Directing Cnr ,Destinies Superintendent A. H. 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.

Alert To Qur Needs t J Principal Thomas S. Ius liXEZ'E9 9 A . f TCW ffl! 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. Q 'Il This is my wish for you. THOMAS S. IUSTISS, Principal ' Paris High School -v p Wt 451 . H it 7, W -,:- 157, l7 M. P .... Need we my more? . Page 8
