Parisian 1923 Our Tribute Of you, oh S. P. H. S., the class of ’23 will ever cherish the fondest memories. As we leave you to take our places in this world of affairs, we will never forget what you have done for us, and will always remember the part you have played in shaping our lives. For four long happy years we have labored within your walls, seeking and gaining the knowledge which you offer. Not only have we gained knowledge, but have re- ceived much of value from the social life which we have enjoyed with our fellow students and instructors. In return for your faithful efforts we have endea- vored to do our work to the best of our ability, and have attempted to contribute to your fame. In the years gone by, your loyal children have gone forth, and in the many walks of life have brought glory and honor to you. And it is our wish that the class of ’23 may never bring dishonor to your name. Oh,1 Most Honored One, may you ever go forward in your mission of building the foundations for successful lives, and may you ever uphold the torch of high ideals before your children. Now as we come to the close of our high school ca- reer it is with regret that w’e leave you, but as we go out into the world we will ever carry your banner forward, and reflect glory and honor on your name. In remembrance of you we will do all in our power to make our lives successful, and be of service to man- kind, the highest tribute that the “Gold and Blue” can pay the “Yellow and the Black”. E. R. R„ G. A. B.

Parisian Rules for These rules have to be obeyed if you value your lives. If any one disobeys these fol lowing rules, beware.........of sunken graves, dark woods and ghosts. The Rules 1. That none of the Freshmen are to at- tend the movies this week or next, especi- ally “The Romance of Tarzan.” 2. None are to be out later than 9:30 o clock. 3. That the boys are to wear a green necktie, or any article of green. 4. Must not chew gum or eat candy in fhe presence of upperclassmen without of- fering them a share. 5. Must do anything a Sophomore asks them and must not refuse......or....... beware. 6. No dates are to be allowed until after the second week. 7. Freshman girls are to wear their hair combed straight back, plaited down the back and tied with a green ribbon. Obedient On the second day of our high school life, as Freshman, as we entered room A at noon, these rules were found posted on the wall. We immediately began our career as obe- dient children. As we were afraid of sunken graves, dark woods, and ghosts, and valuing our lives above all things, thinking (he “Romance of Tarzan” having been nut on for our benefit, we straightway bought our tickets. Due to a break in the film, the show was not over until nine thirty-two. As luck would have it there were no Sophomores near, and we arrived home safe, even though we were two minutes late. Since the boys did not own green neck- ties,, they calmly disregarded this order of the upper classmen. Did they expect us to do without gum and candy? Did we do it? We chewed at least a package of gum a day and not to say any- thing of the candy. Freshmen 8. Must offer peanuts to Sophomores when they meet them. 9. Must invite at least three Sophomores to the first class meeting. 10. They must ask the advice of Sopho- mores as to the time and place of their first class meeting. 11. The Freshmen boys are to keep to the southwest corner of the school grounds and the girls to the southeast corner. 12. Must take at lest one text book home each evening. 13. Must get the work assigned to them by their teachers. 14. All of the Freshman class are to learn “Lincoln’s Gettysburg Speech” and recite it to the Sophomores that are present at the first class meeting. 15. All Freshman boys must attend the first class meeting and must wear overalls and straw hats, and the girls must wear aprons and dust caps. We are respectfully yours, KUU KLUX KLAN. Freshmen We sure fed peanuts to the Sophomores whenever we met them, for all monkeys, who are dangerous creatures, eat peanuts. Because of our generosity quite a few Sophomores attended our first class meet- ing; but did they get anything to eat? (Refer to) Sophomores. Since we were such a studious class we made it a rule to take home with us our chems. spellers. As for Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, we smart as could be, already knew it, but one noticeable thing was there were so very few Sophomores present on that memorable night, “Our First Class Meeting.” As this was a fitting occasion to wear purchases of the Saturday night before, we came out attired in many gay colors. With your knowledge of the departing class, do you think we carried out these rules ?
