We can not tell whether this is the beginning of an era of peace or but a truce. In these troublous times when people are thinking deeply concerning the relative merits of democracies and dictatorships, principals naturally re-examine their methods of administration. Shall they have regimenta- tion? Shall they train a generation to obey without thinking? This is much easier for both teachers and students but it is contrary to our Anglo- Saxon ideals. If the school is to be run on democratic principles, there must be very great respect for precedents. Youth is naturally radical. This radicalism, unguided and uncontrolled, leads to anarchy, which is just as objectionable as the unquestioning obedience of the people of the totalitarian states. lt is difficult, very difficult, for teachers to guide without destroying initiative, to allow freedom without license and to train students to think independ- ently and constructively. There is a real danger that conscientious teach- ers will sacrifice health in their endeavour to carry out these ideals. In the future, extra-curricular activities will play a still greater part in the development of the character of our students. The new course of studies demands so much of the teachers in their classroom work that it is quite impossible to have as many after school activities as we would wish. Boards of Education may well consider the advisability of increasing their stais to provide more teacher-time for the teaching of options and the di- rection of special activities that do so much to develop character and dis- tinctive personality. The present generation of high school students will soon have thrust upon them the very great responsibility of maintaining personal liberty in Canada. If they fail to give constructive leadership, if they fail to perform fully their duties as citizens, Canada will drift towards fascism or com- munism. Surely this is the lesson to be learned from the tragic European events of 1938. The old order changeth, yielding place to new. C. Ward Butcher. 1' md' g x 4 THE STAFF Top Dorothy B.

It is a fine thing to have this book, which will bring back memories in years to come of the best years in a student's life, and our thanks are due to the teachers and scholars who have labored so diligently for the success of the 1938 Year Book.

Cn a memorable day in December, 1918-the thirtieth to be exact- there came into the world a blue-eyed baby girl, soon to be known as Evelyn lone Bee, and later as Buzz. Soon this little girl learned how to creep, and before long she was trudging off to the Stone School near Paris. For a year Evelyn left her friends at the Stone School and went to Heglance Creek, just outside of Toronto, where she attended school for a year. Then she returned, and after successfully passing her Entrance in 1932 she entered the portals of P. H. S. where she acquired many friends as well as knowledge. She graduates this year with the best wishes of the '38 graduating class. She is now attending Day's Business College in Brantford. Good Luck pal! G.M.S. KATHLEEN ETHELWYN BUTCHER Kathleen, better known by us as Katy made her first appearance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Ward Butcher on November 9, 1920. In April 1927, Katy began her academic career by entering Paris Cen- tral School. In September, 1933, after graduating from public school with honours, Kathleen enrolled at Paris High School. After Hve years of high school life, where she always ranked highly not only in studies but also in social activities, she now graduates taking with her not only the local scholarship for mathematics but also the Sir Sandford Fleming Scholarship in Mathematics given by Queen's University. During her sojourn with us, Kathleen acted as Secretary of the Liter- ary Society for two seasons. She was also Editor-in-Chief of the 1937 Year Book and was a prominent guard on our basketball team for three years. Now she leaves us to commence a course in mathematics at Queen's University, Kingston. Best of luck, Katy, in your chosen career! R. M. G. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 5 MARY ELIZABETH CAMERON Great was the excitement and great was the cause for excitement at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Cameron of West Lorne, Ontario, on June 19, 1920, when the birth of twins was announced, Mary Elizabeth and Wil- liam Bruce known far and wide as Betty and Billy. After six years of en- tertaining each other the twins entered school in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to amuse the teachers there for a few years before moving to Brantford, On- tario, where they passed their Entrance. Betty entered High School in Paris in 1934, and in her four years here her sunny disposition and blonde hair won her many friends both feminine and masculine. She was an all-round student and sport, having served on the Girl's Athletic Executive and on the staff of the Quill, and having played forward on the Girl's Basketball and Hockey Teams. Having completed her Junior Matriculation here, Betty is now attend- ing Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby. To say that you will be missed, Betty, is to put it mildlyg but we wish you every success and happiness in whatever you may undertake in the future. F.L.S. EVELYN MURIEL CASSADY Here is a spirit deep, and crystal clear, Calmly beneath her earnest face it lies, Free without boldness, meek without a fear, Quicker to look than speak her sympathies. . -Evelyn Muriel eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Cassady, first awakened to the light of day on May 20, 1920, in uthe prettiest town in Canada -Paris. Seven years later this charming little blue-eyed blonde started up the Upath of knowledge to South Ward School. Her eager quest for know- ledge speedily swept her along to Queen's Ward School in 1929 and to Central School in 1932, through the Entrance with honours in 1933, and brought her to the threshold of P. H. S. September, 1933, found her conquering new fields of learning in P. H. S. During her sojourn there, her quiet manner and ready wit won her a host of friends. Casey, as she was often called, took a keen interest in school life. She served as form reporter of the Quill for the spring term of 1937, and was a member of the Editorial Committee of the Year Book in 1937. In 1934, while Evelyn was in Second Form, she was the winner of the Legion Essay Contest. This November she is graduating with full Junior Matriculation and Honour Matriculation in five subjects. She will also receive the I.O.D.E. King George V. scholarship in Modern History and the Dr. Bell Memorial Scholarship in Latin. Now she leaves the halls of P. H. S. to continue her studies as an Hon- our student in First Year Arts Course at Western University. We wish her every success! R,P,W, 6 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK GORDON STUART COWAN Sandy-we never called him anything but Sandy-was born in Dru.rn- bo on December 25, 1917. When4his mother could no longer endure his mischievous ways she decided to send him to school. Thus it happened that Sandy entered the halls of Drumbo Public School. There he passed his Entrance in June, 1932. After spending four years in the Drumbo Con- tinuation School he journeyed to Paris for his Senior Matriculation. Dur- ing his two years there, he assisted in the school choirg in 1937 he was among those from P. H. S. who sang at the Music Festival in Toronto. He acted as Marshal for the Literary Society one term. Stuart was always keenly interested in sports and invariably was fore- most in basketball, baseball and hockey. At present Stuart is helping his father on their farm east of Drumbo. We wish him lots of luck! J. E. H. , EOIN ALISTER CURRIE It is worthy of note that Eoin Currie's life began at his birth. From the first it could be seen that characer development had set in. Advisors of the young child were not worried about this condition, and fortunately his character developed only along shady lines. When development was great enough to merit public notice, he was confronted by the problems of education. Lack of proper facilities for comfort and pleasure made him quite uneasy in the schools of Ayr and Galt. Paris however was found to be entirely satisfactory and here he found it hard not to fail in some subjects. He therefore dropped a few subjects at Christmas for the sake of principle. Mention must here be made of the strange human beings who were the objects of his devotion during his scholastic career. The aforementioned were chiefly young lad- ies of the wholesome type. They were a constant joy to his young soul. Noteworthy points in his life: Born-September 15, 1919. Place of Birth-Tara, Ont. Parental Residence-Ayr, Ont. He now spends most of his time at London Medical School where he is conducting research into the question, Why people drink so many cokesf' D. C. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 7 RITA MARY GRANTON On Jan. 24, 1920, the troubles of Mr. and Mrs. John Granton were further increased by the advent of a baby daughter, Rita. For six years she romped and played in perfect ignorance of the trying days of study ahead. In September 1926, her parents started her on the royal road to learning at the Sacred Heart School. Shefmarched steadily onward, winning many friends with her cheery smile. .In 1933 she made a long jump and landed right in P. H. S. From then dn it was plain sailing. She was soon a gen- eral favourite. In her last year, as a mik of their esteem, the girls elected her president of the Athletic Society. She made an admirable pre- sident. Rita was always fond of sports. She played on the basketball team for three years and was captain for the last two. She has picked nursing as her life work and in February of next year she hopes to enter St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton. I'm sure we all wish her plenty of success and many kind patients. K.E.B. JEAN ELIZABETH HAINES Full many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Not so with Jean-born on January 29, 1920. The sixth Concession saw much cause for rejoicing on that memorable day. Jean ruled the roost at home for five years and on her next birthday she felt old enough to start tr Drumbo Public School. Here she spent many happy days, and in 1933, at the age of thirteen, passed her Entrance with honours. The next four years she attended the Drumbo Continuation School, where during those years, her work was of a very high grade. Having decided to continue along the road to knowledge she spent one year at the Paris High School. She has chosen as her life work the task of caring forthe sick. She enters the Wood- stock Hospital the first of February to begin her training. We all wish you success, Jean, in your chosen profession. G.S.C. FRANCES MARILYN KITCHEN Frances Marilyn Kitchen first saw the light of day in Brantford, the eventful day of November 15, 1921. At a tender age Frances became a pupil of Echo Place Public School. However, far fields beckoned and three years later she had the great for- tune to be away out in Sunny California. The following year Frances mov- ed back to Canada choosing Huntsville as her home. It was here that Fran- 8 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK ces passed her Entrance in 1932. The next year Jarvis Collegiate opened its doors to this young globe- trotter. She attended Jarvis for a year, coming to good old Paris High School in 1933. V At Paris Frances was an outstanding athlete and an asset to the school. At the 1934 Held meet, she was Junior Champion, she established a name for herself on the cinder track, and in 1935 she set a standing broad jump record at the Waterloo games. Frances was also interested in basketball, and for a year she was a m 7' of the school team. At present Frances is attending Humberside Colle me in Toronto, where she intends to com- plete her High School studies. We are sorry to have Frances leave us, but we certainly wish her the best of luck in her studies. May success be hers in the years to come! E. D. M. DOROTHY LUCILE KITCHEN May 11, 1920. On display at Brantford, Ontario, Dorothy Lucile Kit- chen. Age-one day. P. S.-Not for sale. Thus ran the announcement sent out by Mr. and Mrs. Kitchen on the eventful date mentioned above. When Lucile reached the age of reason ffive yearsj she sallied forth to tread the long hard path of learning. Four years later, much to the sor- rows of friends and teachers, Lucile took leave of Brantford, heading due south for California, where she spent a year. But the Wilds of Canada called her again, the following year found her residing in Huntsville. Luci1e's first taste of higher learning came when she attended Jarvis Collegiate, Toronto, in 1932-33. In 1933, Paris opened its arms to the Kitchen family, and especially to sunny-natured blonde Lucile. Here, she attended Ye Olde P. H. S. Dur- ing her sojourn in these famed halls of learning, she gave unstintingly of her time and ability to make all P. H. S. social affairs successful. She served on innumerable committees. In Lucile's last year, she was a valuable member of the Girls' Basket- ball team, and was Vice-President of the Girls' Athletic Society. Now, much to our sorrow, Lucile has again changed her abode to T0- ronto where she expects to enter soon the nursing profession. May I join with all Lucile's friends in wishing her every success and happiness in the future. M. A. M. 1' V - Nw . ' ,N Q wnqu .

