Before this eighth Year Book is published, the tenth graduating class will have received their diplomas and formally bidden farewell to P.H.S. Nearly all of these have Honour Matriculation which was the equivalent of the lirst year of university work ten years ago. Where are the ten groups who have proudly received their graduation diplomas ? As business men, dentists, doctors, engineers, nurses, teachers, home-makers, many have taken their assured places in Canadian life. Others are attending university, normal school or other educational insti- tutions in preparatidnfor professional or business life. Owing to difficult times in which they graduated, some have not obtained what they consider suitable positions, and are still hoping for something better. We have re- joiced at the successes of these graduates, we have regretted their tempor- ary reverses. Frequently many of these loyal graduates write letters of appreciation or pay us friendly visits in our home. We deeply appreciate these evidences of the continued friendship of our former students. What has become of the greater number who left our school without graduation diplomas ? Many of these will be most successful because they possess determination and constancy of purpose. Others will not be as successful, yet the great majority, let us hope, nearly all, will have receiv- ed a training at our school which will enrich their lives and increase their happiness. When the lessons are forgotten, the training will remain. When they can no longer recall the names of their comrades, these ex- students will have retained the benefits gained through the social inter- course on playground, in the literary society or other extra-curricular ac- tivities of the school. If all these students of this decade retain the friend- ly spirit manifested in school and their ideals of honour and fair play, their years at P.H.S. will not have been wasted though all their lessons are forgotten. Perhaps the outstanding feature of advanced education of this decade is the greatly increased attendance at secondary schools. In 1925, the average attendance at our school was about one hundred and fifty, whereas last year, it was slightly over two hundred and fifty. This increase of one hundred students has increased both the labour and difficulties of teaching and placed a greatly added nervous strain on the teachers. It would have been quite impossible to do satisfactory work under these difficult condi- tions without the wonderful co-operation of the students and especially of the officers of the Literary Society and the Athletic Associations. Perhaps all our students in their later years will claim that these Year Books are the greatest single achievement of their school days. They will boast that their book is quite different from those of other schools. They will read again and again the names of the winners of the prizes and scholarships and will remember with gratitude the generosity of the don- ors. The next ten years will see many changes in education. The Junior Matriculation certificate will probably disappear and the graduation di- ploma take its place. The emphasis will be more on the so-called practi- cal subjects. Through all these coming changes, this high school will suc- ceed as long as the teachers have the sympathetic co-operation of the stu- dents and the public. C. Ward Butcher. THE STAFF Gertrude M.

PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 3 Message from the Board of Education Another year has passed with its responsibilities and pleasures, and again a Year Book goes out to tell the public of the activities of Paris High School during this past year. As we review the past. we do so with considerable satisfaction, for we have seen many pass through the portals for the last time as students and take their places in business ing the depression, many of our employment and wisely devoted and thus to better fit themselves and in schools of higher education. Dur- boys and girls found themselves without their time to increasing their knowledge for the day when a position would be forthcoming. We are thankful to say that the signs, if they can be read aright, lead us to believe that the terrible depression is passing and that many of our young people are finding work more congenial to them. During my long term of office as a member of the Paris Board of Edu- cation many changes have taken place. Our old high school, where so many were prepared for the battle of life by the men and women of ster- ling character who taught there, has passed, and for twelve years our scholars have turned their faces to the north side of the town where our splendidly equipped new school stands. At the time it was built, plenty of room was providedg but at the present time it bare- ly accommodates all the students, which fact alone makes teaching most difficult. However, under our present fine teaching staff, the boys and girls are receiving a training in self-discipline and leadership which will stand them in good stead in the future. On behalf of the Board, I wish to express our sincere thanks for the co-operation of the staff and all those who have helped to make for success. I cannot close this message without expressing my personal thanks to the members of the Board of Education. During almost a quarter of a century on the Board, I have been associated with many different mem- bers, all of whom gave generously of their time and effort to the better- ment of education in this community. Though I am an appointed member of the Board and live in the country, the members have elected me chair- man for the last three years. To me, this is definite evidence of the desire of the people of the town to co-operate with the country people in the in- terests of education, and is a token of the wider sympathies of the present generation which realizes that town and country are inter-dependent.

As a newcomer to your school only last year, it is indeed a signal honour which you have conferred upon me. But to be the first editor who does not live in Paris or its immediate vicinity is a two fold honour of which I feel I am totally unworthy. During the short time I have attended P.H.S., it has attained an im- portant position in my life. Here it is that I have made friendships which I am proud to acknowledge and shall forever treasure. In the years that are to come I may forget many of your names, yet the remembrance of the few happy years I spent at P.H.S. shall always be vividly inscribed in my memory. 1, I must confess that it was not without a few misgivings that I first en- tered these now so familiar halls. Everyone feels somewhat strange and out of place when entering an altogether new sphere and I was no excep- tion to the rule. But any doubts I may have had were soon dispelled by friendly words and smiles with which I was welcomed. The pupils of Paris High School saw me, not as a stranger, but as a fellow student with whom they would be constantly associated during the school year. That first acquaintance of only a year ago has ripened into a respect and friend- ship for Paris High School which I hold very dear. P. H. S. I salute you! This edition of our Year Book in certain respects differs radically from those of previous years. Being at a loss as to ways and means to make this edition a little different from those of former years, we finally decided to concentrate cn humour. We fully realize that it is a somewhat perilous step, inasmuch as we must appeal to a widely diversified sense of humour. Nevertheless We have gone ahead as originally planned. The various com- mittees have worked untiringly to make the Year Book what it is. We hope you like it, for it is you, the students of P.H.S. who are our real cri- tics. It is your book and on you, in a large measure, depends its success or failure. And so we give you The P. H. S. Year Book for 1935. Glenn H. Taylor, Editor-in-Chief.

O. Apps of Paris. After due consideration, this new arrival was named Ernest James Apps. Ernie attended Central Public School until he passed his Entrance in 1929. In the fall of the same year, he entered P.H.S. for the first time. During his sojourn at P.H.S., Ernie took a very prominent part in the various school activities. Being a brother of the one and only Sylvanus Apps, it was only natural that he, too, should be interested in athletics. He took part in all the Field Days and was Vice-President of the Boys' Ath- letic Association from 1930 to 1932. Ernie was Form Reporter of The Quill during the spring term of 1934. During the same year he was Wit and Humour Editor for The Quill and Marshall of the Literary Society. Ernie is now taking a course in Chemical Engineering at the Univer- sity of Toronto. G.H.T. ROBERT D. A. COWAN Robert D. A. Cowan, son of Mr. and Mrs.. C. P. Cowan, Hrst saw the light of day on May 21st, 1916, on his father's farm near the village of Princeton, and what a bright, happy day that must have been in that home. During the first Hve years of his life this stirring little lad no doubt kept his parents busy, but undoubtedly they saw in him great possibilities. When at the early age of five Bob began to attend school in Princeton, his parents were not disappointed in his abilities as a student, for his public- school days were crowned with success. He passed his Entrance in 1928, and graduated from Princeton School with his Junior Matriculation in 1933. Wanting to develop his intellect still furthur, Bob decided to attend the Paris High School. While at Paris he held several prominent positions, being treasurer of the Boys' Athletic Society and prophet for the Literary Society, showing his interest in sports and his popularity among the scho- lars. Bob is a staunch supporter of the Conservative Party, and would al- ways be found at the noon hour deep in an argument over political ques- tions. There are real possibilities that he may some day be one of Cana- da's greatest statesmen. Bob received his Senior Matriculation after two years in Upper School and we all wish him good luck for the rest of his career. 6 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK JEAN ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM Ten little rosy fingers and ten little pink toes were probably what you noticed first about Jean Elizabeth Cunningham when you saw her in the days following her very first birthday on May 19, 1917. She was-and is -the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Cunningham, of Paris. Not liking to destroy an ancient custom, Jean started to Central School in Paris at the age of six, and promptly proceeded to gain knowledge. This she did until 1930, when, armed with her Entrance Certificate, she started to High School with the rest of us '35 graduates. There, Jean completed her full Junior Matriculation and obtained her standing in certain Honour Matriculation subjects. And now, after secur- ing a position with Penmans Co., she has left P.H.S. to make her own way in the world. We remember Jean, endearingly known to us as Cunny , as much for he music that those ten little rosy fingers of hers can produce as for any of her other attributes. Go on, my schoolmate, and make your talents count. For she who does in this old world her best Though it be poor, surpasses all the rest? L. M. W. FREDERICK LEWIS GRIGG Fred Grigg made his first, and possibly one of his earliest, appearances at 6.15 a.m. on February 18, 1917, at Paris. At the age of six he entered the South Ward School and from there advanced to Central School. In 1930 he was successful in passing the En- trance Examinations, and soon thereafter was to be seen joyfully hurrying to Paris High School to be initiated into the complex mysteries of Algebra, Latin and various other joys of academic life. In five years Fred secured his Junior Matriculation and Upper School Composition. He is now studying to be a druggist under Mr. George Al- derson, a graduate of Pharmacy College, Toronto. Fred is a jolly friendly character who was well known and well liked throughout the school. His hobbies are art and music. His ambition is to be a doctor, and we hope his present studies may be but a step toward the fulfillment of his hopes. A.R.M. NELLIE MAY HAINES Nellie made her first appearance on earth on April 30th, 1917. She Was born in the white house which stands sentinel over Haines' hill just' south of Drumbo. Here she has lived the whole eighteen years of her life. She entered Drumbo Public School at the age of six, passing her En- trance when she was thirteen. Her longing desire to be a teacher necessi- tated the continuance of her studies at Continuation School where she Won quite a reputation as a student. In 1934 she went to Paris, obtaining in one year Senior Matriculation in nine papers regardless of the retarding effects of the Overland Limited. At present Nellie is attending Stratford Normal School. Let us all join in wishing her every success in her chosen profession. J .C.M. X wi ll 'V 1 1, 1 7 9 ARIS HIGH scHooL YEAR BooK 7 X V1 1 7 3 ETHEL JOHNSTON HENDERSON Ethel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Henderson, was born in Bur- ford on September 26, 1915. Two years later the family moved to Paris, and thus Ethel was introduced to our fair community. When Ethel was seven, she was adopted by Miss A. E. Arthur, and has from that time made her home at the Nurses' Residence of the Paris Willett Hospital. Ethel re- ceived her first scholastic training at Paris Public School. Faithful atten- dance and diligent study had their reward, for in 1929 she received her Entrance Certificate and enrolled at Paris High School. During the years spent behind its portals, Ethel entered with great enthusiasm into school life. On more than one occasion she represented her Form on the Staff of the Quill and took part in Literary programs. Ethel received her Graduation Diploma in 1935. At present she is stu- dying practical dietetics at the Willett Hospital and hopes in the future to enter the nursing profession. May we take this opportunity of wishing her the greatest success in her chosen profession! I. K. H. ISABEL KATHLEEN HUNT Isabel Kathleen Hunt, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Hunt, was born April 27, 1917, on Walnut Street, Paris. At the age of six, Isabel started to Queen's Ward School, and, in 1928, passed her Entrance with honours. The next fall, Isabel enrolled at Paris High School. During her stay there, she was an active member of the Literary Society, and during the fall term of 1934 she was the high school correspondent for the Brantford Expositor. In 1935, she entered deeper into school activities by becoming assis- tant-editor of the Quill. During the same year she was an active member on the Year Book Committee. This year, having obtained her Senior Matriculation, Isabel has joined the staff of the Brantford Expositor, intent on a journalistic career. We wish her the best of luck in her chosen profession. E. J. H. JESSE NOEL JASPER March, 1915, brought a new member to the family of Mr. and Mrs. William Jasper-a son, Jesse. For several years after that twenty-eighth day of March, Jesse lived near Kitchen's School, east of Paris, Then, when he was seven years old his parents moved west of Paris. Shortly afterwards when Jesse took his first steps along the paths of knowledge at the Stone School, a new period of his life had begun. In 1929 his public school days ended, and he entered Paris High School. During his six years there, Jesse was keenly interested in sports, and during his final year was a member of the senior boys' besketball team. C.A.S. I 8 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK HAROLD ALEXANDER KENNEDY Harold was born on June 29th, 1914, at the family homestead, situat- ed on the fifth concession of Dumfries Township, County of Brant, where :he lived for six years before he took the notion that he wanted to go to school. So, he started his educational career at the White School which was not far from his home. However, after spending one year and a half at that school, he came with his family to Richwood and there completed his ele- mentary education when he passed his Entrance in 1928. In the same year Harold began his secondary school work at Paris High School and completed it last June. While at Paris, Harold became one of the most popular members, not only of his own class, but of the whole school, on account of his ever-gen- erous and obliging nature. During his term here, he took an active part in the Literary and Ath- letic societies and was ever willing to serve them in every possible way. Now Harold is in Belleville attending Albert College, where We trust that he will be just as successful as he was in Paris, and we wish him the very best of luck in the future. J. A. T. l-IARLAND RICHARD KEMPTHORNE Dec. 13th, 1916, is a very important date, at least as far as Harland Kempthorne is concerned, for it was on this eventful day that he came into this Ucrueli' world. After much consultation, Mr. and Mrs. R. Kempthorne named the new arrival Harland. For five years this little cherub made life far from mon- otonous at the Kempthorne homestead. Finally at the tender age of six, Harland, having decided he needed an education, started to Central Public School. ' In 1929 he transferred his attention to P.H.S. While among us Har- land distinguished himself through the marked ability he displayed in his studies. In his graduation year he won the scholarship in Mathematics donated by Mr. C. H. Baird. He also was an excellent hockey player, as his teammates of the Paris Juniors will testify. Harland is now taking the Engineering course at Queen's. Your friends at P.H.S. wish you best of luck in the future. G.H.T. ALFRED ALEXANDER McLAREN From the beginning, Alex's life has been auspicious. He was born on July 11th in the year 1916, at his farm home near Drurnbo. For five long years he thrived upon his native heath when finally it was decided that he should start to school in the year 1922. Alex's school life was very successful. He proved to be an assiduous worker and in 1929, passed his High School Entrance examinations with honours. He continued his school life at Drumbo Continuation School un- til his graduation from there in 1933. The next two years he spent at Paris High School where he was one of our most valued students and from whence he is now graduating. Alex has chosen to become a farmer and we all wish him the greatest success. R. D. A. C. ,,.,..,........-.-.---- A . , an .av V M n 4 ggi.. - Q 2 .... A 1 ' 5. 'Hyun E.

