Our Alma Mater has special sound effects of its own. The slamming of the lockers, the banging of the seats, the notes of the musi- cal instruments, the applause at the assemblies, and the fluttering of the programs at Commencement are a small portion of the sounds of our busy time in Paris High. As sounds cannot be printed, we have drawings throughout The Sounds of Qur Time Edition which illustrate the many noises heard in the corridors, class- rooms, assemblies, and at various parties. The 1948 Owl, the thirty-fifth edition of our yearbook, with its pictures, write-ups, and drawings will serve as a reminder of the many things that we have done during the past year. May the sounds of '48 be ever fresh in your memory as you thumb through this volume of The Owl.

Our Superintendent OWL IZ l A 1 f Mr. Thomas S. lustiss Superintendent To the Seniors of 1948: Graduation from high school closes for each of you a very important chapter in the book of your lifetime. lf it has been well written, it will be a source of many pleasant memories in the years ahead. You are soon to begin a new chapter. What the nature of its contents will be, no one can, with assurance, fortell. lt will be largely what you choose to make it. Of this, however, you may be assured: if you write it well, it will demand the very best you have each day you live. If l were to offer one single suggestion to you, it would be that you ever be alive to the present with its unfolding possibilities. Some one has said that we learn from the pastg we dream of the future, but we live in the present. lt is often too easy to sigh wistfully over the past and dream sentimentally about the future, and while thus so doing let the present hour go by unimproved and returnless. Therefore, if this is to be a chapter of merit, use each hour of the day to make it so. Many will be the problems with which you will be confronted. At the present time there are many in this world, but you have all the resources of youth at your command P-courage, enthusiasm, confidence, and others. Use them and write well. Yes, may you continue to learn from the past and to dream some of the future, but do not forget to be constantly alive to the present, Sincerely, f Our School Board Members of the Board of Education President . . . Mr. O, W. Boswell Vice-President . . . Mr. Gilbert Cecil Secretary . . ....... . Mr. D. C. lrlollancl Mrs. W. H. Lightfoot Mr. George Waterman Mr. Hardy Moore Dr. l. L. lopling Tl-IE MEMBERS ot the Paris School Board are constantly striving to improve and better our school system. The School Board is selected by the voters ot the Paris Independent School Districtp they receive no salary tor their ettorts. Their responsibilities are the overseeing ot the school property, making rules, and the employing and discharging of teachers and other employees. They always do what they consider best for the school and its students. We owe much to these civic minded citizens who so willingly give their time and energy for the betterment of our school, Mr. O W. Boswell President Paris Board ot Education OWL IR Our Principal OWL 14 ,..-gl Mr. R. C. Fagg Principal l ' To THE Staff and Sponsor of the Owl I extend congratulations for publishing another fine book. To the students, and especially to the Seniors, I Want to express my sincere appre- ciation for the loyalty, co-operation, and valuable contributions which you have given to Paris High School. Today practically the Whole World is in a state of unrest. The domestic and inter- national problems facing the governmental leaders of all countries today exceed those of just a few years ago both in numbers and complexity. Consequently, in America, where the people are responsible for government, the problems confronting the good citizens are multiplied in comparison with those of our fathers and grandfathers. Then, with the same reasoning, your problems today and problems that you are bound to face from today will be greater than those of our generation. I would leave this thought with you to keep. Interpersonal relations, business rela- tions, labor relations, even international relations, depend, if they are to prosper, on good faith, decent intentions, and mutual confidence. It is hoped that during your high school career you have matured in judgment, learned some of the real values in life, grown in spirit and gained something toward preparation for the years to come. When international relations are ruffled no more and mutual trust and respect exist among peoples again, may each of you be prepared to pursue a life of peace, happi- ness, and success and secure all the bountiful blessings that your Divine Creator has in store for you. .fffyf 2747?

