Paris High School - Arena Yearbook (Paris, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1910 volume:

FOREWORD IUS is the first annual ever gotten out by any class of the Paris High School. To the class of J919 was left the honor of publishing the first book of its kind and thereby to set a precedent. The class feel that they have taken a decided step in advance in endeavoring to put out an annual of the first class rank. The school has grown rapidly in the last few years and acquired a new build- ing during our stay. It has a modern equipment and a Faculty that make it the best school in the section; and for this reason we feel that it is not only able, but ought, vigorously to support our annual. X 8KS The staff have put into this volume the best of their ability and have endeavored in every way to make it an attractive and lasting memento of the class and the school of 1910. They have studied to portray every phase of school life in P. H. S. and to make this volume an accurate pi.ture of the school. We hope that this may l e the first of a long series of similar volumes. We hope that this, the first of its kind, may be an incentive to future classes and that j pleasing and profitable custom will lx? established. With this then in view, and without a polo y. for we have done our best, the Class of 1910 offer the firs “Ar :ia.” DEDICATION To our most loyal friend, to the supporter, who has given us the greatest incentive and most efficient aid. to our most capable principal. Miss Bertha Miller, the Class of 1910 affectionalv dedicate the first Arena.” Photo l y )� ■ MISS BERTHA MILLER. Principal.

A paragon in the study line, she is the especial delight of History IV A. Of a retiring disposition; we hope she will succeed in all things as Wftl as she has in pleasing Miss Miller. ROBERT SCOTT German Course Heavens! did you ever hear of a basketball game without ■•Scotty?” He is a nevcssary part of the basketball machine. He supplied lots of good rousing en- thusiasm and was a model score keeper for the whole season. Its a shame that the school loses such a jolly kid. ELLA GRAHAM Latin Course Did you ever hear of anyone falling down the back stairway? Well, just ask Ella. Her skill in this form of gymnastics is only excelled by her brilliant recitations in History. In fact, she is almost as great a favorite with Mi . Miller as with a certain small, dark-complexioned Junior. EARL PRICE German Course Price is a good Sergeant, too. He has never taken much interest in Athlet- ics except when he escorted one of our fair readers to the game or meet. But he is good natured and has a taking way with the fair sex so he gets along very well. Photo by Jay. MARIE WOOD German Course Photo by Jay. Would she? Well, I «hould say. She would study all the time if she could. She i a great favorite with all the class and although she studies, she i jolly and has time for fun. Though not famous for her brown study, she i a study in brown and has a difficult time making her eyes behave even behind glassctf. j WALDO SUDDUTH Latin Course Lo and behold! and then take another look. It i even the mighty Tub. He made a center on the football squad that was absolute proof against the buck- ing of rival teams. He starred in English class to the delight of his instructor; anil lived up to his motto: “Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you:” We hope he will never have to trouble trouble. BEULAH TUCKER German Course The pride of the Physics l.ab. and the delight of Prof. Wallace, who chival- rously escorted her home one dark night from prayer-meeting. Her oracular recitations in history arc a source of constant wonder. Here's a health and long life to her vocabulary in the wine of class spirit. FRED HOWARD English Course Prexy” is a good specimen of ’to. He defended P. II. S. for two seasons on the football held, and was captain, the first, and manager the second year. Yes, he really played football even though he did run a touch down backwards once, in a moment of confusion. ORION JONES Latin Course That big husky Senior with the broad smile, yes, that is the one. This i� his tirst year with our class but he has made good. He imitates the pole vault- ing of hi� big brother and is quite successful. You can't forget hint. RUTH BEALL German Course One day a 7ty. bashful maiden placed her name on the High School roll. She studied hard and as her learning grew, her size decreased until now she ean scarcely be distinguished from 'be Freshmen Yet small of stature she has shown herself to be a capable Secretary oi the Class of '10. She also won honors at basketball. Here's to � ur honored Secretary. STANLEY WALLAGE German Course Ao, that's not one of the Profs. He i a Senior. His accomplishments are varied and the range runs from a nap in class to a fierce, consistent game of basketball. He deserves and wears a Tiger. NORA WAIJE German Course How ctv.id Blacky resist the charm of those mischievous brown eyes She doe not believe in fre.ting over the strenuous life, but pursue. the necessary High School duties in an eaiy good-natured way. Her sudden exclamations in English are a source of amusement to the class, hut we bid her adieu. May her brow ne’er grow wrinkled with care. Latin Course m f Photo by Jay. ROY BANDY Who doesn't know that smile and the accompanying voice in high tenor? lie has been with us for some time and yet we feel that we hardly know him. Well, whatever he chooses, may luck be with him. ROSE BEALL German Course Here i' another qnict. calm, dignitied maid.jvhom we must bid adieu. She has been the very emblem of modesty and if we should try to recall the mischief she ha ' done in I . II. S.. we would quit right soon tor hc has been an ardent seeker after knowledge. Yet in her great desire for learning she did not forget her duty to her class and made herself famous by her fast and furious basketball playing. RAY HIPPLE English Course Have you ever heard him star in English? Well, he can reel off yards on any subject. He ever, plays baseball and holds down third in the right way. And by way of diversion, inclines to tie that speak for themselves. DEN A THOMPSON German Course One of the wonders of a wonderful elas . she graduates at the tender age of fifteen. She has a tendency to look before ‘he leap and then after inspection, merely turns away. How lucky i Vermillion to be the birthplace of such a pr.nligy. ROY HORNING German Course Yes. there he roc with that stride of his. He fairly rolls as he walks and he always ha with hint his unfailitiR and. more or less. Rood natured cynicism.

ELBERT HARGIS Latin Course He has only been with us a short time but we must confess he is a good fellow. Without half trying he nearly equaled our crack high jumper and pushed the other in the broad and then laughed in hi� hollow rumble and said he had never tried much. Yes, the class is glad he joined them. BEULAH McCLAIN German Course Who is this dainty creature which we sec floating down the aisle? Who is she? Why the same one who made all those brilliant recitations in Physics. And O. what a relief! when after some unanswerable question has been asked in English, her soft voice floats upon the air. As we listen, we gaze. We gaze and still the wonder grows. That one small head can carry all she knows. PARILEE KEENEN German Course Now let me introduce you to another of the girls. She gocj as if she were wound tjj as tightly as she does her hair. Her words flow with the automatic speed of a gattling gun and she can play basketball at the same gait. If you don't believe me ask l.oui , “The Shark. LOUIS BRINKERHOFF Latin Course Forsooth, have we a boy prodigy? Xo. only Louis, lie is ever a diligent and serious searcher after knowledge. Tall, and sticking out of hi clothes in sev- eral directions, his head is often in the clouds and, in fact, he is a typical shark. ETHEL DAVIS German Course The Senior floor walker whom we arc compelled to look up to, not be cause of the subservient awe which she inspires, but on account of the lofty posi- tion of her head among the clouds. She wears an ini|x rted brand of face cream for the special benefit of a deserving Freshman. CLARA RING English Course When singleness i bliss, 'tis folly to be sociable. Although she lus brother, she doc not seem inclined to be sociable toward the sterner half-of the cla‘s; a great favorite with Miss Wen ( ) and the star of the Chemistry l.abj She has been a favorite and will be greatly missed by the school in general. Photo by Jay. GERTRUDE REED Latin Course This girl is best known by her cheery smile. Most often bestowed on the boy 'ero the aisle. How sorry we are not to have had this cheerful, light-hearted lass to cheer us in all our trials through I’. II. S. Rut as it is we are glad to.have had hcr simnj presence for one short year. She is characterized by her puggy shaped nose, her admiration of the sterner sex and her honesty, for in the short time in which we have known her we have learned that she can be depended upon. ROSCOE LONG English Course V.'o-wo! Wouldn't that crystallite you? 'o for its ju«: “Shorty. H:� spontaneous eruptions of words are tather dazzling at times; however. But cheer up. he may be all “Wright” some day. HAZEL GORDON Latin Course Do you sec that lirm mouth and those snappy eyes?

