Crawl, you all INTRODUCING MAXEY MAC-our conception of the typical Army Doughboy. Through Mac and his daily experiences we have endeavored to carry out our theme and present to you glimpses of Army life. We have supplemented Mac's experiences by the use of actual scenes of the daily training at Camp Maxey, Texas. We feel that the presence of Camp Maxey and its effect on our community life make it a subject of interest to both the student body and the townspeople. Having been denied a panoramic view of the camp, we have tried to show you the magnitude of both the camp and its training program by using pictures of actual training on our division pages. If, while thumbing through the pages of this annual in later years, these pictures of old friends and cartoons of Mac help you in any way to recall your high school days and these troubled times, then our hopes and efforts will have been justified. ,,,,,,,.,.,,..i . - , H ,N Y 1 In ., in 1' 2244.-,5,'?

Chaznness THE WAR today holds first place in the minds of all our people. This is as it should be, for nothing must interfere with its prosecution until victory is ours and lasting peace is secured, You of Paris High School are assisting those in active service by taking part in all the home front efforts of the war. ln addition to this, most of you have taken advantage of your educational opportunities in a satisfactory manner. This, l am sure, will be appreciated by all of your loved ones everywhere, for most of them realize now, as never before, the advan- tages of even a high school education. Some day we shall have peace again, and our country will need the services of every- one to rebuild America into a finer and better place in which to live. The training which you are receiving at Paris High School will enable you to take advantage of the opportu- nities for service which will follow the close of this War. Be ready, then, by being prepared to do your part in this great task of reconstruction. A. H. CHAMNESS, Superintendent.

TO THE SENIORS OF l944: AS THIS is being written, the one thought uppermost in our minds is that of winning this war. lf our way ot life, our liberty, our democratic institutions and even our civilization are to continue, victory must be on our side. While we have made great progress in the past few months, and while hope tor the future seems brighter, the war is yet to be won, and no one can tell with any degree ot certainty when this will be. Much remains to be done. As you graduate from this institution and step out to assume an enlarged part in this gigantic task, I would pass on to you those time-Worn, yet timely, words that have ever guided humanity as an unfailing beacon in its upward struggle through the ages: l would have you, day by day, tix your eyes upon the great- ness ot your country, until you have become filled with the love of her, and when you are impressed by the spectacle of her glory, retlect that it has been acquired by men who knew their duty and had the courage to do it.

Nevertheless, the month of 'Sep- tember, 1884, found, among others, W. B. Aiken, E. L. Dehoney, Travis Henderson, lohn Gibbons, and Captain Sluder combining their efforts to lay the foundation of Paris's present school sys- tem, with l. C. Brooks being elected superin- tendent. lohn C. Gibbons, the mayor in 1884, became the first president of the school board. Mr. Brooks's unusual strictness resulted in his resignation after three years. Following Mr. Brooks, Mr. C. A. Bryant served for two years in the capacity of superintendent, and he was succeeded by Mr. D. B. Cully, dur- ing whose term of five years a class of five was graduated from Paris High School. This was the first class to graduate under the present school system. Mr. Cully issued quarterly report cards to his teachers which contained grades rating their appearance, order and appearance of room, discipline, and method of teaching. This system is continued today, although our teach- ers are graded but once a year. ln 1893 the man who has been called the Father of Paris Public Schools became super- intendent. This was Professor l. G. Wooten. His arrival found the high school students, which numbered seventy-three, under the instruction of three lady teachers and the principal. Classes were held on the second floor of the old Aiken lnstitute, grade work being done on the first floor. ln a few years Professor Wooten had ex- tended the high school term to four years, as it had been heretofore only three years. Under his direction the curriculum was greatly broad- enedp it consisted of both classical and scien- tific courses and a department of modern lan- guages. The attendance increased to one hun- dred and ninety-six students. The building was rebuilt in 1907, being solely for the purpose of a high school. This building was destroyed by fire, although it was immediately rebuilt. Burn- ing again in the Paris Fire of 1918, the building which we now use was erected in 1917. Profes- sor Wooten was deceased in 1931 after a long life and one which beheld great progress in our high school and in all Paris schools. The men who now serve as superintendent and principal of Paris High School, Mr. A. H. Chamness and Mr. Thomas Iustiss respectively, occupied their positions in 1931 following Mr. Wooten's death. lt was in the next scholastic year, 1931-1932, that Paris High School was first admitted to the Southern Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools. This member- ship, which has been retained through the pres- ent time, makes a graduate of Paris High School's credits acceptable to all colleges and universities in the United States. Our beautiful gymnasium was occupied in lanuary, 1939. This building, the total cost of whiclt was SBBODUU, is equipped for the use of the physical education classes, the basketball and tennis squads, and has a music room which the band uses for practice. There is space under the bleachers which is used to store the musical instruments, and the gym is the scene of the many dances which the different school organizations sponsor. Paris High's Wildcats had their first and sweetest taste of prominence in the fall of 1941. Not only did they win the district title, but they became bi-district champions. They succeeded in holding the district title for the second year, this being the first time the title had been held for two successive years by one school. lt was in 1941 that we were privileged to use the newly-erected Noyes Stadium for our home games, formerly they had been played at Wise Field. At the present writing the enrollment oi P. H. S. is nine hundred and forty-five pupils, the building having been built for the use of eight hundred. Our maximum enrollment was reached in the year 1939-1940, when thirteen hundred students attended. The curriculum of Paris High School includes fifty-five and one-half affiliated credits in the departments of English, mathematics, social sci- ence, foreign language, science, mechanical arts, home economics, commercial arts, music, and vocational agriculture. The latest additions to the curriculum were in the school year 1942- 19435 they are Bible and aeronautics, and each counts a full credit. Graduation requires sixteen credits of which four must be in English, two in history, three in mathematics, and two in either language or science.

