The oppressed peoples of every downtrodden nation are waiting, hoping, praying, for the day when their fiendish masters will be forced to flee in fright, when the sound of marching liberators will fall upon their ears as a low roll of thunder, ominous in its portent to the aggressors, beautiful to the enslaved, the death knell to greed and tyranny, the voice of freedom resounding throughout the world! With liberation must come the proclamation of the Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms for every land. \u003cbr\u003eThe eight points of the charter cover paramount questions which may arise in re pairing the world after this terrible struggle is ended. It is this which must heal the raw wounds of war which have been inflicted on every nation of the world, whether or not they have taken active participation in the fight for right and justice. No country has remained absolutely unaffected and untouched by the war; all will have grievances and problems which must be solved quickly. \u003cbr\u003eThe light of democracy shines throughout the Atlantic Charter. For example, the peoples of each nation are to be the ones who shall decide what type of government shall rule after the war in their own particular country.\u003cbr\u003eThe Atlantic Charter sets forth our economic principles, too. The fullest collaboration between all nations in the economic field is desired. This will aid in securing for all improved labor standards, economic adjustment, and social security.\u003cbr\u003eThe statement that we wish no territorial addition whatsoever should go far in winning over the nations who are distrustful of America at the present time. \u003cbr\u003eAccess to the trade and raw materials of the world is guaranteed to all nations. In connection with this, freedom of the high seas is strongly advocated. \u003cbr\u003eThe eighth and last point states our belief that all nations must come to the abandonment of the use of force, or else peace can never be maintained. \u003cbr\u003eThe Four Freedoms form the foundation for the Atlantic Charter. Do we battle for the territory and possessions of others? Do we fight through greed and lust? Do we seek domination of the world? No, we fight that the world may be safe for all mankind; that each and all may live in an atmosphere of brotherly love, human kindness, and true equality.\u003cbr\u003eCan a man be really interested in world peace while his body is racked with pangs of starvation, while he cowers in some foul place, trembling in fright? Satisfy his hunger, banish his fears, give him the right to speak and to worship as he pleases. Without these inborn rights, our high hopes for world peace must surely fall, shattered into tiny bits by the cruelty of tyrants and the selfish thoughtlessness of the common man, who have never considered the plight of their fellows. \u003cbr\u003eTo the four corners of the earth, into every nation, every home, and every heart, must these freedoms and principles of the Atlantic Charter be carried. The path will be long, hard, and treacherous, but it must be traveled. We shall always be striving toward this goal, the essence of a perfect world peace. Then, and only then, will the peoples of the earth be in complete harmony with one another. \u003cbr\u003eWe, the youth of America, salute the Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms, and give our solemn pledge that, though the way be weary and the torch light dim, they shall be ordained throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003eDEDICATION \u003cbr\u003eTo the armed forces of the Allied Nations, who are fighting for the preservation of liberty, that the Four Freedoms may be carried to the uttermost parts of the earth, we dedicate the ARENA of 1945. \u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eBOOK I—Our School \u003cbr\u003eFreedom of Speech \u003cbr\u003eBOOK II—Classes\u003cbr\u003eFreedom of Worship \u003cbr\u003eBOOK III—Athletics \u003cbr\u003eFreedom from Fear \u003cbr\u003eBOOK IV—Activities \u003cbr\u003eFreedom from Want\u003cbr\u003eIN MEMORIAM \u003cbr\u003eThese are the graduates of Paris High School who have given their lives to insure the Four Freedoms: \u003cbr\u003eFloyd Wm.

It gives the students a chance to\u003cbr\u003epresent ideas which they believe would improve \u003cbr\u003eour school. Mr. Forster has gone more than \u003cbr\u003ehis half of the way in co-operating with the \u003cbr\u003estudents and in trying to meet their wishes. \u003cbr\u003eHis patience and understanding of young people has been greatly appreciated by the whole \u003cbr\u003estudent-body. \u003cbr\u003eARTHUR C.

