SCHOOL, TO COMMUNITY, AND TO COUNTRY THROUGH WORDS and pictures we have endeavored to portray the service that Paris High School offers to the home, to the community, and to the nation. At the same time another goal is to produce a yearbook that will bring memories of high school days as you leaf through its pages. While turning from page to page you will see the pictures of old classmates, organizations in which you have participated, athletic teams of which you were proud, and read of incidents that brought you, perhaps pleasure, perhaps disappointment and sorrow, both of which are inevitable within four years of high school' work. If this book, in years to come, brings back fond remembrances of old P.H.S., we shall feel that its purpose has been achieved.

LIGHTENED OUR BURDEN WITH HER MANY KIND DEEDS IN VIEW of the fact that the dominating thought in this book is service, it seems appropriate to make the dedication to one who has faithfully served Paris High School. We need not go far afield to find someone who has served long and well. She has given a large part of her life to serving Paris High, first as a teacher and for the last twenty-two years as principal. In this time she has endeared herself to us by friendly generosity and scholarly guidance. Under her, every phase of high school life has been enriched and new activities have come into existence. With these services to us and our school in mind, we of the Arena Staff and the Class of '41 proudly dedicate this volume to our principal, teacher, friend, MISS CAROLYN LOUISE WENZ, a living symbol of the theme of our book, ''Service."
