THE MEDIEVAL ARTIST, ENGINEER. AND SOLDIER. SEVERAL SKETCHES OF FLYING MACHINES WERE FOUND, ONE OF WHICH RESEMBLES THE AIRPLANE IN FORM. IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY EX PER IM ENTERS IN THIS LINE WERE INCREASINGLY NUMEROUS. THE MONTGOLFIER BROTHERS COMPLETED THE FIRST PRACTICAL BALLOON DESIGN IN JUNE, 1783. THEIR 35-FOOT PAPER BAG INFLATED WITH HOT AIR AND SMOKE FROM BURNING DAMP STRAW, FLEW FROM THE LITTLE FRENCH VILLAGE. OF ANNONAY. IN AUGUST, 1783, A PHYSICIAN NAMED CHARLES, ASSISTED BY THE ROBERTS BROTHERS, CONSTRUCTED A SILK BALLOON OF 1,400 CUBIC FEET CAPACITY, AND SENT IT ALOFT INFLATED WITH HYDROGEN GAS. ABOUT THE SAME TIME A MAN BY THE NAME OF DEROZ1ER MADE A BALLOON FLIGHT OVER PARIS, THAT BEING THE FIRST TIME THAT MAN EVER FLEW. TWO YEARS LATER. BLANCHARD. A FRENCHMAN, AND DR. JEFFRIES, AN AMERICAN. MADE THE FIRST BALLOON FLIGHT ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL, THE FLIGHT TAKING THREE HOURS. IN 1852 HENRI GIFFORD.

IN 1903, AFTER HUNDREDS OF EXPERIMENTS WITH GLIDERS, THE WRIGHT BROTHERS FLEW THEIR FIRST AIRPLANE AT KITTY HAWK, N. C. OTHER EARLY FLIERS WERE SANTOS DUMONT. FRANHAM, BLEVI-COT, AND GLEN CURTISS. AFTER THESE EARLY ATTEMPTS RECORDS WERE SET ONE AFTER ANOTHER. SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FLIGHTS WERE THE FIRST TRANS ATLANTIC FLIGHT BY THE AMERICAN FLYING BOAT No. 4, THE FIRST ROUND-THE-WORLD FLIGHT BY THREE U. S. ARMY PLANES. COMMANDER BYRDS FLIGHT TO THE NORTH POLE. LINDBERGH'S FLIGHT TO PARIS. AND THE ROUND-THE-WORLD FLIGHT OF THE GRAF ZEPPELIN WHICH TOOK ONLY 28 DAYS, 8 HOURS, AND 25 MINUTES.

HISTORY OF THE ARENA HE ARILS A OF TODAY HAS DESCENDED FROM THE FIRST HOOK WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN 1910 BY PARIS HIGH SCHOOL. ITS PURPOSE WAS TO KEEP A RECORD OF EVENTS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, AND IT HAS HELD STEADFASTLY TO THAT END EVER SINCE. THE ONLY DEVIATION FROM THE NAME OF “ARENA WAS IN 1911 WHEN THAT PUBLICATION WAS CALLED “PEE AITCII ESS.” SINCE THAT TIME THE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE, “THE CLARION, WAS EDITED IN 191516. FOR FIFTEEN YEARS THE YEAR BOOK HAS BEEN PRINTED ANNUALY UNDER THE NAME OF THE ARENA ’. A GREAT DEAL OF ITS SUCCESS CAN BE CONTRIBUTED TO THE AID OF MISS WENZ AND THE FACULTY ADVISORS. DURING THE TWENTY YEARS OF PUBLICATION, MISS SLEMMONS, MISS BOLAND, MISS FANSLER. MISS TATE AND MISS WRIGHT, TEACHERS, HAVE CONSENTED TO GIVE THEIR EFFORTS TOWARD THE SUCCESS OF THE BOOK.

MOSS, B.S., Superintendent of Schools THE PARIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Paris Union School District, No. 95. of Edgar County is a special charter district created by special act of the Illinois legislature in 1869. The first board of education was named by the legislature and was composed of Henry Van Sellar, Obed Foote, A. J. Miller” Levi C. Mann, George E. Levings. and Samuel Graham. The present Board of Education is composed of Edward Levings, president; Karl R. O’Hair, secretary: R. G. Lehman, Burnie McClain, R. K. Shelledv, and T. J. Trogdon. The assessed valuation of the district is $6,376,163.00 with a tax rate of $2.07 on each $100. With the closing of the Sandford building there are in use five buildings; the High School, Mayo, Redmon, Tanner, and Vance. The total enrollment as of December 1, 1929 was 1,804. 607 of these were in the High School and 1.197 in the elementary schools. The total cost of operation for the school year of 1929-30 was $134,731.16, exclusive of capital outlay for new buildings. The public schools of Paris are recognized by the state department of education, the University of Illinois, and the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. It is their object to offer to the people of this community a complete course of study from the first grade through the high school inspired with the ideal of the physical, mental, and moral well-being of the child. CAROLYN LOUISE WENZ, A.B., Principal PARIS HIGH SCHOOL 'The Paris High School District was organized in the year 1869, and the first class, consisting of eight members, was graduated in 1875. The first high school building was on the present site of the Mayo School. In 1908 the present high school building was erected, and it was thought by many at that time that provision for high school purposes had been made for many years to come. There were approximately three hundred students at this time, and the class of 1908 numbered thirty-three graduates. In 1922, a north and south wing were added, thus furnishing in addition to a gymnasium and auditorium ten additional class rooms. At the present time even-inch of available space is in use; the enrollment for the present year is 630 and the number to be graduated in June is 135. Students are offered a choice of four courses —college preparatory, commercial. agriculture, and general. We are proud of the fact that each year a large percent of our graduates enter universities and colleges for higher training. Page Seventeen THE ARENA Janet C. Baldwin, B.C.