In Miss Mary Ellen \u003cbr\u003eTweedy and Miss Margaret Sullivan are found two very \u003cbr\u003ereliable assistants. Mary Ellen is a favorite with the \u003cbr\u003estudents because of her youthful outlook on student \u003cbr\u003elife, and with the teachers because of her business-like \u003cbr\u003emanagement of the office. Miss Sullivan's calm efficiency is admired by all. \u003cbr\u003eIt is the duty of Mary Ellen to keep detailed records of all students during their high-school days, to \u003cbr\u003etype and mimeograph papers for teachers and to handle the principal's correspondence. Miss Sullivan takes\u003cbr\u003ecare of the records for the elementary schools. The secretaries are essential to the smooth functioning of the \u003cbr\u003eschool program. \u003cbr\u003eMARGARET SULLIVAN \u003cbr\u003eMARY ELLEN TWEEDY\u003cbr\u003eDEMOCRACY AT WORK \u003cbr\u003eSeptember of 1944 launched the third year of student government. The Student Council is under the direction of Mr. Forster, with Miss Hoas and Mr. Hoke served as faculty advisers. This group of students meets weekly to plan dances, scrap drives, and other activities. \u003cbr\u003eThe council is composed of twenty-five members, one from each of the homerooms. There are eight freshman, six sophomores, six junior, and five senior representatives. Mary Murphy, a senior, is an honorary member, since she was the representative at the Student Council Convention held in Chicago last year. The officers of the Student Council ore as follows: Frank Steidl, president: Bob Murphy, vice president; \u003cbr\u003eEXECUTIVE \u003cbr\u003eCOMMITTEE\u003cbr\u003eFIRST ROW: Frazier \u003cbr\u003eDickenson, Steidl, Eldredge, Campbell.

This group serves as a higher committee for the council. Membership is limited to three seniors, three juniors, and two each from the freshman and sophomore classes. Some of the duties of this group are  to elect suitable officers for the Student Council and to decide which problems are most urgent. \u003cbr\u003eThe Student Council has become a vital organization of the school. Representing the voice of the students, it helps promote cooperation between the faculty and student-body. It is an opportunity to practice democracy. \u003cbr\u003eENGLISH DEPARTMENT\u003cbr\u003eMaude E. Dorsett, A.B. \u003cbr\u003eGeorgana Green, Ph.B.\u003cbr\u003eRemember when English was all commas and question marks, Shakespeare and Milton? It's not that way now. These things still have their place, but if you stepped into an English classroom today, you would be apt to think it a class in speech or journalism, or perhaps drama, and maybe radio. \u003cbr\u003eFuture journalists get the chance to show originality and writing ability, and receive constructive criticism, not only in weekly themes, but even in personally written newspapers. They'll cover the world-shaking events of tomorrow with poise and practice. For the students interested in radio work, the clever skits and dramatizations, written and produced by themselves, in connection with the study of the drama, are particularly absorbing. Writing letters to servicemen of Paris High is a unique highlight in some classes. And don't think the boys aren't glad to get all the inside information on basketball, dances, and all the features in high school life! You're just as apt to find an English student reading the latest best seller for a current book review as reading an old biography or tale from long ago. Are you interested in writing poetry? Then step right in, for some classes write original ballads along with the study of their origin and construction. \u003cbr\u003eThe students owe this modern, balanced English program to several teachers: Miss Cross, Miss Dayton, Miss Dorsett, Miss Green, and Miss Hochstrasser. Their genuine, unflagging interest has given keener insight and higher ideals. Their aim has been to make English practicable and usable in everyday living. \u003cbr\u003eLaRue Dayton, A.B.\u003cbr\u003eAddie Hochstrasser, A.B., A.M. Sixteen\u003cbr\u003eSPEECH DEPARTMENT \u003cbr\u003eThe speech course with Miss Cross as instructor, is divided into two courses of study. In the first semester the students study parliamentary procedure, public speaking, and radio. While studying radio, the students make recordings of their voices. The second semester of work is devoted, in the main, to dramatics and debate. \u003cbr\u003eIn addition to directing the class plays Miss Cross also teaches two classes of freshman and one class of sophomore English. \u003cbr\u003eThe Speech Club is a great asset to the speech department because it gives many students interested in dramatics a chance to act upon the stage. The programs for the evening are usually plays, speeches, or pantomimes. When the program for the evening is over, constructive criticism is given by the students. This teaches the students to listen attentively so as to pick out the strong and weak points of the acting. The Speech Club is achieving its prime purpose, which is to instill self-confidence in the students. \u003cbr\u003eVirginia Cross, B.S.\u003cbr\u003eSPEECH CLUB\u003cbr\u003eFIRST ROW: Rosenberg, Foley, Murphy, Sprague, Reynolds, Miss Cross, Win ons, Van Zant, Bristow, Sunkel, Vaughn, Hart. \u003cbr\u003eSECOND ROW: Shoaff, Kienast, Frazier, Tait, Oetzel, Zieren, Pearman, Sprouls, McKinzie, Whitton.

