“LIFE WITH BOTHER” During our careers at Phillips, we may have had troubles, but we can re-inember. too, countless pleasant things that have made our days at school lively and unforgettable. We will never forget Jane Thede and Barbara Watson, always on some committee .... the ever-present couples, Margaret Kirk and Stanley Schultz, Buddy Walker and Terry Thibodeau. Jimmy Bragan and Sarah King .... and the gal-pals always together. Martha Jane Saunders and Freda Bond, Ann Lee Trimble and Martha Sue Johnson, Carolyn Wilson and Frances Barton, and Ann Cole and Elsie Riley .... majorette Evelyn Fountain, strutting with her sister baton-twirlers at every football game. . . . Jean Pesnell, among the many gals who acquired that ring on the important finger. . . . Billy Scale, pestering Mr. Thelander, much to the enjoyment of all concerned .... every senior proud as a peacock of the new gorgeous red curtains that we wanted so long .... the brother and sister team. Doris and Earle Ginn. Who doesn’t remember Buddy Walker leading every known organization at Phillips? . . . Jimmie Nell Real ever and eternally making another “A and inarching with the R.O.T.C........Ann Smith playing her Concerto in “Q” Flat.......... Frances Neighbors disproving the theory that all red-headed people have bad tempers. . . . Jane Barnett marching with the band, rain or shine, while playing the flute. . . . Jack Edwards trying to write a Latin book that uses no grammar (or gran'pa cither). . . . Mac Russell shining and polishing his brass buttons on inspection day. . . . Martha Sue Johnson answering all the questions in Miss Castleman’s history class. . . . Barbara Watson, Kathryn Jones and Issabella Smith encouraging cheers from the Rootin’ Section at the football games. . . .

We will never forget the crush and—we might as well break down and confess it—the fun of registration days, the lunch-period huddles, our first campaign speeches—and the ones we made ourselves .... the day we first looked at the picture of Dr. Phillips on the wall of the auditorium and wondered who he was, but wondered more if we’d ever graduate—the way we felt January 16, 1947!
