OWL'6 , Y Ollie Owl will be the symbol of school life in this forty-second volume of our yearbook. lt is fitting that he should lead you through this edition, since his name was chosen in l9l3 for the yearbook, to signify the wisdom of Paris High School's alumni, students, and teachers. The name and our yearbook have survived disaster, depres- sion, and War as a beacon to all associated with our school. As you turn the pages of this volume, you will get to know Ollie Owl other than as the name of our yearbook, because his activities and student life photography constitute the theme of The 1955 Owl. When you reach the Athletic section, you will find that Ollie Owl has persuaded Willie Wildcat to help guide you, since this section is nearest and dearest to Willie's heart. Willie Wildcat is an old friend whom we met in all his glory in l942. No yearbook for Paris High School would be complete without Willie, and because of this, Ollie will introduce the book to you, and Willie with our Alma Mater will complete our efforts. Ollie invites you to enjoy each page and relive the fun, fellow- ship, and achievements that made up this year at Paris High School. The book is far from perfection, but if it affords you pleasure and happy memories, we will have accomplished our purpose.

The attendance grew and new build- ings had to be added to shelter the ever- growing student body. ln l908 a spanking new building burned to the ground. People in the surrounding community housed some of the classes until a new structure could be erected. Some temporary classrooms were placed on the east side of the school ground. Miss Sallie Seckel, former Latin instructor in Paris High School fthen known as Aikin High Schooll, entered one of these buildings to meet her Latin class and saw an owl hovering near the ceiling. ln order to better acquaint himself with the scholars, the owl flew down and perched on Miss Sallie's arm. The boys in the class promptly carried the bird outside and took a picture of him. ln l9l3 when the first edition of the annual was published, the picture of the bird and name were featured on the cover. The yearbook has retained this name and symbol - The Owl. ln l9l6 fire destroyed Paris, and with the town, the high school building burned. Thus for the second time the school building was ravaged by fire. That year no yearbook was published because of the fire. Other than in l9l6 our yearbook has grown with the years, leaving us a record of forty-two years and forty-one previous editions of The Owl.

Figuring, cutting, and mounting of all pic- tures was a three months' job, a savings of several hundred dollars.

All photography is student Work with the excep- tion of the formal class and club pictures. All art work is student work. Every staff member and every assistant really had to work to get all this done in the allotted time.

An interesting style does not come naturally - it must be achieved with experience. The Cat's Tcrle Staff spent back' breaking hours with make-up work, making the news fit the available space, creating informative and inter- esting headlines, and correcting gal- ley proofs to produce the school newspaper each month. Pounding the pavement to sell ads was additional work. The budget had to be balanced, and the paper had to have extra life. The Staff did a wonderful job to make the paper outstanding. ln its second year, The Cczt's Tale was recognized as a good paper by other school papers in Texas. The staff developed a paper that the student body eag- erly looked forward to seeing each month. Te : T I z Staff Members Business Manager .. . Karen Welborn Make-up Editor . . - . . .

By the width of Larry Click's educated toe, the l954 edition of the Paris High 'Wildcats sgueaked by a strong Sulphur Springs teani in their season debut. Twice our Cats had to corne frorn behind before finally downing their opponents to the tune of l44l2. Click scored the first Wildcat tally on a tenfyard end sweep that cliniaxed an 88fyard Clickf Hensley drive. Frank lackson accounted for the Cats' other touchdown on a 45-yard scarnper. Davis, Pratt, Province, and Larry Ellis were the outstanding Cats on defense. Larry Click Bobby Pratt Captain Captain Back Center Class AAAA Tyler had quite a scare thrown into them before defeating a gallant Wildcat Eleven, l3-U. Had it not been for two long runs, the game could have gone either way, as the statistics were very close. Cnce in the first half, the Cats scored on a Click to Thompson pass play, but the score was nullified by a Paris offside penalty. Click and Kelley led a tough Paris defense that looked good even in defeat. Clicks 32.5 yards punting average was one of the few offensive standouts that Paris showed during the garne.

Paris made its only scoring threat in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter when Click hit lackson with a pass on the Kilgore l5-yard line, but time ran out before the Cats could get off another play. A vengeance-hungry Bearcat eleven, after seven long and disappointing years, tri- umphed over an injury-ridden Wildcat team by a 28-7 margin. I. T. Davis displayed one of the most spectacular defensive jobs ever visualized by SAAA grid fans, as he was responsible for 40 percent of the Wildcat tack- les. Davis also scored all of the points made by Paris after Pratt had blocked a Sherman punt. Without the services of Click, who had gone out in the first half, lackson and Ellis took over the backfield chores in fine fashion. I. T.

On a rain-soaked field, Butch Ellis tossed two touchdown passes to lead the Cats to a lil-ti victory. l-lis first T.D. pass went l2 yards to Frank lackson and his second went 29 yards to l. T. Davis. Click, shifted to fullback, filled our weak spot there and kicked both extra points. Pratt looked aood at his new tackle position, and l-lodaes turned in his best aarne of the year. The Denison Yellowjackets, our aaefold rivals, swarrned into Noyes Stadium only to be thrown back l9-l3. Denison struck first, but the Cats struck back when Click scored on the old statue of liberty play. The third quar- ter belonged to Paris. After Butch Ellis had recovered a Denison funible on the Yellow- jackets' 22, Click hit him with a 22-yard touchdown pass. Paris' last score came on the same play a few minutes later which covered only l9 yards. Davis aaain led the Wildcat line with areat help froni Province, Tooley, and Pratt.

Click, hampered by a knee injury, managed to score twelve points and pass for six more. Click engi- neered a 58-yard scoring drive, going the last 38 himself, for the first Wildcat tally. He tossed a 2l-yard pass to Davis for the second touchdown, and then scored another 6 points before going out in the second half with a knee injury.

Starting in early August, many of the boys began getting themselves in con- dition for another gridiron season. On August 27 our Wildcats donned their suits of armor and really got down to work. When the season's opener with the Sul- phur Springs Wildcats finally arrived, the Wildcats were determined to come out on top, and they did f l4-l2. Next came a 13-O loss to Class AAAA Tyler and a l9-U loss to a huge Kilgore team. With a week off before the conference opener with Sherman, the Wildcats worked hai'-,ler than ever to iron out all the rough spots, but injuries hit even harder. Then suddenly the big game was upon the Cats, and it was an injury-riddled Wildcat team that took the field against one of the strongest teams in Sherman High School history. The hustling Wildcats gave everything that they had, but that wasn't enough, as the Sherman powerhouse ground out a 28-7 victory over Paris. The Cats knew that it would be a long hard climb back to the top, but with their backs to the wall, they began, and climb they did. lt started with a 14-6 win over the Gainesville Leopards. A victory over our arch rivals, the Denison Yellowjackets. ln a game in which more red flags filled the air than footballs, the Wildcats beat Denton's Broncos in a thrilling 26-18 game. In perhaps their best game of the season, the Wildcats slaughtered the Texarkana, Arkansas, Razorbacks in a 33-7 romp. The Paris team really found itself in the Green- ville game. After the Wildcats lost their big offensive gun, Larry Click, they showed the Lions and the fans that the 1954 Paris High team was not a one-man team. Greenville lost 33-20. Then in a blaze of glory, the Wild- cats closed out a good season in a 40-13 massacre of the McKinney Lions. This team, rating a solid second in Dis- trict 3AAA, was one that all Paris High School students could point to with pride. You saw them win, you saw them lose, but you never saw them quit.