Ferrel, Forster, Elam,' Askin, Wadsworth, Krumpeck.\u003cbr\u003eSOCIAL STUDIES\u003cbr\u003eWhen a student reaches his sophomore year, he must choose either a one-year or two-year course of history. Miss Green and Miss Lindsey teach world history, the one-year course. This is a general course of the history of mankind up to modern times. \u003cbr\u003eMiss Lindsey is the instructor for both ancient and modern history, the two-year college preparatory course. This is a much more detailed study of world history. \u003cbr\u003eStudents of both courses are required to take American history, taught by Mr. Johnson the senior year. This deals with the development of the United States as we know it. \u003cbr\u003eAlso connected with history is civics, taught by Miss Wilson. Civics is a detailed study of Congress, the officials, and the duties of the various departments of our government. Each student is required to take civics. Miss Wilson also teaches sociology, a course in social problems. \u003cbr\u003eJane Wilson, B.Ed. \u003cbr\u003eRuth Lindsey, B.S., M.S. \u003cbr\u003eGeorgana Green, Ph.B. \u003cbr\u003eCharles Johnson, B.Ed.\u003cbr\u003eLANGUAGE \u003cbr\u003eIn these days of international interest, the study of foreign languages is a timely thing. Spanish. French, and Latin are offered. \u003cbr\u003eMiss Farrell is the capable professor of Spanish. In addition to learning construction and vocabulary, the student learns something of the history, customs, and civilization of each South American country. Miss Farrell also teaches French and economics. \u003cbr\u003eMiss Tate, Latin magistra, emphasizes geography, history, and rhetoric. Stories show Roman customs and mythology. Latin games and quizzes are used to stimulate interest. Second-year students study Caesar, and the third-year pupils, Cicero. \u003cbr\u003eElsia Tate, A.B. \u003cbr\u003eCatherine Farrell, A.B., M.A.\u003cbr\u003eLIBRARY \u003cbr\u003eThe library is well stocked with reference books on every subject. Current magazines and newspapers are available. Mrs. Mary Dole Bryan is the capable director. The library functions for one purpose—to further as efficiently as possible the school program of every individual in the building. \u003cbr\u003eMary Dole Bryan, B.A.\u003cbr\u003eINDUSTRIAL ARTS \u003cbr\u003eIndustrial Arts is one of the most popular courses in the entire curriculum of the school. It is here that students find enjoyment in working with their hands. \u003cbr\u003eThe boys are much interested in shop work, but mechanical architecture and drawing occupy a good deal of their time, too. The equipment in the workshop is modern, safe, and convenient. One of the major projects during the year is the refinishing of old furniture brought from home. Sanded, planed, and polished to perfection, the articles can then be lacquered, stained, varnished, painted, or whatever the boy wants.\u003cbr\u003eOpportunity to work with entirely new materials is also given. Usually the boys choose to make practical articles which they can take home and proudly present to the family. In the shop, one might find tables, cabinets, and book-ends; some more in the first stages of creation. Others are beautifully sanded and ready to be put together; a few are already completed, standing in shining symmetry, and are examples of the best a boy  can do when given a chance. \u003cbr\u003eTo some, mechanical architecture is the essence of perfect form. The famous architect often has high school drawing to thank for his start. Although probably only a few of the boys will even continue with this type of work, it gives them insight into the value of hard work, teaches concentration and attention to detail, and sets their feet on that road which is always striving toward perfection. \u003cbr\u003eThe course has two main objectives: to teach some thing which can be used after getting out of school, and to find something the students like to do. Judging from the number enrolled, it is quite successful. \u003cbr\u003eIndustrial Arts is real trade work. Many a boy will be better able to fill a carpentry job and be fitted to repair household articles by having taken this course. The world needs men who can work with their hands.\u003cbr\u003eThe boys get down io business on \u003cbr\u003eHerman Spencer, B.S., M.S. \u003cbr\u003esome shop work Cuis, doesn’t it?

