Page thirty-nine THE ARENA CLASS HISTORY OF ’25 The members of the graduating class arc those who hold the responsibil- ity of the leadership of the whole school upon their shoulders. They are the ones who make the history of the school worth remembering or easily for- gotten. It is with pride that we, the members of the class of '25, look back over the year 1924-'25 and find that our class has done its part in making the history of P. H. S. worth remembering. As all freshmen are green I guess we were a green bunch, too, but we had lots of pep and were anxious to show the rest of the classes that we would have some record to exhibit when we got through. Not many took part in athletics the first year, but those who did came out with honor. Miss Bald- win was our advisor. As Sophomores the class of ’25 was well represented in the organization and activities of the school. Several of our boys were out for football and basketball. Three girls were Wranglers and four boys were Physticuphs. Our advisor for this year was Miss Tate. In our Junior year, Miss Dayton was our advisor. This year we considered ourselves upperclassmen and determined to set a good example. Many of our members received athletic and oratorical honors. In April the Junior class play was presented. It was entitled “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Much hard work was put on it by the cast. The climax of the year came in May with the annual Junior-Senior banquet. None can forget the success that it was. The fall of 1924 brought us back to the entrance gates of P. H. S. as dignified Seniors. We, with Miss Wenz as advisor, had our election imme- diately and selected the following officers: President...............................................Alan Stalnaker Vice-President .........................................Ruth Wood Secretary...........................................Margaret Hollinger Treasurer .............................................Cyril Means We are all striving to keep our record. We are looking forward to the Senior class play. We arc thinking of the enjoyment we will have being the guests of the Juniors at the banquet. Then there is Commencement! We can scarcely believe that our high school days are so nearly over. Our senti- ments are voiced in our school song: When the cares of life o’ertakc us, Mingling fast our locks with gray, Should our dearest hopes betray us, False fortune fall away; Still we banish care and sadness As we turn our memories back. And recall those days of gladness 'Neath the Orange and the Black. Page forty 19 2 5 CLASS PROPHECY Last Monday morning, October 23, 1936, it was necessary for me to leave my home in Talahassee to make a trip to Chicago. I arranged the evening before that my capable assistant, Miss Ina Downey, should take charge of my business. I left on the first aeroplane, taking with me a package sent through the mail, which to my surprise contained clippings from newspapers. I learned that Cleo Bledsoe is teaching aesthetic dancing in the Perkins Insti- tution. Richard Crabtree is doing a thriving undertaking business in Ha- vana, Cuba, because of the yellow fever. Carl Means is quite as busy as Richard since he is coroner at the same place. Margaret Chapman, Frances Curtis, and Frances Powers are private secretaries in New York in the A B C corporation, the largest rouge manufacturing house in the world. It is so called because its owners are Adams, Barr, and Cook. Lawrence Middleton is a noted photographer. Reeds Andrews has just finished a cathedral con- sidered equal to Notre Dame. Ruth Eldrcdge was proclaimed swimming champion and Elizabeth Curl tennis champion at the Olympian games this year. Allan Parrish is a successful judge at Herrin, 111. Richard Boyd is the new city-manager of St. Louis. Arriving in Chicago I checked immediately at the famous Moore Hotel, where I found Marie Slaughter as the able clerk. I spent the afternoon in the radio room. I heard there a fine address by Speaker of the House. Jamie Bowman. I also heard a Democratic, a Republican, and a Socialist speech made by the following candidates for the presidency this fall,—Mr. Allan Stalnaker, Mr. Leo Lindle Wade, and Mr. Russell Hale. Mr. Hale set forth a unique platform. It was necessary for me to use the unabridged Henry dictionary in order to fully comprehend it. I spent the evening reading “Humorous Essays’ by Mary Elizabeth Crabtree and various poems by Mary Lou Bell. The next morning I took a Tolliver cab to the offices of Milam, Thomp- son, Updegraffe Paper Co. It took the whole morning to settle my business there. Since I intended to shop that afternoon I stepped into a large restau- rant. From the menu card I learned that the proprietors were Milburn, Mar- tin McGee. After luncheon I went to Hurst, the Tiffany of the present day, in order to get a broken crystal replaced in my Glatthaar watch. Then I purchased Ruth Wood’s “Fairy Tales” and a book of cartoons by Thelma Calvin. These I was taking home to the Fidler-Propst Kindergarten. On my way to the Means Shop to buy a hat I met Leora Cockroft, who is now work- ing on a statue of a red headed, freckle-faced boy (Arthur See is her model) that will be sure to bring her fame as a sculptor. We next went to Maerene Mason’s “Blue Tea Room.” Over our cups she told me what she knew of our old classmates. Marian Williams is a well-known physical educator. Neoma Weston is succeeding as a painter. Fred Zimmerly is a druggist in San Francisco. Helen Kirsten is the best governor Alaska ever had. George James is campaign manager for Leo Wade. Frank Gillespy is president of the largest trust company of America. On my way back to the hotel I bought the Boston newspaper of which Cyril Means is editor. In it I rea l an article, praising Marsalene Stewart's nursing, written by a student of the Philadelphia Academy. I knew that this is a select school for young ladies operated by Erma Smith and Margaret Hollinger. Paul Mopps is the new leader of the Labor Union. Louise Stevenson, the wonderful impersonator, will give a radio entertainment from station WOC November 1st. I saw an advertise- ment of the Tolliver-Moody Marinello shop. Esther Harrison and Alberta Tillman are leaving on the Huffaker-White ship October 29 to open a mission school in the wilds of Africa. Several advertisements that I saw were done (Continued on page 46) Page forty-one THE ARENA THE SENIOR WILL We, the Class of 1925, about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost super- human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item 1 We give and hecjueath to our beloved Principal, Miss Wenz, our sin- cere affection, deepest reverence, heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlim- ited wealth of our eternal memory. In an attempt at partial payment, we make over to her. here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown. Item 2 We give and bequeath to Coach Newgent the loyalty and ever-enduring friendship of the Class of 1925. in individual as well as collective manifesta- tion. Item 3 We give and bequeath to the Faculty a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights, also all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our examination papers. Item 4 We give and bequeath to the leading papers of our city all the events of our lives, past, present and future, with all the wonders, sensations, hair- breadth escapes, and glorious attainments with which we have been or may be associated. Item 5 We give and bequeath to the custodians, Mr. Gillum and Orval Goff, their heirs and assigns forever, the inalienable and indissoluble right of pass- ing opinions upon the personal appearance of the teachers whether favor- able or otherwise. Item 6 We give and bequeath to the Junior class our well-known ability to talk back in self-defense and to make any action they may see fit to commit seem perfectly justifiable and proper. Item 7 We, likewise, give and bequeath to this same Junior class and to the stu- dent body Bill Henry’s knowledge of economics, chemistry, and the universe in whole or in part. We trust the class may be able to survive it. Item 8 To the Sophomores, who are soon to become Juniors, we bequeath and devise all our stupidity and faculty for blundering at the simplest tasks, also the ease with which we forget the difficult ones. Item 9 To the Freshman class that is to be. we bequeath any overlooked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the underside of desks, banisters, as- sembly seats or any likely or unlikely places. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. Page forty-two 19 2 5 Item 10 The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they mav be accepted not as worthless things lavishly thrown away, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them. 1st.

