I’liu.MI'S I KOM A Nf.w Angi.e Wc wonder if the little class of iix which graduated from the Birmingham High School on the second floor of the Wright Building in 1885 had any idea that in thirty-nine years from that memorable night a class of three hundred and eleven graduates would receive their diplomas on the stage of John Herbert Phillips High School. Wc wonder if they dreamed that in place of the few rooms where they recited their Rnglisb, Latin. Mathematics. l’hsysiology and History, the next generation would enjoy this great building with forty-three class rooms in which to pursue scores of studies, a spacious auditorium for its assemblies, and a beautifully furnished and well equipped library all its own. And did they dream that the motto they chose for their class, Per Aspera ail Astra,” would he carved above the fire-place of this library—the motto of a school of nearly three thousand students? Through all these great changes there remain—and will remain, we hope—those same high ideals and standards, that same spirit, which they had. and which wc cherish today as the most precious and vital possession of Phillips High School.
