PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 5 'vafecliclozy By Austin E. Sibbick Mr. Butcher, Teachers, Fellow Graduates, Ladies and Gentlemen: To-night, we, as a class, have reached the first milestone along the road of life. As we pause to look back over the year spent under this roof, we experience a strange feeling of regret and satisfaction. Ever since we began our studies here, our eyes have been turned to this hour as the goal of our ambitions. We have studied for it, planned for it, thought for it, as the realization of our hopes and desires. But now that it has come, we feel a longing for those happy times hat were ours in the days gone by. We did not fully realize how much our Field Days, Literary meetings, At Homes, and inter-mural games really were a part of our everyday lives. We have learned many lessons, some of them well. We realize that the most important lessons are not found in the text-books. As We step out of school-life into lifeis school, we are conscious that the hardest lessons are yet to come. A H The graduating class wants me, I am sure, to convey their thanks to the members of the Board of Education for the interest they have shown in our welfare. To Mr. Butcher and his fire stall of teachers should go a great deal of credit for our present position as graduates. They were always ready and willing to help us over any obstacle along the way. Those still here at school are very fortunate to have teachers so capable and understanding. We also give our thanks to Miss Watt and Mr. Tate for their part in making our life here more pleasant. As we assemble here to-night, our thoughts go out to those who are in the uniform of King and country. As for those who have paid the supreme sacrifice, no words can adequatelyexpress our feelings of pride and sor- rcw. They gave their all that freedom might yet live in this world of ours. We certainly hope that when the final cost in lives is reckoned, the price will not be too high. Now we must separate to go our different ways, to live the lives to which we shall be called, no longer as a class but as individuals. We all have a part to play in the better world that must come after peace has once again settled over this earth. There will be trying days ahead, as there have been in the past. Each one of us must be willing to do his part to make his community, his province and his country a Hner place in which to live. And now the time has come for us to depart, and only one word is left to be said: Farewell, this is the first, the worst farewell, Gocd-bye to the long dream, I hear the tolling of my boyhood's knell, And I must cross the stream. 1 I 6 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 Commencement The Annual Commencement Exer- cises were held in the High School auditorium on Friday evening, No- vember 12. As the audience of graduates, par- ents, pupils and friends assembled musical numbers were supplied by Marilyn Appleby, Elizabeth McCow- an, Grace Nuttall and Jean Sutor. The Principal presided for the pro- gramme which opened with the sing- ing of O Canada . In his Chair- man's address, Mr. Butcher welcom- ed all who had shown their interest in the school by their presence on this occasion. He regretted that one of the Board of Education, Mr. Geo. Telfer, was unable to be present and spoke highly of this member's never failing interest in the school and its welfare. In noting the changes in the staff, he said that three teachers had resigned last summer-the greatest number since 1925. Each of these had made a disiinctive contribution to the cause of education in Paris, and he was sure that their suc- cessors were loyally upholding the tradition for scholarship in this school. He was pleased to announce that two Proficiency Scholarships have been given recently. The first tvalue 825.005 is given by Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Creeden in loving memory of their son P. O. Waldron Creeden, D.F.M. The other tvalue 850.005 is to be given annually by the Board of Education. He expressed his grati- tude to all the donors of Scholarships for he felt that these encourage stud- ents to continue their education and develop their talents. He added that he would be pleased to have Profic- iency Scholarships for Grades XII, XI, etc. After a brief explanation of the award, Mr. Butcher presented the let- ter P -the highest award oifered by Paris High School for achieve- ments in academic studies and extra- curricular activities. Arnold Hutty, accompanied at th: piano by Verna Hutty, favoured with a viclin solo-a medley of Patriotic Airs. Before presenting the Diplomas, Mr. Walter Billings, Chairman of thc Board of Education, congratulated the graduales and thanked Mr. Butcher and the teachers for their good work in these difficult times. He regretted that some of the graduates who are serving in the Forces were unable to be present- Arthur Elson, Donley Mogan and Arthur Pike. Arthur El- son enlisted in the R.C.A.F. on Aug. 16th, 19435 Donley Mogan enlisted in the R.C.A.M.C. on June 18, 1943, while a student in Grade XIIIQ and, Arthur Pike enlisted in the R.C.A.F. cn September 6th, 1943. After the presentation of the Se- ccndary School Honour Graduation Diplomas, Mary and Ruth Geiger played a piano duet, Hungarian Dance No. 5, by Brahms and re- sponded to an encore with Moment Musicale . The Principal then presented the Intermediate Certificates, and after- wards the seven Honour Matricula- tion Schoarships, the Wally Cree- den Memorial Scholarship and the Commercial Scholarship were pre- follows: CDonated by Miss Helen -Elizabeth McCowan-pre- Principal Butcher.

In making the first award of the Wally Creeden Memorial Scholar- ship to Robert Butcher, the boy re- ceiving the highest aggregate on the Departmental Examinations, Mrs. Creeden said she was presenting the Scholarship not only in memory of her son but also in memory of all the other boys from Paris High School who had given their lives in this war. A violin solo, In a Monastery Garden, played by Marilyn Appl:- by, accompanied at the piano by Elizabelh McCowan received contin- ued applause. Before calling on Austin Sibbick to give the Valedictory, Mr. Butcher ex- plained how the Valedictorian was chosen. After Austin's address Grace Nuttall, the school pianist, led the assembly in community sing- ing of several patriotic numbers. A one-act play, The Dear De- parted was presented by the pupils of Grade XII, under the direction of Dorothy James. When the play opens, Mrs. Slater tMabel Holderj, Henry Slater CDonald Munnj and their little girl Victoria CAnna Ham- ilton? are awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Slater's sister, Mrs. Jordan CBetty Folsetterj and her husband, Ben Jordan Clan Robinson! to whom they have sent word of the death of Mrs. Slater's father. Soon after the Jordan's arrive the sisters begin to argue about the distribution of their father's belongings. When Victoria is sent to get something from grand- fath2r's room, she returns with the startling news that grandfather, Ab- el Merryweather, fJohn Cochraneh is getting up. CGrandfather had been indulging too freely and had sunk into a deep sleep.J He is very much enraged with the attitude of his daughters and the play ends with the stariling news that he will need to live with neither one of the daugh- ters as he is going to get married on Monday! As the Athletic Medals had not ar- rived at the conclusion of the play. Mr. Butcher called to the platform the Athletic Champions and the girls who were to receive a medal for the winning of the Award for Leadership and introduced them to the audience. The Champions were Robert Grieve, Wallace Jones and John Grieve. The girls who were to receive the Award for Leadership were Kathryn Appleby, Jean Sutor. Dorothy James and Mary Geiger. The Principal explained that under the new athleic system the girls en- joy a Play Day which develops team 8 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 work rather than a Field Day which develops individual skill. Thus, the' Award for Leadership was organized to take the place of the girls' Ath- letic Championship. After the singing of God Save the King, the staff entertained the grad- uates, the donors of Scholarships and the Board of Education at an infor- mal reception in one of the class- rooms, which had been suitably de- corated for the occasion. Music for dancing in gymnasium was donated by Bert Cross and his orchestra-. We wish to thank the or- chestra, Bert Cross, Stuart Cowan. Rcy Miton, Don Munn, Willard Price and Willard Tottle.

A squat, brass-buttoned subordinate strutted arrogantly to the desk. This guy Wants to see our Por- trait Gallery! Take him to the Grey Room! A flicker of recognition sparkled from the depths ofthe sub- crdinate's eyes. Righto, Chief! he snapped and I was whisked abruptly into a clammy chamber of four grey walls, all stock- ed with huge tomes. Well, how are you, Moe? asked Price after we were safely out of the Chief's reach. What- stroke of fate brings you here? ' 'Tm here to look up the record ol one, Alan the Barron.

