When she was nine years old, her parents moved to a farm near Paris, and, not liking to burden anyone else with the care of mischievous Barbara, took her with them. At the age of seven she entered the Paris Central School, and after spending six years there she entered the halls of Paris High School, where she took an active part in the sports and literary Work of the school. She was Intermediate Girl Champion once and Senior Champion twice. She held office in the Girls' Athletic Society sev- eral times, and was president last year. She was on the school basketball team for four years. She also took an interest in the Literary Society. In her early years at High School she was on the staff of The Quill.

Watt of South Dumfries Township. - Her early childhood was spent happily on her father's farm where in her spare time she engaged herself in feeding the chickens and driving the cows. At the tender age of five, deciding she wanted an education, Dorothy enrolled at Maus Public School and received her Entrance Certificate in 1931. In the fall of the same year she entered Paris High School. During the six years spent behind its portals Dorothy entered with great enthus- iasm into school life and was on the staff of the Quill for the fall term of 1936 and the Spring of 1937. Dorothy graduated in June, 1937, with complete Junior Matriculation and Honour Matriculation in 8 subjects. At present she is remaining at home and we all wish her every success in whatever career she may undertake. M, C, W, ,.,, T......

He passed his entrance with honours in 1932, and in the fall of that year, entered P. H. S. to continue his studies. During the five years spent in P. H. S., Jack took an active part in school activities. He was critic of the literary programs for one term and took leading roles in the last two Commencement plays. Last year he was chair- man of the business committee of the Year Book and did much towards making it a success. - Jack is now taking a mechanical engineering course at University of Toronto. J.

PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 15 GLENN H. TAYLOR His smiling face and cheerful voice Dispelled the gloom everywhere. Out in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, on May 31, 1917, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Taylor were blessed with the gift of a son whom they called Glenn. Glenn's adventurous life led the family to move to Eston, Saskatchewan. It was here that Glenn's mother died in 1922. Shortly after the Taylor family established their domicilefin Drumbo, Ontario. The next year Glenn com- menced his education at Drumbo Public School and passed his entrance in 1930. After attending Drumbo Continuation School, he came in 1934 to the Paris High School Halls of learning. Glenn played an important part in athletics at Paris, and is now on the tennis team of Western University. Glenn excelled in English. In 1934 he won the Paris Legion Essay Contest, and also a prize for a short story. He was awarded the Helen Smith Scho- larship for proficiency in English in the June examinations of 1935. Glenn was Editor-in-chief of the P.H.S. Year Book published in December 1935. This proved to be the most successful P.H.S. Year Book up to that time. For the Fall Term of 1936 Glenn was President of the Literary Society. He was a very popular student at Paris High, and worked willingly and cheerfully at anything assigned to him. At present Glenn is in his first year of Eng- lish at Western, and we all know he is going to make good. We're all wishing you the best of luck Glenn. ,751 y, I M. L. G. B. X! .K gl-LIT MABEL ELEANOR TAYLOR My it's hot flying around up here. That yard down there looks nice and shady. I believe I'll rest there for awhile, said the stork to himself on the sixteenth day of August. But lo when he resumed his journey, he had left his shopping bag, and thus the yard of Mr. A. S. Taylor was cluttered C?J with a white parcel. When Mr. and Mrs. Taylor undid the wrappings of this peculiar looking bundle, they found a smiling little black-haired girl whom they christened Mabel Eleanor. Mabel troubled her parents for six yearsg then thinking that Edication would tame her down, they sent her off to Keg Lane School. Did Edication take the pep out of her? Decided- ly NO! She topped the class and passed her entrance with honours. At High School her funny bone, giggle and sunny disposition gained for her many friends. In studies she was hard to match, and this year cap- tured half the scholarship awarded for French. Mabel excelled also in Athletics. She was our Athletic representative in forms III, IV and V successively, and was a swell guard on the school Basketball team. This year she is fitting herself for the business world at Day's Business College. Best of Luck Mabel in the career which you have chosen! V. M. P.