The cor- ridors of Paris High School echoed and re-echoed these and numerous other battle cries in the week following the announce- ment of the OWL Sweetheart nominees. The girls, Melba Wood- ard, Priscilla Scott, Narca Hooker, and Clifton Le Moss, nominees of the Senior, lunior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes respec- tively, were presented in assembly on the fourth of October, nominations being made at the time OWL payments were given. Not being restricted to nominations solely from his own class, the student making his payment during the first Week of school could place 325 votes, a payment made in the second week entitled him to fifty votes. The final selection was determined with the sale of war bonds and stamps, the total of which amount- ed to Sl4,905.20. The purchase of one ten cent stamp allowed the student one vote for the girl whom he wished to elect, a twenty-five cent stamp, three votes. By buying a bond of the 5525.00 denomination, 250 votes could be placed, a 350.00 war bond was valued at 500 votes, etc. There was a total of l90,307 votes cast by 336 students. The party sponsored by the OWL on the fourteenth of October was the scene of the presentation of the OWL Sweetheart, Melba Woodard. The favorite boy and girl were selected by secret ballot by the members of their respective classes, the OWL Sweetheart and nominees were barred from the election, all others being eligible. The students who are featured on the Favorite Nominees page are those who Were second in the class favorite election. The Who's-Who Was chosen by popular vote from the Senior class. Also pictured in our personality section are the lunior Ro- tarians. They are the eight Senior boys chosen by the faculty Who have high morals, intelligence, and fine characters supple- mented by those desirable characteristics in young men which will make them outstanding members of their community, and, possibly, future leaders in the Rotary Club. Here they are, boys and girls, your fellow students Whom you have chosen for your l944 Favorites.

She combines a quality of sincere friendliness and an able wit in such a way as to makeQ us all love her. Lending her delightful presence to organizations including the National Honor Society and the staff of our l944 QWL, of which she is Circulation Manager, we know her to be always accom- modating and diligent in her work.

Scoring in every quarter, with the exception of the third, the P. I-I. S. men ran over, through, and around their rivals in fine style. In the scoring department Streety accounted for two, Gibson, two, I-lill, two, and Cothran and Brazile, one each. Besides kicking three extra points, Hollis broke through the Sul- phur Springs line to tackle Nance behind his goal for a safety and two points, while McGee kicked one from placement. The entire Wildcat squad looked good, displaying much spirit and hustle. as uk af Paris Texarkana 14 0 IT WAS dust and not Texarkana players that slowed down a hard-charging Wildcat line and a fastsmoving backfield. The Tigers never had the ball in their possession past the fifty-yard marker, but the dust which was as thick as a London fog kept the Wildcats slowed down all the way. All scoring was made in the second quarter when Captain Hoot Gibson crossed the Texarkana goal line twice. The score did not tell the true story, as Paris racked up a total gain of 377 yards to Texarkana's 53. '7 w7a4 .,i1 ' AFTER TWO victories, the Wildcats tasted defeat at the hands of the Marshall Mavericks. Exhibiting speed, power, and deception, the Mavericks scored once in each period, with the exception of the third. Marshall scored in the first half on two brilliant sixty-six yard runs by the Maverick scat-backs, Bobby Eurr and Billy Dinkle. Y. A. Tittle scored in the fourth period by receiving a lateral and traveling twenty-two yards to paydirt. Paris's score came after receiv- ing the kickoff and driving seventy-eight yards across the double stripes without relinquishing the ball. The Wildcats fought hard all the way, but the Mavericks had too much on the ball. if ai- -x Paris Waxahachie 12 18 NGT BEING able to go around or through, the Waxahachie Indians passed to an I8-I2 victory. The Indians's scores were made in the first half: however the second half told a different story as the Wildcats started clicking on all eleven cylinders and almost won. the game. Wildcat scores, made by Brazile and Gibson, came in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats looked good against a heavy line, but several boys received injuries which came into prominence later on.

