SENIOR STALLS I didn’t have time. I didn’t get the assignment. I was absent yesterday. I don’t remember. I forgot to study that. I studied the wrong chapter. I lost my Iwok. The lesson was too long. I didn’t get that far. I know, but 1 can’t explain it. I didn’t get your question. Some one stole my book. My book was in my locker, but I can’t work the combination. I studied the chapter before. 1 studied the next chapter. I can’t write because of my sore finger. Thirty-four CLASS OK ’24-PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Only seven-thirty o’clock! Dinner over, my tasks for the day all completed, a long evening before me with nothing definite to do. I lay curled up in a chair pondering the dreary prospect when I was startled by the ringing of the telephone bell. You may guess how gladly I accept- ed an invitation to go to a movie, neither knowing nor caring what the picture might be, thinking only of being relieved from an unpleasant situation. Upon arrival at the theatre I felt a little chagrined upon finding that the picture to be shown was “School Days.” I had given no thought to what the picture would be, yet I felt that surely this one would be of little interest and I was just making up my mind that, after all, this eve- ning was to be one of disappointment and was settling back in my seat to make the best of it, when, behold, what is that? I rubbed my eyes and looked once again. Yes, that is the Redmon school building and those two little boys teetering look just like Dale Cotterman and Merle Llewellyn, and those little girls playing in the sand pile surely do look like Minnie Bovill, Marcella Jones, Ethel Haug, Louise Perkins, and Leona Cassady; and surely that is Miss Martha Van Sellar supervising the play. But how could that be? Oh yes! I was so surprised at these resemblances that I forgot to read the explanation, “Paris Grade Schools in 1912 and ’13. This makes it very plain and no wonder those little children look so familiar. Next is shown the Vance School and there I see Florence Link, Mar- ion McCalmont, Josephine and Ida May Tesst waiting turns at the swing, with Miss Alice Brown near by. In the Mayo school picture I see Helen McCaulley, Louise Stephens and El Nora Holt walking about the school grounds with Miss Ewing. Lester Mullins, Arthur Reese, Thad F'oley are playing leap frog, while Miss Pauline Huston with Martha Latshaw and Lois Roberts are watching a bird flying in and out among the shrubbery at the Tanner school. The children of the Sandford school are having a merry time playing “Farmer in the Dell.” and I see Lawrence Dugan, Hazel DeHaven, Gladys1 Murphy, and Anna Mae Connery all inside the circle. Miss Roberts seems to be enjoying the game as much as are the children At the end of the first part I find myself leaning forward in my seat, every nerve tense with interest, wondering what the next will reveal Here it is! “High School Days, 1920-24.” My! what a bunch of boys and girls assembled in front of the high school building, and how easy to pick out my fellow classmen, for at that time we were freshmen, and how “green” they do look in the picture of our early high school days! A few pictures and what a change! No longer in awe of the upper classmen, I see this class asserting itself; for no class with such a splen- did foundation as it had built up in the grades, with such bright, eager, energetic pupils could long be kept in the background. The honor stu- Thir!,v-rtvf THE ARENA dents are shown, and as I see the pictures of these pupils for the differ- ent years, with what pride do I note the members of my class! Again, what a good time are the members of this class, together with one of the faculty, having as they eat a picnic supper on a boat. So vividly does the picture bring to mind the happenings of the past that I can almost hear the patter of the raindrops and the lapping of the waves. And now a masquerade party is in full swing. Oh. yes, those were the Sophomore days in the old “Gymn.” A pause! Something is wrong! The screen is a blank! I wonder what will be shown next. “1922 and 1923!” What a beautiful picture! Someone behind me says, “Surely this is a picture slipped in through mistake.” But no, it is the new gymnasium converted into a bower of beauty by the Juniors as they honor the Seniors with a banquet. And now comes 1923 and 1924, the last year of our High School days. As I see the happenings of this school year pictured, many are my emo- tions; but pride, joy, and happiness predominate when I see the closing scenes of this part, one hundred and thirty boys and girls assembled to have the honors of graduation bestowed upon them. On arriving home I again curled up in the big chair to ponder over the pictures seen on the screen. So many incidents of school life that had been tucked away and forgotten came bobbing up before my mind’s eye. And then I fell to thinking what the future might hold for mem- bers of our class. Wishing to shut out everything else, I closed my eyes. Very dimly at; first, but gradually more plainly, a picture arose before me,—a picture of a large white house. Why. it is the capitol building at Washington! A portly gentleman coming down the steps is hailed as “Our new senator from Illinois, Calvin B. Stuart,” by a group of men discussing agricultural problems, among whom are William Colwell, Lee Strohl, and Paul McMullen. In “one of the beautiful homes of Wash- ington” Miriam Brewer is entertaining, and I recognize among her guests A.nna Mary Egan, Dorothy Click, Stella Morris, Louise Huffman, and Mary Watson, all teachers on a vacation trip. I see a neat name plate on a door in a good business block bearing the names “Drs. Murphy and Harrison,” also an attractive sign, “Bovill Beauty Parlor.” Well, well, there are Elgie Randleman, Genevieve Ches- rown, and Imogene See all busy in their special departments. Helen Wright and Frances Hooper are trying their hair in the latest Parisian style, while Irene Bell is seemingly inclined toward the purely Ameri- can. Miss Bovill herself is engaged with Famie Hardy, giving her a per- manent friz. Mary KaufTman and June Greenwalt are very seriously at work at the manicure tables with Ted McGowan and Allen McMullen as customers. As Alice Mattingly deftly applies her art I hear her laugh- ingly say. “Why, Kathryn Mitchell Zedrick! You are a regular walking newspaper. I am so glad to hear that Ruth Yonce and Luella Day have attained such splendid positions as teachers in a large commercial school, fContinued on page 42) Thirl y- bt THE AUDITORIUM Thirty-sovon THE ARENA THE SENIOR WILL Know all men by these presents: That we. The Senior Class of the Paris, Illinois, High School, of the year 1924, being of reasonably sound mind, and of memory fit for disposing; and realizing full well our own short comings and limitations, and that we are soon to quit these prem- ises and fly to others we know not of, and having in mind the objects of our bounty and that the cares and burdens, the joys and delights of Paris High School will soon be borne by others, and having in mind their need of worldly goods, counsel, and guidance, we do hereby make, pub- lish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. Item 1.—To the Juniors, we give the place we have occupied for the past year, the fourth and big room of our house, with the door opening out in front into the outside world where they can more perfectly see the landscape with its hills to climb and valleys to cross, and hope they will so use their time, that the pitfalls of the big outdoors may be located and marked with their minds' eye, that none may fall therein and that all may succeed. YVe give them hope, faith, and confidence, and prom- ise them to do our best to leave a well marked trail for their upward climb. Item 2.—To the Sophomores, with their increasing confidence, we give the opportunity for displaying their ability to use the knowledge gained in the trials of the first year; granting unto them a full measure of confidence and a small pinch of ego, and promising them that there are yet a few worlds to conquer. Item 3.—To the Freshmen, we give and bequeath a room in our house, the second of the four, and advise them that on their ability to perfectly care for and labor in this room will depend their enjoyment of pleasure in the occupancy of all the others. Item 4. I, Dale Cotterman, bequeath with deepest regret, my great fame and athletic ability to Lloyd Baber, who is striving to be my equal. Item 5.—I, Harriet Francis, bequeath my chattering tongue to Wil- liam Henry. Item 6.—I. Russel Asher, bequeath my position as school comedian to Bob Sanders. Item 7.—I, Kathryn Mitchell, give my little leather bound book “How to Bcome a Movie Star,” to Clotile Forcum. Item 8.—I. Helen Wright, bequeath my smile to Neoma Weston. Item 9.—I. Imogene See, give my monopoly on the excessive use of cos- metics to Mae Harpring. Item 10.—I, Thad Foley, leave all my personal correspondence to my private secretaries, “Chuck” Shaw and Walter Brewer. Item 11.—I, Stella Morris, leave all of my personal ability of saying the wrong thing at the right time to Jane Davis. Item 12—I, Ted McGowan, leave my heaviest burden to John Mc- Culloch. Thirl y-elght 19 2 4 Item 13.—I, Louise Perkins, bequeath my low, tantalizing voice in Virgil to Helen Watson. Item 14.—I, Paul McMullen, leave nothing undisturbed by my hands. Item 15.—I, Mary Watson, bequeath my never vacant place at the mirror to Mary Elizabeth Thomas. Item 16.—I, Florence Link, bequeath all of my notes to Mr. Newgent. Item 17.—I, “Bob” Davis, divide equally between Elbon White and Leo Wade my genius in football. Item 18.—I, Pauline Beatty, bequeath my A plus grades which have won me much honor and satisfaction to Genevieve Ross. Item 19. I, William Colwell, bequeath my tact with all members of the faculty to Owen Sunkel: I am trusting that he will treat this pre- sentation with the greatest of care. Item 20.—I, John Adams, bequeath and entrust my dearest posses- sion, Mary McKnight, to Billy Link for safe keeping. Item 21.—I, Allen McMullen, bequeath the “seat of honor” in the office, which I have grown to dearly cherish, to Max Fulton. Item 22.—I, Helen Crum, bequeath my saxaphone to Billy Baum, with which he is requested to supply the Thursday morning assembly with jazz. Item 23.—1, Louise Arthur, bequeath my Ford to Kitty Levings that she may be able to arrive at the portals of Paris High School at 8:25. Item 24.—I, Lawrence Dugan, leave all later editions of Whiz Bang” to “Speed” McGowan. Now, having disposed of all our High School goods and desiring that complete and perfect execution be made of these, our said desires, and having with our mental favor taken a panoramic view of all the worldly fixtures of our beloved school, we have chosen as the Executrix of this, our last will, one whom we have found through years of experience to be entitled to full, complete, and perfect trust; and one whom some other should long since have promised to love, honor, and obey; and one whom the beneficiaries of our will may do well to emulate and follow, one Carolyn Wenz, to so act as our Executrix without bond; we having im- plicit confidence in her ability and honesty to faithfully guide our bene- ficiaries and to fully and strictly carry out all of the provisions of this, our will. In witness whereof: We hereunto set both our hands and the seals in this year of our greatest High School Happiness, the year of 1924. Senior Class, Paris High School, 1924. Miriam M. Brewer, ’24.

