A PARIS HIGH SCHOOL Our Favorite Stage OWL l'y0ll.f5 NoYEs STADIUM is the scene of many high tension dramas-the Wildcat football games. Here, after weeks of rehearsal the team meets rival teams during the fall season. THE PLAZA is the perfect loca- tion for a big parade. This is the stage for many pre-game pep rallies starring the Cheer Leaders. THE GYMNASIUM is che set for such productions as Band, Choral, and Physical Education. The Basket- ball season follows football and many come to see our star cagets 12 OWL On ogocafion Ar THE FIELD, football's up- and-coming stars put in hours of practice each week day in prepara- tion for Opening Night. Here is Paris' RECREATION CEN- TER, where the cast of P. H. S. often goes for relaxation. In the spring, many school picnics are held at Lake Crook. The BUSINESS OFFICE is located in the Legion Building Qmiddle row of windows, this sidej. Here all school organizations have their treasury, and money matters are completely managed. OWL 13 14 OW'L iqvclucerd MRS. BETTY JACKSON Secretary to Slzperintendent MR. THOMAS S. JUsTIss Superinlendent Thomas Justiss, our producer, the superintendent of the Paris Independent School District is, above all, our friend. For many years he has devoted his life to our schools, and to him the youth of Paris owes a limitless debt. He has worked tirelessly in our schools, not only as our superintendent, but also as a very able teacher. He is interested in every move- ment to improve the community, and he uses his fluent oratory along with his cheerful and willing labor for the best interest of Paris. Wfith hearts full of love and gratitude we wish for Mr. Justiss con- tinued success and happiness. MOJUCQFJ We, the students of Paris High School, are very grateful for this opportunity to express our appre- ciation to our producers, the school board. They have worked diligently and tirelessly to improve the Paris schools and to further the interests of each student. They donate their time and effort because of their love for boys and girls and their desire to make Paris a better community. We salute the school board and wish them success in all their endeavors.

OWL 15 ie owl. irecfom Our conception of the directors at Paris High School has been like Texas weather, subject to con- stant change. After four years of classroom recitation, make-up sessions, daily visits to the office, we students have arrived at a positive conclusion: they are a group of exceptional people with many more good points than faults. There are those of us who have felt that some faculty members were too strict or over lenient, that some of them talk too much, others not enough, that they, too, are subject to periods of good humor or depression. We have had our clashes over absences, talking during classes, disturbances over the assign- ments, but now we realize these directors through their knowledge and experience, have been giving us our preliminary training in academic subjects, in character and in common sense so that we may be prepared to play successfully our part in the drama of life. irecfom Hand in hand, Mr. Fagg and the senior class of 1950 entered Paris High School with great expec- tations. Now the seniors are leaving, but Mr. Fagg remains to carry on his progressive and ever helpful work of supervising the students. We all love and respect him as a man of high ideals and one who is thoroughly liked by not only the students, but also by the faculty and school board. He is always striv- ing to help and improve Paris High. Mr. Fagg is an ardent fan of the Wildcats, and during a game he can always be found on the sidelines urging the players on. Our principal, who always thinks of his students first, is truly the ideal director. MR. Rom' C. FAGG PM llflflcll Mus. BONNIE TURNER Sewetury 10 Printipal OWL 17 GLUE?

Because there is so much glamour and appealto youth and exceptional physical beauty, some have come Jto think of this expression only as it applies to a few young men and women of the screen. But we are using it in a broader meaning to apply to any boy or girl who is.a definite and outstanding leader in whatever he or she is doing. These stars have been elected as Owl Sweetheart, class favorites, queens, and best all around and lead- ers in various activities by their classmates. In each election there were close seconds, so we have desig- nated them as starletsg and perhaps they will be winners in their nextperformance. ya iff l , N IM LN' ll i ill Ml W1 Hu' 1 V ,tl 'fl S 5 Q 1 S Q 35 E? mg F Q2 Qi XY MARY JANE HITCHCOCK enior auorife BILLY STALLINGS enior auorife KATHRYN HALL unior auorife ALFRED MACKIN unior auorife ANNE XVRIGHT Solahom ore auorife BOBBY JACK GREER .SDUIQL om ore auorife LINDA CRAWFORD gre5Lman auorife EUGENE STALLINGS redhman auorife ,iw ,Q ixq xx , 5, N we .XX x X -'E mx x X S V51 S , we E fx. wc 'XR' '- - : Ce Nw x ' -. .

