The Arena, had its beginning at Paris High School in 1910. It had, and still has as its purpose, the task of serving as a record in which the events of the school year are revealed. In the year 1911 the publication was called the “Pee Aitch Ess.” However since that time, with the exception of the “Clarion.” a quarterly magazine which replaced it in 1915-16, The Arena has been edited yearly. Much of its success has been due to the helpful co-operation of Miss Wenz and our faculty advisors. During the nineteen years of the book's growth Miss Ella Slemmons, Mrs. Mildred Boland Dodds. Miss Eflie Pansier, Miss Elsia Tate, and Miss Zulu Z. Wright, teachers in the high school, have kindly taken the re- sponsibility of producing The Arena.

Gulls gracefully soaring— Gliding to the water— Then quickly rising and out of sight. Rugged cliffs behind; Soft balmy breezes, A languid, dreamy atmosphere— Carrying one on mystic llights, Making one wish to soar high, Following the gulls to mysterious realms. Frances Gorman ’29 Pope Twenty-One Courses of Study - NARIS HIGH SCHOOL offers quite a complete course of study both to young people desiring commercial work and to students preparing for J college. Four years of English are required and in these four years under the direc- tion of six English teachers all work necessary for college entrance is completely covered. Two languages are taught. Latin and French. Two years of Latin are re- quired from students taking a college preparatory course, and two more may l e elected. Only two years of French are taught. Four history courses, ancient, modern and medieval, world, and American, each extending throughout the entire year, are offered in our high school. Ameri- can history is required in the fourth year; at least one year of European history is required in preparation for this. Students usually elect two years of history. Commercial students take a year of world history instead of the two years of an- cient and modern. In close connection with American History is civics, a half year subject which is required. A half year of economics and sociology is also offered. In the field of science our school offers a year of chemistry, one of physics, and a half year each of botany and zoology. A year of general science is required of all Freshmen. In the mathematics course a year of algebra and a year of geometry arc re- quired. A half year of advanced algebra and a half year of solid geometry are also offered. The commercial student has a varied array of subjects from which to choose, including spelling, penmanship, typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, salesmanship, commercial law, geography, and arithmetic. Mechanical drawing, manual train- ing and agriculture also belong in this list of vocational subjects, as do cooking and sewing. A year of art, covering a variety of fields, is offered to those interested in such work. Music is also taught through girls’ and boys’ choruses and to a high school orchestra. The benefits of a class in public speaking are extended to students of our school if enough are interested to make such a class worth while. Two years of physical training are required of all students. r CLA$$e$ Many things Xokomis taught him.” Page Twenty-Three Henry S.

I’age Thirty-Four Senior Glass 3-iistonj I Mater of ours, entered the current of activities, chewed gum clandestinely, and helped till seats whenever there was an assembly. That was 1926 and they were Freshmen. Delightful! Now go on with the story. Now, whoever would have guessed that was the beginning of this notorious, I mean illustrious, class of '29? As sophomores, we were exceptional, much more so than any preceding class. Ahem! It would be too modest foj- me to say we weren’t—and entirely unexpected. Am 1 right or am I wrong? You’ve heard of “those brilliant Juniors;” eh. wot? Ah. (and the old man heaved a reminiscent sigh), we were the brilliant among brilliant. Few classes ever contained more talent and ability. Why not mention our Sue (Miss Johnson, if you wish) taking first in the County Oratorical Contest: Alice Lemon and “Barney” Easton taking honors in the E. I. League : our sturdy athletes carrying off medals, cups, and what-not: the enthusiastic reception of an unequaled class play; and various other successful Junior activities? Well, why not? The end of a crowded and eventful year saw the presentation of that gorgeous spectacle, the Junior banquet. How will we ever forget it? Perhaps there wasn't such a noticeable splash when we lit. but now—ah. para- balou! We are right in the middle of the puddle. The respect of the entire stu- dent-body and even of some of the faculty, the homage and veneration long due us, is here. Forsooth, we wear our honors lightly and walk ab it just as if we were of common clay, losing pencils and preparing alibis for unprepared lessons. The honor of inaugurating a school paper is ours, among others, and from our ranks has come the editor. Joe Murphy. The class of '29 is small, but who can judge worth by size? And now, as we turn away, not to Ik entirely forgotten we hope, there is regret and even sadness in our goodbyes. Another class has come and all too quickly gone. Farewell to the Seniors, Class of '29. George Easton. '29 Paye Thirtv-Piv almost any desk. 2. To the Faculty—sorrow and grief at seeing so innocent and unsuspecting a band thrust upon the mercies of a cruel and heartless world. 3.

