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,