THE ARENA THE JUNIOR BANQUET By far the most brilliant social event of the 1922-23 school year was the elegant banquet, with which the Junior class honored the 1923 grad- uating class. After weeks of preparation, our new gym was converted into a real fairyland. The colors of the two classes were skillfully combined both in the gym decorations and menu. On the evening of May 25, at the appointed hour, some three hundred guests took their places at the attractively arranged tables, and follow- ing the invocation of Reverend A. S. Chapman, did full justice to the de- licious five course dinner served by the ladies of the Baptist church. After the feast the guests listened to an interesting program. Fol- lowing this part of the entertainment the tables were pushed back, and the crowd danced until the wee, small hours of morning. PROGRAM Toastmaster, Calvin Stuart Our Guests .............

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE (Continued) and I believe Katherine Baker will make good in the commercial work too. I must tell you, Alice, of the large W and W store of Waller and Weston. Among the clerks, I saw Garnet and Elsie Collier and Helen Crum. John Adams is manager and he keeps Marion McCalmont very busy taking dictation. Lelia McCallister, Helen Spung, and Lillie Parsely are conducting a vaudeville theatre and are doing well. The night I was there Kenneth Jenks and Harriett Frances sang several numbers that were well received by the audience. They really are becoming quite popu- lar throughout the country. Anna Mae Connery and Christine Zimmerly are heads in a large ready-to-wear store. Ethel Haug who proved her- self to be such an efficient bookkeeper has, since her marriage, gone to California. She wrote to one of the girls that Hazel Fletcher and Lena Ulrich live in the same block with her in a double house, having married brothers. Here is something I will leave for all of you girls. It is Jose- phine Cockroft’s latest book and it certainly is splendid. You remember how she always could write in the good old school days. For a while all was a blank and then I seemed to be in a court room. Merle Llewellyn is making a strong plea before Judge Asher. Among the jurors are Oliver Conklin. Lawrence Dugan, and Robert Davis. As this picture fades away another comes slowly before me. It is dear old Paris High. My, how good it is to see it again! Who is that in the office window? It is the new superintendent,—well, Arnold Moss! So he is following in his brother’s footsteps. I hope he will be as success- ful. In the cooking room Christine Watson is director, and at the other end of the hall is Pauline Beatty instructing the students in sewing. A peep into the gymnasium discloses El Nora Holt as physical training teacher, and from the size of the class, she must be a popular one. Looking through the window I see coming out of the church a bride and groom and as they draw nearer I see that it is Clarence Fuqua and Madge Chrisman. I never would have thought they would have stayed single all these ten years. “Yes? what is it? Surely I have not been sleeping? Then the fu- ture of my classmates as I have seen it is only a dream?

