable athletic record—all serving as examples and proof of the nature and wide variety of the abilities and interests of these students. Their four years in high school have been spent all too quickly, but in the passing the “49’ers” have had much work and play and have made many lasting friends and contacts. The guidance and the fund of knowledge which they have acquired are but steps toward that future adult living that is expected from good citizens of the community and of America.

Page Twenty-four The Junior Class The Junior Class has completed the first three years of its high school education. Most of the members are realizing their responsibilities and their privileges as students in a public high school of an American community. Studies, sports, and other school activities have attracted and occupied the class during its three years at Paris High. Its members have aided and enjoyed almost every scholastic and extra-curricular event available. As freshman, they became acquainted with their school, as well as one another. Well established by the sophomore year, the students were credited with outstanding freshman-sophomore football and basketball squads, as well as the fastest runner on the cross-country team. Upper classmen at last, the juniors first major activity was the selection of the class ring, especially designed for the students of Paris High School. Again class members joined extra-curricular activities, including the annual Junior Class play, an entertaining and highly successful comedy entitled Ever Since Eve. The profits from this production, plus those from a well managed magazine sale, were used to finance the class-sponsored banquet and prom. I.eft to right—D. Alexander, k. Wittick, F. Tail, J.

Pane Twenty-eight Sophomore Class Last year’s “freshies” are this year’s ambitious sophomores. This class of one hundred forty-nine students will graduate in ’51, but in the meantime they feel they have a duty, a duty to make P.H.S. one of the best. Though they are not new, not upper classmen, and not going to graduate this year, the sophomore students really hold their own in Paris High School. Along with “readin’, writin, and ’rithmetic” come opportunities in which they may voice their own opinions and have a share in school affairs. To keep the gool “ole” banner of “orange and black” flying high, this class has representatives in every field of athletics. The chorus groups were not neglected by this class nor were G.A.A., F.H.A., and F.F.A. The classmen take pride in the fact that most of the cheerleaders are sophomores. For the next two years this class will be heading the school as upper-classmen. When they leave in 51, may they go with the feeling that P.H.S. has done its bit toward their future and that they have left a favorable record in the school. Left to right—G. Sunkcl, A. Crable, S.

Probably these students felt just as new and bewildered in Paris High School as those first students back in 1824 felt toward their new school. I loth were a little frightened and inexperienced, but both had futures and adventures ahead of them in this challenging world. The one hundred and ninety freshmen of today’s world plunged into school activities. Recognizing their opportunities, most of them enjoy the clubs and sports sponsored by the school. Every activity can boast the names of freshmen. In the classrooms they learn of the past in relation to the stimulating present and to get the vision of the future. With free discussion of opinions, judgments, and facts, democratic ideals are practiced through classroom procedures. All of these opportunities are open to these young Americans in the schools of today. The world will be theirs to develop, to change, and to cherish. May this new addition to Paris High School go forward in its contributions to the years ahead and keep the dream of their forefathers alive! l.eft to riyht—B. Bess, G. Stickler, Y. Simpson, S.

Coining to Paris in 1935, “Deac” Sweeley has a fine record as the Tigers’ football coach. “Ernie” Eveland has been in the athletic department since 1935 and has proved to be one of the most outstanding basketball and cross-country coaches in the state. Hailing from Elgin, Dick Dorsey, the newest staff member, coached the reserve team to a no-loss season. These men who encourage boys to become good athletes realize not only the importance of training for physical health but of training for good citizenship through good sportsmanship. P. H. S.

With limited experience, Paris came out on the short end of a 12- 0 score against Tuscola. The following week the Tigers got off to a good start against Marshall, but again fell the sting of defeat, 12-20. They jumped right on Oblong to the tune of Paris, 20 Oblong, 0. A crippled team limped out on the field to battle a Casey power and after a hard game, Paris trailed 33-0. At the Effingham Homecoming, the grid-sters could not click, and Paris bowed to a 14-20 score. Then came one of those games when Lady Luck carries the ball, and the lighting Tigers trimmed Charleston City, 38-7. In the next game they pushed a Robinson eleven all over the field with no breaks —Paris, 0-Kobinson, 20. Then the Tigers crossed the Wabash to be a four touchdown underdog and surprised everyone—Paris, 13-Gertsmeyer, 27. In November rain and mud, Georgetown proved to be the best mudders, 26-0.

With Coach “Ernie Eveland and Captain W ilson steering, there were victories over powerhouses like Galesburg, Centralia, Canton, Champaign, and East Moline. There were a few slippery stops on the road like Robinson, Danville, Waukegan, and Teutopolis. Having only three veterans of first string men from last year, Captain Max Wilson, Fred Blair, and Foster Campbell, the team finished the season in the State Sectional Tournament. It was a good trip and once again the team has a record of which to be very proud.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL Reflecting the democratic tenets of the nation, the Student Council, organized in 1943, is now in its sixth year of service to the students of Paris High School. The purpose of this organization is to provide an opportunity for student cooperation and participation in the management of school affairs. The council sponsored the purchase of the curtains for the auditorium, electrically cooled water fountains and a courtesy campaign. The money for these projects was made by sponsoring dances and a talent show and by selling stationery. The members of the council arc elected by the home rooms which are made up of the student body. The council meets every Tuesday morning. The officers for the year are Shelton Frey, president; Marjorie Foley, vice-president; Jean Kizer, secretary; and Elisabeth Jared, treasurer. The sponsors are Miss Maude E. Dorsett and Mr. Charles Johnson. Mr. Smith is an honorary sponsor. Fagr Fifty-eight HOME ROOM REPRESENTATIVES THE ARENA STAFF Miss Dorsett, sponsor; Jo Ann Martin and Judy W. Zicren, D. Johnson and J. Stephens (not Lcvings, co-editors. pictured)—Boys’ Sports; S. Weber and P. Emery—Girls’ Sports. “When are the Irenas going to he delivered this year?” “Have you signed my book yet?” “Oh, look! Here’s your picture at the Sadie Hawkins Dance!” These are the questions and reactions heard almost every year, and they reflect the general student and faculty attitude toward the Paris High School yearbook, the Irena. The Arena is the pictorial record of the work and play of the students and faculty. It has been published since 1911 and is the oldest tradition sponsored by the school. The 1948-1949 staff, composed of thirty-two seniors and three underclass representatives, is headed by the co-editors, Judy Levings and Jo Ann Martin. The faculty adviser is Miss Maude E. Dorsett. Staff meetings were held to decide the general theme, the cover, the selections for write-ups, photographs, and the general work so necessary for the editing of the book. Writers and photographers were kept busy recording the various school activities and most of them are pictured and recorded for the future. Page Sixty Top—R. Wilhoit, G. Carroll—Faculty; P.

Help the Arena and the Tiger Talcs'.” Such phrases are familiar to the Paris High School rooters. This year the financial stall’s of the Arena and the Tiger Tales have been combined into the Publications Staff, composed of seniors with Miss Annabelle Scott as adviser. There is no certain meeting time, but much is financially accomplished for the promotion of the yearbook and newspaper by selling pop corn, candy, ice cream, and other miscellaneous items at noon hours and at games. Other income sources are the sales of Arenas and advertisements in the newspaper. Some of the promoters of this program, which provides a free school paper and a very low priced yearbook, are Shelton l'rcy and Jean Kizer, co-chairmen; Charlotte Huckle, Arena sales manager; Martha Snyder, purchasing agent: Carolyn Ross, miscellaneous sales manager; Sally Gantt, advertising solicitor; and Tom Neal, re-arrangement manager.