We work and study oh, so hard; Our work is never late; I’ll tell you why we do it though,— We want to graduate. We want to sit up on the stage And take off honors high; When fateful June comes round again; But many Seniors sigh— ’Cause they hate leaving P.H.S. But we will hide our sadness By being proud that we got through And then we’ll leave with gladness. Rage Thirty-five II THE ARENA g jUL SoLUyfy'} U£ jtfaAuJL jy.Judl -(ZJLo l ' c Zs - b t .

To the school—The memory of one of the most brilliant classes it has ever had. To the faculty—Peace and quiet after four strenuous years of guiding us along the “straight and narrow path.” To the Sponsors of our class—Our undying gratitude for having helped us to complete our high school career. To the Juniors—Any well-thumbed “ponies” and notebooks which they may find discarded in our lockers. To the Sophomores—Our ability to write notes and get by with it. To the Freshmen—Our regrets that we must leave them to the mercies of the upper classmen. To Miss Farrel—A French class, the members of which will talk only when called upon. To Mr. Forster—A Chemistry class which will study each and every experiment earnestly and long. To Miss Fansler—A vote of thanks for having taught us history in so entertaining a manner. To Miss Wenz—Another vote of thanks for having given us permits so many times. I, George Davison, leave my ability to put pep and enthusiasm into the student body to Bob Seass and Dick Bunnell. I, Maxine McDivitt, leave my large and brilliant vocabulary to Louise McNees. I, Georgine Cline, leave my ability to get into trouble to John O. Honnold. 1, Florence Gumm, leave P. II.

I, Gladys St roll I. leave my talkativeness to Margaret Wixsom. I, Frances Sudduth, bequeath my coy expressions to be divided equally among Freshman girls. I, Jed Burnham, leave P. H. S. to take charge of the U. S. navy. I, Edward Guyshiek, leave my ability to raise a mustache to Shorty Bercaw. I, Eddie Gillum, leave six inches of my height to the first freshman who can not see over his desk in the assembly room. I, Orville Hugg, leave my yodelling to Frank Payne. I. Faye Tobias, leave my sleigh riding ability to no one. I, Wayne Marrs, leave High School to ride around in a Buick coupe. I, Merritt Myers, leave my wicked smile to any girl wishing to possess it. I, Raymond King, leave my sideburns to Pete Lehman. I, Dean Watson, leave my carelessness in preparing my lessons to Murphy Dorris. I, Eugene Tobias, leave my “Iron Horse” to anyone that can start it. I, John Englum, leave my football pants to Johnny Martin. I, Leland Lane, bequeath my bulldog expression to Cleo Berry. I, Martha Parker, leave Gene in H. S. to the tender care of Marjorie. I, Gertrude Chrisman, leave my habit of asking questions to Bob Gross (if he needs it.) I, Helen Papadakos, leave my wonderful G. A. A. record to the most deserving aspirant for the honor. I, Daniel Apple, leave, thus causing the assembly to become quiet again. I, Sarah Drake, leave my love for dancing to Johnnie Ball. T, Agnes Steidl, bequeath my ability to patch up my love quarrels to Biddy Holley or Jane Rowe, wherever it is most needed. I, Martin Phelan, leave my money in my other pair of trousers. I, Virginia Andrews, bequeath my powers of concentration in typing to Jim Connery. I, Louise Scott, leave my grin to any of these sober ( ?) Freshies in the hope that they will use it freely. We, the Davis Twins, leave P. H. S. after four years without ever having any one call us by our right names. Having in the above statements disposed of all our notorious possessions and habits, we, the Class of 1930, do hereby set our hand and seal on this tenth day of March, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and thirty. Ci.ass op 1930. Page Thirty-nine THE ARENA j gr=::=— -= THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’30 In September of 1926 there entered thru the majestic old portals of Paris High School a class which was to make history. “Prom all the surrounding country they came,” but mostly they flowed in from dear old Mayo. They entered, fully expecting to see Seniors, Faculty, and undergraduates go down on their knees to such an extravagantly brilliant collection of scholars. To their surprise, disgust, and consternation, the only recognition they received was a derisive shout from some senior as to whether or not their respective mothers would allow them to don long pants next year. For the most part, this their first year was spent in trying to convince various teachers that they knew what they were trying to say even if they couldn’t say it. The Sophomore year was just another nine months. Nothing at all startling transpired; a few got on various athletic teams, some went in for school activities, and some more attained the Honor Roll. In the Junior year this class began to give promise of what it would be able to attain. From what the audience reported the Class Play was well liked. The Junior P.anquet seemed to be a success and, all in all. it seems as if the Class of ’30 made quite a success of the year 1929. But now this class has risen to the mighty elevation of Seniors, the all powerful body in any high school. It seems impossible that this lordly organization could have been at one time lowly freshmen. Yet, it is a fact. And from that fact all the freshmen now in school are free to draw consolation. This, the Class of 1930, is now stepping out into the world. Some of its members will proceed into the realm of higher education. Some will immediately attempt to make their way in the sphere of business. But wherever they go, whatever they do, we sincerely hope that they will bear in mind the happy days that were spent in P. H. S., and that in after years they’ll remark with feeling, “I’d give anything to be able to go to high school all over again.” The officers this year are: Secretary- Treasurer. President...... Vice-President Edward Gillum ...Faye Tobias ..Sarah Drake Edward Gumm Martin Piiki.ax '30. Pay Forty c. GREEN H. PARKER F. STEIDE W. PIPER President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Eleven long years have passed since the class of 1931 entered the public schools of Edgar County. For eight years we plied ourselves diligently to the task of being able to enter high school at the proper time and becoming “somebody.” As a reward for our efforts, we graduated with high honors (and diplomas tied with ribbons) from the elementary school. Then began our career as Freshmen in the Paris High School. Oh! the embarrassment we endured for the first two weeks! If we walked across the assembly, everyone laughed; if we asked how to get to room twenty-four, still they laughed. Yes, we were a constant source of amusement to those horrid upperclassmen. But as time went on, we became better acquainted, were admired and appreciated by our superiors, and ceased to be “just freshmen.” We contributed members to each activity in High School. Even the Honor Roll contained the names of several in our class. The class of ’31 has been represented each year in the Eastern Illinois League Contest and the Edgar County Contest. For two years Maud Elizabeth Dorsett and Murphy Dorris have been counted among the winners in both contests. In the past few years, through our close association, we have come to know the Seniors well, and we are sorry that they are leaving; sad when we think of our good times with them, and of the co-operation and team work that was necessary to make our school-life a success. As we stand on the threshold of our final year and are ready to take up the task just laid down by the Seniors, we resolve to abide by the high standards set by the class of ’30 and keep our record as perfect as it now is.

