This results from the tact that, for twenty- seven years, one man has been at its head, and his influence has become its tradition., Instructors have some and gone, the course ot study has been revolutionized, the Board of Education has been almost completely altered in composi- tion, graduates have married and their children, in turn, have completed its courseg even the olgl Hsehool house, endeared to so manyhearts by the memories otyouthful joys and woes, has givenyplace to a new and Vmodern build- ing. Still, sthrough all changes, they same genial and cul- tured nature Ytas impressed itselt alike upon' student-body and community. ' y 'S A ' y VVilliam Douglas Christian, since 1884 Superintendent ot' Schools at Paris, was ,born in 1855, at Cassville, Barry county, lVIissouri. ln I863lllSli2tll1Ql'WZl5 conhned at Spring- field, in the historic',court house on the square Cnow about to be replaced byginevv structurej by the Federal govern- ment, and so Mr. Christian started to school in that city, on his eighth birthday. His most intimate acquaintances alone can have any great knowledge of his early life, for his ex- treme modesty prevents him from speaking much of bim- seltg and only from chance remarks, let fall in familiar con- versation, does one obtain an Occasional glimpse of his rich .,-I4-- and varied experience. The present writer will always re- call with pleasure Mr. Christian's relation of his first ac- quaintance with Shal4espeareg of how a new heaven and a new earth were opened before the lad, and how the pamph- let, containing but a single play, was fairly read to pieces. So early, then, did he reveal that sensitiveness to the high and worthy things of life, which has made his teaching an inspiration. l After spending three years in the Academy of West- minster College, and four years in the collegiate depart- ment, Mr. Christian was graduated inthe classical course in 1877, receiving the'degsee of lVIaster of Arts in 1881. In' his senior year, he won the oratorical prize in the MlSSOL1l'l intercollegiate contest at Liberty, and represented Missou1'i in the interstatef contest at Madison, VVis., the same year. He was elected,'in IQOQ, president of the Alumni Society of his college. i Mr. Christian was Superintendent of the High School at Weatherford, Tex., 1877-783 and from 1881 to 1884 was Professor of Greek in Fosterfs Academy at St. Louis. In the latter year began his connection with the Paris High School, which has continued to the present time-what we must regard as the great work of his lifeg for, to Paris people at least, the training of their youth for so many years and the development of their school cannot seem trivial or unimportant. This school had been graded and za secondary depart- ment organized, some years before, but its chaotic condi- tion can be appreciated, by teachers aft least, when it is known that the superintendent had been changed almost yearly. Say two men, who have been ideintified with the di- rection of the school almost from its organization, one of them an early teacher in it, t'Considering previous condi- tions, the highest praise that can be paid Mr. Christian is, that he has been able to stay in Paris for twenty-seven ' -r u- u,. 51-2' , rgv-I'-S has fue....'--12-gaiza.-f:.u ' f t - ' l3f1'.lFW'E'f !4f-EY?G- ' t .-15... yearsf' VVe must remember, too, thattin those days there was no University articulation, no State Course of Study, no active supervision by the Department ot Education, to give some continuity and coherence to the work duringthe rapid sequence of changes. H S The young Greek professor found that, for. graduation, no positive requirements in foreign languages were made, and that only three students in the school had had more than .1 1- one vearis work in Latin, Which language alone was offered. Under Mr. Christianis influence, two years' Work in a for- eign language is required of every student, instruction is given in Latin and German, and Greek long had a place in the curriculum. The proficiency of his pupils in the classi- cal languages is recognized throughout the State, and in all schools their work is accepted at face value. The progress ofthe school in other departments has been equally marked, but the classics are Mr. Christian's specialty, and this arti- cle is concerned rather with the man, than with the school upon which he has stamped his personality. One of the greatest elements of Mr. Christian's workin Paris is his peculiar charm and happiness as an instructor. Work in his subjects is always prepared, and prepared well. Students, lazy and uninterested under other teachers, quick- en into industry and life inihis classes. His long experience and ripe Culture furnish him with a grasp of matter and a Wealth of illustration Which cannot fail to appeal to an intel- ligent boy or girl.. One of the gentlemen before quoted says: 'fl have had many a boy say to me, 'l had planned to quit school after this term, but l'll be in Mr. Christian's class next year, so I'm going to stay.' He considers the individual student, his inclinations and his needs. His ac- quaintance, as a rule, with the chi1d's whole school careerg with that of his parents also, in many cases, with his envir- onment and heredity, tit Mr. Christian for such a task as no one else is, or can be, short of the same long and continu- -15- ous association with a single people. To the student-body, he is separate and apart from all other teachers. They may be popular or unpopular, may receive obedience or defi- ance, but he is outside all such calculations. The students feel toward him rather as toward a father, who is to be loved and obeyed asa matter of course, without question. This tremendous influence is and has been always -exerted in the cause of a deeper, truer, intellectual and moral culture. I A To his subordinates, Mr. Christian is uniformly consid- erate and helpful. His counsel can point the best and easi- est way out of any dilemma, 'and one is cliscoveriing con- stantly fresh cause for admiration of his widom and knowl- edge both. of books and men. A sound conservatism re- strains undue youthful exuberance, but along with it goes a liberal inclination to let each instructor manage his own de- partment. This liberal conservatism has always been one of Mr. Ch'ristian's characteristics. In connection with Dr. S. S-I Laws, T. .Berry Smith, and others, he, in 1886, started the Summer Stchool of Science at Sweet Springs, which was the promoter of laboratory methods in science in Missouri high schools. He also presided over the first council of teachers, which met at Columbia, to bring about the articulation of schools. I From his first arrival in Paris Mr. Christian held a place as one of the most notable beaus of the town, to which his elegant person, cultured mind and old-time Southern cour- tesy eminently entitled him, even in that generation famous for the gallantry of its men, the beauty of its women and the frank gaiety of its unpretentious social life. A persistent and favored Squire of dames, he iigured in the romances of the successive belles of the town for many years, and gained the reputation of confirmed bachelorhood. Nevertheless, iii 1904, he married Miss Blanche Adams, who had been one of his pupils, and the marriage has proven. most fortunate.