As the superintendents always say at the grade commencement, ‘‘We are the largest, most bril- liant, most talented class that ever entered high school,” and as our in- structors later found out—the meanest. Kind of the superintendent not to mention this particular trait. As Freshmen we had our class party where drop-the-handkerchief was the main diversion of the evening, and a most enjoyable time was had by all.” As Sophomores we were well represented in all the activities of the school, many of our members receiv- ing both oratorical and athletic honors. As Juniors, the climax of our activities, the class play and the banquet, are yet to come and we are looking forward to a successful accomplishment of these tasks. —Mary Elizabeth Crabtree, '25.

Our class realized the truth of this and took courage when it entered Paris High the largest that ever entered its noble portals. We settled down to the task of making our names shine forth in the history of Paris High. Our members soon entered the Alethenai and Colementian literary clubs and received valu- able knowledge therein Two of our girls gained entrance into the “Wran- glers,” a debating club. We had many members in the “Ag” club and General Chorus. We had a successful picnic at the park near the end of our year as “freshies.” Now as sophomores we have had a party at the school gymnasium, and have again taken places in the clubs and other organizations. Looking toward the future, we have high aims for the third and fourth years of our time to be spent in dear old Paris High. Then here’s to the class of ”26—to the fulfillment of its highest aims and its fondest dreams. —Esther Hillery, '26. Fifty ERE5HMEN John McCulloch President Harold Shew Yrice-Pres.

From the minute we entered the building and started work in earnest we have realized the numerous advantages of a lil eral education. On September 3, our members were increased by the entrance into Paris High of seventy-two additional Freshmen. These came not only from Mayo, but from rural schools throughout the county. Our Freshman year has passed almost uneventfully and has not been marred by any unpleasant occurrences. We are looking forward to a successful, and even brilliant career during our remaining years in old P. H. S., and with Excelsior” as our motto, we will endeavor to be an example to future classes. —P. Young, ’27. MID-YEAR FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY January 20, 1922, about eighty new students entered the eighth grade at Mayo School. During the first half-year there, one of our class, Carl McGowan, brought us honor by winning the County Spelling Con- test. Our Class put new men on the track and basket ball teams, and a number of our students were in the winning chorus that year. The fol- lowing year John Cusick won the County Oratorical Contest. While at Mayo we gave several plays and entertainments and as a farewell put on the play, Aaron Boggs, Freshman.” In January, 1924, nearly every one of our number entered Paris High. Thirty of us had been on the honor roll at Mayo. There is mate- rial in our class for both athletic and debating teams, for the choruses, and all other activities in the school. We hope to make a record here unparalleled by any other class in the school. —Danley Slaughter, '28. FRESH 1M N 1923-24 HONOR ROLL First Second Third Quarter Quarter Quarter 1. Dean, Dorothy 91 90 2.