He attended Central School where in 1929 he passed his Entrance with so high a per- centage that he received the First Prize awarded by the Board of Educa- tion. In High School, Adam acquitted himself nobly. On his Junior Ma- triculation examinations, he received ten flrsts. While in Middle School, he also won the Legion Essay Contest. In Upper School, Adam received ten firsts and two seconds. Surely a record to be proud of! As a fitting conclusion to his life at P. H. S., Adam is Valedictorian of the 1935 graduating class. Although he plays the cornet in the Paris Band, his chief interests lie in the study of Chemistry, amateur radio and aviation. Just now, Adam is doubtful as to continuing his studies in college. If he decided to seek further knowledge, we know that he will not be far from the top. Your friends of P. H. S. wish you every success in your fu- ture endeavours, Adam. F. L. G. JEANETTE CLARKE MURRAY On April 14, 1916, Jeanette Murray visited the home of her parents and then decided to stay. They were then living in Bronte, Ontario. La- ter they moved to Hamilton, and from there to Avonton. At the age of four, she persuaded her mother and father to move to Drumbo, where she managed the General Store for five months. At the end of that time, she gave over her duties to her father and took up the work of obtaining her education in Drumbo School. At twelve years of age, she passed her Entrance, and then continued her studies in Drumbo Continuation School until she received her Junior Matriculation in 1933. For the next two years she went to Paris High School, and in 1935 obtained her Senior Matriculation. This year Jeanette is attending Stratford Normal School. We all wish her the greatest success. N. M. H. RICHARD ELLIOTT MURRAY Richard E. Murray, as his fond parents named their eldest son, was born in Paris on Aug. 29th, 1915. Dick managed affairs at the Murray residence for a few years but finally resigned this important position in order to pursue a scholastic career. And so for six years Dick was a pupil of Central Public School. Dick passed his Entrance in 1928 and in the fall of the same year en- tered P.H.S. After seven years Dick felt that he would learn more if he had a change of atmosphere, and so he graduated. Then onward to Queents University, where he is now engaged in mas- tering a course in Mining Engineering. Your P.H.S. friends wish you the best of luck, Dick. , G.H.T. 10 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK I q EDGAR JAMES NASH April 10, 1917-yes that was the fateful date when this world was Hrst introduced to that squirming bunch of masculinity known to us all as Edgar James. The town of Dundas boasts of being the first to welcome him. When still a wee C??J toddling youngster he suggested to his family that maybe Paris would be a better place to live in. No sooner suggested than done. Our hero grew in mind CU and in stature CMark there is no question mark after the latter wordb. He entered Paris Public School and graduated with flying colours Cnot only auburnl in 1930. Agog with excitement he entered the portals of mighty P.H.S. in September 1930 and within a very short time he be- came one of the foremost citizens of our Institution of Education. From the very Hrst he seems to have been imbibed with the gift of gab Cpardon my colloquial expressionjg not only was he gifted but he made good use of his gift. In Jan., 1932, he won the Junior Boys' Ora- torical Contest and he was again victorious in the Junior Districts Contests held in February. E, J f' took a leading part in the social life of the school. Whenever there was a dance or party HE. J . was foremost in its organization and completion. Music was one of his greatest weaknesses. If you were to visit the chez lui you were sure to hear strains of some of the great rnaster's works. On the clarinet he was what might virtually be called a virtuoso tthank goodness these are few and far betweenj. He was an member of the school orchestra and was always a great exponent of music, classical- or even Jazz. Behold his literary abilities. He was the editor of The Quill for the fall term, 1934. During his regime as editor the quality of the paper in- creased. In Edgar we have a second Charles Laughton. He was one of the leading characters in the Commencement play of 1934. He charmed his audience to the fullest but he had much difficulty in convincing the movie promoters from Hollywood that he was not yet ready to enter fllmland. Edgar graduated last summer and is now attending the Hamilton Nor- mal School and intends in the near future to help the younger generation learn the Three R's . All his friends fthat means everyone he metj Wish him all the luck possible in his chosen profession. D.A.M. CRAIG ALEXANDER SOWDEN Craig, son of' Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Sowden, was born on December 28, 1910. The first sur years of his career were spent at his home on the Paris-Brantford Highway. And then school days came! Craig's preliminary education consisted of eight years at Moyle's. 51ultigg0School success was crowned by his enrollment at Paris High School Dllflllg his five years among us Craig studied diligently and earned the respect of his teachers and form pals. In his spare moments he could often be seen working over some mathematical problem. He was always ready to help anyone with a diFficulty . His modesty and quiet pleasant disposition made him the friend of all. ' Craig is now farming with his father. We hope that he will remember the old form friends and join us in all our re-unions. We all wish him success and happiness. J .N.J . PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 11 JACK ALEXANDER TAYLOR Jack Alexander Taylor was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on April 18th, 1915. He came with his parents in 1918 to live in Richwood. Here he re- ceived his public school education. In 1928 he entered Paris High School, where he took the general academic course, and completed his Junior Ma- triculation and Upper School. He was always active in the various school organizations. Jack also played a prominent part in the school's Athletics. He was generally proficient, and, in 1930, won the Intermediate champion- ship. This was followed in 1932 by his capturing the Senior championship. He played an important role on the basketball teams, in which he always played the game and the gentleman. Jack always possessed that faculty of good fellowship, and I am sure will be generally missed around the halls of P.H.S. His plans for the future are rather indefinite as yetg but he is at pre- sent working in Hamilton. May the best of everything be yours, Jack! H. A. K. HELEN IVIARY WILKIN Helen Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. Wilkin, was born in Paris on August 22, 1916. Even while attending Paris Public School Helen gave promise of a brilliant future, for she received Honour Standing when she passed her Entrance, and carried off the Second Prize given for History. Helen entered High School in 1930 and passed through the var- ious forms with flying colours. In Fourth Form her wonderful essay writ- ten for the Legion Contest on the subject, Canada's Contribution to the Allied Cause in the Great War won the prize for the Senior Classes. Hel- en took an active part in the school's athletic, social, and literary life. She held positions on the Executive of the Literary Society, on the Staff of the Quill, on the Girls' basket ball team, and was form representative for the Athletic Association. In the play My Lord in Livery , she very cleverly portrayed the role of Laura, presented at the 1934 Commencement. When Helen graduated with complete Junior and Senior Matriculation in seven subjects, the School lost one of its most brilliant and popular students. In September she entered Toronto General Hospital. Her class-mates wish her every possible success in the future. I. K. H. LAURA MARGARET WILKIN On September 24, 1917, the stork paid a second visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. G. Wilkin. After many consultations, the newcomer was named Laura. Laura's first knowledge of school life was gained at Keg Lane School, where she spent a few months. She moved with her family to Paris and enrolled in the Paris Public School. She passed her Entrance in 1930, win- ning the Second Penman Scholarship. The next five years of her school life were spent within the portals of Paris High School. Here her natural ability along Literary and Athletic lines rapidly developed. In 1933 she was Intermediate Girls' champion on Field Day. But her greatest achievements were in the Literary field. In 1933 she captured the Mrs. Spooner prize for the best poem of the year. She held many positions in the Literary Society, and was elected Pre- sident for the Spring term of 1935. She was also Editor-in-chief of last year's Year Book. In 1935 she completed her Junior Matriculation and nine Honour Matriculation papers. She obtained the highest marks in La- tin and French and won the Latin Scholarship donated by Dr. G. W. Bell and the French Scholarship donated by the late Mr. George E. Taylor. Laura is now attending University of Toronto, taking an Arts Course, where we wish her the best of luck in her chosen profession. J. E.