I thought, and thought, and thought some more. It isn’t real easy, you see, I sighed and I mourned as never before, But it just couldn’t be done by me. 1 reviewed all the works of Shakespeare and Pope, Next, Dryden, and Byron, and Gray, I tried and I tried, but 1 could not cope With that despicable, renegade lay. I wound up my brains in the most approved way, I tightened each bolt and each spring, But my brain would not run and compose that lay, A truly discouraging thing. “Whatever will happen to me?” I thought, “When I go to English today, With all my labor gone to nought, And without that pesky lay?” Then I had a thought sublime, I was happy as could be, “I'll ask teacher to forgive this time, Perhaps she was young—anti a poet once like me!” Murphy Dorris '31. Rob Seass: There is a town in Massachusetts named after you. Pete Lehman : What is it? Rob: Marblehead. Miss Tate: What makes you think Caesar was so strong? Joe Stanfield: The book says, “He pitched his tent across the river. Miss Rosie: When were the Dark Ages? Howard Ruff: When there were Knights. Miss Rosie: 'The motto of the United States is, “Out of Many One.” What does that expression mean ? Rill Murphy: Four out of five have it. Yes, Jane Johnson paints—and she certainly can draw men. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On a morning early in September of 1928, the largest class that ever entered Paris High School made its appearance. In the course of a year’s time, the number of our class has diminished hut we still have hopes of being the largest graduating class in the history of Paris High School. Last year we were merely freshmen and performed the duties of freshmen, as we think, very well. This year we are to gain another step in the progress of learning. Many of us will perhaps reach for a higher education, but we will always remember those good old days as sophomores. The sophomore class has gained honors already. As freshmen we organized our own Literary society; but as we have grown more dignified and have won the title of sophomores, we were initiated into the Alethenai. Eleven girls and eleven boys have added their names to the honor list and some of our talented young members have joined the glee clubs and orchestra. We wish also that some of our ambitious members may aid the newly organized band in making the basketball games more musical. This year our sophomore boys displayed their ability to the school by taking the class basketball championship. We desire greatly to retain this honor next year. We are one and all looking forward to a successful junior year which leads us up one more step to our goal. Let us hope that our next year will be more prosperous as we grow older and gain more knowledge. Marjorie Hodge ’32 1).

For you will have answered the call of life, Out into the wide unknown; We hope life will gently deal with you, And may the seeds you have sowi Abundant and beautiful harvest yield; And may your out-look he bright, As you carry the Hag of achievement. Into the battle of life. Li jcille Saiter ’32. OUR LYCEUM COURSE Our Lyceum Course this year is fine, For we get each number for only a dime; We see the announcement, which surely looks great, Of some great man, to speak on that date. But alas, two days before the affair, Our teacher tells us, to our despair, That the Lyceum program has been changed And a substitution has been arranged. So we come to the program with downcast hearts And denounce the performer before he starts; But even before he is half-way done, We all wish that he had just begun. William Parrish ’32 Lives of students all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And by asking foolish questions Take up recitation time. Here’s to our parents and teachers—may they never meet.

