YEAR BooK RUSSEL REID TAYLOR Gananoque, Ontario, will always be famous because of the fact that it was in that town, on September 9th, 1917, that Russel R. Taylor was born. For two years this bouncing baby boy basked in the warmth of his infant innocence, annoying everyone in general, and then, taking his parents with him, he moved to Chatham. Here he received the greater part of his prim- ary education, attending the Public School and the Collegiate Institute. In January, 1932, Russ came to Paris and took up residence with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Crooks, Jane Street. This change mark- ed the beginning of two of the happiest ears f h' 1 y o is ife. ed the beginning of two cf the happiest years of his life. D . h. . . . urmg is soJourn with us, Russ proved himself to be outstanding in every sphere of school activity, especially in sports. He played on every organized school team, representing P. H. S. at the W. O. S. S. A. Track and Field Meet three times and at the Ontario Scholastic Meet twice. Special mention should be made of his ability as a basketball player, rugby star and high jumper. In connection with the Literary Society, Russ very capably filled several prominent offices, and his work on our school paper, the Quill, was always of exceptional merit. In the summer months, Russ is engaged as a director in one of the larg- est boys camps in the Dominion, which fact alone bespeaks his ability and popularity. This year Russ graduated with Senior Matriculation and ob- tained a very high standing. He is now taking a four-year course in Com- merce and Finance at the University cf Toronto from which he will gradu- ate as a Bachelor of Commerce. Suffice it to say-We'll never forget him' and we all wish him every success in the years to come. ' - D. I. S. ROGER WALTHER VEIT On August 9, 1916, Little Roger came to bri hten h hc . and Mrs. Alfred Veit. At this time the family were igesiding gt Relniogif gf-f. tario. For five years Roger led a gay, free life about the home. Then to have a little peace and quietness at home, Roger was sent off to school at Tyrrell. For seven long years he struggled with his studies, and finally passed his Entrance in 1928. For four years the pupils of Simcoe High School were obliged to have him in their midst, and it was probably with a great sigh of relief that they saw a moving van pull out for Princeton carrying the worldly goods of the Veits. After two years of hard toil at Paris, he graduated in 1934 Roger has since then, become a man of the world, and he is playing the- part of the labouring man. D. K.

'PW K 'v qs 5 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK DONALD ISAAC STEWART Donald Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Stewart, was born in Paris on December 19, 1914, an event which marked the beginning of a very promising childhood. After receiving his elementary education at Paris Public School, Donald entered Paris High School where the many parts he played in its various activities are too numerous to mention. On the staff of The Quill , Don held practically every office at one time or another, in- cluding the position of editor-in-chief. As a columnist, he showed outstand- ing ability, and his weekly commentary on P. H. S. in the Paris Star during the term 1933-34 was considered one of the highlights of that worthy news- paper. During Don's later years at High School, his contributions through the offices of secretary and president of the Literary Society were of great value to that part of the school's life. His executive ability was probably exemplified at its peak when he acted as assistant-coach of the P. H. S. rugby team during the seasons 1932 and 33. Perhaps Don's greatest achieve- ments dwell within the realms of music. He played in every school orches- tra during his High School career and also in the famous Paris Band. Incid- entally, he is now a member of one of the district's most popular dance or- chestras. When Don graduated with Senior Matriculation in nine papers, Paris High School lost one of its most valuable students, for his pleasant manner, wit and humour, and kindly disposition will be missed by both students and. staff. However, our loss is the gain of Brantford Business College where Don is now in attendance. i- R. R. T. . HENRY SMITH Henry has led a varied and active life. He was born in Lethbridge, AI- berta, on the seventh of July, 1915. Henry began his school career at Leth- bridge and carries many happy recollections of his life there. In 1925 his parents moved to Ontario and settled near Etonia. Henry continued his edu- cation at Sunnyside Public School, and in 1929 passed his Entrance. Since ambition was already budding in his breast, he once again turned westward. Princeton Continuation School was the scene of his next four years' action. He had all the requisites of a good pupil. An agile and inquiring mind, to- gether with a dispositon which made learning a pleasure, soon marked him as an exceptional student. He graduated from Princeton in 1933, leaving' an admirable record and a host of friends. The next year he entered our halls as a member of Fifth Form and continued to display his exceptional ability as a student. His year was very creditable, receiving passes in nine subjects. He is now attending the Normal School at Hamilton and we wish him the best of luck in the future. All that maid could wish or man admire. -- R. C. KATHLEEN LILLIAN SMITH Kathleen made her first appearance into Paris on the critical date of April 21, 1916. However, at the ripe age of six months, deciding that she'd seen enough of Paris for awhile, she left for England. She remained here until the end of the Great War. Returning to Paris to begin her school life, she attended Paris Central School and entered Paris High School in 1929. During her stay at Paris High School, Kathleen took part in sports and literary activities. She was also an active executive of the Quill staff. On obtaining her Junior Matriculation, she secured a position in the of- fice of the Penman Company. Truly we may say: Help for any time, Fidelity at all times Steadiness and readiness, Through all her senior year. Perfect Kathy, golden-headed Kathy, We're sorry that your graduation's here. 14 V.