Between classes, it is an every-day occurrence to see custodians cleaning windows, sweeping floors, dusting, Hxing lockers, testing radiators, or cleaning up ink spots. During Christmas and Easter vacation and summer, the custodians work especially hard, painting, waxing and polishing all the floors and keeping the lawns, walks, courts and lields in perfect order. They are hard at work after students are dismissed and the building is being cleaned up for school the next day. D. C.

Especially is this true for you, because you graduate in a year that marks an important milestone in the history of the Twentieth Century This is, therefore, peculiarly a time when one is inclined to look both backward and forward-back- ward in memory and forward with hope. The story of the last fifty years forms a most inter- esting recital. They have been years of peace, of war, and of intellectual attainment. The first decade of the century witnessed the emergence of what is now called large-scale production. Then came the first world war which the people of that time hoped would end all wars. A depression followed soon thereafter. Dictators arose across the seas, and the memory of the second world war is still fresh in the mind of everyone. The radio, radar, television, jet propulsion, and atomic energy were almost or entirely unknown at the turn of the century. Today they are household words. Never in a similar period have the achieve- ments of the scientific mind been greater. No one can tell with assurance what the future holds. However, we must recognize that it will pre- sent both its opportunities and its problems with their attendant responsibilities. To recognize these opportunities and to solve these problems is the task before you, If we are to face this task intelligently, knowledge is necessary, but knowledge for its own sake is power- less. It is only a tool, but one which, when wisely used, can be employed to lay the foundations of good judgment and wise decisions. That it will so be used is our soundest hope that humanity will be given the right to live and to build a world wherein there shall be peace and good will among all mankind. I congratulate you upon your attainment thus far and extend to you my best wishes as. you face the challenge of the years ahead. Sincerely yours, f 2650906 Paris High School Students, 1950: Congratulations to all of you for bringing forth a wonderful book. The students and faculty have co- operated to make it possible for the staff and sponsor to execute the task. To the student body and especially to my friends the Seniors, I offer two quotations as being worthy for you to remember: The cultivated mind is the guardian genius of democracy. It is the only dictator that free men acknowledge and the only security that free men desire. --Lamar. Were I so tall to reach the pole, Or grasp the ocean with my span, I must be measured by my soul: The mind's the standard of the man. -Watts. Seniors, I congratulate you as a group of future scholars, lawyers, doctors, debaters, teachers, actors, editors, executives, business managers, housekeepers, public speakers, artisans, secretaries, journalists, sales- men, soldiers, sailors, typists, farmers, athletes, mu- sicians, and leaders of the highest order. You are large in numbers, eager in spirit, lofty in ambition, outstanding in ability, great in character, high in achievement, superb in beauty, personality and man- power, and you are worthy of our confidence, our love, and our respect.

The members of the 1950 cast of Paris High School have combined the elements of suspense, action, mystery, romance, and simple, daily living to enact a drama that to many is as wonderlfttl,-as any ever ,penned by any' master. They actors who played any part in athletics, wrote essays, broad- cast over the radio, starred in dramas within a drama, led in meetings, and did a number of things that brought a inoment's recognition. Stagehands, electri- cians,'scientists, and musicians practiced for their role in the show. ,It is hoped thatethis year's drama of 'high school life will 'always be a pleasant memory to its cast.- f'f 1 Z XX Y , , ' , , , , ,ii in liict ' o g 0 1 Q I I I O.. , , .0 0 0 .0 . g Q DOI I .Q I 1 , jack Coleman Dorothy Stinson Belva Hearn Robert Abshire Prerident Vice-Pfrefizfeazl Setwemry Trc'a.r11rer eni or pond om Left to rigbl: Mrs. Lucille Stifel- man, Miss Katie Feeser, Mr. Dixon Shelton, Mrs. W.