This was the burning question on the lips of all during the week preceding October 23. Who will it be? Each student cast his votes for the girl he wanted for Owl Sweetheart from his class when he bought his Owl. lf the yearbook was bought on or before registration days CSeptember 9th and lOthD, the student's choice received ten votes. After registration each payment was worth only one Vote. Then in assembly on Thursday, October l6, the nominee from each class was announced-Bettye Lou White, Seniorp Elizabeth Ann Chism, Iuniory Gloria Walker, Sophomoreg and lda Terrell Boswell, Freshman. For a week all you could see were campaign posters and ribbons, and all you could hear were campaign slogans. The race was hot and heavy. Finally the big night came-the Owl Get Acquainted Party, October 23. Each student cast his vote for the girl he wanted for Owl Sweetheart. The air was full of excitement. Then Byron Wortham, Owl editor, opened the slip of paper and read the name of the 1948 Owl Sweetheart - lda Terrell Boswell. The favorites, a boy and girl from each class, were elected by secret ballot by the members of their respective classes. The Owl Sweetheart and the nominees were barredp all others were eligible. The boys and girls in the Senior Who's Who were also elected by secret ballot by the Senior class. Also featured in our favorite section are the lunior Rotarians - eight boys chosen by the faculty to represent Paris High at the Botary Club meetings. Each boy attended all the Rotary Club meetings for one month. These boys were chosen by the faculty on the basis of high morals, intelligence, and fine character. The Christmas Oueen was selected by secret ballot by all the stu- dents. The first election was held on November 17. Then in assembly on November 20, the six nominees were announced - Elizabeth Ann Chism, Betty Hornbeck, Peggy Scott, Peggy Short, Wanda Swaim, and Bettye Lou White. A few days later the run-off was held, and Peggy Scott was elected Christmas Oueen. Peggy selected Iohn Yeager as her escort. Then on December 2, in the city Christmas parade, riding in a beautiful Ford convertible, Peggy reigned as queen of Paris High School. Mr. and Miss Personality were also elected by the entire student body. As each student went to have his Owl picture made, he cast his vote for the boy and the girl he wanted for Mr. and Miss Personality. They are the boy and girl in Paris High School with the most personality, friendliness, willingness to co-operate, and all-around good citizenship. They are featured on two of our division pages as well as in the Favorite section doing some of the things that you do in and out of classes. Well, here they are, your 1948 Owl favorites.

Coach Berry is recognized over the state as one ot the top-notch coaches in high school football. ln the tuture we see even greater teams and here's wishing good luck in the future to Coach and his Wildcats. Helping Mr. Berry throughout the season were two ot the most popular teachers in Paris High School. They were Mr. Paul Lively, line coach, scout, and track coach and Mr. Peter Barnett, assistant coach. These three hold the respect and admiration ot the entire student body in Paris High School. Three other men who have a tough job on which little glory is heaped are: Felix Hoot Gibson, coach ot the B Team, Mr. Thomas Echols, coach of the Super Nubs and Tennis coach, and Mr. Ted Carley, new in Paris this year coming down from Taylor, coach ot the Hot Shots and basketball coach.