THAT LITTLE PLACE CALLED “HOME” Hidden from view in a lonesome spot Where it’s summer all the year through, It’s the homiest spot on earth to me Though it may seem dreary to you. It’s a little log cabin that’s hidden from view Where I’ve sat in the cabin door: It’s the most homelike spot I know. And how could I wish for more?

E. the Junior Class of 1929. must abandon our robes of dignity for a few minutes of joyous recollection of our mysterious freshmen and sopho- more adventures. A happy bunch of freshmen were we that entered Paris High School on the first of September, 1926. We encountered many embarrassing moments (usually the result of an excess amount of curiosity) before we fell quietly in the rear of the grand four years’ march through high school. Many of our young Latin students joined the Classical Club. Some of our talented students were discovered through the Classical Club activities. Several Latin plays were sponsored by the Classical Club in which some of the freshmen members had a distinguished part. As sophomores we began to think earnestly of social and athletic functions that are intimately associated with our schedule of learning. Consequently we gave our gifted members to the glee club, orchestra, basketball, and football. The Good Scholarship Legion claimed a number of our most brilliant members. When the carnival season arrived we enthusiastically contributed several stunts. Among these the sophomore girls' glee club proved to be skillful enter- tainers by amusing a large audience with various modern selections played by their toy orchestra. We are daily getting closer to the end of our four years' march through high school. Several of our class members cleverly succeeded in helping make Miss Hougham’s Cherry Blossom 'rime,” the successful operetta of the year. The Junior Class has taken part in the most interesting event that has oc- curred this year which is the creation of the new school paper. The Junior ban- quet and our class play loom before us and may these be as brilliant as our ex- pectations. Mary L. Harrison, ’30.

PARRISH GEORGE DOLE President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sophomore Glass History 0N a morning in early September of 1927, Paris High School received with open arms the most important contribution in its history. This contribu- tion was the class of 1931. Since that memorable morning, our class has “covered itself with glory” by reaching creditably the second or Sophomore Step of the Ladder of High School which leads to the Diploma, the reward of our labors. We congratulate ourselves at having arrived safely at our present posi- tion in spite of many obstructions such as books, examinations, and grades. This time next year we hope we will have attained the Junior Step, when the Diploma will be almost within our grasp. We are striving valiantly to gain this step, for each step requires long, hard labor. Although we have profited by our Freshman training, we are still somewhat inexperienced, or, as some may say, still green. But we think that term is unfair; we aren't Freshmen anymore. By this time the teachers have recognized our genius, too much of which is, alas, misled. But we hope we aren’t so bad, surely we aren’t nearly as bad as the “hardened” Juniors and Seniors, and but little worse than the “innocent” Freshmen. But you’ll have to keep us, misled genius and all. for here we are! Turn over the page and see the picture of a real class. Honestly, now, don’t we look like somebody? Murphy Dorris ’31. George Carter (boy scout): May I accompany you across the street? Old Lady: Certainly, my boy. How long have you been waiting for someone to take you across ?