Shadowed by many a careless curl. Of unconfined and flowing hair. Verna, the youngest daughter of Mr. and the late Mrs. Sturgess Bas- sett, was born in Trenton on November 5th, 1918. At the age of six she entered the Trenton Public School, passed her Entrance in 1931, and at- tended the High School there for one year. The family then decided to move to the pretty town of Paris. Here Verna attended the High School for three years, graduating from the Commercial Form. Verna, while attending the High School, won many a friend by her kind and happy disposition. She was always ready to enter into all the school sports, which she played with considerable skill. She is at present remaining at home, and we all wish her every suc- cess in whatever she undertakes. D.S.S. DAVID WILLIAM CAVAN David William Cavan was born December 6, 1919, at Oak Bank Farm, near Paris. At the age of five, he commenced his education at South Ward School. Having acquired all the knowledge this institution could be- stow upon him, at the age of seven years, he entered Queen's Ward School and remained there for four years. After a year of study at King's Ward he graduated to Paris High School in 1932. During the three years here his kind and thoughtful disposition quickly captivated the hearts of all who knew him. In all school activities he displayed a keen interest. He graduated with a Commercial Diploma in 1935. R. G. C. ROBERT GORDON CRUICKSI-IANK Robert Gordon Cruickshank was born July 31, 1919, near Paris. At the age of six, he commenced his education at the Stone School. After sev- en years of hard study he passed his Entrance to Paris High School in 1932. After a successful year spent in Form IB, he decided to make his de- but in the Commercial Form. He took a decided interest in this work and graduated with a Commercial Diploma in 1935. During the three years he spent at P. H. S., Gordon played an active part in sports and took much interest in Literary work. At present he is returning to P. H. S. and everyone who attended school with him wishes him every success in his business career and in all his undertakings throughout life. D. W. C. DORRIEN SMITH SUTHERLAND Always smiling and cheerful, To everyone a friend. Dorrien, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Sutherland, was born four miles north of Paris on Jan. 14th, 1915. Her early childhood was PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 13 spent happily on her father's farm, where in her spare time she engaged herself in feeding the chickens and driving the cows. Dorrien attended the Maus Public School from which she passed in 1929 with good results. P.H.S. then welcomed her as a pupil. She at- tended High School faithfully for six years, graduating with an honour Commercial Diploma. Dorrien is at home on the farm at present and we ,wish her every suc- cess in the future. '11 nb is A OLIVE ROSINA TATE On the morning of December 22, 1918, the stork paid a visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tate, with a little ray of sunshine. She was given the name of Olive Rosina. When she reached the tender age of five, she attended South Ward School and later Centralg passing her Entrance in 1931. For four years, she graced the halls of P. H. S., endearing herself to everyone by her cheer- ful personality. Olive is at present working at Penmans No. 1 Office. We wish her every success in the future. V.M.B. J. M. T. 5 MARY LOUISE VEIGEL Quite a disturbance was created in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clar- ence Veigel upon the arrival of their daughter Mary Louise, who first saw the light of day on April 24, 1917. During the pre-school age childish mischief took up most of her spare time. Her mother, unable to stand the nervous strain caused by Mary's antics, sent her off to Central School, Paris, at the age of six years. In 1930 she was successful in passing her Entrance. After taking two years' General Course at P. H. S., Mary decided to become a successful business woman by joining the Commercial Class, from which she graduated this June. Mary is now working at Penmans General Office, and we would take this opportunity of wishing her every success. la- fm - 3 WINNIFRED GRACE WILSON -- W. G. W. Winnifred, or Winnie as she is usually known, came into this cruel world on February 19th, 1917, at Banfield Street, Paris. For six years, this dark-eyed little lady disturbed her mother's peace of mind, and then set out to investigate the meaning of that mysterious word Education . In short, she entered Paris Public School, from whence she graduated in 1930. Then came good old Paris High School. Winnie took two years Gen- eral Course, and then decided to turn her talents toward a business educa- tion. She completed her Commercial Course this June, winning an hon- our diploma. Winnie is now at home, and we wish her every success in her future life. M. L. V. '7 'f'..

It was no longer the everyday gymnasium that we all know, but a theatre filled to capacity with an expectant crowd, the flags of many nations decorating the walls, and the stage curtains open, revealing a comfortable living room. This, then, was the scene of the one occasion of the year when parents, friends, teachers, the Board of Education and students 'unite to do honour to the graduates of the school. Mr. Butcher, as chairman, welcomed the guests and called upon Mr. Telfer, chairman of the Board of Education, to present the prizes and me- dals. Mr. Telfer spoke of his interest in the graduates and students, and of the pride which he has always taken in helping the school. He distribut- ed the following athletic medals: Junior Girls'-Frances Inksaterg Inter- mediate Girls'-Barbara Thomson by reversion from Doris Shannon, and Senior Girls'-Marjorie Gilies and Barbara Telfer Ctiedh. Junior Boys'- William Burt, Intermediate Boys'-Harold Stewart, Senior Boys'-Jack Martin, Keith Miller and George Hunter Ctiedb, by reversion from Donald Hickson. The special prizes donated by the staff for the best short stories and poems were awarded as follows: Poetry-Ruth Gilbert and Mary Britton, Senior Short Story-Ruth Durham and William McCrowg Junior Short Story-Walter Williams and Joyce Graham. An amusing three part chorus, The Dumb Wife , was sung by nine of the girls of the school. Great credit is due Mr. Smale for the careful choice and excellent training of those voices which blended so well. The names of the girls are: Muriel Bentley, Rita Bradley, Lucy Grulke, Mary Mogan, Marie Moriarity, Teresa Murphy, Margaret Nash, Joyce Priest, Patricia Tomlinson and Barbara Telfer, pianist. Colonel Monteith, chairman of the Management Committee, was then asked to present the diplomas to the graduates. He explained, for the be- nefit of the audience, the function of the Board of Education, the manner in which the members are elected, and their efforts to act in the best in- terest of the public in the carrying out of their duties. He complimented the citizens of Paris on the very excellent report which Inspector Hoag had given to the Board during his visit to the school. Mr. Hoag laid particular stress on the very fine spirit of co-operation which exists between the teachers and students. He commented on the excellentqualitications of the teachers chosen by the Boaril, and the ab- sence of breakages in the school, due in large part to the home training of the pupil. Colonel Monteith then presented commercial diplomas to the largest class which has graduated from the school in some years and gra- duation diplomas to the senior graduates. To the unusually large number of graduates present, he extended the best wishes of the Board of Educa- 16 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK tion for future success. Mr, Butcher in announcing the presentation of scholarships, thanked the donors and expressed his regret that Mr. Taylor had not lived to see his gift presented. The Helen Dickson Scholarship was presented by the doner, the I.O.D.E. Scholarship by Mrs. E. O. Apps, and the others by the principal. fFor list of scholarships and winners see page fourteen. Adam Miller delivered the valedictorian's address. On behalf of his fellow graduates, he spoke of his gratitude to the teachers of the school, and bade farewell to the remaining students. He made mention of the happy years of high school life with all the struggles for knowledge, the opportunity to develop personality and character, the friendships made, and the personal relations of the staff and students, all working for the good of the school. To those who remain he handed over the duty of car- rying on the tradition of honour and good sportsmanship, In conclusion, he said that the graduates will remain in spirit members of the school. It was a worthy and well expressed address. The high light of the program was a three-act comedy Green Stock- ings. In introducing the play, Mr. Butcher thanked Miss McKenzie, who trained the cast, Mr. Robinson, the Tait Optical Co., Mr. Coates, Mr. Cum- mings and all those who in numerous Ways helped to make the play a success. The play was extremely well done, and it would be most difficult to chose a star from a cast of all-stars . The costumes and setting were all that could be desired, and the interpretation of the roles was most clever. The list of characters was as follows: Colonel Smith, Alex Barron, Wm. Farrady, Wm. McCrowg Celia, the unmarriageable, Phyllis, the youngest, Evelyn, fLady Trenchardb, Madge fMrs. RockinghamJ,daugh- ters of Wm. Farrady, Elleene Munroe, Elsie Black, Ruth Gilbert, Grace Dennis, Mrs. Chisholm Farrady, of Chicago, Aunt Ida, Ruth Durham, Robert Tarver, Douglas Moss, Jimmy Raleigh, Jack Wilking Henry Steel, Emory Knillg Admiral Grice, James Elsong Martin, the butler, Donald Hickson. The appla1R' of the audience was proof of the success of the play. Between acts, Norman Seip, accompanied at the piano by Donald Simmons, played several violin selections. The Commencement closed with singing of the National Anthem. While the audience dismissed, the graduates, actors and ushers enter- ed Second Form, which was transformed from a classroom into a recep- tion hall. Mauve, chrysanthemums, yellow candles, ferns and gleaming silver made an attractive background for the guests at the reception given by the staff, Coffee, sandwiches and cakes disappeared with marvellous rapidity, while old acquaintances were renewed, plans for the future dis- cussed and present occupations announced. The friendly, happy atmosphere of the re-union will remain long in the minds and hearts of those who were .fortunate enough to be present. I am sure that the graduates of 1935 are convinced that theirs was the best Commencement of all. Dorothy B.