CAST: A class of normal, red-blooded, American boys and girls. DIRECTORS: Mr. R. C. Fagg, Mrs. Heath, and many more whom the cast knew and loved and will always remember. ACT I The house lights dim, the curtain rises, and the footlights flood the stage on which 244 rather be- wildered fish,' stand and stare in awe at the impres- sive building in which they are to spend their next four years. Soon the look of bewilderment leaves as the freshman class of 46-47 becomes accustomed to the mad rush between classes, the banging of lockers, the long hours spent in South Hall devising ways to slip out, the other things that go to make up life in Paris High School. Since to be truly successful every group needs a leader, they choose jack Reese as their president. By a Thanksgiving play, a Christmas party, and enthusiasm in all the school activities, this class of normal red-blooded American boys and girls makes a place for themselves in the life at Paris Hi. ACT II As the curtain goes up, we see the children of Act I have become the High-school kids of Act II. They find the fun to come easier and the study harder under the capable Presidency of Charles Deitz, the 228 sophs', enter whole-heartedly into the swing of things with a top-flight campaign for their OWL Sweetheart nominee, Bootsie Wfalker, a St. Patrick Day assembly program, a big spring barn dance, and the election of cheerleaders Mary jo Christian, Hobo Fryar, and Rodney Rogers. Yes, the plot has become complex and interesting as the curtain falls on the 1947-1948 sophomores of Paris High School. ACT III Lights, curtain, action! And action is certainly what we find among the 189 Paris Hi juniors: they are upperclassmen who really make the most of their top lockers, choice assembly seats, voice in school func- tions, and endless other privileges. Spotlights are on Mary jane Hitchcock, class president, and Betty Jo 54 OWL Goss, OWL Sweetheart nominee. However, every mem- ber of the cast plays a major part, as the action of Act III moves swiftly with plenty of snap and spark. Added to their required American history, our versa- tile characrers publish the newspaper, Paris HiLites, sponsor a colosal Stunt Nite, put on a barn dance, and in various other ways raise funds. The climax of these activities is the 1949 Junior-Senior reception. We shall let the curtain descend on a gymnasium transformed into a beautiful garden of Moonlight and roses filled with music and dancing. ACT IV The curtain rises on the fourth and final act and what have we here! At first there seems utter confu- sion, as the stage is filled with teen-agers rushing around shouting you gettumj' quoting Shakespeare and Pope in high dramatic form, muttering abx 9CaxD rnellifluous, and in every other way imaginable pursuing the fields of higher learning. Yes, these are the 1950 Seniors. The action moves with speed for each member of the cast feels that he must crowd in all he can before the play is over. Extra spotlights are needed for the many who re- ceive honors. Under the most capable leadership of president Jack Coleman the class moves through their final action on this stage: dances are given, a yearbook is published, an example is set for the underclass- men, a Senior class play to top all others is poduced, rings and jackets are received and worn with pride, and in conclusion, a gift of backdrop curtains for the school stage is presented. Since all good plays must come to an end we shall leave this one at its highest point as the seniors walk slowly down the aisles of the Paris High School auditorium to the grand, yet sad, strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' The curtain makes its final descension on a superb performance in the spring of 1950 . Marthanne Hodges and Frances Vinson NEWS REEL 34. 5... ...1 .. IQ J.: .si If you see a long line stretching from one door inside Paris High School, don't think they're waiting for the latest Montgomery Clift or Guy Madison picture, they may be merely waiting for their ex- cuses to admit them to class. These tickets are neces- sary equipment if any student has been absent or comes in too late for the first period. Other duties performed by these glamor girls are widely different. When you are sitting peacefully in American History but are disturbed by a girl who looks like Elizabeth Taylor, don'r get alarmed, some- one in the office probably wants to know where you I . , ,V 56 were during the second period. On the telephone if KWH ' you think the lovely voice which says, Paris Higbf 7?