POST GRADUATES Eight students of the 1923 graduating class returned to Paris High School this September in order to fill their requirements for the various colleges they intend to enter next fall. The one taking the largest number of subjects, and the only member of the 1924-25 Good Scholarship Legion among us, is Harry Crede, who is taking Chemistry, Physics, Stenography and Advanced Mathematics. Next is Edward Shaw who is studying Bookkeeping, Advanced Mathe- matics, and Physics; Beulah Gill, Physics, Advanced Algebra, Sten- oggraphy and Sociology; Lydia Wieder, Stenograhy and French; George Coady, Stenography; Dorothy McCulloch and Martha Leitzel, Sten- ography; and Charles Whalen, Latin. Next year you will find a large majority of these students registered at the University of Illinois. Among these will be Charles Whalen for Pre-Medical course, Harry Crede and Edward Shaw for Commerce, and Dorothy McCulloch for Library Science. Beaulah Gill will be registered in DePauw University at Greencastle, Indiana for Music, and Lydia Wied- er in James Millikin University at Decatur, also to study Music. This year Paris High School has had the largest Post-Graduate class of any previous year, and we hope others will follow the example we have set. LYDIA WIEDER '23. Fifty IIvo LITERARY FIf y nev« n THE ARENA A DEFENDER OF THE SCHOOL SENIOR PRIZE STORY It was almost midnight, and the High School building was dark and silent. In the long dusky corridors nothing could be heard except the oc- casional squeak of a mouse. The halls and classrooms, with their orderly rows of chairs and desks, presented a great contrast to their daytime ap- pearance of bustle and commotion. All seemed very peaceful indeed, but a momentous event was in the air. The appointed night had arrived for the quarterly meeting of the books. Not the faculty, nor the students, but the BOOKS were to meet that night for an hour in the moonlit as- sembly room, and discuss questions of importance to them. As the hands of the Assembly clock neared twelve, a gentle rustling became audible from the desks of the teachers, from the shelves in the library, and from all the lockers left open by careless owners; and soon the runaway books came sliding and tumbling, banging and fluttering into the Assembly. They perched upon the desks and began whispering loudly to each other, with great rustling of leaves and slamming of cov- ers, while the speakers of the evening mounted upon the platform and took up positions at the large desk. There were three speakers—a prim little Rhetoric, who seemed extremely nervous, and cleared her throat frequently; a very solemn-looking Stone-Millis Geometry, with a frown upon his brow; and last, but not least, a huge Webster’s Unabridged Dic- tionary who beamed upon the audience with the greatest benevolence and good humor. The chairman who was to introduce the speakers was a bat- tered old Latin Grammer, apparently a survivor of better days. He yawned constantly, and seemed in perpetual danger of falling asleep. The Rhetoric was to speak first, and having been introduced by the Latin Grammar (who immediately proceeded to fall into uneasy slumber), she arose, bowed profoundly, and began, in a thin, precise voice, “Ladies and gentlemen: I am very glad to be with you tonight, and I regret that I have nothing inspiring to say to you. On the contrary, I wish to protest against the awful language used in this institution of learning. Why, some of the students know about as much about the English language as an Eskimo. 1 hear them talking slang in the halls every day until my ears ache. It is frightful to hear one’s mother tongue misused in that manner. Nor is that the worst, for the other day, I actually heard a boy say ‘ain’t’.” (At this awful word, her voice dropped to a whisper.) “This awful situation is driving me insane, and if something is not suggested to remedy these conditions, I shall resign!” At this point she was over- come by her emotions, and being totally unable to continue, she was obliged to sit down. The chairman was snoring loudly by this time, and conjugating a Latin verb in his sleep, but on being nudged by the Dictionary, he awoke hastily, and introduced Geometry. The latter began his speech with great ceremony, bowing to the chair- man. speakers, and audience, until he almost lost his balance. “Mr. Chair- Flfty-oltfht man, fellow-speakers, ladies and gentlemen ' he proclaimed; “I am in total sympathy with the sentiments uttered by the young lady whom we have just heard, and I must add a few remarks in the same spirit. The recitations I have been hearing in the classroom are perfectly impossible. They’re enough to square a circle. Only yesterday a young prodigy gave this definition, “The circumference of a circle is the part, which if taken away, would leave nothing and a young lady stated that an equilateral triangle is a three sided quadrilateral with three right angles! My friend, something must be done. I have concluded that the study of Geometry can have no place in this school, unless the students are compelled to study it properly. I appeal to you all, as co-workers, to initiate some measure of reform.” As he sat down, glowering fiercely, the audience was talking in low tones and some were even calling out, “That’s right!” “I agree!” “Let’s resign!” The Latin Grammer was dozing again, but he was muttering “frater Dumnorigi” under his breath The fat Dictionary, evidently concluding that it was time for him to take matters into his own hands, arose ponderously, and began speaking in a deep jolly voice that awoke the Latin Grammar and quieted the chat- ter of the audience. “Now, now,” he said soothingly, “there’s no cause for excitement. You are raising a great fuss about nothing at all. I have been in this school longer than most of you, and I’m qualified to know what I'm talking about; because from my place near one of these Assem- bly windows, I look out over the room every day and watch everybody at their study. I will admit that there are a few students who derive ma- licious pleasure from tormenting their neighbors and making general nuisances of themselves. Rut, on the other hand, there are a multitude who take their school work in earnest. I have watched them struggle with algebra problems, translations, and other studies with great perseverance, and 1 have seen the looks of triumph that flashed across their faces as they solved their difficulties.” “Ladies and gentlemen.” he declared impressively, “you have been entirely too hasty. Don’t lose your temper over a few mistakes. Re- member that the best of men sometimes blunder. The boys and girls of this school probably do not know all the geometry theorems by heart, word for word, and 1 have no doubt that they sometimes do mutilate the King’s English until he wouldn’t know it himself; but what of that? These stu- dents are doing their best, and although they err now and then, the fact remains that they are learning to think for themselves, which is the real aim of education. You folks have been remembering their mistakes and forgetting their efforts and accomplishments. I think that if you’ll all go back to your places and get a good night’s rest, you’ll see things in their true proportions in the morning. The meeting is now dismissed.” The discontented books looked crestfallen, and had no more remarks to make, so the meeting disbanded. As the late grumblers trooped back to their shelves, they concluded that the Dictionary was right, and resolved to be more broad-minded in the future. —Josephine Cockcroft, ’24. Fifty-nine THE ARENA THE FRENCH SPIRIT JUNIOR PRIZE STORY “Jacques,” said Jean Le Marr, as the two young French peasants gazed sadly out of the tiny window of their small cottage, “let’s not re- mind anybody that this is our birthday.” “Right you are, Jacques,” answered Jean. “No celebration in these war times.” “Well, anyway, we are too old to need a celebration. After people are sixteen they don’t want cakes with candles,” returned Jacques grandly. The whispered conversation was interrupted by a restless movement from the bed where Mrs. LeMarr lay ill. “Do you want something, Mother?” asked Jean, bending anxiously over her. “No. dear. I was just dreaming,” she said slowly. Then, in a lower tone, “I dreamed that your daddy had come back.” “Oh, Mother, I know he will. Don’t worry so, but try to be well by the time he comes I know he will come.” As she spoke these reassuring words she hoped and prayed that they might prove true. She went into the next room to make the preparations for the meager evening meal. As she started to do so, Joan, her little four year-old sister, jumped up from the corner of the room where she had been playing with her most precious possession, her only doll, dear to the heart of the little girl. She proudly called it Columbia, because an Amer- ican soldier had given it to her. It was a very cheap one, but no amount of money could have tempted her to give it up. “When will Daddy come, Jean?” she said as she stopped at her side. “I don’t know, dear, but it will be soon, I hope,” was the response, “do tell Jacques to come and do his work, and you try to cheer Mother.” Monsieur LeMarr, their adored father, had been fighting with the troops in Verdun when it was besieged by the Germans, and he had not been heard from since. The Great World War had been going on now for some time and the outcome was dubious. Nevertheless this brave little French family continued to “carry on.” A week later the LeMarrs were forced to take refuge somewhere else as the advancing swarm of