This is a great holiday and the Parisian spectators are anxiously looking forward to the games and races. The time draws near—it is here. First we see Mr. Moss, our superintendent. The applause is tremendous. Next appears Miss Wenz, our principal, for whom the applause is no less enthusiastic. After the crowd has quieted somewhat who should come upon the scene but all of our faculty. They proudly, in their learned way, march through the arena while the crowd wildly cheers. The seniors, those stately and dignified beings who feel as if they are “sitting on top of the world,” now-approach us. The second of the classes is the juniors, who are proudly thinking that they will soon be seniors, too. Thirdly the sophomores advance toward us. Their brows are wrinkled w ith the thoughts of tomorrow’s Geometry and Caesar. Last but not least, (in number) are the Freshies, who seem to be gradually learning the routine of P. H. S. The classes having gone, we now- await the activities. First of all are the members of the literary societies, the Sirap Sionilli and Freshman Literary Society. Then we see the Good Scholarship Legion march proudly through the arena. Again as we look the Tigeranglers pass, and then the Rifle Club proudly bearing their guns, goes before our eyes. The “Ag” Club and the G.A.A. now-enter. We can hear sw-eet strains of music and soon the P.H.S. orchestra enters. Close behind them are the Roys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. Last of the activities is the Classical Club with its Latin mottoes and classical knowledge. The members of the casts of last year’s Senior and Junior class plays also appear. Following the activities, Coach Glenn, the Tiger-trainer, appears. As he opens the cages, the “Tigers” jump out, eager to fight. They attack their assailants fiercely. Finally looking up and seeing all thumbs turned down, they fight with full force, and victorious, are again put in the cages to await another fight. Again looking into the arena, we see “Rob” Sanders. In a race betw-een the classes of P.H.S. he has been chosen the most popular student. Now- Louise and Miss Melis enter the arena to see that “everything is all right.” Lastly Rill and Orval, janitors, come in to pick up the scraps of paper that have been ''•attered about. The end of this pleasant entertainment has at last come, and I’m sure that the Parisians will never forget it.

