Who, leaving us, have given for our need A heritage of love, and faith, and hope serene. To comfort and sustain our pilgrimage.

Elizabeth A Heritage and A Responsibility Classmates: We have come today to the end of four years of happy association. Those of ns who find it hard to realize that this is our last class meeting, know that it is still more difficult to put into words what our feelings are on this occasion.âto express the many thoughts and the host of happy memories that occur to us. Many of us have been fellow-workers since the remote period of our kindergarten days: we have struggled together through fractions and spelling and geography and all the other difficulties of grammar school days; now. our high school days are over. Four years in which we have conflicted unceasingly with Latin and Trigonometry and English,âfour years in which we have gone with slow, reluctant feet to science tests and suffered the pangs of Math, matinees.âfour years of work and play.nndnow we find ourselves facing the completion of our courseâCommencement. It has been a splendid experience,âto share the same joys and sorrows, and to strive for so long together to reach the same goal. And yet, we see today when so little time remains in which we may call ourselves fellow-students of the Phillips High School, that the future looms very differently, that the world which stretches out tafore us is not as wc visualized it in our grammar school days. Then, we thought of Commencement as a release from work: now. we see it as an open door into our larger opportunities, the means by which we are to enter U| on service in a broader and richer sense.- the work of the world. Truly, we who leave high school in this year of 1927. have fallen heir to the greatest inheritance of all times. In the last century, Tennyson wrote that his contemporaries were the âHeirs of the Ages, in the foremost files of time. The generation of men which followed Tennyson saw the world torn by war. its civilization attacked, its very foundations threatened, but we come into our inheritance when the world is at peace, when all the work of mankind is devoted not to destroying but to building, when every occasion offers a new and amazing opportunity. We are not among the jiessimists who look back upon other golden ages and sigh for the atmosphere of former times. We believe, truly and sincerely, that never has there been a time so fraught with every conceivable opportunity as that in which we now live, and that there has never been a country which offered more possibilities for real achievement than our own I'nited States. We arc in the front rank of civilization. Not in business alone, as our enemies once charged, but in art. in science, in commerce, we have advanced to a point where we may safely challenge all the nations of the earth. Supj ose, for a minute, wc grant ourselves the faculties of Janus, and look backward at the events of the past while wc gaze Indore us at the marvelous events of the present. Wc see âman, the marvelous thing, that in the dark, Works with his little strength to make a light, His wit that strikes, his hope that tends, a spark. His sorrow of soul in toil that brings delight; see him emerging slowly through the barbarity of ancient times, sec him in the thousands of wars that held him in their grasp throughout the middle ages. We see him beset by ignorance in the darkness that preceded the Renaissance; we see him, enslaved by tyranny and oppression for hundreds of wretched years, but finally, triumphant over all the forces that have bound and confined him, no longer a slave to tyrants, his mind, as well as his physical self, released from bondage, we now behold him a valiant man. the heir of the millions of men who have made history. From his ancestors who fought in caves with clubs, he has gained physical strength; from the warriors who repulsed the barbarian hordes, he has derived military prowess and the ability to endure; from the knights who fared forth on hard and bitter crusades,âthe cavaliers who feared not to âlive pure, speak truth, right wrong, and follow Christ the King, âhe has inherited the will to dare, the faith to die: from the learned men w ho kept the torch of learning burning through the chaos of the dark ages, he has come into possession of that zest for wisdom which enables him to follow knowledge like a sinking star. And we who live in America have a peculiarly fortunate heritage. The heroism of our forefathers is an old. old story: it has been told and re-told, but age cannot wither it, for it has gatl ered radiance with the passing years. We, who live in Alabama, have an inheritance that has accumulated through a hundred years of glorious history.âa legacy which must not be allowed to rest in passive inactivity. We can add to it only by approaching our duties with an enthusiasm as high as that which has marked the attitude of our country and our state: such a legacy we can hand down to successive generations if we are as tireless as were our forefathers in the will to achieve. Our heritage therefore becomes our responsibility. Mow wc shall make it richer, nobler,âonly you can answer. Wil I you consider it a millstone to hinder and retard, or will you gladly bear the weight of responsibility that shall strcngtltn you end your generation? Classmates. I have faith to believe you will receive aright your heritage and discharge aright your responsibility. Jambs Aldus Simpson, Class President Capabilities Calculated By Inverse Ratio Hard work, honesty, good judgment, initiative an I other magnanimous qualities are very essential in compiling the statistics of the graduating class of 1927. Cne must have wit neither too dry to parch the seventy-eight lips of the allegedly weaker sex. nor too ready to startle the fifty eight fickle pensioners of the train: one must have humor, broad enough to invite nods and becks an I wreathed smiles: quips and cranks and wanton wiles- ' one must Ik keen enough to calculate capabilities by inverse ratio and have brilliance enough to understand the exegesis of ratio. Ratio is the relation of one quantity to anotherâor the relation of a teacherâs estimate to a pupilâs camouflage. Furthermore, inverse ratio is the opposite direction or tendencyâaddition is an inverse operation to subtraction. Now. we, the distinguished class of 1927 calculate our capabilities by addition: our teachers calculate them by subtraction. The results, of course, are topsy-turvy-inverted; distressing, upsetting. When, taking a test, we have written pages an I pages of what we thought precious knowledge, our longed for reward is only the teacher's comment; infinite deal of nothing âits length gains us nothing; the teacher says: the length is in inverse proportion to the depth. All of which gives us the determination of amalgamating ourselves into an anti-exxnJnation union which will call a strike. Teachers talk of amalgamation of nations; the union of peoples-when our French, Spanish. Latin. English, History are combined or when two opposing t eorieseffe t a reconciliation, the teacl ers do not praise the alliance; but. say: mixed, confused, a judgment not only inverse but perverse . This is what makes it hard for me to collect data. My statistics have had interference or shall I call it static? But still I'm the gink upon whom the unspeakable task of compiling statistics has been placed; I speak these words with a tongue 1-5 tripping and 4-5 hesitating in the contemplation of my many requirements and duties. For we know in part and we prophesy in part: therefore. I shall treat my statistics in partâproportioned to the 136 personages of the class of 1927. Were I to calculate your abilities by direct ratio the tale would be too directly toldâyour ability to flunk would be boldly obvious, your ability to chew gum woul I s low; vivi lly on the s reen the raj id succession of yawning orifice and the Compressed jaw. Were I to estimate in plain figures the rapid clearance of tlie hall by our senior girl marshals figures might make them centers of aggregation, rather than dispersion. But, by inverse ami jjerverse tabulations, the obverse an I the diverse may be shown and we may rate our senior hall marshals as putting loafers to flight to the auctioneerâs timeofgoing, going, gone. Since the sum of all the jiarts makes a whole, we deem it advisable to make a studv of our class and their parts. If I were executioner instead of statistician like Sir Roger de ( overly, I'd hang only the men of fine parts. Subject to such cruelty would Ik those who have facilityâ for instance. Helen Johnston, who has such originality in selling that she can depart from the orthodox and spell even one word in two different ways. SOME have facility in asking the English teachers to explain whole acts and scenes in Hamlet, or such: To this category belong Charles Sullivan and I ranz Jol nsen. Some have inability to overcome inertia of rest and motion: in rest, they arc persistent in their negations; in motion, they are in a | erpetual swing in the halls and on the stairs. Among those so distinguished are Wolford Dorfman, Neville McKenzie, Marion Horton an I Margaret Simpson. Disability is brought about by too much Ih |k in oneâs system. Those suffering from this are, Howard Cranford, Oza Colson and Lee Hagy. We might call them optimists, who through the long term have hoped to Ik promoted. Others have a peculiar agility to forget more than they know. Gertrude Moore, Francis Mont- f[Ornery and Marion Gewin had the agility to so answer a question as to get 100% without any know-«lgc. except legal knowledge. The question was: What do you know of Sanguebar; answered: Vc know nothing. Did they not deserve perfect because they stayed leaglly within their own rights.' All these parts of a great whole constitute the capabilities of our august senior class. Having been given unusual honor, humbly I admit I am gifted in the science of collecting and classifying statistical facts and that I understandâ the How and Why of all things past, present and forever more. As for Howâ limp does nature keep a balanced population? By wars in Europe and by automobiles in America. limp is poor enunciation economical? Why, the pupils in our class who never could l c understood in school can sing in Grand Opera. Ilmv does a studentâs mind function? In complexes before examsâreflexes after exams and annexes, for the next semester, two extra topics of six majors. As for the Who!, upon asking Annie Lou Fletcher the question:â What makes a flapper forlorn? Annie Lou replied: Why. she is artistic, sheâs forlorn for the sake of alliteration. After reading the story A Man Without a Country, lone Smith asked: What could l o more sad than a man without a country? Margaret Cooper answered: A country without a man. Miss Chambliss asked: What is skill?