OWLU6 STELLA MAE CRAIN- Declicatee Puts in Full Day - SPARKLE, WIT, RADIANCE - these were the Words which char- acterized our choice of dedicatee for THE 1963 OWL. Her cheerful smile and unfaltering desire to assist brightened the day of all around her - students, fellow teachers, and friends alike. Always offering a comforting word and a helping hand when one was needed most, she won respect of faculty and love of students. Her English classes were enlightened by her interesting anecdotes and unpredictable humor. A devoted teacher, a wise counselor, a loyal supporter of Paris High, a published poet, this was the person to Whom all PHS turned for advice and a sincere application of the Golden Rule. For her rare ability to combine fun and work, to add pleasure and satisfaction to learning, to be a true friend, and to dedicate her all to usg we give our Golden Year, THE 1963 OWL, to you, Miss Stella Mae Crain.

STAFF TALENT makes Christmas fun in '61, OWLO8 ur onderful egacy Our golden year! What milestone now we pass! Considering the years that have gone by, Weetreasure each achievement. low or high, By every teacher and each separate class. Now we look backward, as into a glass, For shadows that show smiles-and some that cry, As wars and tragedies their courage tryg The mirror shows as fifty yearbooks pass. In proud salute we give all honors due To those who paved our way and say to you, We take the torch you held with trembling hand And hope we reach the summit that you planned. We love our past-but with the bard agree, In future years, 'the best is yet to be.' -Stella Mae Crain ANTICIPATION IS displayed as 1960 staff gets first glimpse of brain-child.
