The Senior Class The “Modern Forty-Niners” graduate on May 31, 1949. 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.