A Greenville drive ended in the first score early in the second period when lodie Marshall crossed the double stripes on a re- verse play, but it took the 'Wildcats only a few more minutes to even the score when Hoot plunged through right tackle to paydirt. The third quarter was slow and no scoring occurredg however the final quarter featured a thirty-five yard drive, climaxed when Brazile hit center for the winning score. ak uk we Pcrris McKinney 47 7 VVARMING UP for the first district garne of the i943 season, the Wildcats ran through a weak McKinney team. Using strictly ground plays for every touchdown, Paris scored twice in the first, third, and fourth quarters and once in the second. Brazile led with four touchdownsg Cothran, second with two, while Antoine scored his first for the year. Hollis kicked four extra points while McGee accounted for one. The McKinney score came when Stewart received the kickoff from Paris early in the fourth quarter and outran the Wildcats. wk af we DESPlTE THE dust, Brazile, with good interfer- ence, played a nice game against Texarkana. ,qu FOR THE highlight of the '43 season, the Wildcats held Denison, which was a heavy favorite, to a scoreless tie. The Wildcats out- played the lackets in every department with the exception of first downs, in which Denison led 8-5. Paris outgained the lackets by more than two yards to one with Denison piling up a net gain of 65 yards while Paris rolled up l42. There were no stars for Paris, as every member of the team was giving his best.

S., for it Was that night that a badly crippled but hustling Wildcat team met a poWerful, fast running, and hard-block- ing Bearcat team and Was defeated 27-6. lt took Sherman only nine plays from the open- ing kickoff to .score With Kegans plunging the line. The second quarter found Newbill going through right tackle for another touchdown. The third quarter saW no scoring, but it Was during this quarter that Gibson Was removed from the game because of a broken collar-bone. The fourth quarter found Sherman on the loose, scor- ing on a pass from Ioiner to Newbill and a line plunge by Pelly. lt Was during the fourth quar- ter that lack Streety received Sherman's third kickoff and returned it eighty yards for Paris's only score. AN OVEESIZE Gainesville line and a Weak and crippled Wildcat team accounted for the 7-7 deadlock in the last game of the l943 sea- son for the Wildcats. The Leopards scored in the first quarter on a pass into the left flat that netted 50 yards and a touchdown. The try for the extra point Was good, With the score 7-O in Gainesville's favor. Not until the fourth quarter did the Wildcats even the count. The first play of the fourth and final quarter found Streety back to punt. He faked a punt, cut around left end, hit for the sideline, then reversed his field and outran the entire Gainesville secondary to score. Hollis kicked the extra point from place- ment. The score did not paint a true picture of the game, for Paris gained a total of l35 yards rushing While Gainesville lost 4 yards.

Mr. Barnett was called upon to help Mr. Berry with the varsity, thus having to neglect the Nubs. But with the able assistance ot former Wildcats, Lowry Inzer and Neil Coker, the Nubs carried on with lots of work and scheduled games. KNOWN AS the Nubs, the Paris High School B Team played tive out ot town contests for a perfect record-not a win. However, all teams which they played were heavier, more experi- enced, and had more man power. These facts did not phase the Nubs, for they were hustling to win every minute. Understudies B Team...