And this slight appreciation can close with no better Wish for Mr. Cliris,t'Aiz1,nii than that she may have the privilege of sharing that instrniction which has quilckened the minds and fired the hearts of so many of the boys and girls of Paris. -296 NOBLE LEE GARRLSON Principal.

He was a very bright .jboy in his younger days and his parents took him from school to school accorditfgly as he got ahead of his teachers in his subjects. However, a few traces of this brightnesfs still re- main and shine forth from among hisnumerous good S traits like a tin can in a dbserted al- ley. As a Junior he went through the year like an angel, and was known asia well be- haved, quiet young student. But now as a Senior he is quite changed. He stii gets his lessons,,but the angel part of him is gone, and he is running through school like a demon. When he is reproved by his teachers he says I don't care 3 I've got a girl.

' In disprovol of the general maxim that great people are born in obscure places, Adda- leane Buford made her first appearance in the renowned city of Paris, July 9, 1892. At the age of six she performed her first important and far-reaching act of her so far uneventful existence by starting to school. For the space of eight years this daughter of our city wenizled her way with noble and laborous efforts through the grammar school, and ob- tained during those years of obscurity the talent of painting and drawing which is making her famous. After she began the second heat of her educational pursuit, by entering the Paris High School, she has developed a talent for cartooning. Her one ambition is to marry a title from the old World. Her romantic disposition declares in tones that produce a strain on the imagination that this lucky personage should be none other than an Earl. For four years she has struggled with these passions along With her studies and still has vis- ions of the man of her dreams and his castle. Liifffiiiyffif'-Z f1' -' ' ' ..-25..

A veritable heart-breaker, was introduced to this old World on June 7, 1892. She was a delightful little girl with dark hair and brown eyes, born to sooth the pain of loneliness often found in a young man's heart. She has one chief ambition-to be loved by all-and it seems disappointment will be impossible. Her power has been experienced in various places such as Elk City, Holdenville and Paris, and her pathway is strewn with broken hearts and sweetiremembrances. When this picture was taken she was grieving over the fact that her beaux could only call on Fridavl Saturday and Sunday nights. Ordinarily she is known by her gay laughter. sweet eyes, and Wayward tresses flitting about her face. She never blushes, but has been known to shed tears. She will sass her teachers and afterwards say, You are the grandest-- Her fate is fixed for she has an aversion to the God of Love, and one by one the boys learn that the world is gray because of her. -H V -- --1----f-Hfec eee- be wa... !

At the age of seven years she bloomed forth in the intellectual World, at a place called Rising Sun. These two cities however, were the exalted possessors of this lovely and enlightened maiden for only two years. Following the sun on its Western course she changed her place of residence to the prairies of Western Iowaland brought her parents with her. Two years this flower of Mediapolis frisked and ran lwild over the spreading prairies of Iowa, when she became aware of the slowness of life in that locality and took up her abode in the City of Carson. At the end of her second year, Lola, sighing for more so- cial worlds to conquor came to Missouri in 1904.

He was so bright that his parents sent him to school when he was but Ilve in order to give the other boys a chance to keep up with him. However, his parents greatly mlsgjudged their boy's ability for in two years his comrades were still in addition while Reg was cleaning up in long division. Reg has seen considerable of the world, is a brilliant boy, but has this year joined the Strollers Club. It is too bad that a boy who gives promise of such a Worthy career should find himself hope- lessly entangled in Cup1d's meshes. Yet, alas! such is the case, and as he fre- quents the I'arks', the ties that bind make his escape quiteimpossible. Just how he ever won the title Sal is largely a mystery, but from the above one should make a good guess. He is nothingllke so mean as his picture looks, but withal is a talented youth, a creditable lawyer, a sta-r debater, and has a gentle nature and sweet disposition. 4 h ' -- --- -ve-I '-'- - --- qw--N---ff?----T--T---w:ynyq 1 --3o- RUTH SANDERS Paris, MO.

Here under the instruction of a compe- tent teache1', ltuthlefs ideas began to shoot and have been shooting ever since. Thus for elght happy care-free years Sweetness grew up, climbing fences, playing tag, dabbllng ln love, and studying boys. Shortly after her entrance to the lllgh School she gave evidence of her susceptibility to Dan Cupid. To speak of the in- cense burned- at the altar of her favorite divinity would be sacrillglous. It is best to pass overdthls portion of her religious rites as being something few can under- stand and none appreciate. Ruth willingly gave her time and attention to l any activity VVIIICII goes to make up school life. She was an active worker in one of the debating clubs and her musical talent has well served the Paris High School. 1 , ' -r 4-Li. .....3I... 4 WA l l l l l l l fs , - K QCYNXKJLA smrsox S Paris, Mo.

Her idle time from childhood has been spe11t in mlmlgklng the neighbors, avoiding work indoors and playing croquet, and baseball out of doors with the other country jades. ' She is a natural born rider, a crack shot, a fair stu- dent, a swell cartoonist, and the chief fun-maker in school. Just think what a wide education this Pal of ours has received ln our midst. Opal has had one very serious misfortune during her quiet uneventful life. During a period of bas- ketball enthusiasm she journeyedto Holliday and rooted- for the home team. On her return she wrote such a glowing account of l1er experiences that S116 has in- curred the everlasting hatred of the inhabitants of that metropolis.

It came to pass in the year, 1907, that one Godby the Victor, was having visions of the ilunkers in the days to come, and Christian, the King, was thereby strengthenediin his kingi dom. A , 2.