MARY LODGE Latin Course It� hard not to oAr superlative� at times, but to know bet qu'ct good nature. and her genius for real fun. is a wholesome lesson for cynic . c arc fond of her and hate to see her go.

Manager of the Glee Club, leading character in dra- matic productions ami officer of the Cadet Company, he has displayed a few of his many talents. He will be greatly missed by P. II. S. and especially by certain fair one of the Junior and Freshmen classes for he i best characterized by hi� court- esy toward the fair sex and hi heart-breaking propensities. MY RLE RAHEL Latin Course Yes, I will be careful. Inn one can hardly refrain from superlatives. It’s only fair, however, to say that she is a star of first-water brilliancy that shines in several directions.

' N the gay and gladsome days of early September four long years ago. a mighty swarm of strange creatures appeared suddenly in the sacred realms of P. H. S. and took up the trials of learning. Beginning with the first day this vast multitude showed their superior quality by the total absence of those verdant blunders characteristic of other Freshman Classes. Yet they were ground down under the tyrannical hoof of the Sophs, exasperated by the patroizing air of the Juniors and scorned with a disdainful glance by the Seniors, until, by the end of the first year many m had lost their great desire for knowledge and had decided to make a place in • '.he world for themselves without an education. So when the breezes of another September stirred the leafy branches in the school yard, a happy class of Sophs, greatly decreased from their original size, took their places ijefore the awe-inspiring throne of Mr. Vance. Yet. despite the diminished numbers, great was the noise which arose upon the air when the motley crowd of Kreshies straggled up. Great, too was the enjoyment dorived at the expense of those poor “crawdads,” “fishing worms.” cats” and other members of the zoological family, whom the Sophomores pitilessly slaughtered in cold blood. In fact, “The quality of mercy was not strained. But the slaughter of dumb creatures was not the only achievement of this remarkable class. They arose in their might and proceeded to win great hon- ors on the athletic field. They even made the overbearing Juniors tremble for the welfare of their unsurpassed record. They formed a Basketball team and other organizations, which, though they did not win many laurels that year, gave promise of the futurp greatness of the Class of ’10. When the next school year began, this enthusiastic class entered, confident of doing justice to their name. But behold, seven new members had advanced from out the wilds of Edgar county and had decided to cast their lot with the Juniors of P. H. S. These did much toward uplifting the class and it was partly by their aid that the Juniors were able to accomplish these things which they had begun the previous year. In fact, their victories were greater than they had anticipated. In Athletics, they won many victories. Among their number was the champion runner who gained fame for himself and his class by winning the half-mile at Eastern Illinois. They furnished the Captain of the Basket- ball Team, the Foot Ball Team and many other worthy members of these worthy organizations. Nor must we forget the girls, who at this time were attacked by the basketball spirit and organized two teams, which played no outside games, but which, we are confident, would have done honor to their school if they had been given the chance. But greatest of all the events of this noteworthy year was the declaration that two Junior boys. had. by their superior skill in debate and oratory, proved them solves worthy des'iptes of Demos- thenes and Cicero, and had won over the too-confident Seniors, a victory that will long be remembered in the annab of the school. So. when this proud, victorious class left the school in June, they felt that their work for the year had been accom- plished. They had had their enjoyments and their victories and through all this had not neglected to startle their teachers by their superior intellect and had come out, as Seniors, with flying colors. Now, as Seniors the ranks have considerably thinned, but still thirty-six loyal members remain to perpetuate the fame of their class. They still succeed in winning Athletic honors, their victories this year, having been greater than ever before. They have displayed their loyalty to '10. for more than once have their colors flaunted on the topmost bough of the lofty trees about the school yard, or have waved triumphantly from the highest summit of the building. They are willing to admit that they have done wrong, for they are but human. They have sorely tried the hearts of their beloved instructors but have compensated for this by the pranks with which they have entertained the teachers in the assembly room. They have endeavored to set an example for their younger school-fellows and because of this, will be sorely missed. But though gone, they will not be forgotten and their names as a model class will be remembered and praised by succeeding ages. And now they stand knocking at the door of the future, seeking a path to success, whereby they may show their genius and their great, though hidden, talents. THE STUDENT O’er P. H. S. the sky is blue, The student loafs and lolls about. He’s nothin? in this world to do. And does it fairly well no doubt; For High School students aren’t inclined To honest work of any kind. The wine, class spirit, oft’ he drinks. And fancies it extremely good; And when thru it he cuts high jinks. Before a Faculty he’s stood; I think it must be rather hard To find excuses by the yard. Sometimes an athlete strong is he. And runs a couple of miles or so: While eager watchers yell with glee: 2:59: that’s not so slow;’’ And talk of golden medals fat And loving cups and things like that. The student leads a stirring life And always is a would-be-good And care free youth in eager strife By tutors grim are understood. Then, have your fling for pleasure’s sake. For overwork's a sad mistake. Ira Alie� . ’10. CLASS PROPHECY T was in the autumn of 1911 and Miss Howell, our revered and esteemed Latin teacher, personally con- ducted the ex-Seniors of Paris High School to the cave of the Sibyl. We were anxious to know what was in store for us in future years, so with palpitating hearts and shaking knees we proceeded on our way to the Sibyl’s cave. As we came into an open place ir. the woods, where the gloomy and desolate cave was visible, several of the more cowardly of the Seniors became frightened and with gasping sobs and tearful eyes entreated Miss Howell to permit them to return home to their mothers. Hut our chaperon was obdurate and sternly refused to excuse anyone. Finally after much toil and exertion. Miss Howell succeeded in driving us into the cave. Opening a heavy door, the leaves on the floor rustled and muttered and the bats whizzed about in the semi-darkness. The two Beall sisters became very nervous when they perceived the winged leaves; but their fright was nothing in comparison with the terror of Myrtle Rahcl when the Sybil’s black cat actually began to whistle. “A wonderful man was Caesar.” Then the wonder of wonders! Mysteriously before us stood the Sibyl. We could only stare at her with fascinated eyes while she boxed the cat's ears to make him stop whist- ling. Then she turned her awful glance upon us in a way that reminded us of the ever-seeing eyes of Mr. Jones. We shrank back in affright, but Miss Howell, who is equal to every occasion and is afraid of nothing, addressed the Sibyl with unfaltering voice and stated our reasons for coming to her abode. The Sibyl said nothing in reply, but began to mutter unintelligible words, while she filled a huge cauldron in the most remote corner of the cavern with spiders’ legs, toads, lizards and white mice. Fortunately, the contents of the cauldron were soon hoiling, so there need lx? no delay in learning what the future held for us. But alas! no one was willing to be the first one to hear his fate. In vain Miss Howell urged and entreated us to make haste. At last, after successive punches administered by the hand of our brave president. Walter Bond, Beryl Black succeeded in tottering toward the cauldron The Sibyl immediately burst forth in a prophetic strain. You will win success as a professional ball-player. Your path through the foot-ball field of life will not be with- out bumps and tumbles and you will l� e forced to hobble on crutches most of the time, but otherwise, your career will