Early life in the country was not enough to satisfy the curiosity of Barbara Mary, so, with the Easter lilies in full bloom, off she journeyed to Muma School. In 1931 she graduated with honours, the following year en- tered Ayr Continuation School, and in 1937 completed her Junior Matricula- tion at Paris High School. With thoughts of a business career, Barbara turned her every diligent efforts to a business course and graduated with a Commercial Diploma in 1938. Barbara is now working in the office of the Spring Valley Dairy. We wish her the best of everything that life can give. Her smile, her sweet and charming way, Turn clouds to sunshine, night and day. D.I.L. ELIZABETH DARLING MUIR Two years after the moaning of the guns in the Great War stopped, another moaning and squawling of a different kind pushed to the fore - in the Muir household, anyway. It was the momentous arrival of Bettie on a bright sunny day in June, the 26th to be exact. In spite of the noise she made, she was an affectionate little thing and pleased the folk of Fort Myers, Florida, fthe place of the birthj, so much that her parents chose Darling for her second name. Destiny meant Bettie to be a Canadian though, and she began her trek northward when she was just a year old. After moving about this con- tinent considerably, the Muir family settled down in Paris where Bettie decided to acquire some knowledge, so she entered Central School. She graduated from that school in 1933, and in the fall of that year entered our famed halls of learning. Her stay at Paris High was a very profitable one indeed. Besides ac- quitting herself well in class, Bettie served on the staff of the Quill, was an enthusiastic entrant on various field meets, and played on the Girl's Basketball Team. Bettie is at present attending the Comptometer School in Toronto. All your classmates wish you loads of luck! C. R. W. 10 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK HAZEL ANGELINE PEARSON About eight miles from Paris, on August 19, 1920, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Pearson was made happy by the arrival of a little bundle of charm in the person of Hazel Angeline. At the age of six, she began her school career at Perley's school. Af- ter attending various schools, she went back to Perley's and passed her Entrance. In 1934, she entered Paris High Schol, but it was not until two years ago that she finally moved to Paris. She has completed her Junior Matriculation. At present she is employed at the White Horse Tavern. M. O. R. MARION OSBORNE ROSS On May l1,l920, Marion Osborne Ross graced the town of Paris with her tiny presence. Six years of joy and freedom, however, abruptly ended as she entered Central School to begin her search for knowledge. Years passed. Marion then ambled her carefree, fun loving way through Paris High School. Her dream of a nursing career has been rudely shattered by an unfor- tunate accidentg but we wish Marion luck in Whatever task she may choose or wherever she may be in years to come. H.A.P. GLADYS PAULINE SCHUYLER Yes-that howling was too loud for one-it was twins. From that day, September 29, 1920, grew the worries of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Schuyler. When Gladys was six years old, Mrs. Schuyler became disgusted with her bad behaviour and sent her to the Block School. There she learned the three R's to perfection and passed her entrance with flying colors in 1933. During her stay at High School, Gladys won many honors in athletics and served more than once as Form Representative in that Society. At the same time, she maintained a high standing in all her studies and in June, 1937, won the Helen Dixon Smith Scholarship in English. Gladys is remaining at home at present but I am sure her many friends wish her the best of luck in any course she shall choose. A.B.B. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 11 GRACE MURIEL SCHUYLER September 29, 1920-a momentous day in the life of Mr. and Mrs. Del- bert Schuyler, for two small mites of humanity came to their home and de- cided to stay. The twins as they are affectionately called were Grace and Gladys. Grace attended public school near St. George for a few years, long enough to find out the meaning of the word school, A few years later the Schuyler family decided to move and Grace na- turally followed them, living on a farm a mile south of Falkland. Grace at- tended Block School and graduated from there with honours in 1933. Grace then took a very important step, for in September, 1933, she en- rolled in that great Hall of Learning, Paris High School, from where she graduated with Junior and Honour Matriculation in June, 1938. This year Grace is staying at home. May you be successful in whatever career you may choose Grace, and always remember, Laugh and the world laughs with you. E.I.B. WILLIAM EDWARD STOCKTON William Edward Stockton was born in Brantford on August 16, 1919. The following year his parents moved to Mt. Pleasant, and it was here that Bill started his school career in 1925. On October 1, 1928, the family moved to Paris where Bill continued his education at the Paris Central School. In June, 1932, he was successful in passing his Entrance, and in September of the same year he entered Paris High School. During his years at P.H.S. Bill took a prominent part in all athletics. In 1937 he was a runner-up for the Senior Athletic championship. In 1938 when the W.O.S.S.A. basketball team won the championship, he was an outstanding member of that team. In the same year he also played on the W.O.S.S.A. hockey team. It was not only in the sports of the school that Bill took a prominent part. He was treasurer of the Literary Society for the fall term of 1937, and was an exceedingly capable business manager for the 1937 Year Book. He was a very popular student at P.H.S. and worked diligently and cheerfully at anything asigned to him. Bill is now continuing his studies at Queen's University where he is taking a course in engineering. We all wish him the very best of luck. J .G.F. 12 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK IVAN WESLEY WATT Ivan Wesley, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Watt, was born June 2nd, 1918, on his father's farm north of Paris. His career, which began at the age of six, took him first to Maus' School and then, upon passing his Entrance in 1931, to Paris High School. Here he played a prominent part in the athletics of the school, and in 1935 played on the Senior W.O.S.S.A. basketball team. In the term of 1936-37 he left school to help on the farm, bfft returned in 1937. He is now helping his father on their farm, where we hope the outdoor life will bring him success and happiness. J .G.F. RUBY PEARL WATTS In Paris, Ontario on November 19, 1920, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Watts were presented with the gift of a bonny daughter whom they later named Ruby Pearl. The following August the family moved to the farm two miles north of Paris. Here Ruby managed affairs until at the age of five she was com- pelled to leave home and begin her school career. She attended Maus's School until she passed her Entrance in 1932. In August, 1933, the family moved back to Paris, residing on Capron Street. Again in April 1938. Ruby moved back to another farm north of Paris. During her stay at P. H. S. Ruby was quite active in school affairs.

All her friends join in wishing her every success in her chosen profession. E. M. C. WALTER MAURICE WINTEMBERG Who said that Friday the thirteenth was unlucky? It can't be, for it was on that day and date of December 1918 that Walter Maurice Wintem- berg came into being in Detroit, Michigan. It was not until September 1925 that Walter felt the urge for learning, when he entered Lingemann School in Detroit, where he stayed until 1929. Then, since the noise of that great metropolis, etc., was too much for him, he moved to Ayr, Ontario. Here he continued his education at the Public and Continuation Schools until 1936, when he graduated with complete Junior Matriculation. In 1937 Walter attended Galt Collegiate. During his year at P.H.S. Walter entered every sphere of activity. He played on the boy's basketball team, and was treasurer of the Literary So- ciety for the Spring Term. Walter is now attending Wayne University in Detroit, with high hopes of obtaining a degree in Chemical Engineering. Good luck Wint!-We Wish you every success in the future. F.L.S.

On September 3, 1918, a little fair headed girl, Dorothy Isabel by name, decided she would spend that period of time known as life with Mr. and Mrs. George Leishman, Paris. After spending seven years of joyful childhood, Dorothy was seized by a longing to be a member of the Great Halls of Learning. Thus on one bright September morning in 1925, she tripped off to Central School. She passed her Entrance with honours in 1933. ' Dorothy climbed another rung of life's ladder when she entered Paris High School, where her cheerful disposition and willingness to lend a hand won many friends.

The Prophecy, 1938. by Gladys Schuyler. 7 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 15 DORIS MARJORIE SHANNON Doris Marjorie, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Shannon, was born at Paris, Ontario, on October 7, 1919. At the age of six, she began her education at Paris Central School, leaving its portals in 1934 to attend High School. During her first year at P.H.S., she entered Field Day events and succeeded in winning the Intermediate Championship. Doris proved herself a student as well renowned in the halls of learning as in the sporting world, and this year her efforts were well rewarded with a Commercial Diploma. We wish her every success in the future. G.B.B. NON -GRADUATES OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL WHO LEFT DURING 1938 Muriel Barrett C3 Middle School papers!-Moved to near Brantford.

To-night we stand on the threshold! We stand there waiting! To be asked in! Life is a river! We must meet it boldly! Hope, Courage and high purpose thrill our hearts. We cannot tear aside the veil that hides the future from our view. Before us lies the world! We accept it! Grave are the responsibilities of the trust! As we look back over the past, there comes floating back to us many treasured memories of one, bright September day back in 1932 when we first entered this splendid school. That day and for many months afterwards we were frightened, little creatures who gazed wide-eyed at the haughty fifth-formers. Would We ever reach the top of the ladder? We asked our- selves. Before we realized it the leaves were slipping off the calendar and we were gliding upwards, mastering our bashfulness along with the intricacies of Middle and Upper school subjects. Perhapsidistance lends enchantment to these scenes and we are inclined to forget the seemingly endless hours during which we poured over text books, worried over examinations or puzzled over an Algebra question. But none of these things canfikthe sweet memories of Field Days, Literary Meetings, School Dances, our At Homes and basketball games. In an incredibly short time we had reached the flaming beacon toward which we had striven-Graduation. Then it was, and not until then, did we truly realize that we must leave our beloved school and all its dear associa- tions. To the Board of Education, and to the citizens of Paris who ably sup- port it, the graduating class would like to express its sincere appreciation. Perhaps in no way is the Board's interest more strikingly shown than in their selection of the teaching staff. Mr. Butcher, our capable principal, and all the teachers have done a great deal to make our path of knowledge a smoother and pleasanter road to travel. Their friendly suggestions and eagerness to lend a helping hand either in or out of class periods, always en- couraged us in our efforts. Mr. Tate also came to occupy a warm place in our hearts because he never passed without some cheery remark. I think that the graduating class of this year will forever cherish the memory of Paris High School for yet another reason than merely that of ac- quiring knowledge. For many of us it is the only connecting link of our lives. On that bright September morning back in '32 we came face to face with many youthful strangers who are now our dearest friends. Through- out our years at P. H. S. we worked together, played together and firmly moulded together the bonds of friendships that will become to all more en- during as time passes. As these treasured pitcures fade away, we arouse ourselves to the grim reality of the present. It is true that this is our farewell, and yet we cherish the thought, to-night, that we have a school and friends to which we hope PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 17 to return many times in the future. To you who remain, we hand over the responsibilities of upholding the honour and traditions of our school. Remember to stand upon your honour and play the game . This last phrase recalls the words of Sir Henry Newbolt's poem, The Torch of Life. This is the word that year by year, While in her place the school is set, Every one of her sons must bear, And none that hears it dare forget, This they all with a joyful mind Bear through life like a torch in flame, And falling fling to the host behind- Play up! Play up! and play the Game! Ruby P. watts. THE GRADUATES We come to these halls with wonder and awe And a desire for knowledge aflame. We have run the course through from beginning to end, And now our diplomas we claim. The years have slipped by both pleasant and short, The friends we have made are not few. We soon will depart with a long backward glance And bid all these pleasures adieu. We have had to work hard, now we're glad we've not shirked Our rewards we are claiming to-day. A mere sheet of paper with a black and red bow To be treasured and stored away. Perhaps we will seldom look o'er them again Except for a fleeting glance. For we're seeking the higher realm where but few Have even a ghost of a chance. A. B. B. UNIVERSITY PRIZES Elsie Black-First Prize for Romance Languages at Western University. fS75.00b.