I thought Marie would take up singing for her ca- reer. Oh, she did, but that was just a means of getting into Society so that she and Betsy Jane could carry on their devastating work with less fear of suspicion. Well, that is something! Say, have you heard how Austin Sibbick is, lately? Oh sure, we have him lock-ed up now-just brought him in the other day. He is the most dangerous crim- inal the world has ever known. He admits having learned his tactics from discussions during Mr. Smith's History class. Say, do you remember Bill Ronald and Art Elson? Well, after the War, they joined a travel- ling theatre company and enacted a gangster ,skit which they presented very cleverly. One night they pre- sented it so realistically on the main street of a small town that the police took them in. They are still trying to prove their innocence. Marg, Veit and Bob Hough went into partnership and owned a Chemi- cal Factory. They raked in millions by blowing it up periodically and collecting the insurance on it. But the last time they tried this the fuse went off too soon and they were blown up with it.

Marjory stated that she couldn't shorten' her life by degrees but that she could gladly take her out of her misery any time that she was tired of living. Well, that's interesting, isn't it?

Her dazzling' blue eyes glared men- acingly, and an unbecorning sneer came over her well-featured face as she said, Yes, Aloysius Gadabout Othwhite, you have ruined my life. I, who have slaved for you for years now have been hurled aside. I-ler whole body seemed to quiver, and she blurted out tearfully: Have I not reared nine beautiful children for- you? Have I not taken in washing in the thin years? In ad- dition to running a cutting press a', Massey-Harris, have I not given you half my coffee ration? At this she slumped over the oak-- en table in the centre of the room- The streamlined figure of Sally Oth-- white turned limp.

Men and Women, most of them shabbily dress- ed, were gathering together in lit- tle groups, talking and glancing fear- fully at a ramshackle buildingg A. few minutes before, seemingly from an upper story, a muffled shot had broken the silence. Immediate- ly a policeman had rushed up and entered the house with drawn gun. The inmates had come tumbling, out, excited and afraid. , Suddenly the policeman appeared on the rickety, wooden ire-escape that hung' from the side of the build-- ingp Surround the house, he shout- ed to the crowd. There's a murder- er in the house. You, Joe, ring into PARIS 'HIGH SCHOOL 'YEAR BOOK, 1943 ll headquarters to send a squad P. D. xQ. Then the blue-coat ducked back into the house through the low, wood- 'en door. Like grey, ghostly shadows in the semi-darkness the crowd spread .around the front and down the alley, watching for the murderer. At the :same ti.me the squad car, siren screaming, and tires shrieking on the wet pavement, tore up to the house .and four blue-coats jumped out. Two .dashed into the house while the oLh- 'er two stood guard outside The suspense and anxiety deep- vened. The crowd remained motion- less and silent, watching the house and the two policemen. Inside the now deserted room one, lone crimin- al and three policemen were playing a hide-and-seek of life and death. The Watchers on the street did not know what was happening. Fearful- ly they waited in the misty dark- ness. Suddenly there was a crash of glass, a few hurried footsteps, and then silence again. The crowd shuf- fled uneasily and backed up a few steps. Again they heard footsteps, this time of a man .running on the roof. One of the policemen that had gone into the house shouted, Stop or I'll shoot! But the hurried footsteps kept on. Every eye turned fearfully to the roof of the live-story building. A :dim grey shadow appeared at the edge, groping for the fire escape. A gasp of terror rose from the crowd. The criminal stopped and looked down. For the lirst time he saw that there were 'people below. Quick- ly he scrarnbed back on to the flat roof and crouched hesitantly on the edge. Then he took a last look behind him, poised himself on 'the roof's edge, uttered a horribly pier- cing scream, and jumped into space. At the same time the three police- men appeared, guns in hand, bull: just too late to catch him. A few minutes later the ambulance the battered, smashed form that a moment a human being. carried away and bleeding ago had been melted away into the The crowd clainmy darkness. Zine fuwuif By Don Stickland im Asterbilt furtively held the apartment door open with his foot while he fumbled the key out of the lock and into his pocket. Then he slipped inside and closed the door softly behind him. Quickly he step- ped towards a long, winding stair- case across the hall, and hastily clambered up the carpeted stairs. Reaching into his pocket again, he pulled out another key, which he hurriedly inserted into the keyhole of apartment B B at the top of the stairs. With a lunge he threw open the door and rushed over to the win- dow on the opposite side of the room. He was breathing hard. He carefully parted the curtains and peered into the street below. Im- mediately beneath the window was the entrance he had so recently en- 12 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 tered. Not a soul was visible on the lonely Boulevard. Surely his suspicious were un- founded! Yet even then he felt that a pair of sinister eyes were closely watching the apartment house. Sud- denly, far up the street, he saw a vague form flitting in and out be- hind the long line -of trees bordering the roadway. Closer the figure came, until it was right in front of 'the building. It appeared to be that of an old man dressed in a shabby over- coat. Breathlessly Jim watched the man creep cautiously up to the door. Timidly at first the fellow knockedg then he tried the handle. Finding the door locked, he quickly Whipped out a small object and placed it on the step. Then, to Jim's amazement, he turned and skooted away as fast as his heels would carry him. A panic gripped Jim's heart as he watched the mysterious figure dis- appear into the distance. His heart 'jumped into his mouth when he re- called how countless characters of his favourite murder stories stories had been obliterated by an innocent looking time-bomb. Speed was essential now. He quick- ly retraced his steps and rushed back down the stairs, grabbing the fire extinguisher from off the wall as he dashed by. u There it Was, a small white object sticking under the door. Cautiously his fingers reached down to grasp it. He half expected to be blown into small pieces the moment his fingers touched it. But strange to say, no explosion occurred! Slowly and less fearfully he drew a white envelope from under the door. He gingerly peeked inside, now expecting a threatening letter. To his surprise a peculiar sort of tin- type photograph fell out together with a letter. As you passed our Studio down town this afternoon we took a candid photograph of you. If you are pleas- ed with our work you may acquire other copies at the studio by enclos- ing 25c in coin with this coupon. A marvellous offer! The Blurrem Studios. Hmm, mused Jim as he stared at the caricature of his more or less handsome face, no Wonder the fel- low ran away. Uh! Oh! By Robert Butcher ,ohn Jackson came briskly into the living room. Good morning, good morning, he cried eifusively as he grasped the hand of his visitor, a slight, meek-looking man. Yes, very nice. I am . . . Yes, yes. I was expecting you,' replied John heartily. It really is a nice house, isn't it? Couldn't de- mand anything better. Yes, beautiful, replied the man timidly as he looked around the well- furnished room. But I . . . H I know what you are thinking about-the walls in the nursery. Well, you know how children like to draw on walls. It is really n-ot very noticeable, replied John hurriedly in a slightly apolegetic voice. I wouldn't worry about that for you see . . . I know. You want to know about those paint streaks on the outside of the house. You understand these children, he interrupted hastily. Doesn't concern me in the least, 'PARIS 'HIGH 'SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 13 said his visitor in a more determined voice. Yo-u see I came to . . Of course, interrupted John with an ingratiating smile, 'I'1l see about that to-morrow. The rent will be at your office before you arrive there to-morrow. Oh, the telephone! Ex- cuse me for a minute, please. After a moment, during which the visitor seemed to be trying to gather all his courage for the act of tremen- dous importance, John returned to the room. That plumber! he mut- tered. Who does he think that he is? Calling me and telling me that he can't come over until to-morrow! I cut .right in on his excuses and told him what he could do he wasn't over heme in ten nuinutesf' Well, if Ayou're expecting com- pany,,' replied the visitor .in a deter- mined voice, I'll get that pipe Hxed and be away before he arrives. Pipe fixed! Don t tell me that you are the . . . Oh! oh! oh! what will my landlord think of me for shouting at him like that? . Zhe Uhelt J was sure that Tom was the thief. I knew the moment I saw him glance shiftily around the room that lovely spring day as the principal vainly announced, A generous re- ward will be given to anyone who finds the thief of the stolen property by the person who lost this treasure. Thirty pairs of pitying eyes turn- ed to gaze at me: I lowered my head, the tears nearly brimming over again. Yes, I was the one, the vic- tim of such a ruthless crime. Why, I think I would rather have been murdered. As our last class drew to a close, my eyes again caught out suspicious- looking Tom. I decided I would fol- low him. As he left the room, I cautiously trailed out behind him. Before he went down the stairs, he again cast a hurried, half-frightened glance around the fast-emptying hall. But luckily I had foreseen this contingen- cy and was studiously looking at the Bulletin Board when he turned around. With a sudden spurt, he left the building-I close on his heels. Crou- ching near the ground behind the bushes, I followed the scoundrel to the bicycle shed. 'Here only two 'bi- cycles remained. My heart leapt as I realized I was now near my price- less possession. From the window I saw Tom again make a careful survey of the shed and the ground about it, a desperate look on his face. Suddenly I realiz- ed that, while in possession of such a valuable article, he would stop at nothing to keep it. I wondered if I should have brought some of my pals with me. But I did not have time to worry now. The thief stealthily ap- proached the other side of the shed and, stooping, raised a board near the wall and feverishly began digging in the loose earth with his bare fingers. I hastily yet silently crept into the shed, grabbing a heavy wrench from a shelf near the door. At last, with a cry of exultation. the criminal seized something from the deep hole he had dug. I rushed towards him and brought the wrench down on the back of his head. With a deep groan,- he crumpled to the floor. Then I grabbed my real rubber eraser from his now still fingers and rushed jcyfully out of the shed. 14 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 Ute ueat By Eva.