I welcome this opportunity to meet again the members of our class, to express on their behalf our gratitude to the teachers, and to say farewell to those whose good fortune it is to remain in such congenial surroundings. It is difficult to express our feelings on leaving school. We are elated at having reached this goal for which we have worked, and yet we are re- luctant to leave the classes and associations which have formed such a large and intimate part of our life. As we review our school life, it is the pleasant memories which stand out most clearly. Perhaps distance lends enchantment , for the hours of work and study and the examinations and struggles with our pet subjects seem remote, while the Literary meetings, the oratory contests and de- bates, the basketball games and the field days stand out vividly in our memory. Our first two years passed slowly and we wondered if we should ever reach Fifth Form, but how quickly the last two years have slipped by until now we are leaving the school. As we again stand on the thresh- old of a new stage in our life, we see what a kindly sheltered existence the school offered, and how heedlessly we took it for granted, and we feel real regret at leaving. In those first years, it seemed incredible that we should ever advance so far as to master the intricacies of Upper School subjects, yet diHiculties dissolved before our labours, and with the foundation laid in the earlier years, those subjects did not seem so difficult as we had imagined. What had appeared as advanced knowledge we can now regard as simply- a start, a basis for our advance into the realms of learning. And so we al- ways find it-the more we learn, the greater the field it opens to us to learn more, and to improve ourselves. What truer or better help could we have than the motto which graces our own school crest, Labor Omnia Vincit -Work Overcomes All Diffi- ctultiesf' We found its value and truth as we proceeded through school, i we learned it well, we unconsciously use it nowg and throughout our life, we must realize it is the real basis of all advancement we may make. I Our years here did more than offer us knowledge. They offered won- derful opportunities to develop a personality, and the watch-word of the school You are on your honor, must indeed have helped strengthen our character. But best of all, we were able to meet new friends, and continue with old friends, in friendships of warm, true loyalty, which often helped us more than any other influence, and which we shall always treasure. The students of this school are very fortunate in the personal direc- tion they receive from the staff. They are always willing and ready to help, and for their kindly interest we are very grateful. Such close co- operation brings a strong friendship between teacher and pupil, and an ability to Work together in the best interests of the school. To you who remain, we hand over the responsibility of upholding the honour and traditions of the school. Remember it is not enough simply to wing you must preserve that true British spirit of sportsmanship, and play the game. In years to come we shall follow with interest your exploits, and rejoice in your triumphs both as scholars and as sportsmen. We hope you will not forget us, for we should like to remain in spirit, at least, members of the school. Adam Miller. 1 18 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Prophecy of 1935 Graduating Class A prophecy is not a thing to be taken lightly. The so-called hidden fu- ture no longer confines us to the narrow limits of the present day. Per- haps even now you could give a perfectly accurate outline of the next five years of your life. For after all, one's future depends on oneself and one, two, or three forces which, in certain instances, change the course of human life. The possibility that one of these forces, death for instance, will affect the course of anyone's individual life, has been determined so closely as to be almost a certainty. Indeed, one's future may be consider- ed as one of the most secure things of life. The following items which appeared in To-morrow's Daily may not be absolutely correct, but in any case, they may interest you. The first name to draw my attention was that of Edgar Nash. Edgar was appointed head of the National Bureau of Etiquette at Ottawa. He is a recognized authority on this subject and works in conjunction with the Royal Ad- visers of London, England. Norman Seip achieved a glorious success. His symphonies were such an outstanding departure from anything' previous to them that it is said they stand alone in the realm of music. Another member of our class who excited great interest among the general public is Harold Kennedy. Harold was elected to represent the constituency of Brant in the Provincial Legislature. He was a supporter of the extreme left-wing movement which advocated the restoration of private fortunes. Laura Wilkin leads an exciting life as a classical interpreter for numerous archaeological surveys. Her sister Helen was the founder of the Society of the Northern Light, a band of nurses who served the Canadian North. Jesse Jasper became a veterinary surgeon. While experimenting with various remedies for mange, he discovered a permanent cure for baldness. The properties of this medicine were so powerful that natural hair-growth could be accelerated greatly by a small application. The corrupt use of this remedy by barbers became so prevalent that the Government was forced to pass a law which forbade anyone but a doctor prescribing its use. It is also interesting to note that the discussion arising from this discovery was one of the deciding factors which brought about the complete control of medicine by the state. Hazel Pelton and Evelyn Roberts took up land- scape gardening and set up a studio in Galt. It is said that their property in Galt is one of the beauty spots of Ontario. Ernest Apps, after gradua- ting from Toronto University, became chief engineer in the construction of the great Roebuck dam in Northern Ontario. Craig Sowden and Alex McLaren were the only two members of the class to take up farming. They were successful and the names of Sowden and McLaren are fa- miliar to every dairy farmer in Ontario. Elsie Black and Nellie Haines entered the teaching profession. Elsie conducted a private French School in London, while Nellie became head of the Latin department at Malvern Collegiate, Toronto. Jack Taylor became President of the Canadian Ath- letic Association. It was he who inaugurated the National Sports Festival which is held each year. Isabel Hunt took up newspaper work and be- came very prominent as a reporter. Hazel Folsetter graduated from Wes- tern University and took a position as critic in a London publishing house. Later she was made president of the Ontario Library Board, and became PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 19 prominent in the organization of rural youth movements throughout the Province. Harland Kempthorne and Dick Murray became boat-builders, and in due time, their enterprise reached great proportions. They had the honour of winning the Harmsworth trophy by piloting their own boat Richard V to victory over Gar Wood's Miss America XV . Adam Miller and Leslie Cohn practised law together for many years in Brantford. Adam became well-known, not only as a clever lawyer, but also as the owner of a kennel of English racing dogs. Both Adam and Leslie have retired from the practice of law, and devote all their time to their dogs. They are familiar Hgures on every prominent dog track in America. The story is not complete. Here and there parts have been left out. In other places I have wilfully erred from the true course. It is beyond my province to disclose everything. Something must remain to hold your interest, so that even when the passing years verify these prophecies, you, looking back, will smile and say, Pshaw, it is only a coincidence. Robert Cowan, Prophet. My Desire I want to be the kind of kid Teacher wants me to be, A kid with lots of work to do, And be a pet oh gee . I do not want a real high markg I do not look for praise, I do not covet school-wide fame Nor real long holidays. I want to be a little help And show some grit in meg I want to be the kind of kid That teacher wants me to be. Carrie Steinhoff. ' 1 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Poets' Corner Music First Prize, Poetry Contest. 'Tis the voice of God's love, this endless melody, That rings from age to age unceasingly, And making bright the darkest, dullest day, With notes of ecstasy, along the way. With joy, our little feathered friends we hear Unite in praise to One, their Maker, dearg To every breath the forest bends in time, And to the whistling wind the boughs incline. Music, we see in the river's bright How, And the brooks ripple a tune as they onward go, The trickling rain-drops do sing as they fall, And earth re-echoes the chorus of all. Who does not hear it in the ocean wave, When mighty its roar resounds from cave to Cave, When tossed and rolled by a Wild, fierce storm, Or lulled to rest on a warm summer's morn? The strains of music greet the blushing bride, And call the handsome bridegroom to her side. The song of war delights the savage ear, And stirs the heart to kill, and not to fear. Upon the grassy hill the shepherd sings A song that moves the hearts of slaves or kings. With notes more divine the harper of old, In the maiden's ear whispered dreams of gold. Can't you hear it in the air? just everywhere, In every act, in every scene we fare, Sweet tunes, gay trills to soften and unchain Our souls from evil and dishonest gain. Ruth Gilbert. 0 Sprung Second Prize, Poetry Contest When spring comes tripping over the hills, Bringing the lilting birds to the swaying trees And sweet soft winds from the rippling rills, Then an intlnite glamour the whole world fills. And the morning comes wrapped in silvery mist, Hiding the Helds in a robe of dew, Draping the trees, and the grasses, dew-kissed, Peep out at the sunbeams dancing through. Pale hepaticas push through the earth, Willow buds open in green lacy plumes, . The streamlets prattle aloud in their mirth, Telling the world that the spring has come.

William McCroW The Literary Society of the Paris High School is an organization of which we are all justly proud. Attended and directed by the student body alone, this society sponsors all the various social events of the school. The Field Day Dance, Commencement, the At Home, and the famed Senior Prom are all under their management. The executive is elected twice yearly by the pupils, and the meetings are held in school hours. The programs, presented by each form in turn, offer varied and diverse entertainment. Radio sketches, dramas, musical numbers, and dances, exhibit the versatile genius of P. H. S. The Quill, our school paper, is the funny bone of P. H. S., and during its reading, great is the apprehension of each member, lest his name should be mentioned in connection with some misdeed. This, then, is the P.H.S. Literary Society, the centre of wit and Wis- dom, the axis on which the school revolves as a social institution. Elsie J. Black. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK UNB IL?

M ary Mogan The Quill is a source of great interest and much amusement at every Literary meeting. The popularity of this active organ is illustrated by the fact that the student body have been known, upon numerous occasions, to vote to remain a few minutes after four o'clock that the reading of an edi- tion might be completed. The following are a number of interesting extracts from the bounti- ful pages of The Quill. Editorial, Nov. 15. It is really a little harder than most of you realize to hit upon a new idea for an editorial. It is practically impossible to discuss in this column the usual class-room events, anyway, that is all taken care of in the form reports. Ye editor is supposed to be a cryptic individual, much too busy to crack a joke. Besides the humour section makes that it's business. As far as worldly news goes, the daily papers are full of world events, and a mere repetition of these facts becomes as tiresome to you, no doubt, as they do to the editor. And once again that belongs to another department, so here I am with nothing to write about. Wit and Humour, Oct. 4. A prominent Fifth Former has formulated a plan for the prevention of war and bettering of world conditions. It is called his E.P.U.I.T.O.B. Plan, i.e. his Emergency Plan Until I Think of a Better Plan. The invent- or says, quote: 'There are three things necessary to run a war, first-Mon- ey, second-Money, and third-Money. Therefore, banish all money and end all wars? A few things we can't imagine are: C15 A well-known Fifth-Former speaking from a Liberal platform. C25 The majority of Lower School students and some Middle and Uper School students not talking during a Literary Programme. C35 The end of a Literary meeting when the Lower School students didn't rush the door and push the marshall merrily out before them. Boys' Sports, October 4. At last Rugby has gotten underway at our renowned P. H. S. The season was opened here by a terrific struggle on Wednesday afternoon be- tween Fifth Form and a picked team from the rest of the school. Fifth ended up on the wrong end of a 7-0 score. 24 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Vengeance is Mine First Prize, Senior Short Story Contest Under the blazing, relentless, equatorial sun, a band of weary, ragged prisoners of war stumbled on. Their bronzed faces were expressionless. A spirit of extreme weariness and depression hovered over all-Italian soldiers and their unfortunate Ethiopian prisoners. In the centre of the group, one dark man only, walked with a firm step, and seemed unaware of his horrible position. This man was Mjombi, follower of God, leader of men. In many countries he had been admired for his fine physique and his handsome face. Gloomily, he reflected on his fate. He, who had been educated in the best colleges of France and England and even his hated enemy, Italy, was to mingle with prisoners of low caste, untutored cow- ards, born by foolish women to provide cannon fodder for Italy. He, Whom the Almighty One had always blessed abundantly would be one of the huge throng of ill-treated negroes. Thus, day after day, the party struggled on. Mjombi's feet burned fiercely at every step. Unlike his comrades, he was unaccustomed to going without shoes or sandals. His feet refused to move, his spirit flagged and he fell in a quivering heap. A great whip fell again and again upon his bent backg blood dripped from his wounds upon the baked ground. Captain Bagnetto swore and Mjombi was forced to rise and stagger on. On and on, day after day, week after week! Heat, hunger, thirst! In his madness, Mjombi cried to his God to destroy him. But a body as strong as Mjombi's could not be destroyed in a day or week by hardships. A miracle of God or violence by man alone could grant him death. And so the days rolled on, slowly and painfully. The Italian body- guard was gradually weakened as one by one they fell by the Wayside, ex- hausted by heat and poor food-and still Mjombi lived. His feet no longer burned-feeling had fled from his broken body. Only mad rage and desire for revenge burned in his fevered mind. The cultured negro had reverted to a primitive savage. Finally the small company, after much wandering, came to an Italian encampment situated in the territory of the Danakil Tribe. With great relief the tired company fell into a deep, profound sleep. In the middle of the night, a swarm of fierce, naked savages swept down silently upon the unsuspecting camp. They cut the sentries' throats, and cautiously slipped into the encampment, ruthlessly butchering those who awakened and opposed them, until they reached the black prisoners. Someone cut Mjombi's bonds. His mind could hardly grasp the situation. Freedom lay just ahead! With a gasp of incredulity he arose and followed the fleeing pack. A general commotion arose in the camp. Someone thrust a rifle into Mjombi's hand. Captain Bagnetto gave his men hurried orders and they rushed after the black fugitives, their courageous Captain Bagnetto at their head. Mjombi's heart was bursting-he had reached the end of his endur- ance. Suddenly he felt a hot point blaze through his weary back. He turn- ed, stumbled and fell, his face upturned. Before his blurred eyes, one face stood out-that of Captain Bagnetto. With superhuman effort, he raised upon his elbow, aimed carefully and fired. Bagnetto fell, contorted by Death. Mjombi laughed triumphantly. Vengeance is Mine saith the Lordg and he fell into a sleep that knoweth no end. Ruth Durham.