All these Freshies did quake and tremble with fearin the presence of this mighty King, and they entered into a cov- enant with him by which certain of these Freshies whowere from afar were permitted to pay twenty-one, dollars and remain among the children of the tfibes. if 6. Then the King called unto him his mighty men and divided among iiii them these new comers, placing part of them in the Tribe of Godby, part in the Tribe of Alexander, and part in the Tribe of Mason, ' X 7.

During the next seven months of the reign of Christian and his captains of the -host, peace and pleasure camel unto the little strangers in the land, and they sang praise unto their new Chieftains and their leader. V 9. But on the first day of the eighth month consternation reigned throughout the landg a great pow-wow had broken out among the leaders of the tribes and the inhabitants thereof were left to themselves. - 4 10. But lol a mass meeting was held, and all the children of the tribes of Christian .gathered before the King to harken unto his commands. A 11. And in this great asseimblage there were those who did not love the strangers both from far and near, and they did make a charge of disertibn against them. ' 12. This madeitlfe' King :and his mighty men of valour very wroth, and straightway thellireishies lost their recess period. 13. Behold hh the eighth day ofthe eighth month a great conflict was wagedfin the court-yard of the palace and the mul- titude gathered about. ' f I ' 4 ' 14. The mightiest of the Ffresliies were winning glory for themselves by their many deedsaof prowess. The struggle was long and fierce, but. when peace. again reigned among the 'chil- dren of Christians, the little strangers were declared conquorers and their colors floated above all others. ' 15. And the great King and his Chieftains were 'proud 'of their Freshies and sent unto them smiles and pleasant words on every occasion thereafter. A A 1 16. Therefore, on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month there was a great rejoicing 'throughout all the land on the part of the little strangers, and they with the others forthwith depart- ' K ' v - '1'FlB.'Fl1i l'l'I'l61t9I-iF P' , - t ed to hills of their native country to sing of the praises of tribes of Christian. fn - . . . . t C Gllteqater 2 J. p r . ill, On the ,twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, in the year of our Lord, A. D., 1908, the King issued a proclamation call- ing together oncf more the Children of the Tribes.. 2. And 'itlicame to pass that among the multitude that harkened to the voice of the King, there were to? be seen the Freshies who had so lately departed fromthe reaim. 3. Forthwith in the presence of his mightyrchieftains the little strangers were declared Sophomoresiin the Tribes of the King of the Parisians. ' Q t 4. And sgtraightway there was a great tumult heard throughout the and surrounding country, for the Sopho- mores were gaining mortal victories over the new Freshies who came at the cali of the King. A ' 5. And though the struggle was bitter and attended with tribulations andfsorrows, the Sophomores, recalling how they had been treated the preceeding year, redoubled their efforts and overcame their would-be mastersg pt-hus.g..g.aining a victory which made them conquorers of all time. 6. In the seventh month of the reign of this year, King Christiagn callediunto him his mighty men of valour and consult- ed withfthem concerning a Day of Rejoicing, I - 7. 'Accojgdingly an edict of the King went forth declaring a day of celebration and of rest, throughout all the tribes. There was great excitement among the children of Christian. The tribes were arrayed for a Field Meet. Also there was a great feasting throughout the entire city. r - . 8. On this day set apart by the King the mightiest of the children ofthe various tribes won many a victory, and from the 1 y, - ---1 --A -Q Y - - -- --1-M.. -- - .,-.a.-as-aa.,-,..a. ....3Q.. brave Sophomores of that day, Grigsby, Crawford and Hanger, did make themselves noted in the kingdom as athletes. V 9. In the eighth month of this rule of the tribes the num- bers of the Sophomores were decreased on account of the dam- sels Deaver, Dawson, Meyers, McGee and othersbeing declared Juniors by Christian the King- and his chiefs. y 10. By this time the Soiphomores were growing weary of labours imposed upon them and on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month with joy in their hearts they departed from school work to join the ranks of pleasure seekers. b V , J .

Now in the third year as the tribes once more gathered at the palace, the Triumphant Sophomores, now Juniors by rank, constituting the Tribe of Allen, .met in the citadelto choose a leader. 1 - . y 2. The lot fell upon Ellington who was famous at the time and who afterward wrought great good among his fellows. 3. In the sixth month the Chief of the tribe did drink Coco-cola and began to be merry. The Juniors were left unto themselves. ' ' A ' . ' - 4. They prayed unto their god and were made ready to be received among the idlers of the palace, but Christian the King intervened. - 5. And on the fifteenth day of the ninth month the Juniors held a great council and decided among themselves to hold a mighty feast, to eat, drink and be merry. 6. But the spirit' of good-fellowship moved them to take pity upon the Seniors and they 'did request their attendance at the feasting, which was accepted without hesitation. T I 7. On this occasion, damsels Buford, Major, Gibson and Sanders did work wonders with crepe paper and domestic , . ., . ,. gr-5-,mp ,f,f.,J- wv1w1n -39-1 . science.

Thus began and ended the thirdyear. of the hiystofgfiif our little band. . i y Glhapirr 4 y Again on the ninth day of' the ninth month in the year 1910. these loyal subjects of the King were summoned to ap- pear before Christian and the newly appointed leaders of his tribes? this time to take the honored position of seniors in the Paris5High School. ' , 2. The kingdom of Christian had increased so much that the children were divided into four tribes instead of three. These tribes were known as Ggiarrison, Poage, Stoltzfus and A1ggiarnder. T I , Now the leaders of these tribes worked unceasingly and 'with vigilance, doing greatgood for the children bt Chris- tian. i . 1 ' ,4'f In the second month: great changes were wrought amongst them.