This eulogy is dedicated to our own glamor girls, the office assistants. twiki Hollywood has nothing on Paris High School when it comes to a stage. One of the biggest and most im- portant improvements of the year was remodeling the auditorium. The PHS stage got a new floor and a whole new lighting system, including vari-colored foot and overhead lights. Work on the stage started during the summer, and was completed in November. 'kittt The bookrooim has been completely remodeled and Miss Beatie is in charge. Another new improvement at Paris High this year was an accredited driver's training course. A new Chevrolet was received last September so that instruc- tor J. C. Coker could conduct both classroom and on-the-highway instructions for a total of seventy- eight students. 'k'k'k'k'k The Athletes and Band are not the only ones to make interesting trips. On February 16th, a number of Spanish club mem- bers attended a most colorful program given by a group of Spanish dancers, direct from Spain, in Mc- rlin Hall, Dallas, Texas. The Senior Class, 160 strong, traveled February 24, by bus, to Commerce to attend a meeting to promote Citizenship with John Ben Shephard as guest speaker. 'ki k'k'A' It is a wonderful custom at PHS for each Senior class to leave behind it a gift. This year the class of 1950 left behind new back drop curtains with Jack Coleman making the following' presentation: Mr. Fagg, It is customary each year for the Senior class to present to our school some token as to what Paris High has meant to us in our four years here. Last year the Seniors thought that the most serv- iceable gift to be enjoyed by both the student body, faculty, and the public would be new front cur- tains for our stage. Since that time a complete new lighting system has been laid. This year the Seniors thought that the most appropriate thing they could do would be to finish the job and make our stage complete. Therefore, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1950 I present to Paris High School these new backdrop curtains to serve as a lasting reminder of our love, our pride, and our appreciation for our school. owi. ss Act ll: Henri is furious, Kerry is con- enior pa, Dont Take My Penny by Anne Coulter Martens Friday, March 24, 1950 P.

Take My Penny was successfully pre- sented hy the senior class on March 24, 1950. The story concerned the ambitions of Penny Pringle, a sixteen-year-old high school girl, who had dreams of going to Hollywood as a star. The plot is complicated when Kerry, Penny's boy friend, resorts to tactics of his own in order to keep Penny from turning into a glamour girl. A real Hollywood producer arrives at the Pringle home to discover a new star, rut Penny gives up her glorious career to play tennis with Kerry in the spring tournament. Act lllz SALLY.

For the first time a Freshman was elected OWL Sweetheart and this really put their class into the spotlight. Their Sophomore year they were directed by Miss Donaldson, who gave them the perfect training which every understudy should learn. On entering their third year of training in the great drama of life participation in all extra-curricular activities was one of the mottoes of the junior class this year. They supported all the school's clubs with overwhelming enthusiasm. Regular attendance at the parties and dances, sponsored by the junior class as well as all the activities sponsored by other school groups, was another point in their favor. Among their very own productions were: renumbering all the doors in the high school, having charge of concession stands for the Greenville and Highland Park foot- ball games, and sponsoring a Stunt Night which was a huge success. But their super production was when they turned the stage over to their favorite stars- the Seniors-and entertained with the junior-Senior Prom. Sports, too, received a great deal of their attention. junicr class members ranked well up on the list of outstanding leaders in every field. High achievements in sports were equaled academically. B2 OWL The junior class proved to the school that they knew how to pick a cast when they selected Alfred Mackin, Melba Robinson, Mary Alice Horn, and Billy Alexander to help Miss Donaldson direct their activities. With a part such as these Juniors have already enacted, the class of 1950 need have no misgivings in turning over the leading roles .in Paris High School to them. i 1 1 I . 0 ' l ' Jr . .SZIOLOIWLOPQ5 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Bobby Jack Greer Darlene Carey Betty Ford Dwan Lemmond Premleazl Vice-Prefidem Secretary Treatfmfr Sophomore Sponsors Lef to right: Mr. Felix Gibson, Mr. C.

