2 THE ARENA THE BOARD’S APPEAL (With Apologies to Shapespeare.) FRIENDS, STUDENTS AND ALUMXI: Hour us for our cause, and be attentive, that you may hear; read our ARENA for its worth, and buy a copy, that you may read; judge it to be worth one dollar and a half, and pay it, that you may be the better judge. If there be any egotistical Junior or dear little Soph mentioned herein, to him we say that our love for him was no less than his for us. If, then, one demand why we roasted him so hotly, this is our answer—not that he de- served less, but that our space would not permit more. Had he rather pose as a man and deceive the honest public than that his true calibre should be known and be treated accordingly? Who is so base that he would be a Junior? If any, speak, for him we have offended. Who is there so dumb that he would be a Soph? If any, speak, for him we have offended. Who is there so blind to merit that he would not be a Senior? If any, let him hang himself. Awaiting replies, we remain. Yours truly, “YE EDITORS.” PARIS HIGH SCHOOL 4 THE ARENA FOREWORD WIIAT YOU MIGHT ASK: Why these endless tales of folly, Why these jokes and silly somethings, Why such gaudy, gilded nothings, Gathered but to cause a smile ? WIIAT WE WOULD AXSWER: Reader, if such be your reasoning, If you open this our volume Seeking potent words of wisdom, Voicing truths of great import, Then we pray you to desist, Lest you find not what you seek. But if you can still remember All your youthful joys and follies, Follies crowned with mirth and goodwill, We will gladly welcome you. Doubtless then on these few pages You can trace the joyous spirit Of a happy High School life, Old, may be, yet ever new. And perhaps some jovial story, Striking sounding chords within you, Will call up old High School scenes, And the things that then did happen, Years and years ago. THE ARENA 5 TO MISS MI LDRED BOLAND in appreciation of her friendship ami kindly interest in ns dur- ing our High School life, we, the Senior Class, gratefully dedi- cate the ARENA of 1920.

AN APPRECIATION. It is with great regret that the students of the High School learn that two members of the faculty, Mr. Beecher and Mr. Keith, are to sever their connection with the High School at the end of the school year 1010-11)20. As Principal of the High School and Superintendent of Schools Mr. Beecher has ren- dered efficient service for eight years, and as a teacher of His- tory and Political Economy has won a warm place in the affec- tions of all who have had the privilege of being in his classes. Mr. Keith, the head of the Commercial Department and the Assistant Principal of the High School, is a most loyal friend of the entire student body, and tin high regard with which he is considered hv the students is a tribute to his unfailing inter- est in the school and all its activities. For several years In has been the counselor of the Junior class, in which capacity he has brought each class safely through this important year. Much credit is due Mr. Keith for his splendid work as business man- ager of the basket hall team, and the boys on the team greatly appreciate his work in this direction. At the Thursday morn- ing exercises in the Assembly both Mr. Beecher and Mr. Keith are always willing to address the pupils on matters concerning rheir welfare and advancement, and are usually available to students for individual advice ami aid. The resignation of I lies© two members of the faculty will mean a great loss to FIVE HUNDRED STUDENTS OF P. H. S. 10 THE ARENA CAROLYN L. WENZ, A. B.

