Our little basketball player, with the smile that won't rub off.” Lo! here hath dawned another new day, Think wilt thou let it slip useless away?” was undoubtedly the motto of the CLASS of ’36, judging from the achievements of our four years. In our freshman year our class had a larger number of students on the honor roll than any other class. We made our debut in music organizations and in the field of athletics. In short, we sowed the seeds for a harvest from which we have reaped so abundantly. In our sophomore year we sent two of our class to the All-State High School Chorus. We showed our dramatic ability in the play we presented to the school. Our popularity was shown when our sophomore candidate won the title of MISS PARIS HIGH SCHOOL. Again we upheld the scholastic record gained in our freshman year, and began to show promise as future debaters of Paris High School. As Juniors we presented a very successful play to the school in addition to the traditional Junior Class play. The athletic teams were composed largely of members from our class. The crowning event of our junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. in this, our final year, we have continued to uphold our earlier formed standards. We have made a good showing on the honor roll, won the class basketball tourney, and were honored in having our class representative chosen as Carnival Queen. At present debate practice is under way, and we expect to maintain the same high honors as before. —H. RAMBO ’36. ‘Taris Hiob School School Section O