Likewise, those who were gifted with make believe were assembledctogetheru in a chamber of the palace and made into a Mermaid'l club, T 9. During the Siitth month some of the Seniors in the tribes of Stoltzfus, I Poage, Garrison and Alexander distinguished themselves in i'i' literaryiwhrk. 'Sproul became famous as a pre- siding officer, BobbylgThorndike and judgeg Ellington won glory for his comrades ilvig as Father, Hamlet and the Duke 'of Barringtonigu while'h'Reginald Ragland gained renown as de- bater, lawyerkand oratgor. 10.

Ruth Sanders, known among the children of the King as Sweetness, 'isi heralded as a vocalist, musician and public speakerf' Opal Wingate' is distinguished as the best reader amongst all the tribes, while the writer has spent a life- time winning tiitlfitlfriendship of the Childrengg-of the King. 12. In the eighth 'month the Seniors lost one of their greatest warriorsiiand mightiest men of valbrga when the athlete Grigsby received an appointment to West' Ifgint and straightway departed from among the tribes of Christian . T ' r - 13. Toward the close of this eventful ,reign .of. the King and his chieftains, there appeared ,aj sacred writing, entitled THE SKYLARK, ia book containing the complete acts of the children of the tribes. 5 ' - r fffQ?Q53lZ7f',f:31Y1.Q1 ff7i5- -.5-'s?.f1'.5a.J,s,Lti'-1-dis21rilallilfikiiiizillilllliiiiu mi ,....

Deeper ,and deeper 'the forest I went, never thinking to look' back, indeed not caring to. The air grew fresher. the trees more dense, arid the flowers more beautiful as I tripped along. I seem- edlhztlfi enehanted by the mysterious beauty of it all, and rambled along heedless of Where I was going. Suddenly I came upona beautiful lake which barred my progress. For a,pmome'nt,,,I stood enraptured by the glories of forest and whichiiwere reilected from its mirror-likevsurface, but the next instant an unseen hand seemed toguidepme to the edge of tfhe lake and kneeling I looked into' its depths. And as I looked strangely familiar faces seenied to pass me by in the walks of life, and it was with joy thatl recognized the faces of my old school mates in the class of IQII. Among, the first was a young Womaniiwith ga milk-pail on one a-rm,iher apron pockets bulging witfttin cans, aniold red sun-bonnet pushed off her forehead. 'She was 'climbing a rail-fence preparing to milk the cows. 1 Distinctly I heard these words: Now I wonder what is keeping Lon. He ought to have been here before now.

After a moment a slow and shiftless fellow came leisurely along with just enough energy to keep up appear- ances before his witels relatives. His hair was covered with flour and I had dithculty in recognizing Sproul, the miller. Again the scene changed and I beheld a slender, rather tall individual, with long hair, a curling mustache and immacu- late attire, bowing and smiling with many a Hourish of the hand before an immense audience which was waving hand- kerchiefs and strewing boquets. It was Ellington, the mu- sician. I followed the crowd from this hall and saw my old classmate, Miss Jones, the book agent, her swarthy face be- grimed with dust, carrying in either hand a large satchel containing numerous volumes of books, and heard her say- ing, 'tl3ooks, books for sale cheap, ttThe Virginians,'7 A Tale of Two Litiesm t'Lamb'sEssays,H and Shakespeare's Hjulius Caesarfi Everybody should read Julius Caesar. The way he treats his wife is just ffercef' ' Close behind, leaning on the arm of a tall, distinguished look- ing man wearing green glasses and a clergyman's cos- tume came Zillah Burgess, formerly a great favorite in so- cietv, now the wife of a foreign missionary. Her mischiev- ousveyes were hid behind a veil of black, her dress was of the same sombre hue, and she appeared restless and ill at ease with her companion. After these came a queerly dress- ed persou with t'Forsaken written in every line of her face. The same complacent look, the same manner-of-fact air, led me to recognize Lynnola Simpson, the poetess, also an essay- ist of no mean talent. Her hair was twisted in a small knot at the back ot he1 head, IIOITI whuh piotiudcd about h nlt 1 dozcn lcld pcnuls tnd s veral Wl1IlllgDCIlS She W IN bus 1 engaged in IL u11t1nff IICI latest potm h tkln h 1 hc ld by vvly ot LIUPIIJSIS 1nd OCLlS1OI'1llly muttcunff somcthmfr about th p xhdity ol men I1 11thc1 up thc uowdcd tho1 ouffhfaxe I saw 'IUOIIILI scholally looking 1nd1v1dual holding seve1al ot thc latest ed1t1ons ot law books and le tnmg on 1 gold headed cane This was RLTIIUJICI, the 11s1n1f younw ldW5CI The next person was MICISIUOISLIIS Bufo1dc the ienowned a1t1st, who had just won thc wxo1ld s ch11np1on ship tor the most lute like p1ctu1c The winning picture was a1cp1oduct1on ot Pxoi Garilson IU his IEIVOIIIC attitude befou, the Chemistry clxss Close behind her was an a1t1st s model, a beautiful gnl of about IOLII and twenty dark w lvy han, blue eyes, 1cdl1ps h'1ltpa1ted to show 1 1oW ot diz zling White teeth 'I his was MHIIL Ragland, to pose IS Cle Opiltll A la1gc c1owd IZLIIIJLI up the stleet now 1'EI1'ICl6CI my attention and I waited caffexly to get aV1cW ot the speak er s face She was endeavoring with all the strength of her lungs to increase the numb r of advocates: for' WOIDGD s R1ghts For ft lone time I was puzzled IS to who thc lec- turer Was, but after awhile I heard her'e'4cl--um, Ivvas once plaintiff in a divorce sult, Strahorn versus Str-lhorn ' In my excitement at hearing this trutn I accidcntdly loosened a stone which fell with a great splash into the wa- ter, causing every face to vanish R1S1HfT half dazed, I made my Way tovvflrds home ' 'Many days have passed since then and time h lS brouffht many chanffes, but I shall newer forfret this Destiny of the SCHIOI' Class of Nm-teen Hundred Eleven, foretold in the 1VIilglC Lake Y - fl ff l -5 ' vi W E E' -fiF3f'fZf?1lf'T'Y7i?

