Pauline Adams Published by the Students of Phillips High School VOL. XXXI JUNE, 1932 No. 1 EDITORIALS HE Editorial Board wishes to extend its thanks and appreciation to those who have aided in publishing THE PHILLIP- IAN this year. We f,eel grateful indeed to both the advertisers Qto whom we hope our readers 'will give their patronagej, and to the contributors, for upon the generosity of the former depends the financial success of the paper, while upon the contributions of the latter depends its true value. The basketball team wishes to take this opportunity to express its sincere apprecia- tion for the material aid given by the townspeople who have furnished free trans- portation -to the games and others who have contributed for the same cause. Were it not for the few who help us in this way our athletics would be very limited. Why is it that there is so little response in the extra-curricula activities of our school? Because the time is spent in hold- ing down street corners or something of as little benefit. It is easy to watch the other fellow work and cheer him along but not so sweet to do it yourself. Think not only of self but sacrifice a little for your school. Be willing to take part, whether it be in debating, athletics, dramatics, or speaking. For life is a mirror of king arid of slave, 'Tis just what you are and do, Then give to the world the best that you have, And the best will come back to you. ,ili- STUDENT VOICES URING the past few years there has been a growing need for an adequate athletic building. We have been fortunate to have the Community House, yet it seems as if our achievements have merited more adequate facilities. In other towns the ex- pense of coach, gymnasium, and equipment is paid by the town. In Phillips High School athletics finances itself. Were some of the money appropriated for the support of schools spent in this way and less in places where it is unnecessary more visible benefit might be derived. We do wish to express to the townspeople our sincere appreciation of their earnest efforts and loyalty in our behalf. We real- ize the expense involved in constructing a gymnasium, yet if expended over a period, comparatively and estimates the added tax would be small. We hope the plans submitted by the committee chosen to ar- range them will meet with approval by the town. There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heartg never believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it is true. Never tell even that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary, and that God is listening while you tell it. --Henry Van Dyke. SLANG SHORT time ago I read an item expressing the opinion of a dean in one of our leading women's colleges con- cerning slang. She told undergraduates that they were a generation behind in the matter of slang. Slang, she said, was accepted as a natural part of language, even by scholars, because it was pungent and brief. . The deterioration, she said, was not con- fined to 'that particular college alone. The retrogression was universal and probably was part of an anti-collegiate movement. The same old words prevail about the country, the dean said. There was a period when college students used to set the pace, 4 THE PHILLIPIAN while now they seem content to imitate and to follow. Until they can snap into it and come across with something better than OK and KO , they might as well say Yes , she said in effect. It -seemed to me on first thought that this was 'a most unusual 'stand for a college dean to take. We usually think of college deans as stern, strick old fogies who frown at all exhibitions of pep and all modern innova- tions. Reconsidering, however, I began to see her viewpoint. Surely slang is the spice of a language, the means which prevent its becoming stilted, a satisfactory outlet for exuberance and other emotions. These concise, snappy expressions are what youth needs to express itself. They lend an air of up-to-date-ness. But it is imperative that these expres- sions should be constantly changing to maintain their pep. As soon as they have been used a short time they grow tiresome. Thus there is the nec-essity of youth's being ever alent, 'seeking new snappy words and expressions. Certainly our language would be stiff and formal if it were entirely devoid of our so-called slang. It is tiresome to hear a person always use English perfectly grammatical and proper. Such a person is much more boring than one who relieves his speech occasionally with a little slang. On the other hand it is just as tiresome to hear the same old expressions day after day, with never any new ones. What we need, certainly, is a whole new Hbunchn of slang, and I suggest that someone create some. 3 Q.. 15 THE PHILLIPIAN THE SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS President Erland Fraser Vzcc Prpgidmzt Henry Richardson Sggrgfaylv XVendell Whitney Twasizrer Leola Kempton Class Motto - H Perseverance VVins Success.

JUNIORS' BOOTH FOLLOWING the precedent established by former classes, we Juniors had a booth of our own at the annual fair. We had some difficulty, but, with the aid of several of the fathers, we succeeded in construct- ing and decorating the booth in colors of old rose and silver. We sold the usual things and were well patronized despite much competition. We feel grateful and wish by this means to express our appreciation to all who helped in any way to make our booth a success. M. E. W., '33. 12 THE PHILLIPIAN SOPHOMORE CLASS 1 .