Our coining into High School was remarkable for two reasons: First, our class was the largest which had yet entered, as it was composed of one hundred forty-three members, most of whom have continued faithfully to their Senior year; second, it was the first class which was allowed to enter without being taunted and tormented as Freshmen had been before. Most of us can yet remember those anxious days of waiting in the Assembly until Miss Wenz made her appearance and told us what classes to attend and, also, our puzzling experiences of wandering through tl� e halls, seeking our strange class-rooms. Our class was always an important one. As early as our Freshmen year some of our members asserted their rights as literary leaders. One of our number won a great honor at Charleston by so successfully reciting “Ben llur” that she car- ried off the gold medal. In our Sophomore year, although that year is generally rather obscure, we did various notable things. Among these were the purchase of War Saving and Thrift Stamps, joining the Junior Red Cross, and the adoption of a war orphan. We had several parties in the gymnasium and had a bob-sled ride worthy to be remembered. Our Junior year was a very important and happy one, as we were busy with giving picture shows, presenting our class play, buying our class rings, and giving tin Junior banquet. Our Junior class play, thanks to Yi iss Dayton, was an excellent one, ranking with that given by the class of 17 in its Junior year, which was the l est Junior class play that had yet been given. Our Junior banquet was thought by everyone to l e a great success. It took place in the “gym,” which was beauti- . .illy decorated and transformed for .he occasion. In this year our Thursday morning assemblies, which are enjoyed by all, began. We have taken a prominent part in these assemblies and on one morning furnished the entire program. This, our closing year, has thus far been a very enjoyable one. We have already had one party in the gym and a bobsled ride, both of which were thoroughly enjoyed despite the fact that we are now dignified Seniors. We have not yet commenced our class play, hut we are sure that it will be a good one. and are looking forward with both joy and regret to Commencement which will end our days in dear old P. H. S. LOUISE LODGE. ’20, THE ARENA 37 CLASS PROPHECY Oh, dear! I wonder if I got any mail this morning! 1 do hope I did. Since IJvc been teaching up here at this college, I'm just about crazy if I don't get a letter from home and ic seems as if the folks are awfully slow about answering my let- ters. Perhaps that’s because Pm too anxious and it seems longer between letters than it really is. Is there any mail for me, Jane? Oh, goodie! A letter and some sort of a circu- lar! Wonder who the letter is from—I can’t make out the postmark. Oh, well, the quickest way to find out is to open it and see. Oh, it’s from Hi Id red Brewer, or Brewer it used to be, anyway. Let’s see. Well, she says that all her family are just fine, in fact, she’s written about six pages about them. Then she has asked about the members of the class of 1020. Oh, how I’ll hate to confess to her that T know so little about them, after the way I used to declare that T was always going to keep myself posted as to the doings of my classmates. Oh, dear! T wish T did know, for T’d really like to know myself. Oh, well, what’s the use of worrying because I can’t do some- thing that is almost impossible, for where on earth could I ever find out about all those folks? Gracious! T nearly forgot to see what that other thing was! Why, it might he an announcement of a legacy or some- thing like that! ITa! ha! Oh! Oh! Will wonders never 38 THE ARENA cease? A copy of The Paris Daily Beacon! Where on earth do you suppose it came from? Oh! Ix ok! It says, “Paris Daily Beacon, Nov. 28, 11)28. Eugene See, Editor ' Well, 'veli, 1 never thought Eugene would make an editor. But if one miracle such as getting this paper can happen, others cer- tainly can. But mercy me! I never even looked at the headlines and look there! ALLEN ALBERT ELECTED SENATOR! I [mm! Allen Peihl Albert elected Democratic Senator from Illinois, by an overwhelming majority. Why, that must be our Allen Albert! I just knew he would do something wonderful like that ! I remember what fun we used to have in American History class. Allen just loved to argue and debate and he al- ways took the 1 lemocrats’ side. Oh! look here! Ijouise Lodge has been elected to the Mouse of Representatives in our own state legislature! Well, it’s certainly marvelous! When I was in dear old Paris High School I little thought that any of my classmates would ever do anything like that. That was certainly a tine class, if I do say it myself. Now, let's see—I’m going to look at the Society news first, although Pd never tell any of the boys at school, for they’d think that such a choice only showed the inferiority of a woman’s mind. Hmm! What’s this? “At a dinner party given at her home on West Pourt Street, Friday evening, Mrs. W .B. Beebe announces the engagement of her daughter, Mar- cella, a former instructor of English at the University of Red- lands at Redlands, Palifornia, to M'r. .lames T. Prvxqvt, « prominent banker of Phicago.” ITmm! that’s the way it goes! When a girl has brains like Marcella had, what does she want to get married for? “Those present were Leone Bussart, a famous actress, who was the leading lady in—.” Well, well, I remem- ber what a success she was in our .1 unior class play. But I sup- pose that, like all the others, she’ll be married soou. “Francis Phittiek, an Ensign in the Navy.” Oh, yes, I remember during our Sophomore year he joined the Navv and came back during our Junior year, made up his work, and graduated with his lass. Bully for old Francis! So lie’s gone back to the Navy. Well, I suppose he felt that intangible something known as the “call of the deep.” “Walter Stewart entertained at a stag party at his country home—Mrs. Stewart, the hostess (that must l e Anna Louise) was assited bv—’’well, suppose Walter is a farmer and I’ll wager anything he’s a good one. Oh! Here’s something I nearly missed! “Muss Beulah Fatnham entertained at a kitchen shower at her home on North Main Street in honor of Miss Agnes Haase, who i� soon It) be THE ARENA 39 married.” Oh! here’s one of those things that used to arouse my curiosity so. “It is rumored that a certain young lady re- siding south of the city and a certain young barber are to be married in the near future. The young lady is a graduate of Paris High School of the class of 1020. The young man is a prominent man al out town—Let me see ! That must be Helen Pearman and that young fellow (I think he was a barber), they had such a terrible case when we were in High School. Here’s another—“It is also rumored that a young lady of Kast Madison Street, and a young man who is employed in the Nordvke and Harmon automobile factory at Indianapolis are to be married soon. The young lady is also a member of the class of 1020, while the young man is the son of a prominent merchant of this city.” That must be Venus Marrs and that fellow who was in the army while we were Juniors, but who came back during our Senior year. They must have had a ease that “took” as hard as a vaccination to have waited so long. “Kathryn Kime Vfred- klv (what a shame I can’t see who she married) entertained at a luncheon Thursday in honor of—.”1 always thought she would marry one of those Grandview boys—Yes, it says right here—“at her home near Grandview.” Here’s something inter- esting—“A number of girls met at the home of Ella Gardner on East Washington Street Friday afternoon and formed a club called “The Manhaters League.” The following officers were elected: Ella Gardner, President: Grace Herrington. Vice- President; Madge Kizer, Secretary”—and the rest of them I don’t know. Well, well, that’s strange! What on earth has happened ? They were all quite popular with the boys when they were in High School. Hut I suppose that the league will end up about like Marguerite Clark’s union did in that cute picture “Girls.” Now I guess I’ll look at the “Personals” column and see if I can find anything about anybody I know. Oh! Look at this very first one! I’m not surprised, though. In fact, I really expected it—“Mr. and Mrs. Dale Sexson, of Indianapolis, are visiting at the home� of the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Xuckles, on West Washington Street. Mk Sexson is a prominent lawyer of that city.” Timm—“Mr. Lannon Simons has accepted the position of editor of the Terre Haute Tribune.” Oh! here’s something. “M'iss June Slaughter, the head nurse of the Baldwin hospital at Baltimore, Mid., is home for a two weeks’ Thanksgiving vacation. Miss Ililah Scott is visiting her sister at her home near Brouillefcte’s Creek”—suppose that’s Mary; I guess she must have married that boy she went with who lives near Horace. “Mfiss Mildred Ewing, instructor of THE ARENA 41 women’s athletics at the University of Michigan, is home for Thanksgiving vacation.” Mildred was certainly a good sport; 1 remember she went in for athletics so enthusiastically when we were in High School; then, too, she was always at every athletic game and always could get the girls to “yell” and “root” better than anyone else. “Miss Florence Anthony, formerly of this ?ity, has opened an exclusive shop for women’s garments in the Loop at Chicago.” Well, well, next time Fin in Chicago I’ll have to g to see Florence; perhaps she’ll be able to tell me all the news from home. That is an ideal occupation for her; I remember that she used to make all her clothes while she was in High School. “Mass Faye Moffet, who is traveling with the Kid- pith Lyceum-Lecture Bureau, will appear in Terre Haute next Friday evening—at the”--------- Oh! Just look. “M$ss Flor- ence Dillon has accepted the position of stenographer at”—Oh, well, it’s some name that I can’t pronounce; it must be some- thing new that’s come there since I’ve left. Well, T guess that’s all there is about anyone I know. Now I’ll turn back to the first page and read all the articles and advertisements and may- be I can find some more about the folks I used to know. Gra- cious! What’s this? “A Literary Paris—Paris is fast be- coming famous for its literary men and women; it has a large share of the prominent writers of the day.” (Oh! Put that’s the way local newspapers always talk about folks in their home town.) I guess I had better look; there might be something about someone I know. Why, sure enough—“Luther Greene, a very promising young writer” (yes, he used to lie quite a promis- ing young writer of notes to little Junior girls)—Oh! That must lie a perfeci scream! His latest book is “The Joys of 'Bachelorhood.” Ha! Ha! I suppose he must have been dis- appointed in love—I know he used to be so jealous whenever that little Mapes girl had a “date” with anyone else. Now, lot’s see if there’s anything else of interest. “Mss Irene Wood has published a book entitled “The Need of Better Education in the Country Schools.” Good for Trene! If we had more girls like her, we wouldn’t have such poor country schools. “Miss Mary Dodd has also published a book called “The Value of a College Education for Girls.” In this book Miss Dodd tells ns why girls should all have a college education, even if they do intend to get married. Then, too Paris has contributed a great leal to the newspaper world. “Mliss Opal Sizemore has taken the position as cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune.” Fine! T always wondered if Opal would ever do anything with her tal- ent along that line. She was the cartoonist for our annual and she certainly had some cartoons. “Seibert Colvin has been en- 42 THE ARENA gaged by the Terre Haute Tribune to draw a full-page cartoon in the Sunday comic section. .Mb’. Colvin has not yet an- nounced what his cartoon is to be called.” Now, here’s another such article. Well, Paris must be getting famous! ‘‘George Reese, a famous sculptor, has just completed an excellent statue of Abraham Lincoln, which is to be mounted in the”—Oh! '‘Miss Maxine McBride has been given the position of leading lady in the famous opera”—“Miss Emily Frazier has formed an operatic company of her own, after having been the leading lady for several years in—. Mr. George Biekett is to be her mana- ger.” So I suppose that she and George did get married. That certainly is fine! When we used to hear Emily and Maxine sing in our assemblies, we prophesied that they would one day be famous. Well, I guess that’s all of that that would interest me. Oh ! Here is a choice bit of news. “John Arbuckle, the coun- sel for the defense, made a strong plea before Judge Warren Bristow in the County Court today.” Then down here it says that the complainant was fined “so much” and costs. I suppose Arbuckle won the case. That shows what a fine lawyer he must be. Well, so John is a lawyer and “Dummy” is the County Judge. Pm so glad for them. John was always a deep thinker: I remember that in American History class he always aigued for what he thought was right rather than take the side of his political party, while “Dummy” always was a masterful boy, “leastways with the girls.” Well, I guess that’s all there Is on the first page that concerns anyone I know. Now, let’s see what we can find on the next page.. .Oh! Here’s an interest- ing article—“A Xew Paper for Paris. Paris is to have a new paper. It is to l c called “The Suffragette.” Miss Wilhelmina Hiekle is the editor as well as the proprietor, and M iss Florence DePriest is t( be the other member of the staff. Mr. Guinn Goff is to be the proof-reader and printer combined” (doesn’t that make you think of that shoe polish called “two-in-one”?) Well, that isn’t so surprising when you think how “sot” Wilhel- mina was in her ways and what long speeches Florence used to make in History Class. Here’s an advertisement for a stock sale—bv Russell Handy. Well, T suppose he is a farmer; I remember hearing once what a success he was in his work. But for goodness sake look here ! “Auctioneer—Howard M'cGill!” Of all persons! Well, I imagine that he would m ke a good one, for lie alwavs had such a strong voice and I guess that’s what it takes to be an auctioneer. Here’s an article—“Changes m the Offices of Paris.” “Miss Gladys Bales has taken the posi- tion of bookkeeper at the Merkle-Wiley Broom Factory, while Mtiss Mildred Bunnell has taken the position of stenographer.” THE ARENA 43 i expect they’ll make good in the business world. I guess they were pretty good in their Commercial subjects. “Miss Rose Mattingly has accepted the position as head of the Victrola de- partment at the Jones store.’ That is nice; she was such a sweet little girl, but I always thought she’d get married. “M iss Alta Runyan is the new stenographer at Colson’s.” Iiunim! That’s queer. The girls used to tease her about her diamond that she wore and I really thought she was engaged. “Miss MW- garet Stubbs has taken the position of the bookkeeper at the Jones store.” Well, I guess she “stuck to the same old place, for I remember she worked there when we were in High School. .Miss Mary Murphy is the few bookkeeper at Colson’s.” Well, gracious sakes. These advertisements nearly take my breath away. “Frank Mover. Funeral Director.” Well, that's quite a diderent Frank from the happy care-free Frank that I knew. And look here! “Exclusive Mlillinerv, Latest Parisian Styles. Foley vV Griftin.” Do you suppose that could be Ada Folev and Xila drilling Do von suppose they irnlhf studied in Paris? I mean Paris, France, of course. Well, I’ve never fainted be- foic, but I will if 1 keep on reading such unexpected things. Why, just look here! “Miss Grace MjeCubbins has been ap- pointed matron of the Edgar County Orphans’ Home”—Of all things. But she always had a way with her and I imagine she’d Ik� very “taking” with the children. And look! “Miss Opal Beatty has opened a Kindergarten at her home.” Oh! Here's a little notice that I nearly missed. “Clar- ence Burgett. M. D.. Physician and Surgeon. So Clarence is a doctor! I always wondered wlmt he would he. And here’s an announcement- “Carl Stephens has purchased the Dorsett store.” Well, well, Carl always did work in men's clothing stores; I always supposed he’d have a store of his own some day. “Joseph Blackman manager of Wool worth’s.” Oh. ves, 1 ve nembcr he use I to work then� when lie was in High School, and here's Jones’ advertisement-—“Come to the Marinollo Beauty Shop for your facial troubles, Kxpert Doctors, Misses Alpha Ewing and Beulah Farnham.” Gracious! They were such cute little girls; I supposed they'd married long ago. That’s all there is on that page. Let’s see what’s on the next page. Oh! I spy something! The wedding licenses! and here’s lots of folks I know—“Dorothy Logan. 2 . Paris and Ger- ald Wdty lmnt” (Oh, dear! Aren’t typographical errors pro- voking? You can't tell who she's going to marry.) Here’s another—“Mary Frazer, 2 . and Russel Ste eus. 2 . both of Paris.” Well. I wonder if that's the hoy whose diamond she wore when we were Seniors? “Margaret Mercer, and 44 THE ARENA Wertyn Samjui, 2h, both of Paris.” Now isn’t that a shame ? How can I tell whether “Bunny married that Doak boy who went out West or that other Senior boy? What was his name? Well, what a coincidence! There’s something about him right here—“Mo . Charles Boyer, a civil engineer, is surveying the new double track between Terre Haute and Mattoon for the New York Central Railroad.” I guess Charles achieved his am- bition, for if I rememlx r correctly, that was what he wanted to be. And here’s an announcement that Arthur Blair is to open a picture studio. Well, I never dreamed of such a thing, but I’ve experienced so many shocks today that I’ll never say any- thing is impossible. But here are two tiny announcements that I almost overlooked—“A box social will be held at the - schoolhousc, Ruth Brinkerhoff, Teacher.” That reminds me— I wonder if she still gets the prizes for being the prettiest girl ? She always used to. And the other: “Miss Florence Moss has been given a place on the staff of the Daily News as the editor of the “Question and Answer” column.” Tt will he interesting, I know, for if giggling and blushing show anything, Florence must be an adept at love problems. And I wish you’d look at these ads: Here’s an advertisement for a restaurant—“Ross Howard, Prop.” Mercy! What next ? And another for a barber shop—“Eugene Harris, Prop.” Absolutely, the age of miracles is not, past! For on the opposite side of the page are a few announcements regarding some changes in the teaching force of the schools of Paris. “Mr. Samuel Murphy has re- signed his position as teacher of Mathematics at the Paris High School to take a similar position in a Chicago High School.” Not surprising, is it ? At least, not if you consider what a good Math. student he was. Also—“Miss Vivian .Tenks has taken th place on the High School Faculty as Latin teacher from which Miss Elsie Tate recently resigned.” Then here it states that Miss Hazel Metcalf has boon appointed Principal of the Mayo School. Well, T remember that she once supplied there when were Seniors. What’s this big advertisement, anyway? Hi scions! T feel like Captain Eatzcn jammer. who alwavs says, “Vot dor Sam hill vill dem kids do next ?” Who wouldn’t, for here are sonic things verv astounding to an unsuspecting person. “Miss Alice Morton left today for Chicago, where she is to be emploved as an interior decorator.. .Mr. Paul Powers has accepted the position of editor of “Life.” Mr. Carlos Nor- man. formerlv of this eitv. has been promoted to the position of Superintendent of the Pathfinder Automobile factory at In- dianapolis.. .Mr. Frank Fontana has been made Superintendent of the MoOnire-Cummings car factory.” Well, here’s some- 45 THE ARENA thing 1 do not want to miss—An advertisement for the Kritz garage and one for the Tiffin jewelry store. Well, 1 never could imagine how those hoys would “turn out” when we were in 1 . II. S.; so now I'm glad for each one is tilling his own little niche and is certainly tilling it well. Now 1 guess I'm ready to turn to the next page. Well, the first thing 1 see is this advertise- ment for the greenhouse—“Georgia Whitcher, Prop.” That's line! I know Georgia makes a fine liower gardener. And here are some more startling facts! “Miss Josephine Lochenour, a missionary to Japan, returned home yesterday for a rest.” I’ll 1) 1 those little Japs just worship her; she was such a quiet, un- obtrusive little girl. Here’s another: ‘‘Mr. Homer Wright, a professional accountant, is auditing the books for the Jones store, the Link store, and the Dorsett store.” Look! Here are some advertisements for Mildred Wright’s Gift Shop and for Vivian Wright, Stationer. And here are some little announce- ments that are almost too little to be seen. “Miss Mabel Me- riore, an entymologist of no little note, has made a very valua- ble discovery in regard to a certain insect which is an important factor in the spread of a certain disease germ...Miss Louise McClure has been appointed Librarian of the City Library.” Well, that used to be her girlhood ambition. Oh! I nearly forgot to look over the “Classifieds.” There might be some one there I know. “For Sale—Three mules. T. Brursman.” Well, I suppose that means that Ted is a farmer. “Fortune-toll- ing—Mile. Esther Cook.” Well, what a surprise! I always wondered what she’d be. “For Sale—My latest and best cook- book—‘Cookery for Two.’ Silvia Hardy.” She was awfully good in Domestic Science, I guess. Oh, here’s the Grandview news. “Miss Esta Burton announced her engagement at a din- ner party last Thursday evening. Mr. Elmer Findley is hold- ing a class in Scientific Farming each Tuesday and Thursday evening for the boys who are unable to attend school.” That’s a fine example of philanthropic work for our class President to set us, isn’t it?..Then here’s an ad for Leonard Whitenack’s Confectionery and Candy Store, and an announcement as fol- lows: “Mr. Leon Sullivan has been appointed director of Debat- ing and Public-Speaking at the University of Indiana.” Now, I'll just have to see what movies Paris has been having lately. Gra- cious goodness! Another shock! See Doris Smith in—at the Majestic tonight. And further on— Ernest Weger, Mgr.” So Doris is a movie actress! I’d certainly like to see her! Well, when I picked up this paper. I little thought what all I was going to find out. And— Oh, joy! I won’t have to tell Mildred that I don’t know what my class- mates are doing—I know what I'll do! I’ll mark this copy right away and send it to her. AMY GREENFIELD. ’20. THE ARENA 47 W1LEJS' 111U11 SCHOOL DAYS ARE O’ER. In the year of 1920, When our High School days are o’er We will leave this dear old building, We may leave forever more. When the cares of life o’er take us And o’er many states we roam, We shall always think of Paris And our High School days at home. When our College days are ended, And we enter the race to the grave, Then we will thank our old High School For the knowledge that she gave. When we get gray and aged, And our goal is almost reached, Then we’ll praise our High School teachers For the sermons that they preached. When the race of life is over And we have passed that Golden Gate, Will this High School and its Seniors lie the leaders of the state? “TEDDY,” P. 11. S., ’’20. SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1920 of the Paris High School of Paris, Illinois, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and being conscious of the fact that our early career as mem- bers of the Paris High School will soon end, and desiring to leave the path of proper conduct well marked for all under- classmen, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills and codicils heretofore made by us: FIRST— In consideration of the untiring and persistent efforts made in our behalf by our beloved faculty, we hereby bequeath unto them in equal parts our kindest thoughts and heartfelt appre- ciation for the many favors bestowed upon us, and hereby ex- press our wish and desire that each of them shall have and re- ceive out of this our estate a substantial raise in salary each year hereafter, so long as they or any of them shall continue to rightly guide the youth in our school. SECOND— We bequeath to the Junior Class a desire, which we hope they will earnestly cultivate, to leave a glorious record for efli- 48 THE ARENA ciency in Paris High School; hereby promising and bequeath- ing to them full and ample payment for all energy expended in pursuance and care of that desire. THIRD— We leave and bequeath to the Sophomore (Mass a whole bushel of grit, backbone, and a goodly sprinkle of dignity; the first two of these elements they will need constantly, and should ever exercise and employ; and the third element they surely will have before finishing the four years of the course. We hereby give to them full power and authority to use all of the three at all times in any quantity without reservation or counsel of any court or authority. FOURTH— Having an earnest desire for the proper care and welfare of the Freshmen and Sub-Freshmen and realizing full well from our own experience the many pitfalls along the way of all in like manner traveling, we hereby give unto them, our newest friends, a full measure of perseverance, hereby promising them that though at times the way may seem rough and long, they too, like us, will at its close regret the end, and we earnestly beseech them that in consideration of our remembrance to them in this our will, they will give their best efforts in all that is outlined for them. FIFTH— I, Charles Royer, leave inv athletic ability to be divided equally between Bryan Risner and Allan Perisho. SIXTH— I, Doris Smith, leave my rosy cheeks and curly locks to Carolyn .Moyer. SEVENTH— I, Leon Sullivan, do bequeath my excellent, Latin transla- tions to Martha Logan, with the hope that she may improve the same. EIGHTH— T, Maxine McBride, and I, Faye Mtoffett, bequeath our cpit-curl8 to Mass Dayton, hereby requesting that she give unto each of them the constant care and attention to which they have so long been accustomed. NINTH— I, Beulah Farnliam, and I, Louise MfcClure leave our vio- lin duets to one Rol ert Doak and Joe Mercer, giving them full power and authority to dispose of the same as they deem proper and advisable. TENTH— I, Hazel Metcalf, leave to Anna Kauffman my energy and THE ARENA 49 determination, promising her that the more these gifts are used the more effective they become. ELEVENTH— I, Nila Griffin, leave to Scott Wetzel six brown curls, knowing full well his appreciation of the same. TWELFTH— I, Ted Brunsman, leave to Charles Jenks my position as Class Jester in Algebra 111, heretofore having been bestowed upon me by one in authority. THIRTEENTH— 1, Carl, Stephens, leave to Tom McCubbins my dislike for English. FOURTEENTH— I,‘ Emily Frazier, leave to Miss Roach as Trustee one George Bickett, having full faith and confidence in such Trus- tee to properly care for and instruct him. FIFTEENTH— We, the Senior Class, bequeath to the Juniors in our said English Class a small book, “.Macaulay’s Essays on Addison and Johnson,” which we hope they will greatly enjoy and profit by. SIXTEENTH— We leave to Mr. Crosby a book, Pigs Is Pigs,” which we hope will aid him in his Agriculture work. SEVENTEENTH— We, the Senior Latin Class, direct out of our estate a sufficient sum be taken and delivered to Miss Tate, with which she is directed to purchase one floor mop. six bars Sapolio, and one can Old Dutch Cleanser, in order that the Latin Class may remain as clean and spot- less henceforth as she has caused it to be in the past. EIGHTEENTH— We do leave a trust fund, the income from which is to be expend- ed under the direction of Miss Reed, for the employment of a tinker or mender of the dish-pans used in the kitchen, she to have full pow- er and authority without any order of court or Hoard of Education, to employ whomsoever she will for said purpose, and she is not to be held to account for the manner of expenditure of said fund. NINETEENTH— In appreciation of Mr. Gillum’s many acts of kindness toward us, we hereby direct that out of our estate sufficient funds be taken and delivered to the Board of Education as a trust fund, the income from which is to be expended for the necessary hire of two assistants for Mr. Gillum, to aid him in his many duties in behalf of janitor work of the school. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we hereunto set our hands and seals this 16th day of February, A. D. 1920. SENIOR CLASS PARTS HIGH SCHOOL, 1020. (Mildred Mnrv Brewer, ’20.) GREEN STOCKINGS CAST THE ARENA GREEN STOCKINGS 51 ‘‘Green Stockings,” the dramatic offering of the Junior Class for tlie season ot JO 11), was successfully presented at the Assembly Hall May 1C� , 1SH1E After their several weeks consistent rehearsal, under their able director, M5ss Dayton, whose efforts made the play a success, the players were in ex- cellent condition, and went through the entire three acts with hardly a mistake. Highest honors of the evening go to Miss Leone Bussart, who assumed the leading role, ‘‘Celia Faraday.” Miss Bussart gave a very pleasant interpretation of the English girl, with a senae of humor, who, wishing to avoid putting on the third pair of green stockings at the wedding of her youngest sister, Phyllis, invented a lover. Sin- put into her part whimsical humor and did artistic dramatic work. The ingenue rob� , “Phyllis Faraday,” was played by Miss Fave Moffet. Miss Moffet’s acting was delightfully natural and unrestrained. Her elocution was clear and direct. Miss Marcella Beebe, as “Aunt Ida,” portrayed the emo- tions of a quick tempered, warm-hearted woman to perfection. Her part was well handled. This scene, in which she had hys- terics, was very lifelike and realistic. This scene was enjoyed very much by the audience. The two remaining feminine roles were excellent charac- terizations. Miss Maxine McBride, as Lady Tenchard,” and Miss Margaret Mercer, as “Mrs. Rockingham, deserve praise. Lai.ien Simons played the leading masculine role, Colonel Smiih� Va' assour, and played it well. He was a very determined lover and won Celia, although the joke was on him after all. He was admirably suited for his role of the convincing hero. Frank A. Moyer, playing the part of Robert Tarver, an emj ty headed young swell, was the star comedian of the evening. His vciy appearance was amusing to the audience. A monocle and mustache disguished him and made him appear the very picture of a good natured Englishman. Mr. Faraday.” the somewhat selfish father, was done by George ’tickett. Admiral Grice, a testy old sea dog. played by Francis Chittick, was well portrayed. The lemaining masculine roles were well taken care of by Dale Sexson, Elmer Findley and Carlos Norman. The first two were of the idle rich, while the latter was the old family servant. A benefit performance was given July 7. 1919. at the Opera House, under the auspices of the library board and Canton Booth of the I. O. O. F. A goodly number of books was purchased by the library with the funds received. F. M. '19. 52 THE ARENA THE JUNIOR BANQUET Banquets are funny things, particularly Junior banquets. As soon as one looks at his program he usually asks why they have so many speeches. Of course, the banquet given for the class of ’19 was no exception. The hall itself was beautifully decorated; arches of pink and green ribbons met over the tables, myriads of Japanese lan- terns danced from the ceiling; placards of many colors an- nounced perfectly unintelligible things, in Japanese or Chinese, from the several walls. All the walls were covered with color and the whole effect was that of a garden. Like the hall, the tables were decorated with pink and green. Dainty baskets of pink and white and others of green and white contained nuts. Napkins were lettered with a large twenty. The menu cards were also of green and white and were tied with a green ribbon. The food started out with pink ice and ended with two mints, one of green, the other of white. Baked chicken, Parker- house rolls, perfection salad, tutti-frutti ice cream, whatever that may be, all made up a triumph for the guild of the Christ- ian church which served it. After the gorging which ensued, came retribution in the form of the inescapable program: Toastmaster....................................Lannon Simons, ’20 Our Guests.....................................Elmer Findley, ’20 Our Hosts...........................Jane Hunter Colwell, 19 Piano Duet...............Louise Lodge, ’20, Vivian Jenks, ’20 P.