Page Thirty-two Senior Glass 2History FT TART and keep going, the motto of the Senior Class, has certainly been n j the guide to all activities of this class from the beginning. Approximately two-thirds of the number starting the courses in January and September of 1924 have kept going until this class of ’28 has made a record that will make its name prominent in the annals of Paris High School. This class has always ranked high in the number of members in the Good Scholarship Legion in the past, but in its last year has led the school. On several occasions members of the Senior Class have led the school in scholarship. Margaret Parker led the school every quarter during the school year of 1925-26, and Carl McGowan led the school during the first quarter of the school year of 1926-27, and the second quarter of 1927-28. Events which have marked the calendar with red letter days during Junior activities were the success of the Junior play, “Cappy Ricks,” one of the most finished products ever produced by a Junior class, and the Junior Banquet, which has been the subject for delightful reflection ever since. Those who have sponsored the activities during the four years' career and consequently should be given special mention are Miss Baldwin—freshman; Mr. Forester—sophomore and junior; and Miss Wenz—senior. A number of the seniors participated in “The Gypsy Rover” and “Gym Review.” The Senior class has figured rather prominently in the organizations of Paris High School, such as the Alethenai, Sirap Sionilli. Tigeranglers, Glee Clubs, Rifle Club, Les Tigres, Classical Club, and the G.A.A. Special mention should be given to those seniors who have won honor for the high school and themselves. Among these are; Raymond Frey, captain of the 1926-27 basketball team, who was voted an all county forward by the officials in charge of that tournament in 1926; Margaret Parker, winner of the Xotsuh in 1927 and the County Declamation in 1925: Ruth Dugan, who brought the prize to Paris from the Eastern Illinois Oratorical Contest in 1925: Eleanor Watson, who won the County Declamation Contest in 1926; Edward Ketchum, Gordon Boling, and Reginald VanDyke, who were participants for Paris in the Triangular debates last year, and Mildred Mills, Frank Langhlin, and Eleanor Watson this year. This class of ’28 has shown that their motto was well chosen, for not only have they carried it through their entire course in high school, but hope their maxim will lead to high endeavors in the future. Page Thirty• three Wl li, the class of 1928, having obtained a full ( ?) mental growth under twy the guidance of the Faculty, having been judged by the Hoard of Education as fit to be graduated into an unsuspecting world, and knowing full well the uncertainties of continued existence during the hectic days of Commencement Week, do now thrust upon the eagerly waiting heirs our conscientiously prepared last will and testament, hereby assuming precedence over all former documents of like nature by us made. ARTICLE I. We will and voluntarily bestow: 1. —To the school—all unpaid bills resulting from our plain and simple Junior Banquet. 2. —To the Board of Education—our sincere thanks for their signatures which they have kindly placed on our diplomas. 3. —To the Faculty—our congratulations on having sponsored through four more or less pleasant years such a brilliant group of master minds. 4. —To the Juniors—one well-used set of caps and gowns. 5. —To the Sophomores—an opportunity to display their histrionic abilities to advantage before the assembled relatives and fond parents. 6. —To the Freshmen—a collection of useless expressions of sympathy received by us on or before Commencement Day. 7. —To the G.A.A.—less congested halls of P.H.S. to facilitate their hiking pro- pensities. ARTICLE II. 1. —I, Byrtol Easton, bequeath my sartorial perfection to “Chuck” Ogle to be used by him to further his feminine conquests. 2. —I, Dick Brown, bestow a few inches of my height to be divided equally among the Freshmen aspirants to basketball fame. 3. —I, Margaret Parker, give my patrician air to Gladys Strohl to be used in a befitting manner. 4. —I, Ruth Hogue, bequeath my distinctive appearance to Georgine Cline. 5. —I, J. C. Henry, bestow my popularity to all who may need it. 6. —T, John Kelsheimer, leave, restoring the assembly to its customary quiet. 7. —I, Wayne Tobias, leave my deductive faculties to Charles Green. 8. —I, Deyo Dugan, bequeath a portion of my winning personality to Charity Jane Slanker. 9. —I, Bob Simpson, give my power to go in and out of the key without losing a note, to Gerald Bandy. Patjc Thirty-four 10. —I, Bob Sanders, bestow my position as the most representative student to Leo Shively, to be held in trust by him for one year. 11. —I, Eleanor Watson, leave a surplus of credits to be used by Chuck Shaw as he sees fit. 12. —I, Ed Ketchum, bequeath my laugh, the bane of every teacher, to Marion Shutzbaugh. 13. —I, Raymond Frey, bequeath my advice concerning military schools to all having aspirations thereto. 14. —I, Carl McGowan, bequeath my vocabulary to Bob Koho to aid him in his composition of sundry epistles to fair maidens. 15. —I, Mildred Buckler, leave my interest in gentlemen to Maude E. Dorsett. 16. —I, Reginald Van Dyke, bequeath my argumentative disposition to Harry Dudley. 17. —I, Jane Papadakos, leave one lock of my curly hair to Maxine McDivitt to be used on Sundays only. 18. —I, Thomas Powers, have already left. 19. —I, Frank Tweedy, bequeath one well-worn list of anecdotes to John Young to be used for the continued edification of the teachers. 20. —I, Frances Sherer, leave my gentle and unassuming manner to Charlotte Stoneburner. 21. —I, John Purcell, leave with Florence Burnett. 22. —I, Willis Bercaw, bequeath the Buick to my brother with sincere hopes that he is able to buy new tires. 23. —I, Gertrude Carnahan, leave happily, knowing full well that Byrtol is doing likewise. 24. —I, Martha Morris, leave all lost articles to my teachers as souvenirs. Having in the above manner disposed of all our worldly possessions and the appurtenances thereto, we do now designate as the executrix of this instrument Miss Carolyn Wenz, who has acted as our kind and efficient advisor during the climax of our high school days, in acknowledgement of which we bequeath to her our affectionate good will and appoint her to serve without bond. We, the Class of 1928, do hereby set our hand, and seal this paper with a pledge of everlasting friendship.

Since then some new names have been added and some few erased from the class records. Perhaps we were as other freshmen, green and untutored, victims of the practical jokes, the cause for ridicule. However, we consoled ourselves with the thought that everyone ahead of us had been freshmen at some time, and so we entered into the school activities as eagerly as any in the school. The next year saw a broadening of the scope of our interests. We contributed a cheer leader, took an active part in school athletics, gave our talented members to the glee clubs and orchestra, and began to acquire that feeling of superiority on which the Seniors have a monopoly. N e were sopohomores. But now, gaze upon the Junior class! A class! '1 he class! Class full of pep and ideals, doing great things and advancing toward its goal, caps and gowns. We look forward, as every Junior does, to the best class play ever presented and to one of the most brilliant Junior proms ever staged in the history of Paris High School. May our hopes he fulfilled and our dreams come true! Gkorgk Easton ’29. Wanted: A grade in chemistry.—Several Juniors. Miss Dayton: 1 take great pleasure in giving you 90% in English.