Using the two class colors, cherry and gray, and purple and white, combined with a ceiling of shrubbery dotted with Japanese lanterns, the gymnasium presented an artistic- setting for the annual event. As usual, a terrible downpour arrived on the eventful night, but it did not prevent approximately three hundred guests from enjoying the evening.

As I read further I found that Mildred Young Wright had resigned her position as sccretarv of state in favor of Marian Rambo. There had been a collision between the aeroplane of Mable Conley (the ac- tress, who is now playing in Genevieve Ross’s latest production) and a transit owned by Fads and Jump. Goldy Hardy, enroute to her home in Chicago, was the only passenger hurt. Doctor Ewing attended the patient, taking her to the Sullivan Hospital in Denver, Colorado. Miss Hardy has engaged Law- yer Honnold to bring suit. That evening I went with Mrs. Lucy Brown Rafferty and her husband to the opera. I heard the great baritone Papadakos and the latest prima donna, Eileen Meyers. The latter was accompanied by that most gracious musician, William Link. Mary Ellen Parker sat not far from us. The hand- some man with her seemed to be her husband. Coral Grose was the aviator of the ship I returned home on the following morning. On the way I worked one of Roll’s cross word puzzles. I was glad to be back in Talahassee once more, but glad, too, to have had all this information from the class of '25.

A crowd at the door. Every seat in the gym is filled. There’s a roar from the rooters. From horns and tooters; Spectators are there to be thrilled. The whistle blows; There the ball goes: The teams are fighting like demons. With a man at his hand. Each man takes a stand. And fights like he had the tremens. The rooters go mad. When a goal makes them glad: They yell and scream all the more Like a wave that stops With a roar on the rocks. When they look at the even score. One minute in, A victory to win. Ere the bang of the gun stops the game. A graceful fling Sends the ball through the ring. And a victory is won just the same. The crowd gets thinner; One team is the winner; The players shake hands with each other; Thev furnished a thrill With a sportsman’s will. And are friends now with each other. —JAMES BLAKER, ’26. Pag fifty 19 2 5 THE HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS Hurrah for the class of ’26! We think or at least hope that our class has accomplished something worth while. In the fall of 1922 we entered P. H. S. with the determination to succeed. As “freshies” there were approximatel one hundred and fifty of us. Al- though we were as “green” as katydids, we were not. perhaps, any “greener than the classes preceding us. In fact, we worked ver hard to overcome the hardships of high school life that were new to us. Finally we advanced a step nearer to our goal and took unto ourselves the more honorable name of sophomores. During our Sophomore ) ear, our scope of interest became broadened. We contributed many enthusiastic workers to the orchestra, the glee club, the literary societies. One of our girls was given the honor of being chosen as pianist, and she has succeeded as such ever since. However, we did not neglect our parties, picnics, and other entertainments, which were very enjo; able. Now that We are Juniors, we feel that childish and informal parties and picnics arc the things of the past, but we are looking forward to the most successful Junior-Senior banquet ever given in I . H. S. We also have our class play to add to our list of successes. If we stick to our aim we will be bound to succeed, no matter how many hardships we may meet. We will continue to work for dear old Paris High and in the years to come we shall never regret it. —ANNA PAPADAKOS, ’26. JUNIOR HONOR ROLL Bell. Virgil ........ Borkon, Eli ......... Claybaugh.