Helen MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR CLASS 56 THE ARENA HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1921 I wish that my pen were one of magic, so that I might write glowinglv ami brilliantly. Instead of that, it is, as the rankest amateur that I shall try to tell to others the splendid his- tory of our first two and one-half years in I II. S. Who will say that September 7 of 1917, the day when our class, one hundred fifty strong, entered this “Temple of Learn- ing,” was not a memorial date in the annals of old P. II. S. ? I t was not long before we were asked to contribute to the social and athletic life of the school and we responded with athletes, debaters and musicians. However, before we were through with Latin gerunds we became convinced that ‘‘Knowledge is bought only with a weary care and wisdom means a world of pain.” Hut here our genuine old American pluck came to our aid, and nothing daunted, we pushed on. September of 1918 found us full fledged Sophs, trying hard to live up to the requirements of a Soph. We were not slackers by any means and subscribed to the Liberty Loans, the lied (Voss and bought W. S. S. We were 100 per cent Junior Red Cross and also adopted a French Orphan. As for our class parties, they have been the finest ever given on this side of the Jordan. However, this may offend our respected Seniors; so perhaps it might l e more diplomatic to revoke it and say theirs were the finest ever given on either side of the Jordan—so far as we know. There is one way in which we easily excel all other classes and that is in our crop of politicians. Among these, now ami then, we find we are blessed with a statesman, for many are called but few are chosen. September again rolls around ami lo! we are Juniors. We enter into our new life, “vainly seeking to spell the mystic charm of knowledge.” In a way this is tin� most important year of all. for this year we are to give a banquet to the Seniors, and, though this event will not happen until spring, we know it is going to he an overwhelming success. We are looking for- ward also to our class play, which we intend to make worthy of our splendid talent. One of the many things we have done this year was to bring to Paris a picture, “The Heart of Hu- manity,” which is considered one of the best of the manv war pictures. M E. H., ’21. MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR CLASS 58 THE ARENA PROPHECY OF ’21 (With Apologies to Oliver Wendell Holmes.) Have you heard of the wonderful P. II. S. That was built in such a logical stress It ran just forty years to a day? And then of a sudden, it—ah. but stay, I 11 tell you what happened without delay, Scaring the Presides into tits. Frightening the teachers out of their wits,— Have you ever heard of that, I say? Nineteen Seventeen;—it came and found Paris High School safe and sound. Nineteen Seventeen increased by one;— “Palace of Learning” ’twas called for fun. Nineteen hundred and Nineteen came. Running as usual, much the same; And then came Twenty and Twenty-One. Now in building classes, T tell you what. There is always somewhere a weakest spot,— Above or below, or within or without;— And that’s the reason, beyond a doubt. That a ela. s breaks down, but doesn’t wear out. Hut 21 swore (as 21’s do) With a “Listen to us, we’ll put her through,” They would build one class to beat the town And the county and all the country ’round : “For,” said 21, “ ’tis mighty plain That the weakest one must stand the strain: And the way to fix it, as we maintain, Is only just. To make that one as strong as the rest.” That was the way they put her through: “Now,” said 21, “now she’ll do.” Do! I tell you, I rather guess She is a wonder and nothing less! 'readier and Teacheress will drop away, Freshies and Seniors, where are they ? Hut there'll 1m the memory of 21 THE ARENA 59 Fresh as the day our diplomas were won ! You see, of course, if you’re not a dunce, How we’ll graduate together, all at once. End of prophecy of 21. Draw the curtain; the tale is done. MARY ELIZABETH HIUSSONG, ’21. A SONNET. (Dedicated to All Students.) When 1 am wearied by the round of toil, And think of all my fondest hopes far strayed, Of all my plans wound up into a coil. The wreck of all my schemes carefully laid: The world seems dark, and I am a-wearv, My life appears all black, black seems the way. And school-work seems to become quite dreary, I dread to study for the approaching day: And yet I diligently go to work. My poor head throbs, 1 wish that I were done; All, all I study, nothing do I shirk. And finally 1 know that I have won: Then, haply my mind wanders to the show. And I, triumphant, to the movies go.