The inky blackness was suddenly illuminated by the flare of a match. Its flickering light revealed a dus- ty, gloomy room with furniture shrouded in rumpled, gumy dust- sheets. It cast weird shadows on the dark, grim face of a tall, thick-set man and the pale, lined features of a small woman. The man's dark, heady eyes peered intently into the moving shadows. The woman trem- bled by his Side. It's sure cold and eerie in here, Tiny, she whispered. H-m, assented her grim compan- ion. Now, where did you say it is? She hesitated, but the hard face of her companion, almost ghostly in the semi-darkness, compelled her to speak. O-o-o-ver there by the door-the one leading into the hall, by that pic- ture. Oh, yeah, muttered the man. Eagerly he stepped towards the door. But suddenly the match burned out, and again left the room in a silent, heavy darkness. The man swore. And my last match. Nevertheless he crept unhesitantly forward, nearly forgetting the wo- man, now bent only on his quest. His steps never faltered. Stealthily he approached his go-al. Suddenly, shat- tering the dark silence, a smug, well- pleased sigh escaped his lips, then . . I've got it, he cried joyfully. The room was flooded with a quick, bright light. He turned smilingly to the woman, It's a wonder I found tne switch at all, darling-especially after a two months' vacation. al w.,..1.1.Jse werent .No one saw Lola come down the stairs. She had a way of going about unnoticed. As she placed her trembling hand on the brass door knob she hesitated for a moment, glanced behind her at the closed liv- ing-roc-m door, then resolutely walk- ed out of the house. Her mind was made up and she was not going to weaken now. The army needed girls like her. Lola had wanted to join the army for a long, long time but her mother had objected. There was plenty of time after she finished school, her mother had said. Anyway, Lola was far too young to go away from home. But after turning the questions over carefully in her mind, Lola decided that she was not too young. As she hurried along the frozen walks to the station, Lola thought of how proud her mother would be when she saw her in her army uni- form. At last she reached the station just as the train was pulling in. When the conductor came around to collect her ticket, she handed him her life's savings. How old are you little girl? ask- ed the conductor as he eyed the well- worn dime. Pm eight and I am not a little girl, replied Lola indignantly. Pm going away to join the army. ' At the next stop, the tearful Lola was left with the station agent to await the arrival of a train horne- ward bound. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 15 ca,tzi..e4 By Willard Price Jt was a Sunday afternoon in No- vember and a wet mist hung heavy on the street. The uniformed man in the room backed away from the window. He shrugged his should- ers like a very tired and worried per- son. Those cursed Germans have COTTA- pletely surrounded the city. They outnumber us ten to one in equip- ment and men, but we will hang on until every one of us has been elim- inatedf' He sat down and reached for a te- lephone. With chest out and should- ers back he barked into the mouth- piece, This is Colonel Shansky. Tell every man, woman and child to keep fighting! Do not give one inch of ground to the enemy. Answer their cannon and machine guns with rifles and hand grenades until all you can answer with is your own blood. He looked up and spoke sharply to his aide for the first time, As soon as I finish writing these orders, de- liver them to Captain Tim O'Shenko on the left bank. He wrote quickly. Suddenly a drone of aeroplanes, high overhead, pene- trated the thick walls of the room. The blitz was well underway, too well underway. The colonel's terrified glance met the horrified expression of his aide. The aide shrieked with horror. Oh colonel, they have come. They have broken through! Footsteps clattered down the corri- dor of the building. There were four of them in their greyish uniforms. Two seized the colonel while the other two threw the aide to the floor and bound him up. As they went out the door one spoke, Every two weeks you two guys go on the blink and have to be straight-jacketed. Between you two and Mahatma Ghandi down the hall, we don't get a moment's peace! The footsteps died away, and peace reigned once more. .fbawning ,Cove By Betlh Holder 0 swald had just turned the corner of Grand River Street into Bau- field when he saw her. Although he prided himself on being a gentleman he could only stand still and stare. Gliding gracefully, toward him, her lithe body swaying ever so slightly, was the most beautiful creature he had even seen. She had beautiful jade green eyes with sparkling amber lights, a well- cut and sensitive nose, and a soft, pink mouth. With an effort Oswald controlled himself, but he could not quite man- age to suppress the gleam of admir- ation in his eye. Perceiving his boldness, the lady gave him a glassy stare from her cool, green eyes and minced arrog- antly past without so much as mov- ing an inch to avoid rubbing against him.

Usually the number var- ies from 50 to occasionally 200. On most sheep ranches the number will vary from 1000 to 3000, or perhaps more. Another factor easternsrs find 'hard to visualize is the vastness of a wes- tern ranch. It is not uncommon for a ranch to have a total area of 36 square miles. Our particular ranch has, in round Hgures, over 4000 ac- res of grazing land. On this area we feed from 1200 to 1500 sheep, 20 head of cattle, and 18 horses. I im- agine a block of land that size in the East! The herder really has quite an easy time. He has only to watch out for coyotes, keep the flock from spreading out too much, and keep them under control in a storm. Gen- erally, herding consists of taking the sheep to the better grazing areas, and seeeing that they get plenty of water. The sheep dogs save the herder thousands of steps a day. The herd- er, standing on a hill top, signals to the dogs, often half a mile away. These dogs acre usually a very intel- ligent border collies. Contests are held annually at the Moose Jaw Breeder Show, to try the dogs one against. the other in ability to hand- le sheep. Perhaps you have heard cf, or even seen, Martin and his fa- mous sheep dogs. The lambing season, coming in May, is the busiest time of the year, It is still pretty cold, but it is sur- prising the amount of cold the lambs can stand. Most of the lambs are born around the home corral. Those born in the hills are brought in in a wagon. When the lambs are two to three days old, their mothers will do all the looking after them. By this time the 'bad actors' are picked out and put in pens 3' x 3 until they like their offspring better. For this reason We try to keep each day's lambs in a separate bunch for at least two days. Then they are put in with another bunch Csmall flockb, and so on until they are finally put into the largest bunch. ,-vw ' N4-l QQ .Mug-INV Below, Grade X11 P333 Key on opposite Above, Grade XI PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 17 During the lambing season there is enough to keep three men busy. The herder, of course, is busy look- ing after the main flock during the day and also Lhelps out at night by getting up a couple of times to put the new-bc-rn lambs and niothers iii- to the shedi During the day at least one, better' two, are kept busy mo- thering up the lambs and turning them out 'to feed, looking after those ,kept in the shed. and later bringing in the diiferent bunches. ' ll x. l. Haying is started in the West about the first Eof July and lasts pos- sibly until harvest. So you can see there is no definite haying season. The hay consists chiefly bffcrested wheat, 'sweet clover and prairie'hay. The hay is stacked in the fields due to the unlikelihood of frequent heavy rains. The haying lasts for quite a winter. Sheep will graze pretty Well if the snow is not too deep andif there is not too much crust. ' ' Shearing is done sometime in the latter part of May. As a rule it takes three days for a flock of 1200. It is done by a gang of six or eight men who go from ranch to ranch. A good shearer can shear from 70 to 100 sheep a day. The fleeces are tied individually and are packed in- to large sacksf Later these sacks are shipped to Ontario where the wool is graded and processed. A In the fall of the year the wether lambs and old ewes are shipped to Moose Jaw for sale or to buyers in Ontario or Alberta. They are therii fed during the Winter, and gradually? put on the market. ' I hope that this short article has yvhile, for a large flock will get out-- given a general idea of a ' western' side of a lot of feed if it: is a' hard u sheep ranch. ' X ' tj' I ' ' L L: . . .l.