CABEEN President Pice-President Secretary Treasurer FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Yes, it was a great day in our lives when we entered High School on the first day in September, 1929. Will 1 tell you about it ? Surely, but you may have to prompt me because so many things have happened that I may forget some of them. Of course the upper-classmen got a big kick out of teasing the “Freshie,” but we stood all of this all right. How large is our class? Well, when school opened one hundred fifty-five of us came through the doors the first day but since then a few others have entered our class. Did any of us make the honor roll? Boy, did w;e? Why the first and second quarters our class had two who stood at the head of the whole school. There were thirteen on the honor roll the first quarter and seventeen the second. Oh sure, our class is well represented in the glee clubs and other associations in the school. Several of the freshman girls took part in the operetta “Yanki San.” Did we do anything in football and basketball? Yes we did. About twenty were out for football, and in an assembly held at the close of the semester, those boys were awarded a '33. One of those twenty boys made the first team, an achievement of which we are very proud because it is a rare thing for a freshman to do that. Basketball? Well, we didn’t win the class tournament, but almost anyone who saw the games will tell you that they were interesting. Yes, these are the main things that have happened so far; but there is another semester this year before we go on to the next class and in the time that is left w e intend to add to this list. A.

Orval Goff Custodian We used to think the story about Cupid was a fable—hut having known Goffie. One day last summer Orval Goff walked into the railway station and inquired about engaging a Pullman berth to Louisville, Kentucky. Agent: Upper or lower? Orval: What’s the difference? Agent: A difference of fifty cents. You see it’s like this: The lower is higher than the upper, because the higher price is for the lower. If you want to go lower it costs you higher. You see we sell the upper lower than the lower. In other words the higher, the lower. Most people don’t like the upper, although it is lower on account of being higher. When you occupy an upper, you have to get up to go to bed. and get down when you get up. You can have the lower if you pay higher. If you are willing to go lower it will be higher. Now which will you have? Orval: I think I'll walk. I Jest Student- Best Dancer.... Best Athlete.... Prettiest...... Drollest....... Best Dressed... Best Flirt..... Best Looking- Best Talker....

Paye Sixty-one SECNARF AND NOTSUH PRIZE WINNERS In the year of 1923, two prizes were given to P.H.S. by a citizen of Paris, who wished to have his identity kept unknown. The prizes were to be awarded each year, one for superior scholarship and the other for high attainments in oratory. A prize of twenty dollars in gold and a gold pin is given for each event. 'I'he Secnarf Prize for scholarship is awarded to the senior having the highest scholastic record for four years. Last year Henry Tanner with an average of 94.68 was winner of the prize. The Xotsuh Oratorical Prize goes to any student of the entire high school who may be judged the best orator in a contest governed by rules laid down by the doner of the prize. Last year Susanne Johnson delivering “The Philippine Question ’ by Deveridge in a masterful fashion had the good luck to win.

Paris High was the winner of the silver cup which is given every year to the school whose teams make the highest percentage. In February of last year the teams were picked and practice was started. The outlook was not so bright at first because there was only one experienced member on the team. By dint of a good deal of hard work on the part of the students and a lot more on the part of the coach, the teams were finally whipped into shape in time for the first debates in March. The affirmative team, consisting of Edward Hopper, Susanne Johnson, and Joseph Murphy went to Effingham and defeated the Robinson negative team. The negative team, consisting of Russel Jones. Lucille Snedeker, and Martin Phelan went to Robinson and there defeated the Effingham affirmative team. In the next series of debates the affirmative lost to the Hutsonville negative team at Robinson while the negative team won from the Robinson affirmative at Hutsonville. Paris High is quite proud of the 1929 debate teams, who were able for the second successive year to win the district’s silver trophy.

It takes the place of the old Ag Club, and its purpose is to promote better farming and methods among the younger generation. Any boy who has had or is taking vocational agriculture is eligible for membership. At the present time there are about thirty members. The club meets every two weeks and discusses topics of general interest. The F. F. A. has an organized basket ball squad that practices at noons on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. The players are selected only from the ranks of the organization. Some night a neighboring Ag. team is invited in and a friendly game is played. After the game, a committee composed of three or four members furnish refreshments for the entire bunch. At these “feeds” apples, weiners, sandwiches, doughnuts, and other tempting foods are served.

It was that of the Illinium Science Club, which derived its name from the only chemical element discovered in America. The constitution was framed on September 30, and was duly adopted. This organization soon outstripped all organizations in both members and zeal. This society was the first to initiate an emblem of the organization. The Illinium Club will be affiliated with the Junior Academy of Science. From the present outlook this club will soon be one of the foremost of P. H. S.

THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club of Paris High School consists of twenty-six members, thirteen tenors and thirteen basses. The Glee Club furnishes entertainment for the Teachers' and Farmers’ Institutes, school assemblies, and numerous other gatherings. Each year the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs present an operetta, the proceeds going into the music fund. This year there is to be a contest for Boys’ Choruses only, held at Brocton, Illinois. The boys are diligently learning their parts and are preparing to take first honors in the contest. The object of this organization is to create more interest in the art of music and to develop the talent of boys having no means to do so. Miss Ethel B. Hougham, the music instructor, has charge of this class. Miss Charlene Allen is the accompanist.

From the thirty members, a special chorus of twenty is chosen by our director to represent the school in the various contests. The purpose of this organization is to aid our school in winning honors in these contests in which we participate, and to create interest in this branch of art. ' The Glee Club appears before the Exchange and Rotary Clubs, our school assemblies, the Teachers’ and Farmers’ Institutes, and with the help of the Roys’ Glee Club, usually presents an operetta each year. Ry their many appearances before the public, the girls attain the poise necessary to win a contest. The Girls' Glee Club of Paris High School has won the County Contest for ten successive years and first place in the Eastern Illinois High School League contest the last two years. We owe much of this to our capable director, Miss Ethel B. Hong-ham, who works tirelessly in her efforts to make us one-hundred per cent. Much credit is also due to our efficient accompanist.

Twice a week we meet in the music room and sing, sometimes classical music, other times school songs, and still other days popular music. For two weeks in the spring we were divided into two sections and each section gave a program. In the fall the chorus sang at a teacher’s institute, and then again, later in the auditorium of the Paris High School. The songs chosen for these occasions were, “Carissima” and “Fallen Leaf.” The accompanist was Margaret Swank, the chorus pianist.

ALETHENAI For several years the Alethenai was the only literary society in P.H.S. Three years ago a Freshman Literary Society was organized and consequently the Alethenai has, since that time, been composed of the upper classmen. This year it was not organized until the second semester, but when the call came for members, over one hundred serious minded literary enthusiasts responded. With Miss Mc-Illroy as our sponsor, bi-weekly meetings have been held and we have endeavored to put equal stress on literature, art, music, and current events. At the first meeting the following officers were elected : President...................Edward Gumm Page Seventy-three E ARENA THE T1GKR KCHO Twenty some years ago I’aris High School boasted of a paper, The Orange and Black.” For some unknown reason this journalistic effort failed and no effort had been made to revive one until last year when Miss Wenz called a meeting of all students interested in the formation of a paper, from which group a staff was to be elected. A senior, Joe Murphy, was elected Editor and a staff was chosen from the various classes. The students were given their choice of a name and they voted an appropriate one. “The Tiger Echo.” After much trial and error, the paper was put on a footing, not however, one that was very substantial. By the unceasing efforts of all the staff, the new paper succeeded in carrying through the first year. Early this year all members of the staff remaining from last year met to reorganize the paper. It was decided to let the juniors have control of the Tiger Echo” since the seniors edited the “Arena.” Accordingly a junior. Peter Lehman was elected editor with Helen Murphy as his assistant. For business manager Helen Parker was elected, with George Carter as assistant. The paper itself is small. It is issued every two weeks, coming out on Thursday, and is sold at five cents a copy. All organizations, sports, and features are covered, as well as an exchange column from other school papers. The staff consists of about sixteen members. A band is an organization which has been needed by Paris High School for a long time. Our band was organized some time in February, under the supervision of one of our seniors, Carl Rowe. It has made numerous public appearances at basketball games and other special occasions. 'Phis band can make noise despite its small size. Let’s hope for a big band next year! Pi-ter Lehman ’31. P.

Paris High School realizes the need of athletics for girls and it, therefore, each year sponsors the Girls’ Athletic Association. The G.A.A. of Paris High School was first organized in 1924 under the supervision of Miss Emily Beth Doak. It has been sponsored each year since that time, and is a member of the Eastern Illinois League of the G.A.A. Many activities are enjoyed by the G.A.A. girls. Some of these are hiking, basketball, volley ball, and tennis. Meetings are held twice each month. There is a short business meeting followed by the playing of any game that is chosen for that particular night. Each spring the G.A.A. has a basketball tournament to determine the winning team, each of the four classes having entered a team. After the tournament a banquet is held and the members of the winning team are awarded numerals. For sports, such as basketball, volley ball, hiking, tennis and baseball, which are mentioned above, activity points are given. The girl obtaining the highest number of points gains the privilege of attending the G.A.A. camp at Decatur, with all expenses paid. Hi da Edwards ’30.

SECOND CHILDHOOD On the evening of May 29, 1929, the class of ’29 gave a masterful presentation of ‘‘Second Childhood.” The plot consists mainly of a certain Professor Relyea and his wonderful Elixir. General Henry Burbeck, portrayed by Joe Murphy, is deeply in love with the professor’s daughter, Sylvia, and in a last desperate attempt to win her love consents to be the object of the professor’s experiments. A child is left in the home by the wife of the general’s son, and as the professor returns with Phil Stanton, Sylvia’s true sweetheart, they hnd the baby and the empty Elixir bottle. From that point on. the events become more and more tangled until the play developed into a near farce. CAST OF CHARACTERS Professor Frederick Relyea..............