Twice yearly. elections are held. The student body chooses a nominating committee which suggests nominees for the Society's executive. Then, by vote of the student body, pupils are elected to fill the different offices in the Society. The Hnal decision in any issue rests with the student body. The Literary meetings are presented in turn by the various forms. At the opening meetings, the newcomers to the school are initiated. For their initiation, the newcomers must sing, recite, or play a musical number. The other forms of the school then present their meetings, which consist of hu- morous dialogues and instrumental numbers. There is much friendly rivalry among the forms, each form endeavoring to present a better program than the other. For this reason the programmes reach a high literary standard. The Literary Society plays a large part in the school life. An Armis- tice service is held in memory of those who gave their lives for their coun- try. The pupils are occasionally addressed by outside speakers. Many social functions, such as the At Homen are held under the Society's auspices. The Year Book which records the activities of the school is sponsored by the Literary Society. The Literary Society wishes to thank its many friends and solicits their continued patronage and good will. D Charles Barnes. Junior Nigh t Acting as chairman, Principal C. Ward Butcher offered a cordial wel- come to the large number of students, accompanied by their parents and friends, who attended the Junior Night Exercises held in the gymnasium of Paris High School on Friday evening, February 11, 1938. Mr. Butcher ex- tended a brief sketch of the evening's performance and the hope that the evening would prove satisfactory in showing the various things taught the pupils in the course of a year. During the short interval preceding the opening of the program, sev- eral talented pianists, including Doris Shannon, Joyce Emerson, Audrey Sibbick, and Muriel Wise, favoured the audience with a few well-given selections. Shortly after, the curtains were drawn back to present Mr. Peter Bernhardt's class of IXB, or as it was formerly known IB boys, in PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 19 an exhibiton of tumbling. As was shown in all the succeeding events, the quick response to the trainer's whistle was the main feature of the actions Following this the boys of Forms II. and Junior Commercial presented a ser- ies of pyramid formations, which were the result of long and possibly ted- ious, practice by both trainer and pupils. The quick applause of the audience was given to the folk dance, Tan- toli provided by the girls of Form IXA to the accompaniment of June Clancy. Attired in black and white sport clothing, twelve of the Form II and Junior Commercial girls gave a gymnastic showing, ending with a short but grace- ful dance. Eileen Lee played soft and appropriate music. The Senior Commercial students took charge of the next portion of the program, devoting their part to an interesting exhibition of Shorthand and Typing. An explanatory talk on the origin and development of shorthand was given by Dorothy Leishman, who said that Isaac Pitman, the originator, discovered this great system, by merely drawing a circle. As a conclusion to her explanation, three students, Teresa Murphy, Gladys Bemrose, and Kathleen McDonald took down in shorthand, a letter dictated by Miss Taber, at an average rate of sixty words per minute and the former two girls transcribed it to the typewriter. With the aid of a victrola, Florence Morris, Doris Shannon, and Kathleen McDonald demonstrated the value of typing to music and the resulting rhythm, increasing speed from thirty-five to forty-five, and Finally to fifty words a minute. The concluding portion of the program consisted of musical renditions, directed by Mr. Edward Barrett, musical director of Paris schools. King Kent, with Jimmy Mogan assisting at the piano, conducted an old familiar French song, A1ouette. Form IXA girls, directed by Edith Lewis, gave the number, Sur le Pont, with June Clancy at the piano. The school uniforms, navy blue and white, present a neat effect. The choral group rendered effectively three songs: Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be, a three part German choraleg and Annie the Miller's Daughter, after which the IXB boys interpreted Billy Boy and Shenandoah Concluding their program, they were assisted by Jimmy Mogan in a sailor's song, The Sailor and the Mermaid. A mixed student chorus of Form II sang Evening Song CGrulkeJg Come Let Us Dance Cl-lungarian Folk Songjg and De- dicationf' At the close of the program, the audience was invited to inspect the classrooms, and view a display of art, typing, shorthand, spelling and writ- ing, and the Commercial Bookkeeping Notebooks. There was no doubt left in the minds of the audience that the pupils were certainly worthy of the well-earned praise and congratulation which they received during the course of the evening. After examining the ex- hibiton of work, they more readily understood how great and unceasing were the efforts of the teachers and pupils to make their Junior Night the success they strived to obtain. , , K. MCDONALD 20 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK School At Horne The Annual At Home was held on February 25, and was well attend- ed by students from every form. The program began with the usual surname contest. The winners of this contest were Agnes Maus and Arden Miller. Then came the Treasure Hunt which some of the less Athletic participants might have called an Endurance Test , because they were directed from one room to another by different signs on different boards, and no one wasted any time in reachin the next room. The object was to find letters written on the boards. These letters were to be replaced by letters at the end of the Alphabet correspond- ing to them. The word was Treasure The winners of this contest were Bill Stockton and Jack Kelley. The most amusing event was the recognition contest. A group of stu- dents dressed in costumes paraded around while the rest guessed their iden- tity. Rita Granton was disguised as Greta Garbo. Betty Cameron as Mae West. Wallie Creedon, as W. C. Fields, Francis Inksater, and some of the boys of Ix B as Snow White and Seven Dwarfsg Bill Campbell as Eddie Can- tor and five IxA girls as his five daughtersg Bill Stockton, Bobby Westg Charles Barnes, Hitlerg and Pat Larin, Martha Raye. Sixteen participants guessed them all. Lots were drawn and Dorothy Morgan and Richard Knowles won. For about an hour after this bingo and dancing took place. Lunch was served by waiters distinguished by frilly aprons. Thus ended the At Home of 1938. Donna Pottruff Remembrance Day Service The students of Paris High School assembled in the auditorium on Thursday, November 10, for the annual Remembrance Day Service in memory of those who gave their lives that there might be peace. The service was opened by the singing of O Canada after which the winners of the Canadian Legion Essay contest were announced as follows: Grade IX, Betty McCowang Grade X, Mary McCallum, Form III, Winni- fred Elsong Form IV, Jack Muir. Mr. Butcher then introduced our guest speaker, Reverend Mr. Gowdy, who delivered a very impressive address on the theme of remembrance. He introduced his subject by the question, Why should a school of youth, whose students are just beginning their life, find time for a service of such a nature-of remembrance? It would seem on first consideration that only the more mature minded should be concerned with memories of the Great War, but, on studying the question more closely, the speaker pointed out that there was nothing in the whole subject of remembrance that was not vital to youth. At the close of the speech we stood with heads bowed while the Hon- our Roll of our school was read. The service closed with the singing of the National Anthem.

The programme was supplied by the Paris High School Choir under the capable leadership of Mr. E. R. Barrett. The programme began with the singing of O Canadal' by the choir and audience. The general business of the Literary Society was discussed by Mr. Butcher. The choir favoured with two, three-part numbers, Jeru- salem by C. H. H. Perry, and The Rhyme of the Country Road by Nob- le Cain, and three more- Carillion -R. Sheehan, At Pierrot's Door, a French Folk Song and the Wonderful Inn , a German Folk Song. Two contralto solos, Linden Lean by Vaughan Williams, and Praise of God by Beethoven were very acceptably given by Dorothy McCrow. Following this, the boys of the choir sang Tom's Gone to Hilo and Haul Away Joe . Audrey Brooks gave the school poem and Gladys Schuyler the phophecy. Mary and James Mogan played two piano duets, Morning Mood and Hungarian Dance No. 7 by Brahms. The choir again favoured with Ye Watchers , Lasst Uns Eufreven, and Shepherd's Dance Henry VIII by Ed. German. After this the boys of the choir sang, A-Roving, Soloist, Eoin Currie, and The Keeper , and the girls Care flies from the Land by Aur. Moffat, and Golden Slumbersf' Arlene Tom and Oliver Mowat played two violin duets Spring Heavens by Curtis and Drink to me only with thine eyes , an old English air, very acceptably. The choir then sang Stars of the Summer Night, Woodbury, Nocturne, Mendelssohn, Whistling Farmer Boy , Root, and Home on the Range , a Cowboy song. The pro- gramme closed with the singing of God Save the King by the whole as- sembly. After the programme the parents and friends of the pupils of the High School went through the different rooms in the school. Grades IXA and IXB had art exhibits displayed. The members of the choir and their parents enjoyed a social hour afterwards. The athletic society served lunch and Vera Bradley supplied music for dancing. ' A.I.N. Don McLauchlin had retired and was living in California. He devot- ed his time to growing oranges. One day he chanced to visit Charles Barnes, also retired, but living in Florida. Charles was showing Don an orange tree near the house. Don said, Why, out in California, we grow a tree that size in about a year. Said Charles, Well, I can't say for sure, but I don't think that this tree was here yesterday. Mary M.-My what a lot of freckles you have.