â Said John Cobbs. Looking for a job and never finding one. This set me to musing: What reason shall lx given for the heavy classic names of our class, such as Lmiriston Augustus Wingo, Arthur Montgomery Dowsing. Pauline Louise McHutchison, Providence Fli abcth Madoniaâit was their parents' endowment prophetic of future achievement. Pardon me. classmates, if I seem to digress somewhat from my subject, but, when one sits down to write statistics, one's mind is inclined to be a blank, prompted to deeds that are dark and rank. )r in the plain language of simple prose which everyone feels that everyone knows, would resort to the gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair. In this state 1 have torn my hair with all the mad rage of a true Phillipian hurling phillipics. I have walked the hall more agitatedly than Charles Sullivan. 1 have resorted to stratagem more diabolic than Alex Davies in hounding the innocent offenders of peaceâ but, the loss of my hair which has availed me nothing, results in inverse projxjrtion to my violent exercise. If all the hair despairingly torn from my head and the heads of my noble predecessors could lx constructively utilized, there would be enough hirsute filament, tenuous, golden and black, to make braids and transformations for the 78 boblxxl headed has-beens of this class. But, now my oat proceeds. I would like to note and denote not only our multifarious bodies but the various selves of each of us. There is the sub-conscious self, that forgets hard studies and lessonsâthe primitive self usually found loitering in the lunch room, the cosmic self congregating in the halls and the sublimal selfâthe ideal self in grad hooks which has stored up for me a most valuable source of information as to the capabilities of our class. If all the glittering data written in these books were true, we would have scholars in this graduating class capable of raising roofs, moving mountains and in the language of a technical business expert, affection and regard enough for tying contracts, force enough for holding companies of diverse personalities and cleverness enough for interlocking the directorates of teachers and pupils. But. list many discoveries, new and startling were given to the world in our late intelligence testânever before has there been any record of such new scientific data as our class contributed, generously will I give you the thrilling !x?nefitâ Sponges are found to come from petroleum: emeralds are a vivid blue: horses do not necessarily have tails; a mimeograph is g xxl for the digestion. I Ix-g of you, fellow-students, no matter how ravenously hungry you are. do not resort to eating mimeographs. We know chewing precedes digestion and our gnashingofteeth over exams has disqualified us for chewingâespecially mimeographs. Takcmy adviceâstick to your gum. Another interesting fact attested was that the things that cause the most suffering are diseases, injuries and algebra. Note the climactic order. Since all truth is related, there follows the startling admonitionâââIt is very necessary to make hay while the sun shines for you can't see to do it at night. But, those who don't make use of light will have air. We all know that the success of the radio depends upon its wave lengths and the elimination of its static. What a coincidence. How like the feminine portion of our class, of whom 08% firmly Inrliove that their success depends upon certain wave lengths and the ability to eliminate or supply static when and where needed. Short wave lengths on the radio might give you Chicago: while snort wave lengths on one of our fair seniors might give a pain in the heart or even sometimes a black eye. And while we have in mind the unruly waves of the weaker sex. let us not forget the pains which wc have endured in contemplating the smooth sleekness of the hair of our brothers an I friends. For those who have suffered the slings and arrows of permanent wavesâhow maddeningâhow unbearableâto gaze upon our august president and note the precision of his smoothly parted locks. But have not the permanent waves been of general interest to the nation? Even today the question is asked: âHas prohibition come to stayâ?â Answer: Permanent wave of the nation. Cr. âWill the woman movement endure? Answer: Permanent wave of the nation. Besides this mournful lament, after making inquiries. I have found that the increasing deafness of many members of our class is caused by loud socks and screaming ties. The boys of our class have been so influenced by the Imagists in tone and color that they have l eon prompted to follow them both in thought and flashes of apparel. But to bring these elongated statistics to an abrupt close is to practice inverse ratio. So, now a long farewellâfarewell to the noise in the halls which have resounded for four long years to the stentorian tones of Will Miller and the mighty voice of Jerome Harrellâfarewell to these broad passageways which will in the future be ns silent as the class room in which the stentorian tones of Will and Jerome fell to faint whisperingsâa noticeable contrast to their clamor in the open. Farewell to the teachers who bear our love in inverse proportion to the grades they have given us. In going away wc will remember that every proverb we learned is only a half truth; we will not extol the early bird for catching the worm; we will remember that the worm was punished for early rising. I earnestly adjure you most dignified members of this class, never to quote: I would rather l c right than president âfor youâwill be neither. To make one proverb true, my parting admonition is âkeep the little path. there you will find oneâ Diametrically opposed to all inverse proj ortion. Fraternally ours, Martha Fears. '27. The Lane To Loveliness He loves the lane to loveliness, That beckoned through his tears; He loves the way it climbs the lulls, The way it skirts the years. There are the stars to make him glad, The flash of flying wings. The truth all-luminous he finds Within the heart of things. Me loves the light that haunts the hills. The light that lurks in rain; For lie lielievesâbeyond the clouds. There will lie sun again. He knows the quiet peace that comes From out the dying day, The hope that hides within the heart. To smooth its scars away. Oh, I would follow where he leads, And live along the lane. And pitch my tent beneath the stars. And drink the sparkling rain. Catherine Lewis Harwell. Class Pod, 'll. The Press Association The Phillips High School Press Association was organized several years ago with a two-fold pur-post',âfirst, to create further interest in the work of the various school publications, and second, to offer reward of some kind to those students who were in greatest pan responsible for the publicationsâ success. Phillips has been very ambitious,âjournalistically,âthis year. We brought forth, in the summer, after long lal or in the springtime, a Handbook, the first of its kind in our history. In the fall, several ambitious and enthusiastic journalists, under the guidance of several members of the faculty, resolved to make the weekly newspaper, which has long been a cherished fancy, a reality, and to this end. went diligently to work the week ! oforc school Opened, made assignments, wrote copy, and were finally able, on the first Friday of school, on the same day which marked the announcement of the Newspaper Ixiard. to place in the hands of the students the first edition of a weekly newspaper. There have been several weeks when fate and the printer and examinations and holidays made publication of the pafjcr out of the questionâbut these have l een few. and on the whole, it can be said that the weekly has succeeded in Iwing a weekly. No one who is on the outside can jjossiblyhaveany re mote Conception of what goes on behind the scenes seven periods a day in the Mirror office. From Monday, when the assignments for the follow ing week are made, until Friday, when material is due in the hands of the editors, the staff is in a state of indescribable confusion anif agitation. On the following Monday, some of the trusted mcm!)ors of the staff must journey to the office of the printer with material; on Tuesday, tin- same or several other members must journey again to the printer to read what is known as galley proof. On Wednesday, a third expedition is made so that page proof can be read. And thus it goes. The life of a journalist is truly hard. And then there is the Annualâah. the Annual. Those who put their time and ideas and heart's blood into the Annual for 1 « 27. know truly that there may be greater undertakings, that there may be ventures which require more time and energy and patience than the publication of a year-book, but if there are such, we hope that we will have no immediate contact with them. The Annual went to press on March 15, and the Annual Hoard, on the same day,âwe were aliout to say went to a sanitarium for the rest cure, but that would l c a slight exaggeration and exaggerations are not permitted in such a write-up as this. But there is no one connected with thestaff who was called into service the week-end before March 15, to whom a sanitarium would not have set-mod like a glimjise into Paradise. For all these things the Press Association stands. Its members are chosen by the Mirror sponsors,âanti arc selected on the basis of service. How trulyâor how well,âthey serve, can never be estimated. There arc things that defy measurement,âand of such is the work of the members of the Press Association. The graduating Seniors who have been elected to the Press Association for 1927 arc as follows: Marion Cewin Clara Pritchett Rogers George McCracken William Hamilton I eo Siegel Hakkie Wood Robert Clingman I.f.e Kelsey Porter I ewis Wyndham Southgate James Pkrmutt Mary Haralson Cus Wingo Pint RouâRobert Clingman William Hamilton.