We distinguished our- selves from the first by winning the boys’ inter-class basketball tournament. But our fame in that line did not stop there. Two of the star players on the first team and a number of the first rate “subs” have come from our class. In January we were joined by more students from Mayo and almost before we realized it, school was out and our days as “green Freshies” were over. As Sophomores we have not been idle but have taken an active part in everything, including the “Gypsy Rover,” and, under the direction of Miss Tate, have staged a small Latin play, “The Schoolboy’s Dream,” at an assembly. So here’s to the class of ’27; may it ever maintain its record! —MYRTLE KNIGHT, ’27. Page (Ifty-Mwn THE ARENA Page fifty-eight FRESHMEN THE ARENA FRESHMAN OFFICERS J. C.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY oocooo The Freshman class is made up of about one hundred and fifty loyal members. Some came from Mayo: others from the various country schools. Since we entered Paris High, we have been active in almost every branch of school life. The Fresh- man basketball team gained considerable fame when they won the Inter-class Basketball Championship, and then defeated the faculty in a hotly-contested game. The Freshmen are well known for their class spirit and their willingness to co-operate in every activity. With the past so pleasing, we may rightfully expect even greater things in the future. —JOHN HUFFMAN. oooooooooooo FRESHMAN HONOR ROLL P aysinger, Ft .el . Curtis, Jennie Hayes. Beulah Jones.

Page sixty-four Hittvavp Htterarp THE ARENA SENIOR PRIZE STORY Lyndell Versus Grayson “Come to my room as soon as you are dressed, Bob,” said Coach Gra- ham. There was an ominous silence, as the order from the coach was heard. For it had been reported on the campus that Bob, the high-point man, the flashy Lyndell half-back, was not to be allowed to play in the Home-Coming game with Grayson College. Bob hurried to his shower, but answered not a word to the many queries hurled at him while he dressed. Then he walked quickly to the coach’s room and went in. Just what was said there no one could find out, but when Bob came out there was a new firmness and de- termination in his face and in his very step. Each evening he was out for practice, but in the scrimmages he some- times played on the first eleven, but more often on the second, while Joe Brown, a Senior, who had entered Lyndell just that year played in Bob’s usual place. Brown played well but not with Bob’s lightning vim. The day for the Home-Coming game came. It seemed as if the whole country arrayed in varied colors was present to see Lyndell battle against Old Grayson. It was a beautiful setting—tier after tier of blue and gold on one side of a narrow plot of green, and tier after tier of flaming red anti white on the other. The air was filled with sounds of the school bands playing and the shouts of the rooters yelling, “Hold them. Grayson. Hold them, Grayson. Hold them. Gravson. hold them,” and “Fight, Lyndell, fight.” “Fight, Lyndell, fight.” Grayson’s men, hailed as champions and deservedly so. pranced out on the gridiron in all their splendor of red and white amidst the shouts of thousands of loyal rooters. Then came Lyndell’s men in blue and gold. The whole west bleachers rose as to a man and fairly rent the air with their shouts: but even as they shouted they were frightened, for Boh, their uncon- querable Bob, was not there: not even as a sub. Before they could even question why. the whistle blew and the game was on. Then came the kick-off and Grayson elected to receive. The hall lit out of bounds and was Lyndcll’s, on its own 20-yard line. But Lyndell failed to pass, and the first quarter ended with no score. Each team was feeling out the other. The second quarter saw Grayson on the offensive, plunging, sweeping, and fighting across Lyndell’s line for a touchdown which was successful. Then Biggs kicked goal and Gravson had 7 points to Lyn- dell’s none. Lyndell again kicked off and Joe Brown, Bob White’s sub. had the ball. Could he make it? Yes! Darting, jumping, and dashing through Grayson’s line, he swent around the end for a touchdown. The half ended with 7 to 6 in favor of Grayson, for Lyndell’s man had failed to kick goal. The crowd went wild. The second half opened with Lyndell’s team fighting hard to hold their own. but Grayson’s men advanced, and Jones. Grayson’s half-back, ripped through the Lyndell line, shook off all tackles, ran, dodged and sued 20 yards to a touchdown. Biggs again kicked goal and the score stood 14 to 6 in favor of Grayson. The Graysonites shouted themselves hoarse, hut the Lyndell rooters groaned, for Joe Brown had been hurt and no one else could take Bob’s place. “Oh. for Bob White! Where—oh, where was their beloved White?” Suddenly all Lyndell rooters were on their feet, for they had heard above the din their own cheer leader and the rooting section take up the (Concluded on page 70) nixtjr-xix 19 2 5 JUNIOR PRIZE STORY A Brave Act As I trudged my weary way along the hillside path, I looked down on the red-tiled roofs of the cottages in the village of Somewhere. The smoke was lazily wreathing from the chimneys and the sun cast a home-like glint over the crooked streets. Small carts were rumbling over the cobblestones and children shouted jo- fully to the drivers. Slowly I made my way down the winding path and reached the first house in the village. Several small children were playing around the door, and as I approached they ceased their chattering and scuttled into the ooen doorway. At my call, a robust woman came to the door and eyed me doubt- fully. I began to open my pack and display the flashing tinware and bright ornaments. She seized them eagerly and I was prepared to make a sale, when somewhere up the street a cry came ringing over the evening air. At once everybody rushed into the street. Soon the clattering of hoofs was heard and a horse and rider came swiftly over the rough cobblestones. At every door he shouted these words: “The mine has caved in; twenty men are lost!” At the sound everybody became excited and the once calm village was ringing with cries of frightened men and women. They ran about, calling and gathering their children. I turned to mv customer, to find her leaning in the doorway, her face as pale as ash. Slowly she opened her startled eves and the next instant she was away up the street and taking a path along a brook-side. Several people followed. I among them. After a breath- taking run we arrived at the mouth of an ancient coal mine that had supplied the wants of the people for many years. At its mouth stood a ring of weep- jn r women, wringing their hands and praying. My prospective customer elbowed her wav through the crowd and stood among some of the workers who were afraid to enter the mine. Without a word, she entered the shaft, and was lost from sight. A murmur of surprise ran through the crowd and everybody waited with a breathless hope. Soon a face appeared in the shaft and then others. Fifteen of the twenty men staggered weaklv into the arms of their loved ones. At this, hone was revived, and several men entered to search for the remaining five. After a hort time, four of them returned with limp bodies in their arnjs. But what of mv customer? I had not long to wait, for she came also, carrving the dead bodv of her husband. Tears were streaming down her face. T turned awav and left the sorrowing group, with a choking lump in mv throat. I retraced my steps to the village and went on my wav over the hills. I still wonder how the woman ever rescued the men. but T know she had risked her life for the one she loved. I. also, have never been sorry that I went away and left mv pack at her door. —JOHN S.