Thus entered the largest Freshman class in the history of Paris High School. We were accused of being very noisy, but at least we were heard. We came to school not knowing just what we were to do, nor how we would get along. The first few days we seemed to furnish a great deal of amusement for the upper-classmen. The sight of a j oor, lone “Freshie” in the halls, not knowing where to go or which way to turn, was a huge joke to the Sophomores. But we survived the first days and were then able to go among the other students with our heads up. We have been well represented in the various clubs. We found our places on the athletic field and the Honor Roll. Our members also wrote for the school paper. Next year when we enter school we will not come as awkward, stumbling Freshmen, but as Sophomores with some experience. We shall be ready to give the new Freshmen as much as we received.

Frank: Yes, you see every time I look at it I wonder what time it is. Miss Baldwin found some of her Freshman boys rather backward in writing themes. One day, thinking she would make an assignment in which all were interested, she asked for her class to write an account of a football game. In a few moments she received a paper from the slowest boy in the class. It read: “Rain—no game.” Miss Wenz: Give the principal parts of ill. Gene Sullivan: 111, iller, dead.

The banquets are jolly affairs, and every one who has made the honor roll any one of the hrst three quarters of the year or the last quarter of the preceding year is eligible to attend. Last year this banquet honoring the legion was held on the 16th of May. The affair took the form of a Track Meet as nearly as possible, with the price of admission placed at four A’s. Eleanor Watson, as the head official, ran the meet off in a most admirable fashion, ably assisted by Susanne Johnson as leader of the singing, and by various other capable members of the Legion who partici- pated in the events of the meet. The excellent food prepared by Miss Perisho’s cooking class did a great deal toward making the banquet a success. Henry S. Tanner '29 Secnarf and SNotsuh Cprize clo)inners X 1923 a citizen of Paris who wishes to keep his identity unknown gave to Paris High School two prizes, one for superior scholarship, and one for ex- cellence in oratory. The prizes were to lx? awarded each year. Each prize consists of twenty dollars in gold and a gold pin. The Secnarf Prize for scholarship is awarded each year to the Senior who has maintained the highest scholastic average during his four years in high school. Last year Miss Eleanor Watson and Miss Margaret Parker tied for first honors, each with exactly the same average—and were rewarded by our kind patron of learning who generously doubled the awards and gave each young lady twenty dollars and a gold pin. The Notsuh Prize for oratory goes to any member of the entire school who may be judged the best orator in a contest governed by rules laid down by the donor of the prize. Last year Robert Sanders, delivering The Abolition of War by Charles Sumner in a masterful fashion, had the good luck to win the coveted award. Acts such as this of the anonymous giver of these prizes inspire us to better work in school, and ultimately in our future life.

Last year the society failed to organize, due to the lack of interest among the student body. But this year the society has again l een organized and v 5 have proved that the old adage Absence makes the heart grow fonder is true, as the society now has a member- ship of seventy-five enthusiastic students. This year we plan to make an extensive study of the five divisions of litera- ture.

The meetings, which are held twice a month under the capable direction of Miss Luckhaupt and Miss Hochstrasser, are of great inter- est to the Freshman class. Literary programs are given at each meeting by various members of the organization. The following officers were elected for the year: President........... Vice President...... Secretary-Treasurer.

Many of those on board had made the cruise before, but had found it so enjoyable and worthwhile that they booked passage again this year. A number of new passengers was added to the list and it is hoped that they will enjoy the cruise as well. The most enjoyable feature offered on ship board is that of the programs, which are put on by the travelers. Probably the best fea- ture of this year’s programs was the Latin Operetta. It was concerned with the trials of a young Latin student who had great difficulty in untangling the com- plexities of Latin grammar until the appearance of Latin Grammar himself, accompanied by his declensions, conjugations, moods, and all the phases of Latin grammar. The appearance of these interesting characters, each of whom ex- plained himself, soon cleared Latin of its many difficulties for the young student. This was only one of the many programs presented on board the Classical Club, and each was well worth the time of the audiences.

There is also a period of recreation for the Ag Club members. On the first and third Thursday of each month the club meets for the purpose of recreation. 'Phe Ag Club has a basketball squad and they invite other high school Ag teams to play them. These games are friendly ones, and after the games the “Food Com- mittee” consisting of three or four members, furnished refreshments for all present.