FAVORITE CLASS POEM BY the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their Hag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard 'round the world. The foe long since in silence slept, Alike the conqueror silent sleeps, And time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today a votive stone, That memory may their deed redeem, When like our sires our sons are gone. Spirit that made those heroes dare To die and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee.

' Mr. Carrington, a pompous-looking gen- tleman, was ensconced in an easy chair. He loved the little luxuries of life, indeed, his -desire for them was second only to his love of speech. His children were wont to say that he must spend his spare time in studying the dictionary that he might im- pr-ess people with the long words that rolled so easily off his tongue. just now he was leaning back, pulhng at a cigar, in silence. The will was that of his aunt who had just died, leaving several million dollars. Of course, since the Carringtons were her only living relatives they would be well-situated. His wife, a haughty, aristocratic lady, was seated near the lawyer. Their son, a youth who bore the unmis- takable stamp of college, was swinging his legs carelessly as he balanced on the edge of a chair where his sister, Virginia, was curled up cosily. jerry was listening. Aunt Sara was such a queer old duck, ran his thoughts, that her will was sure to be interesting. Virginia was the least interested of the little group. Her inheritance, since she was only seventeen, would probably be left in the hands of her father, who already gave her a liberal allowance, so why worry? The droning voice of the lawyer went on: K' To my nephew, james A. Carrington, I bequeath five hundred thousand dollars, on the condition that he speak neither to his family nor to any other person or dumb animal, for one week, the week to begin the Sunday after my deceasef' The lawyer's eyes twinkled as he heard the man gasp, but con-tinued: 6' To my niece, Harriet L. Carrington, I bequeath five hundred thousand dollars, on the condition that she live at the gardener's cottage, on my estate, for one week, doing all of the work which may be necessary for her living. The lady lifted her head, but as the rest looked up to see how she was taking it, she said nothing, and he read: To my great-nephew, Iereld Carring- ton, I bequeath live hundred thousand THE PHILLIPIAN 17 dollars, on the condition that he spend, for one week, only pennies, no other coins or bills to be used for anything he may pur- chasef! jerry smiled. He believed his conditions to be the simplest yet read. The four waited breathlessly for Virginia's. It was: To my great-niece, Virginia Carring- ton, I bequeath five hundred thousand dollars, to be left in the hands of my law- yer, until she reaches the age of twenty- one, when she shall receive the whole amount, on the condition that she spend a week at my home at Shadow Falls. The whole house is at her disposal for six nights, but on the seventh she must, at midnight, go to my bedroom in the east wing, and spend the remainder of the night there, all lights to be turned off. .linny shivered. She knew what a lonely, gloomy place Shadow Falls was, and her aunt's bedroom-why, that was where the old lady had died! The remainder of the will read that in case the family did not comply with the conditions as stated, the money would go to a charitable institution. The lawyer lin- ished and looked out over his glasses which were perched on his nose at an angle, where Virginia always watched -them for fear they would drop off. Well - he said expectantly. Mrs. Carrington spoke coldly, Aunt Sara -could not have been in her right mind. She decidedly wasf' Mr. Trent replied. You would have no grounds if you tried to contest the will, and you would simply be cut off altogether. Preposterous! Mr. Carrington de- clared, utterly so. 4' Think it over, Mr. Trent advised. Two million dollars is nothing to laugh at. But-may I have your decision to- night, as soon as possible? You, if you ac- cept, will have to begin to fulfill the con- ditions at twelve o'clock tonight, you know. Virginia will have to go to Shadow Falls, and Mrs. Carrington to the cottage. I be- lieve you may see each other during the day, so long as you do not help in any way. I shall rely upon you all to comply with the conditions, if you do accept. Mr. Carrington stiffened, If you will have dinner with us in an hour, Mr. Trent, you may have our decision then. The lawyer left the room, and an hour later, when the five sat down to dinner, the answer was, Yes . II Jerry offered to take Virginia to Shadow Falls, and, as the car entered the driveway Virginia looked at her watch. Five min- utes of twelve. At midnight she would be alone, with only the servants, in the op- posite wing. In a panic of terror she clung to her brother. I can? do it, Jerry! I'm so fright- ened! Take me back! UAW jinny, be a sport! jerry patted her consolingly. It won't be half-bad. You can stay in the library and read, ex- cept for Saturday night and you can see Mother at the cottage, and I'll come out after this week. Buck