Without their aid many things which we now have in high school would be impossible, includ- ing this issue of the PHILLIPIAN. l wonder if we realize how very im- polite we are at times, to each other and to our elders. And I wonder if we realize the impression we make on others when we are rude. l don't helieve we do, for surely if we did we would mend our ways in a hurry. l heard a pupil say abruptly to a teacher li0t long ago, A' Here, take this rank card 4 THE PHILLIPIAN and fill it out and pass it back to me. How much better a please would have sounded. We're told that there's a psychological rea- son for this prevailing rudeness. We're told that young people, finding that their elders have failed them, finding that there is no place for them in the world of their elders, have rebelled against the customs established by those elders. To my mind that is a crawl-off. I think our elders have failed us, but not in the way we think. They've failed to demand courtesy and politeness from us at all times. HERE are many of the pupils in Phillips High School who do not use the public library as much as they should. Perhaps they just do not like to read. It is too bad that more of the pupils do not take advantage of this well equipped library and read some of the late books which are there. FEW weeks ago I visited the Hobby Show, sponsored by the Social Union, and among the other very interesting things there I found the first PHILLIPIAN ever printed by the students of Phillips High School. This paper was published in 1896. As I turned the pages my eyes chanced to fall upon this line, oh, for a gym! It seemed rather wonderful to me to know that forty- four years ago the students and people of Phillips had in mind the building now being finished on Depot Street. As near as I can find out, during all these years the people have been trying to find a way to have a good gym here, and at last, thanks to the American Legion and the cooperation of the other people of Phillips, that thought is being ful- filled. We have, nearing its completion one of the best gyms in Franklin County. This seems to prove the old adage, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. as imp: X SEYEEEEE3' LE X r THE PHILLIP SENIOR DEPARTMENT ROBERT BADGER Bob 2 Salutatoryg Baseball Q31 Q41g Basketball Q11 Q21 Q31 Q-415 Football Q41g Band Q21 Q31 Q41g Speaking Q11 Q21 Q31 Q-115 Flnals Q31 Q41g Winner Q41g President Student Council Q41g Member Q31g Drama Q11 Q21 Q31 Q-115 Editor in Chief of PHILLIPIAN Q41.

In the distance you can hear singing. Let's bring the microphone closer. It's the freshman marching song sung in the mighty base voice of Bill Mills. Listen! We are the jolly freshmen Fifteen of us, green and shy, And though we may not look the part We never tell a lie. We march to classes daily With trembling fear and tread, And make the teachers wonder lf there's anything in our heads. Some of ns are here to learn Some simply come to play But there will come a reckoning On our graduation day. Wouldn't it be a blessing If we could look ahead And know what we're learning now Makes bricks for our house or shed? The woman's voice you heard was Louise Moores. She argues every day with Bill for the privilege of singing this song. FLASH! A strange malady has attacked five members of the freshman class. An unusual lack of interest in surroundings was suddenly noted in Nelda, Phyllis, Verna, Mertie, and Sybil. There was a vacant, dreamy look in their eyes. The county doc- tor was hastily summoned. After a thorough examination of the victims he announced that they had been bitten by the love bug and would probably not recover for some time. Flash! Phyllis, Nelda, Bob, and Everett have been on the honor roll all this year. Phyllis, Nelda, Bob, and Nathalie spoke in the preliminaries. Phyllis won the cup at Stratton. Phyllis, Bob, Nelda, Virgil, Sybil, and Earl took part in dramatics. Earl, Tommy, Geraldine, and Myr Lyn took part in sports. Station F-r-e-s-h-i-e signing off.

The committee in charge served a fine chicken supper. After a short program, dancing was enjoyed by all. Everyone present reported that this was the most successful gathering ever held by the Alumni. At the May meeting plans were started for another big Dec. gathering. It may be in our new hall, but wherever it is, we hope that everyone who can will be present.