The members on the program for the evening distinguished themselves as various parts of an airplane. James Parrish, as toastmaster, started the propeller and informed the guests to prepare for the “lift” which was the invocation pronounced by the Reverend Mr. Webber. The excitement that the passengers experienced during their thrilling ascent was quelled by the appearance of a cleverly planned dinner served by the ladies of the First M. E. Church. The menu consisted of: Chicken Patties Mashed Potatoes Pineapple Cheese Sai.ad Rolls Angel Food Cake Coffee Immediately following the dinner Gerald Bandy, President of the Junior class, welcomed the guests and adjusted them to the course and purpose of the evening as a rudder of a plane adjusts itself to the strength of the wind. The President of the Senior Class, Henry Tanner, replied in imitation of the form of a “whirl wind motor.” Miss Wenz, representing “the stabalizer.” recited a clever poem displaying the necessity of a stabilizer for some of the brilliant but irresponsible students. The toastmaster tuned in on the radio and the passengers enjoyed a vocal solo sung by Frances Hurst. Miss Hochstrasser took “the wings” into consideration, while making a very entertaining oration. Next loan Holly gave a peppy tap dance which the passengers all enjoyed through their telescopes. Mr. Glenn gave interesting information on “air bumps,” while Lucile Snedeker added a few surprising and entertaining facts about the faculty and students as “wind gusts.” “Barney” Easton delighted the guests with a piano solo over the radio. Martin Phelan, while sky-writing, colorfully wrote the future of many of the senior class members. Russell Jones related the “log” of the Senior Class as its journey had come to an end. A safe “three point landing” was overseen by Margaret Williams, who brought the passengers soundly to earth and bade them adieu. Then, the tables were cleared away and Crose’s Twin-Lake Serenaders struck up a lively dance tune. The young couples thoroughly enjoyed the several remaining hours of dancing. Twelve o’clock ended another colorful Junior-Senior Banquet. Mary L. Harrison.

THE SEASON’S TRACK RECORD—1929 In the first meet of the year for the Tigers, they completely overwhelmed Westfield by the score of 119 to 36. Twelve firsts, the relay, and numerous seconds, thirds, and fourths accounted for the high score. Some of the outstanding performances were by Landes in the mile, Hardy in the weights, and Sanders in the dashes. The next competition for the Tigers was in the form of the inter-class meet which the Seniors carried off by l00' 2 points as compared with the 30j4 points of the Freshmen, their nearest rival. The Juniors and Sophomores each accounted for 12J 2 points. Following this practice, the Tigers welcomed the thirteen schools taking part in the E. I. League meet, an annual affair on April 27. Although they put up a good fight for first honors they were defeated by the margin of 14 points, the fast Robinson aggregation proving the winner. In this meet. Hardy was the individual star, taking the javelin and shot, tying for first in the discus with Leitz-man of Martinsville, and broke records in all three of the events. Other high scorers for Paris were Landes, Gillum, Berry, Koho, and Schisler.

Hardy again was the star, winning his favorite three events, setting a new record for the discus with 115 feet, 5 inches. Landes broke the mile record, winning it easily in 4 min., 46 sec. Sanders set a new 50-yd. dash record, breaking the tape in 5.9 seconds. Another record broken was the 440-yard run, Eddie Gillum smashing this meet record with 56.4 seconds. The Tigers scored almost at will, car-rving the meet off by a margin of 29 2 points. Scores of the schools are as follows: Paris 63 Kansas 9'.4 Chrisman 36 Metcalf 6'A Hume 34 y2 Redmon 3 Scotland DISTRICT MEET On May 13, the Tigers journeyed to Mattoon for the State District meet. Results were not so favorable for Paris in their last competition, although they placed fairly well up. “Tip” Hardy made this possible by winning the discus. He set a new district record of 124 feet. He also placed second in the javelin to Cher-vinko of Witt. This gave Paris nine points and entitled “Tip” to a trip to Urbana for the State finals the following Friday and Saturday, May 16, 17. There, our redoubtable athlete took fourth in the javelin, but failed to qualify in the discus, his favorite event. 'fhe stiff competition accounted for the lack of Paris points at Mattoon although some of the boys, notably Landes, Koho, Sanders, Tanner, and Inge made good showings.

But inexperience, as well as lack of coordination, brought about a very disastrous season. A heavy but slow line that failed to function in several games, and a light back-field without enough drive, spelled defeat for Haris. At times however, the team appeared to have light and ability, but these qualities failed to appear many times. With many of this year’s regulars back for ’30, a successful season should be had, although the usual toll was taken by graduation. Paris ended the season with a record of one tied, four lost, and one, won. PARIS 0—CHARLESTON T. C. 0 A very hard fought game, the Tigers displaying a good brand of football, but lack of scoring punch, the ball menacing the goal line constantly. A third quarter drive brought the pigskin to the one foot line, but a smash at the line failed to punch it over. This was a satisfactory game, being the first struggle for the Orange and Black. PARIS 0—MARTINSVILLE 7 The Tigers journeyed to Martinsville and were defeated by the narrowest of margins. A Martinsville touchdown was scored after Paris had been offside, and having held the Blue Streaks on the preceding down, although the conflict was not won.