They elected jerry Ashford, Jimmy Christian, Jimmy Heavner, and Bertha Carter as their president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively, to lead them through their first year in high school. Their activity list included a dance, assembly program, picnic, club work, and sports. Stepping in the center of the 1949-1950 spotlight, we find that they are headed by able directors, Mr. Eugene Thielman and Bobby Jack Greer. Assist- ant directors are the other officers, Darlene Carey, Betty Ford, and Dwan Lem- mondg and the co-sponsors, Miss Genevieve Myers, Miss Mattie Belle Crook, Mr. Felix Gibson, Mr. C. A. Dempsey, and Mr. Rufus Edwards. On December 9th, they started rolling 'em with a party at which they danced and played games. The class has held concession stands at football games during both years. With membership in the Tennis Teens, Band, Library Club, Drama Workshop, Latin Club, Spanish Club, F.F.A., and F.H.A., the class is taking part in extra- curricular activities ranging from sports to literary work. Although cupid tried to keep their hearts merry, sorrow was brought into their lives n he death Danny Perkins, a fellow classmate.

Action! Camera! As the show begins, we find the promising young actors and actresses just beginning their career. This is their first big production. There are 230 members in the cast with Larry Simmons, producer, and Mrs. W. G. Sluder, director. The place is Paris High School and the time is the school year 1949-1950. During the year the class held the concession stand at the Bonham football game, and on December 16th they had a Christmas dance at the gym. Square dancing, a program, and Santa Claus were enjoyed by all who attended. They held an active part in school elections with Jere Wright their Owl sweetheart nominee and Linda Crawford the Christmas queen nominee. There were quite a number of freshmen in the Latin Club, Tennis Teens, and Drama Workshop. There was very good talent in the class, and much of it was shown on the Drama Workshop radio programs. The class had its assembly program the week of February 14th, and presented a stunt in the junior Class Stunt Night program. The class closed the production with a picnic at Lake Crook. Their wonderful year was marred only by the death of Mildred Maxwell, one of their fellow students. These boys and girls have three more years of high school life ahead of them, and we have every reason to believe that they will be happy and success- ful years. Our confidence in the 5 Wt , ai X class of '53 is unlimited and we know that they will help P.H.S. take top honors. fl Q- as if 15 .Air 'm jg, l Z ' 2-in , ,I r f Qi Fw ,A 1 Fi' lilf jarring .xdffracfionfi ' K, JANUARY l Q jan. 2-Set that alarm clock again!

The sales campaign really was inaugurated during registration but was presented formally to the student body at the first assembly by business manager Lucille Young and under her leadership a grand total of 650 subscriptions were obtained. Claiborne Bell, the advertising manager, with the co-operation of the whole staff surpassed the advertisements of other years in numbers. Show Time was chosen as our theme and while our inspirational lines pertain to the the- ater, we have used more movie terms as it is the movie with which we are familiar. 1 Lucille Young jean Cecil Claiborne Bell 1.:!lJf7ZL'I.1' llfl4llZL1x'i6l' Ayrociule Editor Adl'8flI.l'f77g Mamzgcr of pario Yearbook work is a co-operative affair with staff members helping one another in order to meet ccming deadlines. In this way, all mem- bers have a taste of all jobs and learn the de- tails that go into the printing of the book. On the whole, the members of the 1950 staff co-operated with each other remarkably well. The reason for this could be that they had so much in common - you know, headaches, dead- lines, writers' cramps, etc. All was not work, however, for the staff entertained Mr. Harwell with a picnic supper and always spread lunch when they worked at night. They entertained with several social functions in the spring. Fifteen members of the OWL staff and two junior assistants attended THSPA at Denton, December 8, 9, and 10. By participating in con- ferences and attending lectures the delegates gathered many valuable ideas for the improve- ment of our yearbook.

Reel II: After our successful circula- tion campaign, we really put our heads to the grindstone for two months, during which we drew, cut, and mounted panels. Reel III: We surpassed our advertising quota of 552,000 with the co-operation of our 26 ad sellers. Reel IV: We appreciated the able as- sistance of Mr. jess Harwell in instruct- ing us in mounting pictures. We were able to save valuable hours of time by following his instructions. Reel V: We members of the OWL Staff were rewarded on January 9 for many hours of hard work when we received our letter jackets. For us, this was one of the highlights of the year.