Mathematics is divided into two different courses: one for those students who are taking a pre-college \u003cbr\u003ecourse, and one for those who are planning a commercial \u003cbr\u003ecareer. This first group includes: elementary algebra \u003cbr\u003etaught by Mr. Ariens; plane geometry taught by Mr. \u003cbr\u003eHoke; advanced algebra and solid geometry, alternated \u003cbr\u003eevery other year with trigonometry, taught by Mr. \u003cbr\u003eForster. \u003cbr\u003eThe second group for commercial students is planned\u003cbr\u003eto give them an ample knowledge of business arithmetic. \u003cbr\u003eThis course, with Mrs. Riedell as the instructor, stresses \u003cbr\u003ea general review of mathematical principles, bank forms, \u003cbr\u003epublic utilities, transportation, stocks, bonds, taxes, insurance, and installment buying. \u003cbr\u003eBoth of the courses in mathematics are important \u003cbr\u003eto the professions connected with them. Higher mathematics is useful in engineering, architecture, and air \u003cbr\u003eplane designing. The business training is also very helpful to those people who ore thinking of making a career \u003cbr\u003eas secretaries, office clerks, or accountants. \u003cbr\u003eSolid Geometry students strain their brain cells on a quiz.\u003cbr\u003eSCIENCE \u003cbr\u003eFive science courses are offered. The faculty includes: Miss Church, general science: Miss Luckhaupt, \u003cbr\u003ebiology; Mr. Little, chemistry and senior science; and \u003cbr\u003eMr. Ariens, physics.\u003cbr\u003eAll students take general science- the freshman year. \u003cbr\u003eElectricity, engines, machines, and weather are studied. \u003cbr\u003eField trips to the telephone office, water plant, and sew \u003cbr\u003eAge disposal plants are taken. \u003cbr\u003eA student interested in the study of plants and animals may continue by taking biology. This covers the \u003cbr\u003erelation of plants and animals to each other, source of \u003cbr\u003efood manufacturing by plants, and harmful and helful animals. \u003cbr\u003eIn the junior year a course in basic chemistry is offered. Soap making, coal, tar, petroleum, and alcohol \u003cbr\u003eare studied. Mr. Little teaches the senior science classes \u003cbr\u003ealso. \u003cbr\u003eIn the final year, Mr. Ariens instructs the students \u003cbr\u003ein the study of the physical side of science. Supplementing the study of electricity, light, machines, and\u003cbr\u003ethe mechanics of heat and sound, are laboratory experiments. \u003cbr\u003eOtto Ariens, A.B., M.S. \u003cbr\u003eC. J.