Paste sixty-seven THE ARENA SOPHOMORE PRIZE STORY The Haunted House There were three of us, Bill, Tubby, and myself, who had decided to visit our neighbor. He was a man of about fifty, tall, dark-skinned, with black hair; a very queer man with a disagreeable frown always upon his face. “Aw go on. Tubby, knock at the door. He won’t hurt you.” said Bill. “I know it, I ain’t gonna give ’im a chanct.” said Tubby. “If he ain’t a gonna hurt nobody, why doncha do it yourself?” “Aw keep still, I ain’t afraid,” said I. Marching boldly up to the door, I rang the bell. I heard a stealthy footstep and then the door opened very slowly. “Why—er—a—hello, Mr. Anderson. We thought we would—er—a— come around and pay you a visit.” “Oh, you did, did you? Well, come right in and sit down. I have been very lonely and am glad you came to see me,” he said, pulling four chairs close to the large fireplace, which had a roaring fire in it. “Well,” said Tubby, “we thought we owed you the first visit, ’cause you never knowed nobody around here, and it was up to us to get acquainted.” “Yes, I’m very glad you came, and if you will excuse me a moment I will get a pan of apples for you.” After waiting a length of time Bill was the first to break the silence. “Sav, he’s been gone fur exactly ten minutes. Wonder what’s the mat- ter?” “Well.” said I, “maybe he-----” We were all on our feet for a deep groan came from the kitchen, and immediately we recognized it as Mr. Anderson’s voice. “You guys stay here,” said Bill, “I’ll go and see what’s the matter.” He had no more than entered the other room when we heard an ex- clamation of fright, and lie came running back toward us, his face as white as snow. As he ran past us, and out the door we heard him say, “He’s dead, guys, lie’s dead.” I ran to the phone and called a doctor who said he would be there in a moment. Tubby and I waited in suspense until lie came. On entering, he asked where the body was, and I hurriedly explained to him all that had happened. The doctor led the wav into the kitchen, Tubby and I following him, but—well. I could hardly believe my eyes, but it was true, the body of Mr. Anderson was gone. I don’t know exactly how it hannened, but the next tiling I knew I was home telling it all to mother and father. In about two hours the strange story was over all of Shelbyville. Two days after. Tubby, Bill, and I met to talk over what had happened. If it had not been for Bill the story would have ended, but just like him, he up and dared Tubby and me to sleep in that house, which was now pro- nounced haunted, over night. Tubby protested right away and said he knew lots pleasanter things we could do. but Bill called him a coward, so of course it all ended in our deciding to sleep in the “haunted house” next night. The following evening we all started for the house with blankets thrown over our shoulders, and some candles and matches in our pockets. “This is a mess and a half you’ve stirred up,” said Tubby. “Aw. there you go,” said Bill, “I betcha you back out and go home.” “Now! I ain’t gonna back out. but I wish you would a-kept your mouth shut, and not stirred up such a mess.” “Well, here we are,” says I. “Who’s going in first? I know I’m not.” (Concluded on page 70) Pajre slxty-cteht 19 2 5 PALMA NON SINE PULVERE (FRESHMAN PRIZE STORY) Doris Parker ran happily upstairs to get ready for Jean Thompson’s May-Day party. She had almost counted the minutes since the invitation came. As she looked in the mirror for the tenth time to see that everything was all right, the door bell rang. Doris hurried down the stairs with as much speed as she could, but the door bell kept ringing. It was her father’s cousin, Maud. Poor Doris! Here was this noisy, cranky, and grouchy old maid who was always finding fault with something. “Why, hello. Cousin Maud, exclaimed Doris. “I’m so sorry that mother is gone. Won’t you come in and sit down?” “Of course, 1 will, was the reply. “Do you think I'd want to stand out here all day? Here, child, take my wraps. This house is dreadfully stuffy.” The girl did as she was told. She tried to get something to entertain the lady. The cousin kept complaining of the stuffiness in the house and when Doris turned on the electric fan, it mussed the woman’s hair. “Must I give up this lovely, lovely party just for this horrid cousin? thought Doris. “She always comes in at the wrong time and then expects us to treat her as if she was the Queen of England. She always thinks that we never want her. I’ll call up mother and have her come home to entertain the old cross-patch. No, that would be too selfish. Cousin Maud says that she knows she has upset our plans, but I'll just show her that I can be a real hostess.” Doris picked up the telephone. Hello, Jean. she said, trying to keep the tremor out of her voice. “Daddy’s cousin came and I don’t think I can come to the party. I’m awfully sorry,.... but, you see, mother's gone . . . . No, I don’t think I’d better....Good-bye.” It was hard for Doris to give up the party but she put the thought by very unselfishly. Nothing in the house would entertain the old maid, so the girl fixed a lunch because she had decided to take her on a picnic. Nosy Cousin Maud had listened to the girl’s telephone conversation and. upon finding that someone was really giving up something for her, it softened her hard old heart. The old crabbed cousin seemed transformed into a sweet young lady. She was different from the snobbish, cranky, old woman she had seemed when she ar- rived. They roamed around the woods for a while, gathering flowers and watch- ing the other beautiful works of Mother Nature. The lunch was spread by a cool, rippling brook. Somehow Doris told all of her troubles to Cousin Maud. Mr. Parker had invested a large amount of his money in oil stock. He had lost his legal receipt, showing that lie was one of the stockholders. Upon striking oil. the greedy fellows wanted more than their share and took ad- vantage of the lost receipt. Now Doris could not go to Camp with the other girls. The second great trouble was that she couldn’t join the Girls’ Historical Society because she knew nothing of her ancestors. With her school work, Doris hadn’t much time to trace her ancestry; her parents were also busy, and her brother thought it was all silly. “Why, darling, at home I have a book which I wrote myself, just about our ancestors,” the cousin began. “Really! asked Doris, very excitedly. “Yes. There were five brothers,” began Cousin Maud, “and they came to the United States from England, some time before the Revolutionary War. Two of them fought in it. Martin was a private soldier and Joseph was a general.” Pik« «ixty-nine (Concluded on page 71) THE ARENA LYNDELL VS. GRAYSON (Continued from page 66) whistle. “Bob-Bob-White—Bob-Bob-White.” It could mean only one thing —White, their own Bob White, was coining in. It did mean just that, for running from the dressing room in full football regalia, with a yellow paper in his hand, came White. Bob ran to the coach, handed him the paper, which looked to the observers like a telegram. The coach read it, smiled, patted Bob on the back and sent him into the fray, a substitute tor Joe. Lyndell rooters shrieked, prayed, laughed, and even cried, for now they had some hope. Down on the playing field, two thin lines, flaming red and blue and gold, swayed to and fro, mingled and fought. Suddenly a blue and gold figure broke away and started across the green. Dodging, streaking and dashing, the wonderful Bob ran 75 yards to a touchdown. Mack kicked goal and the score stood 14 to 13 in favor of Grayson. Grayson came back and forced the ball to the kicking distance, but failed to score. Then with only a few minutes to play. Bob again had the ball. Down the field went the Lyndell men, and Bob, zig-zagging, twisting, turning, running, jumping, almost flying, swept around the end and fell beyond the white line. Bob had again scored. A tremendous cheer rolled up from the west side, for Lyndell had won. The score stood 19 to 14. —LEO WADE, '25. THE HAUNTED HOUSE (Continued from page 68) “Go on, Tubby,” said Bill. “Who, me? 1 should say not! Absolutely no!” “Well then, I will,” said Bill. “Huh,” says Tubby, “I guess you will too, if anybody does. So, entering, we lighted six candles, placed them in the room, rolled up in our blankets, and pretended to go to sleep. “Hear that?” said Tubby in a whisper. “Say, Bill, I appoint you in- vestigating committee to go see what that is.” But Bill only let out a fake snore and said nothing. “Say,” whispered Tubby to me, “can you pray?” We knew no more until we were awakened by a soft footstep. It came into the room where we were and—and—something was extinguishing the candles. Softly it walked around the room until the last candle went out. Suddenly a strong light appeared, but we could not tell where it came from, then—we heard a voice and at once recognized it as that of Mr. Anderson. “Whosoever shall venture into this house after midnight, shall not go out alive.” Instantly the clock struck twelve, and we heard the footsteps coming toward us. Bill was jerked from the floor by something we knew not what. He staggered around the room, fighting at his throat. Something was choking him. After a final effort he fell to the floor, his body limp and life- less. Immediately I heard IT coming toward me, and a voice was saying. “Raymond! If you don’t get up you will be late for school. It’s eight o’clock, and breakfast is ready.” Thank goodness! It was all a dream. —RAYMOND MORRIS, '27. Mrs. De Hart (to lazy student)—Name a parasite. Clotile F.—Me?