Our experience with student government ha« ceased to be an experiment, but lias become firmly established an a rock-bottom foundation.

Inaugurating the new system, the Yancey chose oratory a its subject and ret to work studying the history, former groat oration and everything connected with the subject. which gave variety to the programs. By this intensive study, the ancey hopes to live up to its name a not only the oldest but the best club in Phillips and to help Phillips live up to  t« name a the greatest school 0f oratory among the secondary schools of the whole country.

The cast consisted entirely of hoys.- -a radical departure from all established precedent. Vet, strange to say. the purely masculine cast proved an overwhelming success, and great credit is due the author of the play, Adele Fort, for her skillful handling of so startling a situation. I- The curtain rose on a room in a hoys' dormitory, an altogether attractive setting and one that proved very popular with the audience. The storv of the play dealt with the sacrifice of Bob Barton, played by Ross Smith, a Senior, who hearing of his fatherâs financial difficulties, gave up his dream of a Kuroj)can tour and went home to put his shoulder to the wheel and find a way out for the family. Although we shed a few bitter tears at the thought that Boh was not to see the Tower of l.cn don. or stroll dow n Pfcadilly with the Prince of Wales or gaze upward at the l ower of Pisa, we somehow-felt that he had chosen the right path, at this particular crossroad, and incidentally, had given us a very nice lesson in sportsmanship to offer food for thought all during Thanksgiving and for many (lays after. The comic relief of the ploy was introduced by the frolicsome Sonhomores, who enjoyed themselves a great deal at the expense of an unfortunate Freshman. Danny, played by Frank Butler. The officers of the Dramatic Club who sponsored this program and have guided the destiny of the club for two semesters, arc as follows. FALL TERM SI RINC. TI. RM Ross Smith ..............