ISS PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, I943 Zfzana ifion PARIS HIGH SCHOOL IN 1925 J 12 gifted with Supermarfs mar- vellous X-ray eyes, you were m peer intently into the comer-stone of Paris High School, you would make an interesting discovery. What you would see there is revealed in the following news-item: from The Star-Transcript of Wednesday, Au- gust 29. 1923. It reads as follows: There was a good attendance last Saturday afternoon of members of the Board of Education, Town Coun- cil, and others, at the function in connection with the laying of the cor- ner of the new 580,000 high school. Mr. Ernest Apps, chairman of the Board, presided on the occasion, and after welcoming all present, briefly referred to the object of the gather- ing, He then called upon Rev. J. C. Nicolson who offered the dedicatory prayer. To Miss I-L. McCosh, the first and only lady member of the' Board of Education, was accorded the honor of laying the corner-stone, during which Miss McCosh aptly spoke of the necessity of high schools and of the great benefit education was, not only to the boys and girlsg but to the community at large. En- closed in an iron box were copies of the Toronto Globe and the Mall: and Empire , The Paris Star-Tran- script , the Voters' list of 1922, and the Financial Statement of the town, a silver coin of each denomination, of the vintage of 1923, and a Union Jack. On a scroll were also the names of the members of the Board of Education and Town Council. The box containing above was placed in a cavity in the corner stone, the cap put and duly sealed. The proceed- ings closed with the singing of the Naiional Anthem. After the stowing away of these 'PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 lil treasures for posterity, the construc- tion of the school was carried rapid- ly forward, until finally, on March 28. 1924, all was ready for the offic- ial opening. The Star-Transcript again states in part: The formal op- ening of the New High 'School last Friday evening will go down in his- tory as one of time red letter events in connection with Paris. From the hour of seven o'clock until past ele- ven, when the building was open to the public for inspection, it is esti- mated that some fifteen hundred from town and disfrict took advant- age of same. In the gymnasium sev- eral hundred had assembled, and which had been handsomely decorat- ed with flags and bunting for the oc- casion under the direction of C. B. Robinson. During the evening capi- tal selections were rendered by the Kuhlman Orchestra of Paris . . Miss I-Iopg Dunton favored with a recita- tion in her usual winning manner . , . Mr. E. O. Apps, chairman of the Boardg the Honorable J. S. Martin, Provincial Minister of Agricultureg Professor A. T. McCrimmon, ex- Chanicellor of McMaster University and Professor Maybury of Stratford made addresses. This brought a most enjoyable evening to a close. The following is a list of the pre- sent Board of Education: E. O. Apps CChairmanJ, Dr. D. Dunton, Dr. F. Barron, H. C. O'Neail, Dr. W. Gould, Dr. W. Logie, D. A. Briggs, J. P. Gregory, F. Luck, George L. Telfer, Frank Huson and D. McTavish. Three members of the last year's board who were warmly interested in the erection of the new High School were Andrew Taylor, Duncan Telfer, and Miss H. McCosh. The majority of the 131 contem- porary pupils were relrcant to 'leave the old High School, and at first th'-:F were unhappy in their new palatial academy. They resented being torn from all the hallowed memories and traditions of the venerable Old High, and being shunted into a new, shiny, rectangular box, that 'somehow had the unpleasant air of a rich upstart. The mood of one pupil is feeling- ly revealed in the following sketch It was eaglv spring when we moved from the old High School to he new. The daffodils were blow- ing goldenly against the old brick Walls, and the Campus was brightly green at the old school when we left.: when we arrived at the new, we advanced up the slick, new pave- ments between seas of mud, and the only campus we had was a rough field at the back, where cows had browsed six months earlier. The change was heralded by a certain amount of excitement on the part of the pupils and staff: but un- derneath was a nagging, wistful feel- ing of nostalgia. The sensation one has when leaving a shabby, comfort- able home for a fine, new apartment. There were no formal speeches by the mayor or the president of the school board. We simply packed up our books and betook ourselves to the ostentatiously new building at the other end of the town. We tour- ed t.he wide halls and bright rooms, peeked into the laboratory with its excellent equipment, and viewed with alarm the square, dark cham- bers that were designated as com- modious lunch rooms. We had been accustomed to eating in a convivial group of both boys and girls in the big downstairs room that was second form at the Old High. Of course we enjoyed the gm- ...W . -.- - - -- -.-.,. -. , 20 --- PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 H nasium and the subsequent games that we played there, but those pleas- lrires were practically offset' by the ,act that there were windows in the doors of all the classrooms. We re- sented it terribly, andlwheneverxone of the teachers or the principal pass- ed by and eyed us through the glass, we fastened him orlher a unit- ed, resentful stare which. was even rnore hostile because it had no appar- ent effect. , After.two days We,.all agreed that we hated and loathed the new school, and we wished that we.could go back to the old one. It took at least a month before We settled down and decided .that.it wasn't such a bad 'place after all. , Unbekno.wn to us,. though, , we had passed, notmonly from one school to another but fromwone era into an- other. Coincidentally with your gration, Victorianism breathed its last. and we were coming into what was called the flapper age. Skirts that had hung modestly between the knee and the ankle suddenly ascend- ed to heights well above the knee. Girlish, rounded figures became un- fashionable, and . tomboy'? outhts were the order of the day. They con- sisted of boy's shirts and ties ,and very short, tight skirts, Simultan- eously off came the girl's hair .and ninety percent of them sported boy- ish bobs with hair shingled like. a man's. It was also at this time that the slang term, Hot dog , swept, not only the school, but the whole of the North American continent. . It was the birth of slang as a living part of the American language. Is it any wonder that we allfelt a bit befuddled? Two years before, in the winter, the girls had unquest- icningly worn what was then referr- ed to as our long underwea1 '. We folded them as. neatly as possible around. our ankles -and pulled our warm hose over them, The high- laced boots covered the worst of the bulgss.. A neat, slim ankle was not a required feminine charm, We were quite resigned to the 'fact that our ankles had the same general contour as those of an elephant. Not years, but months later, We all threatened to die if our mothers did not ,at once supply us with silk stockingsl A charming coiffure also disap- peared from public view at about this time. It was called 'tcootie-de-lod- ges. ' I can offer no alternative name, as I know no other. It con- sisted of taking the sideuhair, back combing it industriously, and smooth, ing it into great puffs over theears. It gave the general effect of large, bulbous ear-muffs. The top hair was brought in a low swoop over the forehead and the back firmly held in place by a hair ribbon or a barret. With the outward changes came many others, equally revolutionary, The charleston, forerunner of the big' apple, was the dance cfm the day. Gone was the comparative dignity of the waltz and forg- trot. .We charlestoned to and from class. We charlestoned down the street and even in our rooms at night in front of the mirror to attain that essential degree of perfection. She by Rider Haggard was the po- pular novel of the day, replacing I., MQ. Montgomery's. 'fAnne of Green Gables. Rudolph Valentino was our hero, .and the most admired b,oy.Iat school was a sloezeyed lad who walk- ed with. the sinuousgraceof a pan- ther. Radios were becoming popul- ar.

That occurred in 1922. It was in 1925 that the magazine f'True Story came, if not onto the market, at least into our ken.