Was General Parker, the captain of the Minute Men. one of my ancestors ?” interrupted Doris. “The one who was in the story of ‘Janice Meredith’?” “Yes; he was our great, great, great-grandfather.” The cousin told more and promised to give a copy of her book to Doris. While she was telling the story, the girl was digging the ground aimlessly with the heel of her shoe. “Look here,” she cried, when cousin Maud had finished. “What do you suppose this piece of paper is doing here?” “Let me see it,” said the elder one, “Why, it has your father’s name on it. It’s the lost receipt, I think.” This excited Doris very, very much and she tried to tell her companion all about it. and talked so fast that her cousin couldn’t understand her. “Calm down,” cried Cousin Maud, “and talk so that I can hear what you’re saying.” “Daddy said that he was looking over the receipt and the conductor came by just then. He thinks that the receipt blew out of the window. The railroad is not so very far from here. Oh! Let’s hurry home and show mother! I think she’d be home now,” said Doris, a little more slowly. When they reached home and showed the receipt to Mr. Parker, he was over-joyed. Doris was more than over-joyed because she had given up some- thing for herself to make someone else happy. She could now go to camp and join the Historical Society. Her mother was very proud of her because she had been so unselfish. As Doris’ mother loved and kissed her. she smiled and said, “Palma non sine pulvere.” meaning “No prize without a struggle.” This was the Latin adage Doris had learned in the Latin class. —MARGARET PARKER, ’28.

ALETHENAI According to tradition, Alethenai means “truth”---------but. according to the standards of Paris High School, Alethenai means “loyalty.” This so- ciety, the one and only literary society in high school, is composed of fifty active members with the interests of their Alma Mater at heart. The pur- pose of the society is to arouse interest in the fine arts, to foster school spirit, and to back P. H. S. The meetings arc made interesting with musical se- lections, reviews of current books, events of the day, plays, trials, and biog- raphies of men of importance. Under two sponsors, Miss Brewer and Miss McCallister, and with the earnest endeavors of its officers and the splendid co-operation of its members, the Alethenai is flourishing and meeting the requirements of a true literary club.