The Charleston scores came as a result of repeated line plunging. PARIS 6—PALESTINE 12 The fleet legs of Sears. Palestine flash, twinkled rapidly on a seventy yard dash for a touchdown, spelling victory for the blue. With only fifteen seconds to play, the ball was advanced to the one foot line, but the succeeding plunge failed to take it over. The gun sounded before another down could be run oft. Murphy’s plunge accounted for Paris’ six points. PARIS 13—MARSHALL 20 The strong Marshall eleven, rather over-confident, came to Paris and received a scare, although Paris did not draw near scoring distance the fourth quarter. The Tigers fought hard: Barr’s long runs, one a 98 yard run after intercepting a pass, accounted for twelve points, while Captain Johnny Englum plunged for a point after touchdown.

LEWIS FRITCH Rather heavy, ‘ June” played a cointnendablc game at guard and tackle, always being in the thick of every play. Mis presence always gave the line a more com-pact appearance and unity. GILBERT GUYMON Guymon was a steady man to have in the line. Although short, and rather slow, he could be seen in many plays. DEAN EDWARDS Playing at the end and then at tackle. Dean at last found himself and proved to he one of our best men. He was constantly on the alert for fumbles, as well as being a good tackier and blocker. EDWARD GILLUM Eddie played a stellar game all year, being a big factor in every game. His blocking and tackling was of the very best, and he was a capable pass receiver. WAYNE BARR Harr proved to be our best open field runner, as well as playing a very creditable allround game. He was a good blocker, and a very good pass receiver. ‘‘Shorty ’ could always he counted on for gains. ARCHIE McDIVITT Archie, in his second year in the line, was a very valuable man in spite of injury. He was a driving type and a sure tackier. ARTHUR KILMER Red was a good passer and punter, showing promise of a good quarter back. Although inexperienced. Red will be a big help next fall. Page Eighty-seven CHARLES GREEN A reliable ami hard working back. Chuck is slated for a good season next year. He should develop into a valuable man. WILLIAM PIPER Bill, in his first year in the line, was one of our most reliant men. He was aggressive, an excellent tackier ami blocker, and gave the backs a feeling of courage. GEORGE CARTER Carter should a c q u i r e enough weight to make him a good man for next year, his lightness proving a disadvantage. He showed good qualities as a back. CHESTER SHERER Ches in his first year in the backfield, played a very good game. He shows promise as a passer and open field runner and should develop greatly next year. JOHN ENGLUM Captain in his last year, job liny proved to be a callable ground gainer. His loss will be much felt. GEORGE ADAMS Large and rather speedy, George was a good man in the line. He was one of the surest tacklers and Idockers on the squad, constantly on the alert. WILLIAM MURPHY A hard bitting full back. Hill could always be counted for gains of several yards, if not more. He was a very good tackier and blocker, proving a bulwark back of the line. Page Eighty-eight JACK CLARK Clark held down the other end position in a manner that was not to he doubted. 11 is ability to break the interference as well as get his man were undoubtedly worthy of praise. MIKE HAASE Mike proved a valuable find at end. for his aggressiveness and all-around playing ability combined to make him one of our most outstanding men. PAUL G A KEENER Paul played a hard driving game in the line, always on his toes, and sensing the direction of a play. Although not fast, he could get down the field or through the line «s capably as any of our linemen. GEORGE RATCLIFFE It was well toward the last of the season before George realized that he could play football Although big, he was fairly fast and should, beyond doubt, be a star in the line next year. ROBERT JOHNSON Hob again performed in his commendable manner at center, his accuracy in passing. as well as his blocking and tackling were a big asset, lie was also a capable punter. LLOYD ADAMS In his first year of football. Adams proved to be a back of great promise. Although inexperience proved a disadvantage, he played a game worthy of anyone. EUGENE MYERS Small but fast, Tuflfy was an exceptionally clever lineman. lie was in the thick of every play and could take punishment from larger men without a word. Paijc Eighty-nine The 1930 Basketball season, now past history, was filled with some very fine basketball along with some average and some bad basketball on the part of the Paris Tigers. The pre-holiday schedule of four games were all won by Paris in a rather handy manner. After Christmas it was a matter of winning four games while losing £even. In the game with Charleston T. C. on February 18, the Tigers seemed to again hit a consistent winning stride which gave them three out of the last four games played; thus finishing the season with eleven wins against eight losses.