Ten years ago these dignified Sophomores were first in- troduced to the joys of attending school. Then we realized only that we were learning to read those two lines of perfect handwriting on the blackboard: “Come away, Come and play.” One year ago we were first introduced to the joys of at- tending High School. We were too busy watchiw our p’s and | s in order that we might make no mistakes, to realize the im- portance of the occasion. During this year we followed the usual schedule of experiences of the Freshman and, having fin- ally completed this, have risen to the higher plane of the Sopho- more. We concluded our Freshman year verv successfully by contributing several members to the track and to the oratorical teams. This year we opened the season by contributing, as be- fitted us, to the Salvation Army work. In October we enjoyed a Hallowe’en masquerade party in the gym. A steadily in- creasing number of our classmates have become members of the literary and debating societies and the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs. This year we were given a chance to demonstrate our talents on the assembly room platform. In January we enjoyed a Mi- sled ride as our quarterly social effort. We have braved the terrors of semester-exam week and now feel more dignified than ever, for even the Freshies are fresh no more since some fresher, greener shrubs have been transplanted into our assembly even at mid-season. Perhaps they will prove to be hardy plants and thrive in spite of the unusual season of their sowing. We wish them good-luck. For ourselves, however, we must look not into the past but to the glorious future and the triumphs to come in our Junior year. C. F. E., ’22. We are the children. Who lived in a shoe, And have so many teachers We don’t know what to do. But let us rejoice, And sing in their praise, We’re glad that they’re with us. And mending our ways.

