H Ed CO Outstanding Facts Out of the thirty pupils in the first grade, eleven are graduating. Esther Sprague and Joseph Kizer have been neither absent nor tardy during the four years of high school. On May 4, 1928, our class entertained the high school to the annual reception. The Seniors invited the high school to a Hallowe’en party, October 26, 1928. A grave yard was fixed up in the lower hall where ghosts and all sorts of weird things abounded. The last semester of our Junior year we-had charge of the high school news for the St. Paris News-Dispatch. The following were editors: Editor-in-chief - Joseph Kizer General News Ed. - Evelyn Allton Society Editor - Martha Prince Alumni Editor - Jeanette Smith Joke Editor - Howard Sturgeon Sports Editor - Robert Hanback New officers were elected at the beginning of the Senior year. They are: Editor-in-chief - Robert Hanback Gen. News Ed. Josephine Stockton Society Editor - Jeanette Smith Sports Editor - Robert Goode Grade News Editor - Ethel Boyd Special Feature - Martha Prince At the beginning of a new semester, the Junior class took charge of the paper. The Senior class is publishing the first annual since '23. Last year the Public Speaking class composed of Juniors gave a play entitled, “The Whole Town’s Talking,” during the month of January. Also that year we en- tered the Prince of Peace Declamation Contest. Esther Sprague won first place; Rob- ert Hanback, second; Jeanette Smith, third. Trip To Springfield We Seniors on January the tenth, journeyed to the Stanton Studio at Springfield to have our pictures taken. The class went in three machines furnished by our mem- bers. It was a rather dreary day but the faces of our bunch contradicted the weath- erman. After leaving the studio we were left to our own devices. A few of us took advantage of this opportunity by going shopping, while others attended a movie. Lat- er in the evening we all went home having spent a very enjoyable day. Standard Ring For many years the St. Paris high school has felt the need of a standard ring whereby all petty quarrels, fights and un pleasantness usually associated with choos- ing a class ring will have been eliminated. A four-year contract has been entered into with Herff-Jones company, which will supply the Seniors each year with the necessary number of rings. A committee of two from each class in high school was selected, consisting of the class president and one representative girl. The decisive vote rested upon them and they chose the standard ring. Our contract will expire at the end of four years and we hope that the classes coming into high school will appreciate the necessity and wisdom of retaining this standard ring. 22