The students of Paris High did not seem to appreciate the present, and for a few days the members were teased unmercifully. But the class soon fell into the routine of school work, and being only an average class, had a few of its members on the honor roll and quite a few who did not make it. On September first, 1927, the class of 1930 returned to school, but instead of being an awkward, stumbling lot, the class returned marching to the music of popping vest buttons. This stage in the development of the class did not last long, and they soon fell back to the regular school routine. It will remain in this state until September first, 1930, when it will come again to Paris High with its chest swelled beyond all bounds. Martin Phelan ’30.

The stairs creaked and I listened. They creaked again, and I felt my heart come into my mouth. I distinguished footsteps, and my hair began to rise and cold chills to run up and down my spinal column. The footsteps proceeded with nerve-wracking effect to the top of the stairs and went into the room opposite mine. They stopped, and after listening awhile, I decided I had been dreaming. Without any warning the footsteps started again, and came across the room, across the hall, to the very threshold of my room. I raised myself up on my trembling arm and prepared to oppose the intruder with shrill screams. Just as I was about to disturb the “midnight silence” the footsteps started down stairs, and I refrained. The night-prowler was about two-thirds of the way down the the stairway before I recognized the footsteps of my' dog. I lay down much relieved, but with a heart beating one hundred forty', and with my hair still in an upright position. Murphy Dorris ’31. yin gxcMse The Freshman enters, five minutes late. Goes to the office—he has to wait. All the time he’s standing there. Chewing his pencil or brushing his hair. He thinks, “O, what shall I say?” Then comes the thought that saves the day'. Of all those entering he is last, And he finds his courage ebbing fast. Mustering his courage, with a silly grin He enters the office. “Where have yrou been?” “I—I—I—I—I’m late for class. Please may I have a permit to pass?” “But where have you been. I have asked y'ou?” “I—I—I—broke the lace that was in my shoe.” “Well, don’t let this thing be repeated.” He grabbed the permit and quickly retreated. And thought that he had a master mind— ’Twas a case of the principal being kind.

Now that is a thing of the past and we are so accustomed to these premises that we can state the location of any room to an upper-classman without embarrassment. Our class is the largest Freshman Class in the history of P.H.S. We have a representation of about thirty-five per cent in every club and athletic organization that has been established. We are proud to say that enough football material may be had from our class to later compose a team that we hope will bring honors to our beloved Alma Mater, P.H.S. Many of our number have striven and succeeded to make the required grades that they might have a place on the honor roll. We will try to the very best of our ability to make a name for our class and cause it to flourish always in our school’s history. The future only can reveal to us the outcome of our hopes.

Due to the efforts of a few of these interested citizens, the State Legislature in 1869 issued a special charter granting the Paris I'nion School District the right to establish and operate free public schools, including both grade and high school. The high school proper was organized in 1871, and the first class was graduated in 1875. In the same year the Union School District purchased the old Methodist Seminary ami erected a new building, which was named for Colonel Jonathan Mayo, who had donated the site to the Seminary. Mayo was used for both grade and high school purposes until 1908. when the present site was purchased. The building erected at the time soon proved inadequate for the needs of the community. Again the public spirited citizens met the demands of the day and voted to enlarge the building by the addition of the sections which include the gymnasium, auditorium, science laboratories, and provisions for domestic science and art. Now Paris possesses a high school of which any city of its size should be proud. The faculty of Paris High School is composed of some twenty-five very able instructors, most of whom have college degrees. Where yesterday the High School was only able to teach a few courses and have only a very limited number on the faculty, now it is able to give the student a variety of courses under the supervision of able instructors, all of whom are specialists in their particular lines. The advancement in education has been noticeable, and it is hoped that the advancement will be still more marked in the future. R. Van Dykk ’28 THE NEW MAYO SCHOOL ((57Je Old THigli School By I)r. E. O. Laugh lin I meant to go back sometime—I always meant to go back; ’Twas just a few blocks down the street and but a few years down the track Of hurrying Time—not so far— I meant to go back in the Fall. In the season of reminiscence, the season one best can recall. ’Neath the haze of dream-tinted skies and the maze of yellowing trees The shades of departed companions, and revel in memories. ’Twas just a few years—a few blocks—1 meant to go back sometime. With a silent prayer for each sacred stair, I meant to go back and climb To the room of the dear old high school that waited patiently there For the truants that wandered away and never seemed to care. For the truants that learned and almost forgot, as they went their worldly way. But never have quite forgotten, and meant to go back some day. 1 meant to go back to the school room, and take my seat as of yore And answer the roll call with “present” and con the old lessons once more. And hark to the ghostly voices of teacher and classmates and friends, And kneel at the altar of Learning—Oh I meant to make amends For the careless ways of those careless days, a prodigal home again. Grown sick of the husks of fortune and the wearisome ways of men. I meant to go back—but I cannot. The ravaging pests of fire Have pillaged the shrine of Remembrance and made of the school house a pyre. ’Twas but a few blocks, a few years—but now an eternity Of space and of time intervenes, and the drooping snowclad tree And the sky of gray and the pathless way of Winter’s deleting reign And the futile wish and the pang of regret and memory remain.