During good weather he rode a bicycle to and from school, and I like to recall one incident that was indi- cative of his quiet wisdom and hu- mour. A window in the girls' cloak room opened on the rear of the campus. One of the girls, whose father was a members of the school board, decid- ed to skip out that way one morning. CHer reason for so doing has entire- ly escaped me.J The window was high, and as she dangled precarious- ly from the sill and searchied with a ' investigative foot for a familiar ledge she found herself resting on an alien objec.t. Glancing down, she discov- ered to her horror that .she was step- ping on the seat of Dr. Be1l's bicycle. He was standing at a short distance interestedly viewing her descent. He gallantly assisted her to the ground and suggested that she call on him in his offioe at four o'c1ock, a summons that in his regime almost invariably meant expulsion. Throughout the entire day the unfortunate girl perspired in antici- patory terror. When she finally pre- sented herself that afternoon at Dr. Be1l's office, he gave her a letter and told her in ominous tones to take it to her father. Knowing that there was no alternative, she carried it home, handed it to her father and waited in the calm of ultimate des- pair. Her father opened it, eyed ii mildly, and said, Another board meeting. Well! Well! So, I like to think that on that final afternoon, when we all packed up our books and filed out of the old school with longing, backward glan- ces, Dr. Bel1's ghost stood quietly among the thousand shades that for- ever may haunt old abandoned halls of learning, and waved us a gentle and genial goodbye. Thus do the memories and tradi- tions of the Old High live on in the minds of its numerous alumni. The New High is still very youngg but it too is already rich in memories and traditions, which are as tangible and lasting as its treasure-bearing co-r- ner-stone. . Ofzid summed .9 'ufofzkecl .fn a waz Plant By Elaine Whitbread 0 ne day, very soon after the close of school last summer, I, feel- ing slightly shaky in the knees, walked into the front door of Cock-- shutt Moulded Aircraft Limited of Brantford. After a brief conversa- tion, the guard, a friendly, smiling man with a big revolver, took me to a bench to wait for the personnel di- rector. I remember thinking, as I sat there looking into the plant, how few people were in sight compared to the work that had to be done. But I was later to learn where a good majority of the people were con- cealed , for I was to work in the very same department that I first saw. After a wait of two hours, at last, I was interviewed, accepted and told PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 23 to report for work on the following morning. Through the personnel of- fice, a car from Paris was found in which I could ride each day to and from work. The next morning, the alarm clock rang at five-thirty 45.305 a.m. and an excited girl rose to dress. I met my car and driver, and, after a short journey, I was at time plant and ready to report for my first day of work. At seven o'clock, a time-keeper led me and several others through the plant to the school room, when I was introduced to my teacher. Here I was instructed in the proper use and care of such tools as the chisel, plane, sander, electric saw, hammer and cther devices which I would use on production. Day after day, after day, I planed and chiselled and saw- ed small pieces of wood until they fitted perfectly into the circles, cor- ners, triangles and weird shapes on my practice board. At last, after two weeks, I was con- sidered ready to go out into the plant. My teacher took me to the front of the building, to the part which I had first seen and here hand- ed me over to the care of the fore- man of Dept. Six, Sanding and Re- pair, who, in turn, gave me to the lead girl. With her, I quickly learned to repair the skins of the fuselage as they came from the Sand- ing Booth. This was my summer job. Now, let me explain the method by which they and I make a plane. It all starts in the Wrapping Room. Here, girls wrap long stripes of veneer, which may be 1127 or 1I20 thick, over a mandrel- a great piece of wood shaped exactly like a nose section, forward, centre or tail section of the plane,, the Anson V, a bomber trainer. This veneer is stapled to the mandrel with large staples shot from staple guns and then glued on top. Another strip of veneer is glu- ed on the bottom and is then stapled to the first layer. The forward sec'- tion is wrapped, the heaviest with 5 ply and 4 ply of veneer. The centre and tail sections are only three ply. Each ply is placed so that its grain is crossed against the preceding one. After it is wrapped, a mandrel is wheeled out to the cookers. These are oven-like affairs, large enough to hold the whole fuselage of a plane. The mandrels are placed in large, rubber, vacciamated bags and steam- cooked until the glue is dry. Then, when the skin is hammered up and off the mandrel, it is taken to the Sanding Booth and sanded smooth. Now, very often, the sanders sand a little too deep or even sand a hole right through the skin. And here is where my section of the department comes in. The marred skin is placed on wooden horses and cows. A patch of one, two, or three ply, depending on the depth of the wound, is glued to the skin in the same fashion as it is done in the Wrapping Room. While one person hammers a nailing strip to the skin, 'over the patch, another person sits under the skin, using a two-by-four to hold underneath strips up and the skin steady so that the patch will be nailed down tightly, with no bubbles in the veneer. To nail on a patch, one starts in the centre and works out both ways so the glue will spread evenly, all the excess going to the outside. A patch is left on, usually for twenty- four hours, and, after the nailing- strip is hammered up and torn oif, Ji 24 gkrns HIGH scHooL YEAR BOOK, 4943 g the skin is sanded again, over the batch. ,. 11 , . After a skin has left the sanding and repair gang, it is placed with a pnate in a jig or frame. The two like skins are glued together with strips of veneer. Ears are placed in each corner of the joint and fsplice bioerfsi' aiongit. A jig crfevv can usually do three skins a week. At the end of a session in the jigs, the doors, panels and other wooden fittings are placed and the skins are assembled to make a full fuselage- .When assembly is completed, each ship is mirveyed for accuracy by spe- cial university students. Each ship new goes to itinal repair, where tiny holes are filled with plastic wood and other such minor faults are correct- ed. Now the ship is transported to the Dope Shopf' Here, a linen-like ma- terial is stretched tightly Overtihe plane and the exterior is painted sil- ver. . l . J 'l..' At last, the ship is finished as far as this plant is concerned, and after being crated, it is shipped to receive wings, engine, undercarriage and tac- cessories. A ' And so, I spent my summer holi- days, learning about and helping to make the planes in which our pilots train. Each day brought some new excitement, adventure, friends, each day showed me a new way in which the Canadian workers is helping to end this war. ' ' 1 ' X --1.-iii, .meplence Zdaining By Helen Stockton onday, Wednesday and Friday are the days on which we have defxnce training. On Monday, 'itfs Meteorology. Mr. Butcher'tells us how clouds are formed, what differ- ent kinds of clouds there are, Why mists are formed, what effects rari- fied air has 'onl flying, he explains to ps troposphere and stratosphere and, in general, 'teaches us the meteorol- ogical course of the Air Force. At tour o'clock there is a rush for the barometer ffor it must be read every dayb, followed by a discussion on the velocity of the wind. If just the leaves and small branches are moy- ing, the velocity is about'on1y twelve .miles per hour, but if the large bran- Fhes are in motion, the yelocity is about twenty-five miles per hour. All this, we' estimate from the Beaix- fort Scale of wind force. Later in our course, we will have to read thermometer and give the kinds of clouds as well. About next March, we hope to be able to forecast thle weather for anyone, On Wednesday, our minds are oc- cupied with navigation. As the boys took part of this course last year, they have a head start. What usegit is to girls anyway is more than most feminine minds can see. However, it was an alternative between Naviga- tion or Applied Mathematics. So, now, we are struggling with the finding of the position of a place us- I, . . , J ii' C9 5 if o B91 on Opposite Page Y A Ke de IX- Above, Gra f PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 25 Xing degrees, minutes and seconds. 'What's a nautical mile? Why it's only seventy-six sixty-sixths of our ordinary statute mile. However, our .brains have to work when it comes 'to questions on bearing. Why the 'compass has to point to the magnetic north instead of the true north, is be- yond me. This fact gives us a grand UU opportunity for' finding the var- iation, the course magnetic and the course true. Of course, Mr. Calvert never runs out of such questions. On Friday, only the girls take Child Study. To realize the neces- sity of Child Study as a preparation for worthy community and national life, to get a clear, organized picture of child developmentg and to realize the necessity of Child Study for pro- per methods in child care, are only a few of our aims. It is not the aver- age child but the lively unpredict- able, human child that we are study- ing. Only by direct contact with the child do we believe 'that this can be done. Nearly every girl in our class has direct contact with these tiny tots through Sunday - School class- es, or smail brothers, sisters and friends. General discussions on such subjects as whether the general be- haviour of a child is inherited from its parents or entirely influenced by its environment, gives every girl a chance to express her own ideas and creates great interest. Of course, Miss Craig leads us in these discus- sions. In spite of the added homework. this new subject of defence training has added, I am sure this course will prove to be of some benefit in later' years, even to the girls. iT.-...i-.i.i KEY T0 GRADE IX-A Front Row Left to Righty: M.