Miss Miers is developing an unusual talent as an artist both with the brush and needle, and her reputa- tiontghas gone far beyond the city of Paris. We regret that Miss Miers cannot be with us in our school life, but rejoice that she is winning fame for the group of 712 with her un- usual artistic gifts.

When this 'band of capable and industrious students began their four years of learning, they were exactly forty in number. At first, when theupper classes and townspeople saw the memorable class they thought them to be decidedly fresh. However, this thought has verily changed in the years that have come. The events of the first year will long be remembered? in the history of the Paris High School. The knowledge these E-rieshies was astonishing. Even the lofty Seniors,i before the year was up,.sought adviceifrotn those whom tliey had thought incapable and were taught by those whom. it had been their custom to teach. I g if During the second year of the class of ,I2, the reisponsi- ble positions in athletics and literary work, held by them, show the esteem in which they were held by the stueint body and the faculty. The few that were lost in the Sopfhomore year were missed a great deal, butnew members have par- tially replaced this loss, and the excellent work and indus- try of the remaining ones showed that they were still faith- ful to the school. ii y il When the third year of learning began, they again the pride, not only of Paris High School, but theicity of Paris also. It was the Juniors who held responsible posi- tions in athletics. It was the class of ,I2 that furnislied the majority of the material for the play, and who furnished the Editor-in-Chief of the 'fSkylark and many other of its of- ficers. It was the same class that supplied two of the deba- ters in the Inter-High-School debate. Indeed! so great a . '-74-' name has it won for itself that a number of Sophomores are seeking, by outside Work, to join its ranksg and it is rumor- ed that some ofthe Seniors are willing to spend another year with the institution of knowledge in order to be one of the chosen bands I i .

In 1909, we were greeted with iF'Poor little Freshmenf' Green little Freshmen,', and our only consolation was-others had been Freshmen once, we would not be next year. During this time demerits' accompanied us everywhere in large num- bers, and Professor Christian said t'We must train the pup- pies while they are young so we won't havei much trouble after awhilef' I ' As Sophomores, our worst trouble has been singing in chapel exercises. Gur Erst morning on the roslrum will long be remembered. The ,number was given out, chord struck and our melodious voices were raised to the highest pitch. Some were rather Qbackwaird, yet our singing was heavenly-at least they said? it was,,11n'earthly. g After the Christmas vacation we lost three of our most beautiful and popular mearribeirs, Misses Lewis, Major and Lipp. They were too bright'it'o remain in our class and not wishing to humiliate the remaining members they decided to Hquituatef' 1 l .

This particular group of pupils was not only impressive because of their newly acquired dignity but more especially because of the brilliant emerald hue which seemed to envelop them. Whzitever may be said of the love for their studies nothing seemed to appeal to their sense of the fitness of things as did Latin, especially the present of amo. And in Music, as demonstrated from the rostrum this class did itself credit and was greeted with plaudlts of the admiring upper classmen.

Each ' student is supposed to have a place on the prograiii once each quarter, which is considered as part of the workin English. In this way, not only do the students who have shown special ability along certain lines which has been de- veloped in the various other clubs, lurnish entertainment for ' the school, but the younger and untried students have an t v T. o ortunit to revealtheir articular ca acities, andtheir PP Y P P fitness for work in the various other organizations. ,.

The purpose of the Mermaid Club, as stated in the con- stitution, is the development of its members in reading, dec- lamation, and dramatic interpretation, and the study of the drama as a literary form. So far, the only activity 'of the elulrhas been the presentation of the comedy Home, but an extensive and varied program is being planned foimnext year. i . . Good plays have C a high culture, value. Those to be presented by the Mermaid Club are atom ,be of real literary Worth, and their study and interpretation, to say nothingof the drill in reading, -will be of great Value in the regular school Work, especially in literature. The exercise in meml orizing and the substitution of ease for selfeconscience awk- 'wardness are additional benefits of prime importance. I In addition, the members will gain experience in other directions. Those who have 'charge of the business man- agement, the advertising, ticket-selling and r-W, seating,-and the creation of the stage setting, all offwhich is entrusted to students,attain both experience and self-reliance and receive a training of no little importance. ' - It may be added in conclusion that the work of the Club is not allowed to interfere with the regular schoolwork. Most of its performances Will be in connection with the Fri- day afternoon programs of the Olympian Literary Society. No student who is deficient in his classesis eligible formem- bership, and unsatisfactory class Work may disqualify a member for taking part in any performance.

APPEAL PRINT- This is a catchy little play in which a young man, who had run away from home, returned to England and found his father about to marry a capricious young widow. Under disguise he attempts to prevent the marriage and in so doing Wins the hatred of his fatherhand the love of the widow. At the climax the son reveals his identity, the widow is brought out in her true colors, and the rather finds itspossible to for- give his son and dismiss the Woman. A number of minor love affairs are cleverly interwoven in the plot. There have been many creditable criticisms in regard to this play, showing that the efforts of those Who assisted in giving it were appreciated. The director and the partici- pants deserve much praises -95- THE SILENT SIX, This is a secret society, whose purpose, known only to one member of the Faculty, makes it entirely worthy as a student organization.