Pape Fifty eight “When shall we three meet again, In thunder, lighting or in rain?” N a contest sponsored by the Arena Staff to determine the student who, in the judgment of the student body was the most representative of P.H.S., the honor went to Robert Sanders, a Senior. The winner is very popular with his classmates and has been an enthusiastic participant in various activities throughout his entire career in school. His attitude toward the school has been exemplary. As sponsors of the contest the Staff is extremely gratified not only because Robert is of our Class, but because we feel that the student body has displayed a true appreciation of the ideals of P.H.S. by their creditable selection. (V)he (jood Scholarship £egion HC. Good Scholarship Legion serves as a con-stant inspiration to the diligent and ambitious student, and a goal that is well worth attaining. It is quite apparent that each member of such a conspicuous and illustrious order as this is a most firm and ardent believer in the age old adage, “The world judges a person not by what he can do, but by what he does do.” The Good Scholarship Legion has served a most wonderful purpose in creating such a large degree of interest in the educational side of our school life. This order is thriving, its membership is increasing, and consequently Paris High School is the center of a crusade to graduate better students. As prophetic of the future, I predict that Paris High School will be proud of that element of students that have been so prominent scholastically. Any student who makes an average of 90 or more in four major subjects is eligible to membership in this order. Buttons are presented quarterly to those students who have qualified, and a bronze button is presented to those who have been a member of the Legion for two years. A three year membership gives a silver button and for four years a gold pin is awarded. Last Spring the First Annual Good Scholarship Legion Banquet was held. Any student who had been a member of the Honor Roll during the first three quarters of the year 1926-27, or the last quarter of the year of 1925-26 was eligible to attend this gathering.

These prizes have proved conducive to better work in their respective fields and reflect much credit on their donor. One of these, the Secnarf Scholarship Prize, is awarded to the Senior who has the highest scholastic average at the completion of the entire four years' work. The winner in 1927 was Miss Betty Lou Hunter with an average of 94.59. Miss Hunter graduated with an admirable record of remarkable achievements behind her, one of the greatest of which was her selection by the student body as being the most representative student of P. H. S. The Xotsuh Prize for proficiency in oratory went to Miss Margaret Parker. Each of these prizes consists of twenty dollars and a gold pin. but their value as an incentive to the students is infinitely greater.

Being an event which comes but once a year, it was quite colorful, and met with the hearty approval of all present. The room was decorated in red, and the favors and place cards carried out this color. The dinner, consisting of roast pork, potatoes, gravy, peas, salad, ice cream, and wafers, was served by the Domestic Science class.

It has accom-I Q plished its one outstanding aim in a most marvelous and splendid manner, and in doing this the club has been an honor and a credit to Paris High School, 'fhe purpose of this organization is to create an active interest in the excellent pastime of debating, and as a consequence to develop material for the two varsity debating teams. The club was highly honored last year by having four of its members on the rosters of the two school teams, and every indication at present seems to point to the fact that the Tigeranglers will be well represented on the two teams this year. It is also the aim of this lively group to develop the quality of self-confidence in each and every one of its members. We, the Tigeranglers, understand that the quality of self-confidence is most essential to our well being. After developing self-confidence in each of its members, this organization endeavors to develop to the fullest extent in each person his power of speech and also to give him an understanding of the fundamental and basic principles of parliamentary procedure. This club was organized in 1926 under the supervision of Mr. Shuler. It became the successor to the old Physticuph Club, which has been dormant in P. H. S. for several years. A new constitution was formed and adopted. At the election of officers held in the spring of 1927, the following were elected for the year of 1927-1928: President. Gordon P oling: Vice-President. Chester Stone: Secretary-Treasurer, Reginald Van Dyke.

