Such was the announcement that heralded the entrance of a tiny, dark-haired baby into this great big world. Her parents studied the situation, and decided that England was not quite large enough in which to raise a child, especially a girl. Thus it was that at nine months of age little Rita set out for the wide open Canadian spaces. Paris, Ontario, was her chosen destination. When she was five years old Rita commenced her educational career at Paris Central School. After a few short years she finished her public schooling, passing with first class honours and capturing second prize in the Board of Education scholarship awards. During the five hectic years spent at Paris High School she delighted many audiences with her beautiful piano solos, and many a crowd with tastefully prepared lunches Cshe served on lunch committee after lunch committeeb. Now her high school days come to an end. Rita won the Latin Scholarship donated by Dr. Geoffrey Bell in honour of his father. She graduates this year with the best wishes of the '37 graduating class. She is now attending Day's Business College in Brantford. Good luck pal! Keep your chin up! E. J. P. Ru, 'B

PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 3 Message jfrum the Baath uf Duration Again we wish to extend congratulations to those graduating from our school, and to wish them every success. May we urge them to continue their educational endeavours, whether in college, in the store, or in the fac- tory. Although many services have been curtailed or discontinued during the recent period of unrest, those of education have been continued without in- terruption. For this, governments and educational organizations are to be commended, and those interested should be grateful. The importance of education is thoroughly recognized because of its past record, and no sacrifice must be considered too great to continue its excellent services. Its value cannot be estimated in terms of dollars and cents, and its dividends can best be stated in terms of endowment to indi- viduals of character, judgement and knowledge. At this season of the year, we extend to the pupils and staff of our High School our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. F. H. Jeffery, On behalf of the Board. Board of Education ..Dr. F. H. Jeffery, Chairman Dr. Austin Dunton A. Clarke Mowat Dr. W. J. Gould Roy Schuyler Charles McCausland H. G. Simmons J. T. Mogan Erle Taylor George L. Telfer

.1 .4 5 IL, PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 5 VERA MARGUERITE BRADLEY One day, back in 1916, a certain Haxen haired infant made it quite clear by much cooing and crowing that that day, August 10th, was of public interest if for no other reason than her arrival. She was Vera Marguerite, daughter of Mrs. Bradley and the late James Bradley. Her earlier years were occupied by dolls and mud pies and numerous other matters of interest to the very young. At the age of six she entered Paris Public School. From here she graduated in 1929, and continued her quest for knowledge in the halls of good old P.H.S. She obtained her Ju- nior Matriculation in 1935 and left school. On thinking over the matter of education seriously Vera decided to re- turn to school last fall and now has completed her Honour Matriculation. Throughout her sojourn at P.H.S. Vera was immensely popular. She held the offices of Treasurer and Critic in the Literary Society, and this year was successful in carrying off the Modern History Scholarship awarded by the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire. At present she is attending lVIcMaster University. We all join in wish- ing her much success and happiness. 4 I 5 'I J.K.M. ,gg gb MILTON L. G. BROOKS On Nov. 8th., 1917, a second son came to bless the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney B. Brooks in Burford Township. After due consideration, for it was an important question, the proud and happy parents decided to call this lit- tle blessing Milton. And so it was. For five years Milton lived at home, but in 1922 he was seized with Wanderlust and decided to move. Thus it was that the Br0ok's family took up their abode south of Paris. The following year Milton entered Public School where he soon demonstrated his ability in the three R's. In 1930, de- sirous of attaining even greater scholastic heights, he enrolled at Paris High School. For six years Milton worked diligently till at last his efforts were rewarded and he became the proud possessor of his Sr. Matriculation. During his stay at P.H.S. Milton took a prominent part in school activi- ties. He was President of the P. H. S. Choir during the first year of its ex- istence. Besides his musical C?j duties he found time to assist on the staff of the Quill, to take part in Field Day and last but not least to win the Ma- thematics Scholarship for 1937. - Milton is at present taking First year Science at Queen's University, Kingston. We shall expect to hear great things from him in the future, and there is every indication that he- will more than fulfil the expectations of his many P. H. S. friends. G. H. J.