The university is just a mile or so outside the south gate of the city of Chengtu, the capital of the province of Szechwan. On a clear morning We can look out to the west and see the great snow moun- tains of Tibet, the land of fascination and romance. We had a student body of some four hundred students divided among the faculties of Arts, Science, Medicine and Dentistry. But today a much different picture can be drawn. For we have welcom- ed to our campus refugee students by their hundreds and refugee teachers by the score. Up to the present there have come, either in whole or in part, four other Christian universities and one great government school of medi- cine and dentistry. Our student body has increased to almost one thousand and consequently classrooms and laboratories have been put on double shift in order to meet the new demands. Our guests have had a hard time as they fled from the downriver in- stitutions before the arrival of the Japanese. Practically all are separated and out of touch with their families, money is very scarce and the future uncertain. One of our friends, a professor of chemistry in the University of Nanking told us of being given forty-eight hours in which to pack up all chemicals and apparatus and move the faculty and student bodies out of Nanking. Carpenters by the hundreds were called into nail up the boxes which were feverishly packed as carefully as possible. Imagine the amount of delicate apparatus that would have to be disconnected, wrapped individ- ually and then carefully packed so that the gentle handling of the Chinese stevedores would do no damage. Another friend told of the inteolerable crowding on the few steamers that were left in Nanking to carry crowds of refugees upriver to a haven of safety, of being without food or even water to drink for days, and of the constant fear that a Japanese bomber would sight the boat and ruthlessly bomb them. What kind of leaders and teachers are these, who have come to our campus? They are a fine group. Most of them have spent three years or more abroad studying, after graduation from a Chinese university. In addition, they have been leading the way in finding new ways and means of educating Chinese youth. One of our guests, Dr. Wu, is president of Ginling Women's College, commonly called the Vassar of China. She is one of the outstanding women in China today. Another is Dr. Wei noted for his development of extension Work at the University of Nanking. He has pioneered in the use of educational movies in Chinese high school work. Still another is Dr. Bi, a leader in Public Health work in China. He was forced out of Mukden Medical College by the Japanese conquest of Man- churia in 1931 and now six years later is again driven to a new sphere of work. These leaders have come, conscious of the privilege that is theirs, PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 23 of having escaped and of being in a quiet place to continue their work for China. No word of complaint is heard although they have lost all their belongings and their money and many have seen their dearest ones shot down. They express only the desire to get back into work and build up a New China out of the shambles of the old. Our refugee students are the cream of China's students. They are the active ones who have somehow found ways and means of coming from the coast regions some fifteen hundred miles away into the interior. Some have walked! They have resisted the glamour of the uniform, the temptation to go and tight, and instead are intent on giving their lives to the building up of the New After the War China. Indeed one of the amazing things about the effect of the war has been the absence of hysteria or mob enthusiasm orf the part of the Chinese. All are loyally and enthusiastically supporting the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. Everyone recognizes, however, that al- though the War is inevitable and that it must be opposed with war, yet that this war, or any other war, can settle nothing. After the war comes the great opportunity and responsibility for the universities and their graduates. In fact, the Government has given strict orders that university students are not to be allowed to enlist but are to concentrate on their studies. This attitude explains the remark of a dentistry teacher to a girl refugee student. She had just received word that her home had been bombed by Japanese planes and her mother and family killed. As she sat in the lecture room taking down notes, her grief became uncontrollable and she burst into tears and open grief. The teacher told her to stop, that China required her to forget her private sorrow and to concentrate on her studies so that she could better serve her country! That is a stern philosophy, but it is one that is guiding thousands of the youth of China. Of the eleven Christian universities and colleges, which are joined through the American China Christian Colleges Committee, which last year raised through an Emergency Campaign S300,000, one institution is carrying on in Japanese occupied areas, two are threatened daily with bombing by planes carrying death and destruction, seven have had their campuses destroyed or occupied but are still doing teaching work in other places, only one university, the West China Union University in Chengtu is privileged to be still on its own campus, untouched, as yet, by the raids of the Japanese. Because of this state of affairs, this university occupies a key position in the educational plans of the Christian Colleges. These eleven colleges are attempting to directly influence China to be- come a Christian country. Their success is shown by the influential posi- tions that their graduates now hold in China's national life. Although each institution is still supported 'by missionary organizations in America, Canada and Great Britain, an increasing measure of their support has come from within China. They are a recognized part of the Chinese educational system, approved by the government. In each place there is a small group of Anglo-Saxons, who are greatly interested in the Chinese people and their struggle to build a New China. In each place, there is direct contact be- tween the best of the East and of the West, an attempt based on Christian love and friendship to synthesise a new culture for China that shall be 24 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Christian. These colleges are bridges of good-will between China and the great English-speaking countries and are surely sorely needed in this age of dictatorships and cries of narrow self-sufficient nationalism. The significant place that West China Union University has in this programme today is best illustrated by the remarks of one of our guest teachers. He gave an address using as his text the six characters which make up our name in Chinese. The first two are Hwa Hsi, meaning West China. These represent the location of the new home of Chinese culture and civilization which will come into being born out of the tragedy and testing of this present war. The next two characters Hsieh Ho carry the idea of Union and this is the keyword of the present spirit of China, for it is the most necessary thing to be cherished in her present strug- gle for her national life. The last two Dak Hsuo or University is the in- stitution on which China depends to train her ,future leaders who will go out and rebuild a New China. To the devoted pioneers who twenty-iive years ago undertook the task of creating a modern university in faraway West China, who had as their ambition a true Union University and who felt that through the Christian university great things could be done for China, to them a great debt of gratitude is due. Today, in the midst of this national crisis, we are en- deavouring to carry out their dreams, so that China may rise, as a great na- tion, to take her place with America and the British Empire as true guar- dians of world peace and democracy. KATHLEEN FERGUSON SPOONER. SPRING SI-IOVVER The sun is sinking deep in yonder sky, The shadows lengthen and the clouds quite softly glow, A deep, deep blue comes from the east up high And settles down: a heavy cloud hangs low. A spot of rain, another, in a breath The air is tilled with big soft drops of dew That gaily chase each other down, down, down, From out the sky of deeper, deeper hue. And now the sun, from just below the line That closes off our view, bursts forth again. And just as quickly has the rain gone past, But still the clouds full bright remain. They gleam with bright and awe-inspiring light, And now a rainbow arches high the vault Of Heaven, and we Whisper reverently, God hath made all Nature without fault. Audrey Brooks.

