Toast to the Faculty As uphill we stumbled the rocky way To learning and knowledge and lore, And, hesitant, lifted our hands to knock Upon Opportunityis door. XVho guided our steps in the darkest night, And laughed little fears into shame? XVho cheered those of us who had fallen behind, XVho started our climb to a name? XVho has fashioned oui' lives with a sculptor's touch To live for the best and the most? Our faculty, bless them, and to them let's drink A rousing good P. H. S. toast. Us Page Eighteen

Creed of en Senior I an1 glad I am a member of the 1937 Class of Paris High School. I 21111 proud of you, MY school. I feel that I am a better person for the associations I have made here. My heart beats a little faster at tl1e sight of the blue and white. My eyes shine a little lgrighter at the memory of four happy years. In every corner of every room some souvenir lurks of remembered friends, a fav- orite teacher, a lesson learned, or perhaps, forgotten. I see in you, the fire of ambition, friendship. possibility. I see my goal ahead because you are helping me to build a song from the every- day words of my life. I believe in the principles you have laid for me. I find joy i11 seek- ing worlds to conquer because you have planted in my soul, desire to find my place in life. Because of all the friends you have given me, I find my heart has grown in stature. Because of knowledge gained, 111y mind has achieved new heights. I respeect my teachers for their leadership and learning. I love them for the individual gifts which they have imparted to my character. I hold apart the memory of my school life. I keep it for lily own, to shake away the dust in years in come and view it once again, well-worn but never out-moded, dim and faded, but never forgotten. You, 1ny school have given me all this. You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. Page Twenty