Time rolls on in its relentless course forever and forever, but the uni- verse is constant despite physical changes. Down through the ages, men as miniature atoms in a mammoth universe have reigned supreme for a little day in their tiny realms and have passed on. Scientists, Philosophers and Mathematicians may make their great discoveries in the future, but incomparable are they all to the discovery of Delanio an Italian astronom- er who will live in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. It shall come to pass that in the year 33,333 A.D., the moon, as scien- tists now predict, shall split into four parts. Let us roll away the years and all the physical changes that accompany them until the year 33,333 A.D. In the early days of August, Delanio noticed from his great obser- vatory in the suburbs of Florence, two distinct lines across the face of the full moon, intersecting at right angles near the centre. The two lines con- tinued to grow brighter and by means of his spectroscope he could distin- guish phosphorescent light or vapour pouring from the ever-widening cra- ters. Faint distant rumblings accompanied frequent earth tremors and a strong east wind prevailed. People became alarmed as did Delanio. He deduced that if the moon did split entirely and fly to outer space, the wa- ters of the earth would be out of control, since the tides were governed en- tirely by it. By means of close observation and because of the constancy of the east wind, Delanio knew the earth was turning much faster. Here was the chance he had waited for, the possibility of reaching the moon or a part of it, man's mad desire for thousands of years. Delanio hurriedly built a huge rocket ship of armour plate inside of which he built a bullet-shaped compartment to be cushioned against the outer one by a bath of liquid air. He loaded instruments, food supplies in the form of concentrated tablets, water, a few weapons and miscellaneous tools. That night he watched with keen interest and as the cavities be- came larger the earth revolved faster and terrific electrical storms were frequent. Delanio knew this condition could not last anymore than a day at most, so he crawled in through the narrow doors, closed and sealed them and waited. By means of his uriliascope he watched humans and buildings being tossed about like strawsg the beautiful architecture crumpled like chalk in the grip of this strange unseen hand. Delanio's heavy concrete observatory was the last vestige of a building to remain intact. Time grew shorter between sunrise and sunset. The air became filled with particles of earth, water and debris from wrecked buildings. The light of the sun and moon could no longer penetrate to the surface of the earth. In the course of a few hours Delanio was aroused from his sleep by a deep, crashing sound that seemed to engulf everything. His seismograph indicated violent convulsions in the very bowels of the earth. Amid an ov- erwhelming din his rocket balanced on its turnion. A sudden, flashing in- crease of speed and like a shooting star the rocket left the flying earth in a tangent straight in the direction of the moon. So violent was the change of state that Delanio was thrown against the end of the cabin which jarred the electrical contact and set off the rockets. Delanio lay helplessly un- conscious but Anadria, his former friend and admirer, at the University of Athens, who had hidden in the storage compartment, crept down to his I 26 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK side. Delanio! Delanio! Are you hurt? Oh! my head! Anadria! Where did you come from? Where are we? Oh yes! the moon Anadria, look at it through the uriliascope. It is thrown to the four corners of outer space but thank God We are heading directly for one part of it. Our speed is decreasing! Heaven forbid that we should stop in the space where the pull of the earth is equal to the pull of the moon. Turn on the other rocket tube, or we will float around in that space forever as a sattelite. Ah! luck is with us, we are nearly through that space and are accelerating positively toward our goal. The following mo- ments were spent in landing the rocket ship safely on the cratered surface of the moon. Delanio and Anadria quickly fastened on emergency oxy- gen tubes and stepped out into a new, new world to them. What a dis- hevelled scene they looked upon! Piles upon piles of silvery-yellow rocks lay strewn before them, which before the great change had been beautiful slender spires, as their taper- ing bases indicated. Upon removal of their oxygen masks, they found the air to be quite as breathable as ours but tinged with a strong odour of phosphorous. Our two adventurers thought to explore further the sur- face of the moon and hand in hand they started to walk toward the huge pile of phosphorous rock that cut off their view. Their first steps proved to them that things were not as they seemed. Instead of raising their bod- ies a few inches at each step as was customary on the earth, they seemed to rise about three feet. They looked at each other in utter amazement. Delanio had once been a champion javelin thrower at the Olympic games held in Melbourne, Australia and knowing how far he could throw it, he thought to try it here on the moon. Upon measuring the distance, he found it to be about twenty-four times as great. Anadria, Sir Isaac Newton was correct in his law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity here on the moon is about one twenty-fourth of the force on earth and thus this part of the moon is about one-quarter the size of the original moon. This means we have about twenty-four times the strength we had on earth. In a few easy leaps the two gained the top of the pile of rock and peer- ed over its edge. Here they could see a system of deep valleys guarded on each side by perpendicular cliffs of shining yellow rock and in the distance tiny animals or beings moved toward them. Delanio! what are they? Is the moon inhabited or is it illusion '? Groups of beautiful light-complex- ioned beings, about one-third as large as humans formed a circle around our two adventurers. The most striking thing about them was that they had only one eye, placed in the centre of the forehead. Their mode of at- tire was simple but very effective. The female of the species wore neatly tailored gowns of a glistening cloth, entirely devoid of ornaments, com- mon to the ladies of the earth. Also, facial decorations were lacking. The male wore a trim-looking linen shirt, close-fitting at the neck, short knee trousers and knee boots of a finely woven metallic substance. In short, they were simple in attire and impressed our adventurers by their natural- ness. A leader stepped from their midst, bowed gallantly and began to speak in a language very foreign to Delanio and Anadria but nevertheless, rythmic and sweet to their ears. Knowing that he was not understood, the leader motioned toward the valley and started to walk briskly in that di- rection. Delanio and Anadria gazed on the most beautiful scene ever witnessed PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 27 by humans. Down in the long valley they saw a wide shining pavement with great factories and shops bordering it. On the next street running parallel were the homes of the workers and shop-keepers, square buildings with ultra-modern windows and fixtures. The next street back revealed farm lands and homes. The vegetation was profuse and well-cared for, yet up on the edge of the cliff where they stood, was an utter desert of rock, barren and bleak, where nothing grew. The whole valley bespoke a high- ly-educated and highly-organized world. Our adventurers followed the leader down into the valley and were soon speeding up the main boule- vard in a car propelled by water. The engine converted the water into hydrogen and oxygen and derived its great power from the ignition of the two gases. They came to a stop where all the valleys seemed to converge at a point marked by a huge castle. The outside structure bespoke a keen knowledge of geometry and the inside was a sequel with its finely etched designs and beautiful pillars. The leader took Delanio and Anadria into a beautifully furnished hall at the end of which sat the king of the Valley People. Delanio soon learn- ed to converse freely with the young king. My young friends are from earth. We are. I expected you. The last days before the great change I perceived through my fourth-dimension ray tube, young Delanio working feverishly on his rocket and by means of my inter-planetary amplifier, I could hear faintly what you planned to do. Your Majesty, how do you account for the great change that has tak- en place here on the moon? Very simple Delanio. The moon was inhabited by four types of be- ings. We, may I say had the brains, scientific and mathematical know- ledge of the whole moon. The others were divided thus: Those who were savages in one part, the warlike peoples in the second part and the radi- cals in the third part. Our people became discontented with their neigh- bours the warlike people and so the great scientist Obyl, of the Valley People, came upon a plan to cut us adrift from the rest and thus save War and destruction of our great organizations. He invented a chemical that would cut through the rock and thus separate the tribes. Obyl did not plan, however, the destruction of the earth, but it came as a consequence of the great change here. Things are very different here. Our buildings and clothing are made from a liquid derived by pumps from the interior of the moon. The liquid, Obylid, after Obyl, is treated chemically and manufactured into cloth by one treatment and into crystal .stone by anoth- er. Our people eat the fruits and vegetables grown by our Agricultural- ists. Thus you see how far ahead of earth we are up here. But Anadria, why did you come with Delanio to the moon and the land of the Valley People? Your Majesty, I loved him and I desired to see what was beyond the bounds of space. William F. McCr0W. I t fl 28 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK A Cltristmas Story Honourable Mention, Senior Short Story Contest Christmas Eve, 1927! New York was clad in gay, festive colors of green and red. Everywhere, beaming lights and glistening streamers gave forth the merry tidings. Small, red noses pressed tight against the frost- ed show windows. Childish Voices crying I want this, and I hope San- ta brings me that! Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, bachelors, spin- sters, old and young entered wholeheartedly into these last minutes of Christmas shopping. Only one, upon that crowded, happy street, looked ahead with unseeing eyes and lips which did not, could not smile. She was Rosita. How she longed to join the Christmas gaiety! How her heart yearned to be accepted by someone! She was an outcast from her own people-a Christian Jewess. No one would help her-not even the people whose re- ligion she had embraced at the cost of her physical happiness. She hard- ly remembered her last, real meal. Her limbs were fast becoming numb from the icy cold of the night. How long ago it seemed since she had been warm and comfortable! How long ago it was since she had first met the little evangelist, since she had first heard, to understand, the coming of Christ to earth! She re- membered with deepest longing the stolen hours during which Christ had first revealed himself to her through His servant, May Carleton. And then, Christ had protected hcr from her Aunt's scalding words and encouraged her in her daily battle. Bitter tears came to her eyes as she recalled the day that her Aunt had found the worn, New Testament and had denounced her as a Traitor . Grimly her father had pleaded with her to forget this new religion and had given her the choice of himself or this Christ. With steadfast resolution and firm belief in Christ, she had deserted her parental home, and gone forth into the New York night. But days had passed and weeks: gradually, her money dwindled and now, on Christmas Eve, she was penniless, starving in the midst of plenty, friendless among thousands of people-a Christian Jewess! On and on she stumbled, not knowing where she was going or why, compelled by some strange driving force. In her head, tiny drums Seem- ed to beat out the words, keep going! keep going! and then the deep- est of darkness closed around her. Christmas shopping crowds are curious, and soon the small, scantily- clad Jewess was ccmpletely surrounded. Only with great difficulty, did the Reverend Richard Huntley succeed in rescuing the unconscious girl from their midst. Gaily the bells chime out their message of Christmas Cheer. Once again, New York is decked in Christmas colours, celebrating the one thou- sand nine hundred and thirty-fifth anniversary 'of Christ's glorious birth. In a small, unpretentious church, a dark woman kneels in prayer. Beside her, a tall handsome young preacher stands. Together, they have scaled the ladder of happiness and found Christ awaiting them. In a low voice, the Reverend Richard Huntley spoke to his fragile wife Let us thank God for Christ and for letting us find each other, my Rosita.

The boys were again represented in the W.O.S.S.A. basketball league and were ably coached by Mr. Smith. The Junior boys were in a group with Ingersoll, Galt and Brantford and the Senior Boys with Galt and Brantford. Both Brantford teams emerged victorious in their groups. In case it may be of interest, the scores of the games are set down here. Jan. 18-Junior-At Ingersoll-Paris defeated Ingersoll 23-16. Jan. 25-Junior at Brantford--Brantford defeated Paris 32-27.

As per usual, the Mighty Vth again showed its annual supremacy in volleyball over picked teams from the rest of the school. On May 6, Donald Hickson, George Hunter, Jack Martin and Keith Miller journeyed to the Waterloo College Meet and brought home with them a first in the half-mile, a second in the running broad jump and a third in the relay. The boys are of the opinion that it will be a cinch to go up to Waterloo this coming spring and bring back the Hainsworth Trophy to Paris. Our school intends to send to this meet a complete track team of the best girl and boy athletes in the school. Two of our junior boys, John Kennedy and Gordon Parsons, represen- ted P. H. S. on May 18th at the W.O.S.S.A. Athletic Meet held in London. I . 30 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK The boys also intend to send a track team to the W.O.S.S.A. Meet in the spring. The Annual Track and Field Day was held on Wednesday, October 2. In the Senior Boys' events, Donald Hickson emerged as victor, but having won the Senior Championship the year before, he was ineligible for the medal and it reverted to Keith Miller, Jack Martin and George Hunter who were all tied with 13 points each. The Intermediate Championship Was won by Harold Stewart and the Junior Championship by William Burt. Rugby played an important part in the athletics of our school this fall and several inter-form games were played. There seems to be plenty of good material for rugby players, but the boys do not seem to be very en- thusiastic toward the game, their enthusiasm being dampened no doubt by the absence of the proper equipment.

Sports are very necessary for healthy bodies and clear minds. During the warm fall days the girls enjoy exercises, baseball, running, jumping and all kinds of outdoor sport on the playground. In the cool winter months we resort -to the gymnasium where basketball is played. Captains choose teams from the various forms and enjoy games of friend- ly rivalry. The girls also learn to do quaint folk dances. These sports are all carried on under the very capable direction of Miss Sinclair. Field day was, as usual, very successful. True sportsmanship predom- inated all events. Congratulations go to Marjorie Gillies, Barbara Telfer, Barbara Thomson and Frances Inksater, our Field Day Champions. The booth, under the capable convenership of Mary Jeffery, sold real hot hot dogs, candy and apples, which netted very profitable returns.