The Honor Society, while not .in active organization itself, renders a service to Philliiui by offering an incentive to the mcml-er of the student body to give totheir other activities that extra bitofeffort and enthu«nsm which a student must Kive in order to l e selected for membership. Membership 1 limited, including fifteen per cent of the graduating class, ten t cr cent of the seventh semester student , and five | er cent of the sixth semester ns a maximum. The members are selected from a consideration of their scholarship, leadership, sendee and clwructer. Charters are granted by the National Society and great care is used in selecting the schools which are to have chapters, so that the granting of a chapter to Phillips is as much of an honor for the school as is the granting of membership in the society to the member . Auditorium Programs In its growth since the days of the old medical college, Phillips has not developed in certain branches alone but has made great strides forward in every phase of school activities. In proportion to this growth, the value of our auditorium periods has increased, becoming so representative of our school that an outline of the programs of these | eriods could well be considered a school diary. Not only has their range of subject matter extended until they include every branch of a liberal education, but they have been planned and executed by the students through various clubs and committees. Several most unusual ones have been presented by the Athletic Committee, more than once the auditorium has resounded with loud applause in response to inspiring tales of captains, coaches and officers of Phillips A. A., and more than once has it resounded with lusty cheers in response to certain young men who can leap yards into the air, and yet contain breath enough to yell, themselves. I'pon one memorable occasion Alabama's All-American Wu Winslett in an extremely calm mannerâwe expected to see him plunge through our steel curtain-addressed the student body and presented sweaters to our letter men. The Dramatic Club also has played no small part in these programs. ( n October 29th, a ( harming play, 1776-1926â was presented in a most captivating manner by Kebie Perry and Marie Clenn. At other times serial pupils of the expression classes have taken parts on programs which familiarize us with the beauty of literatureâ-not only of the past but of today and not only English j oets, Kipling and Tennyson, but the American | oetsâPoe, Millay, Tcasdale. November eleventh and twenty-fifth rolled around ere long and with them came Armistice Day accompanied by a half holiday and the orations of four young gentlemen, and Thanseivingâaccompanied by a day and a half holiday and Crossroads written by one of our ownâAncle Fort -end convincingly acted by Ross Smith, John Casey, William Yancey, Stewart Mcacham, Lee Kelsey, William Hamilton, Max Lancaster, Jesse Ycatcs, Edward Johnston, Frank Butler, Louis Lipsitz, Joe Vaughn and Dudley Yebdickc. Nor was the Dramatic Department satisfied with such a success, but produced a grand climax, the Boy's Inter-club Oratoricalâfirst place in which was won by Ross Smith, second place by Max Lancaster and Club honors by the Hilliard, nobly represented by William Hamilton and Joe Whitson. Rallying several times to support the statement that Phillips is a community in itself, the General Organization prepared several programs during Education Week, the National program was kept in view and Monday observed as patriotism and constitution day. Wednesday as community day, ; nd on Friday under the supervision of the Scholarship Committee, the program was presented on scholarship. Four times this year the j eriod became nothing less than political meetings. Cn Friday, October the eighth candidates for office in the General Organization for the Fall term were presented to the student body and Friday, October fifteenth, those elected, Harry Moffett, Fred Sington and Margaret Simpson were installed. Committees were introduced and each of these officers made short talks to the student body. Cn Wednesday, February tenth, candidates for office for the Spring term were presented and our new executives, Stewart Mcacham, Mary Phillips Wool vert on and Frances Ferrell were intrusted the following week with the reins of office and cabinet members with their committees were announced and introduced. Cn October 12 and 14. wc joined with the City of Birmingham in observing Fire Prevention Week. At this time fire was discussed from two angles. Fire, the Gift of the Cods. by Dudley Yeo-dickc, and Fire as a National Asset, by Paul Wright. However we were reminded of the disadvantage and told of the price of carelessness with much force by William Hamilton. During the week of December twentieth, to insure a safe and sane Christmas, no doubt, the Law and Order Committee of the General Organization contributed an excellent program and a new projectâ Quiet Halls . We wonder now for what use marshals have formerly been. During the week of December the fourteenth in which comes the birthday of John Herbert Phillips, for the second year. Phillips High School observed Phillips Week in honor of the great mj.n whose name it Iwars. On Monday two friends of Dr. Phillips, Miss Lula Bradford and Mr. Samuel Claybough, gave to us man personal glimpses into the life of the father of our school. Wednesday was devoted to the year's theme of Character Education through the Love of the Beautiful, and several art students made talks on such subjects as, Art and Life,â Leonardo da Vinciâs, The Sistinc Madonna, and Joan of Arc.â On Friday, ordained as a day for the study of the elective courses open at Phillips, the student body was made familiar with those found here. Other programs of importance as well as interest occupied our assembly | eriods. Cn several occasions the Kuterpean Club stepped loyally forward and filled in little saps that would have otherwise seemed monstrously large, and yet little credit has been given it. Perhaps we've just become accustomed to hearing the orchestraâor can it be heard above the tramp of thousands of feetâand the Glee Club, as they take part on nearly all programs. Many of the Eutcrpean programs were truly works of art. The blackface comedians performed to the delight of the audience on various and sundry occasions. Paul Plitemanâs Midgets came forth with a program or two of jazz, and various recitals featuring the private pupils of the music department were presented throughout the year. Cnc of the most novel of the programs was headed Ye Olden Times, though it was really a peep into the future. We were transported to a time supposedly some twenty or thirty years hence. The curtain rose on a grandmother (Evelyn Oreenhalgh) gazing dreamily at her scrap-book. She explains to her practical grandson (Welborn llardie) that she is calling up the scenes of her girlhood at Phillips. And then, there appear before her, as she sits there in the shadows, a group of figures out of the past--Janie Lovelace as a gypsy maiden, Louise Sanders, as she played the piano in tie olden time, Frances Middleton, as she sang in the golden days of the Euterpean and two little girls from the background of her memory as they used to look when they danced the minuet in the long-ago. The R. O. T. C. gave some very impressive and dramatic programs from time to time. Ti e ncvcr-to-bc-forgottcn program on Armistice Day which is always made doubly impressive by the | res-enccof the boys in khaki, was preceded, early in the semester, by the presentation to the Phillips batt; lion of the stars that are awarded by the War Department to honor schools. Miss Virginia Patton, battalion sponsor, received the stars and presented them to the captains of the various companies. In the spring, another dramatic program which was given over to the K. O. T. C. was the award of company and individual honors. It is always inspiring to see the soldiers arrayed on the platform and to observe what very military gentlemen they are. There have l een outside speakers whose subjects have ranged from birds and beasts to sacred literature. We have had visitors from far and near,âDr. Clark of Chicago, Dr. Winship of Boston. Dr. Losey from the Cniversity, a member of the Audubon Society, a visitor from Dallas who told us about the convention,âand many others. Dr. Edmonds, one of our own, and Dr. McDonald, made pleasing talks, and Mr. Moffett, the father of the distinguished Harry, visited us once. And on several occasions we have thrilled at the sound of Dr. Brownâs voice or have rejoiced to hear Dr. '.Iconsâ Young ladies and young gentlemen. We almost forgotâthe Mirror Boards were presented upon two momentous occasions. You doubtless heard of these? And the Annual Board gave a program and a dialogue, featuring Janie Lovelace and Irene Snead, Clarence Lee Richardson and Harric Wood. Of course, we know that we have shamefully neglected to mention many fascinating programs, but if you are among those not mentioned, we hope you will not feel hurt, but that you will good-natu redly acknowledge that perhaps yours was not quite as extraordinary as the others, as we shall l e forced to admit that this subject has l een treated, in other years in a more delightful and charming manner. Euterpean Club The sponsors and officers of the Euterpean Club can truthfully say that the last year hits been the most successful in the history of the dub. Starting last September with the announcement of an entirely new policy, a policy of giving students an opportunity to enjoy fine music programs every other week, programs good enough to draw visitors from all over the city, they have more than lived up to this difficult policy, and the Euterpean is no longer a club of the music department, but a club composed of all the music lovers of Phillips. The Euterpean has had the good fortune to number among its performers musicians of unusual high standing both locally and nationally. Harold Johnson, violinist and Gilbert Sanford, cornetist, rank very high among high school musicians, and Hetty Paxton, harpist and Hollis Garrard, flutist, are artists of a type rarely found except on the concert stage. Be-sdies these talented soloists, the Euterpean has presented several future Galli-Curcis, a band. A boysâ operretta, âDouble Crossedâ of music, and this semesters season is to finish with plendid orchestra, and a remarkable culminated last semesters season the musical comedy, âMary.â The Art Drive For a second time the Art Club has skillfully conducted its drive for associate members and thereby ended a most successful year of work. This drive has dominated all the work of the Art Club (luring the past year and has furnished its members a goal toward which to striveâthat of beautifying Phillips. During the months between November and March, members of the club worked diligently, visiting every session room and presenting the project by which each student could become an associate member upon paying a very small sum each month. In this manner a rather substantial sum was brought into the treasury and added to the amount already on hand. At the will of the club, the money was spent for various works of art. The statue â I he Victory of Samothrace was soon added to the collection given by the Senior Class of 1920 and to the collection of paintings, several famous prints were added. These prints were the selection of students themselves, having been chosen from the group exhibited during Education Week in the small auditorium. Nor did the club rest from its many labors after this. In a joint meeting with the Euterpean Club, living reproductions of the prints were presented and the student body was made acquainted with the works and their authors. The Art Club really feels that it is accomplishing something for Phillips by this work in that she is aiding in introducing to the South this new project of the development of character through close association with the beautiful. This has been the theme of the Birmingham school system during the last year and although it will probably be discarded in 1928, the Art Club will continue to work in this direction, giving to the school an inspiring atmosphere in which to work. Uj-IVH-Crrl uUj? Writer â (Elub dm N February, the teachers, at the suggestion of one of their number, brought together a group fll of boys ami girls in whom they saw the flare of the finer spark, the ability to write. The purpose of the Writers' Club is to recognize an I develop the talent of gifted mem-l ers of the student lxxly. Through the activities of the Writersâ Club the aspiring poet, essayist, and playwright will be encouraged. They will study not only the productions of great writers, but w ill be given the Opportunity to study their own manuscripts. In this way each member will know his own ability and what others think of his work. When a student, so trained, leaves high school, he fin Is himself better prepared for life. Instead of entering some profession which will stifle his aesthetic sensibilities, he lets his appreciative judgement guide him. He thus reduces the long, sad roll of mute inglorious Miltons. The WritersâClub gives its members the highest type of fellowshipâthe fellowship of common interests and common enjoymentâ the sharing of the same friendsâGood Books.