Too few pupils realize that an education is complete only when it de- velops the pupil along many lines--when it really prepares him for life. ' In life We must not only be able to recognize the merits and demerits of vital questions and problems vvhich-arise daily, but must be able to present them logically and force- fully to our fellovvmen and to persuade them that our view ofthe matter is correct. Our schools are preparing boys and girls to be leaders in the world, hence the purpose of debating in a school: To train in weighing evidence, in forcefully presenting argument, and in convincing others. To get the most out of each debate given during the year, and to inspire each pupil participating in the debate to do his best, on everyloccasion, two rival debating clubs have been organized. And these debates have been pronounced by disinterested parties as being, of very high order. In or- qder to further encourage the debaters on each occasion to gsolqs-sgqgp W.-'..f.,1-7.

The judges foreach of these joint debates have been citizens of' Paris. This eliminates any partiality or biased feeling that might exist among the students, and guarantees an absolutely fair and just decision, for each contest. The debating clubs meet each Week during the year on some night suitable to the majority of the members and de- bate the question Which is to be considered at the joint de- bate. This preliminary debate induces the students to be- gin early on their preparation and arrangement of material. It also brings before the contestants that are to representthe club in the joint debate, all the important arguments of both sides of the question. At these meetings all members ofthe club criticise and make suggestions concerning the debate in general. Some teacher always meets with the students each time and offers criticism and suggestions as he sees Ht. This year the debating clubs have been meeting at the homes of the various members. After the business session and debate, which is carried through in parliamentary man- ner, a very pleasant social time is enjoyed by all. -l- .11 I ' Zll'lSf0f2li8ll Ttlmfillg Society Motto.: 4'The Wreatli is for those who Contendf' Colors: Sapphire and Silver. , O F Fl C E R S W Faculty advisor ....... ....... ................

Under his instruction the boys made remark- able progress and at the close of six weeks practice made their first appearance in public. Later in the year they gave a con- cert which seemed to be thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed' by all present. The High School Band also did its part in sup- portingsiudent enterprises by rendering music when opportunity offered, and proved itself a worthy school organization.

More physical training in the way of games is constantly being added to our schools, and in time all schools' will see to it that proper physical culture is within the reach of all pupils ableto take advantage of the same. 4 a A BASKETBALL. A l This yeargthe High Schoolstudents started in earnest to develop a basket ball team and succeeded in interesting many boys and girls. Class games were played at various times and a partial schedule was arranged with out-of-town teams. Among the boys in schoolthe majority were out for practice 'at some time during the year, while the girls developed two teams which enabled them to turn out the champion team of the school. s On the whole the season was a success and it is to be hoped that the game will be continued as part of the athletic sports during each school year. Q ' FOOT BALL. Foot bal-l was not seriously attempted this year because of the lack of .material and a coach, but a number of local contests were held among the various classes. In 'these considerable ability in football was shown by the players, and an unusual interest in the game manifested by the student body. The game will be resumed in a creditable' manner as sogn as opportunity offers. BASE BALL. Base ball, our national game, is recognized by all to be one of the best of our athletic sports for an all-round student and has for years been encouraged by the Paris High School. The team this year, though lacking a coach and training, has shown some promising material and has proven itself a match for any team it has played this season. fTF7?Pf'Y'?TT '- V' 7 TTT Q.

HEATHMAN --:t19-- The Stung uf at Earhelnr Upon a recent visit to the home of a friend, who is somewhat advanced in years and a confirmed old bachelor, we casually fell upon the subject of Women in our con- versation. a They are useful creatures, I said, and wondered if any of them would everfhave any use for me. t'Ahemg I believe they are considered so,7' said my sa- tirical friend, dryly.- in . I wondered if this old woman-hater had ever been jilted by one of the fair sex. , lVIy friendff I ventured, which do you think is the animal most useful to man, his wife or his dog?,' i . His dogf' grunted my friend without hesitation. Explain yourselff, I cried, for I had always been a defender of womankind. ttSince it is you who ask, he began, I will tell you how it happened. When I was a young buck, some several years ago, I thought I-'was quite a sport. Iwore flashy clothes and a beaming countenance. It was my greatest de- light to be thought a ladies' man by everyone, or to imagine I was. y - t A My attentions, during my early youth, were centered upon a playmate of mine, who had red hair and a pug nose. I thought in the ardor of my affection, that this fair one, Nancy Spookendyke by name, was the flower of the uni- verse. But as I grew older, I took the notion that man was a fool, unless he insisted upon having the best of every- thing. I commenced to compare my Nancy with certain other fair ones, and the observation plunged me into deep thought. , H ,.,,.,,,,P.,.T. 1.5, - f7rf-:.-n,n-'- 1. is... . i Jmwamrvfr-'nwruvmarwwrlvnrvnsvz-sfbwf,151a' in-rw . . vl!lf'f1 'rvx'f1 7'f11f1ry-urs?-p31vl4!yr17'-g'vyv1-frivvsrrafrvimffffLr'Err.f.'yp.-'iawvrfymgnI-,favv r 'F'!?

I was taken off my feet in an in- stant. Indeed, it was perfectly natural, if an angel should meet you, what would you do? I spent my very last cent in trying to please that woman, and in trying to win her love. If gave me one glance out of those star-like eyes, I could liveifor a week on just the thoughts of it. 'i'f But, one day, another fellow came along. spoke to and talked to him lovingly, and would have inothing to do with me. I believe I should have done some- thing desperate, if some good friend had not taken compas- sion on me, and told me they were married. I I then turned back to dear old Nancy, but Iill be hanged if she hadn't gone and got married tool T - '-SNOW, my friend, do you wonder why I have 'such a poor opinion of women, and so little faith in themilw. I Shake, old manf' I said heartily, 'fyou have con- aa 0 4 vertecl me by your sound reasoning. -fokn E'ZUZ.7lg'l 6 6 V A ,meannrahle Hiatt Sitting alone,'this beautiful April morning, my thoughts reverted to a Sunday morning about a year ago, vvh.enI went, with my chum, on a visit to her home, some five miles east of Paris. Her mother came for us on Friday afternoon. The Weather Was bright and balmy, and we were anticipating a joyful time, since We were going to attend church' ini the country, on Saturday night and twice on Sunday. ' - You may be sure we took our new springhats and suits, thinking thereby to create quite a sensation, for we were 'Vm1?,HTh,5,t,Hrfgq.,m,:,,,T,T,Ts?,,T,.T-:A:.7,,.f-,.? . 1-7-ff, ,WW f-W-r '-', .