MACDONALD For many years the idea of a general union of the provinces of Canada had been in the minds of several great statesmen, but little was done about it until John A. Macdonald came into politics. He entered public life in 1843 when he became an alderman in King- ston, and the next year he was elected to the Assembly. In 1847 he was in- vited to join the cabinet, but went out of power a few months later upon the defeat of his party. He fought the Rebellion Losses Bill and the United States Annexation Bill, and when, at different intervals Sir Allan MacNab and Sir E. P. Tache held the Premiership, Macdonald and George Cartier were the real leaders. When George Brown and Macdonald became the leaders of the Liberal and Conservative Parties respectively, a fierce antagonism grew up between them. One of the chief reasons for this was the expansion of Upper Can- ada, while Lower Canada was not so large. Brown fought for increased re- presentation for Upper Canada because of its larger population, while Mac- donald thought this was unfair to Lower Canada and bitterly opposed it. Finally, a deadlock occurred, and no bills could be passed in the House of Commons. To overcome this difficulty both Brown and Macdonald sup- pressed personal feelings, and, for the good of Confederation, formed a Coa- lition Government under Tache in 1864. John A. Macdonald represented Canada at the conferences that led to Confederation. The first of these at Charlottetown, was to be a discussion of the Union of the Maritimes by the Representatives of these provinces, but delegates from Canada went and were cordially received though uninvited. The outcome of this meeting was the Quebec Conference where Macdonald was instrumental in the drawing up of seventy-two laws and resolutions that formed the backbone of the British North America Act. A third conference was held at London, England, with the British Government where the Con- PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 27 federation Bill was passed and signed. Macdonald was knighted and made the first Prime Minister of the New Dominion. He had two main problems-to satisfy the four provinces in the union, and to enlarge the union. Due to the efforts of Howe, the idol of Nova Scotia, this province was nearly withdrawn from the union, but Charles Tupper, Macdonald's minister there, prevented this and won Howe over to his side. The rather wild nature of the Great West had long been a problem to Canada. There was much desire to take it over, but it was owned mainly by the Hudson's Bay Company who were not likely to want to sell it. How- ever, after much effort on the part of Macdonald and his ministers, it was handed over to Canada in 1869. The conditions of this transaction were that the company should receive one-and-a-half million dollars, and that it should retain one-twentieth of the fertile land in the West, and the land around its trading posts. Also, as Macdonald wished to have provinces rather than territory in the union, Manitoba was created a province in 1870, and later in 1905, Saskat- chewan and Alberta were carved out of the Great West. In 1873 Macdonald adopted his famous National Policy and was swept back into power after a five-year absence. He had sent a governor favourable to union, to British Columbia, which joined the union when Canada took over its debt, and when Macdonald promised to build a railway within ten years. Owing to lack of enthusiasm among Alexander Mackenzie's followers, very little was done to- wards building this railway, but Macdonald had it completed when he came back into power, and it served as a strong link between the different prov- inces of the union. Thus, as we see, the foundations of Canadian Unity were firmly laid through the efforts of Sir John A. Macdonald, one of the greatest statesmen that Canada has ever known. Betty McCowan. THE DEVELOPMENT OF CANADIAN UNITY UNDER SIR WILFRID LAURIER Sir Wilfrid Laurier was one of the most outstanding statesmen Canada has known. He was a clever orator with a command of words unequalled by any other Canadian Statesman, before, or since his time, thus we can eas- ily understand how he contributed so much to National Unity. Geographically, Canada cannot be considered a unit. The National Un- it, which Laurier achieved, came about despite the unfavourable geograph- ical characteristics of the country. The Maritime Provinces are cut off from Quebec by the north eastern section of the state of Maine. Quebec and Ontario are cut off from the Prair- ie Provinces by the vast barren territory, lying north of Lake Superior. The Prairie Provinces are separated from British Columbia by the mighty Range 28 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK of the Rockies. British Columbia is cut off from easy access to the Yukon, by the narrow strip of shore-line belonging to Alaska. Owing to these bro- ken parts, the problem of welding the country into one unit has been a most difficult one. It is also apparent that differences among the various provin- ces should arise. These differences were also made apparent through the general characteristics of the inhabitants, and the immediate needs of the people. In the Maritimes for instance, cut off as they were, it was evident that they should look to trade with the New England States with a ready market for their sea foods. Quebec was overwhelmingly French-Canadian, which made this province somewhat distrustful of the English-speaking sections in the country. Ontario was rapidly becoming a manufacturing country, as well as an agricultural one. The Prairies depended entirely upon the farms. British Columbia, isolated as it was by many miles between the east and west, had another definite problem. Sir Wilfred Laurier, being a French-Canadian, was naturally a happy choice for the Province of Quebec. He was trusted equally as well by the English speaking Provinces, so that his personality, to begin with, made a common bond throughout the country. The Western Farmers were essentially free-traders, while the east was highly protectionist, and to solve the jealousies which were arising between the east and west, Laurier built the second trans-continental railway. He also encouraged immigration from foreign lands, which settled large parts of the west. Another result of Laurier's efforts for unity was the establishment of a Department of Labour in the Dominion to settle industrial disputes. An act passed by Laurier which has had far-reaching effects through- out the country, was the Lord's Day act, which enabled the Canadian Workman to have at least one free day in the week. The Laurier Regime set up the Canadian Railway's Commission, which has largely done away with Spoils System, in appointments of governmen- tal positions. Another Commission set up in this period was the Dominion Commission of Conservation, whose duty it was to watch over the natural resources of the country, This has proved of great value to agricultural, fisheries, forest, and waterpower interests. ' Other reforms were the system of penny postage and moderate tariffs. These were among the many achievements of the Laurier period. To sum up the creed of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the following oft-repeated quota- tion may be used: Divided We Fall. United we Stand, Mary McCallum. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 29 DEVELOPMENT OF CANADIAN UNITY DURING THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In 1900 the provinces of Canada were united in little more than name. In 1867 they had been united into the Dominion of Canada, but they were not truly united. They were widely separated, and communications were poor. Canada was a nation in name only. In 1900 the South African War was raging. This war established a new tie between Canada and the rest of the Empire. Canadian soldiers fought for the Mother Country. In this common bond of loyalty to the Empire a measure of unity was gradually developed among the people. In 1908 Canada was granted the right to make her own treaties. This was a long step forward. If Canada was to be ruled entirely by her own people they must develop and compare their ideas. Canada soon saw that if she was to gain the respect of other nations she must present a united front. In 1911 Laurier as Prime Minister was advocating reciprocity in trade with the United States. Reciprocity was rejected by the people of Canada. Laurier was defeated and Canada had proved to the world that she was be- coming united in her opinions. The World War cast a dark shadow before it. Under this shadow Can- ada quietly prepared for when the storm should break. When the war broke there was no uncertainty in the attitude of the Canadian people. Thirty- three thousand men were drafted immediately for services. Thousands upon thousands followed. Canada supplied more than man-power. Ammunition, grain, farm products, any necessary thing she possessed was willingly given. This was possibly the greatest step toward unity. Canada stood united be- side her mother country and fought for her freedom. Forgotten were all the petty grievances of province, ancestry, political differences. Throughout the four long years of war Canada fought bravely and undivided. It gained for her the respect of other countries and at the signing of the Treaty of Ver- sailles, Canada was represented, not only as a member of the Empire, but also as a country, strong in her own opinions and rights. Throughout the boom years that followed the World War and through- out of the long depression that has followed again Canada has suffered much. But she has withstood it all and is gradually rising out of the long depres- sion. She has fought her own way out and the struggle has done her good. It has taught her that she can stand on her own feet, another fact which may lead to the ultimate complete unity she seeks. Canada is a young country. She has yet many little divisions, many differences which keep her from becoming entirely united. Experience only will teach. She has, however, made much progress, and as the years pass will continue to progress. One day she will be a solid, completely united nation, standing ever behind the Mother country, until the United Kingdom is truly the united kingdom. Winnifred Elson 30 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK FROM COLONIAL DAYS TO NATIONAL STATUS IN CANADA In 1849 all matters in the Imperial field, as set out by Lord Durham, were under the control of the Governor-General. Some such matters were defence, foreign affairs, tariffs, immigration, form of government and Crown Lands. Since that time Canada has slowly struggled for control of all these matters, and consequently, for national status. In early days of Canadian politics all disputes with other countries were settled by a committee of Englishmen in collaboration with represen- tatives from the other countries. However, in negotiating the Washington Treaty, with the United States, Sir John A. Macdonald was one Canadian on a committee of four. During the government of Laurier, in settling the Alaskan boundary dispute, Canada had two representatives on the com- mittee. When Macdonald Was Prime Minister, Galt was appointed as Can- adian High Commissioner in London. He was in effect a Canadian am- bassador to Britain. Also, under Macdonald's government, Canada became independent of Britain regarding tariffs. Sir Alexander Mackenzie set up the Supreme Court at Ottawa, and dur- ing his regime the Governor-General lost his privilege of refusing to sign a bill. Moreover, he could now pardon criminals only on recommendation by the cabinet During the South African War, Prime Minister Laurier refused to send forces until parliament approved. At this time the forts in Canada, formerly garrisoned by British soldiers, were taken over by the Canadian militia. A Canadian officer now became head of the militia. Can- ada also set up her own navy. Trade treaties could now be made without British consent and Canada was not bound by Imperial treaties unless by her consent. Immigration was now placed under Canadian control, so that even an Englishman could be barred from the country if desired. During the Great War Canada was represented on the Imperial War Cabinet by her Premier, Sir Robert Borden, who looked after Canadian in- terests and had a voice in all treaties. Canada signed the Treaty of Ver- sailles, 1918, as a nation, and also sent a representative to the League of Nations, In 1925 a Canadian, Senator Dandurand, was elected president of the Assembly of the League of Nations and the following year was chosen to represent the Assembly on the Council of the League. The first financial director of the League was a Canadian, Sir Herbert Ames. Because of the failure of the United States to join the League, Canada has become the interpreter of North American opinion, and consequently has had a great influence on the League. Under Borden Canada began to send representatives, known as quasi- ambassadors, to France, Japan, Germany and the United States. At the Imperial Conference of 1926 relations between Great Britain and the Dominions were set forth in the Westminster Act. The Dominions were declared equal to Great Britain, as members of the British Empire. All had an equal voice in foreign affairs. The Dominions were not bound to Imperial Treaties unless by their own consent. The only bond of Em- pire was to be the King. The King was now, in theory, the crowned king of each Dominion. An example of this last was shown in an announce- ment in the papers a short time ago. When, next year, King George visits Canada he will come, not as King of England, but as King of Canada. Truly, Canada has achieved national status. Jack Muir. , nr' 2 . I Executive of Literary Society, Fall Term 1938.--Names on Page 85 Stafl' of The Quill Fall Term, 1938.-Names on Page 89.

This means more athletic activities for our girls. Athletics are becoming almost as important as any of our subjects. We are living in a time when it is desirous we have well built, healthy, young women. Great steps are taken to accomplish this by regular periods dur- ing the week in which we are put through physical exercises. We play games that exercise our whole body. Such games as basketball and volley ball that are played often in these periods provide wonderful opportunities to increase our physical ability. We have in our school a most efficient supervisor, Miss Rae, who not only is efficient in her work but also enjoys it. Last year the girls were chosen for two teams of hockey under the leadership of Bill Campbell and Jack Winch. This game not only proved very good exercise but it was also very amusing. Baseball teams were chosen by eight girls. The games were arranged for noon hour and after four. The girls entered into these games whole- heartedly and as a result they were very successful. Of the noon teams, that of Agnes Maus won and of the after four teams, that of Rita Granton won. These two teams played for the championship and Agnes Maus was again successful. Basketball seems to create the biggest stir. Probably this is due to the fact most of the teams are made up of the younger girls who keenly desire to learn. The teams of last fall numbered six. Those captained by Mary McKeen and Betty Cameron succeeded in winning the highest score. On playing for first place, Mary McKeen's came out on top. A team for basketball was chosen from the school last fall. The girls played games at Galt, Brantford and Waterford. Of the eight games play- ed, Paris won six. This year, Girls' Basketball will not begin till after Commencement. Our Field Day was one of great success this year. Everything was so carefully arranged before hand that there were no delays and this meant success. Dark clouds frowned down on P. H. S. but that didn't lessen the girls enthusiasm. Our congratulations go to the Champions of this Year's Field Day. In the Senior class, Francis Inksater won but by reversion the title will go to the runner-up, but there were three tied for this place, namely, Elsie Veit, Mary McKeen, and Betty Kelly. Since Betty Kelly has had it once, it remains between Elsie Veit and Mary McKeen. In the Intermediate it was a tie between Patricia Reeves and Jean Granton. In the Junior it was Janet Ewart. AT10119 Tom' 32 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Boys' Sports Last year P.H.S. entered only a Junior Basketball team in the W.O.S.S. A., and was grouped with Brantford and Kitchener. In all the games, our opponents were much superior and won handily. This year's team has been entered in the new Senior B division and should be more successful. After the junior schedule last winter, teams were chosen among the students, to decide the winner of the Apps' Cup. This trophy, donated by Sylvanus Apps, is given annually to the winning team. The winner for the past season was the team captained by William Stockton. In the inter-form hockey competition last winter, Upper School defeat- ed Middle School and won the right to meet Lower School for the cham- pionship. In a particularly good game the Lower School was victorious and won the Robinson Cup. In the Senior B group in the W.O.S.S.A., the school team won both games from Ingersoll but lost the two games to St. Thomas. The St. Thomas team continued on to win the district championship. At the Waterloo Track Meet held in Woodside Park, Kitchener, on April 30th, Paris placed second with 31 points. Meaford won the Hainsworth Cup for the second successive year. It is hoped to send another strong team to this meet next May. The W.O.S.S.A. Boys' Track Meet was held at London on May 21st. Out of the eight contestants, three were successful in placing in their events. Herbert Monteith and Richard Knowles placed third in the pole vault and high jump contests respectively. William Burt in placing second in the broad jump won a two weeks' vacation at the Ontario Athletic Commission Camp on Lake Couchiching. In place of the Simcoe-Burford-Paris Track Meet this fall, a softball tournament was held among the forms. Fourth Form and Commercial emerged victorious in the Upper and Lower forms, and met in the final game. Fourth Forrn was victorious and became Softball Champions for 1938. The annual Field Day was held on October 5th, and although the wea- ther was dull and cold, a large crowd was present to witness a very success- ful afternoon. The three champions were: Junior, Delbert Wilsong Inter- mediate, Durward Midgleyg and William Burt came first for the Seniors, but since he was last year's winner, the championship was awarded to John Kennedy.

Girls' Hockey After school last winter, quite a large crowd gathered at the local arena to watch the girls of Upper School compete against the girls of Lower for the school hockey championship. Under the capable coaching of Bill Campbell the girls of Upper School were victorious over the girls of Lower who were coached by Jack Winch, by scores of 2-0 and 3-1. The girls much appreciated the courtesy shown by Herbert Monteith and Alfred Gibbons, who acted as referees, They certainly had their hands full trying to call all the offsides. The girls knew very little about the game and consequently were continually being called back for minor offences. However, the girls learned easily and soon there was very little whistle- blowing. There were many stars for both sides, however Bette Kelley, Mary Mc- Keen and Frances Inksater were the goal-getters for the Upper School. Winnifred Eames and Patricia Larin were the stars for the Lower School, Notwithstanding the keen competition shown, the games were more for amusement than for rivalry, and it is to be hoped that more games will be held this winter.

