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. Payc Niue

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