We attended church on Saturday night, but were wise enough to leave the spring hats and suits at home, for it was then- snowing so hard we could scarcely see the horses. When we arrived at the church, there were only about a dozen people there, and preaching was almost over. How- ever, we were there long enough to get good and warm be- fore starting for home. W When we finally reached home, we found that, on lock- ing up, every door and window had been fastened, and 'the night-lock turned ong but, after working for some time, we got inside. We soon had a roaring fire, by which we slept the sleep of the just and dreamed blissful dreams of the morrow. ' y Sunday morning dawned, and -such a day! The trees, which were in full leaf, were loaded down with snow. A more beautiful sight I never beheld, but our hopes were sadly blighted, for we were still longing to display those spring costumes. , That every cloud has a silver lining is surely true, for after noon the clouds drifted away-or went to rest to gath- er fresh snow-and the sun shone brightly., Also, our beaux appeared on the scene, prepared to take us ,back to town and school. But in the course of an hour or two,the clouds had gathered again, and with renewed energy were sending down great flakes of snow, fast and furiously. None the less, about five o'clock, after partaking of that horrible pineapple ice, we started for town. We ar- rived there in due' time, without accident but looking as if we had drifted from the North Pole.

So we had to entertain our beaux in the family room, thereby relegating the rightful occupants ofthat room to the warmth of the kitchen fire. In my ovvn home a like condition prevailed, and, the kitchen' fire being out, the family were hustled off to hed. - ' Having thus been left the use of the family fire, we soon forgo-t that the snow was falling and theiwind howling. - i But alas for the boys, who must return live miles, alone, through Wind and snow! And this should serve as- a warning to girlslnot to be in too great a hurry to take down Qarlor stoves. ' --Leona ffardwick. Hartz lgigh Svrhnnl Our school ! it's the dear old Parls lllgh: Its students are always eager to try To do something good, or do something great, And learn all they can before it's too late. If they dldn't skylark, they surely would be The most perfect pupils you'd wish to see. Ourteachers they are the best anywhere near, Andlthey keep idle pupils in constant fear Of having demerlts sprinkled around, lf they dare so much as make a sound. But for all this fault the teachers are dear, And are loved by all with hearty good cheer. The boys all study and learn what they can, Because each one thinks that he's the man Upon whom depends the life of his school, And of cou1'se the boys are the ones who rule. 'l'he girls are pretty, but oh ! what a shame '1'o see them so anxious to change their name. 0ur,debattng.: societies, too, are greatg But unluckily Moberly won the debate, Though we thought our bebaters were dandy too,- So three cheers for the white and the navy blue ! Of course we we1'e sad that we dld not beat, But we're game and know how to accept defeat. Now we sadly look forward to the day When Par1s.Hlgh School will be far away.

In a few days I com- menced to work a little bit-or at least l thought I was work- ing-and of course I worked, or stayed, around the niggers. One day my father put the oldest of the darkies, better known as Uncle Nelse, and myself to hauling rails and building fence. All I did was to drive the team. We had to talk about somethingg and you all might-know I was very in- quisitive and listened with great interest to everything that Nelse told me, which pleased him very much. The conversation final- ly led round to a church meeting that was to be held in a log cabin at the settlement of Shakerag. This place is strictly col- ored, although not of any great size,tfor the land does not per- mit dense population. The niggers were going to build a churchg and this meeting was held to determine where it should be, at Shakerag or in the town of Holliday. Friday night was the time set for the meeting. . V When Friday night arrived I got permission from my par- ents to go with Uncle Nelse. This was not hard to obtain, for they all trusted old Nelse, and he had grownto think a great deal of me and I also had become quite attached to him. ,Nelse and his followers wanted the church at Hollidayg Hawker and Bishop Mack and their followers were for Shake- rag. When we got to the church, or it had better be called a shack, they soon commenced arguing. In time, the argument grew hotter, and some of the niggers and about all of the white I . -a-W..

The Bishopshook his fist at Nelseg and then Nelse, flourishing a cane, with me behind him, armed with a club, started up to the pulpit., As we went up one side, Bishop Mack and Hawk- er went down on the other, and stayed down so ling as Uncle Nelse swunghis cane and told them about it. Some of the people finally got -us pacihed. 'I sure was excited. I wasn't scared any more. I ' There were other altercations besides the main one that we were fnixediup' in.

Janna' 'Examinutinn Ahhrwa qDellve1'ed before the Olympian l.li0l'l1l'y Society, Ap1'll27, 1911.3 ' Fellow Schoolmates :- Three years and eight months ago, the grade teachers pro- moted this class to the high school, sufficient in brains, and cer- tified to the effect that all had done passable work in the grades. Now we are engaged in a struggle to graduate, testihg whether this class can long endure the lessons and tasks impos- ed upon it by relentless teachers. We have just passed one of these years. We have come to celebrate the close of that year, which marks the departure from our class of those who have failed to exercise their learning power, and have flunked in order that we might have better social enjoyment and better athletics. Q - It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot celebrate, we cannot mark, we cannot honor. this cccation. The jolly fellows, passing or Hunking, who amused us here, have marked it far above our poor power togadd or detract. The class will little note, nor lobhg remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. e It is for us, who passed, rather to study harder the unfinish- ed course, which they who have Hunked so lazily discarded. 'It is rather for us to study harder on the great tasks remaining be- fore us :--that from the example of these stupid flunkers we take increased zeal in lhat work they so thoughtlessly neglected --that we here highly resolve that these 'flunkers' have not fail- ed in vain, that this class, under faithful teachers, should have a new birth of zeal, and that this High School of the taxpayers, by the teachers, for the pupils shall not perish from the 'com- munity.