I mn't see you AFTER WABMING up with only two intra-squad games, Paris High dazzled the favored Denison Yel- low Iackets with a score of 28-l7. However, the taste ot victory did not linger long with us, as one week later we were toppled irom +t.he lead in thendisirict race bgnthem mighty Bonham Warriors with a tally of 3l-l6. lanuary 2l we were smothered by a tast-moving Sher- man team 42-20. We were further humbled by Gainesville 22-20. The initial game for the second series of the round-robin found Paris being blasted for tour consecutive defeats: Denison, 61-375 Bonham, 23-12, Sherman, 49-257 Gainesville, 50-31. There were several games played by the Wildcats other than the district tilts. The two intra- squad games mentioned above were witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd. For the first time the entire school turned out for the second ot these battles,.as it was heldnin the gym as a regular assembly pro- gram. The Seniors smashed the luniors with scores ot 3l-l6 and l8-15. ln a benefit game the high school girls were turned back by a quintet from Paris lunior College with a score ot 22-16. The boys almost got into the winning col- umn but were nosed out by the Blossom Bulldogs 37-28.

'k THE WILDCATS started off with a bang by overwhe1ming a strong and high1y favored Denison team. However, they ended up with 1itt1e less than a pop, as their first vice tory was also their 1ast.

Sharing in its sixth straight tennis cham- pionship, Paris High School's Nettexrs topped their opponents' scores in the boys' doubles, 6-4, 6-l, 6-2, and in the girls' dou- bles division, 6-l, 6--4, in the ll-AA Confer- ence meet at Bonham. The singles were lost to Bonham, although Paris has held the title in that division for the past five years. All our representatives advanced to the finals in the meet which included Greenville, Sulphur Springs, Bonham, and Paris, Texarkana, also a member of the ll-AA Conference, had no entries present. Following a different form of elimina- tions this year, the conference champions held playoffs similar to football and bas- ketball eliminations. There were only two practice games, those being with Sherman and Denison. Finding a strong Sherman team, our players were able to Win in the boys' doubles 6-l and 6-3, but luck was more favorable at Denison, with Paris tak- ing high scores in the boys' doubles, 6-4, 8-6, and girls' singles, 6-2, 6-O. For their long and hard hours of Work required to achieve championship form, our hats are off to Coach Echols and his fine team, Whose members are leannette Amis, Gloria Sperry, Huldah Williams, lim Hickey, Kyle King, and Ben Billingsley. Williams, Hickey, and Billingsley will re- turn next year, other promising players being Bosalie Hope, Dorothy Periman, and Iohn Amis.

H. S. There are monthly meetings in which the stu- dent learns interesting facts about the Romans and matters about which he would not otherwise know. This year's activities were climaxed with a Roman banquet at which the first year students acted as slaves and served the other members. Everyone enjoyed the banquet immensely, and many people who did not take Latin were quite envious. A smart, well-informed student will, upon entering Paris High School, immediately begin his study of Latin, a course which is thought to be so hard, but, in reality, is not at all bad. A treshman's first acquaintance with Latin is made when he learns about declensions, participles, infini- tives, and coniugations from Miss Hankins. In his second year Miss Sallie teaches him many more rules, while his second semester is filled with readings on Caesar. Under Miss Sallie's supervision, an advanced study of Virgil and Cicero is made by those who have completed Caesar. By the time a Latin student has com- pleted four years, he thinks he knows everything . . . well, nearly. 'k 'k if Top Ftow: Kent, Lattimore, Law, Lemmond.

And if you would quietly walk in and take a seat in the rear, you would, in all probabil- ity, find yourself greatly interested in the program which you would see. Perhaps it would be a lively quiz, or a matching of wits in a roundtable discussion concerning Einstein's lat- est. Whatever it consisted of, you may be sure that it would be some- thing to hold the attention of every- one present. If you were lucky, you might be invited to the Science Club dance on the 17th of March. Don't you think that would be fun?

Their club work, which has included a number of scientific programs, will prove of much value to them in their future professions.

Such quaint ceremonies as the breaking ot the pinata and the Nativ- ity 'Scene at Christmas time make our club meetings interesting as Well as pleasant. Movies and plays portray- ing the lives of our neighbors in Spanish America, and the many tales of Mexico which our sponsor, Miss Inez Bishop, relates to us, com- pose our thoroughly enjoyable pro- grams. Bringing our year to a close with a banquet in honor of the Senf iors in the Spanish Club, we say good-bye to our new and charming acquaintances, the Latin race, for whom we have developed a greater understanding and a sincere friend- ship. ak' 'A' 'A' Top Bow: Albertson, Allen, Amis, Babbitt, Brown Second Row: D.