September 19 e- The light but speedy 1947 edition of the Wildcats opened its season with 12-O defeat handed it by the heavier Tyler Lions on a rain-soaked Lion stadium. The Cats, operating without the services of two regulars, were outweighed and outplayed as the rugged Lions commanded a definite edge all the way. Reserve Kenneth Dabbs kept Paris in the game with splendid punt- ing. As always Floyd turned in a great defensive game. September 264Behind the great punting and defensive play of the Longview Lobos, the Paris Wildcats suffered their second downfall of the campaign. Crippled by Reddell's in- jury, the Wildcats' offense just fizzled out. Paris' only chance came in the third quarter when Thielman broke through to recover a fumble on the Longview 15, but a pass interception broke up the threat. The Wildcat offense bogged down time after time as Ioe Fagan and Bobby Floyd failed to click. October 3- Getting in the chips for the first time this season, the reor- ganized Cats from Paris pushed over Crozier Tech to the tune of 30-7. Paris' offense clicked both in the air and on the ground as the Cats completed 9 out of l5 passes and made l84 yards on the turf. Superb line play from Chesney, Williams, and Thiel- man added to the game. Circle: Football Queens, Feggy Sllort and Peggy Scott pose with that very important District SAA trophy. Second: Floyd played a good game against Longview although we did get beat. Bottom: A typical shot of Mr. Iustiss at one of our football games. This one was taken when we played Crozier Tech. Yea, White! October 10--Cashing in on a recovered fumble and with a sensa- tional catch, the Waco Tigers slipped past the Wildcats 7-O in a hard-fought game at Waco. The Cats seemed vic- tory bound as their offense clicked at first, but the Tigers dug in to halt all Paris threats. Billy Martin brought the fans to their feet as he charged around left end and broke loose for a 44-yard jaunt only to be pulled down from behind. The Cats were driving toward the double stripe when the game ended. October 17iBreaking back into the Win Column once again, the Paris Wildcats rolled over a weak Sulphur Springs team 43-U at Noyes Stadium. Enjoying only a seven point lead at half time, the Cats came back strong in the second half for the victory. Everything Paris tried worked, as Martin scored twice, Fagan twice, and Floyd and Dabbs each crossed the double stripe once. The Battle of the Wildcats turned out to be a massacre. October 24-Playing one of the closest grid games in the history of SAA, the Wildcats battled the Deni- son Yellow lackets to a 7-7 deadlock in front of an overflow crowd at Noyes Stadium. The visiting Bugs broke the ice in the second quarter with a 65- yard march to the double stripe that put them seven points in the lead at half time. Coming back strong, the Cats out-gained and out-played Deni- son, scoring their touchdown late in the fourth period on a pass from Floyd to Fagan, the same combination was good for the extra point. The penetra- tions were l-l, and the first downs were ll-l l, but Paris made 186 yards rushing as compared to 175 for Deni- son. This gave Paris the slight edge. Top Snap: Loading the bus for Waco. The players do their part even with the manual work. Second: The Sherman game with Reddell lug- ging the ball. This game practically gave Paris the District title. Circle: Floyd carries the ball against Denison OWL 93 OWL 94 Yea, Wildcats! October 30fStill a little dizzy from the last encounter, the Wildcats crushed a spirited team from Bonham, 41-6. Beddell, who has been injured early in the season, showed great form as he crossed into pay dirt three times. Chesney and Stevenson con- tributed much to the win by snagging passes and by great defensive play. November 7-Paris Hi practically sacked up the District when they de- feated the Sherman Hi Squad, l2-7. The Bearcats led the Paris bunch 7-6 at the half, but after a pep talk and a little determination, the Cats went on to score and take Sherman. lnstru- mental in winning the game, Floyd literally jumped over the defense to score both of the Wildcat scores. Edmond Ellis aided all the runners with his great blocking form. Sher- man's score came when Ben Harmon flipped a 46-yard pass to Bobby Reid. November 14-After scaring the wits out of everyone, the Wildcats came back from a scoreless first half to score three times in the second and defeat Gainesville, 2U-O. Wallace Wil- liams, 209-pound tackle, charged through to recover a punt, blocked by Hugh Antoine, to give Paris' first score. Fagan scored on a Statue of Liberty, and Floyd intercepted Lewis' pass to score the third and final score. Top Pic: This was snapped just as Floyd com- pleted one of his jumps against Sherman.

November 27-The Paris High School Wildcats copped the SAA District title with a 57-2 decision over the Lions from Greenville. Greenville never came close in the affair, and all the Wildcats played. Louis Pratt, Andy lackson, and Charles Martin turned in a great game by breaking up the visitors' plays with much suc- cess. Heddell showed top form as he scored three times in the affair. December 6-Playing on a flooded Ownby Stadium, the Wildcats played the beefy Highland Park Scots to a scoreless deadlock. The Cats were bowled from the state schoolboy playoffs by a narrow statistical loss. Both teams played their hands care- fully, looking for breaks that were bound to come. The Scots cashed in on a break in the fading minutes of the first half when they recovered a Cat fumble and made their lone pene- tration. The Cats' penetration came when Reddell got off a booming 64- yard punt that died on the Scot 9-yard line. The Scots punted to the Wild- cats only to see Ioe Fagan ,race back to the Scot 24-yard line. Then it was Fagan, Reddell, and Floyd to the 19- yard marker for a penetration. The game was tied until Rusty Russell got back, faked a kick, then ran to pick up 12 yards for the winning first down. No definite scoring threat came as the game turned out to be a punt- ing duel. Reddell emerged with a 36- yard average, which was great for the weather. Circle: The Paris Wildcats just before the ball is snapped against Greenville.

