Word-building is taught and simple, practical conversation, as well as grounding for a college course in Spanish. One also becomes aware of the Spanish influence on our early history. FRENCH The two-year course of French helps widen one's vocabulary and conversation. If nothing else, it makes it easier to read a menu. One also becomes better acquainted with the country, the people, and their contribution to our civilization. The grammar is preparatory for college French. The common obiective of all the language courses is to gain an understanding of other peo- ple. Friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears, crates David Clover in first-year Latin. Paris High School offers two years of Latin. Why take a language no country speaks? you may ask. The fact of the matter is that over half of the words in the English language have a Latin derivation. lf you learn your Latin vocabulary, it will be easier for you to figure out the meaning of new words in English. In the study of the language, one cannot help but learn more about the country and its early civilization. Besides in- creasing one's vocabulary, English grammar, and knowledge of ancient history, Latin is sometimes required for some professions and college en- trance requirements.

Among this huge throng are 80 members ot the newly formed P.l-l.S. Bowling Teams, directed by Mr. Fitzpatrick. There are two teams, one tor the boys and one tor girls, tor in this sport a girl has an equal chance to beat a member ot the stronger l'?l sex. Although no competition with outrot-town schools was held this year, this smashing game provides much whole- some fun for its participants at the local bowling alley.

Family Circle was presented in the auditorium Friday night, November 19, 1954, after several weeks ot hard work on the part ot the property crew, the publicity committee, furniture crew, cos- tume crew, the cast, and, ot course, the director, Mr. Tucker. The 1920 sleep-walking scene from Macbeth interpreted by Cornelia. The final curtain for this year's Gables and Grcibles.

HUMECDMI G The T954 Homecoming, which was held Oc- tober 22, T954 was a spirited occasion under the direction of the Student Council. As we think over the fun we had in decorating those funny, original, or pretty floats and how they were finished in the nick of time, we realize how much Homecoming means to us. This year a freshman homeroom float llvir. Waltman'sD won the original class, the Financial Staff float won the pretty class, and a senior homeroom float Wir. John- son'sl won the funny class. Our beaming Queen, Diane Wilhoit, who reigned over the festivities, was crowned at the dance following the game by Don Swinford. Her attendants were: Seniors- Kay Ann Babb, Car- olyn Ivlorrisey, and Vada Swinford, iuniors - Joan Martin, Rae Payne, and Leatha Jane Staley, sophomores- Karen Sue Babb, Nancy Shaw, and Nancy Sims, and freshmen -Linda Morrisey, Bar- bara Rogers, and Judy Seward. This year we had a conga line for the first time in a number of years, which made our Horne- coming more festive. We were not so fortunate in our football game against the Charleston Trojans.

These are the pieces of the puzzle that tit together to make your picture ot Paris High School. There was fun. You had merry moments with your friends. There were dances. After-game dances, club dances, class dances. CHomecoming Dancet. There were crowded, active hours after school. CDecorating the gym for the May Fetel.