WAYNE BARR Another guard who was one of the big reasons why Paris was noted for its defense He rated high among scorers as well as being fast CHARLES HARRISON Although not so aggressive. Chick was one of our best shots, as well as a reliable defensive man. His accuracy from mid-floor was a big factor. CHARLES OGLE Ogle was one of the best developed and improved players we had from last year. He received his big chance after the season was well under way, becoming an exceedingly good guard. Payc Ninety-two ARTHUR KILMER Red showed great promise as a hasketecr in the few games he played. A good shot as well as dribbler. Kilmer should have a great future in store for him. LEWIS FRITCH, JR. Although not seeing much action, June shows good defensive promise. He is a good reserve man, and much will be expected of him next year. DEAN EDWARDS Big ami tall, yet rather awkward. Dean nevertheless was a reliable man. He should be a big factor in future years. GEORGE RATCLIFFE A big boy, who although rather slow, nevertheless covered the floor well on defense, coming through for several shots in critical moments. LLOYD SOUGHERS Small but fast. Midge was a good man to have in reserve. lie was a very good shot and could be counted on to stop most of the enemy’s plays in his zone.

This was one of the best tournaments in recent years. Page Ni« ctv-fo u r DISTRICT MEET CASEY, ILLINOIS, MARCH 6, 7, 8 A surprise victory by the Kansas cagers over the Orange and Black eliminated all hopes of a district title. Paris had defeated Kansas twice before, and had won two hard fought games from Oakland and Casey, to come through to the semi-finals. Defeat was made more bitter by the fact that Kansas, runner-up to Westfield was selected to go to the sectional with seven other teams over the state. These eight runner-ups were picked in order to make the game schedule even.

A sportsman in every sense of the word, a good fellow among good fellows, a school spirit second to none, and a self-sacrificing attitude toward all the teams of which he has been a member has made “Bill” stand high among Paris High School students and faculty . GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP TROPHY Each year some athlete of Paris High School is honored by having his name engraved upon a silver football known as the GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP TROPHY. This Trophy, given to the school in 1926 by U. Rae Colson, a man who is always back of our school activities and is himself a good sport, is not merely a reward for excellence 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 sportsmanship 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; general attitude in which he accepts reprimands and suggestions. 4. Righting 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. U. Rae Colson Trophy Page Ninety-seven THE AREN CHEER LEADERS Bunnell Davison Seass “PEP” What a lot this little word “pep” stands for! It may be found at the heart of all the school’s activities. Its influence is stimulating; oftentimes it is even intoxicating. It is extremely contagious and well spread over any large gathering. This fact is shown by the actions of Paris High School students at basket ball games and other athletic events. It is a word that cannot be even remotely connected with failure, but is always used in connection with success. PEP SONG Oh Paris High School, The one dear high school, Our hearts arc all with you; Loyal to each call. Steadfast in school hall. Praising the things you do; When w'e attempt to bring you on to fame, Xo man exempt from guarding your good name, Sec us victorious, first, best, and glorious. Since we will fight for you Paris High. Rah! Rah! Rah! We’ll fight for you, Paris High. Yea Orange! Yea Black! Yea Tigers! Fight back! Page Ninety-eight THE GAME We trotted out upon the field, We felt so young and gay; Hut when we saw the Marshall team. We did not feel that way. Each one of them was six feet tall. And strong and husky, too; They ran through signals like a top, Defeat seemed our due. The whistle blew, the ball was kicked, And when they all piled off, There was a Marshall player At the bottom sure enough. Before the game was over, Marshall gave us all a jar. By scoring, scoring, scoring. Till she roused our halfback Barr. He vowed he’d save the honor Of his old and dearest school, By scoring a goal for Paris Against the Golden Rule. Marshall was near our goal line And a long high pass she threw; Barr snatched it from the air, And in the line dove through. He ran fiercely for the goal line, Where there was one man in the way But Clarke, who cut in swiftly, Put that man out for the day. Barr dashed across the goal line. And laid the ball down there, Amid the yells of Paris fans, That almost rent the air. Sidney Powers ’33. Coach Glenn (to applicant for place on team): What experience have you had? Lloyd Adams: Well, last summer 1 was hit by two autos and a truck.

Page One Hundred Ten CLASSICAL STUMBLES Cooper wrote “The Last of the Mohammedans.” A partial vacuum is a sweeper that takes up only part of the dirt. One of the things the Colonies objected to was Representation without Taxation. Two novels of Austen are: “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “The Straw That Broke the Camel's Back.” A farmer picking out seed corn should have well shaped ears. When De Bracy set out in such haste his purpose was to overhaul Rowena. One word which may be used to express the run-down condition of a house is elapodation. A progressive tax—the tax progresses as the person or thing being taxed grows. Eight years after Shakespeare left Stratford-on-Avon, his health overtook him. Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife. The Eighteenth Amendment prohibits the sale of intoxicated liquors. Public utilities are such things as water, gas, lights, jails, and cemeteries. Edward the Second ascended and sat upon the thorn of England. Barbarous is a lady barber. Shakespeare went to London where he held horses in front of a theater. This was the beginning of his literary career. People used to write with feathers which were called non de plumes. A stock exchange is where cattle are bought and sold.

Can any of you name another?” There was a deep silence, then a happy look illuminated the face of Hilah M. Clinton. Oh I know,” she cried out, “Collie-flower.” A real true friend is hard to find; One who's your friend clear through, One who'll help you when you're down And cheer you when you’re blue. One to whom you know you can tell Your trouble and your care, One who you know will understand And all your troubles share. And when the game is almost lost A helping hand he’ll lend; And help you out because you sec He is your true blue friend.