The plot of the play was that ‘‘Bud” Woodbridge, shy and retiring in manner, falls victim to a young and heartless beauty, Grace Tyler, and while he wooes her in the old eloquent manner, loses ground. He is near a complete nervous breakdown so goes to his physician, who tells him that he is the victim of germs. The physician agreed to effect a cure and places an attractive young nurse in charge. In this way the heartless beauty, Grace, is made jealous—and in the end is brought back to “Bud.” Another love thread is woven into the story—by the doctor’s falling in love with the young nurse.

However, when the curtain rose, their composure was regained, and the play smoothly began. The play dealt with a certain Joe Bascom. just out of prison, who was at- tempting to conceal the fact from his mother, his sister Betty, her friend Jessie, and the girl whom he loved, Elsie Tillinger. He had no more than arrived when in came his two prison mates. Mugs and Gilly. With the aid of these two he managed to prevent Deacon Tillinger from taking his mother’s farm in payment for a small debt. The Deacon had planned to sell the farm to Lester Morgan, of New York, who later proved to be the one who had taken the money which Joe had been imprisoned for stealing. The play ended happily with Joe in love with Elsie, Mugs with Betty, Gilly with Jessie, and everybody happy. The parts were all well taken, Aileen Trimble carrying off the honors with her excellent portrayal of Mrs. Bascom.

The operetta was made more realistic by the Japanese costumes, the cherry trees, and the lanterns. The operetta, consisting of three acts, tells the story of Evelyn Barnes or “Cherryblossom, an American girl who is reared by Kokemo, a Japanese inn- keeper. An American party comes to Japan, and Jack, one of the Americans, falls in love with Cherry. The action of the piece centers around Jack’s effort to outwit Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry learns her true identity, marries Jack, and all ends happily. In the interlude between the lirst and second acts Miss Joan Holley pleased the audience greatly by giving one of her dances. The operetta was a success in every respect and gave the people of Paris a picture which will long be remembered. THE CAST Cherryblossom, in reality Evelyn Barnes of X.

Page Seventy-Nine 'Tohe Junior-Senior cBanxjuet HE evening of May 25th. 1928 was. to those fortunate enough to be at- tending the Junior-Senior Banquet, what might be termed “one large evening.” Just prior to the banquet the Reverend Frances Hartrich pronounced the in- vocation. after which everyone proceeded to the very pleasant occupation of de- vouring the excellent dinner served by the ladies of the First M. E. Church. The menu consisted of: Fruit Cocktail Cheese Bits Baked Ham Lime Jello Brown Potatoes Olives Radishes Hot Rolls Butter Jelly Pineapple Saiad Brick Ice Cream Coffee and Mints Angel Food Cake After the dinner was over the Junior automobile with Robert Martin at the wheel as toastmaster got off to a snappy start with the President of the Junior Class, Henry Tanner, welcoming everyone present. Next came the Senior’s reply, in the form of a shift from low to high speed” with Robert Sanders manipulating the gears. Eleanor Watson listed on the program as the “Spot- light, bringing dark things to light. made a hit with everyone, and the powerful auto was moving smoothly ahead. Frances Hurst added a little spark” so that the engine might function a little better and charmed the members of our motor- ing party with a vocal solo. Then as usual, some back seat driver piped up with some advice. However, since it came from our good friend Wesley Shuler, and in such an interesting manner, we all listened attentively and for once took good advice without feeling as if we would like to throw something at the speaker. Lucile Snedeker handed us a few jolts off the pavement of P.H.S.” in a prophecy concerning some of our Juniors and Seniors. Then as the ride ended, and the car which had carried us went by. we saw a brilliant red tail-light, which seemed to be George Easton wishing the departing Seniors good luck, or something to that effect. Any way it was a fitting end to the pleasant ride. And now, everyone’s food having been properly shaken down and the tables cleared away from the gaylv decorated gymnasium the Morin Scott Synco-Pep- pers from Hoopeston started playing some snappy dance music and s x n the hall was filled with young couples swaying, hopping, or jumping, to the rhythm of the music according to their idea of dancing. At twelve o’clock this same band, peppy as ever, stopped, and another suc- cessful Tunior-Senior Banquet was ready to go down in the annals of the history of Paris High School. Henry S. Tanner, ’29 Page Eighty (y. yl. yi. Banquet 7JVX December 23. 1928 at 7:30 P.M. the Girls’ Athletic Association held their I annual basketball banquet. The big event was held in the sewing room,1 which was artistically decorated into a drawing room. The tables were arranged in a semi circle and were very attractively decorated. The dinner, which was prepared and served by Miss Perisho’s cooking classes, consisted of roast pork, jx tatoes. gravy, peas, salad, ice cream, and wafers.

