Parisian History of Class of ’25 On one bright September morning we assembled in room A to begin our High School education, with Miss Nixon as the report teacher. We set out to win with looks of determination on our faces. We were ably helped by our teachers. During our first year in High School we lost one member, Donald Poorman. On September 17 we met to elect our class officers. The following were elected: President William Middleton, Secretary and Treasurer Millicent Moore. We enjoyed our first class meeting with William Middleton on October 6th. Many more enjoyable class meetings were held at the homes of our classmates. In the inter-class basket ball tournament of 21-22 we wen—the first game with the seniors but lost the second to the juniors. However we came out seeond best in the tournament. We passed through a very happy freshman year. After our summer vacation we again assembled, this time in room C with Miss Gordon as our report teacher. We re-elected William Middleton President and elected Catherine Urban as Secretary. We held our first class meeting of our sophomore year at the home of Robert Stone on September the twenty-seventh and a good time was had by all. We passed through an uneventful sophomore year and ended with the following members: Anna Urban, Catherine Urban, Susan Wiant, Evelyn Apple, Loudean Heck, Millicent Moore, Mabel Hamilton, Maurine Jenkins, Ray Stradling, Albert Apple, Robert Stone, William Middleton, Russel Johnson, Ralph Johnson, Courtland Bull, Dale Mowen, Clyde Smith, Waldo McClimans and Francis McDonough.

 Parisian 1923 Caesar and Antony, Up-to-Date Antony—Well, Caesar, methinks we be prepared to wend our way to the Casino. You speak at 7:30, you know, and what with dodging trolley cars, Dodge Bros., and other traffic it will require quite a while to get the fifteen miles there. Caesar—All right, Antonio, is the flivver ready? Antony—No, my lord; I will crank it now. (Return Antony.) Caesar—Well, Antonio, how goes the Henry? Antony—It goeth not. We have two flat tires; radiator frozen and bursted; out of gas and no coal-oil handy; carburetor went bad; three spark-plugs no good; the— Caesar—Abraham Washington! What shall we do, Antonio? Antony—I have it, Caesar. We will phone to the Casino we cannot come. Caesar—But the phone phoneth not. Mr. Bell is fixing it now. Antony—Then we shall telegraph them on the wireless. Caesar—But the wireless wii'eth not. The wires are down five miles out. Alas, Antonio! My last great oration is thus to be a failure. May the thunderbolts of Jupiter descend upon Henry Ford, Mr. Bell and all the rest of those Americans. I am going to tell Chris not to cross the ocean in 1492 and find those Americans again. No Ford, no phone, no telegraph, the 5:15 gone, plumber failed to repair the airplane, no— Antony—I have it, Caesar. We will go down to the Majestic Movie Theatre and send your speech by radio. Caesar—Ah, Antonio, you are a bright man. I will remember this. Hereafter you shall have the privilege of embracing my pet poodle twice each noon. And, moreover, tomorrow, which is a holiday in Rome and St. Paris High School, being February 22, I will send to Sears, Roebuck Co. Chicago, U. S. A., and get a radio outfit. Naaman Apple. INTER-CLASS TOURNAMENT 1922-1923 A lot of interest was displayed this year in the interclass tournament. The first game of the preliminaries was played by the Freshmen and Sophomores. The Freshmen were victorious. The second game was between the Juniors and Seniors. The Seniors won after a hard-fought battle. This left the Freshmen and Seniors to scrap it out for the cham- pionship. The Freshmen went wild in this game and almost gave the Seniors their first licking in four years. But they weren’t strong enough to put it over on the Seniors, who won by a score of 32-19. This gave the championship to the Seniors who also won out in 1921-22.