Senior Dance One more enjoyable evening passes into the realm of memories, one more good time has been added to our collection of high school activities. To the first formers it will be a memory to which future ones will be com- pared. To the older pupils, some of whom are spending their last year at P.H.S., it will be one of the best memories of high school life. If the ghosts of other Senior Dances had been wandering around last Friday night, they would not have recognized the dance hall. When one entered the gym., one was struck with the pleasing appearance it presented. Instead of the glaring lights away up in the ceiling, floor lamps had been placed at inter- vals around the room while two spotlights, one at each end, were trained on the doorway. A string of many colored balloons stretched the length of the room. It was really very attractive. The committee must have work- ed hard, but the results achieved were well worth their efforts. At the north end, Norm. Seip's orchestra was placed on a raised platform and supplied the music for the dancing. Some of last year's graduates were back and expressed their pleasure at having been invited. A few novel numbers were held for which prizes were given. Laura Wilkin and Emory Knill were on the spot and won the prize but it had a catch in it because they had to give an exhibition of dancing. After a time, balloons were dis- tributed to everyone and the dancers went around to see how many they could break. Doug. Moss and his partner Ruth Durham won this contest. About eleven o'clock, there was a short intermission and Doug. Moss dealt out punch to all and sundry. As midnight approached, the Home Waltz and the National Anthem brought to a close the most successful senior prom our school has ever held.

Form IV Form III Literary Executive Senior Commercial PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 33 Twenty-Five Silver Years In every corner of the world where Britons live, from London with her teeming, joyous millions to the far outposts of India and Arctic Cana- da, dramatic thanksgiving was held on May 6th, 1935, to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of their Majesties, King George and Queen Mary. Never has there been such homage paid to a monarch in the modern age as was paid to our own beloved King and Emperor, George V, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of His Majesty's accession to the throne. For weeks and weeks preceding the memorable day, visitors from every region under the sun converged on old London-Empire represen- tatives from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North America, and the Is- lands of the Seas. Princes and Princesses of the Royal House, Continental potentates, India's Maharajahs, turbaned and jewelled, the great person- ages of the arts and professions, and the army, the navy and the air force in all their splendour, were present to do justice to the great occasion. Added to these were the Church and State in all their dignity, the glisten- ing helmets of the Life Guards, and the vivid blue of the Order of the Garter, and fiuttering above the whole scene was the Union Jack, the red, White and blue, the symbol of liberty, loyalty and justice. So completely did old London give herself over to celebrating the Sil- ver Jubilee that hundreds of thousands of people remained in the street all night in order to watch the pageantry of the Royal procession from Buck- ingham Palace to St. Paul's Cathedral. In old St. Paul's, the King and Queen knelt humbly at the feet of high ecclesiastics, who, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, raised voices in thanksgiving and praise. Of all the moving observances of the Jubilee Day, none was more dramatic than the roll-call of the Empire that was a prelude to the King's message. London calling the British Empire -On May 6th, this call went out over a world-wide short-wave hook-up from the British Broad- casting Company in London, calling the Empire, calling the world. It was his Majesty's Jubilee and the world paid tribute. The program was car- ried off without a break, a voice from each Dominion in turn rolled out across the ether waves, paying tribute to their Monarchs. London calling South Africa- But South Africa was ready. A moment later General Jan Smuts stepped to the microphone, and spoke to the King, bringing warm greetings from his loyal Dominion. London calling the Indian Em- pire- His Excellency, the Viceroy, Lord Willingdon, spoke India's tri- bute to her Emperor. And so in turn London called each Dominion, and they were ready and waiting. The smaller colonies cabled their greetings, as did scores of other countries. Almost unheard of tribes in India and Asia cabled their messages of congratulation to Britain's Emperor. And in her turn, the Mother Country, England, voiced her greetings through her Prime Minister, J . Ramsay MacDonald. MacDonald finished, and there was a roll of drums, and the strains of the National Anthem went across a listening Empire. Then George V of Great Britain, Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, spoke to his subjects: At the close of this memorable day, I must speak to my people everywhere. Yet how can I express what is in my heart ? I can only say to you, my very dear people, that the Queen and I thank you from the depths of our hearts for all the loyalty, 1 34 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK and may I say, the love with which this day and always you have sur- rounded us. Not only were celebrations held in London! In every possession of the Mother Country, citizens in every walk of life, communities large and small, corporations public and private, did honour to their King and Queen by expressing their appreciation of their Majesty's devoted service to the welfare of their people. For five and twenty silver rounded years, Our well-beloved King has been our stay. Has kept us free, defended us from fears, In times of darkness, all along the way. He feels for all his people where e'er they be, For those at home and those across the sea. Whatever comes, he nobly plays his part, We have a King who has a human heart. Beside him truly stands his stately Queen, A source of strength, and always his right handg A dearer mother our Empire ne'er has seen, A woman loved by all in every land. Hailed by a nation's cheers, then let them be, Till this old World, the true reward may view That to a monarch comes, who keeps us free, His aim, a noble aim,-peace to pursue. Link hands around the globe, and let us sing With thankful hearts afire, God Save the King. Ruth M. Gilbert. School at Home The annual school At Home , which took place on March 1, was one of the most successful ever held. The program began with the usual Surname Contest. The boys form- ed a line in their basement, and the girls formed one in theirs. Then they marched into the gymnasium to take partners for this contest, which con- sisted of questions, the answers to which were surnames of pupils of the school. Evelyn Bee and Craig Sowden, who succeeded in guessing the largest number of correct answers, won the prize. The old game of Musical Chairs was played in a new and novel way. The most amusing event of the evening was the Recognition Contest. A group of pupils were dressed in costumes and paraded around while the rest guessed who they were: Ernest Apps, disguised as a blind mang James Bradley, a stylish young flapperg Barbara Summerby, a Hallowe'en Witch, Dean Johnston and Gordon Parsons as Amos and Andy , Ruth Gilbert, a charming young lady of former days, Alfred Gibbons, a tramp, Laura Wilkin, a clowng Elleene Munroe and Douglas Moss dressed as public school children sang Schooldays g and Edgar Nash and Jack Brown in evening clothes sang Good-night Ladies. Dorothy Boyle and John Kennedy guessed the identity of all these and so won the prize. Lunch was then served under the direction of Ruth Durham. Too soon the party broke up, another enjoyable At Home having passed into his- tory. Dorothy Schuyler. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 35 How can Canada Contribute to World Peace 7 The worst way to get peace is to look for it with a gun. J. R. Clynes. The threat of war again casts its horrible shadows over the face of the earth. Men feel powerless to avert the impending catastrophe, though frantic efforts are being made to devise means of ushering in an era of Peace. What can Canada contribute towards the cause ? Canada's efforts, I think, must be primarily directed towards the build- ing up a world-wide desire for peace. History testifies that when a custom proves harmful not only to the 'masses' but to some of the upper classes as well, that custom is eventually abolished. Feudalism was an outworn system in 1789. It stood in the way of the New Industrialism. In France, many writers pointed out the evils of feudalism and led in the agitation for its abolition. As a result, public opinion was mobilized, the French rebelled, and feudalism was over- thrown. The example set by the French caused the overthrow of feudal- ism and slavery in other countries. War is no longer local in its effect. The Punic Wars in the time of the Ancient Romans, lasted over one year and concerned only Rome and Carthage. To-day, trouble between Italy and Ethiopia is a universal prob- lem. Since the Great War, the world has been in a state of confusion. Trade and commerce are disorganizedg factories are shut downg men are out of work, taxes are rising and the world is gripped by a depression. Millions of men are aware that war is an archaic method of settling dis- putesg that they gain nothing and lose everything by its employment. Can not Canada mobilize public opinion in many countries by pointing out the evils of war both to the grown-ups and to children, by setting a good ex- ample in our relationships with other countries, and thereby lead the way in overthrowing the evil custom ? Not fearing foreign invasion, Canada can think clearly on the subject of Peace. Since the formation of the International Joint Commission in 1910 to settle disputes between Canada and the United States, there has been, between the two countries, a spirit of international good-will and co- operation almost without parallel in any part of the world. By this exam- ple, Canada is perhaps unconsciously dealing a good hand in the game of Peace. The League of Nations, established in 1919, resembles the Interna- tional Joint Comrnission, but it consists of a world-wide interest. Because of the failure of the United States to join the League, Canada is the sole in- terpreter of the North American opinion in the League of Nationsg for this reason she has there an influence out of proportion to her size. Canada, therefore, is well suited for leading the agitation for the abolition of war. But if Canada is to make any worthwhile contribution, we Canadians must sincerely and ardently desire peace. We must be the kind of people who can live at peace with our own families, our neighbors and our fellow citizens. After that, we must have a spirit of good will big enough to take in the whole world. In this last particularly, to quote Herbert Hoover, We must wage peace as we have waged war. The children of to-day, who 36 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK will be the men and women of to-morrow, must be educated as thinkers and leaders toward the shining goal of Peace. In this march, international organizations such as Scouts, and Guides should be encouragedg for through their organization, the youth of the world can receive a better understanding of each other. Will politics and religion mix ? Unless they are mixed, neither can come to its bestg but the one to suffer most by itself is politics. No work is more sacred than politics at its highest. If a na- tion has good rulers whose one aim is the best interests of all her people, it is only a matter of time until the character of the people will rise to the level of the rulers. Canadians must have a spirit of optimism, not defeat- ism. With the black war-clouds hovering over the Italo-Ethiopian front it is hard not to think of the 'might be's' of warg but we, the Sons and Daughters of a Great Dominion, must stand together and ban like 'obsce- nity' all silly chatter about the inevitability of war. May we, as Canadians, contribute our thoughts, words and deeds to- wards the goal of Peace: for if our Heavenly Father can bring forth the water-lily in all its purity and infinite beauty from the muck and mire of the stagnant pool, He will surely cause Peace to rise from the depths of the worldis chaos and darkness, if we Trust Him and Obey.

PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 39 A Mountie Gets His Man First Prize, Junior Short Story Contest A tingling shock of horror ran through the stalwart frame of Sergeant Digby. He stood motionless in the trail. All about him was the purplish hue of the North woods twilight. His narrowed eyes were fixed upon the ridge top just ahead. There a grim spectacle stood out in a stark silhouette against the darkening sky. At the brow of the ridge was the lightning-shattered trunk of what was once a mighty spruce. Near its jagged top a broken branch project- ed-a long branch, like a dark skeleton finger. From the tip of that lone branch, swaying gently to and fro in the evening breeze, hung the lifeless body of a man. No sound, except the soft whispering of branches and the faint, ghostly creaking of taut rope on the skeleton branch, broke the eter- nal stillness of the woods. Warily, alert for any emergency, he began to ascend the remaining slant of the ridge. As he drew nearer to the ghastly spectacle, near enough to distinguish the colour of the clothing worn by the dead man, a second shock of horror overtook Sergeant Digby-a shock that was greater than the first. The corpse was that of his greatest friend, Sergeant Carson. Carson, his features battered almost beyond recognition, hung by the neck by a ten-foot rope. Digby quickly cut down the silent figure. A thor- ough examination showed that Carson had been dead before the killer had strung him up, for there was a neat, round hole in the back of his scarlet tunic. A hard lump just under the skin of the dead man's breast disclos- ed the bullet. With jaw set like molded iron, Sergeant Digby reached for his knife. After extracting the bullet, he stood there, lost for the moment in deep thought. Suddenly, a bullet whizzed viciously past his head and buried itself in a nearby tree. With it came the slashing report of a rifle from somewhere in the thickets far down at the base of the ridge. Sergeant Digby hurled himself behind a convenient spruce. He smiled grimly to himself. He could tell by the report of the rifle that it was the same cali- bre as that which had killed Carson. Behind the large spruce, Sergeant Digby lay still as a figure cast in bronze, listening-. Minutes passed. Full darkness took the ridge top. Utter silence blan- keted the forest. No second shot came to break the heavy stillness. Noth- ing stirred. Evidently the hidden rifleman was playing a waiting game He could not have been certain, in the fading light, whether or not his bul- let had found its mark. It was his probable intent to allow a long inter- val to elapse before making any attempt to investigate the result of his shot. Acting on that hunch, Sergeant Digby soundlessly wormed his way back across the spine of the ridge. He got to his feet and began to angle down through the black growth toward the spot from which the shot had come. Under the faint shine of high stars, he moved soundlessly as a shadow. At every step he paused to listen, thus his progress was quite slow. At the end of an hour he was nearing his objective. The sky was aglow with the moon, which was now sailing clear, bathing the crest of the murder ridge in a wash of silver, spilling ghostly radiance upon the grim spruce with the broken branch so like a skeleton finger pointing. Suddenly nearby a twig snapped. Sergeant Digby cculd hear the killer coming towards him. Silently, he waited. A man passed in front of him. With a swift leap Digby was upon his quarry. The fellow uttered one startled shout as he went down beneath the Mountie's catapulting weight. In falling. the man struck his head and was dazed. Digby quick- ly slipped handcuffs on his wrists. The Mountie had lived up to the traditional motto of the Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police, 'KA Mountie gets his man. Walter Williams.