Gladys Strohl, ’30 THE JUNIOR CARNIVAL The Junior Carnival was held by the Junior Class on April 13 and 14. 1928 at the high school. The students and people of the city took great pleasure in the many performances which took place. The most attractive feature of the Carnival was the crowning of the queen. Jane Papadakos was chosen by the whole school and. after being crowned on the second night, was at liberty to at- tend those attractions which she wished to see. Other features which proved interesting were tea rooms, museums, musical comedies, plays, minstrels, cake walks and shows. The building was gaily decorated and refreshment booths seemed to draw much attention also. After the cake walk, the last performance in the main part of the building, a dance was held in the gym until twelve o’clock. Gladys Strohl: There’s money in my voice. Elizabeth Keys: Yes, I heard something rattle. Ruth: What an awful scar you have on your head! Buck (modestly): Next to nothing! Next to nothing! Page Eighty-One , BOtT twenty-five years ago, a monthly journal called the Orange and s') Black was published by the students of P.H.S. Apparently the ven- ture was unsuccessful: at all events it was discontinued. Our school paper, The Tiger Echo is our latest literary venture in the journalistic field and has been published bi-weekly since December 20. 1928. When the students voted on three names chosen from the many suggested, the name, The Tiger Echo received an overwhelming majority of votes. Since the printing of the first issue exchanges have been established with about twenty-five other schools. By this exchange we learn of their new organi- zations and activities and a closer contact than would otherwise be possible is brought about. The paper is extremely useful in that it keeps us informed of the activities of our fellow students and indelibly imprints on our memories the activities in which we participate during our high school career. The purpose of the paper is to promote a greater Paris High through the encouragement of sportsmanship and scholarship. Occasional poetic outbursts on the part of the students are tol- erated. even encouraged in fact, and many in this way have gratified their secret ambition of seeing their names in print.

