Memories of reign of King Arthur brought back other memories-those of past PHS J unior-Senior Proms. The tradition of a Junior Reception honoring Seniors was be- gun in 1913 when Colonel James M. Caviness was president of Junior Class. It was held in PHS reception rooms. After 1916 fire destroyed much of Paris, Seniors held reception at Armstrong home on Church Street. A three-piece orchestra rfurnished music for dancing on wide, waxed porches. Sophomore Servers first appeared in 1917 when four girls dressed in ruffled organdy poured punch at the Asa Burrough home on Graham Street. Students moved into present building in time to hold 1918 reception in basement gym, decking it with crepe paper and potted ferns. For some years after this, it was held in private homes and Gordon Country and Paris Golf Clubs. Since com- . m pletion of gym in 1939, proms have been held there.