Only boys who take Agriculture or have taken it. and are attending Paris High School arc permitted to join the club. The “Ag” Club helps bring the country boys together. At each meeting refreshments are served which add much to the pleas- ure of the meeting. After the business is transacted, a fast basketball game is played.

The squad leaders are John Papadakos, Virgil Bell, Richard Boyd, Eli Borkon, and Alan Stalnaker. The range is still located on the third floor of the High School building, and guns, targets, and ammunition have been furnished to us by the govern- ment. There are certain rules and regulations to abide by, and any member who breaks one of these is to be suspended from the club. Father of a Junior—I don’t think you have done my daughter justice.

Pag e verity- lx 19 2 5 GOOD SCHOLARSHIP LEGION About four years ago Paris High School organized what she chose to call her Good Scholarship Legion. The onlv requisite for membership in this legion was that a student make a grade of ninety in four major subjects, that is, in subjects recited five times a week. The school management has long felt that students who did superior work in their academic subjects should receive some mark of recognition just as we recognize our athletes, our debaters, orators, and others who do a superior order of work. There were two difficulties in the wav—first, the need of some official badge of recognition and second, a means of financing the plan. Finally, a set of buttons so designed as to recognize different periods of membership in the Good Scholarship Legion was devised and the Board of Education came to our relief by contributing the sum of twenty - fivc dollars yearly. These buttons were planned and designed bv Miss Wenz and are given to award membership in the Good Scholarship Legion from one quarter of a year to four years. The colors of the buttons are Orange and Black, the high school colors. The inner circle of the buttons is divided into four fourths. For membership in the Good Scholarship Legion one quarter, the inner circle is one-fourth yellow: the rest white. For membership one se- mester. half is vellow, the rest white; for three quarters’ membership, three- fourths are yellow and the rest white. To indicate a whole year’s member- ship. the entire inner circle is yellow. If the student is a member for two consecutive years he is presented with a bronze button: for three years, a silver button, and for four years, a gold button. Page neventy-seven THE ARENA THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls’ Athletic Association was organized in Paris High School in the fall of 1924 to encourage interest in school and girls’ athletics.

In co-operation with the girls’ gym classes we are planning to have a Gym Review March 13, to show the public the work of the g m classes. —SECRETARY. GYM REVIEW One of the most interesting events of the school year was the Gym Review given by the Girls’ Gymnasium Classes, assisted by the Boys’ Classes, and directed by Miss Emily Beth Doak.

He has made possible the annual gift of a twen- ty dollar gold piece and a gold pin, to he called the Notsuh Ora- torical Prize, and the same manner of gift to be called the Secnarf Scholarship Prize. The Oratorical contest was held in the high school auditorium during the last of May. Lee Strohl, a Senior, who gave “A Plea for Cuba” was awarded first place by the judges and was announced the second annual winner of the coveted prize. To win the Scholarship honor, the student must have been a student at Paris High School for at least three years, and must have the highest scholastic average. Miss Josephine Cockroft, making an average of 95.8. was the winner of the second Secnarf scholarship prize. —MARION WILLIAMS, '25.

Pr-Ke eijthtjr-two 19 2 5 BASKETBALL The Tigers started the season with a nucleus of only three or four ex- perienced players, but by November 17, the date of the first game. Coach New- gent had a team that made up in fight what it lacked in experience. In the first game of the season Paris lost to Kansas on their floor, but neither team nor rooters were in the least discouraged; so the Tigers came back with five straight wins, before the Christmas vacation. New Goshen. Westfield, Mar- shall, and Hume fell before the Orange and Black. With the beginning of the new year the Tigers experienced a slump from which they did not fully recover until the latter part of January, when they again hit their stride and downed Marshall, Danville, and Robinson in one, two, three order. The climax of a successful season came on February 14 in our last home game, when Charleston, our old rival, as yet undefeated and with 16 consecu- tive victories to her credit, was met and vanquished. The Tigers closed the regular season with a victory over Robinson, bringing our total of games won to 12 against 7 lost, which is the best average made by an Orange and Black team in several years. With the passing of the 1924-25 season, three regulars are lost to the Tigers. These men are: Leo Wade, acting captain and winner of a berth on the second all-district team ; Allen Tolliver, star floor guard, and lone survivor of the five that won tournament laurels in 1923: and Cyril Means, high point man and most consistent scorer of the season just passed. The absence of these players will be keenly felt, but in Caylor, Cushman, and E. Tolliver. Paris has the nucleus of a team that should give the best in the valley a fight for honors. In reviewing the season we must not omit to state that the P. II. S. basketball team had fine support from both students and townspeople, and we may without hesitation say that Paris High rooters have done their best. It takes both a team and rooters to make a season a success. Paris had both. Due to the carefulness of our athletic director, Mr. Keith, the Associa- tion was able to entirely pay for the new balcony, which cost about $900.00 and to turn over a balance of approximately $400.00 at the end of the basket- ball season which will be used to purchase football equipment for next year. —ALAN STALNAKER, ’25. BOYS’ PEP CLUB The Boys’ Pep Club, a new organization in Paris High School, was started early in the year for the purpose of forming an organization which was to co-operate with a similar girls’ club, to back the school in all its activities and to instill more pep and spirit into the students. The first enrollment of over fifty boys was augmented by over fifty more before the year came to a close. The attempt to increase the attendance at games and the volume of noise was very successful, for under the “noisy” leadership of “Bill” Baum, the Paris fans became invincible in yelling, and increased the attendance at games considerably. Much of the club’s success must be attributed to the able direction of Mr. Allen, who aided in organizing the club and then guided its destinies through the year. The Pep Club, although it has much more to accomplish, is unquestionably a success, for through its members’ determination and loyalty, the spirit of Paris High has been gradually awakened until it can now proudly stand on a par with any school in the State for pep and steam. —ELI L.