In the last half, however, our fleet back with the co-operation of the line showed the Hindsboro team a muddy pair of heels several times which resulted in a 28-6 victory. MARTINSVILLE 0 vs. PARIS 7 Martinsville had the appearance both in uniform and action of a snappy football team. Fighting it out for several years on even terms, the Tigers looked rather downcast at the blue streaks. The opponents lived up to their name “the blue streaks” for the first quarter, but seemed to have no fight left after a touch- down and extra point was made. The Tigers fought hard, winning a 7-0 victory. Page Eighty-Four Our 1000 (per (Sent football oeam CHARLESTON H. S. 0 vs. PARIS 33 Prom the beginning Charleston was clearly outclassed. The Tigers seemed to be alive with pep and fire that day; they were mad for blood. Our opponents were helpless to stop the forceful plunges and fast end runs. The red and black players were game, but were merely outclassed. Touchdown after touchdown was netted, and then the third team held the 33-0 score. PALESTINE H. S. 0 vs. PARIS 12 Eleven gridders went into the game with the grim determination to make the blue and white sufTer for the ungainly defeat endured at their hands last year, and to make up for the rotten deal received. This was truly a hard fought game. The two touchdowns were earned at the cost of many a bump and bruise. CHARLESTON T. C. 0 vs. PARIS 6 The Charleston '1'. C. bunch consisted of huge, bulky fellows in the line and tough, hard-hitting backs. The golden backs were seen to dash through the strug- gling mass of black and gold for several first downs. The Tigers were forced to resort to a bit of strategy here. What was lost in the line was made up in end runs and a swift aerial attack. It was late in the second quarter that a clean 30- yard pass was completed. ARCOLA 0 vs. PARIS 0. The Areola game was a thriller from the first kick-off to the last desperate plunge. The Areola eleven fought like demons and once came within a few yards of the goal and victory, but our line stiffly held them for four successive downs, Page Eighty-Five freshman Football Searn then kicked into the safety zone. The Tigers were off form that day; twice they pushed the sphere to within a few inches of the goal but lacked the final punch. Both teams fought desperately to evade defeat, leaving the score 0-0 at the final report of the gun. OAKLAND 6 vs. PARIS 13 Truly a game of games for old Paris, and an event to be written indelibly on the pages of P. H. S. History. For seven years the grid teams of Paris High had fought bitterly, hopelessly, and had lost. But on a shining sea of mud, and with a drizzling rain lending an atmosphere of gloom, they fought. A fumble near Oakland's 10-yard line cost us a six point lead. The ground being so slippery a mode of aerial attack was resorted to as a last attempt. Late in the third quarter a beautiful 35yard pass was completed to make the score 6-6. At the very last minute another desperate pass was hurled, and by good blocking and running the victory was clinched. Another pass netted an extra point, and the game was ours. The 1928 season in football marked the red letter year in the history of Paris High School. Playing three Wabash Valley teams of good standing, the gridders arrayed in orange and black defended their colors successfully in seven hard games, and were scored upon in only two games. Much credit is due to Coach Wyman Glenn, but he modestly declines the flattery by saying, “No one can make a football team without the material; and I had it.” 7 OOTBALL! that awful, awful game of football! 1 myself think it is ter- rible the way they act and fall around over one another—just perfectly ridiculous. In case you don’t know what I am talking about I’ll tell you know about it. The field is a large plot of real estate all divided up into lots and marked with white marks. These lots are all priced at $10. $20. $30. $40, and $50. At each end of the field there is a large H. I believe they call them goals, but I'm not cer- tain. Well anyway, there are two real estate firms and one of these H’s belongs to one real estate firm, and they and the other fight over gaining these H’s. Anyway, these real estate firms have what they call a team of eleven men, and the way they dress! Why, they look like bums! Their clothes are all mussed up and ill-fitting, and they are not even pressed. But ncver-the-less they think they’re dolled up, cause they are considered collegiate, you see. And 'course that’s alright! Now, this is the way you play football! The teams come out on the field and line up. facing each other. There is a quarter-back, full-back, half-back, and a hunch-back. There is one man that stands up and auctions off the lots: he calls off some numbers like 19, 32. 63. 81. etc., and the highest bidder gets the ball and runs toward his H. All the rest get sore about it and all rush upon him and knock the unfortunate one down and stamp on him. Also, there is a man that wears a white sweater and blows a whistle—this man is called the referee. He is the one that causes the boys to get too rough and fall on one another, when he blows that thing called a whistle. There’s an extra fellow out on the outside of the lots that runs along with a pole and when the man who has the ball falls, he places the pole along this line on which he falls, to indicate that the lots have been tramped on and therefore sold to one of the firms. And this is that so-called exciting game of football! 'Phe crowd cheers and simply goes wild, and the rougher the players are the wilder the people are. This I think is the silliest of games and yet the college and high-school boys and girls are crazy about football.—Wonder if I’ll ever get that way! I wonder!