After the singing of O Canada, Mr. Butcher, the chairman, welcomed the graduates and other guests. He then explained that it was customary for the chairman to give a brief review of the year's work. The reports of the departmental examinations had been particularly gratifying, since the average of failures was only twelve per cent. Special mention was made of the Ayr pupils who come to finish their Upper School work in Paris, and who, last summer, all passed. This fine record of Paris High School is due to the splendid support that is given to the teachers and the school by the Board and the townspeople in general. Mr. Butcher also thanked the donors of the scholarships. He then put forth a plea for a scholarship in French, since the previous one had stopped with the death of the donor. He made the further suggestion that some of the wealthy citizens of the town should establish a fund to help brilliant but needy students in the Upper School complete their education, with the un- derstanding that when they found themselves established they would repay the loan, thus giving a chance to other clever students. In this way, Mr. Butcher said, the fund would be working for the good of the nation in help- ing brilliant minds to be trained for service. He then called on Mr. Erle Taylor, Chairman of the Board of Education, to present the medals to the athletic champions. Mr. Butcher explained that the Board had kindly provided two medals for both the senior and interme- diate girls' championships on account of a tie in each case. Mr. Taylor con- gratulated both the champions and the graduates upon their success. He also mentioned the value of matriculation subjects in later life, and urged that interest be kept up in these. The following were the champions: Senior Girls', Mary McKeen and Elsie Veitg Intermediate Girls', Jean Granton and Patricia Reeves, Junior Girls', Janet Ewartg Senior Boys', John Kennedy, Intermediate Boys', Durward Midgleyg Junior Boys', Delbert Wil- son. The school choir sang P. G. Marsha1l's Dear Canada, and a sea chan- tey, Blow the Man Down, Mr. Butcher called upon Dr. Austin Dunton to present the diplomas to the graduates. He said that it was an unusual occasion, in that both Mr. Taylor and Dr. Dunton were graduates of the old Paris High School. Mr. Butcher was also gratified that of the twenty graduates, all but one were present. Hazel Pearson is in Alberta, and, of course, was unable to be on hand to receive her diploma. Dr. Dunton said that education symbolizes the efforts of the govern- ments of nations and municipalities to maintain and improve the traditions of the past. In the work of the students we see their individual efforts to maintain the standards of a past generation, and to set even higher ones for the future. As we struggle along in our process of being educated, we are PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 37 moving a step nearer to our goal of being a useful citizen. ln return we re- ceive a measure of natural and spiritual things. However, graduates must not assume that they have reached the summit upon commencement day. Al- ways new problems and opportunities will present themselves. Success as well as disappointments will come, but a good education will steady one in successes and will encourage one in reverses. Education has given us a de- gree of reason that is so necessary in life, and just to live, alone, is to learn. Dr. Dunton then extended his good wishes to the graduates, hoping for them success, happiness and joy in living and serving. He admonished them to give their best to life, and that they would be rewarded accordingly. Mr. Taylor, since he is a business man, was asked to present the diplomas to the Commercial graduates. One of these, Miss Barbara Kyle, received her matriculation diploma as well. The choir then sang a difficult four-part setting of Sweet and Low, and the Scotch folk song, The Road to the Isles. An interesting part of the program was the presentation of the various matriculation scholarships. Miss Helen Smith, who is the donor of the prize for English, began her remarks by congratulating Miss Elsie Black and Miss Kathleen Butcher on the splendid awards recently achieved by them, and, which brought much honour to the school. She then presented her scholar- ship to Miss Jane Fair. Mr. Charles H. Baird, after expresing his surprise that all the winners of the awards were girls, presented his prize for Mathematics proficiency to Miss Kathleen Butcher. A unique feature was the presentation to Miss Evelyn Cassady of two scholarships, one for proficiency in Modern History, awarded on behalf of the Prince of Wales Chapter I.O.D.E. by Mrs. Wickson, and the other, for Latin, presented by Mr. Butcher, in the absence of Dr. G. W. Bell. This lat- ter scholarship is in memory of the late Dr. W. N. Bell, who was an out- standing Latin scholar. A group of violin solos by Miss Arlene Tom was followed by the vale- dictorian's address. Miss Ruby Watts, who had the highest total on the Upper School subjects, had the honour of bidding farewell to P.H.S. on be- half of the graduating class. In fluent words she recalled the memories of the past five years, with all the pleasures and fun that were tinged at times with the worries of examinations. She thanked the School Board and the Staff for their co-operation, and did not forget to include Mr. Tate, who holds a warm place in the hearts of all who have attended the school. She mentioned the lasting friendships that had had their beginning in first form days. Her address concluded with an admonition to the oncoming classes to accept the responsibility of upholding the traditions of the school and, above all else, to play the game. Mr. Butcher then said a formal word of farewell to the class of 1938. He also expressed his thanks to Mr. Smith and Mr. Barrett for their part in preparing the play and the choir. The audience enjoyed a group cf cello solos, played by Miss Donna Cowan, who is a newcomer to the P.H.S. from Drurnbo. A short one-act play, entitled Yes Means No, was put on by Hve fourth 38 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK and fifth form students. It was cleverly done. The swift play of words and the various intonations of the word No made a witty and swiftly moving dialogue that amused the audience. It was the type of comedy that could have gone very Hat if it had not been for the excellent timing of the re- marks and the voice indections of the actors. The role of Teddy Lawson was portrayed by William GriHing Edith Merrill, his fiancee, by Miss Fran- ces Inksaterg William Lawson, his father, by Waldron Creedeng J. P. Mor- gan, a financier, by Donald Currieg and Miss Collins, secretary to Mr. Law- son, by Miss Barbara Summerby. The singing of the National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. After the commencement, a reception was held by the staff for the graduates, members of the Board, actors, ushers, and the donors of the prizes. Here the usual educational atmosphere of second form disappeared. The evening wound up with a dance in the gymnasium. Thus another commencement has gone into the records of the Paris High School, and with it go the very best wishes of us all to the graduating class of 1938. DOROTHY B. RAE l IN APPRECIATION We have been very fortunate this year in obtaining an article by Mrs. Roy Spooner concerning her experiences in China. During the years 1929-31 Miss Kathleen Ferguson taught English at this school. In 1931 she was married to Mr. Roy Spooner, a professor in Chemistry in the University of West China. Her former students will be glad indeed to hear of her experiences. We are grateful also to Miss Rae who has recorded ina most interest- ing fashion the events of Commencement, 1938. We were glad to receive an article also from Gordon Parsons, a former student of our school who has been in England since October 1937, taking a course in Hosiery Machine Building in Leicester.

The northward sloping plains of the country lie walled about by mountain ranges, to the south, rivers form the natural boundary. Fully one-third of the land is covered with forest growth, but the wide Valleys are green and fertile. Sheltered by the mountains to the north, this coun- try has quite a moderate climate. The Czechs, who form two-thirds of the population of Czechoslovakia, are believed to be descendants of Slavic tribes which pushed westward from Russia. The remainder of the population is made up of Slovaks, Mor- avians, and Ruthenians, with German, Hungarian and Polish minorities. Before the World War, this section of Central Europe was known as Bohemia. Its early history is a mixture of romantic legend and actual fact. The people of Bohemia were once powerful and highly cultured. But un- fortunately, their land became one of the chief battle-grounds of Europe. The Bohemian crown passed from one family to another, and bitter relig- ious wars divided the population. Finally, after the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648, the House of Hapsburg gained the crown permanently. The Czechs and Moravians were deprived of their political independence, though they stubbornly resisted Germanization. Meanwhile the Slovaks succumbed to the Magyars of Hungary. Czechoslovakia, as we know it, was formed through the efforts of Thom- as Masaryk after the World War. Masaryk, a professor at the University of Prague, possessed integrity, fearlessness, and realism, because of these qualities, he found himself by 1914, the leader of a moral revival among his people. In exile during the World War, he conceived the idea of a Czech national state, and became the exponent of the idea of Czechoslova- kian independence. In 1918, with the aid of President Woodrow Wilson of the United States, he succeeded in carrying out his plan. The democratic republic of Czechoslovakia was formed of parts of former Austria-Hun- gary, comprising Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, Ruthenia, most of Austrian Silesia, and some other small areas of German and Austrian territory. Mas- aryk was the natural candidate for the presidency of the new state, an of- fice which he held until 1935. In the twenty years since 1918, Czechoslovakia has become a thriving nation, with an efficient educational system. The University of Prague, established in 1348, has now more than ten thousand students, new uni- versities have been established at Brno and Bratislava. The Czechs, realiz- ing the importance of education, have provided grade schools in abundance and numerous industrial training centres. The Czech rulers encourage young men and women to join gymnastic societies called Sokols, not only to keep them physically fit, but to increase their patriotism. Manufacturing is the chief industry of Czechoslovakia, and mining the PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 53 most profitable. Bohemia has coal, iron, silver, salt, oil, and even a little radium. Moravia possesses famous iron and engineering works, factories for the production of cotton and woollen goods, glass, paper, and chemicals are numerous. In agriculture, sugar-beets form one of the principal crops, Czechoslovakia ranking among the largest producers in the world. In Slovakia, sheep and cattle breeding and small farming on the plain of the Danube are the chief occupations. Grapes and hops are grown extensive- ly in Moravia and Ruthenia. As far as industry is concerned, Ruthenia is the most backward region of the republic, chiefly because until 1918, the peasants were under the domination of Hungarian feudal lords. The Czechs however, are making efforts to improve the state of these people, encour- aging them to build furniture and paper factories of their own, the gov- ernment also is trying to develop oil fields. Czechoslovakia is handicapped by the fact that while under Austro- Hungarian domination, its railways were built to radiate from Vienna and Budapest instead of from Prague and Brno. Now, however, new lines are being built to improve internal transportation. Two streams flow from Czechoslovakia to the sea: the Danube leads to the Black Seag the Vltava branching into the Elbe, Hnds its way to the wharves of Hamburg on the North Sea. The government has been promoting the building of a great ship-canal to connect these two rivers. Czechoslovakia's chief port is Bra- tislava on the Danube. ! Only during the past eight months have the eyes of the world been fo- cused on Czechoslovakia. Unfortunately, Czechoslovakia, a sturdy wedge between Occident and Orient, athwart the famous Htransversal Eurasian axis lay squarely in the way of Herr Hitler's ambitions for a Nazi empire. Valuable as the Czech loot would be, the Fuehrer did not regard the con- quest of Czechoslovakia as an end, but only as a means to the rich oil fields of Rumania, the fertile black earth of the Ukraine, and a free hand down the Danube to the Black Sea. When Czechoslovakia was brought under German domination, the road was opened to Hitler's drive for world power. Czechoslovakia's greatest weakness lay, of course, in the fact that it was not a homogeneous nation. Recently, the German, Hungarian, and Po- lish minorities, and some of the Slovaks were following a trend away from co-operation with the Czechs, especially since Hitler's successful conquest of Austria. It has long been the contention of the German government that the Czechs mistreated the German minority. There is no denying an in- justice! It has been one of the tragedies of the country that the Czechs did not successfully absorb the German minority. As long as Austria remained independent, Czechoslovakia was not en- tirely isolated. During the last year of Austria's existence, increasingly cordial relations developed between President Benes, Masaryk's protege and successor, and Chancellor Schuschnigg. Each realized that if the Reich overran either country, the position of the other became practically un- tenable. The Czechs, however, were late in recognizing the necessity of saving Austria. They had listened to the overconfident words of their 54 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK French allies, and while they were hesitating, Austria was. lost. Hardly had Hitler, following his Austrian coup, taken upon himself the protection of the German minority in Czechoslovakia when troubles were renewed between the Poles and the Hungarians on the one hand, and the Czechs on the other. Hungarian and Polish hostilities towards Czechoslo- vakia are both natural and inherent, dismemberment of the Czech state, and its division among Germany, Hungary, and Poland, are the ambitions of these states. e The crisis in the German minority problem in Czechoslovakia came last September. The Czechs, with their large and efficiently organized army, at first would not yield to the demands of the Nazi party. They would take dictation from no one. But harassed within by the Germans, Hungarians, Poles, and dissident Slovaks, confronted from without with the' danger of German invasion, uncertain of help from France, Russia, and Britain, they faced an increasingly difficult fight to preserve their inde- pendence. For a short time, the Czech attitude was so desperately defiant that another European war seemed inevitable. But Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of Great Britain, and Premier Daladier, of France, in un- precedented conferences with Herr Hitler, apparently averted war, and made terms for Czechoslovakia. They suggested that she surrender to Hit- ler. Sudetenland, occupied chiefly by the German Czechs, Poland reclaimed Teschen, Hungary reclaimed Hungaria irredenta in the south. After plebe- scites in the territories concerned, they were occupied by the victors during the first two weeks in October. Hitler seems to have gained complete control of what little remains of Czechoslovakia, for, immediately after the German occupation of Sudeten- land, he demanded and received the resignation of President Benes. This able statesman, long aware of Hitler's strategy, but powerless to combat it, has been sacrificed to the fires of ambition. The toil of Masaryk has been for nought! Czechoslovakia, as a coun- try, after twenty years of democratic progress, has been reduced to the state of almost servitude. This tiny state, so recently powerful, ambitious, thriving, but now uncertain of aid from its former allies, carries on in con- tinual fear of subjugation to one of the more powerful totalitarian states. What the future holds in store for it, only a prophet can say! Mary A. Mogan. Said Nancy Jane: What is the difference between the passing of a hairdresser and that of a sculptor?