FRESHMEN CLASS 70 THE ARENA Freshman Class History—1919-1920 September 1919, was a very important day for about •lie hundred and forty Ixiys and girls. We were to start our career in Paris High School. Of course, we disliked the idea of being Freshmen. We had heard many of the tales of terror relating to the? tortures of the new classes. Hut. at eight o'clock we determinedly swallowed the large lumps that came into our throats and entered the High School. A pleasant surprise awaited us. It was not. nearly so bad as we had expected. By carefully following the directions on me program slip given us, we soon learned where our class rooms were, what to do and what not to do, so verv few of ns were lost. We soon left this stage of our career behind us. It was riot long till we began to attract the attention of the higher and mightier classes. We soon organized our class and elected our officers. In a short time members of our class had joined tin� Alethenai, the Debating (Mubs, the basket ball reams, the foot- ball teams, and the cadets. Two of our boys received “letters” at the end of the football season. This was conceded, even by the other classes, to be piite an honor. We soon branched out in a social way by having a party. The old gym rang with fun and laughter and all too soon tin hands of tin clock pointed to ten P. M., when we were obliged to say good night. We entertained at assembly a week before C hristmas. This was an honor very few other eln os of our rank had enjoyed. After a two weeks’ vacation we came back and bravely went through the long hours of semester exams. The first of the year about fifty new Freshmen entered our class and after this times were easier for us. Since we are one of the largest classes that has ever entered P. If. S., we are trying hard to do our part as the Freshman class. We moreover determine that we will also do our best when we again enter dear ld Paris High as Sophomores. HKLEX M. KLDRFDGE, 23.

Always cut up in class and endear yourself to the teacher forever.—Scott Wetzel. Always pretend to be interested in your work and your teacher.—Cleone Stubbs. Always keep your book open in class. It helps.—Jesse Bandy. Always laugh at the teacher’s jokes. It is good policy.— The Seniors. Always argue every chance you get. It kills time and in- creases your vocabulary.—Allen Albert. Never worry yourself. Worry tin teacher instead.—Ed- ward Tiffin. Never let a chance go of letting everyone know that you know all about it.-— Mary Dodd. Always look wise. The teacher can not tell the differ- ence.—Carlos Norman. Always look sleepy. The teacher may have a heart and not call on you.—Frank Moyer. Change girls about once a month. One soon gets tiresome. --Carl Stephens. Always smile. Tt attracts the teacher as well as the girls. —Francis Chittick. Always take front seat. The teachers will nearly always overlook you.—Mary Frazier. Look distinguished and have a wittv remark handy. You may get by.—N. Griffin. Get all the fellows you can. The more the merrier.— T eone Bnssart. Don’t use hair dyes. Look natural.—Peg Nuckles. WHAT DO LITTLE FRESHIES SAY? What do little Freshies say To each other every day ? “Oh! that we might do,” Little Freshies sav, “As the Sophomores do each day.” Freshies wait a little longer, Till your little wits are stronger, Then the Sophomores will let you do As they used to want to do. Mr. Keith spends most of his time in bookkeeping class telling the girls to keep their date column closed. THE ARENA 72 THE MID-YEAR FRESHMEN ‘‘Sink or swim, survive or perish,” we? gave our hearts am) our minds to the task of completing the Eighth grade in a half year and entering High School at the beginning of the second semester, Behold us then, the “survival of the fittest” of the Grammar schools! From Mayo, Sandford, Vance, Kedmou ami Tanner we came, fifty-eight strong. Timid ? Yes. But that is characteristic of all Freshmen. On entering High School we were surprised at the interest displayed in us by the other students. But by paying strict attention to the directions given by the faculty and turning a deaf ear to all others we soon became naturalized. Our boys, on account of their late en- trance into High School and their shortness of stature (not muscle), were not aide to participate in athleetics other than by being present at every game and demonstrating the soundness of their lungs by rooting for Haris High. The girls ran the boys a close second in showing their enthusiasm along this same line. Do we debate? Not yet. Wait till next year; then look to the mid-vear Freshies to win laurels. What our past is you all may know; what our future may l e only time can tell. Then here’s to Old High School! We love her. we do, To her high code of honor May we ever be true! TURNER TRIMBLE.