Harold Davidson Quite a voting gridder with still two years to go. Davidson bids fair to be a regular on the future teams of the Tigers. 1 t'ayc Eiohty-Ninc George Ratcufee A green freshman, but a man of huge build, and possessing an arm of tre- mendous possibilities in hurling a long pass accurately. He is assured of a berth on the regular squad next year if his moves continue. Paul Galeener A tough guard to handle. When he wouldn’t slip through the line to nail his man. he employed force (and how!) Chester Smerer Holding down the end position on the second squad throughout the ’28 sea- son, Shcrer will in all probability be promoted to the first in ’29. Robert Johnson A valuable asset to his team as a starter of all plays. Moreover, he helped widen many a hole for the backs to plunge through. Jim Parrish Too light for a line-man; but to hold down a position as quarterback, brains are needed and Parrish’s selection of the right play at the right time proves that he possessed some of them. Henry Tanner Buck was what we might call au extra. He played any position at any time and played them all well. When the coach was in doubt he always felt safe in substituting Tanner. Page Ninety Bob Koho Koho might he termed as our triple threat man. An accurate passer, a speedy runner, and pos- sessor of a powerful toe that could boost the hall far into the enemy's territory. Harry Brown Brownie improves with the years and will undoubtedly draw a berth at right tackle on the squad of '29. John Englum Captain-elect for the '29 season. Johnny didn’t have much science in his line plunges but force and determination always melted a few yards. A real terror to tackle when in full motion. Jok Murphy Murphy was always found mixed up in every play and could be seen many a time clinging to a runner with the grimness of a bulldog. Ray Wallace Wallace had the power of instill- ing tight and determination in the hearts of his comrades. He tackled and ran with equal determination. Clifford Arbuckle Arhucklc put his long arms into tisc in many a game by clasping them firm- ly upon the first portion of the run- ner with which they came in contact. A keen loss to the squad of next year. Ptuje Ninety-One Our Basketball £ earn 0HEXING their season in fairly good style by giving Brocton a real game and by defeating the Redmon five, everyone, including the team and its backers, believed that the ’28-’29 season would prove a most prosperous one for the Tigers. But not so, for it was then that a losing streak set in: appar- ently they had gone “stale or were indifferent. Practice revealed them as a per- fectly working machine at the art of ball handling and team work. This caused much worry on the part of the coach and invited bitter remarks from some of the supposed backers of the team. At last, however, when the season was a good two-thirds gone something happened l ecause the Tigers began to play a real brand of basketball and the old fight was again present. Positions on the team had been changed constantly ail year and apparently Coach Glenn had struck the right combination. Anyway the boys ended their schedule with a strong finish by defeating an all-county winner. Marshall: then Chrisman; and two Charleston teams in a row. It was only by this strong comeback that the Tigers saved the old school from one of the most disastrous basketball seasons ever made at Haris High. The outlook for a winning team next year is bright, as all the men now I-KKSHMKX BASKETBALL TEAM Interclass c.Basketball tournament Freshmen.................. 14 vs. Seniors................. 20 Sophomores............... 7 vs. Juniors................... 8 Freshmen.................. 6 vs. Sophomores.............. 16 Seniors.................. 9 vs. Juniors................... 7 The class basketball tournament of ’28, as can be readily seen from the above scores, was not as easily taken as usual. The Seniors continued to uphold the tra- dition that the upper classmen are superior in athletics as well as education. 1 low ever, aside from all this the dwarflike freshmen succeeded in squeezing between the legs of the giants to net up as high as fourteen points. It was only at the cost of much labor and caution that the great calamity was averted. The next game, to decide whether the Juniors or the Sophomores would have the honor of playing with the Seniors, was in truth a desperate turmoil, the Juniors holding a scant lead of one point at the final game. In the consolation game, the Sophs had little difficulty in defeating their inferiors by the count of 16-6. The championship game was certainly a nerve-racking affair especially for the players. The two teams raced neck to neck until the last quarter, when a Sen- ior wildly threw the ball and, luckily, it went through. The Juniors, in utter despair, broke the Seniors’ defense time and again to get a shot, but to little avail. The game ended with the Seniors possessors of the winning two points and the promise of a purple and golden pennant which spelled—VICTORY! A !J(iyc Ninety-Three Edward Gillum (Capt.) Same quiet, consistent Eddie. His team- work ami accurate follow-up shots helped win many a game. Hob Koho Having years of experience in the game the coach always felt safe by putting Koho in. His accurate shots from all angles put new tight into the weakened hearts of his team mates. Robert Johnson A reliable man at forward. Rather slow but we have great hopes for him in the future. George Ratcliffe Ratcliffc’s work at the center posi- tion reveals his ability in the game. Xext year we expect to see him holding this job down on the regu- lars. William Cushman Bill was mixed in every play, fighting all the time. Once started making baskets there was no stopping him. Pave Ninety-Pour Charles Harrison Chick” has developed into a neat forward this year. Very agreeable fellow, hut rather hashful. William Murphy To he a successful hack-guard one must learn to use his feet and head, and not his arms so much. It was a hard lesson for Murphy, hut it developed him into a first-class guard. Wayne Bark Shorty’s lack of experience in the game made him none the less val- uable to his team. His habit of looking at one place and throwing the hall at another usually kept the opponent guessing. Charles Ogle This being “Wildcat’s first year of real '•xperiencc in basketball, we believe that he has a very creditable record. b’uture years in old P.H.S. will prove his real worth. James Parrish A good man on both offense and defense. Parrish has played in several games and future years may see him a regular. Ci.eo Berry One of our strongest men on defense. With still three years to go and improv- ing constantly Berry will undoubtedly re- ceive his reward in ’30. v VJ Page Ninctp-Pnr CZ5he dgar Qounty tournament HE Edgar County Basketball Tourney of January 25 and 26, 1929, a hard- fought process of elimination between eight of the select teams of the county, disclosed many bitterly fought games. History as usual, repeats itself; Paris entering the fray with high hopes was defeated in an over-time game by the Chrismati outfit. Chrisman, after winning two desperate over-time games, fell before the onslaught of the Brocton live. The only consolation left the Tigers was two berths on the all-county teams.