The Hi-Y is primarily a Christian organization and has a chaplain, Mr. Walter Horn, along with faculty spon- sor and sponsor, Mr. Raymond Berry and Mr. Sam Freeman, respectively. Mr. Horn secures speakers and makes excellent talks himself. The big attraction of the year is the annual Hi-Y banquet, held this year at the Gordon Country Club on Dec. 27. The highlight of the annual banquet is the crowning of the Hi-Y Sweetheart, who had previ- ously been selected by secret ballot. A light fantastic tripping session was featured in the gym on Oct. 23, followed by an all-stag affair 'long about Nov. 26.

Patsy has proved herself worthy of the tribute paid her by the boys of the Hi-Y by her participation in many oi the extrafcurric- ular activities in P. li. S. Being one of the most attractive girls in the Senicr Class is only one of the admirable Qualities which make Patsy the likeable and popular girl that she is and has teen throughout her hiah school career, for her charmina per- sonality is supplemented by more than her share of intelliqence. lt may be said that the boys made an excellent selec- tion in making Patsy their Sweetheart. ff if as Hi-Y Officers President ..., Bobby Antoine VicofPresidcnt . . . liminie Hollis Secretary .......

Each year tive per cent ofthe lunior Class is in- ducted into the society, and the smiles ot self-satisfaction are quite evident when the notice is put on the bulletin board. The next year ten per cent ot the Senior Class is initiated in assembly with the rest ot the stu: dents being certain that they won't ever have the honor and distinction ot being in the National Honor Soci- ety. The members of this society are recognized not only by the pins they wear, but also by their talents and their courteous and amiable disposi- tions. Q had e I 5, ? X 'vu A ,v I -gif- ,ll- .

Hollje Serving With Distinction ln War EVEN THOUGH War and gas rationing has prevented the band's performing at the out of town foot- ball games, the Blue Blazes made many interesting and remarkable maneuvers this year on the foot- ball field. Appearing on numerous occasions at the service centers, the band has contributed its time and talent in assembly and in celebrations of the city. At the beginning of the year the band was without a leader, but due to the capable direction of Miss Patti Bess Lummus, it survived until a director was acquired. Lt. The Blue Blazes Harry Thrasher was kind enough to divide his off-time with us in the afternoons after school. lt seemed as if the good could not last fore ever. Lt. Thrasher Was transferred. The Paris High Band is now under the dexterous supervision of Mr. G. S. Howard, an outstanding musician. To add much zest and attractive- ness to the Paris High Band were the drum major and majorettes. The result of many hours spent in planning and accomplishing vari- ous twirls was shown when they performed at the football games. Hasselrneier, Hill, Reed, L.

Well, in order to enlighten you who are a bit baffled, the initiation of Green Hands is an occasion on which all first year members of the F. F.

Nevertheless, these boys have a swell time while receiving an edu' ljzigr ltt3 dk cation which will enable them to take and hold successful places in the agricultural life of America. We will look to them in the future for our farm products which are so essential. The purpose of their organiza- tion, to develop competent, aggrese sive, rural, and agricultural leadf ership, and to create and nurture a love of country life in these young men, is one worthy of them, the farm youth, who are veritably called the Backbone of the Nation.

Without this section it would have been utterly impossible to publish this l944 ClwL. As busi- ness manager of THE l944 QWL l would like to acknowledge my appreciation to the business and professional men and women of our city for their aid and cooperation. We of the staff urge all students to show their appreciation by patronizing these adver- tisers. I am grateful to the staff and Iunior assistants who put in many hours of work securing ads for this section. These Iuniors in addi- tion to the staff made outstanding records as good, dependable salesladies: Lenore Bland, Betty Fennel, Sally Freeman, Margie Bell, Ann Walberg, Priscilla Scott, Ianet Alter, and Mariwynn Alford. We also wish to thank Bill Woodside, THE PARIS Nnws, South- western Engraving Company, Peerless Printing Company, Amer- ican Beauty Cover Company, and Turner's Studio for their inter- est and cooperation in publishing our annual. l would like to thank our sponsor, Miss Martha l-lankins, for her splendid, efficient guidance in THE l944 OWL. Throughout the advertising section you will find snapshots, jokes, and autograph spaces. These were put in to make the section more interesting to the student body as a whole. May the staff of '45 have the best of luck and success. Sincerely, MELBA WOODARD, Business Manager, THE i944 Cwr.. . I x,k Us T iw I , P Mack dislike.