ALETHENAI THE AREJNA 77 THE ALETHENAI The Alcthenui Literary Society was organized in i li. on February 2, lblo, with sixty-nvc members drawn irum an rile classes, ilie meetings oi tile society have been held every two weeks, generally on iuesday evening. Hie eiwrams given nave shown some oi the active members as forceful debaters, talented musicians, and even extemporaneous speakers of prom- ise. The program Committee, including -Marcella Beebe (ChairmanJ Martha Logan and Carolyn Eads, have planned some most interesting programs. Each member of the com- mittee has taken her turn in planning the programs. They have been widely chosen—from Bibical times up to the present day. The program on sports and games of different countries in the different seasons was much appreciated. While we were trying out the different systems of Education we enjoyed a program which gave us an insight into the systems of Educa- tion in European countries. The program on the History of the Jews and the foremost modern American poets was divided so that each separate topic was given with much detail. The Program committee has given each member of the society a chance to exhibit his abili- ties. 'Flic meetings are very well attended and excellently car- ried through. With the criticisms of our faculty we feel the efforts we make in our meetings greatly worth while. We, the Seniors, thank our faculty now for their interest and guidance in our work. With our eighty members at present, and with the addi- tion of the Freshmen just entering, we hope that the Alctheiiai may pass another successful five years, continuing to be a svm- IkJ of P. 11.

In a recent examination the pupils were asked to give the principal parts of the verb “to skate.” Marian Chapman wrote as follows: “Skate, slipperi, fallere, bumptnm.” Miss Ttoach marked the paper tlnisly: “Fail, fliinkere, flunxi, sns- pendum.” THE WRANGLERS THE ARENA 79 THE WRANGLERS Yes, we admit that, we are rather a novelty in P. II. S., but we arc all justly proud to lx the charter members of tin first girls’ debating society in the history of Paris H igh School. At first the plan of organizing a girls’ debating club was looked upon very unfavorably and with a great lack of confidence. So one can deny now, however, that we have succeeded. This is due in part to the careful guidance of our counselor, M iss Wen , as well as the enthusiastic co-operation of the officers and the members. Put our ability did not go long unquestioned. In due time the Phisticuffs challenged us to a point debate be- tween chosen teams of three from each club. This was probably the largest and best debate ever held in the school and did much to increase interest in the activities of the respective societies. As for the judges’ decision—if you do not already know that— ask the Phisticuffs. They scorned our ability once, but it is hardly likely that they will do so again. Our advice to all chal- lengers is: “Think twice lx fore you speak!” We, the present members, extend to you, the readers of the “Arena,” a most cordial invitation to attend our meetings and hear for yourselves how the “Wranglers” wrangle. mUTHA E.

As ingii grand ruiers i mules deuKs and William Dugan were chosen to serve as president and vice-president, with 1-eon «Stili 1 van as secretary and treasurer, to keep notes on them both. Mr. Keith was selected for official chaperone. A debate with the ranglers” to raise money lor the pic- ture of the club to be placed in the “Arena” was proposed at about the second meeting. A committee was appointed to draw up a challenge to the rival scrappers and the secretary was dele- gated to present it. At the same meeting a debate was held upon the labor question. The subject was, “Are l-abor I’nions Detrimental to the Economic Progress of the Country The Phisticuphs thought not, and the negative won. So much in- terest in this subject was aroused by the debate that when, in the acceptance of the challenge by the “Wranglers” it fell to the Phisticuphs to select the subject for the joint debate, the club chose the labor question. The time of the debate was fixed for the second day of Feb ruary. (Ah, fateful day!) Subsequent meetings of the Phisticuphs were called to give practice to the club representa- tives—Frank Moyer, Leon Sullivan and Allen Albert. The Phisticuphs found themselves opposed by the three Wrangler:. —Martha Logan, Marion Chapman and Carolyn Eads. The men knew they had their hands more than full. All Phisticuph forebodings were only too well justified by the splendid talks made by their girl opponents. The boys were not surprised when the decision was returned in favor of the Wranglers. De- spite this set-hack, the Phisticuphs feel that the time spent in the debates has been well worth while and has made them, or will help them become in future, abler to hold their own in the arguments of Room 9. Xew parliamentarians for the second semester were elected in Frank Moyer, president, Allen Albert, vice-president, with Leon Sullivan retaining his old position. ALLEX I). ALBERT, ’20.

Miss Bussart gave The High- wayman with remarkable force and expression. Paris High School was justly proud of its Freshman orator when Charles Jenks took sec- ond place in the humorous di- vision of the Eastern Illinois Oratorical contest at Charles- ton on May 12, 1919.

Five years ago, in 1015, football was revived in Paris High School. All the enthusiasm and ability necessary to produce a team was evident ; however, Paris High School has not shown in football the success which is apparent in teams from smaller schools than ours. This season we started with four hundred members as financial support, and the entire student body to lend the spirit. Our manager had provided us with proper equipment and we had a genuine coach, yet after a gruelling test of ten weeks we finished the season, practically defeated, having won only one game and that with a margin of one point. Surely then there is something wrong with the ‘‘indefina- ble, unconquerable school spirit” which the defenders of the Orange and Black so valiantly claim. Such a long period of failures should arouse the dormant minds of the fellows to ac- tion. This is the call direct, to every freshman, sophomore, junior and senior to protect the school from the inevitable dis- grace of athletic failure. The past season brought out probably a score of the two hundred boys of the school, who worked night after night to keep a team in existence. AfcCilbbins and Findlev alternated at quarter. MicOubbins playing more there than Findley. Fullbacks Shivelv and T oak were tireless workers and are good future material. Foley, FOOTBALL TEAM THE ARENA 89 Weger and Boyer played at the halves. Weger, Boyer, Snyder, Riddell and Donk all held end positions in some games. The line through which experienced teams of the Wabash Valley failed to score was the strong point of our team. Stew art at center, Kisner and Marts at guards, Shively, Smder and Simons at tackles made tip the “wall.” Findley, Logan. Patton, A. Albert and Wetzel played in some games. The. work of these men helped develop a team and we are grateful to them. What the team has been is due entirely to Poach Becker. His untiring efforts left the fellows cheered up and we have learned the lesson of “At the end, not that we lost or won, but how we played the game.’ M. L. S., ’20. TO Til K FOOOTBALL TKAM.

Twinkle, twinkle, football star, IIow I wonder where you are: Yesterday the game you play,— In the Hospital today! BASKET BALL TEAM THE ARENA 91 BASKET BALL The basket ball season opened with the coming out of over fifty candidates for the team, each one of whom was anxious to become one of the “Tigers.” The situation placed the coach in a slightly embarrassing position in the matter of picking the teams to give each man a fair chance. Finally eight teams were selected and, with the able assistance of Mr. Kester, “tourna- ments” were staged in the Gym. Each team was named after a well known school. Finally a squad was picked to represent the school, with Boyer as captain. Our manager, Mr. Keith, bad arranged a stiff schedule, booking games with the strongest teams of the Wabash Valley. With only two weeks of practice a game was staged with Kan- sas, the final score being 23 to 5 in favor of Kansas. The Tigers made an excellent show of guarding in the first half of the game, but they “blew” in the second half. Our next game was with Ohrisman. Only one field goal was scored, while Chrisman succeeded in getting 10 points. Palestine came next and the “Egyptians” copped the game. Fp to this time the line-up bad been as follows: Capt. Boyer........................................Center Tolliver-Oorwin ...................................Guards Ileadlev-Perisho ............................... Forwards At the beginning of tin� second Semester rumor had it that Capt. Boyer was over-loaded with school studies; anyway ho re- signed. Bickott, who was ineligible to play the first Semester, was appointed Captain, and right away led his team to victory with Wiley, 23 to 20. Tolliver, back guard, nlaved a fine game. This was the first game in which Risner (C) played, and, con- sidering his “greenness,” he did exceptionally well. Kansas was next for a return game and the “Tigers” cov- ered themselves with glory by sending them home with a 11 to T� defeat. (Let it be recorded here that Kansas did not make one field goal, all 5 points being fouls.) Bickett scored 0 of the 11 points for Paris. Charleston was the next scheduled game and, whether the Tigers were over-confident by their two former victories or whether they just “blew.” is not known; anyway. Charleston took home the “bacon,” 17 to 11. Tti the meantime, Boyer changed his mind about studying too bard and appeared in a suit for the Charleston game and has been a member of the team ever since. As customary the Tigers entered the contest for the Wab- ash alley championship. We drew Korinal FTigh of Terre 92 THE ARENA Haute for the opening game and were eliminated after putting up a game fight. It was Normal who won the Valley cham- pionship. The return game with Charleston came next. It was all ‘‘Paris” until a few seconds of the final whistle and then an- other sad story—Charleston forged ahead. Newman followed and was an easy victory for the “Orange and Black.” The next game was at Ohrisman. Here we saw some classy passing of the hall and it was predicted that Ohris- man would go strong at the tournament. The Tigers were de- feated by a decisive score. We closed the season at home with Carlisle in a well played game, which the Tigers won. The final game of the schedule was at Palestine, which resulted in a victory for the “down- staters.” March 4-5-6 was the district tournament at Shelhyville. Here Paris had hard luck in the draw and was eliminated in the opening game with Sullivan—a team winning fourth place. All told, the Tigers played 13 games ('including the two tournaments.) Of these, four were won and nine lost, making our per cent .308. This is by no means a flattering record, hut taking everything into consideration the season was a success. Next year, if only the players will learn the lesson of ob- serving strict training rules and implicit obedience to the coach’s orders, Paris will have a basket hall team that will make a rec- ord for itself.

