Published by the Students of. Phillips High School VOL. XXX MAY, 1931 No. 1 EDI'TORIALS HE PHILLIPIAN Board wishes to thank the contributors to the PHILLIP- IAN vwho have helped to make the paper interesting, and the advertisers who have aided the paper financially. IT is doubtful whether we stop to think in the rush of studying and taking part in outside activities just how much benefit and help we receive from townspeople. Let us take for an example our speaking contests. In high schools there are two types of speakers, those who don't try, and those who are interested in the speak- ing and try to do their best. The majority of pupils in Phillips High School are of the latter type. That means that very many of the high sclhool pupils must get help on their selections. The teachers help some, but others, either because the teachers are too busy .to help, or because they prefer to go to the townspeople. Pupils 'who go out- side of school for coaching are quick to find it among our willing townspeople, and the fact that wwe have so many cups in our trophy case speaks for the ability of our outside coaches. There are people in town without whose help we could not put on as Hnis-hed dramatic productions as we do. They are willing to spend evening after evening with a group of high school people, drilling them -to take their parts in the play. On the night of the performance they are will- ing to come early to dress and make up t-he characters. All of this takes time and un- limited patience. Our townspeople give both with lavish hand. Several of the men here in town were ready and willing this last winter to drive over rough roads in the snow and cold, so that our basketball boys might get to the games. They weren't obliged to do this. They did it 'because they wanted to see our school rank with other schools in basket- ball. We could go on and on naming the various ways in which the townspeople help the school. Space is too limited, how- ever, but we want to say in behalf of the school that every one in High School is grateful to the people for what they have done for the school. R. C. L. DEBATING in Phillips High School in the past four years has become a subject of increasing interest and in this field Phillips has established an enviable record. Teams from Phillips 'have won seventeen out of twenty debates and Robert Lawrence, for 'two years has won .the hundred dollar scholarship as best individual in the league. But debating history dates back farther than four years. For several years pre-. vious to this time Phillips was represented by good teams, and, although not as suc- cessful as later teams, they were working up an interest and paving the way for later victories. In 1927 Kingfield High School was the first high school in Franklin County to be represented at Bates. But our turn came the next year when, winning both prelimi- nary debates over Kingfield and Strong, Montford Libby, Elaine Badger, Robert Lawrence, and Cecil Voter carried our school colors to Bates for the first time, where they were one of the four schools to reach the finals. In 1929 our success was even greater. The school was represented by Robert Lawrence, Everett Harnden, Montford Libby, and Dorothea Vose. All competing .