Phillips failed to win a single championship in any ' branch of athletic endeavor, and yet was a runner-up in three major sports. In football the Crimsons were generally regarded as one of the state's strong- I est aggregations. In basketball. Phillips was defeated only by Snead Seminary, the state champions. In baseball Phillips lost to Jefferson County, a team that entered a strong claim to the state title. L_ The season of 1926 in basketball was a very successful one for Phillqis. although they did not win a championship. There are many Crimson supporters who believe that Phillips would have won the state tournament had Malcolm I.aney, flashy guard, been able to participate. Without the strong guard's service, Phillips battled Snead to a 21 to 20 score in the tournament. Phillips won the district tournament, a meeting held for high schools of this section to determine which two institutions would lx eligible to enter the state tournament. In winning the district meet, Phillips had to defeat such high schools ns Simpson, Bessemer, Mortimcr-Jordan and others. The Boysâ Club Prep League championship was won by Coach Tucker's fighting combination. This loop, composed of the four Birmingham high schools, and the two college freshmen teams, was one of the fastest of its type in the South, and Phillipsâ victory presents the name of the high school Ix-forc the most critical as one of the stateâs strongest quintets. The track season proved the most successful in the history of the cinder path at Phillips. The Crimson harriers won the city and county title, and defeated three high schools in dual track meets. Phillips failed to place high in the state meet, but came back strong the following week to w in the county meet at Jefferson County High. The high schools defeated in track by Phillips during 1926 were Simj -son, Wood I aw n, Enslcy, Bessemer and Jefferson County. The Phillips baseball nine missed the state title by inches when they were defeated by Jefferson County in the title game at Berry Kidd, 5 to 2. The Crimsons undoubtedly had one of the strongest baseball teams in history, but had the extreme hard hick of meeting Jefferson on an off day.â Phillips won the district title from Bessemer, Wood I awn, Enslcy and Simpson. The Crimsons honsenide flingers just had hard luck in the final set-to. and it is a safe bet that 1927 will bring a diamond title to the Phillips trophy rooms. And now conics the king of all prep sportsâfootball' The plunk of the pigskin was the signal for the revival of the old Central spirit at Phillips this year. Never has a Phillips High student body supported their team with the whole-hearted enthusiasm of the 1926 students. Phillips went through six games undefeated, and lost the last game of the season to Wood lawn by a close score. Phillips would have had a mighty strong claim to the Southern Championship had the Tide brushed aside Wood-lawn on Thanksgiving Day. The score was 9 to 3, and a more heart-breaking loss has never been felt by the school. Iâhilli| s uricl combination played two out-of-state teams, winning one tilt, ami lying the Other. The Rcdshirts travelled all the way to Jacksonville to lick Duval High to the tune of 13 to 7. Chattanooga came down to the Magic City and surprised everyone by tying Phillips, 7 and 7, in a hard fought affair. Teams that fell before the rush of the Tide in 1926 were Sulhgent, Duval. Knslcy. (iadsden and Anniston. Individual performers who should lx- mentioned in this rcvicwarc Ben Chapman. Malcolm I.aney, Norman Pilgreen, Howard Cranford and Charlie Fisher of the football squad: Jimmy I.ikis, Ben Chapman and Malcolm Lancy of the basketball five; Julius Bozeman and Elliott Mackle of the track performers; and Sam Perry. Freddy Sington. Bill Heard, Ben Chapman and Jack Shipley of the baseball team. Review of 1927 After experiencing one of the most successful basketball seasons in the history of the Phillips High School, the Crimson clad quintet fell before Woodlawn in the last game of the season, thus losing a game that would have meant the state title had Phillips converted the heart-rending defeat into a timely victory. Critics and prep basketball experts throughout the state proclaimed Coach Tuckerâs quintet the fastest and most clever of all aggregations to represent this institution. Phillips had twice defeated the Woodlawn Colonels before the state tourney and those most intimate with the Crimsons recognize the Tide as the superior basketball quintet. Never before in the history of Phillips has a basketball quintet experienced the hard luck that the Crimsons ran into the past year. The jinx that has stubbornly pursued and consistently overtaken all Phillipsâ athletic teams since the school name was changed from Central, continued to defy the efforts of the smooth-working, skilled Phillipian basketeers. The Boys' Club Prep league, an association of four high schools and the two local college freshmen aggregations, proved the first blow to the Phillipiansâ titular amibilions. Last year Phillips won the chnmnsionship after a hard season. This year with the title practically sewed up. Phillips lost a thrilling decision to Woodlawn by a two | oint margin giving the local crown to the Birmingham-Southern Frosh. A handsome basketball trophy was awarded the winning team and gold basketballs presented the players for their work. The Crimsons should have worn those trophies. Those skilled in the art of advancing alibis attritubc the Crimsonsâ downfall in the prep loop to the fact that Malcolm l.aney, brains and inspiration of the team, was missing from the lineup the night of the Woodlawn game. Phillips went out with a vengeance in the fifth district tourney, winning from nineteen teams with startling ease. The Tide swanq ed Woodlawn in the final contest for the championship by a score of 37 to 12. Phillips playing at top form for the first time in weeks completely outclassed their ancient Hast Lake rivals in every department of the game. The state meet was the defeat that broke the hearts of the Phillipians. Confident of victory and in fairly good condition, the sound left Birmingham for Tuscaloosa Thursday afternoon, the day before the opening of the tourney. Consternation was thrown into the players by the drawing of Woodlawn in the first game of the meet. In seasons past, it always has been customary for the winning teams from each district to lx- placed in different brackets. The huge crowd gathered for this game seemed to sense the fact that the winner of the tilt would be the new state champions. Playing under a terrrific mental strain, with nothing to win and everything to lose, the Crimsons were a defeated combination from the outset. At the half Phillips led by a score of 9 to 3 but those who knew their basketball were able to see that the listless play of the Crimsons would not stave off the victory mad fighting of the Colonels. The final count was 16 to 12. Woodlawn won the rest of the games leading up to the state championship with comparative ease. Captain Ben Chapman, Malcolm Uincy, Jack Sanford, Bill Heard and Jimmy Likis formed the Phillips quintet for the 1927 season. Never l efore has a Phillips team showed the ability and skill of this aggregation. Conscientious workers clean fighters and clever players, l.aney was ineligible part of the season while Chapman and Sanford suffered from various minor injuries throughout the year. The jinx that prevents Phillips' teams from winning the championship cannot dim the luster of the brilliant record made by the Phillips cage machine in 1927. Lemuel Conway, Guard Conway was new at Phillips but soon gained recognition because of his earnest ambitious fighting in practice sessions. He got in many of the important battles at critical stages and always came through. Conway will probably be back. Stuart 1 ockhakt. Assistant Manager O k ? Jack Shipley. Halfback This diminutive speedster was a thorn in the side to all I hillips' foes during the lest season Shipley rounded ends or slid off tackles with the same destructive zest and was one of the best punters on Coach Tucker's squad. Shipley has another year i Oder C rim son colors, lie hr.s a brigl t future. Walter sborne, Guard Two hundred pounds of fighting flesh. âFatâ certainly dealt out misery in generous gobs.