Manning was the only experienced man on the squad of candidates who answered the call, a number of promising men were developed who should prove the nucleus for a winning team in the seasons to come. Cold, rainy weather put a crimp in the training ac- tivities of the thin clads. Consequently we suffered a late start. The first meet, was the inter-class struggle, and the final outcome was in doubt, until the last event was finished. The Freshmen, with a four-man entry, composed of Shively, Tol- liver, Rudy and Handy, were the most feared by the Seniors, who were picked to win bv a small margin. The upper class- men, with Manning, Pearman, Heed, Poak and Gill, expected to score heavy in the distance and weights. The Sophomores, with Foley. Corwin and Riddell, looked best in the jumps and dashes. The Juniors, who were not expected to score very heavy, proved the dark horse of the meet and scored at least a third in every event on the program. Led by Boyer, Howard, Bickett, Moyer, Simons, .McGill and Stewart, they fought to the 94 THE ARENA finish, massing a total of 43 points, with the Seniors, Freshmen and Sophomores trailing in the order named. Boyer was indi- vidual point winner, followed by Hanning, Tolliver and Foley. A triangular meet was held at the fair grounds, with Gar- field and Chrisman as the visiting schools. The day was ideal and the track in good shape. The Tiger team, composed of Manning, Boyer, Shively, Tolliver, Foley, Pearman, Doak, Howard, Bickett, Moyer, Reed, MicGill, Rudy and istewart, showed the same old fight that put the Orange and Black in front in the days of St. John, Honnold, Ogle, Tingley, Sims and Stephens. Chrisman couldn’t stand the pace and it soon be- came a duel between Garfield and Paris. The representatives of the Purple weren’t equal to the occasion and the Tigers tri- umphed with a total of 50 1-3 points, Garfield making 38 1-3 and Chrisman 10 1-3. Boyer was individual point winner, taking three first, the 100 dash, 220 dash, and 220 hurdles. Manning was next, winning both the half and the mile. Tol- liver won the 50-yard dash. Doak and Bickett tied for first in the pole vault. Second place was won by Shively in the dis- cus, Howard in the broad jump, Doak in the shot, and Foley and Shively tied for second in the high jump. We scored one point in each event when Pearman placed third in both the half and the mile, Foley in the 50, and Stewart tied in the pole vault. The 440-vard dash was the only event in which we did not place. We did not fare so well at Charleston. The same team was sent over, but the competition and nervous strain were too much for the inexperienced speeders. Hover made our only points, when he placed second in the 220 dash. But for a streak of hard luck “Slim” would have placed in the hurdles. Manning ran a wonderful race in the 880, but set the pace so fast that he couldn’t deliver at the finish. Agnes’ first 440 of that race will long be remembered by the rooters in attendance. Shively in the weights, Howard and Foley in the jumps, Tolliver and Rudy in the dashes, and Bickett in the vault failed by the narrowest, of margins to help boost our total of points. Two men, Manning and Boyer, were sent to Champaign to the State Meet. Neither scored points, but the old fight was never lacking. That is the one essential that a track man must have above all other things if he hopes to succeed. With such a squad to start with next year, the Orange and Black should en- joy the best track season she has had in a half dozen years. Miss Ewing—What is the value of Commercial Corre- spondence ? Mary Dodd—About one credit. HIGH SCHOOL CADETS THE ARENA !) CADETS Although the ('adet ( ompany this year is not as large as in previous years, it is fully as well drilled. Lack of guns ami equipment are probably the main reasons for its decreasing membership, while still another is that no credit is given for this work at the I’niversity. Still there is something in this work that appeals to red-blooded boys, ami as a result we have one lull company, the pride of the High School. We arc proud to say that it is the oldest living organization in school, and the oldest cadet military company in the state, the first one being organized in 1890. Since that time many well drilled com- panies have been graduated, and in 1907 a silver loving cup was won in a competitive drill. The work this year takes up all classes of military training, such as “setting up” exercises, both with and without guns, skirmishes, bayonet drill, and many other movements along the line of modern warfare. We were fortunate at the beginning of the year in having the services of Lieut. John G. Pollard, U. 8. A., who was a great help in organizing the company and teaching the “rookies” who’s who and why. Hut he was called later to teach a class and the burden of work fell on the commissioned officers, Find- ley, Mover and Doak; under their able leadership the company has continued to improve. Military training is excellent for young men and it is to l c hoped that the time is not far distant when every boy in High School will Ik required to take this course. FRANK A.

