PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK THE MONDAY 12.00 , 1 Eiiailium 1 0- 22 0 51.00 to 1928 Single Copy 10c. Ogrlidulilltess SATURDAY, APRIL 20th, 1953 one Alter Thirty Years of Fighting a Woman Enters the Canadian Senate Special by Kathleen Blackburn to Monday Evening Post-Women are in their heyday of Power and privilege. Grim determination on the part of the women of Canada has succeeded in breaking down the barriers of cus- tom and prejudice. Women through- out Canada, whether doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs, Conservatives or Liberals will delight in victory. What happiness they will enjoy! To Miss Hazel Laurie falls the unique honour of representing Cana- dian women in that assemblage of supposedly sage men. Paris may well be proud of the brilliant political career of this talented lady. Having the fitting background of ten years in the Ontario Government, Miss Laurie was the one to Crash the gate on Government Hill in spite of the con- tinued and persistent notices such as A woman is not a person and must be kept out. The B. N. A. Act, the Supreme Court decision-all have been overcome and a woman reigns supreme in the Senate chamber. To the life of Ottawa, Miss Laurie brings a lively enthusiasm and un- bounded energy. Her zest for social life and her delight in meeting the senators amaze the older hostesses of Ottawa. In spite of the pessimistic predic- tions that the world would decline when women took public offices and superseded the men in business and in every walk of life, the contrary seems to be coming true as the last 25 years show. Ed. note-iOld 5th of 1928 will join heartily with me, I am sure, and with this whole city in congratulating Miss Hazel Lauriej. VVar Again Between Two Eastern States Special-The Zulu warriors of Cen- tral Africa have dispatched a large fleet of submarines there at once. We understood that they intend to attack the large cocoanut plantations in order to force the inhabitants into subjection. The Zulus have a highly trained army which includes several battalions of trained monkeys to as- sist in the operations.-The editor wishes both sides the utmost success. Old Hat Worn by Napoleon Brings 315,000 at Auction. Paris, April 19, 1953-One of Na- poleon's hats, a well-worn specimen, has been sold at auction for 315,000 to Miss Inez Newell, when home on furlough. The only explanation that can be given by friends for Miss Newell having bought the hat, is that in her younger days she took Modern history while at P. H. S. She always liked history and wished a tangible reminder of those old days and those old associations tall grads. of '28 will understand her expendi- ture of so large a sum for so small an article.J

PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK A WINTER EVENING The bright and shining sun does darker grow In shades of lavenders and pinks The white and dazzling fields of drifted snow Seem soft and dim as the sun sinks. The fluHy clouds which all the day were flown, By the cold wind, now seem to slip To catch the rose petals which the sun has strown And each turn to a fairy ship. With small pink sails and frothing waves below Bound for a sweet, enchanted isle, Yonder where castles loom and flowers grow As the sun catches a rosy smile. On large and massive banks of darker clouds The pine that when the sun was bright I.Vas green, becomes deep black and slowly nods As the winds foretell the approach of night. Now lower sinks the sun and lower still And dimmer grow the objects near Till I can scarcely see the old windmill And yet I feel no trace of fear. For when the distant mountains hide from sight That big and wondrous setting orb. The stars come out and fondly greet the night And night does the daylight absorb. And soon the moon comes rising in the sky And sheds its mellow light o'er all, The dreamy hills beneath the moonbeams lie And silent slumbers softly fall. And then the world is wrapped in happy sleep VVinds are quiet, noises cease, The twinkling stars their silent watches keep And the still earth is ruled by peace. Isabel Bull -T Poetess Spring Tei n OUR SCHOOL LITERARY POEM Our High School's nobly situated So that it gives command Of all the surrounding country Around the River Grand. W6,1'Q proud of our fair school And of our pupils, too, They'll guard and keep its honour bright, And work, and dare, and do. Remember those who once were here, But now their spirit's fled, For overseas in sunny France, They fought for us, and bled. In memory of all our boys Who sleep in Flanders fields W'e'll hold the burning torch on high And wield it through the years. So within these halls of learning We are meeting day by day, As friends and comrades, playing What the sportsman calls fair play. VVe have some clever orators Who for our school win fame, And many a victory in debates Have our contestants claimed. In athletics, too, we're doing iine, But 'tis not for the glory of fame But the spirit of school which calls us all, To play, play up, and play the game. Jean E Reid Poetess Fall Teim 22
