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.

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.

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.