I simply can’t realize that it was three years ago when I booked reservations on this grand old boat. I must tell you about everything. We promenade on the deck every day testing our knowledge of Latin, and the tirst Monday in every month we assemble in the lounge room for an evening of fun and education. We have plays; papers about the old Roman generals; the cutest Latin or English proverbs; games, and the best musical and dramatic talent sailing. The first year out we all donned regular Roman togas and had a banquet. No, I’ll admit we didn’t have Roman dishes or eat in Roman fashion, but we did have a Roman wedding. Last year we didn’t have the feast, so we’re all cherishing the idea for next spring. Miss 'Fate and Miss Hannah are pilots, and with Miss Wenz as lighthouse keeper, we never lose our course like those famous Trojans did. Sometimes it storms and waves of discouragement almost sink us, but with life there’s hope! At our annual election we all voted for John Huffman as Captain; Martha Parker, first mate; George Easton, coxswain, and Maude E. Dorsett, purser— yes, we do have a few pennies once in a while. Sue, can’t you come with us next year? The fare, a working knowledge of Latin, isn’t too far above your scholastic pocketbook. I know. There are over a hundred on the passenger list now, but lots of them will transfer to the ship. Life, at our next stop. Better think it over and write me soon, for this search for knowledge of those old Romans is very interesting. “Gobs” of love. Eleanor Watson, ’28 Page Sixty-eight (Jreshman Jitter ary Society f )ARLY in the school year at the suggestion of Miss Wenz and under the fC) direction of Miss Margaret Jane Cretors, the Freshmen were given an op- portunity to form a Literary Society of their own. F'ifty Freshmen responded to the invitation. At our meetings we attempt to increase our knowledge of foreign conditions and also our own nation’s affairs. We sometimes have book reviews, extemporaneous speeches, and debates. Much talent has been discovered among our members and we hope to use it well in the future. We will do our best to make the organization such a success that each member will hold in his memory always the pleasures and lessons it has brought.

Pape Sixty-nine he cI{if!e Qlub Rifle Club is a very active organization of Paris High School. It was IQ organized in 1921 and is sponsored by the National Rifle Association of America. This year it is being supervised by a Senior, Frank Tweedy. This club is open to boys of the age of sixteen and above, and as the number that can be accommodated is limited, the first twenty-five boys that pay the dues of fifty cents each become members of the club. The twenty-five boys divided into squads of five, and thus each of the five squads have the privilege of using the range one day each week. The shells are furnished by the government, which also furnishes the rifles. The rifle range is located on the third floor, where the young marksmen fire at the target, which is seventy-five feet distant from the gun. The purpose of this organization is to teach the proper use and care of a gun. During the year there are some very good scores made and early in the spring a tournament is held to determine the best marksman. Several medals are given to the persons making the highest scores, thus making target practice an interesting sport. The officers elected this year are as follows: President..................................Frank Tweedy Vice-President.............................Edward Ketchum Secretary-Treasurer........................Carl Kraemer Carl Kraemkr, ’28 Page Seventy Today is the tomorrow we worried so much about yesterday. ENTHUSIASM, as well as talent, accounts for the fact that the Girls’ Glee fa Club took first place at the Edgar County Meet, singing “By the Waters of Minnetonka,” and also second place at the Eastern Illinois High School League at Martinsville. Under the direction of Miss Ethel Hougham, the Glee Club has presented programs for assemblies, Farmers’ Institute, and Teachers’ Institute. The feature of the year was the production of the operetta, “Windmills of Holland.” It is hoped that this good work will continue and that a precedent will be established for the Glee Clubs of Paris High.

It is first, educational. One meeting a month is devoted to discussions relating to some important phase of farming. Secondly, the Ag Club is trying to foster clean and healthy entertainment and recreation. To that end the Club maintains a basket ball team made up of members only, and one meeting night a month is devoted to basket ball.

With the aid of Miss Sleadd, who is our sponsor, we have accomplished more this year than ever before. A hiking club has been organized and every Tuesday and Thursday a number of girls go on a three or four-mile hike after school. The basket ball season was a great success and promised strong teams in the future. The season was closed with a tournament m which eight teams entered. A banquet was given in honor of the teams. Volley ball season followed and after eight or ten more weeks of practice a tournament will be held determining the best team. Then last, but not least, comes baseball. We also are going to sponsor the “May Fete” this year. We have decided to send six girls to camp and pay their expenses according to the number of points each has. The girl having the most points will have all of her expenses paid. Our social chairman has charge of the banquets and all social events of the G. A. A. To start out with, every member had the privilege of enjoying an overnight hike to Steidl’s Cabin at Twin Lakes. The one purpose of this was to give the Freshmen their informal initiation which offered enough fun for every one, Freshies included. Our purpose is to create an interest in girls’ athletics and gymnasium work, and to promote good health and school standing.

The attendants remained seated about the flower-laden throne during the entire performance. The dances and acrobatic work which followed bore signs of talent and training.