Miss Perisho teaches the first and second year home living classes; Miss Hendricks, the first and third. They are also the instructors for the Red Cross Home Nursing Course conducted each year, which is open to any girl in Paris High School.\u003cbr\u003eAt the beginning of the course students learn to help with family meals. Later, the girls are trusted to prepare breakfasts and lunches alone. The problems of rationing and the point system are thoroughly explored. The components of a balanced meal and foods necessary to our health are studied. Every meal must be both appetizing and nutritious. Equipment in the model kitchens is the best. \u003cbr\u003eOn some days half of the class prepares a meal, and the others are the guests. This brings in serving etiquette, and other social deportment. The home economics girls prepared and served a G.A.A. dinner and a tea this year. \u003cbr\u003eIn the clothing classes, clothes appropriate for certain occasions and how to wear them are discussed as the actual production of garments progresses. Patterns, styles, and materials are popular topics, too. Posture is continually stressed, and experimentation in make-up and hair styling are introduced during the year. \u003cbr\u003eIn the advanced third year class, nutrition, interior decorating, home nursing and home management are taken up. Nutrition requires a good deal of intensive concentration, but the girls really know their proteins, \u003cbr\u003eHOME EC CLUB\u003cbr\u003eFIRST ROW': Sexton, Alexander, Wass, L» Gibson, M.

The girls who receive training in this will know how to efficiently manage their homes and care for the minor ailments. \u003cbr\u003eThis domestic science department offers great opportunities to those who intend to become dieticians, nurses, or good American housewives. With a receptive mind, a girl can learn and experiment unlimitedly under expert supervision.

Agriculture I is the study of the soil and the\u003cbr\u003eproduction of the various crops with the best possible \u003cbr\u003eresults. Agriculture II has to do with balancing of rations for live-stock and the feeding requirements for the \u003cbr\u003edifferent types of animals. In agriculture III Mr. Hamilton instructs the boys in the repairs of implements and \u003cbr\u003eharness and in form management. Agriculture IV is a \u003cbr\u003especial course which is a summary of materials, crops, \u003cbr\u003eand animals in which the individual has special interest. \u003cbr\u003eMr. Hamilton is also the adviser for the chapter of \u003cbr\u003ethe Future Formers of America. The Paris chapter is \u003cbr\u003emade up of thirty-eight boys, and the F.F.A., as a whole, \u003cbr\u003eis the second largest boy organization in the world. \u003cbr\u003eIn the F.F.A. each boy is required to give a talk on \u003cbr\u003esome phase of farm work, at least once a year. This \u003cbr\u003eadditional club work has proved very beneficial not only \u003cbr\u003ein stimulated interests in agriculture, but in becoming \u003cbr\u003ebetter acquainted with students of similar interests. \u003cbr\u003eF.

The first section consists of running a sizable distance every day to build up wind and endurance. The second is calisthenics for exercising the muscles. After the holiday season, the boys played basketball until after the state  tourney. Then, the calisthenics were reviewed for a spring exhibition of mass drills and tumbling. In the final section of the school year the boys again hove outdoor exercises and running. \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-eight \u003cbr\u003eGIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION \u003cbr\u003e\"Attention\"!

Miss Hamilton, alert to the cry for physical fitness and military training, stresses body-building exercises and military drill in addition to the ever-popular team sports of basket ball, volley boll, and deck tennis. Folk and social dancing are enjoyed by the girls, too. Skill tests are given in connection with the sports, and this year, the girls tried their strength on the dynamometer. \u003cbr\u003eTeamwork and sportsmanship are two of the prime results of our excellent gym instruction.\u003cbr\u003eE.

The band has now reached full instrumentation and is made  up of fifty-two members. The band is very popular with the townspeople because it plays at the basketball games, football games, for many public programs, and summer concerts. \u003cbr\u003eLast year there was no band contest because of the transportation situation, but Paris did enter several soloists at the district meet at Charleston. In these contests Paris won eleven firsts, five seconds, and three thirds. This is a record which has never been equaled by  any B class bond in the entire district.