be free from care. Then Beryl, with a sigh of relief, departed to break the news to his fond parents. After Beryl had vanished from the scene. Elbert Hargis raised his courage to the sticking point and hopped up to the Sibyl, who informed him that he would instruct the next generation in the art of dancing. Elbert received her words with a look of mild surprise in his heavenly blue eyes. Unlike Elbert. Ira Allen, who always had an exalted opinion of his abilities, was not in the least surprised when the Sibyl said to him. You will gain fame and renown as an architect. You will adorn the White House with artistic lightning-rods and Independence Hall will be remodeled by you in a way that would cause William Penn to turn in his grave if he could look down from Heaven and see what was being done on this terrestrial ball. You will also ‘Winn’ fame as a ‘Fisher man.” After Ira had come back to be congratulated. Rose and Ruth Beall, each clinging fast to the protecting hand of Beulah McClain, tremulously crept up to the Sybil, who de- lighted them with the words, “I see before you success as teachers. The school which you will establish will have the highest standing of any American school for young ladies.” The Bealls, as much pleased as Punch, scurried away and the Sibyl, seeing the fair McClain still standing there with an expectant smile on her cherubic countenance, disclosed her future. Miss McClain learned that she would lx? Miss Boyd’s assistant at the library and that eventually she would rise to the position of State Librarian. Then Helen Baber, our leading lady and the star of the Senior class, fearlessly approached the grim prophetess, whose eyes lighted up with interest and approval when she beheld that calm intellectual brow. Then with animation she disclosed the bright future of the listening damsel. “Dear lady, as I look into the future. I am amazed at the talents which will win fame and glory for you. Not only will you de- light the world with classical literature produced by your pen. but as an actress you will gain a world-wide reputation. After hearing this happy prophecy, Silas Moffett thought that some of his lofty ambitions might be realized some day. so he dragged his chum. Roy Bandy, lx?fore the cauldron and listened with a sheepish grin when the Sibyl informed them that they would acquire an enormous fortuns as matrimonial agents. 'I hen Martha Ewing and Helen Green resolved to hear the worst and were somewhat reassured to learn that they would become country school-teachers and give box-suppers every Friday night. Seeing that Martha was a little dissatis- fied. the Sybil looked further into the future and said compas- sionately, Poor child. I per.ei e signs of insanity in your hilarious behavior. Kankaxee must inevitably receive you as a boarder.” Martha began to weep copiously but was somewhat comforted when Hazel Gordon promised to visit her often and to send carnations to cheer her lonely days. Then Hazel saw the wasted hand of the Sibyl beckoning her. so she advanced with a courageous tread. The Prophetess leaned forward and said, in a confidential tone. My dear, his initials are ‘W. B.’ and you will rule him with a rod of iron.” Then Ella Graham who was extremely anxious to know the initials of her affinity, resolved to try her luck. But she was destined to be disappointed for the Sibyl announced in a sepulchral voice that Miss Graham would preside as matron of the Orphans' Home. The stricken maiden tried to look “Sic est vita. Parilee’s fate was not quite so gloomy. She was told that she would raise chickens on the BrinkerhotT farm. Louis, pleased by this prophecy, then approached the Sybil and learned that he would marry and eat fried chicken ever after. Nora Ware learned to her surprise that she would fill the position of cashier at Fisher's five and ten cent store. When Faye Scott with tottering gait and eyes wide with fright took her stand before the Sibyl, we listened in hushed silence, for we believed that some day Faye would have her name written in the hall of fame. Therefore , it was with Jittle surprise that we heard these words. You will be a traveller of note and an expert mountain-climer. Your books of travel will excel the Chronicles of Gulliver, himself. After Faye had joined us and we had cautioned her against vanity. Dena approached the Sibyl and was told that she would instruct the Vermillion children in 'readin,' writin,’ and 'rithmetic' taught to the tune of a hickory-stick. Then Orion Jones with his bland smile of confidence prepared to hear the best. “Now. don’t give me taffy,” he said vith a wink to the Sibyl. The Sibyl frowned and began her prophecy with a solemn voice, Yours will be no easy life, young man. You will be known as a “quack-doctor” and you will lx reduced to tacking a sign on your office-door with the inscription. 'The smallest fevers will be thankfully received’. It is needless to say that Orion had last his joyous smile by this time and was now a sadder and wiser boy. Although Orion’s fate was sad. Gertrude Reed, who was waiting her turn, hoped for better things. Nor was she disappointed. The Sibyl told her that she would become a chorus-girl, but when the ‘Price grew too dear, she would give up her profession and bestow her heart and hand upon an American ‘Earl’. Clara Ring did not seem to be especially everjoyed to learn that she would be a teacher in the winter and a milliner during the summer months, although the Sibyl prophesied that her shop would be patronized by all the Aristocracy of Edgar county. Then Fred Howard and Ray Hippie, two members of the class who were destined to become famous, sauntered past us with tilted noses and heads held high. Fred had oeen informed by the Sibyl that he would Ik the proprietor of the country store at Edgar, so he was trying to appear high and mighty. But Ray had more reason to be conceited, for the Sibyl had just proclaimed that he would discover some new laws of magnetism and a new unit of magnetic force, named “Hipplestat” in honor of him. Then Rocsoe Long and Earl Price, the society-leaders of the class, decided it was growing late, so they strolled up to the Sibyl who prophesied that they would own a dance-hall in partnership and when Elbert, the dancing-master did not pay his rent, they would try their luck on the huckster-wagon. Next came Ethel Davis and Carl McKinney, the latter walking on stilts. They learned to their mutual joy that they would shine in the field of journalism. Ethel, being the most serious-minded of the two, would occupy the editor’s chair and Carl would act as errand boy from which position he would rise to that of Cartoonist for the Chicago Record Herald. Marie Wood learned that she would teach German in Grandview High School and Mary Lodge, who had vain hopes of being a Latin teacher, was disappointed when the Sibyl said she would stay home, wash the family dishes, hem the family tea-towels, and trim the family hats. Jean Brown showed that she was highly pleased when the Sibyl said wearily (for she was nearly exausted), “You will marry and live happily ever after.” But Myrle Rahel had the crowning triumph when the Sibyl said with a far-away look in her melancholy eyes, You will study music in Berlin and the world will recognize you as a second Patti. Your voice will charm multitudes and your fame shall never die.” Stanley Wallage had his hopes strengthened when the Sibyl assured him that he would be a senator and that he would have the floor most of the time. Walter Bond, our sanctified president, tried to be joyful when the Sibyl .--aid witii an approving giance at hjs earnest countenance. “The ministry will receive you with open arms.” Roy Hording and Robert Scott were delighted to know that tney would be neighbors in the sunny Southland. Robert as a real estate agent would sell countless acres of the Miss- issippi River to the verdant Northerners and the illustrious Horning would lx? engaged in the noble art of protecting his water-melons from the ravages of the darkies. Last, but not least. Waldo Sudduth took his stand before the Sibyl and was relieved to hear that he would sink to the position of “living skeleton at Barnum and Bailey’s. And now as twilight gathered, we departed with differ- ent sensations of triumph, discouragement, disgust, hope and despair. Those, to whom the Sibyl had told a happy future, were exulting over their less fortunate companions and openly expressed their sincere belief in the Sibyl’s words, while those unhappy creatures, whose ambitions would never lx realized were vowing to overcome fate.