Well, the Class of '28 proved to a doubting world their ability . ties and talents, when, on Friday, April 1, 1927, they presented in the High School Auditorium the character comedy, “Gappy Ricks,” to a crowded house. The play was a success financially and was greatly appreciated by the audience. The acting was especially good and caused much favorable comment. The story had to do with an eccentric old man engaged in the shipping business, who, until the advent of a pertinacious rival in the person of Matt Peasley, had had everything his own way. However, his daughter was attracted by the young merchant and offered him several lucky tips which brought success to the partners. The office stenographer also had a love affair with a young man of the English type who had been sent to the company to learn the business. The actors were coached by Miss Baldwin and Mrs. Coady, to whom is due a great deal of credit. Lights and scenery were effectively managed by Willis Rercaw. Gast of Gharacters Alden P.

Pape Eighty-one junior-Senior c.'Banquet 1927 N view of the fact that the Junior-Senior Banquet of the year 1927 was to the majority of the present Seniors the outstanding event of that school year, it might be well briefly to sum up the most important phases of it. The Banquet itself, that is the partaking of nourishment, was perhaps the feature of the evening most enjoyed by the majority of those present, and it is a fact that the chicken was actually served hot. TKe menu consisted of the following items: Fruit Cocktail, Chicken a la King, Potatoes au Gratin, String Beans, Spring Salad, French Dressing, Hot Rolls, Strawberry Preserves, Cheese Straws, Brick Ice Cream, Angel Food Cake, Coffee, Mints—a most excellent dinner indeed! After every one had enjoyed the dinner the “Events of the Evening’’ followed immediately. The toastmaster, otherwise known as Bob Simpson, introduced the first speaker of the evening, Carl McGowan. Carl started the ball rolling in an enviable and quite inimitable fashion to say the least. After he had made his little bow the Reverend Grummon followed him with the Invocation. Then in turn. Master John Huffman welcomed the Class of ’27 with one of the kind that rings true. The Senior President, Edmund Barnes, responded most tactfully to the welcome of his under classman. Then at the precise moment, Miss Betty Lou Hunter enchanted every one present with her singing. A member of the faculty, namely Mr. Hunter, followed Betty Lou with the most amusing talk of the entire evening and was the direct cause of many gales of laughter. Of course the evening would have lacked the proper atmosphere of dignity if it had not been for the enlightening talk of Mr. Moss. However, that atmosphere was present in a very pleasing degree. It was then the great pleasure of all present to hear Miss Eleanor Watson give a few details about each and every member of the Senior class, which at that time was in the process of matriculation. The last speaker on the program, but by no means the least, was Robert Sanders himself, who bade farewell to the class of '27. the class who was soon to leave in order to make room for a more industrious group of individuals. This speech concluded the formalities of the evening and matters of an entirely different sort soon followed. After the last table was cleared away and thrown into the hall, the Hotel Wolford Orchestra of Danville furnished music of that irresistible variety, and all present who could dance at all. or thought that they could, had a most pleasant time moving about to the rhythm of the music which completely filled the gymnasium. It can be truthfully said that the whole affair was a complete success from start to finish. Page Eightytxco ur School Cpolice S( IVING to the overcrowded conditions in the various grade schools in Paris I J brought about by the Mayo tire, it has been necessary to house the first three grades of the Mayo district in the basement of the High School during the past year. Since our building is located on a state highway, and at the intersection of two busy city streets, the traffic about the building is heavy during all hours of the day. Each school day ninety small children are forced to cross the streets in order to get to school. To safeguard these little ones, Mr. Moss appointed a number of high school lads to serve in the capacity of boy police to direct traffic at the intersection of Main and Madison streets, when they are going to and from school. The boys were given police power by the city. Two boys at a time take their places at certain periods of the day and stop traffic in all directions at the intersection as the children cross the streets in safety. The young police are provided with a broad white shoulder strap and belt, a badge, and police whistle. Those who have served faithfully in this capacity are J. C.

The Dutch costumes, a real windmill, and the clatter of wooden shoes made the operetta seem more realistic. The operetta, consisting of two acts, gives a most colorful picture of Dutch life, and the American, Bob Yankee, attempts to install an electric “toot engine” to replace the old mill. Of course, the love for the old mill is overpowering, and Mynherr Hertogenbosch explains that it is not that they love the American less, but only that they love the old mill more.