This trophy, given to the school in 1925 by L Rae Colson, a man who is always back of our school activities and is him- self a good sport, is not merely a reward for ex- cellence in athletics. It is more than that. It is meant to instill in our athletes a desire to play the game fair and square, and never sacrifice sports- manship to obtain victory. Mr. Colson suggested the following qualifications upon which to base a 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; gen- eral attitude in which he accepts reprimands and suggestions. 4. Fighting spirit and morale in defeat or vic- tory: 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. The first name placed on the trophy was that of Lawrence Caylor, a man who will long be remem- bered by the athletic following of Paris High School. In 1926 Raymond Bennett was selected as winner of the tro- phv. “Frenchie’s” smiling good humor on the football field and the basketball floor was the mark of a sportsman. Last year Carl McGowan was chosen as the athlete most nearly fulfilling the above qualifica- tions. “Sj eed” played the game fair and square, and deserved the honor.

A dream I deemed so wondrous fair. That e’en it seemed as I dreamed this dream To trust its truth I could not dare. I saw myself in a large, clean place, And here and there were files and chairs; And in its place 1 saw a case Containing ads in threes and pairs. There’s a desk for the editor and each of the staff, A cub with a fable at a great long table. All were at work—at this 1 yet laugh As hard and as loud and as long as I’m able. A file for copy, a file for cuts, A drawer for each who's on the staff, The work of these poor crazy nuts W as just, in this way, cut in half. A newspaper rack and bulletin boards Bookcases, typewriters, and telephone— These cheery students did seem as lords. I felt like a dog with a great big bone. Then 1 awoke, like all other muts. The doors of joy to me Fate locks. Exchanges, copy, ads. and cuts, I find them all in the OLD SHOE BOX. Jok Murpiiy, ‘29 Barney Easton: What are you drawing? Jane Johnson: A dog.