Huns approached Verdun. A handful of troops bravely defended the small hurriedly constructed fortress where many found refuge from the approaching host. It was not a fortress of beauty or great strength, but what the fortress lacked, the men and boys supplied in brave opposition. Jacques, as might be expected, did the work of a man in this defense but the efforts of all were fruitless. Gradually they weakened, and at last they saw that unless they received reinforcements they were lost. The commander called a meeting and briefly presented his case. Some- one must ride to the nearest troops, which were several miles away, for they could not hold out against the furious attacks of the enemy much sixty 19 2 4 longer. Jacques promptly offered his services for the dangerous task. He was to ride the Captain’s magnificent black horse, the pride of the regi- ment. How proud he felt at his first important undertaking! If only his father knew, how proud he would be! He didn’t realize the grave “danger of slipping through the enemy’s outpost. Just as Jean was returning from the trenches where she had taken food to the soldiers there was a terrific explosion. “The Front Line Trenches have been bombed!” was the cry. The wounded were hastily brought in and Jacques was found to be among them, too badly wounded to go to the army that night for aid. Who should carry the message? Every man was needed to defend the fortress. Jean spoke to the Captain and said she was not afraid to go in Jacques’ place. After much delibera- tion he gave his consent. She rode past the enemy’s outposts in safety, and increased the horse’s speed, when she saw a stretch of clear road ahead. They covered a few miles at this rapid pace. They were near a branch of the river when suddenly a sharp command rang out in the night, “Halt!” Her heart almost stopped beating. She spurred the horse and plunged on. It reared at the bank but with a good bit of urging leaped into the black, whirling flood. The waters surged angrily about them but the brave horse never faltered, and at last gained the opposite shore. “Did you ever see the like of such daring?” questioned one of the soldiers who had followed her. “I wouldn’t have done that myself,” said another. Look, they have gained the shore. I couldn’t bear to kill him after such a gallant struggle,” said the first. “O, Captain, you are splendid,” she said as she patted the horse’s heaving sides and waited for him to rest before going on. A few miles farther and near the American camp came another com- mand to halt. This time she could discern the khaki uniform of an American soldier. “I have a message for the commander,” she said; “let me see him at once. It is very important.” The soldier led her to the camp and pre- sented her to the Captain. She told him the circumstances, and he as- sured her they would go to the rescue at day break the next morning. He praised her for her bravery and said, “It’s just such spirit as yours that will win the war, and God willing, we are going to do that.” Recalling her name he stopped and said, “Just wait a minute,” and disappeared. He returned, followed by a French soldier. “Oh, Daddy!” shrieked Jean, as she saw him. Ilis face lighted up with joy as he beheld his daughter running towards him. He had been wounded and left for dead, had been found by an Amer ican soldier and taken to a hospital. He had now just recovered. Three years later the LeMarrs were gathered in a pretty living room in their new home. The dreadful war was over. Jacques and his father had both been decorated for bravery. “Just think where we all might be now if it hadn’t been for Jean,” said the father proudly. —Marian Rambo, ’25. Sixty-onc THE ARENA TIIE SILHOUETTE LADY SOPHOMORE PRIZE STORY “No. my clear, art has ruined my life already and I certainly won’t have it ruining yours. While your father was the dearest, handsomest thing in the world. I still can’t reconcile myself to the fact that my father’s house is closed to me and mine as firmly today as the day he learned of our marriage. No, my dear. I’ve made one mistake, and I don’t inten- tionally mean to make another.’’ “But----Mother.” “No—-buts about it; I believe you would make a good nurse. There’s a Hospital called Roselawn that might be a good place.” Thus it was that Phyllis Kennedy came to give up her artistic aspira- tions for a more common-place but dependable profession, and found her- self far away from the place she had called home, standing before a gate that announced to the world in general that this was the entrance to the Roselawn Hospital. One little would have thought that the girl gazing at the large grey stone building was doing anything more than standing before her gate of dreams from which a path led to several years’ nurse’s training. But underneath the tweed coat a fierce resentment burned toward this grand- father. whose name even was unknown, who had caused the necessity for this type of work. Phyllis pictured him in different ways, and finally de- cided that he must be a cross between the King of the Golden River and Ichabod Crane. Then with a firmness that she had probably inherited from this same grandfather she pushed at the gate and stood on the very threshhold of her future home. During the following months the young internes all took turns at flirting with this new probationer, but were systematically squelched, and soon their romantic overtures were supplanted by friendly ones. She had become almost resigned to the work which fate in the shape of her grandfather had thrust upon her, but her artistic soul still sought outlet. So it was not surprising that the record sheets which were turned in by Miss Kennedy were covered on the backs with clever little drawings, and that the children’s ward was delighted by the paper dolls, soldiers, animals, and silhouettes which emerged as if by magic from under the deft fingers and scissors of the Silhouette Lady, as she came to be known. However, deft fingers may make other things than pictures, and pen and brush may be supplemented by gauze and cotton, and so Phyllis soon became a most dependable little nurse. So dependable was she that at the completion of her course of train- ing she was assigned a case on Riverside Drive. An old man, all alone in the world apparently, whose name was quite a power in high financial circles became ill, and although the attendant physician assured him that it was only nerves and a grouch, Mr. Whitney insisted upon a nurse. Dr. Sixty-two 19 2 4 Moyer who had once been an interne at Roselawn sent there for a newly graduated nurse to amuse the old man. Riding toward the city in the extremely luxurious limousine that had been sent for her. Phyllis almost forgot her strict uniform and business- like grip in the novelty of the situation. However, she was brought back to her grouch at this grandfather when the car rolled grandly up before a large house. But dismissing the thought that her grandfather probably lived in an estate like this, she tripped lightly up the steps. A night-light cast many shadows in the large sick room when Phyllis entered for her first glimpse of the patient. In a large massively carved bed, which would have delighted the soul of a connoisseur, lay a wizened little old man who looked out of place in the midst of these gorgeous sur- roundings. Looking at him. she realized the wisdom of her instructions to cheer him up if possible, and above all to be human. The old gentleman and his nurse got along famously together. What with frequent chess and checkers and western stories the time passed rapidly by. However, one rainy day, despite the cheery little fire and the inevitable books, she was at her wit’s end how to amuse Mr. Whitney who was as capricious as a child. After several unsuccessful attempts she brought forth her old stand-by. a pad and pencil. Small sketches of the collie, the butler, Dr. Moyer, and others soon lulled him to sleep. After that drawing was a part of the day’s routine. One night while he was asleep. Phyllis who was gazing absently at a small sketch from memory of her mother, was called to the phone; so hastily dropping the sketch she hurriedly left the room. Returning from a conversation with one of her nurse friends she was greatly surprised to find the old gentle- man sitting up in bed gazing with excitement at the sketch of her mother. His voice trembled with eagerness. “Miss Kennedy,” he said, holding the picture toward her, “who is this woman?” Phyllis smiled wistfully. “It’s my mother, sir. We’ve been estranged ever since she made me take nurse’s training, and— “Never mind. ” he cried, “to think—after all these years—and I swore that she or her children should never enter this house-” A glimmer of light broke over her. “Then you are------” “Her father----” “And my grandfather—Oh, I thought I would hate you, but I don’t.” Hours later Tyo San tiptoeing into the room found to his consterna- tion the demure little nurse on the floor by the bed fast asleep with traces of tears on her cheeks. Mr. Whitney with his one free hand motioned him out of the room. Phyllis again stood before a grate, but this time waiting for the ele- vator. Beside her stood a little old man and a woman whose youthful face belied the gray of her hair. The elevator boy grinned as he overheard these words as he shot the machine to the floor of the Metropolitan Art Studio, “Oh, granddaddy and Mums, what if I had been too stubborn to take nurse’s training? Then I shouldn’t have met grandfather and had a chance to be a real Silhouette Lady.” - -Betty Lou Hunter. ’27.