How wonderful in intellect! How strong in opposition! In plan and action, how cunning and successful! To the High School, how great an honor! The admiration (?) of the Faculty! The glory of this institution of learning! The model of classes! When the Class of ’ll crossed the threshold of the P. H. S., there was a sound of distant thunder; the lightning played wild in the heavens, the .stars danced for joy. the comets swept around the perihelion and switched their tails and sped on into infinite space, proclaiming the glad tidings, that a new light had now begun to shine upon the earth—that ’ll, the great, grand and glorious 11, the lover of justice and excellence, the champion of liberty, had been duly in stalled and was now ruling with undisputed authority. Seldom is it the privilege of a class historian to record for his class such a long and brilliant list of triumphs as may lie placed to the credit of ’ll. It matters not. whether it is in the class room, on the athletic field, or in a rush against an opposing class, ’ll is always victorious and her every effort is crowned with success. When in September. 1907. we entered upon our “Dark Days,” the fact that a class of more than the ordinary ability and quality had made its debut, was very evident and for a few days our time was completely taken up by admiring Seniors, who fed us taffy with a very noticeable label. A member of the Class of 1910, looking down upon us from the dizzy heights of Sophomorism. remarked in one of those sane moments which occur so frequently to the members of ’10. There have been classes, there are classes, there will be classes, but there are no classes, never have been any nor ever will be any that will equal the Class of 1911, of the Prris High School.” Through the grind and grill of three long years of School High, the members of ’ll have toiled faithfully in the class rooms, have sung sweetly and cheerfully in the music room and drilled well and honorably uj on the campus, have ran swiftly and victorious upon the track, have hit the line hard upon the football field, have smote the pill mightily upon the diamond, and have played scientifically and champion- ideally upon the basketball floor. Yea. verily, the Basketlmll team of the imortal class of ’ll has yet to meet its Waterloo. It has met the foes, both foreign and domestic, and always after the smoke of battle had cleared away and the wounded were disposed of. was found to have triumphed. And in the social circles, we have always been promi- nent. Perhaps of all the successful functions given by our illustrious class, the Junior reception given to the out-going class of 1910 (whose intentions were always good but whose realizations were most imperfect) was the most brilliant and noteworthy of all the receptions given by any Junior Class at any time. A word in conclusion. Has 11 fullfilied her mission? Has she been faithful to the performance of her duty? A glance at the past will answer. Who can look upon the matchless beauty of her past history with an eye that is not enraptured? Who can behold the Class of 1911, radiant amid the glories of her many vi tories, more numerous than the objects painted upon the shield of Achilles; who can gaze upon the stars of her crown, before the brightness of which� the star on the brow of the night grows pale, and the dia- monds of Brazil are dimmed; who can behold all the unspeak- able magnificence and not appreciate her brilliancy and success? For brilliant and successful has been our career thus far. and brilliant and successful shall it be to the end.

The usual bright pupils had recited and the routine had settled into a succession of monosyllabic replies which the teacher extracted from the pupils as a dentist pulls teeth—with effort on one side and pain on the other. Now and then the teacher, for she was just from college, and very wise, soared skyward on some theory, leav- ing the class on the ground gaping after her, or watching the dogs play on the school ground. The radiators sputtered cheerfully and the drone of recitation was soothing and rest inspiring. Hunched on a chair in the back row. absorbed in a football annual. Jim sat. tearing holes in the enemy's line. Like all mediums, his gaze penetrated space until it reached a spot—the football field. Casting his practiced eye over the field, he noted the X yard lines gleaming in white, the masses of people and color, and then he was dressing in the room under the grandstand. Here in the air thick with the smell of sweat and dope” he drew on his battered armor and walked onto the field. The signal practice, toss up. and kick off passed like a dream. He was in the thick of the scrimmage, in two places at once, blocking, tackling, or rushing short bucks against the weak guard of Charleston. His twisting run, corkscrewing through half the team, brought the crowd to it’s feet, and made the side blossom into a mass of orange and black. During the second half, despite his sui erhuman efforts, his team was pressed back relentlessly. Shouting himself hoarse, he tried in vain to rally his exhausted men. His efforts were unavailing. Slowly but surely, the big “full of Charleston hammered holes in the worn out line. With three minutes to play, and the ball on their fifteen yard line. Charleston tried an end run; the ball somehow 01 other rolled out of the scrimmage and. diving on it. Jim started for the opposite goal. Dodging, twisting, he gained the o| en with only the quarter back to intercept him he ran as for his life. Nearer and nearer Jim sped, the little squatty quarter waiting like a bull- dog. for the attack. Suddenly it was all over. Shifting the ball to his left arm. he met the quarter with a straight jolt from the shoulder. The quarter's fingers gripped his trousers, missing his hips, but a savage jerk set him free. Then fifteen yards brought him between the goal posts. The crowd went wild. Rushing over the field they caught him on their shoulders and with Rah! Rah! West” ringing in his ears— James.” “Yes. Ma’am.” “Describe the battle of Marathon.” “Well-um-their iine-up was pretty heavy, but they were slow and the forward pass had them guessing—” Just then the bell rang. —Elmore Alien.