up, Sis! They entered the house and Jerry switched on the lights in the library. A fire had been built in the fireplace, but the corners of the room were dark and gloomy. The grandfather clock ticked loudly, and Jerry, with the parting words of: H Say, Sis, if you get lonesome, think of what a figure I'll cut with my pennies. Darn Aunt Sara anyhow! was gone, and -Iinny was left alone as the clock chimed twelve. The next noon Jerry was passing through the hall when the telephone rang. He answered and heard a familiar feminine voice. That you, jerry dear? Uh huh, he replied, thinking, 'I Sylvia Carr, of all people! It is Sylvia, came the voice at the other end of the wire. Don't you want to take me out to lunch? Jerry hesitated. Th-ose pennies! He 'd feel like a fool. Sylvia wouldn't, of 18 THE PH course, be openly amused, but he had a vision of her smile when she saw him pay the check in pennies! A' Oh, you needn't if you 'd rather not, she told him. But I do! 'i Jerry insisted. H I'd love to! I 'll drive around for you. An hour later they 'sat at a cozy little table. Jerry had prolonged the meal as muc-h as possible. They 'd have to leave sometime. He glanced at the check, and frowned. Sylvia smiled 'as she drew her furs closer around her n-eck. jerry tried, Sylvia, I have a little busi- ness with the manager. Why don't you wait in the car? But I don't mind waiting here! Not at all ! . Sylvia would be like thiat, jerry thought furiously. The next few moments seemed like ages, as he, with his face very red, counted out the pennies. He dared not look at Sylvia. She tucked her 'arm in his as they went out. Jerry, dear, how unique! was all she said. As he left her she told him she was go- ing away for a while. jerry feigned dis- appointment, but in reality he decided it was the best news he 'd heard for years. Sylvia was so persistent. With her gone, maybe he could keep away from the rest of his friends. He drove home where he found his father fuming silently. Jerry -grinned as he went upstairs. Poor old Dad. Maybe the pennies aren't so bad, after all l Meanwhile Mrs. 'Carrington had eaten her lunch-the first meal she had ever prepared. The meat was burned, the vegetables only half-cooked, the dessert which she had tried to make from a recipe in a cook-book she had found, was a com- plete failure. Virginlia found her trying to wash dishes, and then jerry came. They talked over their troubles. Virginia had slept on the couch in -the library, the night before, and she told them -her part wasn't ILLIPIAN half-bad, while Jerry related his experience with Sylvia. Mrs. Carrington had been terribly humil- iated by a visitor. The Mrs. Van Derick, it seemed, had called, while she was sweep- ing the floor, to ask about a club meeting. She had had on an apron, not exactly clean, and later .had discovered that there were two smudges on her nose. She could never meet that woman again, and feel completely at her ease. The week was drawing to a close. Vir- ginia had had little to frighten her at the old house, but today was Saturday. That evening she went into the library and picked out a book. Oblivious to everything she read it through. When Hnally she tin- ished, the grandfather's clock struck a quarter of twelve. Virginia felt that it had an ominous sound. In another quarter-hour! That fifteen minutes was like years! At 'two minutes of twelve Virginia bravely turned off the lights and started upstairs. It was so dark! Her imagination made the harmless curtains, the stair-rail, the very doors, take on a ghostly aspect. But-as she paused before the door of her aunt's bedroom, her hand on the knob, it swung open. A shriek caught in her throat. She entered-the room was in utter darkness. Virginia., feeling ther way, edged toward a chair and sank down into it. Terror seized her. She prayed for unconsciousness, but it did not come. An eerie, long-drawn wail li-lled the room. For hours she sat there. At intervals ghostly forms seemed hover- ing about the bed. Then came the wait like that of a lost soul. Would morning never come? Suddenly her eyes were blinded by 3 Hash of light. A familiar voice told her, 'K You 've certainly earned your money. Mr. Trent stood before her, smiling. Virginia shuddered as she glanced about the room, which the sunlight stripped of all its horrors. Is it really over? It really is. Mr. Trent smiled. There wasn't anything to frighten you, THE PHILLIPIAN 19 anyhow. According to your auntls letter of directions, to me, Qthose wails were caused by a whistle, by the wayj this was to test your bravery. The rest of the family is downstairs. They have fulfilled the condi- tions O. K. and- I 'll bet Dad is talking a blue streak. They talked it over at breakfast, which was a sort of feast of triumph. 