The music is furnished by the Paris High School Band and Chorus directed by Mr. Floyd Weger. Many of us spend our time enjoying music in all forms. Our relaxation and contentment may come from just listening to a favorite musical 4 f number or in playing a musical instrument. Whether his ambition is to toot a horn, beat a drum, or just sing, the music enthusiast in Paris High School is offered every oppor- tunity to cultivate his desire through the able insruction of Mr. Weger and Miss Celia Donaldson. Many hard hours of work and practice are required of music students, but the students themselves say the tedious hours are worth the result. On April 21, 106 students representing Paris High School climbed into buses bound for Longview and the Region 4 Chorus Contest. As usual, they outdid themselves and brought glory to Paris High School. Among the many performances presented by the Chorus during the year was a Christmas Cantata sung in assembly and at the service clubs. The 1949-50 Band of Paris High School was in the spotlight quite a number of times. At every football game, both at home and out-of-town, the Band performed intricate and colorful maneuvers on the field at half time. After football season was over, the Band was transformed from a marching band into a concert band. On March 24, they at- tended a Band Clinic at Commerce. The entire band - all 88 of them - together with the Cho- rus looked forward all year to the Highlander Fes- f tival which took place in Dallas. April I4 found the Paris High School Blue Blazes at the Region 4 Band Contest in Nacogdoches. Both of these organizations, the Band and Chorus, have received outstanding notices from the critics and columnists during the past year. They have also received many medals, plaques, and trophies. If you don't believe it just look in the trophy case. 104 OWL .girige Ma fke Zinn!

Last year with only one returning regular they coached their team to a second place spot in District 5AA, but this year with only one returning letterman they coached their team to the championship of District 7AA. Because of this line record we wish to show our apprecia- tion to the coaches of Paris High School.

Tennis The Paris Wildcat netters broke the string of 11 straight victories in District 8AA tennis. Tennis in 1949 was coached by Mr. C. A. Dempsey. Only one 1948 regular returned.

Paris scored in the first 5 minutes of play as Morrow went all the way on a plunge over tackle from the 36. White kicked the point. Paris counted again on the first play of the second period after recovering a fum- ble on the Sulphur Springs 42. Again Whites conversion was good. LI. E. Christian scored in the third period for Paris, going over from the 5. Sulphur Springs tallied against the re- serves once but could make no more. Buddy Alexander made an average of 6 yz1r 'lspearhead the Paris attack. The whole Paris team played a good defensive game, limiting Sulphur Springs to 51 yards gained on the ground. Lower left: jess Alford Paris 7 Kilgore O The Wildcats made it 2 in a row by whipping the visiting Kilgore Bulldogs in the mud. Billy Alexander set up the only touch- down by blocking and recovering a Bull- dog punt on the Kilgore 21 early in the second quarter. A 5-yard offside penalty against Kilgore moved the ball to the 16. Morrow passed to Vickery on the I-foot line, from which point Christian plunged across. The only Kilgore threat came in the third period, when the Bulldogs drove to the Paris 22. Due to the lack of reserves, jess Alford, Robert Abshire, joe White, Raymond Berry. jr., E. Christian and Sammy Mor- row never left the game. Bobby Buckman left only when his pants were torn.

Morrow scored Paris's first touchdown exactly 5 plays after jack Reece recovered an opponents fumble on the Palestine 29. Morrow ran a bootleg around right end. Palestine went ahead 7-6 in the second period, but their lead was short-lived, for the Paris Wildcats took the ensuing kick- off and went all the way to paydirt. This time it was Christian plunging across from the 9. joe White added the extra point with a perfect conversion to make the score 13-7. Paris dominated the second half, but could not tally again. Sammy Morrow attempted 22 passes and completed l2 for a total of 130 yards. Lower left: Jimmie Sherley Paris 33 Bonham O The Bonham Warriors came to Paris for the opening game of the District 7AA race. k,Buddy Alexgnder scored 2 Paris touch- downs, on on a 3-yard plunge and the other in the third period on a 56-yard punt return. The first came as a result of Robert Abshire's recovery of a Bonham fumble on the Warrior 34. Eyeballs Stallings also added 12 points to the Paris score. He scored once shortly after another fumble recovery on the Bonham 54 and again after he and McCollum had engineered a short drive. Morrow added the remaining 6 points by scoring after a march from the Paris 22. joe White booted 3 out of 4 extra point tries. Coach Berry used most of the reserves in this game, and they proved themselves to be very capable. Y A Wildcat loses a Mwat. The Warriors wearied the Wildcats.