After a splendid season, the Juniors were the victors in Class Football, defeating t he Sophomores in the final game for the championship. This is almost identically the same team which won the championship last year against the upperclassmen. Much of the credit for the Juniors victory is due to the splendid coaching of Messers. Shipley and Sington. who did valiant work for the team. The team functioned brilliantly, showing strength, speed, and resourcefulness. Great support was given the winning team by their classmates who turned out with great enthusiasm for all games. A large number of bovs showed excellent ability and look well for prosj ects for the varsity next year.

Among the teams that fell before Phillips during the season were Woodlawn, Simpson. Bessemer, Howard Rats. Southern Rats and Shelby. Woodlawn was beaten twice, Simpson was beaten three times, Bessemer was trounced thrice, while the Howard Rats fell l efore the Crimsons in a duo of games.

From the loginning of the season, the Crimsons began to mow down all opposition, taking most of their games by overwhelming scores. Most of the credit for the success of the team is due to Fred Sington, whose masterful pitching became known all over the state. Ben Chapman was the hitting star, batting around âą390 for the season. Others who proved handy with the willow were Malcolm Laney, Sam Perry and Jack Sanford. The outstanding defensive players were Sam Perryâ, Bill Heard, Ty Jones and frvine Porter.

The Girls' Athletic Club was organized last fall so that every girl in Phillips, whether taking gymnasium or not. might have an opportunity to take part in athletics. Membership is open to any girl who simply signs her name on the roll. There are no regular clues, but any member who takes part in games or tournaments pays a small fee to defray the expenses attached to the sport. Girlsâ athletics is a field of activity which is everywhere on an upward trend, and Phillips is no exception to the general rule. The organization of the girls into class teams, the founding of the Girls' Athletic Club, the establishment of basketball leagues,âare all signs which show which way the wind is blowing.

The past year at Phillips proved a very successful one for the girlsâ basketball teams for the Crimson class sextettes annexed the city title in a series of thrilling cage contests with Woodlawn and Enslcy. This season Phillips was not represented by a varsity girls' team as has been the custom for many seasons. Teams were selected by Miss Dewberry, girls' athletic director, from each of the classes. Leagues were formed at Phillips, also. These leagues presented an opportunity for over thirty-five girls to play Ixisketball whereas the system of only varsity teams allowed eight or nine to take part in active basketball competition. The results of the class games between Phillips, Woodlawn and Enslcy were as follows: December 6, Phillips Seniors 46, Woodlawn 2; December 6, Phillips Juniors 14, Woodlawn 4; December 9, Phillips Sophs 13, Knsley 5; December 9, Phillips Sophs 14. Woodlawn 7. The final games for the championship were played on December 23. The Phillips Seniors downed Enslcy Seniors 21-5 and the Crimson clad Juniors trounced the Knsley Juniors 12 to 9. c I â 4 Girlsâ Basketball League First ReneâWilma Cox.

In mentioning this series of games, it is necessary to name some of the individual performers who were largely responsible for Phillips success in the class games. Stars of the Seniorsâ sextette were Florence Stevens, Mary Rose McGowan and Bernandinc Moose. The outstanding performers for the juniors were Myra Harrison, Evelyn Shill and Freda Brown. Those who played efficiently for the Sophomore class were Wilma Cox, Roberta Nell Fruitticher and Mary Ellen Saunders. Another feature of the girls' season at Phillips was the leagues. These cage loops were formed with the purpose of making it possible for a greater number of girls to take part in athletics at the sc hool. A large number of girl basketball lovers tiioli part in the competition and the season passed was probably the most interesting in history from the girl students' viewpoint. The girls playing on the winning team were awarded letters for their work while those on the second team, defeated in the finals, were given class numerals. Athletic Association OFFICERS From Irfi to right: Lillian Little. Fred Si noton, Madge Hardy, Mr. Cooper A FORECAST OF 1927 IN PHILLIPSâ ATHLETIC FIELDS When this very amateur prophet gazes into the mystic depths of the crystal that contains the future of Phillips High School athletic teams, he sees lurking in all corners of tnat mysterious glohc a roseate glow that forecasts glorious things in athletics for the coming year. To attempt to tell what Phillipsâ football, baseball, basketball and track squads will do next season is a comparatively easy undertaking, but to successfully relate what will be achieved is an impossibility. So be lenient in your criticism of this wild forecast. Next season when the clarion sounds for the warriors of the gridiron. Phillips will return more letter men to the field than any other season has ever brought forth. Only four men graduated from the varsity ranks. They were Gus Wingo. Howard Cranford, Freddy Singlon and probably Hen Chapman. All of these men will be missed but the wealth of new material and reserve men is expected to till the vacancies without any noticeable effect. Hackfield men returning for service in 1927 will be Norman Pilgrccn, Jack Shipley, James Lott, Hill Heard ami | os.sibly Hen Chapman. Chapman may enter college on his credits this spring. This array of talent along with Turner, Peterson, Pierce, Hawley and others should give Phillij s an enviable array of ball carriers. The linesmen returning are Walter Osborne, James Cooper, David Arial. Charlie Fisher, Jack Sanford, Herry McNally, John Dye and Conway. Numerous other candidates will be out for positions in the forward wall also. Although the year 1926 in football did not bring a championship, it was one of the most successful of seasons yet experienced by Phillips. Next year Philliiw should bring a championship to the school that has not been realized for the past three years of football campaigning. The basketball season also should prove a very successful one for the Crimson and White. Phillips will return such stars as Jack Sanford, David Arial, the Griftin brothers, Frank Hines, Hill Heard and probably Hen Chapman. Numerous other candidates are expected to nqjort at the start of the year, among them Busby McNally who was prevented by illness from taking part in the basketball play of 1926. Phillips had a great'basketball aggregation in 1926-27. In 1927-28 the prospects of a team equally as strong are very bright. Phillips has always been strong on the basketball court. The coming year will be no exception to the successful seasons passed. (§15 iKntghtH 3n Nnit (Emtrtfi After winning their spurs on Phillips' field, each year many young knights leave us to gain greater glory;. But they do not forget the court of their first endeavor. Neither docs Phillips forget them. At all seasons, from far and near, she asks about their late achievements. She welcomes their messages. AFTER MANY QUESTS âNo, Mister Robert Clingman, since you ask me, I must in truthfulness confess that despite the attempts of Dr. Brown to have me taught, and efforts of Miss Senn and Miss l.ynch and Miss Merrill and a lot of others to teach me, I went away from high school as barren of knowledge as a Mexican terrier of plumes. (And mark me. so far as that figure goes, even yet I'd never be mistaken for an ostrich.) âBy knowledge, Robert, I mean that I did not have the most remote idea about the relation between sine and cotangentâif there is oneâor whether it was 11-2, SO-4 or some other chemical concoction which had that melodious smell. My understanding of the results of the French Revolution was hazy, and my appreciation of the ability to croak amo-amas-amat was negligible. âBut at that time I didn't care (and if you promise not to tell any of your teachers I'll whisper to you that I still donât), for I had learned the exquisite joy of the midnight shiver brought on by the tapping of old blind Pewâs stick and his hollow squawk of, âBlaret the boy, why didn't I put out his eyes. ' I had stood in the dock, and it was I who cried, ââI am Jean Valjcan.' I was Sherlock Holmes. I solved the mystery ol âThe Study in Scarlet.' I was Oliver Twist and squirmed beneath Feagin's fingers. I cried about Marse Chan and many a lady I freed along with Lancelot. Then what did I care whether or not ABC really equal X-3Y. âListen, Robertâright now you and alt your academic generation arc choked by the realization that you must leave âdear old Phillips. Yes, and it is right that you should be. âOn the evening I was given my diploma, I went home and told myself that my life was behind me. I had left high school and there was nothing ahead but a black and silent void. The happiest days of my life were ended. âThen I went away to college. And soon, very- soon, high school l cgan to recede and in a shamefully short time all my sworn eternal allegiance had changed to a mere memory. It was right that it should, for I had answered the passage of time and now college was paramount in my life. Then esme the clay when again I was graduated. Again I stood staring into the abysmal darkness. The happiest days of my life were ended. And then I went away to a foreign university. And soon, very soon, college faded into a few notable footlxall games, a half dozen eccentric professors and a moss-covered building. The university was life and it would last forever. . . But, there came a day when I stepped upon the deck of an ocean liner, and my throat was solid as I watched a purple line washed into the horizon by the slow rolling of the waves. The happiest days of my life were ended. âAnd yet, Robert, somehow Iâm able to endure the passing from the university. Strange to say even it constantly is becoming more and more remote to me. And even more remarkable, probably, is the fact that I'm l cginning not to miss it. âIâm not sure, Robert, but my guess is, come and pass whatever will, 1 shall be only momentarily lonely and sad. because upon the shelves of my library old Pew still cries:'âBlarst the boy, why didn t I put'out his eyes. â Jean Valjean still plays with little Cosette. Queen C.uinevere still goes a-Maving. ââAnd that, Robert, was by far the most important lesson I ever learned in high school. James Saxon Childers.