A MIXED-UP AFFAIR ARJORIE WESTON was walking slowly along the narow flowery lane which led to the Weston home. It was early morning. The birds were twittering noisily in the trees nearby, and she also, was singing happily. Suddenly she was startled by a deep voice behind her. crying, Why, Miss Weston! I’ow do you do! Marjorie turned and s w a tall, handsome young man advancing. His face was smiling and eager, and his hand out- stretched. In a flash. Marjorie decided that before her was the original of a picture which her twin sister. Edith pos- sessed. Edith had told her all about him; his name was Jack Brown, and Marjorie resolved to pretend that she was Edith. The two girls looked exactly alike anyhow, so she put out her hand, laughed delightedly, and exclaimed, “Why, Jack! How do you hapj en to be here?” M Well, I am out on an automobile trip. Yesterday I was going through this little village, when suddenly I—that is. the automobile—stopped. So f stayed at the little hotel last night. But, do you live around here? I thought you lived in the city.” He stopped for breath and looked at her questioningly. “We live in the city in the winter and up there, on the hill, in the summer.” She pointed to the pretty little cottage nestled among the trees and flowers. What a pretty place! he exclaimed, admiringly. “I am beginning to think it was a blessing my machine broke down. And—I do not think it can be repaired for a while.” he finished, joyously. Well, we will try and see that you do not become bored— “No danger! he interrupted, warmly. “Come over to ihe little arbor and tell me what you have l een doing all this lime. and led the way to a coxy flower-and-vine- overed nest. They sat down and Marjorie tried to think of something Edith had told her. “Oh. please tell me of your trip abroad. she begged eagerly. “My wha-at ? he gasped. “Your trip abroad! she repeated. Then she wondered if she had made a mistake, for. judging from the expres- sion upon his face she had. “My trip abroad! he echoed lamely. “Why Edith —say—are—a re—you— “Yes, I am sane all right she replied with an embar- rassed little laugh. Oh. i was only joking. But I don't see the joke. “Well, that is be:au$e you aren't looking for it. I believe I can guess what you ar.‘ thinking about. she went on hurriedly. You ?r? wondering if you are in a jungle. She paused a second. “Did I guess correctly? “You are a good guesser. he assented lazily. “Oh. Jack! How is your sister Kitty? Are she and Jimmie still in Chicago? she asked suddenly.' The sime loo't of bewilderment passed over his face as when she had asked about his trio abroad. Sister! Kitty! Jimmie! Chicago! he repeated, sitting up. “Why. Jack, dun t you ' now you had a sister and brother, and that cn the map is a city called— “I have no sister ncr brother. Edith Weston! You knew it too! What is the matter with you anyway?” He stared at her helplessly. “What is the matter with you. you had better say. Talk about not being sane, how about yourself!” she answered angrily. “Why 1-1 -think I am all right.” he said, carefully, and grasping his head in both hands, he looked at her foolishly. “I don’t think you are!” she retorted. A silence. It’s your fault! he returned finally, putting his hands in his pockets and gazing at her reproachfully. “It is not! she returned, looking at him steadily. Suddenly she said. You don’t look a bit like your picture, for in that you were smiling, and now you are frowning like a-like— she hesitated, and again there was a loon of wonder and am.izemcnt in his face as he demanded sternly. When pray, did you ever see one of my pictures? I never had my pictures taken but once, and then I was fighting with my feet and fists and squalling—the only way I could monstrate! “Why, Jack Brown, we have only one of your pictures and—” began Marjorie furiously. “Frown! Great Scott! he gasped. Just at this critical moment a song was heard. It seemed the same voice he had heard once before that morning ard. as a young girl came into view, he turned slowly to his companion. There he saw the same girl. He gasped as he looked from one to the other. Why. Jack Morrison! cried a surprised voice. Morrison!” echoed Marjorie weakly. Oh, Edith! Edith looked at the two in amazement. Jack and Marjorie were both staring, first at each other, then at her. Why-why-what’s the matter?” stammered Edith wonderingly. Please, is this Edith Weston?” Jack finally asked, approaching her. Why-yes, but—” Oh, Edith!” Marjorie was laughing wildly now. I thought he was -Jack B-Brown, and he-he thought-I was you, and-so-I just-pretended I-was!” she stuttered. Then turning to Jack, she added “I’m Edith’s twin sister!” Edith and Jack stared and then burst into laughter. As tfiey walked on toward the cottage Jack mentally resolved that his automobile should be repaired that very day. but that as he had no important business to hurry him on. he would delay in the village awhile. —E.

The present members have not all been in the class during the nine years of its existence; some dropped out after the first five or six years, and others stopped after completing the grades, there- by missing the best part of their school life. Our class has always been active in all affairs, whether it be in the search of knowledge or for something with which to annoy the teacher. Several of the members during their journey through the grades have felt the sting of the paddle as some teacher tried to urge them along the flowery path of knowledge. Last year the boys of our class organized a basketball team. They purchased a basket- ball and started in to become the champions of Paris, but some of the other boys who were not on the team mistook the ball for a foot ball and the consequences were that in a short time there was not much of it left. Our entrance into High School last fall was the cause of much merriment on the part of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniore. Being, of course, a little green we did not know what to do. or where to go. Every time we turned around it seemed as if we were confronted by a dignified teacher ready to reprimand us should we do anything out of the ordin- ary. Gradually we became bolder and it was nothing to see a Freshman standing at the desk at any period of the day receiv- ing a lecture on behavior by the teacher in charge. There are about fifty-five members in the class at pre- sent and out of these we have reason to believe, there should develop some “stars” whether it be in knowledge or in athletics. We were represented on the football team this year, and we have organized a basket-ball team, which, though it has not won any honors, has been the source of much enjoy- ment to the meml ere. The Class of Nineteen Thirteen is looking to the future with expectation and we hope to bring honore upon ourselves that will be remembered after we have passed out of the doors of Paris High School into the world. —W. R. .’13 ‘THE FRESHIE” Written by one of them. Huh! Maybe I don't know all 'at is. And maybe I’m awful green, Maybe I ain’t a Sophomore; I ain't naughty as some I’ve seen. Maybe I do need a little brane, In the northwest part of my hed. But if I wuz as bad as them Juniors. I no I’d wish I was ded. Mabbe the Seniors are biger. And gee! how smart they be. But if I wus as luv sik as they are. I’d drown my trials in the sea. It don’t mak a difference nohow.

