It is to this purpose that every worthy United States citizen aspires to knowledge which will aid him in helping chart ventures today, tomorrow, and onward into the future. It is our purpose, the public high schools of America, to serve as an institution where American youth may attain the basic fundamentals necessary to go forth as a future pillar of society. As youth, it is your privilege, right, and duty to avail yourselves of all possible means, that you may become well-versed in all phases of your future roles. Through the publishing of this year's ARENA, I hope it has opened avenues for growth, development, and enjoyment, not only for the Arena Staff, but for the entire school and community. Poge 3 —J. E. Lynch, Principal Do you have English 6th hour? This is registration day with the sophomores receiving class schedules and lockers. Those lockers never work for the freshmen! Gary Mott wrestles with his. As a token or appreciation and for farewell Bob Runyan and Herb Farnham present roses to Miss Hochstrasser from the seniors. THE YEAR Remember the day, August 29, 1955, when school opened? Everyone had registered the previous week according to classes. At first it was rather hard to get back into the hang of things, but it was a lot of fun seeing people you hadn't seen for months. Miss Hochstrasser, the senior English teacher, wasn’t with us this year for the first time in a quarter of a century. Mr. Jenkins, our former principal, wasn’t either. In his place was Mr Lynch, who had been at Areola High School last year. The freshmen had the usual difficulties—jammed lockers, wrong classrooms, and wrong side of the stairs. The janitor was a very popular man with these newcomers. Hurry, you will be late! The students hurry to class by way of the frequently used center stairs. IN REVIEW Since the fall school enrollment was 742, the largest in history, the halls were terribly crowded. Somebody was always bumping into you, and white bucks didn’t stay white long. To the freshmen four minutes seemed like a very short time to get to classes. However, after they found the side stairs there was more time and more room. Homerooms were held occasionally, especially at Homecoming time. Usually everything from floats to what you were wearing to the game was discussed. The football season opened, and all of the fans went to witness the battles on the gridiron Remember those cold windy nights with wet bleachers? Homecoming, with the parade, game, and dance with the queen, was certainly one of the highlights of the year. It was rather chilly for formals, though. What song title shall we use for our float? A senior homeroom makes the plans for their float. “Think it will win a prize? A freshman homeroom works diligently on their float. “My poor aching feet (and stretched arms)! The band leads the snake dance to the’football field for a pep meeting IB •• Is his heart beating? Dr. Bittner gives Joe McCord his physical while Coaches Stabler. Eveland, and Herron watch. DO YOU REMEMBER The Senior Play, with its excellently chosen cast and hours and hours of rehearsal, brought down the house with its comedy. Open your mouth, please,” was a common expression when the doctors came to take the freshmen's physicals. “Watch the birdie,” said Mr. Benjamin when he came to take pictures of all individuals for the ARENA. Then came basketball, the next sport in the spotlight. School spirit soared when we won the first games of the season. Who doesn't like an assembly program? Several were held throughout the year. Nobody will forget the Veterans' Day and Christmas ones, as both were most outstanding. Mr .Benjamin takes an underclassman's picture. Hope she smiled prettily. Basketball Fans At Work. THE GOOD TIMES m HAD Christmas Vacation, what a glorious time! No classes or homework, just the Holiday Tourney, which was a good one even if we didn't win. The Junior Play—remember hunting for just the perfect things for the setting? Not any old chair or table would do. It took a lot of practice, but wasn't it worth it? Of course, it was. Nobody forgets a May Fete. The formals were every color of the rainbow, and then some. It all went so fast! The seniors couldn't believe it lasted such a short time, and the underclassmen felt they had just run on to the floor when their dance was over. Weren’t the queen and her court pretty? It's bedtime, and one by one the toys and little girl fall asleep at the May Fete. “Way Down Upon the Swanee River” sang these girls in the May Fete. They glowed in the dark, too. It’s Armistice or Veterans’ Day, and the high school has an assembly to honor vet-cio.is of past wars. The Crew Cuts give us a little barber-shop harmony at the Junior-Senior Banquet. George Roberts, Bill Cash, David Dilla-vou, and Joe McCord make up the quartet. DURING 1955-1956? Soon after the May Fete came the Prom. Remember how you girls picked out beautiful for-mals and hoped the right boy would ask you? Of course he did, and finally the big night came. You took hours to get ready, and then he arrived with the prettiest corsage of fragrant flowers. Now you were off to a glorious night of dancing. It was wonderful! Graduation day was coming fast. Semester tests were taken, and the seniors prepared to leave. They had a hilarious time Senior Night. Plans were made for a senior trip months in advance. The Sunday before graduation all attended Baccalaureate, and then came Commencement. Feelings were mixed. Some were glad to get it over with, but others hated to leave. After four short years of high school they were ready to face the world. —THE EDITOR Joyce Bittner receives her diploma at the Commencement exercises from her father, school board member Dr. Bittner.

We have certainly had lots of fun and hard work this year. The first big thing was when we received our class rings. And oh! how we traded them around. We worked so hard on our Prom and Banquet, but it was certainly worth it. We have never had so much fun. We are getting right into step now, so we can take over next year. Just think! Seniors in ’57.

The line, led by Camp and Sawlaw, was outstanding in wearing the Warriors down. The Marshall Lions fought desperately but were outclassed as the Tigers downed them 18-0. Dyke Davis was the most effective running back for Paris. In one of the hardest fought games of the season, the Tigers met defeat for the first time at the hands of Villa Grove 13-7. Recovering from a poor showing the first half, Casey came roaring back to defeat Paris 18-7. (It was all Paris the first half and all Casey the second.) The Homecoming crowd watched the fighting Tigers go down 13-12. Effingham, scoring early in the first quarter, held on to the lead for the remainder of the game Hampered with crucial injuries, the Tigers were eventually worn down by the E. I. Champs, Charleston. Final Score: 26-7. The Reserves should receive credit for a fine performance in this game. With determination in their hearts and with the running of the elusive Bob Woltman, the Tigers crushed Georgetown 41-0. Realizing a dream of many years, the Tigers defeated an arch, rival, Robinson, 21-12. This was the first time that a Paris team walked off the field victorious since 1941. This was their finest game. Martinsville was the last victim of the Tigers as the game was broken wide open by Jim Drake Final score: 27-6. Thus the season ended with a 5-4 record.