Cocks, announced the winners of the Legion Essay con- test and commented briefly on the excellent work done by the pupils. Mr. Butcher then read an appropriate passage from the Scriptures. The guest speaker at the service was Rev. Mr. Ballantyne, who chose as his subject Courage , The undivided attention of the whole student body was given him during his very interesting talk. Mr. Butcher read the names of those former pupils of Paris High School who had given their lives in the war, and asked us to remember, in the two minutes' silence which followed, not only those whose names he had just read, but all of those who had left their homes and friends to serve their country. The service then closed with God Save The King. Hazel Folsetter. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 43 Junior Commercial A class of forty girls and boys, Can surely make a lot of noise.

The latest craze among the girls seems to be the kerchief collar or what-have-you . These are shown in many different colours, and are certainly very becoming. The members of the weaker sex seem to be rather undecided as to whether they will continue wearing their summer clothes or resort to the darker fall shades. By next Literary, they will probably have settled the matter and I shall concentrate on them. Jack Brown. I 44 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK .

Hecklespifit, of Princeton, Replies to Si Lowdly's Letter of Last Year Hecklespifit Homestead, Nearly to Princeton, November 35rd, I9 hundred and 35. Dear Si: Well I never Si! I was arful glad to git a letter from yi. ya know us old fogies what never sees nawthin but work and three squares a day, is always glad to hear from local boys who go to the big cities and bring home the bacon. ya sir, ya know the day was kinda rainy and as I ani still a bachelor I took the day off to do a little sewin'. I was divin' into my sewin' basket to git a needle, gosh I got one all right it was in a paper, and when I crumpled up the paper, it stuck plumb into my hand. By gum I was scearedg I jumped back and lit on the old yeller tom cat which scear- ed me more. Anyway Si, the paper the needle was in was your letter. Almost forgot I got it a year ago, but I am answering it now which is bet- ter late than never. Sakes alive Si, ya must be gettin citif'1ed , I never heard ya complain about your red flannels itchin' before and if ya keep on ya will be just a big sissy I figure ya must be takin' too many baths. I'll bet you wash about once a month now instead of a couple of times every summer durin' hayin' and harvest like we do up here. Speakin' of Matilde, Si, I aint been takin' her for buggy rides any more. The last time I took her for a ride, she says to me, she says Hi, ya never talk about anything but your durned old cows and guinea hens, don't ya ever get romantik, dor1't ya see that beautiful moon up thar. I says 'tShor, what be the matter with it. I kinda put her off like, cause I never was much for moons and romantik and stuff. We rode around for a couple of hours more, she said nothing and I said less. I tell ya, Si, the silence was suspendous . I guess you won't know what that thar word means Si. Gorsh Si, we have great fun on the 31st of every month or is it the 41rd. The monthly paper is sent out from some big city in North Ameri- ka. Si ya should hear the news about Mussolmini, they say he is going to take some tanks CI don't know what he has in them, probably some ciderj and some air planes over to Italy. Si Pettinger was talkin' to Deacon Wi- therspoon the other day and said that Mussolmini was going to clean Italy's clock or something. I always thought Mussolmini was a soldier. How PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 55 times do change, he must have gone into the jewelry business. Say Si, I had the time of my life the other night. The boys around the village had a shindig up above Hizzie Wortle's blacksmith shop. Hank Weaver and Jim Lawson was fiddling and Josh Huskin was calliri' off. Everything went fine until a bunch came in from Paris High School. Si, they were dressed funny, everyone of em had on bright colored cloth around their neck called crevatties or somethin', and Si, ya should have seen their pants, the front and back of their pantlegs looked like knives. Shor must be funny people. Gorsh all the boys up here had on clean over- als up here, looked perty good too. Bill Rumbleford an old friend of mine from Paris came in with his girl, he said her name was Dot Sculler or something, shor was pretty. He pointed out Elmer Windle with Barberry Winterby, Jimmy Elton and Elsie Black or was it white, I wouldn't know Si. Then in walks a big feller, I think his name was Dougmas Loss: he was wearin' white overalls and a black jacket with one of them yaller cre- vattees around his neck. Bill Rumbleford told me he were a big society lion down in Paris. Say Si, between me and you, is a society lion very ferochus? Do they keep them in cages? Pretty soon in walks a high-flu- ting guy with a shiny high hat on, someone told me it was Baron Alexander and his girl friend Mary B-B-B-Bg! By gum, there I go again, stutterin'. Now I forget her name. Aint that prevaricatin', just when ya want to re- member something, ya can't for stutterin'. Pretty soon Josh Huskin hollers, Get your partners fer a Sarcasm circle . Well do ya know it took poor Josh about half an hour to get those young fellers and gals from Paris into their right places. As soon as Hank and Jim started to play, a little short feller, Keats Milliner and Odley Brooks put their arms around each other and started to walk madly up and down the floor. I says to him, what ya tryin' to do . I-Ie says they was fox trottin'. Well for the life of me Si, I couldn't see no fox tr0tting'. Well finally Josh got the dance started and all of them started to go the wrong way at the same time. Emerydust Knill and Hazel Folse-se-se-. There I go again Si. Seems like I stutter more and more. Anyway they started to dance fast and Emerydust ketched his toe on a knot in the floor and they both lit in my lap. I guess my face was pretty red becaus Hazel got her arm clock caught in my beard and we had to cut part of my beard off to untangle it. Every time Josh told them to balance on the corner, Harold Beby and Dot What would look stupid like and ask where the corner was. I says K kinda quick likej, I'll never tell. I guess I was too quick for them because they didn't ask me again. Donnie Sim- pleton, or is it Simpsons, was standing watching them dance and was chawin' gum at the rate of about five chaws per second, in fact I guess he was keepin' time to the music. I guess he was mad at me becaus I got kinda flirtie and started to wink at his girl friend. Say now Si aint she the pretty little girl. Maybe you could tell me where she lives so as I could drive Fifi down in the buggy and sorta surprise her. It be quite a way down thar, reckon I would have to start right after dinner. Gee Si! do ya think I am gittin' romantik ? Purty soon the dance broke up and those High School kids walked out to the Governor's Road and every car that passed they would hold up their thumbs and point toward Paris. Must be a new kind of game they learned at Paris. Don't know what the world is comin' to Si, sure hope you don't turn out like them. I guess this will be all for now Si. I see Fifi is over in the pumpkin patch, eatin' some and playing football with the rest. Yours sympathetically, Hiram K. K. Hecklespifit. P.S. Yer ma says ta tell yer she is sendin' more red fiannels. i 56 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Rugbyitis A month or so ago the male of the species at P.H.S. were seized with their annual attack of brain-fever. This time it concerns a game for big, strong, fire-eating warriors who aspire to the ancient and revered title of rugby players. The all-powerful Fifth Csuch conceitl and the weak UD lower forms engage in some rough and tumble massacres every time they feel the urge to imitate the Italians and Ethiopians. We hear that their fVth'sJ motto is We aim to kill but according to all reports their chief problem is to keep from being killed. The thrilled and awed spectators fprobably six pupilsb gaze in won- der at Blow-me-down Chasseur and Throw-me-a-Life-saver'' Eby as they scurry down the field. For the benefit of most of Vth and one or two IB pupils, chausseur is the French translation. The battle ground is called by some funny name, I think it is a gridiron, but the derivation of this word is one of their jealously guarded secrets. Can't-knock-me-down Hickson causes shrieks of excitement as he passes the ball to Can't-stand- Up Moran, who then carefully proceeds to drop it. This usually causes Drawback'l Wells, or is it quarter-back? to tear his hair and foam at the mouth. While he is thus imitating a dog with hydrophobia, Six-footer Gibbons slips between his legs and carries the ball to the opposite end of the gridiron . Then everyone except the sedate Vth form boys yell like Indians holding a war-dance. Fifth, as usual, maintain their usual class- room decorum and merely whisper. Then the fun UD begins all over again. They push, shove, scratch, bump, claw and don'f at all behave like gentlemen. I think it was very rude of Milton Streams to trample all over Dean J ackston and then leer at him so ferociously. I always thought Milton was so polite, but he didn't even say Pardonnez-moi . Any time you notice a curious tangle of arms, legs and other various incidentals of the human anatomy strewn milieu de fFrench againj the gridiron fschool yard to you,J it probably is the rugby team acting play- ful. When the pile is unscrambled, Can't-keep-up Moran severely an- nounces a first down. I can't imagine what a Hrst down is, unless he means that he fell first. I guess that must be it because he is always at the bottom. Thus by geometry, it can easily be proved that he must have fallen first. Quite simple. But my dears, you SHOULD see their gorgeous costumes. A circus is drab compared to these warriors in battle array. Since no one colour could be agreed upon, each would-be murderer wears his own favourite shade. The effect is somewhat dazzling to say the least. Even Bill Mc- Crow's brilliant ties fade into insignificance on the approach of these gau- dy splashes of yellows, greens, purples, etc. Really girls, aren't boys the funniest things imaginable ? A thrilled feminine spectator. On the Air This is Station P.H.S. broadcasting from the one and only intellectual room in the building, the home of mental superiority, the great fifth form! The weather: Foggy, becoming somewhat clearer. Those problems simply can't penetrate. Atmosphere: Sniff! Sniff! 'Foul! Someone open up a few windows. Temperature: Rising. Alex Barron still opposes free trade femphati- callyl. Winds: Breezy bits of scandal continue to seep through cracks and crevices. Fashion Shorts CNot the kind we wear in the gymbz That eternal tri- angle seems popular again. You ought to get it on the neck now. The la- test tips and the most chic angles on hats are on exhibition on the boule- vard any day shortly after or before school hours. Worn heels in silk stockings may be suitably strengthened in emergency by gummed rein- forcements. Runs and ladders in the legs of such articles of clothing can be quickly stopped by moistened soap. When a stocking gets a run, it'S PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 57 on it's last leg. Fashion Notes: The Artist should dress in Canvas. The Gardener in Lawn. The Dairyman in Cheesecloth. The Editor in Print. The Banker in Checks. The Hunter in Duck. The Hairdresser in Haircloth. The Scotchman in Plaids. The Prisoner in Stripes. The Government Official in Red Tape. The Architect in Blueprint. The Minister in Broadcloth. The Jeweller in Cotton. The Undertaker in Crepe. The Barber in Mohair Cdoes he not mow hair?7. It is quite the vogue for boys to wear their ties like streamers long and gay after the fashion of John Gi1pin's cloak. Those who don't take readily to the new style are ably assisted by their more up-to-date school- fellows. Some people are born stylish, others acquire style, still others have it thrust upon them. Beauty Culture: To keep that school-girl complexion, just visit the demonstration rooms in the girls' basement any day at recess-it's absolutely free. For a really appealing, flashing smile, chew our special brand of gum a little while each period. This is usually more successful if not observed by our pedantic instructors. The following letter was received by the editor: Dear Madam: I have a long oval face. Lately I have parted it down the middle, but people say it is not becoming. What shall I do? Worried. Mr. Smith, anxious to know how far his teachings had penetrated, in- quired of the boys how one might obtain a good posture. Elmer enthusias- tically displayed his knowledge and replied: Keep the cows off until it grows up. The reason that women live longer than men is that paint is a good preservative. Wanted: An extra half-hour's sleep in the morning-Donald Simmons. Chocolates. Anything from a five pound box up--D. Schuyler and M. Kennedy. One Memory: Lost on the rugby field a short while ago. Finder please return same to John Moran. Reward. Will the party who snitched Norm Seip's laugh kindly return the said property immediately. We're tired of the substitute. Can P.H.S. students solve these problems? When can a man buy a cap for his knee? Or a key for a lock of his hair? Can his eyes be called an academy, Because there are pupils there? What jewels are found in the crown of your head? What crosses the bridge of your nose? Do you use, in shingling the roof of your mouth The nails at the end of your toes? Can the crook of your elbow be sent to jail? If so, what did he do? Where can you sharpen your shoulder blades? I'm sure I don't know do you? Can you sit in the shade of the palm of your hand? Or beat on the drum of your ear? And if the calf of your leg ate the corn off your foot, Why can't we have corn on our ear? That's all for now but we'll be on the rare again this time next year. Mary Britton. I 58 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK In Praise of Books Books have many and varied uses, depending somewhat on size, weight and flexibility of binding. There is no better weapon with which to miss a serenading tomcat at three o'clock in the morning, and a stout volume is ideal for propping the window open on a hot summer day if you don't mind too many Flies coming in. For wives who are not on speaking terms with huffy husbands, what is more satisfactory than a collection of sermons that one may pretend to read on a long winter evening while the lord lolls in an easy chair and smokes his pipe? It is, of course, advisable to hold the volume right side up and care should be taken not to cry into it. Tears have a tendency to blur fine print. Always use a hanky or a small dishpan. As a door-stop a 500-page volume is at least as ornamental as a brick in a knitted jacket, and not so hard on the toecaps as a hunk of iron paint- ed white. It will be quite as effective as either in keeping the door open when it should be closed and closed when it should be open. 'Those who like to preserve leaves and iiowers will find the pages of a book ideal for pressing purposes. It takes about a week to do the job thoroughly and quite often the stain on the print is too faint to make reading difficult. The tedium of a railway journey can always be avoided by taking a good book along. The travellor can start lookng for it as soon as he dis- covers it has been lost or stolen, and he can keep right on looking till he reaches his destination. He might even enlist the help of the porter, the conductor, the news-agent, but his chances of finding the book are no bet- ter than if he works alone. There are few playthings more pleasing for a baby than a book soft enough to be mauled and thin enough to be chewed. It is true that the toy will probably be short-lived, but is that not so with any toy on which the baby lays his hands ? The right kind of book will give the little fel- low his first taste of literature, though care must be taken that he does not overtax himself. No infant should be allowed to digest more than two chapters of a modern novel at a sitting. The modern practice of giving the baby indestructable picture books is deplorable. It is taking unfair ad- vantage of his innocence and may conceivably lead him to believe he has no stomach for books. As a sleeping powder what could be better than a learned treatise on an uninteresting subject written in long sentences and flavoured with un- familiar words? Those who cannot sleep will find this method of inducing sleep less bewildering than counting sheep and far safer than taking drugs, and there is the added advantage that it can be taken again and again. Every well-furnished home should have a few books on open shelves so that the housewife need not be afraid of having nothing to dust. One or two of the best bindings should be placed in the guest room and should be changed as soon as the taste of the visitor can be guessed. Make sure it's the type of book he won't be tempted to swipe. This by no means exhausts the lists of practical uses to which books may be put. They come in handy as pedestals for low flower-vasesg they can be given as bridge prizes when you are at a loss for a more suitable prizeg they do nobly as Christmas presentsg they can be used to train the dog to carry parcelsg they can be lent to friends who would much rather not have to read themg they can even, if it comes to that, be read by the owner-reading won't hurt the book any and may do the man a world of good. D-M. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 59 Big Game Huntresses Not so very long ago, a very brave Black Shirt Hunter, with a heart of steel, left Italy for Ethiopia. Over his heart he wore a compass present- ed to him by a demure duchess. Due to the Law of Attraction the com- pass needle was deviated and his steps were directed falsely. After much wandering around, he arrived in Gay Paree, sorely puzzled by the course of events. His curious story attracted great publicity in the Paris Star, and Miss Ellen Munroski, a beautiful Russian girl, decided he might be able to assist her and her friend, Miss Janie Talorem, in their bring them back alive campaign in the wilds of P.H.S. After months of primping and fussing, the young ladies announced that they were ready, and the expedition set out with the ammunition bearer, a coloured boy named Jack. As they entered the jungle via the front door of P.H.S., the discordant falsetta laugh of P.H.S.'s one and only wavy haired male hyena greeted them. Terrified, the girls repaired their make-up and resumed their journey into the main hall. Janie caught sight of a poor blonde Martin, who instantly fell a victim to her fair beauty. Ellen, in the meantime, crossed to the water hole, to refresh herself from its cool depths. Suddenly, up sprang a hippo from the other side of the brook. With great alacrity Ellen sprang up and ran toward the rest of the party. In her haste she slipped on the green Moss and fell upon the Barron waste. Jack saw her predicament and instantly brought up rein- forcements of lavender and sweet pea bombs which she cast with amazing accuracy at the poor hippo, who fell an easy victim to her wiles. After the animals had been put in cages, the party decided to dine, and Jack made the little Durham calf into Veall, which they ate with great relish. Janie strolled out of camp after supper, and in the artificial light she glimpsed a giraffe. She was sure that it must CEDbe a giraffe because it had so much neck. As she advanced toward it, it fell on its knees and looked at her mournfully through its glasses, beseeching her to like it a little bit. Janie decided then and there she would keep it for a pet. After a week of unsuccessful hunting the party withdrew from the wilds of P.H.S. to civilization. The hunter remained with Janie for a few weeks and saved her from harm when she fell into a Wellfsb. Then his good deeds finished, he decided to return to Britton despite the earnest pleadings of Ellen and Janie, our two little dispensers of charm. Two petites Humorettes. P.S. Ellen and Janie are willing to give pointers in charm to any who wish them. An Ode to Mousie, My Cat CWith apologies to my contemporiesj. You all have heard of love, so noble and fine But have you ever heard of love like mine, So passionate, so consuming and so grand, Was there ever love like this between cat and man? She has the loveliest long gray fur, And the sweetest mouth and the nicest purrg And as she pussy-foots around the house, She gaily pretends she has caught a mouse. She steals like a raven, I hear Wifey say, But she even does that in a very nice way, No hurry or rush, as some cats do, But a refined way of grabbing the meat from the stew. Oh yes! she's a darling, she can't be beat, With her lovely green eyes, and her dainty white feet, And the way she scratches if some dog she does meet, Oh yes! I am sure she can't be beat. She is not a beauty of any great note, She is not worthy of even one vote, But she is the only cat, this side of the sea, In fact, the only cat, in the world for me.