The B Team THE FUTURE Wildcats of Paris High School, coached by Felix Hoot Gibson, made an impressive record and a bright outlook for the coming years with six wins, two losses, and a tie. These boys deserve to be recog- nized, as Well as the boys on the Varsity, for their desire to Win and for their fighting spirit. Besides their schedule with Class A teams, the B team ran the all-important plays oi the Varsity's opponents. Much credit should go to them for their services and loyalty to the Wildcats. The B team had their nights as Well as the A team. Playing many thrill- packed games, the smaller Cats battled the Greenville B team to a scoreless tie, with each team threatening. The boys traveled to Denison and Won by the score ot 20-19. Thrillers like these were unreeled throughout the season. The Hotshots THE HOTSHOTS, under the leader- ship of Coach Ted Carley, played a rugged three game schedule, losing all three contests. This team was out- weighed and out-classed each time, but should be given credit for its hustle and spirit. Playing their first game in Hugo, the Hotshots were turned back, 22-13. They showed lots of spark but not enough scoring punch to keep up with the Buffaloes. Playing a return match with the Hugo team in Paris, the Hotshots suffered their second defeat, l9-O. The Hotshots played hosts to the Sulphur Springs B team in their last game. ln this contest Sul- phur Springs scored at will, mauling Jctris 40-5. The Super Nubs HAVING THE most impressive record of all, the Super Nubs, under the direction of Coach Echols, played a ten-game schedule, winning all ten games. The Super Nubs played games with all of the grammar schools and played Sulphur Springs two games. Working out rain or shine, these future Wildcats should be given credit for their successful season. The Nubs downed all the ward schools in a double round robin and at the end of the season beat the City Ward School All'Stars, l3-6. They defeated the Sul- phur Springs lunior High School twice, 6-O and 27-O. Circle: Sammy Morrow was out to get his man in this B Team game with Bogota.

Although marked improvement was shown, the Wildcat cage team was handed a 35-17 defeat by the Wildcats of Sulphur Springs. Winless but improved, the, Wildcats dropped a pair of games to Gladewater and Texarkana, 45-28, and 41-20, respec- tively. The losing streak was broken as the Wildcats won the first conference game of the season from the Gainesville Leopards 34-32. Frank Wear was the indi- vidual high point man with eight, although every man on the Paris team found the hoop at least once. We got edged on the short end of a 30-27 count with the Green- ville Lions. Wear, Ellis, and Locke were the high scorers with eleven, eight, and six points respectively. The strong Bearcat quintet proved too much for the underdog Wildcat team as they romped over us to the tune of 51-38. The highly rated War- riors from Bonham were held to their lowest score of the season by Coach Car- 1ey's Wildcats. The score was 30-ll. The Wildcats scratched their way out of the cellar at the expense of the Gainesville Leopards. Trailing all the Way in score, the Wildcats put on the steam in the fourth period and defeated the Leopards 31-28. .1 -wa-fs-urv ?' The Fatal Figures The Greenville Lions defeated us for the second time this season, 28-17. The game was close until the start of the fourth period, and then Greenville ran wild with a seven point scoring spree. Frank Wear was high point man with six, and Edmond Ellis close behind with five. The Wildcats were bitterly defeated 45-22 by the Sher- man Bearcats in a contest that was close for a half. Ellis was the high point man for the Cats with nine. The Wildcats settled back into the fifth place in district with a 37-25 defeat at the hands of the Denison Yellowiackets. The two teams battled evenly for three quarters, but gradually the visitors began to pull away in the fourth period. Edmond Ellis had the sharp- est eye for the Wildcats, since he parted the nets for twelve points. ln the final game of the conference season the Wild- cats were defeated by champs of the dis- trict, Bonham. The Warriors possibly rated the Wildcats as pushovers, but the Cats scored first and led 8-3 at the end of the first quarter. The game rocked along about even for the rest of the half, and then Bon- ham exploded in the second half to raise the final score to 60-28. Edmond Ellis, our most consistent performegscored eighteen of our valuable points. The Lions from Mc- Kinney edged the Wildcats 52-45 in a free scoring contest. OWL 101 3? as Q ..

Well, this year we got a limited number ot issues. The Iunior Class under the direction of Miss Martha Hanlcins turned out The Paris HiLites. We firmly believe that this paper already ranks as high in literary content as any other mimeographed paper in the state. The co-editors, the statt, and all who have contributed have turned out a paper of which We can be proud. The Iuniors have worked long and hard to give you the kind ot paper you Want. The survival of a school newspaper depends upon the interest and en- thusiasm ot the student body. It is hoped that the students ot Paris High will merit a regularly published paper soon.

' I would like also to express thanks to Miss Martha Hankins who has given us her time and wisdom thispast year. For the entire staff and all of the assistants I can truthfully say We have learned to love and respect her.