GOVERNOR BARROWS SPEAKS AT PHILLIPS IL's'r before the local drive to raise funds for the new building the American Legion staged a big mass meeting. The combined hands of Phillips and Strong furnished music. duced different groups in Phillips. Each speaker assured the Legion that all were behind the Lew Noble as chairman, then intro- ten local speakers, each representing movement IUOQQ. Doctor Harry Edwards, State Director of Physical Education, was the next speaker in- troduced. Doctor Edwards gave some very interesting facts on physical education in Maine today. Mr. Noble then introduced the guest speaker of the evening, Governor Lewis O. Barrows. Governor Barrows gave 16 THE PHILLIPIAN a line speech and assured us of his interest in the movement. This meeting certainly accomplished its purpose, every one left the church feeling that the project would be a success. SPEAKING Tms year our preliminary speaking con- test was held March l. Due to the fact that so many boys and girls were out for basket- ball at this time, only a few volunteered to speak. From our viewpoint we feel that this contest should be held at some other time of the year. One change was made that we feel met with the approval of nearly every one. This change was in regard to the selections. The boys were required to give orations and the girls humorous readings, and no student could give a selection that had been given in the last two contests. At the preliminary contest the judges se- lected Robert Badger and Phyllis Knapp as our representatives in the finals. Robert McKeen and Nelda Thompson were chosen as the alternates. On March 12, the finals were held at Stratton. This was the first North Franklin Contest ever held in Stratton. For the first time in several years our speakers placed first in each division. Congratulations Bob, and Phyllisg we wish you both the best of luck in your later contests. UNIVERSITY or MAINE CONTEST The annual U. of M. contest was held April 26, at which Nedra represented P. H. S. in the dramatic division. THE SPEAR CoN'rEs'r April 27, Phyllis entered the Spear Con- test, held at Chase Hall, Bates College. MONTGOMERY CONTEST May 3, Robert represented our school in the Montgomery Contest held at Colby. Although our speakers failed to place in these contests, they ranked high in their several groups. At this time we wish to thank our coaches who helped to make our speaking contests a success. THE SPELLING CONTEST THE four classes were divided into two groups, from which twelve students were selected to compete in the preliminaries. The preliminaries were held at the Methodist Church, and the following were chosen for the finals: FRESHMAN AND SoPHoMonE Robert McKeen lean Boothby Maxine Bennett Marilyn Ross JUNIOR AND SENIOR Eleanor Kempton Iean Edwards Marian Beal Doris Walsh The finals were held at the Congregational Church. Robert and Maxine out-spelled all others in their group, Robert finally winning. Eleanor won the other division, to make it a perfect evening for our school. BAND OUR band has been very active during the school year. It now numbers about thirty. On many occasions Mr. Ghen has combined the Phillips and Strong bands. This com- bined band furnished the music for the Franklin County Teachers Convention, later in the year played for the radio broadcast, and only recently gave a concert at King- field. Mr. Ghen is in Phillips every Monday. He has individual instruction for the first four periods and has the whole band to- gether for the last period. He has a class for beginners after school. Several of the older students are members of the Community band. The headquarters for this band is at Skowhegan, and is com- posed of students from the several different bands which Mr. Ghen directs. These stu- dents meet in Skowhegan once each week. It was hoped that the Phillips and Strong bands could accept the invitation to play at the World's Fair in Iune, but it was im- 'l'llli l'llIl,I.ll'l,XN 17 BANU Front Row-VV. Hinds. M. Gould, bl.

His class was small at first, but he now has twenty. He is in Phillips two days each week. Another tall he plans to organize an orchestra. More than one-half of our students are now taking lessons on some musical instru- ment. We hope another year that even a larger number will select some instrument and take advantage of the excellent oppor- tunity now offered. lf1HJ'!'I3,XlAl. llwm liwxx li.