Short days ago the Colomentian lived, but now well, to make a long story short, we are the one and only literary society of Paris High School. We boast of fifty active members in our ranks, and two very active sponsors, Miss Pansier and Miss Lord. We chose “China, for our 1923-24 subject, and dividing this topic into dif- ferent papers on history, religion, commerce, customs, art, music, litera- ture, and several others, we have produced an interesting year for our society. We hold our meetings regularly every two weeks and with our programs consisting of various outside numbers, usually music and P. H. S. activities, we draw a good sized gathering at every meeting. Our object is to further the study and knowledge of music, art, and literature, and at all times to be loyal and true to our own dear Alma Mater—Paris High!

THE PHYSTICUPHS We, the Physticuphs, met at the beginning of the term and took up again the wonderful work in which our members of the past few years have excelled. We have already been benefited very much by the many interesting debates in which all the members of the society have taken part. From the interest we are arousing many more debates of equal merit will be held before the close of the school year. Several of our members took part in the interscholastic debate between Chrisman and Paris on February 4, in which Paris gained a double victory, the negative at Chrisman and the affirmative at Paris, thus winning fresh laurels for Paris High. Here’s to the Physticuphs, High in the hall of fame, May they be true to Paris High Bring honor to the name. The officers for the year are: President....................... Kenneth Jenks Vice President ............... Allan Stalnaker Secretary ................... Forest Huffaker —FLOYD JACKSON ’26. Sixty-seven jjgxsjxztVfsxtj xixtiXZSQB THE ARENA DEB TES On the evening of February 4, 1924, Paris and Chrisman High Schools debated the question: Resolved: That the League of Nations shall be entered by the United States without reservations. In both Chrisman and Paris the Tiger teams won, so no person is now able to prove any political argument by the outcome of this debate. The Paris debating team is, we think, the best since the first dual debate with Marshall in 1921. The members of this team were Stella Morris, Kenneth Jenks, and John Red- mon for the negative; and Marian Williams, Lee Strohl, and Kenneth Heltsley for the affirmative. The debaters from Chrisman showed great argumentative powers, but were lacking in force. However, both teams acquitted themselves well, and showed they had given the question much time and thought. Two weeks after the Paris-Chrisman debate, Paris and Marshall High Schools debated the same question. Every town likes to see its own school win. but no team can win all the time as former debates with Mar- shall have proved. There seems to be a “hoodoo” on Paris-Marshall con- tests. For the last two years Marshall has always turned out teams just a little better than Paris teams, and this debate did not prove the con- trary. The same persons represented Paris in the Marshall debate as in the Chrisman debate. These six persons deserve great credit for their services to the High School. They have won one debate and lost one this year. The Paris Wiley debate was canceled because of the inability of either school to set a date satisfactory to the other. —J. C„ ’24. Row Sixty-eight 19 2 4 THE RIFLE CLUB The Rifle Club, organized four years ago, is today one of the most popular activities for the boys of P. H. S. Superintendent Moss was pe- titioned this year by twenty-five boys to reorganize the Rifle Club. Action was taken immediately, and a meeting was called for all the boys inter- ested in the club. Twenty-five members were soon obtained, their dues paid, and the officers elected. Twenty rounds of ammunition were ord- ered from the Raritan Arsenal at Netuchan, N. J., through Mr. C. E. Stodter, director of Civilian Markmanship, of the War Department at Washington. The ammunition was ordered about the middle of De- cember, but as the supply has as yet failed to arrive, the club will have to start on a left over supply from last year. The Club will begin action January 14, 1924, and complete its action May 2, 1924. From our membership of twenty-five, five squads were formed. Harry Crede, Byron Curtis, George Kimble, Kenneth Jenks, and Harris Wright were appointed squad leaders. Each leader will do his best to make his squad the leading squad, and it is hoped that many in the club will develop into excellent marksmen. The officers for this year are: President Harris Wright Treasurer Mr. Shuler Executive Officer ........ Mr. Shuler HARRIS WRIGHT, President 1924. Sixtjr-nln � • k’U THE “AC” CLUB The “Ag” Club was reorganized this year under the supervision of Mr. Martin, our “Ag” instructor. We meet every two weeks in our de- partment of Vocational Agriculture. Much interest is promoted among the members by the interesting, as well as educational, programs which are given by the members of the club themselves. After our meetings are held, we are served with refreshments, which are not at all objectionable. Following this, a fast basket ball game is played, causing us to forget our daily school worries. The “Ag” Club promises to be a great help in drawing the country boys together. Only those who are taking vocational agriculture in Paris High School are permitted to join. Mr. Martin, our able adviser, secures the best material available for the use of our club. We have subscribed to several farm papers which are available only to our members. In this way all modern ideas in agriculture are carried to the different homes of the boys. Most farm boys are somewhat timid about joining clubs and organizations. They are afraid to get up before a group of people. The “Ag” Club automatically disposes of these fears. The members are re- quired to talk on some subject of their own choosing. Two such speeches are given at each meeting. The boys soon gain confidence in themselves and their audiences. We have a natural humorist in the person of Roscoe Arbuckle, who really is quite funny at times. He can stand up with a solemn and straight face, tell a story or crack a joke, causing the audience to go into convul- sions of laughter. Jokes and “wise” sayings come quite naturally to his mind, and are put forth to us for our approval. He never fails to incite uproarious laughter. The officers of this club were elected at the last meeting of the boys last year. President ................ Chester L. Waters Vice President ..................

Voices were tried out, and the mem- bership limited to twenty-seven. After working diligently at rehearsals twice a week we were able to sing on various occasions at the school pro- grams, but we did not appear before the public until January when we sang at the Fanners’ Institute, as has been the custom for several years. Last year the Girls’ Glee Club won in the Edgar County Contest, and this year is planning and working for similar honors. Although a good many will graduate this year, and their musical voices will no longer be heard, here’s to the success of the Glee Club next vear and in the years to come! —S. M. ’24.

We will all remember the many times we enjoyed playing at other schools from 3:21 on, especially if there were eats. To next year’s orchestra we leave our hopeless hopes that they may be able to play popular music. —HELEN CRUM.

How mysterious the name! But regardless of the name it is an organization of worth. This club had never been organized until the year of 1923 when the capable director of dramatics. Miss Low- ther, conceived the bright idea. The students in P. H. S. who were in- terested in the establishment of such a society met and elected officers for the first year. The real purpose of the society is to give the members a chance to become acquainted with the stage, to learn the rudiments of good expression, and above all to gain self-confidence.

Scvonly-four THE ARENA HOOP- L A The Junior Class of ’24 christened the new auditorium with its class play “Hoop-La,” produced by the John B. Rogers Company on the nights of April 12 and 13. The play was a real-honest-to-goodness minstrel, pro duced by a professional minstrel-man, and its entertainment was composed of entirely new and original music, dances, and comedy. So we don’t wonder at its success when we had such an array of talent as the following: Part One Capt.