'e 'a' The Ancient and Honorable Association of Gum Chewers Gum chewing is one of the most ancient, most honourable, most prac- tical, and yet, least appreciated art the world has ever known. ln order to preserve the art, we, the best gum-chewers of the honoured halls of P.H.S. have formed an association of gum-chewers. As perhaps you may have no- ticed, the honourable brethern and sistern, copied the unquestionably perfect chew from the revered cow. As is most natural, anyone wishing to become a member, must demonstrate his or her ability to chew loudly, conspicuous- ly, yet perfectly in rhythm. He must never be caught-that is a sin unfor- givable. He must carry many packages of gum-no special brand is requir- ed-in order that the brethern and sistern of the association may not have to concentrate their efforts on worn-out material. He must swear allegiance to the association in which is included the statement that he will never fail the association by striking for shorter chewing hours-the present hours being twenty-four each day. This neces- sitates the ability to chew during sleep. Our meetings are held on the evenings of each full moon. The meeting place is a deep, dark secret-but I shall divulge this much-it is a deserted graveyard in the vicinity of Paris. At our last meeting we elected our offi- cials for the year. We fully intended to have Andy Pall for our Chief Chewist. His speed and perfection of chewing simply thrilled us to pieces, but one day, when he was chewing an especially tasty piece of gum, he was spied, and captured with his mouth open, all ready for a crowning chew. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 57 Thus he was excommunicated from our midst. He may be able to reclaim his past position of honour but never will we be able to entrust the respon- sibility of leadership to him. The only person left for the honour was Wig- gy Figgrin who lately dropped out of the atmosphere. Wiggy was extremely modest, considering his bold chew, but finally consented to accept the hon- our and has been doing all that can be expected to keep up the prestige and honour of the association. The choice of Miss Chief Chewiest needed little heavy concentration for there, with a sublime expression on her capable mouth, sat little Patsy, Chew-chew, Niral. The thought struck us all squarely at the same time, and the force of it nearly floored us, so great it was. As one voice, we echo- ed her name through the rustling leaves. She blushed very red and stam- mered in her shy manner that if we insisted-. In almost like manner, our financier was chosen, usually called treasur- er, but we like a change. The duties of the financier are as follows:-he must collect from each member a pin for each chewing day. He must sell the pins to those requiring same and with the revenue buy the necessary gum for the society. I forgot to mention the name of this hard working fac- tor of our club-that perfect speciman of chew-Quack Pinch. Needless to say, he devotes most of his time to his duty and gathers pins too capably for the comfort of stingy chewers. Great also is the discomfort of him not wishing to buy. For those who are not well-educated in the art of professional chewing, we have a charming instructor-Goo Goo Dillis. But in order that our ranks be not over-crowded by the rush anticipated by this announcement, and Miss Dillis be not over-worked, only those who appear very near ama- teur perfection will be accepted for professional training. However, those who first apply have the best chance or receiving a membership card, a replica of which appears above. May they consider themselves honoured in having the privilege of proving to the world that gum-chewing is the only way to Utopia.

She shall be about so tall, neither thin nor fat, but definitely blonde and not chlorine type neither. She may be a clinging vine or the masterful type as is most becoming. Her hair should be a little up and a little down. A beautiful girl is preferred with a turned up nose and small mouth. She must be able to wear both shorts and slacks to perfection, finger-nail and toe-nail polish are optional. She must not wear glasses-definitely an impedimentum. BILL CAMPBELL-She shall wear war-paint if it won't come off too rapid- ly. She shall be a tall, streamlined, willowy brunette. She must be beautiful as long as she doesn't know it. She must wear her hair down and her nose up. The size of her mouth d0esn't matter-it is the shape that counts. She shall not have freckles! In the dark she must be am- orous but otherwise independent. The matter of a career doesn't count as long as she is a good cook. Object-matrimony but not too soon. J. E. WINCH--Paint marks one up too much. She must be a sawed-off, thin- nish, fattish redhead, who is neither a clinging vine nor too masterful. No career gal for me. Of course she must be pretty but a pug nose' will do. Big mouths are dangerous. As to shorts! No one can yet say what the object may be. Shall she smoke? Of course. But no flaming fin- gernails. JIMMY MOGAN-She may wear paint if it improves her general appear- ance, otherwise no! She shall be about three-quarters tall, but not too thin, yet not too fat. Hair-brunette and worn down! Her looks aren't half as important as her I. Q. but a turned-up nose wouldn't hurt mat- ters any. She shall wear shorts or slacks as suit her figure. She shall not smoke-I guess. And she shall not wear bright nail-polish-I know. LUKE TINCKNELL-Only the make-up that is becomingly natural for my dates. They for shej are to be neither tall nor short nor fat, nor thin but blonde, beautiful and blonde with her nose halfway up and her mouth half-way small. She may only wear glasses if they improve. No smoking-no manicurist-no pedicurist habits. WALLY CREEDON-Her face may be made up, but not painted. She shall be about 5' B , a pleasingly plump brunette, unconsciously beautiful with a turned up face, not blessed with freckles, and well-shaped mouth. She may be masterful in the back seat of a car but in the front-independent. If she smokes, let it be Sweet Caps. BETTY WICKSON-Let him be tall-6' 3 is the minimum-but not a bean pole. Loud ties and socks an absolute necessity. He must drive skill- fully. He must be dark with a peaches and cream complexion, he must not be untidy in anyway, he must not use grease of any kind on his hair. He may be gracefully knock-kneed and have big feet. I hope he smokes Sweet Caps. 62 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK SOME OF THE MISGUIDED THINK- A skeleton is a man with his inside out and his outside off. The past tense of I want is I got.

PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 63 My Ideal CCon'dJ DICK BOSWORTH-She may only paint on rare occasions-very rare. Height 5' 6 , Weight 110 lbs. CHOW rude!D Blonde for fun. Brunette for marriage. I prefer them clinging fto mei. Her hair is to be worn up-in curlers. She will be a home girl. Her career is me. She doesn't have to be beautiful-anything but buck teeth. Her nose must have been broken twice so that there is a lump on it. A big mouth is preferr- ed Cthe better to kiss you my dearj. No glasses-no flaming finger tips. JACK DUNCAN-She shall be a beautiful, streamlined, smallish brunette with a small mouth and pert nose. A little war paint is O.K. at times. Object-rnatrimony of course. Wait-she must smoke only Chesterfields. DURWARD MIDGLEY-Nothing will do but a Venus de Milo fwith armsb a clinging vine, ah yes-a blonde. No-no career-just a beautiful home girl who can cook. She better be streamlined too because she must be able to wear shorts to advantage. And she must be able to smoke her Lucky Strikes with style. MARY MOGAN-Height 5' 10 -6'--no taller please! Build-a perfect phy- sique. Must wear loud sox-so loud they squeak. Must be able to drive a car-with one arm. May eat onions but not before dates. A mous- tache seems to be a definite hindrance.

He may smoke a pipe. Big feet an absolute necessity. MEGAN BURNS-He must be tall-very tall, but wear very quiet sox and ties. He must be dark but shave only once a year. If his hair needs anything, goose grease is best. He had better wear sun glasses. He must not smoke but he may chew. Ginger-ale his only thirst quencher! VERNA PRIEST-A tall red head who doesn't shave at all, wears butter on his hair, and horn rimmed spectacles. No car is necessary-a bicycle built for two will do. He may smoke Chesterfields and drink old cider. DONNA POTTRUFF-A tall blonde whose favourite food is onions. His clothes must be quiet but he may eat garlic. He may be pidgeon-toed if necessary. He has to shave only twice a week. He may plaster his hair down with lard. He must smoke a pipe-Picobac tobacco. His favourite drink is to be the milk of cocoanuts.