Q x c xv' x FQQTBALL lfr,4sT Trgftxr Secunia TEAM AST fall we started six-man football. The most of us had kicked the football around a little each fall, but we knew very little about the game. Coach Kittredge had to start from the be- ginning, teaching us the fundamentals. Twelve boys answered the first call for prac- tice. Our first game was with Strong. ln the First half our team outplayed the Strong boys in every department of the game, and we led 20-6. But in the second half Coach Higgins' team came back and played a very different game. When the final whistle sounded we were leading only Z6-25. Our next game was with Dixfield. a team that had been playing for two years. Dix- Field certainly showed us how the game should be played, and although we lost by a large score we all felt that we had learned a lot of football that afternoon. We played Rangeley and a return game with Dixheld, showing improvement in each game. Our last game was with Strong. From the opening whistle there was no ques- tion about the outcome. The boys showed good team work and looked like real foot- ball men. Although Mr. Kittredge will lose heavily by graduation, we feel confident that he will have a good team another year. Badger R, la.

XVC hope that this will be the last year that we will have to play the most of our games away from home. For the past few years. whenever any team has suggested they would rather not play in our hall. We have agreed to play both games in their own hall. Rangcley was the only team to beat us both games. They had a lane team, winning the North Franklin League and then going on to win the Farmington Tournament. VVe played both of our games with King- licld at Kingfield. The first was a great game lor the spectators. The score was close all the way, our team finally winning out Z0-lfl. The second game was played after 20 THE PH the tournament, and the boys were anxious to make up for that game they lost at Farmington. Burnham, Stinchfield, Badger, Russell, and Blanchard were playing their last league game for P. H. S., and what a game they played. The final score, 24-ll just about tells the story. At the tournament, after losing to King- field, the boys came back Saturday morning to win from Stratton, and played Farming- ton for the consolation trophy in the even- ing. This proved to be one of the best games of the tournament. Both teams, having lost in the first round, were fighting for one more victory. Farmington was ahead at the half, but in the first two minutes of the third quarter our boys made nine points and finally won by a small margin. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Kittredge coached the team, and to them should go much of the credit for our successful season. Newt Toothaker will be our only regular back an- other year. Summary of games: ff ILLIPIAN Last year under Coach Higgins we had a very successful season. The only two games we lost were with Farmington, the First a 5-4 decision early in the season and later a ten inning battle on our own diamond.

The season is very late and it is doubtful if we are able to play on our diamond before the tenth of May. The fol- lowing men are out for the team: Russell, Stinchfield, Burnham, H. White, I. White, A. Blanchard, C. Blanchard, Toothaker, Dennison, Badger, C. Smith, K. Smith, Mor- gan, Eustis, Lovett, Parker and Thompson. Russell, who always keeps the team on its toes, will do the most of the catching with Burnham and Stinchfield alternating in the box. Summary of games to be played: April 27 -- Phillips at Stratton.

TRACK IN the state meet of 1959 Phillips l-ligh's track ICZIIU came out not far from the top, with 24 points. When all was over, Maurice Toothaker had taken a First in the mile and a second in the halfq Bill Burnham had taken a first in the shot putg Malcolm Tooth- 22 THE PH aker a second in the mile, a second in the javelin, third in the discus, and Art Blanchard a second in the broad jump. We still watch with interest the running activities of Monty and Macky Toothaker. In the Patriots' Day Marathon at Portland this year, Monty, after a winter of hard work and no training, finished fourth amid keen competition. We expect to hear more from these speedy twins before their track careers are forgotten. Our own track season is getting off to a late start this year. King Winter has been reluctant to leave the park and baseball gives us a lot of competition. A triangular meet with Wilton and Mexico scheduled for May ll had to be postponed because of a very muddy track. If all goes well we shall meet our first test on May 25 in a quadrangular meet with Wilton, Farmington, and Mexico. Then, if our performance warrants it, we intend to enter our proven stars in the state meet at Portland, on Iune 1. In the dashes this year we are expecting to see some speed from the Blanchard broth- ers and Bill Burnham. In the middle dis- tances and distances we are placing our hopes in George Wood, Harvey Lovett, Lester Cof- fren, and Earl Eustis. Burnham and Stinch- field should be sure point winners in the field events. Broad jumpers include Art Blanch- ard, Bill Burnham, Blynn Ross, and George ILLIPIAN Wood, and high jumpers, Ross, Burnham, Wood, Lovett, and Bunny Blanchard. Pole vault possibilities are Don Dennison, Blynn Ross, and Bunny Blanchard. Bill Burnham claims to be a qualified timber topper, and we shall soon find out. P. M. Kittredge. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Tms year there were fourteen girls who responded to the call to practice. Our first game was with New Sharon. We got beaten pretty badly, 39-9. After that we got back in our old positions and for a short time did much better. We wish to thank our coach, Miss Morrell, for her help.