H. S. Gym. The entire town and school were decorated for the occasion. Due to the efficiency of the management the tournament was carried through with machine-like smoothness and the gymnasium was packed to the limit at every session. The best teams in Eastern Illinois competed and the tourney proved the fastest of recent years. Charleston High was doped to win but when Paris decisively defeated Martinsville, dopesters began to revise their sheets. However, later in the day before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a basketball game in this city the Tigers met defeat at the hands of the Charleston five. At the end of the first half the score was tied but in the second half the efforts of the Orange and Black netted only one field goal while Charleston dropped them through the net from all angles. We may proudly remember, however, that the floor work of the Charleston five was not superior to that of our team, that though the breaks were against the Tigers they fought to the finish, and were beaten by a worthy foe. In the semi-finals Metcalf lost to Charleston in the last minute or two of play. Meanwhile Westfield had come to the finals beating Neoga, Hinds- l)oro, and Marshall by large scores. In the finals Charleston was unable to stop the Westfield scoring machine and so went down to defeat.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL oooooo Showing marked advancement from the previous year, the girls of Paris High School proved that basketball can be just as capably played by their teams as by the boys. Beginning in September, under the splendid direction of Miss Emily Beth Doak, better known as “E. B. I).,” the secrets of girls’ rules were carefully ferreted out and earnest practicing began for the class tourney to be held in November. To make the team each student must have attended three-fourths of the practices, be eligible in all studies, and show special ability in her chosen position on the team. An elimination tourney was then played, each class having to compete in six games. The Seniors, as befitting their class rank, won all six of their scheduled games and thus the undisputed right to the championship. The Juniors ranked second, losing only to the Seniors in two hard-fought battles. The Sophomores took third place and the Freshmen fourth. For the first time in the history of our high school, the prowess of girl athletics was recognized, and each student making a team was presented with the team numerals. As a championship award, the Seniors received, besides their numerals, a letter for their tournament victories. Although friendly rivalry existed between the various teams, the main purpose of per- fecting our basketball technique was to create a greater interest in the ath- letics of P. II. S. among the girls, and to develop a strong spirit of sports- manship. We feel that our season has not been wasted for we have created an active Girls’ Athletic Association and by our interested attendance at the scheduled games have helped to make 1924-25 the best and most successful basketball season that Paris High has had in many years. —MARIAN WILLIAMS, ’25. “Mugs” Parrish (in English)—When the queen of Love and Beauty crowned the victor he fell at her feet. I’jur« eighty-five THE ARENA GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB In the fall of 1924 the largest Girls’ Glee Club for years assembled under the leadership of Miss Verna Church. It consisted of eighty girls. Our first public appearance was in “Twilight Alley,” an operetta given by the schools of Paris. The climax of our work under Miss Church was the presentation of “The Gypsy Rover,” a clever musical which was well received by an interested audience. Miss Church then resigned, and was followed by Miss Broadstone. Our only public appearance since then was at the State Farmers’ Institute, at which time we sang “Carmena” and the “Cradle Song.’’ We are now working on the song we expect to sing at the county contest. —M. M. G. THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Through the efforts of our musical instructor, Miss Church, a Boys’ Glee Club, much larger than usual, was formed. About thirty boys answered the call. After preliminary voice testing and technical study, the glee clubs jointly gave an operetta which proved successful in many ways. We were handicapped by the resignation of Miss Church, but it was only a short time until her place was taken i y our present competent instructor, Miss Broadstone. As yet the Boys’ Glee Club has never been large enough or ambitious enough to compete in the annual Edgar County and Charleston meets, but now under the able instruction of Miss Broadstone we feel sure that we shall “bring home the bacon” in both contests. —PHILIP A.