Above all he must have an unfailing sense of humour. 64 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Trip to the Moon Once upon a time there was a moon, and once upon a time there lived a boy. He never really noticed the moon until his eighteenth birthday. That day by chance he was out walking in the beautiful countryside. He lost his way and as dusk drew nigh he became very hungry. He approach- ed a little cottage whose front window was lighted by a candle. His knock was answered by a beautiful maiden, with hair like a raven's wing, eyes like black diamonds, teeth like gleaming pearls. In her chin a dimple quirked as she bade him good-evening. For the first time in his young life he felt an irresistible urge. However he merely stated 'his predicament. She immediately invited him in and set before him a bountiful repast. Glan- cing out of the window he noticed the mellow harvest moon rising in all its autumn glory from the eastern horizon. He casually mentioned the moon to his charming entrancing benefactrix. Yes , she said in awed tone, I have often felt a desire to visit the moon on a magic carpet. Says he, There's nothing like trying. Have you got a magic carpet? Says she, No, but I've got a Ford. Says he, That's all We need! Come, we're on our way to the Moon. A short distance up the moonbeam they ran out of gas. Near at hand was an elfin chapel. With sudden inspiration the boy said, Let's get hit- ched. She was speechless with emotion. They were married in the elfin chapel by an elfin priest just as the moon was setting. This last fact Cor fictionl necessitated their return to Earth where, as all fairy tale lovers do-they lived happily ever after, but never again even considered visiting the moon.

Suddenly military bands break into ac- tion, one to four of them, twenty to two hundred instruments wih plenty of trombones and reinforced drums-a military march. The doors farthest from the podium open and the party standards appear. They are large and gilded. Above a banner is a circle enclosing a swastika in bronze and on the top perches a bronze eagle. As the standard bearers pass through the crowd, a group of party members, a well-trained claque, under the guid- ance of an invisible cheer leader, break into a vast, contagious shout: Hail! Hail! Hail! Then, at the rear, behind a bodyguard of stiH-moving, extra stalwart lads, comes a small group, generally in the traditional brown uni- form, the prominent leaders, for all the world like a general's staff. And last, behind them, smiling as benignly as a victorious general reviewing his army, appears the leader, Adolf Hitler. An unconvincing figure in black suit, white shirt and inevitable rain- coat! An unconvincing face, with impertinent nose, dark hair and Charlie Chaplin dab on the upper lip, with the anything but aristocratic head, and eyes that pleaded for sympathy! In appearance utterly commonplace! Yet this was the most effective orator in Germany, the hardest working politic- ian in Europe, a man who in thirteen short years talked in to being such a movement as Germany never saw before, who without loss of prestige, matched weapons in popular election with no less an adversary than the great Hindenburg, and became Dictator in 1933. Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 at Braunau in Upper Austria, just across the Inn river from Germany. His father was an amorous peasant cobbler who became a minor Government official in Austria. His mother seems to have been the victim of a resentment complex. Indeed, it might almost be said that, through her son Adolph, she is making the world pay for her fancied wrongs. K He was just as much an unhappy rebel at school as he was at home. He took only the subjects he liked and refused to be disciplined into tak- ing the others. Laughed at by his comrades for poring over an atlas, he fixed them with a glassy stare and replied with crushing dignity: 'I am wiping out the German boundaries and making them larger-making them larger!' Here already we have the essential Hitler-lonely, dreaming, ig- noring facts, living in a world of fancy, and happy in his artificial isola- tion. He has never been disciplined. He was spoiled by his mother, who made much of his physical weakness. He was so weakly that his schooling was interrupted for a year and he was rejected for military service. From his thirteenth to his eighteenth year he just loafed and was told that he was too gccd to work at sums like his fellows. Then came four more years cf frustration. Trained for nothing, he made no effort at training, having all the failure's contempt for preparation for any job. After the death of his father and mother he went to Vienna as a la- PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 87 bourer. It is one of the ironies of his history that world affairs to-day de- pend on the accidental contacts of a spoilt down-and-out in the Vienna of thirty years ago-on the resentment complexes of an adolescent who had failed solely because he refused to submit to authority and had not the sta- mina to achieve normality. He left Vienna hating Jews and despising phy- sical labour and his workman associates. His next two years were spent in Bavaria. The jolly life there did much to wean him back to mental normality, although material success still passed him by-this strange young man who painted posters or houses or birthday cards. Without hope and definitely ousted in the battle of life, he was saved by the war- a redemption', he calls it. He does not seem to have been popular at the war. He was a 'patriot', and the ordinary grousing infantry- men found him a prig. An emotional idealist has no place in the lousy, scrounging life of the trenches, and, after all, good-fellowship is of far more importance there than heroics. Perhaps this explains why a man who is supposed to be so loyal to his old comrades has not elevated any of his wartime friends, with the exception of his sergeant-major, Max Amann. Hitler undoubtedly has a very complex personality. People like Sta- lin and Mussolini are much simpler--easier to analyse and understandg but there is something elusive about Hitler, and one feels that the simplest so- lutions fall short of the whole truth. He is primarily a dreamer, a vision- aryg and it is his dreaminess that hard-bitten advisers like Goebbels and Goring have capitalized. He is so transparently honest when he is weaving visions of his own creation that nobody can doubt him. He is ready, like a medieval saint to go through fire and water for his beliefs. A strange man, this Adolph Hitler. He is infinitely polite and cour- teous in his interviews, pausing perceptibly after every statement in case there is something his questioner wishes to add. He is punctilious to the point of quixotism in acknowleding the salutes of his men and in himself saluting the standards. The odd feature is that he never seems at ease in formal gatherings or when being spoken to. He seems a hunted being and is always ready to find refuge in making a miniature speech, even when a question could be answered by a single word. In making a speech he is at least on firm ground. There he does not have to think, there he can let. himself go-for he has said it all thousands of times and will keep on say-- ing it until he dies. One must conclude that the future of Germany and the peace of the wcrld rest on the tangled working of the mind of one man, Adolph Hitler, whom not even his friends would call normal.

PT10119 335 The European Situation Europe today is a seething cauldron. Countries are at one another's throats, one nation is completely submerged and another partially so, but I do believe that war is not inevitable. Let us look at the situation from both sides. First of all, most people feel that a grave injustice has been com- mitted against the Czechs, not only by Germany but also by Britain. It is thought that Britain has lost many friends and much respect. Briefly the point is this. Hitler made his demands backed by Mussolini. Czechoslova- kia refused the demands, supported by Britain, France and Russia. This put Germany and Italy in a position quite unthought of by them a few days previously. The only thing to do was to back down as gracefully as pos- sible. Consequently a four power conference was invited, not a five power conference. Just one more snub for Russia. It was very plain to the Eng- lish people that Hitler was definitely afraid, yet when Britain and France held Germany in the palms of their hands, so to speak, they chivalrously gave the spoilt little boy just the thing he had threatened to fight for. Need we wonder that Russia accuses us of betrayal, that Germany and Italy laugh up their sleeves and sometimes openly, at those fool Englandersn, that France is not so sure that we shall not do the same to her as to Russia? Do you people in Canada realize that in the event of a war the British Navy is greater than the German and Italian combined, that the French, CContinued on Page 785 COMPLIMENTS OF Consolidated and 81 ravel Ltd.

HALL PARIS ONTARIO THE EUROPEAN SITUATION-Continued Russian and British Air Forces are far greater also, and the armies of Italy, Germany, Hungary and Poland are outnumbered three to one by the British, French and Russian? Germany at present has no money, but a tremendous debt. Italy is not much better off, due to her conquest of Ethiopia. There has been a lot of talk in Europe about Japan aiding Germany and Italy. You know as well as I that immediately war commenced the Soviet would swoop down on Japan and therefore the Nipponese would not be in a position to render much aid to Germany and Italy. But after being so pessimistic, let us look at the other side and, I hope, be more optimistic. We know that during that memorable week every- one realized what tremendous preparations had been made. Food prices were immediately stabilized, a complete scheme for the supply and control of food was disclosed together with the information that the country had stored sufficient essential foodstuffs to last a year. Air Raid Precautions were put in running order, and Auxiliary Fire Brigades were ready for ser- vice. There were respirators supplied to every civilian and with full in- structions how to make a room gas-proof. Trenches were dug overnight and before that fateful four power conference the civil population acted as a unit and the result was there for all to see. The readiness of the armed forces was taken for granted, but Britain has realized since that the peace tContinued on Page 803 COMPLETE OFFICE OUTFITTERS Office Furniture in Wood and Steel Filing Equipment, Lockers, Safes Waterman, .Sheaffer and Eveisharp Fountain Pens and Pencils Loose Leaf Books - Christmas Cards Hay Stationery Co.

Another is the discovery, while there may yet be time to repair the mischief, of grave defects in Britain's defences. The problem involves two main factors, organization and man power, and in the present temper of the country its solution will have to be thorough and complete. Upon that solution may depend the fate of the Empire. One thing more, but to me the most important, nothing could have brought the people of the Empire nearer to God. I believe that the Prime Minister, when he went to Munich, went not as a politician but as a Christ- ian, working not only in the interests of the Empire but also in the interests of world peace. Need we wonder that the people themselves turned to their Maker, prayed for peace during the crisis and gave thanks to God when the tension lessened? Therefore, may we not leave this and all the great crisis of life in His hands. Yours sincerely, Gordon T. Parsons.

We hope, dear readers, you will realize this and give them your pat- ronage. We are most grateful also to Mr. Butcher and Mr. Smith whose assist- ance was invaluable. Mr. Smith especially deserves much credit because it was he who took all the pictures and corrected all the copy. We are grate- ful also to Miss Rae who instructed the Grade IX pupils in making posters to advertise our book. Thanks are due too, to those Commercial pupils who willingly spent their time typing copy. The never-failing interest of the Canadian Legion is greatly appreciated, most of all by those who won the prizes in the Essay Contest sponsored by that organization. Mention must be made here of the Exchange. We received many maga- zines, no two alike, yet all lively and bursting with that sense of patriotism seen in every school. We are glad to get their opinion of our book so that we may be enabled to see where improvements may be made. Finally we wish to thank the members of our Committees who worked untiringly that this Year Book might be a success. W. R. CAMPBELL AUDREY BROOKS. Chairman of Management Committee.

His earliest work was land-surveying, a task which he accom- plished with great exactness. However his interest was soon directed t0- ward the railroad which had just made its debut in Canada. His intense in- terest in his work caused him to rise by rapid strides until in 1863 he was appointed engineer-in-chief of the Inter-Colonial Railway from Halifax to Quebec. It was he who surveyed much of the territory for the Canadian Pacific Railway. An account of that journey may be found in Dr. Grant's Ocean to Ocean . However the completion of that railway did not see him satis- fied. His next work-that of systematizing railway time-has proved to be one of greatest importance to the travelling world. Besides being an outstanding engineer and a practical scientist, his abil- ity as a writer led him to relate in excellent style his work in the building of the great railways. In 1880 he was elected Chancellor of Queen's University, a position which he held until his death in 1915. In his honour, a memorial scholar- ship in mathematics has been established in that University-truly a worthy emblem for a worthy man. This account is included here because one of our students, Kathleen Butcher, won this scholarship this year. SWITCH T0 DODGE IN 1939 I AND SAVE MONEY I Vx N ,f f f'!!!!, 2-fmt? 1 IIB X .