LITERARY j llff llllllllll llll ll I ll THE FATE OF TOMMY IONES OMMY IONES, a poor boy, lived in the big tenement house on Morse Street. His mother was dead and his father earned a bare living for his eight children by work- ing in one of the large sulphur mills of the town. Mary, who was fifteen, cared for her seven brothers and sisters, the eldest of them being Tommy, who was nine years old, but for all they were poor they lived happily in the three rooms of which their apartment con- sisted. This, however, could not have been accomplished without Mary. She made most of the children,s clothes from remnants which she purchased at a low price from a near-by store. She watched the sales of the food stores and bought food on sale prices and cared for the children as well as any mother could, considering the few things she had to do with. Although the Iones family was poor, they very seldom had to run up bills, as they spent their money wisely and saved all that was possible. But one day Mr. Iones was hurt at the mill where he worked, and be- cause of this he was unable to work for several weeks. Fortunately the company gave Mr. Iones accident insurance and be- cause of this Mary, who was indeed saving, managed to keep within the father's means with the exception of one thing. She had run up a grocery bill of ten dollars. VVhen the other children found out the bill could not be paid without extra help they determined at once to help earn the money. They saved all their pennies and did odd jobs, so in two weeks they had sufhcient money to pay the bill. The change was exchanged for a ten dollar bill and this was put into an envelope. Tommy was chosen as messenger boy and so he started out for Hardy's Store to pay the bill. On the way to the store Tommy had to pass his friend's house, the rich, young Spaulding boy. The boy lived in what might be con- sidered a mansion, on Elm Street but the part Tommy liked best was the beautiful flower garden, so instead of going straight to the store and back as he was told, Tommy lingered to look at the garden. As he was still gazing in wonder he heard a cheery voice say, I-Iello there Tommy! How are you? H Tommy was surprised to find his old friend, Ioe Spaulding, coming down the steps to greet him. Hello, Ioe! I thought you went to Boston with your father yesterdayf' No, we were unable to go, because dad had to go to Kingsborough on business,- Would you like to have a bouquet of flowers? I certainly would appreciate them, but you had better keep them for yourselff' Oh, no. I have many more. I'll get the Hower shears. Ioe hurried into the house and in a few minutes returned with the shears. He cut Tommy a beautiful bouquet of flowers and after many thanks he hurried on, only this time he hurried faster because M THE PH he was anxious for his brothers and sisters to see the flowers, especially Mary. When Tommy at last reached Hardy's Store he entered the side door and after a few minutes the clerk was surprised to see him crying and after a while, through tears, Tommy managed to tell them his sad story. He had lost the ten dollar bill. As poor broken hearted Tommy was start- ing home, whom should he meet but Ioe again, Ioe, too, was surprised when he noticed his little friend was crying when he had been happy such a short time before. When Ioe found the fate of his friend he offered his services to help in finding the money. The two pals joined hands and retraced their steps many times, but it was in vain for no trace of the money was seen. They asked people they knew if they had seen anything of the money but all answers proved to be K' No. Upon leaving Ioe, Tommy started toward the dark tenement house. As he entered the door, Mary suspected something had happened at once. Tommy dear, you look so sad. Surely nothing is wrong? 'l Tommy once more burst into tears and answered, I hate to say it, Mary, but I lost the ten dollar billf' Mary, however, who was always kind and brave, did not scold him but carried on her work in a discouraged way. When Tommy's father returned home, as he was once well again, the sad news was broken to him, and at six o'clock when the family sat down to supper, it was a sad looking family. The next morning during their early breakfast, the telephone rang, and when Mr. Iones answered it he found it was Ioe. Hello-yes this is Mr. Iones-You would like to speak with Tommy?