Parisian 1923 History of ’23 in the Primary Grades One bright September morn, in the year of 1911, the old school bell rang out to the children of St. Paris and thirty-nine littb tots answered its summons for the first time. Under the guidance of Miss Glenn Colvin, present high school teacher, we reached the first rung of the ladder of knowledge; and this work was continued by Miss Drury, in the second grade. Before this year was completed Miss Drui'y re- signed, and we graduated to the brick build- ing, which gave us a feeling of great supe- riority. Here Miss Jessie Hamsher did all in her power to further our education. A year passed and we found ourselves still further along the path of knowledge. It was this year that the now dignified President of the Senior Class received a lickin’ from his teacher, Miss Klapp, for sticking a classmate with a hatpin. Will you ever forget those May baskets we had for our teachers and the treats we received in return? Miss Tillie Kizer led us successfully through the fifth grade. Thus far we had sailed peacefully along, receiving very little attention from the up- per grades and high school, but we suddenly came into the limelight. The first part of the sixth year was passed happily with Miss Nell Lash as our teacher, who left us at the end of the first semester. The vacancy was filled by Mrs. Hendricks, from the girls’ reformatory at Delaware. Evidently she thought she was still teach- ing in a reform school, (or pupils that should be in one). Although some of the re- forms she advocated might have been of some value, we one and all rose in a mighty revolt against them. Mrs. Hendricks soon presented her resignation. (Is it any won- der?) Miss McBeth ventured to finish the year with the little terrors. Probably the most delightful year in our grammar school life was that spent in the little red school-house north of town, under the instruction of Mr. Carey Barger. Re- member how we burnt rubber and parched corn on the stove, also the time Ruth Taylor Johnson hid the paddle? When the mice got too lively, some of the courageus young gentlemen would go on the warpath, fur- nishing much excitement. The last but not least was the eighth year; at this stage we had learned and were practicing the tricks all too familiar to teachers. Most of use spent part of our time in the hall, where our teacher, Miss Jessie Nixon, becoming desperate sent us. We had now reached the end of our gram- mar school career. As the years have passed by many pupils had left us, and many had joined our ranks. Thus of those who were to enter high school there were only eight who had started their school life together. This number has dwindled to three who will graduate this year. These are Mildred Ginn, Genevieve Brown, and Harold Shank. As finis was written to our grade career, the old school building was abandoned, giv- ing way to the fine new one, in which we were to pass our high school life.