All Alabama and especially Birmingham was thrilled to learn that Bobby Baugh had won the Rhodes scholarship, but even this is eclipsed by the report (for it is still a report) that Foster has made the Freshman class at our state university. âo------oâ The dignified and | ompous president of the Januury class of 1027 has at last succeeded in securing a much sought after | osition. This position is indeed a responsible one, and offers opportunity for immediate advancement. Alden deserves any honor which may be bestowed ujx)n him. and we all should show our appreciation of this new honor by going out to his office and playing cards or something else with him to help while away the time. The job of time-keeper and night-and-day watchman affords âSimpâ much leisure time which could be spent very profitably anywhere but twenty miles from Fast Lake where he now happens to be located. âo------oâ Lucy Stevens (Nonnicâs sister, of course) says that Alabama College at Montevallo is preparing for a goodly numlicr of Phillips girls to swell the ranks of Birmingham girls there. Lucy seems to Ik. as popular in Montevallo as she is here, for she was selected as undergraduate representative of the Y. V. C. A. after being president of her class for two years. âo------oâ If Herman Sanford plays as hard and as enthusiastically for the Chattanooga Lookouts as he did for Phillips, we are certain that he will make good as a professional ball player. During his stay at Phillips, Sandy was instrumental in our many victories in baseball, basketball and football. YVe wish him all the luck possible, and hope to see him perform up to his Phillips standard in the Southern League. âo------câ The Si. Louis Cardinals should win another pennant, with a battery made up of two former Phillips l oys, no less than Johnnie Grill and Frank Chambers. âo------oâ A last minute dispatch from Gus Wingo and Jesse Ycates states that neither of the boy sailors have been sea sick, and that they are too busy (imagine!) to lie homesick.

Ira was missed from the school lunch room where he has spent most of his time since he graduated, and upon inquiry, he was found to be working for a construction company. Ira was reported to be digging ditches at the old postoffice, but was really pushing a wheel barrow around at the new library, under the eagle eye of a foreman, whom Ira declared had eyes in the back of his head. âo------oâ We arc glad to hear that Ed Herzog has not been arreste I for forgery as yet. although he has been making a name for himselfâat Auburn.