Such was the scene at the annual At Home one beautiful night in March. The only exceptions to this romantic af- fair, were that the lights were eith- er too high or too low, the music was blaring from a nickelodeon, and the boy and girl were more than likely to be two girls, since P. H, S. is so sadly bereft of eligible males. The evening's entertainment had begun with an advertising game to detect which of the pupils had the best powers of observation While pe- rusing their favourite magazines in- stead of doing home-work. Agnes Johnson and Jack Wilson proved the most eagle-eyed. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 27 Then under the auspices of Mary Geiger, who had determined that a mere war shouldn't interfere with our food, the senior girls served a delicious lunch with-out the aid of ev- en one ration coupon. It was after this that the above described dancing began. While some were tripping the light fantas- tic, the other more staid and studious members retreated to the upper re- gions where Mr. Butcher and Mr. Smith sponsored a Quiz contest. When both brains and feet had given out, the pupils were greatly amused by clever impersonations of famous and infamous people given by a group of boys and girls. ' On the stroke of midnight, like Weary Cinderellas, the students sped homeward at the end of another suc- cessful At Home. X Agnes Johnson. EMPIRE DAY The Empire Day Meeting of the Literary Society commenced with the singing of O Canada. The Canadian Legion Public Speaking Contest was then held, the two con- testants being, Agn.es Johnson, who spoke on Canadian Women's Army Corps , and Elizabeth McCowan, who spc-ke on Queen Victoria. Mr. C. W. Butcher presented the cup to the winner Agnes Johnson. Mr. P.

To Eva Scott, captain of the Girls' Champion Bas- ketball Team, Mr. C. W. Butcher pre- sented Mrs. Bu'l:cher's Trophy. The prophecy for the year was then read by Donley Mogan. After the Critic's report and the singing of the Na- tional Anthem the meeting closed. Eva Scott. POSTURE WEEK Congratulations to Grade XII, Win- ners of the Posture Week compe- titions! At the end of last week Grade XII had the smallest average number of black marks for improper posture. On Friday afternoon the pupils of Grade XIII judged the pos- ter displays in the various rooms and gave their decision in favor of Grade XII, with Grade XI and Grade IX-A a very close second. In addition to these, there was a competition for the best poster. Priz- es of War Savings Stamps we1'e giv- en to the pupil who made the best poster in the school, and to the boy and to the girl of Grade IX who made the best poster. Donald Stick- land won the prize for the best pos- ter in the school, while Elise Pike, as second choice, won honorable mention. Kathryn Appleby won the girls' competition, and Melvin Wise won the boys' competition in Grade IX. Quis or Quae? January 21. GRADE XII PROGRAMME Grade XII was in charge of the programme and one of its members, Earle Rutherford, was the master of ceremonies. The first number was a 28 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 violin solo by Marilyn Appleby, ac- companied at the piano by Betty McCowan. A skit called '1 he Or- chard Scene from 'Romeo and Jul- iet ' or He tripped from his gar- bage wagon and fell for her was the next item on the programme. This skit was original in that it was rewritten, censored, and produced by two members of Grade XII, Eva Scott and Elaine Whitbread. Some choice acting was done by Chester Kitchen, as Juliet Kitchen - a gla- mour girl employed at Macey's De- 'partment Store, and by Helen Knill as Romeo Knill - a west-side gar- bage collector. Other members of the form appeared on the stage in the role of the east-side hockey team -an aggregation disliked so much by Romeo that -he hid under his gar- bage wagon when it made its ap- pearance. Bill Ronald's amusing advertisements interrupted the pre- 'sentation at various points. Quis or Quae? February ll. GRADE XI PROGRAMME Grade XI put on a unique Fashion Show Fashions in beach clothes, housecoats, college styles and even- ing wear remodelled very beautiful- ly by such charming models as only the boys and girls of Grade XI could be. During the modelling of a bright yellow skirt worn with a red and white striped sweater, Ruth Gei- ger and Nancy Harold sang a duet to the tune of You are my Sun- shine , an original composition en- titled, This is a skirt, dear a yellow skirt, dear. The finale was wonderful. As the strains of the wedding march be-- came audible, the curtains parted and a bride and groom appeared to model the most up-to-date wedding clothes. 'The beautiful 07 blushing bride iHerb Inksaterl wore a long white gown, Two or three lace cur- tains made a filmy veil which ex- tended into a long train. The bride's boquet was a potted plant.

Bill Turner spoke at great length of the wonders per- formed by the latest soap discovery Zippo Flippo , the makers of which presented the daytime serial Life with the McF1opps. Original script for this production was written by Jack Mogan and those taking part were: McFlopp, Pansy Rossg Mr. McFlopp, Howard Foote, the moth- er-in-law, Nancy Charmang Juliana Whatapuss, Margaret Morrison, the little girl next door, Bill Edgington.

Both the staff and the students are most gra- teful to the citizens of Paris and the surrounding districts for their con- tributions to this fund. We have been informed that Nancy Harold was the tagger to collect the most money. Her collection totalled over forty dollars. Altogether 3397.25 was collected. Quis or Quae? May 20 PRESENTATIONS At a special meeting of the Liter- ary Society on Friday afternoon the pupils of P. H. S. honoured two of our teachers who are retiring from the staff - Miss Flanagan and Mr. Bernhardt. Berore asking her to accept a beautiful writing desk, the gift of the pupils, Dorothy James expressed our regrets that IVIiss Flanagan is withdrawing from her position as our Science teacher. For eighteen years she has been a valued member of the staff, and we who are at P. H. S. now, as well as those who have been here in previous years, will always remember her many kindnesses to us and to them. Dorothy wished Miss Flanagan much happiness in her re- tirement. Miss Flanagan replied suitably, Earl Rutherford spoke very high- ly of Mr. Bernhardt?s work among us at P. H. S., and said that he would be missed, not only as a teacher, but also as a citizen of Paris Where he has taken a most active part in the work of the Boy Scouts and Air Ca- dets. On behalf of the pupils, Earle wished Mr. Bernhardt every success in his work at Smith's Falls, and presented him with a huge carton, most securely wrapped and tied, and with a pen and pencil set. The huge carton contained another box, and so on down to a small one, which held three golf balls. Mr. Bernhardt also replied suitably. Quis or Quae? June 24. During eight months of the past school-year, 524.00 was collected for the Navy League, 317.00 for the Red Cross and 5397.25 by means of a Tag- day for Chinese Relief. War Savings Stamps to the value of 5586.00 were bought. , 30 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 allltleficd BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Honorary President ....,...,....,,,.........,.......,....., Peter T.

Frank Smith BOYS' ACTIVITIES Basketball After a series of hard-fought games thle inter-mural basketball teams for the Apps' Trophy were re- duced to two teams-E1son's and Barron's. In the finals, Barron took the first game by one point but lost the final game by a wider margin to give Elson the much coveted Tro- .phy. Much greater enthusiasm is being .shown in these intermural games since the cessation for the duration of W.O.S.S.A. activities. Hockey The hockey series opened with the three usual teams clashing- Lower, Middle and Upper. Lower school was defeated first and then the bat- tle Was on between the old rivals, Middle and Upper. The first two games were shared, one going to each team. However, in the Iinal, Upper School showed their merit and easily defeated the weakening Middle School team. Exhibition Basketball The W.O.S.S.A. basketball has been discontinued for the duration owing to transportation difficulties. However, the boys were not to be discouraged and arranged exhibition games with Galt and Brantford. Paris defeated Brantford decisively in Brantford and Galt in Paris. The Galt boys turned the tables on Paris in Galt and managed to gain a win by one point. Softball A Softball schedule was again held in the spring owing to popular demand. A well-balanced schedule was drawn up and when th-e dust cleared for the finals, Cross and Bax- ter, our Drumbo lads, were the cap- tains of the two winning teams. In the two out of three final games, Cross defeated Baxter to win the Championship. Field Day Field Day, the big sports event of our year, was held on October 6, and was a great success. The Wea- ther-man was exceedingly kind- PARIS SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 31. hearted and granted us a fine day. All of the events were Well-filled with the competition being very keen in every event and class. This year the heats were run off in the morning so as to hold all the events in the af- ternoon and finish earlier. This plan - worked out very well. Novelty 'races again proved to be the fun-maker. The annual presentations and dance was held in the gym that. night and was a big success, as us- ual. The Field Day Champions were: Junior-Robert Grieve. Intermediate- Wallace Jones.