SENIOR PRIZE STORY IDEALS AND REALITY. “Isn’t it just dreadful to think of our leaving Blue Valley High School and never going there any more? Oh, of course, we’ll go back there to visit, but it won’t seem the same as if we were students,” wailed Janet Owen. ’Twas the last week of High School and oh! how those Senior girls did hate to think of leaving the dear old school, for even if going to school did require a great deal of studying, they certainly had good times. Then, too, like most Seniors, they had the idea that they were an important part of the High School and doubted whether the school could exist without them. A group of five girls who had been chums all through High School were lounging about in the Dicks’ living room, mourning over exams, and bemoaning the inevitable fate of a Senior—to leave High School forever. But, like most girls, they soon fell to talking of other things and gradually the con- versation drifted to the future. That, of course, led to—well, to what most girls’ conversations do lead. “Well,” said Jean Smith, “if I ever got married, T don’t care whether my husband is handsome or ugly, but he must have money, for I certainly will not be a slave for any man, as some girls are right here in Blue Valley.” “Hnipli!” scorned Phyllis Dicks, “I don’t care whether my husband is rich or poor. Of course, I prefer him rich, rich boys are always the nicest, but he must measure up to one stand- ard. He must care a great deal about his personal appearance and be just as ‘spick and span’ as can be; for if there’s any- thing I detest in a boy, it’s for him to be careless about his clothes. IIis suit must always fit and he must wear a hat (I despise a cap), and his ties and socks must always match. Oh, girls, won’t he bo good-looking?” “Well, ves, I suppose he will,” drawled Janet, “but 1 don’t care what other good or bad qualities my husband may have, but he simply must not go about after meals with a tooth- pick in his mouth. If there’s anything I despise, it’s to see a boy like that, and yet so many really nice boys do it.” 102 THE ARENA Geo! whiz,” derided Rosalie Dicks, Phyllis thirteen-year- old sister, who had just bounced in from school and flopped down in a big Morris chair, “can’t you girls ever talk of any- thing else but boys, boys, boys? That’s all you talk of from morning until night.” “Oh, Rosalie !” pleaded Phyllis, “please go over to Janie’s. We want to talk and you bother us so.” “Ilmph!” said Rosalie in a most lordly manner, “I should say not. I consider it my ‘bounden’ duty to stay here and keep you girls from talking too much nonsense.” Wherewith she proceeded—to stay. “Oh, come on girls,” said Dot Lisbon, “let’s just ignore her. Let me tell you of my ideal husband. I never will marry any man who does not shave himself every single morning. I just can’t stand a boy who allows his face to remain unshaven a single day. Their faces always look dirty.” “Besides,” giggled Rosalie, who had stubbornly remained in spite of the girls' evident disgust, “their faces are prickly, ain’t they? Tee! lice! Hee!” “Oh,” screeched Janet in mock horror, “how did you ever find that out? Isn’t it just dreadful to think of a little girl so innocent and inexperienced knowing of such things as that?” “Boo! hoo,” stuttered Martha in mock tears, “nobody’ll listen to me tell alnmt my husband.” “Oh! yes!” shouted the other four in unison and then crooked their little fingers and made wishes, “do tell ns! And then let’s remember ami see how things really turn out.” “Well,” said Mfertha, “my husband must be dark com- plexioned with snappy black eves and curly black hair. I de- spise blondes, for they usually get fat when middle-aged, and I hate a fat man.” “Gracious sakes!” said the incorrigible Rosalie, in a scornful tone and with a toss of her head,” such noble aspira- tions T never heard before! Trgh! Whv, I’m going to l e an old maid and ‘slick’ mv hair straight back and live in a great big stone house on a hill all by myself. Who wants to get mar- ried and live with some Iwesome old man all her life? Fgh! Fgh!” and with this parting thrust she stalked majestically out of the room, f At lea«t «he thought she went majestically, but for some reason the iris fairly ‘doubled up’ with laughter. Perhaps they remembered when they felt like that.) Four venrs later, the same five iris met in Phyllis’ own lit- tle livhi room. All the iris were married now and all hut Janet had settled down in Blue Valiev. THE ARENA 103 They were sitting in a window-seat, and, glancing out, they saw John Meade, Phyllis' husband, a young minister with a scanty salary. They both wore shabby clothes, but John’s were the worst. Phyllis coked out her wardrobe from made-over gar- ments from her plentiful girlhood supply, but .John had no such source. His overcoat was of a style of several years ago and was covered with mud. as he had been making calls in wintry weather. The girls burst into laughter. “A guilty conscience cer- tainly needed no accuser.” Phyllis immediately lotorted, “Oh, I know what you girls are thinking about, but I don’t care what I said four years ago. Johnny’s just as good as anyone and he could have better clothes if the church would raise his salary. Anyway, when T said that, I hadn’t met—Johnny 1” “Well,” said Jean Smith Oliner, trying to avoid further embarrassment for Phyllis, “that’s not as funny as what I did. You remember T said T wouldn’t marry anyone without lots of money and here I’ve married Bobby Burke, who, as you all know, is a young lawyer, with scarcely a ghost of an income. I have to do all my own work, hut I don’t mind that at all.” “But girls!” shouted Dot Melvin, trying to drown the laughter, listen to my story! You know Doctor Tim has to make so many calls in the early morning that he just can’t shave regularly. And you remember what I said ? TTa! ha! that surely is funny.” “Yes. hut girls,” shrieked Martha, “my husband is a plump blonde and T suppose he'll he fat and puffy when he’s middle-aged. But I won’t mind.” she spoke seriously now, “for he’ll always ! e my Jack.” Just then the door opened and in hounded James Martin, a big jovial Westerner, the husband of Janet. And of all things! he had a toothpick in his mouth! But he was not the only arrival. Close at his heels came Bosalie. now seventeen. “Phyllis, dear, you’ll lend me that darling pink georgette blouse you made, won’t you ? William is coining down to take me to Jane’s fudge-party tonight and T simply haven’t anything to wear.” “Well, Rosalie Dicks, “shouted Phvllis, “T thought you were going to he an old maid, and Slick’ your hair straight hack, and live in a great big stone house on n hill all by your- self. This is Friday and you’ve had three dates already. Tt certainly looks like you’ll he an old maid. But Rosalie just giggled and ran upstairs to capture the blouse. AMY ORFFXFTFLD. ’ 20. 104 THE ARENA JUNIOR PRIZE STORY THE EONGKX ECK.EKS OF KENTUCKY. A TRUE STORY. There was about ten years ago and still is. I suppose, a family in Kentucky named Longknecker. It was not an un- usual family as to size, as families go in Kentucky, but the mem- bers of the family were distinguished from most other Ken- tucky families because of one fact—they would not join the Tobacco Growers’ Association. This was a combination of all the influential tobacco growers of Kentucky, who were try- ing to raise the price of tobacco. John Longknecker, as T knew him. was the kind of man who would not join a dishonest undertaking, lie was one of the most honest men I have ever known, ami one of the bravest. The neighbors called, argued, pleaded, and finally threatened, but it was of no avail. The T.ongkneckers were as hard and unyielding as flint. Aur. Longknecker and his grown sons were attacked one night on a lonely road, but they succeeded in beating off their ambushers. For about two weeks all was quiet and the Longkneekers were beginning to think that the trouble was over. Consequently they began to relax the precaution which they were accustomed to take, but they kept their shutters barred at night. Another week passed peacefully. One evening as they were sitting together in the living room. Mir. and Afrs. Long- knecker and their daughter (the sons were away), one of them espied a line of horsemen riding through the gloom, up one ide of a hill and down again out of sight, nearly a quarter of a mile away. They knew that if they turned in at the gate ♦hey were coming to the house. They all went upstairs to the front room, from which they could see out over the fields of tobacco to the road. Sure enough, there was a group of horsemen coming up the road toward the house. Bv this time thev considered evervbodv an enemy until lie was proven otherwise. Thev got down their guns from a rack on the wall and stationed themselves at vantage points at the windows (these were narrow slits through the shutters) and waited. Thev did not have long to wait. The strangers rode up to the gate. Between the house and the ate was a lawn about fiftv yards in width. Across this space thev he wan to onflow “TTello strangers. What do von want?” “We want you.” “Well, here T am. What do von want to «av to me?” “We want you to ioin the Tohaceo Growers’ Association.” THE ARENA 105 “I’ve already said I wouldn’t join it under any circum- stances.” “Either you will, or we’ll burn down your house.” “You dirty skunks, you haven't nerve enough to burn down anything!” “All right, we'll show you ! Come on, men.” The men started across the lawn, when “Bang” a gu.i sounded from the window where Mr. Longknecker was en- sconced. The figure in the lead swayed and fell off his horse, the frightened animal bolting. This was the signal for the opening of a bombardment on the house, and from the house upon the assailants. The fight then settled down to a steady siege. The horse- men dismounted and sought such cover as they could find. Inside the house Mr. Longknecker and his daughter fired, while Mrs. Longknecker and an old negro servant loaded the guns. The fight must have lasted three hours, and there were broad red welts across the hands of the besieged whore the hot gun barrels had burned. At the end of that time the assail- ants moved off. MV. Longknecker at the window counted tie figures. When they came they numbered sixteen and when they left there were seven empty saddles. They bore their dead and wounded away with them. When the smoke had cleared away and the Longkneekers could take stock of themselves, they found that no one in the house was killed and no one severely wounded. Mr. Long- kneeker had a bullet in his left shoulder and his right cheek had been grazed slightly. The old negro servant had been wounded in the right arm. They were amazed the next morn- ing to see the bullet holes in the shutters. The Longkneekers had been firing through narrow slits in the shutters; their assailants had been about fifty yards away and yet they bad sent many bullets through the loop holes. As to Mr. Long- knocker’s marksmanship, a little incident that T saw myself some time after proves that. TBc and T were walking across one of his cultivated fields, when a sign on a fence eighty yards away (T paced it afterwards') caught my eve. “T told lnv son not to put up that sign.” said Mr. Long- kneeker and he shot his rifle from the liip. The sign came fluttering down. Just a little more and the storv is done. There were sev- eral quiet funerals in the neighborhood and the old Doctor had quite a few wounds to dress. The Longkneekers could hardlv go anvwhere without meeting n neighbor limping, or one with u bandaged head, or with his arm in a sling. At such times 106 THE ARENA they always greeted the neighbor in question cheerfully and passed on their way, while the neighbor would blush and cast down his eyes. But the neighborhood had a new respect for the Long- kneckers, and they were never asked to join the Tobacco Grow- ers’ Association again. OWEN JONES ALBERT, 1—15—20.

This being the case, we hope that our patrons, espec- ially the student laxly, will feel it their duty to support those who have aided us. We Shall Not Forget— The many past courtesies and kind- nesses on the part of students, teach- ers, friends and Alumni of Paris High School extended to us during our school connection, and we shall strive con- tinually to keep in close touch with the school and all her activities. “Orange and Black” will mean just as much to us in our business relations as now.

THE ARENA 135 Stafford Engravings and Stafford Service Our conception of service to the schools we work with includes much more than merely giving the highest quality of engravings that it is possible to produce. We always take a keen interest in both the finan- cial and the artistic success of every Annual for which we are privileged to prepare the engrav- ings. It was this interest that prompted us in the prep- aration and publication of the Stafford hand- book, “Engravings for College and School Pub- lications” which we furnish, free of charge, to the Annuals for which we work. The success of this book and the fact that we were the origina- tors of this method of co-operation, is to us a source of considerable pride. The publishers of this Annual will tell you that in the planning, financing and preparation of their book, this Stafford handbook was a verita- ble gold mine of helpful ideas and suggestions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the direct and individual co-operation you may need, and the benefit of our nearly thirty years specializa- tion in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appreciate this idea of service.