Published Monthly by the School. - Paris High School NEW ENTERPRISES ' DEBATING ' AND ESSAY LEAGUE ' . Great plans for next year are being made to carry on thevvvork of the debating clubs. Their organization is to be placed on a firmer basis and the work perfected in every way possible. We have every hope of getting the Paris High School to join a number of neighboring schools and form a Debating and Essay League, l' which Will mean not one but at least two or three Inter-High School debates dur- ing the year. This will give every prgomising speaker an op- portunity to do his best in an effort worthfwhile, and each member should do his very best to win a place for himself in these contests. This will necessitate that essay writing be improved very materially cluringithh year. This phase of the work must be taken up either of the debating clubs or as an individual group. ' DRAMATIZING ' ' In regard to the lVlermaid Club the Director is planning a very beneficial line of work, which will be scattered through- out the year, giving opportunity for development in many in- teresting and prohtable phases of dramatic iWork. Each member should make it his aim to excel in this Work. ' I ol-lonus ' ' - A plan is being formulated whereby a Chorus of about 20 pupils will receive systematic and satisfactory training during the year, and those wishing to benefit by the oppor- tunity of being among the number chosen should keep it in mind this summer and make any preparation possible. This work may include an Orchestra. You will hear more about this next year. p if 4 - 1 'r vrffmf'f ' n ' ' 1,2 ': 7...::g':1g' -are N - H. ---v - ff V t ' ' ' ' ' W ' 1, ly: iz l 3 , 4 5. ,v ii ll 'el .

The ten- . nis courts will be prepared, swings will be erected, and har- izontal bars, parallel bars, merry-golround Wheel, and num- erous other pieces of apparatus to aid students in physical development at recess, noon and after school hours will be I put up for use. These are in many schools now and could ' and should be installed at Paris with little or no trouble or s eXpense to the school or community, Our school grounds are large and should be covered with jolly, wide-awake, graceful pupils at all times, engaged in various athletic sports, and playing all sorts of games. A very small num- ber of the pupils make use of the grounds now. l I 5 With this apparatus we could prepare for a first-class k meet of the high school for nextuspring, and various students could be developed for taking part in some of the events at the University on High School Day.

IIT' -146- igarin Huhlir Srhnnl In 1868-69 school was taught for forty weeks in the Fe- male Seminary, a school which had been discontinuedduring the Civil War. The following year an eight months term was taught in fheiBapnSt church. But in 1870, a new brick bund- ing was proposed and erected at a costof S10,277. The rapid growth of the town soon made this building inadequate, and in 1907 the present building was completed at a cost of 525,000 The new building is one of the best in any town of 2,000 in the state, and has greatly aided in the development of the schools. It has a beautiful auditorium which will seat four hundred peo- ple, and which affords excellent opportunity for Assembly Ex- ercises, for, Literary Society meetings, and for school entertain- ments. Laboratories, recitation rooms and class rooms are adapted to schoolwork both for the high school and for the grades. They entire building is equipped with a complete sys- tem of electric lights, electric call-bells, water supplies, lavato- ries, and hot air heat. This building is ample proof of the high educational sentiment of the town and the increasing desire of its citizens to have only the best of that which is the most es- sential thing in the development of the highest citizenship. Our public school was first graded in 1871 with a course of seven grades and four years in the high school, making the Paris High School one of the oldest in this part of Missouri. It was also one of the first to articulate with the Universityg this being done in 1890. 9 The grades now comprise eight years of study, the first four in the Primary School deal largely with learning the sym- bols by which the contents of the mind are expressed on the printed and written pages, and with cultivating powers of ob- servation and acquiring normal knowledge for use later on. The second four years of grade work arein the Grammar School which has for its object an increase of knowledge and the devel,-2. oprn-ent of power for individual thinking. mn-.nn COU RSE OF STUDY- .. ,X '?fi'RffG5?lr,!P WEfm'Q?QFn.'Q9f4'V125fi .,q - '-. :'..-, M . 1 711 - gj :.s 3 5, af-gfg3g? , 1 ' -w ., 1 - - f -:.f-., - '-'...-......-..,l.l..-.-.-..-..-...1.......L...L14 ..

I Acopy is being placed in each rural school library. Library and Laboratories The Paris High School is well equipped with a work- ing library of 800 volumes. ' These books have been chos- en with reference to specific use in the various departments and thus are valuable for reference Work and general read- ing. In IQIO-IQII a large number of reference books were added to the library for work in Physics, Chemistry, Matha ematics, English and History. This coning year more books will be purchased for additional reference and gener- al reading. The library is open for student use at all times. This last year the equipment in Physics was practically doubled, fifty feet of shelf room being filled with new ap- paratus in this subject. In the chemical labratory the same is true. A large 12-foot case was made for storing the new material. This year additional imaterial will be added to thc excellent equipment now on hand, and the 5. science teacher, a specialist in these subjects, is outlining aj course in Physics and Chemistry which will deal with the practical sides of the subjects entirely. They promise to be the most valuable in the course next school year. Most of the Math- ematical phases ot the subject will be eliminated, and a practical, descriptive, interpretative course will be given. z A Tuition 1 Non-resident,students will be charged 3152.50 per month. This tuition is to be paid in advance. iUpon presentation of the receipt for tuition a student will be admitted, provided he has met the requirements for admission given above.