Our aim in planning the year's programme was to give EVERY girl an opportunity to participate in a wide Variety of activities. With this in mind, we introduced three new sports in the school-Badminton, Ping Pong and Archery. All the girls welcomed these sports with great enthusiasm and eagerly set about to learn their rules and regula- tions. We should like to express our thanks to the Board of Education who so willingly co-operated with our plans by providing a Ping Pong table and a backstop for Archery. Digging deep into our own treasury we pur- chased Badminton, Ping Pong, and Archery equipment. But, when we came to the question of a target, our finances were running low. However, we were not daunted, but construct- ed a very good target with our own lily-white hands, Another one of our aims was to give EVERY girl an opportunity to develop her capacities of leadership. One senior girl was put in charge of the organization and direction of each activity. Each organizer's duty was to draw up schedules, arrange for practices, referees, and scorekeepers, Key on Page 44 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 33 and to see that all players showed up for the games. We are happy to re- port that every girl has risen admir- ably to her responsibilities. Practice games in Badminton were played in the Fall term, giving each girl an opportunity to learn how to play this interesting game. Then, un- der the able supervision of Elaine Whitbread, schedules were arranged for the Spring term. The honours in Badminton were carried oE by Mary Geiger and Jewel Collie. Our new Ping Pong table is in the lunch room where it is in constant use at noon and after four. Under the capable direction of Dorothy James, a tournament was arranged in which Mary McKinnon proved to be the Junior Champion. But in the sudden-death game to determine the school champion, Mary Geiger out- scored Mary McKinnon. Archery, too, aroused ardent zeal in the Seniors, and the Juniors C0119- ted the months until they would be allowed to try their hand with the bow. The Fall term was devoted to learning the technique of aiming. Marilyn Appleby supervised the AI'- chery round in the Spring term and proclaimed Margaret Nesbitt our Wil- liam Tell. Although there was wide interest in the new sports, Basketball still held its own. A keenly-contested series of games was played during the winter term. To get the girls in trim for the games, practice schedul- es were held in the fall. After a hard-fought series of games, directed by Margaret Maus, Eva Scott's team emerged victorious to claim the cup presented annually by Mrs. Butcher. This year a school team was again organized and games were played with teams from the Brantford Col- legiate and the Brantford Y. W. C. A. Unfortunately our girls lost all the games. However, the experience and practice gained by the girls were ini- valuable. Keen competition existed among the teams in the Softball series played in the Spring under the organization! of Agnes Johnson. In the finals Mary O'Neail's team was victorious. Last February the staff decided tor straighten us out by arranging at Posture Week. In the gym we were' subjected to gruelling exercises to straighten our spines, chase away our widow's bumps, and smooth out our double chins. In the classroom We were under close scrutiny and were not allowed to so much as put our elbows on our desks. In the halls we were on our guard constantly so that we might not be caught leaning against the Wall or slumping as we walked. At the end of the week Grade XII was adjudged the straight- est and best-poised class. Donald Stickland and Elise Pike were award'- ed prizes for the most artistic post- ers. At the end of the year a committee meets to choose from each grade the girl who has shown the highest qua- lities of leadership and athletic abil- ity during the year. Last June the following girls were chosen: Grade IX- Kathryn Appleby: Grade X -- Jean Sutorg Grade XI - Dorothy James, Grades XII and XIII -Mary Geiger. Each of these girls was pre- sented with a silver medal at the Commencement Exercises. The committee revised the regula- tions by which students may obtain points toward the letter P to in- clude one point to be given to the 34 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 champions of Badminton, Ping Pong and Archery, one point to eagh mem- Emer of the winning Play Day team, and one point to each of the leading girlsL This, we feel, creates keener interest and competition. Play Day, the first event of the fall term, was a great success. Team leaders and officials worked with. endless patience and effort preparing for the event, and all the girls enter- ed enthusiastically into the spirit of the day. Again this year We stress- ed team work rather than individual competition by dividing all the girls of the school into teams. The team leaders were chosen from Grade XII. Acting' as officials of the various events were the girls of Grade XIII. The programme was sufficiently var- ied so that each girl might participate in the sports in which she is espec- ially interested. Some of our girls again showed their athletic ability at the Victory Loan Field Day on October 23, Un- der the direction of Elise Pike these girls practised faithfully for the ev- ent. Winner of the 75-yard dash was Mary Geiger and runner-up was Jean Thompson. Both girls received priz- es in War Savings Stamps presented by Syl Apps. The Baton Relay was Won by Elise Pike, Muriel McRey- Holds, Dorothy Griffiths and Mar- garet Morrison. This year we have responded to the requests of many girls. and start- ed an after-four dancing class where everybody can forget her se1f-con- sciousness and learn to dance, or to improve her dancing. Eva Scott and Elaine Whitbread have been the re- sponsibility of transferring our clum- sy stumblings into- graceful steps. This is not easy to do, but Eva and Elaine are accomplishing' the miracu- lous. Thanks girls! By the way, have you seen our new' bulletin bo-ard in the Girls' base- ment? Each day it' is filled to the frame with colorful displays and no- tices posted by the various organiz- ers- Further brightness is added to the basement and gym by the new red and white uniforms sporled byi the Grade IX and X girls. Unlucky XIII !' ! Miss Craig is de- termined to make leaders of every one of us. It is tough going but we- will survive and who knows but some day we may all be Members of' Par- liament- Our first effort in directing Grade IX games, marching, and dan- cing was nerve racking but we are fast developing much-needed selif- corrtidenceg Another bugbear of Grade XIII is the new Defence Training course. This is our line-up: Child Study, Me- teorology, Navigation and Theory of Flight- The girls in the rest Of' the school are struggling along with First Aid, Home Nursing, Nutrition, Healthful Living, Civilian Protection, Aircraft Recognition and Campcraft. We must not sign od without men- tioning another activity in which both girls and boys participated. Last Spring the girls canvassed the homes while the boys canvassed the factor- ies collecting money for the Chinese War Relief Fund. Altogether we were able to forward about S400' to the Fund headquarters.. So ends '43 ! ! -Now-we look for- ward to an equally busy and worth- while '44z , Lavinka Mihoff. PARIS HIGH 'SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 19473 ,35 122ml fafcid tsquaalzon During the fall of 1941 a move- ment was started to form Air Cade Squadrons throughout Canada. In March, 1942, a meeting was held un- der the direction of G. C. McCallum to form a squadron in Paris. Doug- las Boyd, Provincial Secretary, was the speaker. A Civil Committee was formed with G. C. McCallum as chairman to get the movement un- der way. All boys interested were contacted and eventually enrolled 'to form a squadron. The committee was fortunate in securing P. T. Bernhardt as Com- manding Officer, H. W. Richards as Adjutant and D. L. Brontmier as Equipment Officer. Courses were started in Drill, Administration and Signals under the able leadership of G. C. McCallum and J. W. Kellum. At a later date, as these subjects were comrle fd. new courses were stared. These were comprised of Aircraft Recognition, First Aid, Ma- thematics, Knot and Splices, Air- manship, Meteorology and Naviga- tion. On May 29, 1942 the squadron held its first Annual Inspection. Wing Commander R. H. Waterhouse, C. 0. No. 5 S.F.T.S. was the Inspecting Officer. The ensign was presented by Douglas Boyd. Shortly after. a bicycle draw was sponsored by the squadron in which a large sum was raised for the treasury. The first camp was held July 18- 25, 1942 at No. 16 S.F.T.S., Hagers- ville and was largely attended. During the fall of 1942 and the spring of 1943 the squadron particip- ated in both Victory Loan parades as well as many other parades. Early in April the squadron held its second bicycle draw which was also a success. On April 16, 1942 the squadron held its first Annual Mess Dinner which was a 'highlight .in its history. On May 15, 1943 at the Paris Ar- ena the squadron paraded before Wing Commander C. J. H. Homs, C. O. No. 5 S.F.T.S. for their second Annual Inspection. Squadrons from Woodstock and Brantford were in at- tzndance. During the period between July 17 and 29 the squadron attended camp at No. S.F:T.S. Centralia with squadrons from Toronto and had a glorious time. ' When the squadron returned the officers left for two weeks' training at Trenton. During this time the squadron was very sorry to lose Mr. Reinhardt who left to take up new duties in Smith's Falls. F. O. Rich- ards succeeded him as C. O. effic- iently filling the post. P. O. J. Eby and P. O. A. Edgington were added to the strength of the squadron. Shortly after their return from camp, Flight Sergeant Norm. Watts, Corporal Art Elson and A.C.1 Lloyd Herriman left to take up an active life in the R.C.A.F. Because of Air Cadet training, these cadets are well on the Way to the day of graduation. All air-minded boys should not hesitate in joining their local Air Cadet Squadron. Enlistment in the R.C.A.F. is not compulsory, but on reaching the required age, any Air Cadet who joins the R.C.A.F. is far ahead of the other fellow. The sub- jects taught in the Air Cadets will not only be useful in the services but in civilian life as well. If all Air Cadet Squadrons are as successful as the Paris Squadron, the R.C.A-.F. will have every right to feel proud of its fledglings, the Air Ca- dets of Canada.