The students show \u003cbr\u003etheir versatility by also playing in the band. The orchestra, as well as band, is directed by Mr. Louis Waterloo. The band and the orchestra owe much of their success to him. His  strict discipline often frightens the beginners, especially when he booms \"Cut the coopering.\" Although stern at times, his unfailing patience, hard work, and sincerity produce many winning musicians and endear him to his students. \u003cbr\u003eFIRST ROW: Jones, Moore, Downing, Cromer, Major, Bolton.

Miss Nelson is the capable director of not only the Girls' Glee Club, but also the Mixed Chorus and Girls' Chorus. Every one of these groups gave a fine account of itself at last May's Spring Concert and this season's Christmas Vespers. Both these presentations were well attended by an enthusiastic audience. \u003cbr\u003eIt takes hours of tedious work to be able to put on polished concerts. What about the daily labor expended by those singers in the music room? \u003cbr\u003eVocalizing is an important link in the chain of practice that produces a fine, well-balanced group of choristers. Miss Nelson places great emphasis on correct breathing and tone placement. \"Use your diaphragms! Get that tone out of your throat and put it up here!\" Taking a deep breath, the sopranos hit that \"B flat\" that's been tantalizing them for weeks! \u003cbr\u003eSight-reading is an art all too often overlooked but not so here. \"I don't care if you sing them wrong, but sing!\" Often the music \u003cbr\u003eEllen Nelson, A.B. \u003cbr\u003eMIXED CHORUS\u003cbr\u003eFIRST ROW: Edwards, G.

Vocal breathing exercises, tips for the recital and contest stage, and lessons in poise are among the things emphasized. Each student is required to practice daily, and to meet with her ac companist weekly. The soloists presented a recital among themselves in February, at which they judged each other as if participating in a regular contest. \u003cbr\u003eThe Girls’ Sextette and the Mixed Ensemble represent the best of the groups.

These were given on the basis of a point system worked out by a special student committee. Points were awarded on the principle that the longer one has served, the more valuable his voice.

We presented two successful plays that year, with the help of the sophomores, The Auction and The Early Worm. Seventeen freshmen made the honor roll in the first quarter. \u003cbr\u003eWe shall never forget the pep meeting, snake dance, and victory dance which we had our sophomore year after winning the State Basketball Championship in 1943. Many of us joined the journalism club. We sponsored several all-school dances. One of the domestic science girls won state honors in the D.A.R. contest for dressmaking. \u003cbr\u003eDuring the junior year the class rings were ordered. Our class ploy, Larry, was very successful. We sponsored several dances to raise money for the reception and prom. We began raising money for the Arena by selling magazine subscriptions. \u003cbr\u003eOur senior year was the1 busiest year of all. We had to work hard to raise enough money for the Arena.

He played an especially good game at Newton. \u003cbr\u003eCapt. Jack Kennedy—Senior End Jack's blocking, tackling, and dependable leadership really made him valuable. At school he's in a rut. On the field he's in the groove. \u003cbr\u003eLawrence Curl—Senior End\u003cbr\u003eLarry was good at stopping end runs. The coach substituted him often and Larry held down the job. \u003cbr\u003eJames Reynolds—Junior Back \u003cbr\u003eBesides helping with his long gain runs, accurate passes, and earth jarring tackles, Jim sacrificed two front teeth for Paris. \u003cbr\u003eLouis Carli—Senior Back\u003cbr\u003e\"Lion\" came out late and if he had had more time would have made the first string. He made a good captain for the second team. \u003cbr\u003eWalter Steidl—Sophomore Back. Walt is the brains of the outfit.

He'll be back next year to try again. \u003cbr\u003eAlbert Gleason—Sophomore Tackle Albert has endurance and works with the team. With o little more experience and development he should help make a tough line next year. \u003cbr\u003eGeorge Perry—Junior Tackle \u003cbr\u003ePerry played pretty good ball for his first year, and should help make a strong line next year. \u003cbr\u003eJames Brewster—Junior Back \u003cbr\u003e\"Luiack\" really ran wild on that Newton field.