- Indeed Tommy was wanted on the phone and after he had talked a minute or two, his face began to beam with great joy, be- cause Ioe, after a long search, for the bene- fit of his best friend, had found the money in his tulip bed. ILLIPIAN Without finishing his breakfast, Tommy slipped on his coat and ran as rapidly as possible to Ioe's house. After ten minutes of thank you's Tommy returned home. The rest of the breakfast period was spent in happiness and compliments for Ioef Once again Tommy and his family were happy! N. C. T. IT'S A DOG LIFE H AVE you heard the latest, Dick? asked little David Anderson. That swanky Mrs. Rickenbacker next door, has a new French Poodle, which I have heard her tell Mother was be-e-eautiful but I don't see it. His head is just matted with hair and looks just like Mother's dust mop, the hair on his back is sheared right off and so is it on his tail till you get to the end and then it's so heavy with curls that it almost drags. And only yesterday I heard her say she paid one thousand dollars for the old thing! Now if it was Tige, my airedale, she'd paid a thousand for, that would be something, but a thousand bucks for that old dry mop, why thatls-Ieepers, what's that noise? Come on fella! Scarcely had he uttered the words when he heard a shriek, very feminine, and Mrs. Rickenbacker screaming, Oh you vile cur, leave my doggie alone! Oh, policeman my darling, be-e-eautiful Alphonse is being chewed up by that-that common mongrel. Oh, save him, save my darling Alphonse! Sure, and I'll save him: that is what's left, for you but I would hardly call him a dog! Faith, and what a good job the aire- dale did! Do you own him, me son? he asked David as he and Dick came tearing into the yard. Yes-yes-I-do-and he's afgood dog too! Please don't take him away just because he tore up that dust mop! No, me son, chuckled the Irish police- man, I'm proud, that's what I am, proud to see a real dog chew up this article the lady calls a dog. Well lady, said the police- man turning to the lady, if you take good care of this article maybe in two weeks or so THE PHILLIPIAN 25 he'll heal up! Perhaps after this I'd keep him under cover so he wouldn't get chewed u l Il' There Dickf' said David proudly, as they walked from the indignant woman's yard, Tige following, didn't I tell you she'd have got some'un if she'd paid a thousand dollars for a dog like Tigel 'I P. K. THE HIGH SCHOOL GHOST NGLISH class was in progress. Quiet reigned except for an occasional ques- tion on the part of the teacher and an an- swer in a monotone by a pupil. Suddenly from the room upstairs came a sound - bump! bump! - gradually increas- ing in volume until the noise was almost deafening. Iamesf' said the teacher, Please go up and find out what is the trouble. Iames no sooner reached the upper story than the noise ceased. No explanation could be found. As soon as he returned to the English room it began again. What could it be? There wasn't supposed to be anyone up there. Finally the teacher, brave soul, took her courage in both hands and ventured up. Iames,', she asked, When did the noise stop? lust as soon as I opened the door, was his reply. 'fVVell then, we won't open the door, and with that she applied her eye to the keyhole. Good gravy! she shouted, forgetting her dignity. Lookitl They all took a peek and were equally amazed. For chairs, tables, and desk were dancing round and round-and no one was in th? room. She opened the door. Everything was quiet again. Iohnny stepped inside and immediately fell.flatter than a pancake. Who tripped me? Iohnny was ready to Fight. Boysl said teacher, but not so sternly as usual. Say,', said lack, Look at that wire. And sure enough wires led to every article of furniture in the room. When the door was opened the current was cut off. Thus was the mystery solved. Nothing but a practical joke after all. E. K. AND THE PEARLS WERE SAFE S lim Iones entered the deserted house on Waldo Street he heard footsteps. Quietly he stole along in the direction of the sound. In the dim light he could see the other man with a string of pearls in his hand. I-Ie sha'n't have them if I can help itf' said Iim to himself. I want them myself. He felt his way slowly along the wall until his hand encountered a light switch. Suddenly the room was flooded with bright light. All