(Fool Ball) (Track) (Basketball and Base Ball) (Captain oi Cadets) CAPTAINS OF THE TEAMS ATHLETICS OT since the days of 1903 has athletics in Paris High School l een so interesting and prominent a feature of High School life as in the season of 1909-10. In most of the organized departments. Foot-Ball. Bas- ketball. Baseball and games of the Track and Field. Paris High School has played a winning team. While our athletics is disadvantaged in not having an athletic field convenient to the school building for practicing purposes, still the athletic spirit of the school has been sufficient to develop teams which afford favorable comparisons with the best High School teams in Eastern Illinois. Our athletic standing is no doubt largely due to the high standard of qualifications imposed by the Faculty of the institution. Not only do the ordinary rules of eligibility, imposed by most schools, prevail, but in addition to these no one is allowed to participate in any of the organized depart- ments who is given to the use of alcoholic or tobacco in any form. This is a condition not required in most schools, but P.;ris High School stands first, last and all the time for clean athletics, for fair play and a square deal; and hence imposes those conditions compatible to the development of a clean and enduring team. TRACK TEAM Owing to a downpour of rain, the Athletic Meet held at Charleston. May 8. 1909. was a dismal failure, and a sad dis- appointment to many towns who had don? consistent training and had been religiously faithful to their athletic vows. So Paris, in order that the many towns might be given an oppor- tunity of either showing or establishing their athletic prowess, issued invitations to all High Schools, within a radius of sixty miles, located upon the north, south, east and west lines of the Big l our intersecting at Paris, to attend a meet known as The Big Four High School Athletic Meet.” at Paris, Satur- day. May 29. 1909. With one or two exceptions, the schools invited were highly enthusiastic over this proposed meet and all sent teams, excepting Danville, Charleston and Mattoon. the Mattoon acceptance and entries arriving too late for the official schedule. There were forty-one contestants in all. and all were in the pink of condition. The following High Schools sent teams: Shclbyville. Robinson, Wiley (Terre Haute), Palmer Academy, Marshall and Paris. Prof. Kimmel. Phvsieal Di- rector of Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute, refere- ed this meet, and when the last point was made expressed his approval by saying it was the most successful it had ever been his privilege to officiate. Under perfect conditions this meet was held at the Fair Grounds and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd. In the dashes. O’Hair of Paris, and H. Springer of Robinson were pretty evenly matched, while Frazier of Paris, was the candy boy with the weights, his shot put of 40 feet. 1 inch being a new record for the High School. Roland Brooks of Paris ran the half mile in beautiful style, this being one of the prettiest contests of the day. Both Honnold and Hargis distinguished themselves in the jumps. We have these three with us still and just keep your eyes on them. « In the mile Relay. Paris won first honors and Robinson, second. In the Oratorical Contest at night. Robinson won first and Sholem of Paris, second. In the Dramatic. Miss Mae Ghormley of Paris, won first and Shelbyville second. Gold and Silver medals were given for first and second places; an orange and black pennant to the winner of the Relay. To the team winning the greatest number of points a beautiful silver loving cup was given. This is one of the handsome trophies now adorning our High School assembly room. Below is a program of events: 220 yard hurdles:—O’Hair. Paris. 1st: Kelly, Terre Haute. 2nd. Time. 30 seconds. 50 yard dash:—O’Hair. Paris. 1st; Frazier. Paris, 2nd.

WING to the inconveniences afforded by the long dis- tance of Mehvood Park from the school grounds and the absence of a regular coach, the Paris High School Foot Ball Team did not round into shape speedily.

BA KE HE Basketball Team of Paris High School of 1909-10 1 was one of the fastest and best in the history of the institution. Under the leadership of Captain Black, the team soon rounded into shape and was winning in wonderful style from the start. The boys played a clean, fast and aggressive game during the season. There is no phase of Athletics, here, in which a greater inter- est is taken than in Basketball. The fastest (and roughest) teams of Western Indiana and Eastern Illinois were played, and in the fifteen High School games played, but five were defeats. The present indications are that a team as fast or even faster will be developed for next year. Following is the schedule of High School games: At Paris: U. of I., 20; Paris. 45.

ASSEMBLY ROOM OI- PARIS HIGH SCHOOL Photo by Jny. N the year 1842. the old Methodist Seminary was founded by public subscription by the people of Paris upon the «rounds where the old High School building stands to-day. The ground was donated for school purposes by Col. Jonathan Mayo, one of the wealth- iest land owners in this vicinity. Owing to lack of time and information, we are unable to give a record of the development of this school, as none has been kept and few are living to-day who have any definite knowledge concerning it. Eventually, as the result of a growing demand, the old Seminary was turned into a Public High School, laying the foundation for the spiendid institu- tion we have to-day. Allison Smith was the first Principal. As the school grew, the old Seminary building proved inadequate and at last, in 1881, Paris really boasted of a fine new High School building, a three story structure, which the people thought would undoubtedly lie sufficiently large for fifty years to come. But wonder of wonders! twenty-eight years had elapsed when every corner of space in this won- derfully large building was filled to overflowing. Oh. the agony suffered, by the unfortunates who were last into recitation in the little stair-closet. Room 18, and had to sit on the steps! and the poor Freshmen who were isolated from the joys of the assembly room and were forced to take refuge in Rooms 11 and 12, and sit at tables with no place to store their treasures! So at last the people took pity on us and gave us the magnificent edifice which we now occupy; and oh.the suspense of waiting those last few months for moving day” and what rejoicing there was when the time at last rolled round and it was announced that the dedication would take place on the following Monday and we would move the next day. The old building echoed and re-echoed with lusty cheers and even the teachers wore the original “Sunny Jim smile. On Monday afternoon. February 8th. 1909. the dedi- cation exercises were held in our splendid new assembly hall. The principal addresses were delivered by Francis J. Blair. State Superintendent of Schools, and Prof. H. A. Hollister of the University of Illinois. Our High School Glee Club, Semi- chorus. and Mixed Chorus supplied the music. Next day. Tuesday. February 9. we actually moved!” Oh, the wonder of it all! for the rest of the week our usually studious conduct was sadly lacking. We couldn’t keep our eyes off the shiny new “furniture and fixin’s” and the new surprise piano which the Board of Education had so gener- ously given us. Some of the more inquisitive members could not resist opening and closing the new raise-top desks just to see how they worked.” But gradually we became acustomed to our new sur- roundings and settled down to the regular routine once more —often, oh. so often, heaving a sigh of relief to know that at last we had room to turn around without crowding our neigh- bors and had plenty of room to breathe! May those to come derive as much pleasure and happi- ness from it as we have—r-three cheers for P. H. S! □ □ □ CADET COMPANY Photo by Jay. P. H. S. CADETS HE organization known as the Paris High School Cadets was first organized in the autumn of 18%. through the influence of Superintendent J. D. Shoop. The first company consisted of about sixteen men. all privates. Mr. George Crowell was secured as drill master and he proved himself very competent in this capacity. By 1898 the (ompany had progresed far enough in military science to choose officers from its own ranks. Ten Broeck Jones was elected the first Captain of the High School Cadets with Emmett Cretors and Charles Jury as his lieutenants. The non-commissioned officers were then appointed by the three commissioned officers and the company was completely organized and drilled by the officers. This first fully-organ- ized company consisted of twenty-eight men including pri- vates and officers. Regulation grav-cadet suits were secured and the company was equipped with the short U. S. cavalry rifles. In the companies of 1900, '01. '02 new officers were elected and the usual routine of drill was carried out and three- well drilled companies left P. H. S. with honors. In '02 and '03 old P. H. S. seems to have been peaceably inclined and no cadet company was organized during these two years. However, the war-like spirit had not died out by any means and again in the fall of '01 the old veterans were called together and they chose Carl Piper from their number to lead them in future battles, with Cleveland llayton and Fred Moffitt next in command, and again old P. H. S. was resounding with the clang of arms. The company of '00 finished with the usual laurels and in the la-ginning of the next year of school Captain Ben Logan with Lieutenants McDivitt and Brooks took charge of a rather small but enterprising company which proved their mettle before the year was past. They began the year by petitioning the school-board for new and more up-to-date equipments and soon secured new U. S. Springfield rifles. They now began working in real earnest; and by the spring of '07 Captain Logan had his men so well drilled I hat they entered a Cadet Tournament at Decatur and by s-iperior drill- ing captured a large, handsome, mpper loving-cup. to the dis- may of Springfield. Tavlorville and other cadet companies which took part. The company of '08 was given no chance to show its merits under Captain Stephens and Lieutenants Woodbridge and Shellenberger. We are sure that it could have more than held its own with most any company. The company of '09 under Captain Tucker and Lieutenants Pond and Tate has the honor of being the largest company the P. H. S. has turned out. They were fully equipped with regulation U. S. cadet suits and the latest model U. S. Springfield rifles, which cadet companies are permitted to use. They have a well equipped arsenal in the basement of the new High School building and are in every respect an up-to-date and well drilled company. The officers of the company of ’09-’10 are as follows: Captain: Walter Bond Lieutenants: Roscoe Lon , Pon Hamilton.

