Parisian The St. Paris High School Orchestra Pianist—Irene Roberts Drums- Violins Saxophones During the four years spent in S. P. H. S., the Class of 1923 has always supported any activ- ity which was for the best in High School life, and has sponsored many new plans. At the beginning of our Senior year the idea came to us that a musical organization would bring new honors to old S. P. H. S. Something must be done to cheer our lower classmen who were already sinking into the depths of despair, as the time drew nearer for us to leave them. So with these thoughts iri mind, five of the Seniors—Mildred Mitchell, Irene Rob- erts, Thelma Emrick, Ruth Clemmons, and Theo- dore Harter, formed an orchestra. They began practicing under the able direc- tion of Miss Glenn Colvin. How they cheered the rest of us onward, in the struggle with diffi- —Theodore Harter i Thelma Emrick Donna Mclnturff I Ruth Clemmons Mildred Mitchell I Anna Urban cult lessons, as the strains of beautiful music reached us from the auditorium. They prac- ticed long and faithfully and were soon prepared for their first appearance, which was the Hallow- e’en party. They have always been willing to play for any occasion, and have played for all of the school entertainments this year. Two new members of the orchestra, Anna Ur- ban and Donna Mclnturff, from the lower classes joined during the year. The students and patrons of the school are justly proud of this orchestra. Few schools the size of ours can boast of such a splendid organ- ization. We greatly appreciate the work done by the members of the orchestra this year. —E. R. R.

The Hywttat Club On July 5, 1921, eight of the Sopho- more and Junior girls met and held a mysterious conference, the doings of which were entirely unknown to the outer world. The result of this meeting was the Hywttat club, which letters mean—well, what do you thing they mean? The biggest event in our history was the initiation of Ruby and Eleanor. They were commanded to go to the old north grave yard, where they were met by blood curdling ghosts. They were con- ducted to the club room and here they were introduced into the mysterious realms of the Hywttats. Will we ever forget those hikes, and the times we walked to Wiant’s woods and cooked our breakfasts at daylight? Oh, those never-to-be-forgotten potluck suppers, made especially enjoyable by Jo’s especial brand of pickles! In the fall of this year, two new mem- bers were added to our club—Thelma Emrick and Norma McBeth—making us twelve in number. Although part of the members have graduated this year, we hope that the Hywttat club will be continued. The Hallowe’en Party The Ciass of ’23 entertained the other three classes with a hallowe’en party in the school gymnasium on Friday night, Octo- ber 18. An air suitable to the season was given the room by a color scheme of yellow and black. Corn shocks, pumpkins, and bitter- sweet did the rest. A grand march opened the evening’s en- tertainment, at the close of which the prizes were awarded to Miss Gordon, as the best dressed, and Laudean Heck as the most comical dressed. A Chamber of Horrors, A Ghost Wed- ding, Ghost Stories, and a fortune teller were features of the evening. Music was furnished by the Senior Orchestra. Refreshments of pumpkin pie, cider and apples were served.