'A Well anyhow, it showis we Carringtons have some grit, ,Terry declared. You certainly have, agreed Mr. Trent. G. W., '33. PRESENT DAY SUPERSTITIONS NYONE would think that in our ad- vanced age there would be no cause for superstition. However, it is surprising to see how many of the old superstitions still cling. There is a belief that putting up an um- brella in a house means bad luck or death. I happen to know from experience that this belief still exists because I started to put up an umbrella in s0meone's house and I received quite a lecture on the subject with the result that I went out-of-doors to open my' umbrella. Where this belief originated I cannot say but there is a rumor that a lady put up an umbrella in a house once and a little girl got the point of it stuck in her eye and she died. This is probably the origin of the belief. Some people believe that it is an evil omen to have a bird follow a person around for two or three days or to have a dog howl for a long time. Salt spilling is a sign of quarreling and people believe that some of this salt thrown over the left shoulder will ward off the evil. There are several superstitions concern- ing lo-oking at the new moon or having -your ears burn but I could never remem- ber which ear or shoulder meant good luck and which bad so I don't believe in those two superstition-s. Some believe that having three lamps lighted in a row means bad luck. Also there is a superstition about ligh-ting three cigars or cigarettes with one match. Prob- ably the person having the third one got burned and that started the belief. Breaking a mirror is a sure sign of bad luck for seven years. Perhaps someone got badly injured by the br-oken glass from a mirror and people were afraid of break- ing mirrors after that. Walking under a ladder is a sure sign of bad luck or death. I have been told that when the palm of my hand iitched I should put my hand in my pocket and I would have a lot of money. Another get rich quick scheme is to say 'I Money, money, money as fast as you can when you see a shooting or falling star and if you succeed in saying it three times before the star disappears you wil-l sometime be rich, but it probably would be sometime. Dropping a dlishcloth or dishwiper on the floor is a sign of company. If a knife or pair of shears stick upright in the floor when accidently dropped, that is also a sign of company. Yet a third sign of company is to have a cat wash its face during the day or any time not directly after meals. In the olden times people always put on their best and made a great time when company came so when the cat cleaned up they 'thought the cat could tell that company was coming and got ready for it. If anyone starts on a journey and finds he has forgotten something and must go back after it, it tis bad luck if he does not sit down in a chair before setting forth a second time on his journey. Some time ago I was talking with a girl whom I had not seen for some time. She remarked that she had not been ill all win- ter and then she -rapped on wood. I did not at the time know why she did that but afterwards I learned that you should never brag unless you rap on wood 'so that your luck in that direction will not change. People do not believe in beginning any- 20 THE PHILLIPIAN thing on Friday because they are afraid they will not live to finish it. Thirteen is an unlucky number. In the same line three is a lucky number. A four leaf clover and a horseshoe are also signs of good luck. Stubbing your toe is a sign of disap- pointment. Stepping on a crack in the side- walk is a sign that you will marry a negro. Undoubtedly there are many more super- stitions and beliefs but these are among the more common ones. It is strange to think that people believe in these things but it is very true that most people do. All people will not have the same customs but everyone has his own pet superstitions. i L. M. K., '32. I TAKE MY COUNTRY COUSIN TO THE TALKIES U ELL, my mother exclaimed, look who's here. Wondering, I looked out of the window and standing on the front porch were Hiram, Mirandy and little Herbert, our cousins from the country. Mother hurried to the door to let them in. I heard their greetings and judging from their baggage they intended to stay for a month. Dinner was over at last, and of course my mother had to insist on my taking little Herbert to the talkies. Naturally I was very much pleased! I wouldn't have minded so much if I hadn't remembered a previous encounter with darling Herbert, when I took him to the movies, before they had talkies. Finally we set out. Herbert was dressed in a red checkered suit with a yellow tieg brown shoes and black stockings adorned 'his little feet, while a tan hat with an orange feather rested on hi-s red head. We reached our destination and after much pulling and urging I got him past the posters and inside the theater. Of course an usher was at the head of the aisle d-own which my little cousin decided to go. The usher went ahead to show us to our seats and all the way down the aisle Herbent kept saying, Gee, Betty, did you ever -see such funny pants on a penson before? Look at his hat. It 's a little red thing. Of course the usher heard him and acted real pleased, as you can imagine! At last we had our 'seats and sat down. I was relieved when the lights went off and Herbert stopped noticing everyone's clothes. As the -talkies began, Herbert shouted, Haw, haw, haw, what a funny looking man. Look at his fat stomach. Naturally everyone looked at us and I tried to quiet Herbert, You must keep still and