How- ever, last year some unknown and enlightened citizen of Paris estab- lished two permanent prizes—the Notsuh Oratorical Prize and the Sec- narf Scholarship Prize. Both prizes were to consist of a twenty dollar gold piece and a gold button. Considerable interest was shown in these prizes last year and there were several close contenders for the first places. The Notsuh Oratorical Prize which was given to the student delivering the best oration at an oratorical contest went to Kenneth Jenks last year. Stuart Allen Kincaid was second and Marjorie Chap- man third. The Secnarf Scholarship prize which went to the student maintaining the highest marks during his high school course went to Harry Crede, with Mary Fontana a close second, and Mary Osborne Dole third. Let us hope that as the prizes become better established the students will take an added interest in them so that they may accomplish their purpose of increasing scholarship in Paris High School. Seventy-town THE ARENA THE CHARM SCHOOL Being the first Senior class to have the privilege of presenting its class play in the new auditorium of the high school, the class of ’23 applied itself accordingly and justified this honor on May 30 and 31, 1923, by presenting the fascinating comedy, “The Charm School.” The characters of the play were: Austin Bevans, an automobile salesman ....................Richard Dyas David McKenzie, a law student ......................Eugene Armstrong George Boyd, an expert accountant ......................Turner Trimble Jim Simpkins and Tim Simpkins, who toil not ...................... .....................Garland Shelledy.

Scvcnty-cight Scvcnly uinv THE GLORIOUS GIRL The “Glorious Girl” was presented by the Harrington-Adams Pro- ducing Company under the auspices of the high school on October 18-19. 1923, at Shoaff’s Opera House. During the previous year when the “Cameo Girl” was produced, everyone pronounced it a most charmingly and brilliantly presented musical comedy. Therefore it was with questioning minds that most Parisians purchased their tickets for the “Glorious Girl;”—was it not improbable that this could attain the standard set by the “Cameo Girl,” let alone excel it? But our patrons were pleasantly surprised when their deep-rooted theory was destroyed; the “Glorious Girl” surpassed the wildest of our dreams—it was a true success. From a financial standpoint the play accomplished its mission, since the debt on the grand piano for which the school is striving to pay, was entirely swept away.

KkMy-six 19 2 4 THE ARENA F 0 O T B A L I, The Tiger football squad failed to fulfill their own expectations and those of their friends during the season of 1923, winning but three games out of eleven. The boys displayed real football ability at times, but at others closely resembled the rankest of amateurs. However, two of the members of the team, Zimmerly and Tolliver, displayed enough ability to be chosen for places on the Terre Haute Tribune’s All-Valley teams. The team opened the season early, traveling to Ridgefarm for a so- called practice game, which in reality served its purpose by giving the boys some good experience and in teaching them the detrimental effects of over-confidence. The final score was 6 to 0 in favor of the country lads, the Tigers playing exceptionally poor; although it must be remem- bered that this was the first actual engagement for several of the men and they were handicapped by the absence of Captain Cotterman and their mainstay end, Tolliver. The next game, speaking in the parlance of the football men, was “fish,” the boys travelling to Terre Haute and severely chastising the green Gerstmeyer eleven by a score of 48 to 0. The gridmen showed marked improvement in this game though and. strengthened by the pres- ence of Cotterman and Tolliver, gave some idea of their real strength and weaknesses. In this game Tolliver booted over a sensational 40-yard place kick, and Zimmerly made his first touchdown in his three years of playing. After the game the team was treated to a supper by Mr. G. N. Cox in recognition of their excellent showing. Instead of being spurred on to better efforts by this victory, the team became over-confident again and lost its pep, being defeated 6 to 0 in their next game with Areola. This should have been an easy victory, but Tolli ver and Strohl were the only men who showed even a semblance of foot- ball playing. The Wiley game was nothing more than a walk-away as is the es- tablished custom between the two schools, this time the tally being 31 to 7 in favor of the Red and White. Marshall was the next wolf to knock at the door, and the boys showed little hesitancy in handing them a choice morsel of tiger meat with very meagre resistance. This score was 18 to 0. Tolliver and Davis were the boys who did not play this time. Robinson came next, and Paris with all its fighting spirit fought to the very end, but luck was against them, and so the score was 30 to (5, favor of Robinson. Time after time Paris carried the ball within Robin- son’s ten yard line, but lacked the punch to put it over. Tolliver and Zim- merly starred in this game for the Tigers. In the Casey game as in the Robinson game Paris had a bit of tough luck, and went down to defeat by the score of 9 to 7. Casey was quite fortunate in nosing out the team at the finish; it cannot be said that Casey was outplayed, but most certainly they did not show any super- iority over Paris. Casey’s winning points were scored near the end of Ktybiyrtjjht t Xfc 19 2 4 the encounter by Fancher; but remember this, that the Tigers were the first to score upon the visitors in 1923. Paris came back the next week and astounded themselves, their opponents, and everyone else by giving Georgetown a trouncing by the score of 19 to 3. In this game they showed real football ability and really deserved to win and by as wide a margin as they did. Tolliver, McMullen and Zimmerly did the scoring for Paris, while “Mush” McGowan did some effective work in the line. In spite of their victory, however, the Tigers were unable to with- stand their sudden burst of prosperity and played the role of doormats for the fast Westville eleven the following week. The score was (55 to 0, so we will not attempt to nauseate our readers by all the gruesome details of the scrap, but we will state with justifiable pride that Paris was the first team to explore the sacred regions of the Westville 20-yard line. The following engagement showed a marked reversal of form on the part of the Orange and Black, and the boys downed Mattoon by a score of 14 to 13 after a desperately fought game. Besides showing excellent attacking ability, the team displayed a regular fight reminiscent of the old days, and time and again held the Mattoon aggregation in critical instances, three times on the one-foot line. Tolliver and Cotterman made the scores for the Tigers, and McMullen made the deciding point by com- pleting a pass from Zimmerly. The final game of the season was played at Oakland as usual, and thanks to several of the powers that be, we were barely defeated by a score of 13 to 12. The boys put over a touchdown in the very latest minutes of play, and Zimmerly shot a successful pass to McMullen to tie the score; but at this critical instance the head linesman ruled that l)oth teams were offside, necessitating the replaying of the attempt for the extra point. A pass went wild and Oakland won, 13 to 12. It must be remembered that the Tigers had a stiff schedule to buck as is readily seen by a glance at the season’s review. However, one must not blind himself to the fact that the teams who have such an envi- able reputation throughout the Valley are representing schools of much less enrollment than Paris High. The Tigers should be one of the powers in the circuit year in and year out because of their abundance of ma- terial ; but it seems that they must be contented to rate as a second-class team, fit only to provide practice to the smaller schools. Next year the team will be handicapped at the outset by the loss of ten letter men, but throughout the season just past there have been many young players who have shown marked ability. With these men to work with, the Tigers should next year at least start on the uphill journey to some regular football teams. —ARTHUR J. WESTON ’24. Football player—Mr. Frazier, some one started the rumor that 1 had a soft head; you don’t think there is anything in it, do you? Mr. Frazier—No, I don’t think there is.

