6 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK LLOYD DOUGLAS HAMILTON Lloyd Douglas, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hamilton, was born north of Paris in the year 1923. The first few years of his life were spent on his fathers' farm in the beautiful surroundings of Paris. And then school days came! 1 Lloyd's preliminary education was obtained at Wrig1ey's Corners. Here the shy little red-head became the favourite of the teachers, and great was their sorrow when he graduated in 1936, at the age of 13. In September of that year he brightened the halls of P.H.S. During the years he spent here, he won many friends, and proved himself a very good scholar. He was always active in school activities, and served as form represen- tative for the athletic association in 1937. Lloyd is now living at home. We all wish him every success. J. B.
