Sail E14 Cugfiuafeol ,945 J 4 Mr. ALTHOUGH OUR superintendent, Mr. A. H. Chamness, was born in Adamsville, Tennessee, and received his early education there, he is certainly a Texan by adoption. At the age of seventeen this young Tennessean came to the- Lone Star State. The next year he found himself teaching school in the old Martin school house. Mr. Chamness received his B. A. Degree from East Texas State Teachers College in l922 and his M. A. Degree from Southern Methodist University seven years later. He officially Joanna Trontman became known at the Bet.ry Rorrn of Texar by making the jimi Texar flag. WE PRESENT Miss Ioy Reeves in a pose most familiar to the students of Paris High. Although her position as secretary to our superintendent, Mr. Chamness, requires the greater part of her time, she always manages to help students who come seeking information and help lndeed, Miss Reeves plays a vital role in our school life with her willingness to help and her fine spirit of co-operation. A. H. Chamness, Superintendent assumed the duties of superintendent of the Paris Public Schools in lanuary, 1931, although he had been acting in that capacity for two years previously during the final illness of Mr. I. G. Wooten. Despite his fourteen years as superintendent, Mr. Chamness still likes his work and is always sorry to see vacation time roll around. He is a favorite with the students who enjoy his tales and anecdotes which he always has to fit every occasion and sit- uation. Here's to a true Texan, our superintendent. Miss Ioy Reeves OWL 11