stop shouting so.', To get his mind off the man with the big stomach, I pointed out a woman on the screen. Her- bert went off into gales of laughter about her. After three or four of such out- bursts, I felt a tap on my shoulder and looking around saw the same usher who had shown us to our seats. Herbert saw him too and screamed, Hot dog, here 's that funny looking gink in the red pan-ts. Say, fellar, why don't you go up on the stage, too?', The usher politely told me that the people were complaining and we would have to leave the theater, as my efforts to k-eep my cousin still were useless. So I led Herbert up the aisle with him screaming, I didn't want to see your old show any- way. It was just punk. I'll never come into your old picture house again as long as I live. Wi-th this parting shot we left the theater. B. B., '34. THE THIRD BURGLAR XCLAMATIONS and grunts sounded as two bodies met in a not too gentle collision. Each immediately clinched with the other and began twisting and turning in an effort to get an advantage on his THE PHILLIPIAN 21 opponent when, suddenly, came the flash of electric lights turned on by an unseen hand. Blinking in the sudden light they scanned one another hastily. One was a man of about forty, the other perhaps a few years under thirty. The older with the more evil-looking face was rather shabbily dressed. The younger, slightly foreign looking with a face not so wicked looking, but which held the promise of growing harder with the year-s, was somewhat bet- ter dressed. f'What's the idea o' breakin' into my cottage? 'I growled the younger man with a slight brogue. Your cottage! I-Iow'd yuh get that way? This here house is mine and I'm warnin' yuh to get out and to get out quick, snarled the older man in a voice matching his evil face. H I 'm here to wsay that this is my house and I'm giving yuh five minutes to get out, warned the other. Yeah! All right, where 's the proof it's yours? angrily inquired the older fellow. 'K I don't need to give yuh any proof but here 's why I'm here. I hit it back to get my solid silver cigarette case. I left it here last summer and I was afraid isome- one might break in and get itf' Yuh don'1t say, sneered the other. Well I came back to get my wife's pic- ture. Guess you don't need any proofs, quietly spoke ta voice from the doorway, hseeing as I ,ni the owner. The two, who a minute ago had been arguing, instantly sprang together, swiftly drawing their guns. H You don't need those, said the man in the doorway. Lift 'em up and stand where yuh are, commanded the younger man. You the one who turned on the lights?,' You 're the ones who had better stand where you are, calmly spoke the man without answering the question. Mighty brave, ainlt yuh? sneered the younger man. Not so brave but I have a few friends with me. As he spoke two policemen en- tered. In a moment they had the two cowering burglars handcuffed and were prodding them along toward the door. You 're a fine crook, you are, never usin' your brain to wonder who turned on the man laughed lights, and the younger leeringly at hits companion in misery. Didn't notice you using your powerful wits a great deal. With this the door shut behind them. Now,,' said the man K' guess I,ll see what this house holds good enough for lootf, Policemen sure are dumb. V. H., '33. left behind, C5 -ff X. Q- Q 3 22 THE PHILLIPIAN w 1. . ,Q ' i K, 1 K , Wg QW .. tr + OVEMBER 10 was the date of our first consequential assembly pro- gram. Exercises, in charge of the World History class, suitable to Armistice day were carried out. The particular aim of the program was to show what part people of Phillips played in the World War. It was most instructive and helped us more fully to appreciate the activities of our townspeople during that distressing time. November 25, a Thanksgiving program was presented. Readings appropriate to the occasion, interspersed with vocal and instrumental music, were rendered by vari- ous students. December 18, the afternoon was devoted to Christmas activities. The Grammar School furnished a fine and varied pro- gram, which was followed by a Christmas tree and Santa Claus. The teachers, as hosts and hostes-ses, served Eskimo pies. February 22, a short program in observ- ance of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington was de- livered. April 15, Mis-s Cousins had charge of an interesting program. Betty Butler, Mon- tress Wing, Wendell Whitney and Henry Richardson presented an amusing short play, 'KCourting in Grandma's Day . There were also two readings and several musical selections. April 25, Mrs. Costello, a former resi- dent of Phillips, gave a fine talk on her recent visit to the Holy Land, telling of the customs, modes of travel, and standards of living in and around the Holy Land, as well as some of her unusual adventures. She passed around enlarged snapshots, taken by Mr. Costello, which depicted the scenes and objects that she described. Miss Harnden and Miss Cousins, real- izing the great need of our town for a gym- nasium, arranged an affair for both the afternoon and evening of March 9, the pro- ceeds from which have been put aside as a beginning for a fund