This in- vention of their fertile brains is intended as a direct rebuff to those pre- sumptive females who think that their Idiotic Association of Gigglers is the only organization at P.H.S. lt was only the natural modesty of the boys that kept this club in seclusion, at least until after the girls appeared on the scene. But now the truth must be out. With the usual masculine scorn for flowery phrases, so dear to femi- nine hearts the boys chose the simple, yet appropriate title The Ancient. Dishonourable Order of the Sons of Rest. Realizing that many of the boys at P.H.S. were beginning to display a wholly unnatural desire for work, the Sons of Rest determined to combat this heinous habit. A certain Htiek Rellim QI always get it backwards! coming to school with his homework done provided the necessary spark and war was declared. The Master Loafer CBon Himrnonsj was in com- plete accord with the suggestion of the Lazy Scribe CFlancis Redhamy that a drive for new members be instituted. Yet they feel that only those fired with righteous zeal can ever hope to undergo the rigid tests imposed by the Council of the Sleepy Seven . He who survives is truly a Son of Rest. Space permits me to mention only a few of the necessary require- ments of an idealistic Son of Rest. C13 The candidate must on no account appear wide awake or industri- ousg he must sleep at least half every period. The ideal candidate will sag lazily in his seat and gaze with lazy unconcern around thc room, on no account listen to the teacher. If the aforesaid yells at you, blink lazily, obtain an injured air from someplace, put it on your face, shrug your shoulders resignedly, and then proceed to go to sleep again. It is prefer- able to sleep with your feet on a level with the desk ahead of you. In this way perhaps the victim in the next seat may be pursuaded to accompany 1 4 62 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK you into the arms of Morpheus. Who knows? Q23 Never do any homework. Home is a place to rest and work is to bc avoided. You may, if you so desire, lug a small volume out of the room, if the teacher is looking it is a swell idea, but only on pain of death will you take it home. Leave it in the hall as near the door as possible so you won't have far to transport it. Detention gives the true Son of Rest a chance to display this art in all its serene perfection. On entering the Detention Form, incidentally a Son of Rest will enter it often, the candidate will choose a seat at the back where the Teacher can't see you. Arrange yourself comfortably, close your eyes and rest. A sonorous snore helps create an atmosphere, in complete harmony with the cheerful air pervading Detention , and also attracts much favourable attention. Thus a very cheerful hour should be enjoyed unless some unforeseen occurrence disturb the perfect serenity so common to a S.O.R. Although we admit that the Gigglers had more promising material on which to work, nevertheless we are determined to surpass by far any of their petty records. The Sons of Rest is the most exclusive and dishon- ourable club in the school. I know because I am A Member.

To these faithful friends we wish to convey our appreciation and we ask our read- ers to patronize these merchants who have so unselfishly co-operated with us. Once again the Paris Branch of the Canadian Legion has donated prizes to the pupils of P.H.S. for the best essays on How can Canada Con- tribute towards World Peace? We heartily thank the Legion for the in- terest they take in us, the students of P.H.S. We realize without the aid and advice of our staff-advisers, Mr. But- cher and Mr. Smith, our work would have been much more difficult. To them we wish to express our thanks. And yet, any expression of appreci- ation is far from being complete unless we mention Miss Telfer. She it was who gave so generously of her time and labor to type all our material. The staff of the school again displayed a keen interest in our literary education. We thank them for the generous prizes they donated for achievements in the literary Held. Through your efforts a greater love for fine literature has risen within us. Thank you, staff. The Committees wish to draw to your attention the list of ten ques- tions entitled, Can You Figure These Out? which are found amongst the advertising. We suggest that you look these questions over carefully. To the first five of our readers sending in the correct answers to the Chair- man of the Business Committee, a free Year Book will be given. May we thank the members of our various committees for their valu- able assistance in the preparation of this Year Book. Their untiring ef- forts were instrumental in making this Year Book the success it is. NORMAN J. SEIP, GLENN H. TAYLOR, Chairman of Business Committee. Chairman of Editorial Committee.