S. are publishing another War Issue 'of the Paris High Sch-ool Year Book. This book is published to inform the parents and friends of the activities and achievements of the students, and to serve as a reminder to the students of the many enjoyable and profitable lfiours spent at P.

In closing, I would like to thank all those who have done so much in the preparation of this bookrMr. Smith, the OHice Staff, and the 'Editorial Committee, Mary Geiger, Agnes Johnson, Margaret Nesbitt and Kathryn .Sihbick.

This year, however. our solitude has been molested -greatly by a strange, we-ird mixture of 'noises' which seem to originate in Grade X. These 'noises' commence about 12:45 and usually reach a climax around 1 o'clock or soon after Mr. Smith's noon History Class has begun. They resemble the wailings of a wolf pack ready to swoop down for the kill and they resound through the halls with a sickening, blood-curdling echo that speaks of murder. The other day, I Ca quiet, country chap, unaccustomed to such hid- eous soundsj decided to investigate whence came these unearthly bellow- ings. I left IX-B and sneaked up very cautiously lest Mr. Tate might ap- pear and find me in the wrong end of the hall. As I bent down and crawl- ed unnoticed past the office door, my determination was spurred by the thought that perhaps it was my destiny to rescue a sufferer from some fierce mob. Perhaps the girls in Grade X had turned cannibal. seized a victim and, waving aside all rules and regulations of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board had made up their minds to have a meat dinneron Tues- day. Ah! I made it. I was at Grade X door. Luckily for me it was closed and by standing on my tiptoes, I was able to peek through the window, What a sight met my eyes! Those 'noises' were coming Cbelieve it or notl from a group in the north-west corner of the room. There were lit- tle girls, big girls, young girls, older girls. All of them were grouped around a piano and wene singing C?J at the top -of their voices. Did I say 'singing'? Well, some were singing and others were screaming and shout- ing but all seemed extremely happy. Just then 0DlE'0f the company came out of the room and I was able to secure some information from her about her fellow-singers. I We have a sing-song like this every day, she remarked. Isn't it grand? Gensa Burntull is a swell player, isn't she? Don't you wish you boys could have entertainment like this in the noon-hiour? Oh. I don't know, I added rather coolly. I guess we could make that much noise if we wanted to. Tell me, I continued, Do the same ones take part in this sing song every day? Well, yes and no, she answered. Anyone may come. We don't care whether she can sing or not. If she can't sing well enough to help in the more refined numbers. she can make herself heard when we do our top-notch specialty, Pistol Packin' Mamma. You see, in this number, the non-singers shout the words at the top of their voices in an attempt to drown out the ones who are singing. That must have been the piece you were doing as I came up the hall. You sure display lots of volume on that one, I remarked. Have you ever heard us do 'Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey? ' she continued. We do that one well, almost as well as we do 'Pistol , CConcluded at bottom of Page 725 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1943 - COMPLIMENTS OF WALKER PRESS LIMITED Printers Lithoprafihers Artists Photographers Engra v ers PARIS - ONTARIO MEGGS Cleanliness Phone 87 Quality Choicest of Meats.

Typical of such changes is the Grade IX-B Class of 1938-39. Five short years ago a group cf '42 boys inhabited the classroom which is still used by succeeding gen- erations. Here we sojiourned, as careless and thoughtless as first formers could be. But during the years that ihave intervened many changes have taken place until I find myself the sole survivor left in the school, of that whole class. My fellow members have been scattered far and wide in an almost unbelievable way. The main cause of this, of course, has been the war. Our war record has been magnificent. Twenty-seven have enlisted, while the others are carrying on in war industries and on the farm. Some fellows have seen action in Italy with the Eighth Army while others are in various stages of preparation. Five years ago one would scarcely have dreamed that in a short time, some members of this typical group of Can- adian boyhood would be in Italy, others in Africa and Great Britain, while the remainder would be scattered across the Dominion. We must also pause to remember two of our class-mates who have been removed by death. They are still fondly remembered. We have-,collected the 'latest information available as accurately as possible and tabulated it in order with the picture.

In practically no time at all the dance hall was occupied, or at least I might say, taken by storm by impatient school girls. Don't shove, just push was their motto as over-anxious girls scrambled about the floor in one wild clamour of preparation for the Grand March. But where were the men folk?-if the term 'mlen' may be fitting. CThere is only one answer, because one may expect only one when one feels in such mood as one should never wish oneself to be in.J If it must be told, they were seen standing at a safe range behind the gym door cast- ing wary eyes, ready at any moment to make a full retreat. In the midst of this 'somewhat' confusion, chords of the Grand March rang out loudly and clearly, filling the gymnasium to the most remote wall. In less than seconds approximately twenty innocent boys were 'hook- ed' as one might say colloquially actually 'hooked'. I can't dance , They won't get me , Here she comes. run for it, J oe , were a few of time fright- ened and fervent remarks heard by some of the very innocent onlookers. The fact that there is always a calm after the storm still holds true, for already the great mass of Cwell I wc-n't say ith, boys and girls, of course. began to move gracefully about in the Grand March. If you would like some reflection as to what took place for the following few minutes accept this suggestion. Imagine yourself lying next to the oool earth on a hot summer day, gazing half consciously at an ant mill into which you had stepped by mistake just a few minutes previously. But, back to the Tea Dance! Girls in one wild scramble were eager to get their clutches on some poor, unlucky and very innocent lad, as a wary cat does after a foolish mouse. Why it is even rumoured that Tar Weyoh has not yet fully recovered from the devastating assault that he received at the 'hands of the fairer sex. That's the last Paul Jones for me, he gasped as the cleared out shortly after. 'Then more romantic and sensuous music filled the dance hall for the remainder of the party. There was complete silence when our Fifth Form Romeo. Retchest' Tichenk, our Literary president, occupied the floor. The happy expressions of pent up hopes faded from many faces asfhe- Walked to the most remote ,end of the gymnasium to dance, as we 'concluded with his dream girl fcome truel. X Shortly our attention was attracted to the Thead of the dancehall where Lealer Dorfemth was seen doing his own version of an Indian War Dance with :his extremely pretty and vivacious dancing partner, Thorody Majes. How I wish I could do that , was the remark of our cute little Western- er. as he sat on the bench. with tears in his eyes. Alas! All too soon six o'c1ock rolled around and another all eventful P. H. S. Tea Dance came to an end Bert Cross.
