SENIORS 23 CLASS OF '38 • The CLASS OF '38 demon- strated to the faculty that they meant business by taking part in all activities open to fresh- men. They gained deserved rec- ognition in scholarship, Winifred Weberg leading the entire school in scholastic standing. They were also active in foot- ball, basketball, and track. Betty Crable brought honor to the class when she was chosen queen of the May Fete. In their second year this class was well represented by Bell, Shipley, Taflinger, and Willan, who were members of the bas- ketball team that went to the state tournament. This was the first time in a quarter of a cen- tury that such an honor had come to our school. We were also active in football and track, in debate, G.A.A., and the mu- sical organizations. As juniors, this class attract- ed favorable attention because of its ability in dramatics. Many took leading parts in, The Buc- caneers. The highlight of the year was The Patsy, the junior class play. As usual, this class was very active in athletics and scholastics. Olive Ruth Joneson, Palmer Tate, and members of the glee clubs, chorus, and track team were recognized at the E. I. Literary and Track Meet. The crowning events of the year were the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Following these events, the juniors politely dismissed the seniors and took into their own hands the reins of leadership. ••THE PATSY Our Junior Class Play Betty Crable.

JUNIORS 24 CLASS OF '39 • In the fall of 1936 the portals of Paris High swung wide to re- ceive the eager, enthusiastic CLASS OF ‘39. Many of our girls were initiated into the G. A. A., while the boys were learning the tactics of football and basketball. Our voices rang out in glee club and chorus, and our names were found on the honor roll. In the sophomore year we proved to the upper-classmen our ability to carry on. An out- standing success was our class play, The Tantrum. Then, Mar- guerite Little won a position on the first debating team, an un- usual honor for a sophomore. In beginning our junior year, we feel that we have passed an important milestone. Our class play, The Adorable Spend- thrift, was a great success. Our athletes are making out- standing contributions to team and track, and our students con- tinue to place on the honor roll. Our class sponsored a dance between semesters—the Post- Exam Jubilee. The most impor- tant social events of the year to which we are looking forward are the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, which we hope to make a great success—a fitting close to the junior year of the CLASS of '39.