Among the other accomplishments which will no doubt keep its memory green, the clas play stands out pre-eminent. The subject of the play was: “The Sweet Girl Grad- uate. The cast consisted of eleven members of the class. The title role was taken by Miss May Ghormley who. of course, was admirably suited for it. Her family—I use the term advisedly since at the time portrayed in the play, she was the most important member of the family—consisted of her father. President of the R. 1. P. Railroad, this part being taken by Grady O’Hair; her mother. Miss Woodson Shew, who was continually threatened with an attack, and her old maid aunt, Miss Cecile Faublc. who had decided opinions upon all questions, especially those of higher education. I must not forget another important member of the household, the demure little maid. Miss Cressie Strimple. m The first scene opens upon the sweet gri's m; ther and her dressmaker, Madame Sateene, otherwise known as Miss Mable Wells. They are in despair because the i nportant dress is unfinished and the trimming is all used. A fa nily con- ference only serves to complicate matters, even though aided by the sweet girl's best friend. Miss Maude Stanfield, and also by her fiance. Jack. (Alonza Reynolds.) Her father declares she shall have the finest dress in the class if it breaks the U. I. P. R. K. and the question is left to Madame Sateene. The second scene portrays the sweet girl's straggle to learn her essay for commencement. She is aided by her elocution teacher, Miss Beulah Logan, and hindered by the remainder of the family and by one of the High School Pro- fessors. Harold I). Snilf. The old maid aunt, as usual, gives her opinion of her niece’s ability and of higher education. She finally breaks up the scene by storming off the stage, followed in quick succession by the other feminine members of the family. leaving the three men —the R. R. President, Jack, and the H. S. Prof.—gazing at each other in helpless dismay. In the third scene, the house is in even worse confusion than before for the eventful time has arrived when the sweet girl is actually to graduate. The door bell is ringing, presents are arriving, and the bashful florist, James McLaughlin, known in the play as Mr. Bulbus, is busily engaged in decor- ating the room. The sweet girl then appears on the stage and excites the jealousy of Jack by wearing someone else’s flowers in her hair. To quiet him she thanks Mr. Bulbus for them, very much to his surprise and all depart for the gradu- ation exercises, leaving the florist standing with wide open mouth, gazing after them. The last scene is three years later. Jack and the sweet girl have been married for some time. This is plainly shown by the way he reads the paper at the breakfast table. Letters arrive, telling of the marriage of Mrs. Jack’s best freind. She confesses that Mr. Bulbus did not give her the lilies but that her best friend has married that former admirer, who sent them. The scene ends with a reconciliation between husband and wife. The success of the play was. in a large measure, due to the able and efficient training of Miss Carolyn Wenz and Miss Hazel Easton. After the play the entire class was rushed upon the stage for the class song, which made a fitting climax to the play. Eugene Williamson was its author and he fittingly por- trayed the spirit and characteristics of the class, as illustrated by the following couplet: “We’ve won all the honors in P. H. S. And found them too E—Z.’’ Photo by Jay. MISS FLORENCE ENSLE. Musical Director. Photo by Jay. MISS NELLE WINN. Pianitt.