According to the report of an eyewitness. Wyndham Southgate, the riot was as follows: I was |Kâaccfullv sitting at my little desk. said Mr. Southgate, when questioned by a reporter from the M.M.. and was calmly dispensing checks to a heterogeneous mob of students, when I was conscious of a little confusion. Rising up an inch or two, so that I might lx:tter perceive what was going on. I noted two of my friends engaged in what I considered a friendly war of words. The two were George McCracken and Robert Clingman. 1 gathered that the ouarrel was due to the fact that Mr. Clingman, in a moment of absent-mindedness. had partaken of Mr. McCracken's beans, instead of confining himself to his own sustenance. I felt that if I approached peace might l e restored, so I drew near, when, to my astonishment and horror, Mr. McCracken suddenly struck Mr. Clingman a terrific low right on the right check. Mr. Clingman recoiled a step or two. then lunged forward and returned the blow with a tremendous upper-cut. By this time, two factions had formed, led by Go-Gct-Em Yancey and Big Smith, who in the general confusion, forgot which side each was supporting. MAY. 1« 27 BOARD HOLDS MEETING The board of the Miniature Mirror held its first meeting la6t week. A vocal solo was rendered by C.us Wingo to the tune of You Used to Belong to Somelxxly Else But Now You Belong To Me. This was followed by a little ditty on the cornet, given with great artistic excellence by Mr. l.eo Siegel, accompanied by Mr. Lionel Waggoner. Following the musical numbers, rejK rts were given by representatives of two departments; the other seven having l een given passes to the Lyric, were unfortunately absent. At the suggestion of Mr. Jesse Yeates, the meeting was adjourned. Mr. Hamilton objected to the motion, since he had a few words to say. but the objection was over-ruled. and began grappling with each other. I attempted to intervene, but collided with Go-Cet-Em Yancey's right fist. By now, the lenders of the two factions were beyond all control, and were overturning tables and breaking milk bottles over the heads of the innocent bystanders. Three little Freshmen girls fainted, and two mon- were carried out, terror-stricken by the ferocity of the combatants. Suddenly a bevy of Kellerâs Konstables apj earcd and restored order, after great damage had been done. It is to be hoped that we will have no such riots in the near future. No. 1 AGITATION IN HALLS Mr. David Jaffe was attacker! by a ruffianly mob of students who announced that they had been romiacd passes which Mr. Jaffe ad unfortunately lost. The villainous attack occurred Indore the statue of Jeanne dâArc who f;azed sadly upon the mob. It is K lieved that many of the offenders were some of our most distinguished students, but since all dispersed before a reporter was able to reach the scene, no definite information has been secured. Mr. Jaffe is resting well at his residence. REMEDY FOR CONGESTION A remedy has been discovered that, it is thought, will relieve the abnormal congestion at the front entrance to Phillip each day .it 2:30. The entrance has become a rendezvous and attracts so large a throng that the Committee of PublicSafety appointed by President Meachem was forced to look into the matter. Details of the plan will bo announced later. PERSONALS Mr. James I.ikis is in receipt of an anonymous letter from a young lady who desires a silver basketball,âor gold, if the silver is not procurable. Mr. I.ikis has referred the letter to Mr. Benjamin Chapman. Mr. Ira Reese recently sfxmt a few day in Nashville, having gone thither to rest after his strenuous lat ors at Phillips. He returned much improved in health. L-a-d-i-e-s .1 ini gent-I-e m-a-n! Step right this way to the big show! See the living wonders of the age! Tickets only TEN CENTS! Step right this way to the big tent. We search our pockets and finally draw out our ncxt-to-the-last-dime with which we had solemnly foresworn to purchase one of those delicious and refreshing hot dogsâ with the hot stuffâ on them. But. alas! who of us is so wortlly or so mundane as even to consider the pangs of hunger when the chance of seeing the living wonders of the age is passing fast? I.adies anti Gentlemen! To the right we perceive the Reborns Perritus. Now the RKBORUS PERRITUS was found roaming in the wilds of Highland Avenue. The REBORUS PERRITUS is an extremely beautiful animal and it is said that l efore the capture of this animal its abode was so thickly populated by the male of the species that on Sunday nights after9o clock there was standing room only. Ladies and Gentlemen! To our left we observe Willamatus Hamiltarus. This animal is noted for its intelligence and industry. He was captured while asltep in the MIRROR OFFICE. The Wil-I AM.AT US HAMILTARUS is noted for its shiny black hair and a huge brief case which it totes constantly for reasons yet unknown. It is a lonely animal and is never seen wandering with members of the alleged fairer sex. Ladies and Gentlemen! To our east we see the Helcnae Johnstanarus. This animal is also noted for its great beauty and intelligence. The appearance of the HELENAE JOHNSTANARUS so thrilled the great philanthropist whose motto is âCharacter education thru the love of beautiful animals that he has purchased this animal for our company, and so, it won't be long now until HELENAE joins the happy throng of elephants, monkeys and aunt-eaters at the Avondale Zoo Ladies and Gentlemen! To our west we see the Rossitrum Smithatus. who comes from the species YANCIATAE. which is the old Greek meaning for Chalk Throwers.â In spite of the small stature of this animal, it is said to be an orator of no mean note. He often brings victory to his pack (YANCIATAE) against the neighboring packs. Curritae, Hilliadati and Owcnskne. Ladies ami Gentlemen! To our south we behold the greatest wonder of the twentieth century, the CHARLIBUS SULLIVANUS. The Sullivnnus is a remarkable animal for it is never known to Ik idle. It is the one living animal that can live without sleep, and is famed for the terrific speed with which it is able to propel a frightful conveyance known as the Dodgibus, a terrible grey object on black, sometimes muddy wheels, which strikes terror into the hearts of the more peaceful animals. Ladies and Gentlemen! To the north w e have a new and remarkable species, the Williatus Anni-bus Ricibus (sometimes known by its more familiar name of Bananabus C.rittibus) which was captured after a desperate search by three famous hunters who were forced to gag the animal before they could corral it. All who have ever seen this remarkable specimen have been fascinated by the continuous flow of sounds that jxiur forth front the mouth of the Williatus. Ode to Evening Soft, like a cloak of silk. Darkness enfolds the world. Pale beauties of twilight. â One star, candle of heaven. ('â learning alone, high and silver: Lights, glimmering in the dusk, Half hidden by wavering mists; Noises, somehow softened by the night. Mingling into a symphony of sound; One pale streak of rosy light. Drawn across the western sky, A last elegy for buried day. Life, in a moment half of day and half of night, Pauses and breathes an anthem of prayer and praise. Sara Chappkm.

Till- REVENGE OF WILLIAM THE SILENT or THE RAPE OF THE SHOE BUCKLES There dwelt in the city of Camelot. by the waters of Minnetonka, a maiden fair to behold. In fact, she was of surpassing beauty and brilliance. In heaven she may have been ycle| ed Euphrosyne, but in Camelot she was known as Lady Jane the Haughty. Many were the knights who became slaves to her remarkable powers, but no one was more faithful than the doughty Sir William the Silent, who was a noble knight, tall and slender. He rode a milk-white steed, which had become a little antiquated, and therefore became somewhat difficult to manage at times. In the course of time. Lady Jane rejected Sir William and the noble knight vowed revenge. He ripjied out five terrific oaths, stroked his Ijcard, and summoned his bandy-legged henchmen, who at the time of the summons, were nipping Ginger Ale in the knights' court-yard. One of the faithful henchmen, a meek-faced lad who had but lately entered the employ of the knight, revealed the fact that it was rumored that the Lady Jane owed (ter fatal an«l fascinating beauty to the beautiful shoe buckles which she always wore, and which were entirely responsible for her charm. With another oath the knight vowed that he would, before another sun had set, come into possession of the buckles, and thus deprive Lady Jane of her charm. With this in mind, he challenged the country-side to a bridge tournament, arranged his card tables, and prepared for revenge. The Lady Jane, being not only beautiful but vain, prided herself on her remarkable bridge playing, and surrounded by a retinue of ferocious suitors, appeared at the castle of William the Silent. Concealing his wounded feelings, the knight took the arm of the lady, escorted her to a table, and announced that he and Lady Jane challenged all comers. The cards were dealt; William the Silent looked at his hand and promptly bid five no-trumps. Lady Jane shrieked aloud. The suitors rushed forward. Lady Jane continued to shriek, while the suitors stood dangling their lx nnets and plumes and glaring ferociously. At this juncture, William perceived that the time for revenge was now ripe. Reaching under the table, under cover of the confusion and the shrill shrieks of Lady Jane, he snatched the buckles, and before the theft could be discovered, dashed from the room, under pretext of summoning medical attendance for the shrieking lady. He bleu a whistle, forth came the bandy-legged henchmen, leading the ancient steed. With a leap and a bound, Sir William was off down the highway, waving the buckles in the air. Such is the story of the theft of the shoe bucklesâor how Sir William the Silent secured his revenge. Moral: Pride always goes before a card game. {At School Recess) The Disdainful One: I wouldnât take advantage of you because I come from fighting stock! The Hard-boiled One: Don't let that stop yuh!