Following the resignation of Miss Church in the middle of the year. Miss Lois Broadstorie was elected to fill her place and we kept on without losing a step. We practice twice a week. We have had occasion to show our talent when the orchestra played for the institute at Nevins and for the operetta which was given by the high school. The personnel is as follows: First Violin Carson Nuckles Ruby Velander Byrtol Easton Second Violin Mildred Buckler Edith Stoddard Mary Coop First Cornet Marvin Hoffman Daniel Roll Second Cornet Paul Vance Nathaniel Whitworth Trombones Joe Hussong Lawrence Dugan Clarinet Harold Hybargar Xylophone Robert Barr Saxophone Lloyd O'Bannon Drums Harold Fuqua Pianist Bernice Fultz Miss Johnson—Nobody ever heard of a sentence without a predicate. Carl Means—I have. Miss J.—What is it? Carl—Thirty days. James Blaker—You’re sure you’re familiar with the ice on this pond? Harold Fuqua—Very; we’ve met a dozen times today. Joseph Marrs—How do you like your math teacher? Lester Soughers—I can’t give him a thing. Joe—I couldn’t either until I started to copy my problems. I’wrc ritchty.nine THE ARENA THE PARIS HIGH SCHOOL BAND Paris High and the entire community should be proud of the High School Band, even though this is the first year of its existence. The band consists of sixteen pieces. The boys furnish their own instru- ments, and the Board of Education furnishes the instructor and director. The instruction and direction was left to Mr. James Morris. On Tuesdays lie conies to the building and instructs the boys on their instruments during the day; then after school he drills the band. Much credit must be given to Mr. Morris, for he has worked hard to make the band a success. The band has not yet secured uniforms, but we hope that some day some progressive citizen of the Paris School District or the Board of Education will buy them for us. The band has not been organized long enough to be able to put on a program, although we played at the District Basketball Tournament on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of March, and we hope soon to be able to play before assemblies. May the Paris High School Band continue to succeed in years to come and be able to cheer our Tigers on to victory. The personnel includes: Mr. James Morris, director; Marvin Hoffman. Daniel Roll, Paul Vance, Richard Boyd, Lawrence Dugan, Joe Hussong, Jack Moore. Lloyd O’Bannon, Clyde Tweedy, Floyd Westerficld, Harold Hy- barger, Russel Tweedy, Robert Barr, Harold Fuqua, and Paul Daniels. —DANIEL F. ROLL, '25. S. S. Teacher—Who was it that killed Goliath? Russell Tweedy (reciting)—George Washington, and when he had chopped it off his papa came up and George said, “Father, I cannot tell a lie— I did it with my little hatchet.” Questions we could answer on a history quiz: 1. What was the duration of the Seven Years’ War? 2. Name one of the leaders of either side in Braddock’s defeat. 3. Where was the Gettysburg Address given ? 4. Name two participants in the French and Indian War. 5. Where was the battle of Bunker Hill fought? 6. Who was president during Lincoln’s administration? Paul Spicer—Your eyes are like the deep blue sea. Clotile F.—Oh, do you really think so? Paul—Yes, they’re watery. Mr. Martin—What you got that string around your finger for? Mr. Moss—My wife put it there to remind me to mail a letter. Red”—Did you post it? Johnny—No, she forgot to give it to me. Life is real, life is earnest, Let us strive to do our best; And, departing, leave behind us Notebooks that will help the rest. Fd Hill—It must be awful to live on a farm. Harlan Watson—Fierce. It’s agonizing to hear the hay mown all day. Page ninety HLunni THE ARENA Class of 1915 Bright, Orleigh, Paris. 111.. Farmer. Bogart, Elbert, Paris, 111., U. O. Colson Co. Benson, Wesley.

A FRESHMAN’S RESOLUTION “I will not waste my time this year,” The Freshman nobly cries, “I will pursue the narrow path That straight before me lies. “I will not burn the midnight oil, Nor yet the gasoline, Hitting sixty-five or more To please some little queen. “But I will work with all my might, With all my youthful power. And, like the busy little bee. Improve each shining hour. “Yes, I am going to study hard, So folks won’t think me dumb; For I intend this coming year To learn a lot, by gum.” Page one hundred seven lobes anb gfoberttStng 19 2 5 When you choose a piano there is one certain way of buying that which best pleases you—that is by careful com- parison. Such comparison should not end with the hearing of instrument played. Two pianos may be widely different 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 details 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 ex- positions—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. HORACE LINK CO. The Store of Furniture Page one hundred nine THE ARENA THE VILLAGE SMITHY UP-TO-DATE Under a costly canopy The village blacksmith sits; Before him is a touring car Broken to little bits, And the owner, and the chauffeur, too. Have almost lost their wits. The village blacksmith smiles with glee As he lights his fat cigar, lie tells his helpers what to do To straighten up the car. And the owner, and the chauffeur, too, Stand humbly where they are. The village blacksmith puffs his weed And smiles a smile of cheer The while his helpers pump the tires And monkey with the gear— And the owner, and the chauffeur, too, Stand reverently near. The children going home from school Look in at the open door: They like to see him make his bills And hear the owners roar, And the chauffeurs weep as they declare They ne’er paid that before. He goes each morning to the bank And puts away his cash : A healthy balance and big Rolls-Royce Help him to cut a dash— But the owner, and the chauffeur, too. Their teeth all vainly gnash. The chestnut tree long since has died. The smith does not repine: His humble shop has grown into A building big and fine. And it bears “Garage” above the door On a huge electric sign. H. C. Martin (after a trying first-hour class)—“Some time ago my doctor told me to exercise early every morning with dumb-bells. Will the class re- port tomorrow before breakfast? Dismissed.” Tip Zimmerley—Oooo-oo every bone in my body aches. Newgent—There are some headache powders in the upper drawer.

Business men, professional men, minis- ters and tradesmen have all responded to the appeal of the Boy Scout Motto, “Be Pre- pared,” and are giving their time to this important work. There is something of the boy in every man. That’s why men find so much pleasure in their scout work. Scouting appeals to the boys because it takes them out into the great out-doors. It developes their body as well as their minds. It takes a red-blooded boy to be a real scout. True happiness comes from serving oth- ers. What better way of serving is there than by helping our boys become good American citizens. Boy Scouts of cAmerica UTTERBACK’S BUSINESS COLLEGE S. W. Cor. Square, Paris, 111.

Freshman Essay—Hens Hens is curious animals; they don’t have no nose nor no teeth nor no ears. They swallow their wittles whole and chew it up in their crops inside of ’em. The outside of hens is generally put into pillers and into feather dusters. The inside of a hen is sometimes filled with marbles and shirt but- tons and sich. A hen is very much smaller than a good many other animals, but they’ll dig up tomato plants more than anything that ain’t a hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs for plum puddings. Hens have got wings and can fly when they get frightened. I cut off a hen’s head with a hatchet and it frightened her to death. One thing you can say for the flivver; it rattles before it strikes. Man’s inhumanity to man makes thousands hesitate at the curb. Charles Menu—1 have an idea. Mr. Allen—Be good to it. It’s in a strange place. Some people are so dumb they think a railroad tie is worn by a train conductor. Mike Sunkel—I saved a girl last nite! Flbon White—How? Mike—f had two and saved one for tonite.