The game was played on a muddy field, which prevented runs of any distance. A strong defense was displayed by both teams. The Tigers showed up well in the game with great improvement over last year both offensively and defensively. VILLA GROVE 28—PARIS 0 'I'lie Tigers did not show up quite as well in this game as in the Martinsville game. Paris did not gain much yardage against the strong Villa Grove line. However, they displayed a strong defense many times when Villa Grove threatened to score. T X 6' Page Eighty-nine HINDSBORO 0—PARIS 39 This was our first home game and it proved to he a very interesting one. The Tigers gained most of their yardage by long end runs. Hindsboro could do nothing against our line. PALESTINE 26—PARIS 7 At the beginning of the game it looked as if Paris was going to come out with the long end of the score, but in the second half the powerful Palestine offense began to work and the hard-fighting Tigers were unable to stop it. CHARLESTON T. C. 0— PARIS 7 These two teams were about evenly matched and fine work was done by both. However, the Tigers proved to be the stronger and put over a touchdown in the second quarter by the aerial route, adding the extra point in the same way. The honors for the rest of the game were about even. ARCOLA 0— PARIS 7 Areola faced a bunch of fighting Tigers that recalled memories of the great team that represented Paris during Bernie Shively’s last year. The game was replete with thrills and was featured by the hard fight put up by both sides. For the second consecutive Saturday the victory came to Paris bv well-executed forward passes. The forward wall of the Tigers rose to great heights in throwing back the fierce thrusts of the fleet Areola backs, and the Paris backfield functioned with precision and a power that was not to be denied. This was by far the best game that Paris has taken part in for years. OAKLAND 7—PARIS 0 Paris fought hard and played good football in this last game with Oakland, our annual Thanksgiving Day rivals. The Tigers threatened to score many times throughout the game, but the breaks were against them and Oakland, by virtue of a single touchdown, maintained their long string of wins against Paris. Coach Glenn, in his first year here, succeeded in building a very strong team and had a successful season. The football outlook for P. H. S. in 1928 is very bright. Page Ninety freshman football fOR the first time in history Paris had a separate Freshman football squad. ' p The squad numbered about twenty-seven throughout the season and were under the able tutelage of Mr. Harry Hunter, who gave them a thorough training in the fundamentals of the game, which will be of great help to them when they become varsity men next year. Some real “finds” were uncovered who will probably see much service on the teams of the coming years. The Freshmen, captained by Bill Cushman, played two games during the season. One was with the Marshall reserves and the other was with the regular team of Charleston High School. A real aptitude for the game was displayed by all the players in both of these contests, which gave rise to very optimistic hopes to all the football fans of Paris. J. C.

Raymond Frey Frey was our fleet-footed hack who played a good game both offensively and defensively. Frank Tweedy Frank Tweedy was one of the most steady players on the team and missed but few tackles. Carl McGowan “Speed” was a very dependable player and gave a good account of himself as a lineman. Elmkr Tolliver This was Tolliver’s fitst year in football. He was one of our best backfield men. Page Ninety-two Bill Mattingly Mattingly was one of,our veteran ends and showed g o o d football ability throughout the season. Paul Ward W ard was a powerful line plunger and could be depended upon where a gain was needed. Bob Koho Bob was a good line player and had all the qualities of a good football player. He could be depended upon to gain yardage. Dick Brown Brown was a dependable nan in our backfield. 11 is loss will be keenly felt next year. Jok Murphy Joe played a creditable game in the line and could always be depended upon when someone was needed to stop a play. Pafic .Vi n cty-1 h rcc John Englum Englum proved to l e one of our most powerful line plungers. Johnnie’s work next year is sure to mean much to the team. Clifford Arbuckle This was Arbuckle’s first season in football hut his playing was that of a veteran. Carroll Henson Carroll showed good foot-hall ability this year and will he of great value to the team next year. Eddie Gillum Eddie proved a valuable man to his team although this was his first year. Leo Shively Shively was one of our most consistent linemen and was certainly a genius at blocking the hole. Page Ninety-four Rill Vangilder Vangilder, another veteran end, could be depended upon to stop all plays that came his way. Ray Wallace A dependable player especially in making end runs. Ray missed but few tackles that came his way. Max Huffman Max was a very valuable man to his team and the opposing team was unable to make any gain through him. Eugene Sullivan Sullivan served as a valuable lineman and was good at getting his man.

And this is an “educated crowd That acts the fool in a manner loud. It makes one doubt that the human race Has risen—can rise—above beastdom base! Strange, I don’t think of these matters, though, Unless we lose—or the game is slow. y Sing a song of poetry— It isn’t in our line; But make the song a football cheer. And then see how we shine.

