• Paris High School has one of the largest faculties this year that it has ever had. There are twenty-five members, four of whom are here for the first time. Three courses are offered to the student body — the college preparatory, the com- mercial, and the general course. The college preparatory course requires four years of English, two years of mathematics, two years of history, and one year of science. In the other two courses, arithmetic, book- keeping, business training, shorthand and typing, manual training, foods, and clothing are offered. Through the study of social sciences, students realize that they are living in a changing world. Studying history under Miss Fansler, Mr. Little, and Mr. Sweeley, they learn to look at the present in terms of the past and to better understand conditions existing around them. Three years of history are available, two of which are compulsory. A year of ancient and a year of modern are offered to students taking the college pre- paratory course. However, a single year of world history may be substituted. American history, of course, is required for graduation. In the civics classes, under Mr. Cotting- ham and Miss Farrell, students are taught the machinery of our government. CATHERINE FARRELL. A.B. French JANET C. BALDWIN. A.B. English BETTY LOU HUNTER.