About forty men responded. The squad was di- vided up into different teams and in this way Coach Frazier could see what each man could do. He cut the squad down to about twenty men, and then the real practice began. The basketball team, of course, was crippled by the loss of men who graduated in the class of '23. and we didn’t win as many games as the previous year; but this is no sign that the Tigers did not fight till the end. Throughout the season no man was sure of his position, and as every one knows, this increased his determination to be one of the Tigers. There were at least two men for each position. Caylor and Waller were the two main men for the back guard position, while Strohl and Tolliver fought for the running guard. As forwards we have McMullen. Baber, Means, Lewellyn, and Cotterman. Coach Frazier had to choose his centers from Davis, Colwell. Black, and Weston, so you can see the competition any one man had to make the team. Coach Frazier resigned during the holidays and Mr. Newgent then took the basketball team in hand. Although Paris had a hard schedule, and had anything but good luck, they did fairly well. With such men as Black, Caylor, Means, Baber, and Tolliver left for next year, the basketball team of ’25 should start the season off with a bang! —A.

FOOTBALL BANQUET The mothers of the Paris High School football players entertained at the school building on February 11th, for the defenders of the Orange and Black with an elaborate banquet. Superintendent John Moss, Miss Carolyn Wenz, principal, Mr. A. T Martin, and Coach Newgent gave interesting addresses while the boys were seated about the tables, Mr. Martin acting as toastmaster. Captain Cotterman, who piloted his team most successfully last year, gave also a talk to his men and urged that the spirit of the former year be followed throughout the battles of 1924. The cheer leaders, Lawrence Dugan and William Colwell, also had a few words to say. The senior letter men who addressed those in attendance at the ban- quet were McMullen, Strohl, Waller, Davis, and Waters. The banquet given by the mothers for the sons who have played on the football team has become an annual event on the social calendar of the Paris high school and is looked forward to from year to year by the boys. A three-course dinner was served, as follows: Fruit Cocktail Chicken Patties Mashed Potatoes Oysters Hot Rolls Gravy Cocoa Coffee Ice Cream Cake Carnations were given as favors. XUifetyvtwo 19 2 4 GIRLS’ BASKET BALL Yes—the basketball girls are the girls who yell the best at all games, sing the best at assembly, have most pep at pep meetings, and in gen- eral take most interest in high school activities, and altogether represent the peppiest bunch at Paris High School. Perhaps we haven’t developed in actual floor work and experience as the boys have,—but we challenge any team in P. H. S. to compete with us in a goal-shooting contest. Last spring we held the first of our hoped-for girls’ annual basketball tourna- ments, in which the Mid-Sophs were victorious, and since all the class teams of this year are going strong the former victors will have to step some to cop this year’s championship. Friday evenings and gym periods are our only source of time for practice, but so far this year we have put it to good advantage. Now comes the real part of this paragraph and the real cause for our interest and success in basketball. We have a real coach, to urge us on in athletics, a coach who has studied basketball and knows how to teach it. We wager that if Coach Lowther were given a chance to train our first team of boys, Coach Newgent would have to step fast to retain his position. But after all is said and done, the best result of basketball is the spirit of good sportsmanship it fosters, which enables us to make the best of all defeats which our high school meets and to “Pack up our troubles in our old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile.” —MARIAN WILLIAMS, Captain of Mid.

Olio hundred forty-five THE ARENA - M HTHE CRASH of the lines the half- hack knifes through—the goal posts beckon but tacklers threaten still That’s the time for interference for the diving smash that crumples the would-be tackier, and clears the field for the flashing runner with the ball. The stands rock with the shout ofviAory. Touchdown! Election to the annual staff isonly reaching the line of scrimmage. Your t ask has just begun. Burly fig- ures stud the field to trip you, smotner you, drag you down. Problems, tangles, discouragements! —but the goal can be reached—if you have good interference. That’s our job. You take the ball—we’ll takeout the tacklers. And we’ll stay with you till ihe last white line is crossed and the crowd is hitching your name to a booming skyrocket. Put Stafford on the team. Call ’em, quarterback. Let’s go. STAFFORD ENGRAVING CO.

WHY THEY FLUNKED “Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to any thing else.” “A giass widow is the wife of a dead vegetarian.” “Oceanica is that continent which contains no land.” “In India a man out of another cask may not marry a woman out of another cask.” “Parallel lines are the same distance all the way and do not meet unless you should bend them.” “Gravitation is that which if there were none we should all fly away.” “Louis XVI was gelatined during the French Revolution.” “Horse power is the distance one horse can carry a pound of water in an hour.” “Palsy is a kind of new winter’s dance.” “Letters in sloping print are hysterics.” Barber—You look talented. Thad Foley—That’s why I want my hair cut. Mary Louise Lacey—Miss Tate, may 1 be excused from reciting to- day. I left all of my principal parts at home. v Mr. Newgent (after the assembly had been unruly)—From now on you will have no liberty. Voice from rear—Give me liberty or give me death! Mr. Newgent—Who said that? Voice (very weak)—Patrick Henry. Onu humlrfd forty-acvon THE ARENA When you choose a piano there is one certain way of buying that which best pleases you—that is by care- ful comparison. Such comparison should not end with the hearing of instrument played. Two pianos may be widely dif- ferent in their comparative tone qualities within a few years. And you generally buy a piano for more than momentary use. Carry your comparison into the construction de- tails of instruments you are considering—into the stability and magnitude of the organizations which build them—find the instrument that has stood the test of time. In these respects as well as for its artistic value, the Baldwin has commanded the highest awards in world expositions—it has been repeatedly chosen by expert musical teachers and artists for personal use— it is this instrument you will find in the White House at Washington.