for a basketball hall. The amount realized was by no means insignificant. In the afternoon there was 'a fair at the school house, where candy, ice cream, hot- dogs, and the like were sold, fortunes told, and 'a fish pond enjoyed. An interesting program consisting of music by the primary orchestra, the ninth grade prize speaking, and a French play, presented by the French IH class, was put on. In the evening the program, involving all the schools, was devoted in part to patriotic exercises pentaining to Washing- ton, witth other entertaining presentations consisting of the operetta, In the Land of Dolls, and musical numbers, not the least of which was Sol Hicks and his Beanville Choir. The whole program was finely executed. This was certainly a big undertaking on the part of the two teachers, and we want them to know that we appreciate their kindness. If such a spirit of endeavor and winged P was chosen, for basketball, a April 19. The Senior dances, if somewhat blue I' with white border. and for baseball, less successful from a monetary view, were 21 white letter with blue border. A star is considered satisfactory in their returns. l it - THE PHILLIPIAN 25 GIRLS' ATHLETICS REVTOUSLY girls' athletics has received very little response until this year. Two years ago volley-ball was at- tempted but with little success. A year ago we participated in a dual track meet with Strong and later went to the county meet where We won two points. Those winning these ipoints and thereby Winning their track letters were Leola Kempton and Dorothy Toothaker. Last fall we were represented a- the North Franklin County Track Meet held at Kingfield but we were unsuccessful in placing in any event. Under the efficient leadership and coach- ing of Mrs. Albert Scamman a basketball team was organized last fall. On account of lack of practice our success was very limited but we have the material for a win- ning team. The first game was played at Rangeley, the latter team winning. Later in a return game our team made a much better showing and we feel that coopera- tion Will produce a winning 'team for us. This spring baseball is taking the place of volley-ball. Neighboring schools are organizing teams and a .schedule has al- ready been arranged. We are planning to organize a team here if enough of the girls are interested. We have material to pro- duce county champions in all girls' ath- 'L'. Q x fir' letics but there is a prevailing reluctance to participate. Today more than ever ath- letics is being stressed. Physical exercise is realized to be as important as mental exercise and development. Our baseball schedule calls for games with Strong, Kingfield, Rangeley, or in other words our schedule is the same as that for boys' baseball. We feel very grateful and appreciative to Mrs. Scamman for her efforts in our be- half and hope we may be so fortunate as to secure her aid again next year. TRACK - FALL, 1931 E were very successful this year in getting men to come out for track. Although we had lost our iron man, Everett Lindy Harnden, and another sure point getter, Norman Field, we had high hopes of winning again this year because other schools had lost important men also. As a means of preparation for the big meet, which was to be held at Kingfield, we had an intercxlass meet which the Sophomores easily won with a score of '72 points. The Juniors came next with 402 points, the Seniors next with 37 points, and the Freshmen pulling up last with a score of 182 points. The Franklin Journal summarized the meet at Kingfield as follows: The North 5 THE PHILLIPIAN Q5 E GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM ,ffhz:wwMQ1WX,mMw.,wwwMWm.4.wM,, .L W fw,4,,,Np+u4wwmmM,W 0 THE TRACK TEAM THE PHILLIPIAN 27 Franklin County Track Meet was held at Kinglield on Oct. 10.

THE VVAY THEY KISS IN MAINE THE Farmington girl bows her stately head, And fixes her stylish lips In a firm, hard way, and lets them go In spasmodic little snips. The Weld girl removeth her specks, And freezeth her face with a smile, And she sticks out her lips like an open book, And cheweth her gum meanwhile. The Kinglield girl says never a word, And you 'd think she was rather tame, With her practical view of the matter in hand, But she gets there just the same. The Rangeley girl, the pride of the world, In her clinging and soulful Way, Absorbs it all in a yearnful yearn, As big as a bale of hay. The Wilton girl gets a grip on herself, As she carefully takes off her hat, Then she grabs up the prize in a frenzied way, Like a terrier shaking a rat. The Strong girl, so gentle and sweet, Lets her lips meet the coming kiss With a rapturous warmth, and the youthful soul Floats away on a sea of bliss. We have sung you a song of the girls who kiss, And it sets one's brain in a whirl, But to reach the height of earthly bliss You must kiss a PHILLIPS girl. With your arms 'round her waist, her face up- turned, In a sweetly confiding way, You care not a cent for the whole wide world, Though the winds through your whiskers play. And closer together your lips you draw, Till they meet in a rapturous glow, And the small boy hidden behind the fence Cries, Gallagher, let her go!