It was the worst defeat that Denison suf- fered at the hands of the Cats in the 18 games played between the 2 schools. Although Denison held Paris in check the first half, the Wildcats came back in the second half to count 27 points. The Wildcats, on 20 straight line plays by Morrow and Christian, drove 79 yards to paydirt after taking the second-half kickoff. Denison was never in the ball game after that, for they fumbled twice to set up Wildcat touchdowns. Morrow, Chris- tian and sC0red the re- maining Paris touchdowns, and Bobby Myres booted 3 extra points. The Wildcat line held Denison to a mere 89 yards rushing, as compared to 259 for Paris. Lou er right: Franklin Kyle Paris 39 Sherman 14 Paris ran up its largest score of the season in downing the Sherman Bearcats for its third district victory. Morrow made 5 touchdowns and 1 ex- tra point to spark the Paris offense. He returned a Sherman kickoff 90 yards for l of the touchdowns. Christian crossed the double stripe twice, once on an end sweep and again on a screen pass that ate up 32 yards. Raymond Berry, jr., did a fine bit of defensive playing and caught a touch- down pass thrown by.Buddy Alexander. Bobby Buckman cleared the way for Wildcat runners with many key blocks. jess Alford, Paul Stuart, Neil Whitaker, Robert Abshire, Billy Alexander, jerry Redus, Franklin Kyle and Bobby Myres did a StOL1E job of defending when the chips were down.

Paris drove 55 yards in ll plays the first time it got the ball. Morrow went over from the 2 for Paris's first touchdown and scampered 72 yards for the second and last. Late in the second period, the Leopards had a touchdown called back for roughing the kicker. Gainesvilles score came as the result of a fumble after Paris had taken over on downs with a brilliant goal line stand. The game ended with another Wildcat stand in the shadow of their own goal posts. Though every Wildcat player was great on defense, Berry and Buckman shone like diamonds among pebbles with their fine tackles at crucial moments. Lower left: Billy Burge Paris 20 Greenville 0 The Paris Wildcats finished the regular season by defeating the Greenville Lions decisively. Once again Sammy Morrow led the attack for the Wildcats. He scored all 3 touchdowns and gained 74 yards passing and 108 yards rushing. The best defensive player of the day was Bobby Buckman. The loss of Raymond Berry, jr., varsity end, was a crushing blow to the hopes of Paris fans for a win over Highland Park. Coach Berry cleared the bench of re- serves for this game. The 5 Paris tallies came as the results of a 43'yard drive, a 71-yard march and a blocked Lion punt. The most spectacular run of the day was a 32-yard gallop by Morrow for the first score. The Wildcat line proved that it had what it takes by holding the opposing team scoreless for the fourth time of the season. This must be the last half--Gainesville. A stone wall, maybe?

THE CHEERLEADERS BACK THE PERFORMERS The cheerleaders, under the direction of their spon- sor, Miss Genevieve Myers, played an important role in the 1949-50 athletic season. They were unusually good and could always be depended upon to think up cute and original stunts for the assemblies and football games. The pep and enthusiasm with which they led the yells at each and every game were proof enough of their spirit of loyalty and co-operation to the school, football, and basketball teams.

This feature was filmed on our favor- ite stage, Paris High School, with the exception of a few scenes which were shot on location. We should like to present the administration, the faculty, and the student body an Academy Award for being the best supporting cast during the past school year. We, the staff of '50, should like to show our apprecia- tion to Miss Katie Feeser for her work in directing the production of this box office attraction by giving her an Oscar. Since the box office proceeds were not sufficient to finance this production, movie scouts were dispatched to procure financial assistance from the business men and women of Paris. Show your appreciation by patronizing them. In filming this production we have strived to portray fully the activities at P.H.S. from the time the director yelled 'iCameras! Lights! Roll 'Em! until he gave the command to Curl We hope you movie critics will enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed producing this book. Some of you were the leading actors and actresses, you others were stand-ins. Although some played more important roles than others, everyone's acting was necessary to make this production a success. I should like to take this means of thanking all of you for your splendid co-operation.