She led the music in the assembly room of the High School, conducted a Glee Club and Semi Chorus, a large Mixed Chorus, and she also had the music of the grades in charge. Miss Ensle won the hearts of all who knew her. because of her kindly disposition, her charming manner, and her unselfish devotion to her work, for which she thought no sacrifice loo great. This absolute devotion to music she was able to inspire in others, owing to her remarkable personal magnetism. Her M selections were always taken from the best masters, thus adding materially to the culture of the pupils under her charge, as well as alfording purest enjoyment. Not only did her pupils appreciate this, but also the people of the city. This general sentiment was voiced by a business man when he said, that even pressing business matters with him had to wait in order that he might have the pleasure of hearing Miss Ensle’s pupils sing. In losing Miss Ensle from the Faculty, we lost a teacher whom every pupil loved. She will always lie remem- bered by the people of Paris, and the best wishes for her happiness and success go with her from the pupils of P. H. S. THE SEMI-CHORUS OF P. H. S HE Semi-chorus of Paris High School was first organized during the winter of 1906-07. It was at this time that our beloved Miss Ensle came to be director of music in the public schools. Almost immediately she instituted a large general chorus of mixed voices and before the end of the term had also organized a Semi-chorus, composed of about twelve or fifteen girls. In 1907 there was a large Meet held at Sullivan, Illinois, in which the Semi-chorus successfully competed against other choruses from various towns, and won a large crimson and black pennant. In 1907-08. the number in the Semi-chorus was increased and every member practiced faithfully under the director. Miss Ensle. They sang at the Farmers’ and Teachers’ Institute, at several school entertainments, and several times in the different churches when lectures were X vT: : given. This year there was an Inter-Scholastic Meet at Charleston in which the Semi-chorus competed and again won a beautiful red and gold pennant. In 1909, a contest between Charleston and Paris, was held at Paris, in which the Semi-chorus almost won the large and beautiful orange and black pennant. This failure was not due to inefficiency on the part of Miss Ensle or the girls composing the chorus. However, as Paris had won every prize excepting the one for the oration, the judges felt that it would not lx fair to give all the honors to Paris; especially as Charleston was its guest, so they kindly decided in favor of Charleston. This, of course, was only a matter of court- esy on their | art. The girls were almost paid for their loss because of the hilarity of the boys in having won so many honors, and also because of the sympathy and condolence which they received. These pennants, together with several others, and two large cups, one of silver and one of copper, won by the Cadet Company, adorn the front of the Assembly room. In 1909-10. the Semi-chorus, with the assistance of the Glee Club, under the able direction of Miss Ensle. Miss How- ell, who assisted in the libretto work, and Miss Lamb, who drilled the characters for the dances, gave an operetta entitled “The Captain of Plymouth. This play was an immense success and was repeated as a matinee. Immediately after this Miss Ensle left lor Nebraska, and Miss Robinson took her place. It has not been decided whether there will be a contest this year, but the girls are diligently practicing to be ready, in case there should be. and also for participation in the Commencement Exer- cises. Every year since its organization, the Semi-chorus has sung at Commencement, adding much to these exercises. So here’s hoping that, as years roll on. the Semi-chorus will grow as the High School grows, becoming a recognized feature among the music loving people of Paris. Helen M. Green. Helen M. Haber, L. Jean Brown, Committee. □ □ □ THE CAPTAIN OF PLYMOUTH HE Captain of Plymouth, a rollicking comic opera, was one of the events of the year. It was given by the Glee Club and the Semi-chorus of the High School under the direction of the musical instructor. Miss Florence Ensle, with Miss Howell to manage the drama- tics. Miss Stella Lamb had the direction of the dances. It was easily the most pretentious piece of amateur dramatics ever attempted in Paris, and was decidedly a hit. The theme of the production was the Puritan story of the courtship of Miles Standish. In the first act the Captain has sent John Alden, his diligent scribe, to carry his offer of marriage to Priscilla, the fairest maid in Plymouth. John is in despair for he is in love with Priscilla himself. Th? Captain arrives in the meantime and tries his own hand at wooing Priscilla. As the curtain goes up on the second act. Priscilla is sitting at home singing as she spins. A knock is heard and John enters with the Captain’s offer. The second scene of Act II shows the blustering Captain” and Erasmus, his right bower” and man-at-arms, tied to a tree. About are Wattawamut, the chief, and his Pequot braves. After threatening them, the Indian’s dis- appear and Katonka, an Indian princess, comes in and sets them free. She. however, insists on the hand of Miles in marringe before she will cut the ropes, and he consents. In Act III, Miles and Erasmus are discovered talking over the situation. The Captain refuses to have anything to do with Katonka. and wants to marry Priscilla at once. The ceremony is just about to be performed and Alden is in greatest grief when Katonka comes rushing in. Elder Brew- ster on questioning Miles, learns of his promise to Katonka and forthwith gives Priscilla to John. The curtain falls with the Captain stoutly maintaining that he will give up Priscilla to John but he will “never marry Katonka. because Mr. Long- fellow didn’t tell him to. Sylvian Sholem in the title role, contributed largely to the success of the production. His easy presence during the whole and especially his scene with P asrvus at the tree, was a real treat. The part of Erasmus was carried by Elmore Allen, who assisted the Captain in a very assuring manner. His interpretation of the humor of the trying situation, was proved by the appreciation of the audience. Helen Baber in the role of Priscilla, made a delightful Puritan girl and her solos were perhaps the crowning feature of the score. The part of John Alden. her lover, was done by Ira Allen. He was at his best perhaps in the spinning scene and his duets with Priscilla. The melancholy Elder Brewster was well done by Leo Headley, and his stre:'. ? voice was well suited to his part. Myrle Rahel's interpretation of the part of the Indian Princess Katonka, was graceful and humorus. The part was a difficult one and was extremely well played. Georgena Sellar as the demure Mercy, set the audience into a gale as she said, I didn't say anything. I just whistled.” The choruses more than fulfilled expectations and hon- estly merited the applause they received. The music throughout the evening went without a break. The dances were graceful and though not difficult, added greatly to the general success of the performance. The charming success of the whole affair was largely due to the able and untiring efforts of Misses Ensle and Howell, and to the pianist. Miss Nelle Winn. To them and to a cast that really endeavored to make the play “go,” Paris is indebted for one of the treats of the year. Last will and testament of the Senior class. □ □ □ P. H. S. ORCHESTRA HE year 1910 has seen the birth of a new and. we sincerely hope, permanent organization. The Or- chestra. although called into being: rather late in the year, has made itself heard and is a welcome addi- tion to the music of the school. Practice has been regular X and consistent, in preparation for the music of the Commence- ment Exercises and the Senior Class Play. The success of the organization has been largely due to the interest and efforts of the new Supervisor of music. Miss Elizabeth Robinson.

But alas! this rat we gave a reception Worse than any in its recollection. As over the Assembly floor it fled. After it flying, its pursuers sped. The air re-echoed with manifold screams. As if the screamers were having bad dreams; On to the window the lean rat flew. And the girls raised such a hullabaloo. That their own tame rats peeped out to see What was the cause of the strange melee. Oh! the days are many, the weeks are long. And now I m nearing the end of my song; Lo! the chase of the rat did work such destruction. That the Freshmen class had a slight reduction. For when thru the l,ab. that slim rat ran.

I went to the desk ’bout an hour ago And asked Mr. Jones in a voice meek and low If I to the library might not repair In order to look up some references there. I stood on one foot and then on the other. Mr. Jones opened one eye. then opened ’tother: One hand stole slowly along the top Of the desk to some paper, where it did stop; Meanwhile I wondered if he'd heard me at all And ventured my plea to his mind to recall. His other hand slowly toward a pencil did creep While I stood there. Alas! 'fast going to sleep! Soon a queer dream did come to my sight— I dreamed that I had a huge stick of dynamite. 1 carefully placed it beneath Jones's chair. I lighted a match, and deposited it where It would affect either dynamite. Jones, or the chair. All of a sudden I came to with a start. My mouth filled with something suspiciously like heart. I looked up at Jones—he was nodding his head. I guess it afTected Jones,” to myself I then said. Generic re Huston ’12 Chemistry Class Yell! Antimony! Antimony! Zinc! Zinc! Zinc! Carbon disulphide!