Paris trailed the Brocton five in the last quarter by one point with only a minute and forty seconds to play, but fast accurate playing won the game for the Tigers. i'ape Ninety-seven BROCTON 14—PARIS 17 Paris showed improvement in floor work and basket shooting in this game. The Brocton team was unable to get shots and had to depend upon long shots for their scoring. CHARLESTON T.C. 8—PARIS 18 The team fought hard in this game and won the victory. Charleston had a good team, but they were unable to solve the offense and defense played by the Tigers. CLINTON 34— PARIS 15 Here Paris met their first defeat of the year. All through the game the Tigers were fighting for the ball, and they never gave up until the final period was ended. CHARLESTON 7—PARIS 28 In this contest Paris out-played her opponent. At no time during the game was Charleston ahead. KANSAS 20—PARIS 15 The Kansas team won a desperately fought game from the Tigers by a score of 20 to 15. The team during the final period of play staged a brilliant rally but were unable to overcome the Kansas lead. REDMON 25—PARIS 24 A basket scored in the final minutes of play gave a victory to the Redmon five. From beginning to end it was anybody’s game, with the Tigers working the ball in and out of the Redmon defense for score, only to lose it when Red-mon’s men did the same thing to them. KANSAS 23—PARIS 20 This game between Paris and Kansas was featured by a hard-driving, flashing, offensive play on the part of both teams. However, after the half, the Tigers outscored their opponents, but were unable to win. —t - Page Ninety-eight CHRISMAN 15—PARIS 13 This game was a battle all the way through with the Orange and the Black fighting valiantly to maintain their defense against the Chrisman five. Never did more than a point or two separate the two teams. CLINTON 38—PARIS 20 Paris outplayed the Clinton five the first half and had the Hoosiers tied about the end of the half. In the last Paris was outplayed by Clinton. GEORGETOWN 16—PARIS 10 The Tigers were defeated again by the Georgetown five, but not by a decisive score. The Tigers were outplayed most of the game, being unable to work their offense or defense. MARSHALL 15—PARIS 12 (Casey Tourney) This was a very slow game, which was featured by fumbling the ball and poor playing by both teams. KANSAS 28—PARIS 16 (County Tourney) The Paris Tigers again played the fast Kansas five in the fourth game of the county tournament, and again were unable to overcome the Kansas score. CHARLESTON 18—PARIS 19 The Tigers broke their losing streak in the Charleston game. The Paris team showed great improvement in their brand of basket ball. REDMON 23—PARIS 37 The team finished the season by playing one of their best games. Both teams scored a great deal, but the Tigers were the victors.

ATHI.IJTIC MANAGERS Interscholastic Basketball tournament o E Interscholastic Basket Ball Tournament, which took place in the latter f Q part of March, 1927, while not a huge success financially, came up to the expectations of all who witnessed the hard-fought games. The opening game, between the Juniors and the Sophomores, doped to be the best of the tourney, was carried off in the last minute by the scrapping Sophomore team by the count of 10 to 9. The next bout played between the scraggly Seniors and the Freshmen furnished more amusement than education. The Seniors were bestowed the laurels upon their 16-to-14 victory. The victory of the final game was annexed without much difficulty, giving the Sophs a clear title to a blue and white pennant. In a consolation game of the Frosh and the Juniors the green men were utterly swamped and were compelled to yield their hopes of third place to the better team. John R.

Rae Colson to Paris High School in 1925. This trophy is in the shape of a silver football and is symbolic to the aspiring school athletes of all that which goes to make athletics worth while. This recognition is not awarded merely for playing skill, but rather for the various qualities which constitute true sportsmanship. The following are the qualifications advanced by the donor to be used in making the selection: 1. Courtesy to opponents on and off the floor. 2. Courtesy to officials and respect for their decisions. 3. Willingness to accept coach’s orders; general attitude in which he accepts reprimands and suggestions. 4. Fighting spirit and morale in defeat or victory; attitude before, during, and after a game. 5. Willingness to sacrifice personal honors for the benefit of the team as a whole. 6. Value to team as an all-round player. 7. Adherence to training rules and clean living generally during entire school year. 8. Scholastic standing. Last year Raymond Bennett was selected as the one most nearly fulfilling the above qualifications. He made a name for himself by his sterling playing, which will be long remembered by followers of Paris High School athletics. The initial name to appear on the trophy was that of Lawrence Caylor. He was a real sportsman in every sense of the word. The selection of Carl McGowan as the third name to be placed on the Good Sportsmanship Trophy is a commendable continuance of the high standards used in the selection of the first two. Fairness to all, superior athletic ability, and a scholastic standing second to none arc “Speed’s” qualifications for the honor which has been given him.

The teachers never told the children to pick up their heels or that their “feet made them sick.’’ You could sharpen your pencil or use the dictionary any time you wanted to because your heels were so refined.