right, lim cried, Put up your hands. Iim pointed his gun at the other manls heart. Now take it easy,', said the other man. You're a new one aren't you? Well, what of it? answered Iim, play- ing his part well. Nothing, only the sergeant sent me down to keep you company. Said he hated to send a new man alone on a job like that. Name's Iack Regan. When I didn't find you when I first came in I didn't know but what something had happened so I looked to see if the pearls had been stolen. In that case, all right, lim replied and put up his gun. He was no murderer and wouldn't shoot a policeman to get the pearls. The same thing was running in Regan's mind. We may as well make ourselves com- fortable until'morning, said Iim. I'll take the Hrst watchnandgyou can get some sleep. I'll call you in a couplehof hours. His plan was simple. He'd srieak 'out with the pearls while the other slept. X I don't feel so sleepy, returned lack. You'd better take the first watch. on the police force, an xi U a .2 . . , A Q ,fag - w TIA f ,: 1, If 1, f af aj .i 'L 3. la' , - in U : ., U 'f',C Q zz - ,: U 5 5 LJ C 9 U-LZ' N Ai rr K L1 ff ff m 73 -:s V ' : O 35 Pa 5 U an L4 2.

The two men played cards until morning. Suddenly lack looked out the window and saw two men coming up the walk. Here comes our relief, he said, rising quickly. Time for me to go home. Me too, said Iim, going out the back door with him. I live down this way. Which way are you going? lust the opposite, replied Iack. And thus the two men parted, angry be- cause of their failure to get the pearls, but each proud of his ability to put it over on the cop, R. O. B. DOES PHILLIPS NEED A NEW ATHLETIC BUILDING? Dm Phillips have a basketball team thirty years ago? You ask any of the older citizens this question and you will get a very vivid account of some of the line teams represent- ing the school at that time. Did Phillips have a basketball team twenty years ago? To this question you will get game was no longer the answer that the played, there was no hall. Twelve years ago Mr. Curtis organized a boy scout troop. The boys met in the upper part of the community house. During the winter months the boys naturally turned to basketball. These boys were in the eighth grade. The following year a high school team was formed, and for four years these boys played together. In 1932-1933 they won the North Franklin League, and in 1933 went on to win the Farmington Tourna- ment. Since that time Phillips has been well represented on the basketball court each year. The record this year has been sixteen vic- tories out of twenty-one games played. During these years the teams have played nearly all of the games away from home. Whenever any team has suggested that they would rather not play in Phillips, arrange- ments have been made to play both games in that town. Such a plan has been hardly fair to the citizens of Phillips, and has re- sulted in an annual deficit for the school. ALUMNI HALL LEADING citizens have been for years try- ing to End some way to get a better place in which to play basketball, but up to last September every plan suggested failed to materialize. Then a definite step was taken. The American Legion purchased the railroad property. The next move was to raise money to re- model one part of the building. The Legion opened the local drive with a big mass meeting, an account of which may be found in another section of this issue. With the aid of the Alumni Association letters were prepared and sent to all graduates and former citizens. Five thousand dollars was the goal. At this writing two thousand has been received in cash, and six hundred pledged. The plan is to remodel the old carpenter shop, work started on the building April 15. The front wall has been extended sixteen feet. This will give a building 42 x 90 feet. There will be a stage in one end of the hall, in the other end there will be a lobby and cloak room. The blacksmith shop will be made into dressing rooms. The flat roof has been removed and replaced with a pitch roof which gives a hall eighteen feet in height. At first the plan was to continue work on the building as long as the money lasted. But at the last meeting of the directors it was voted to complete the building. It is hoped that suliicient money will be contributed in the next two or three weeks to meet the required amount. Have you seen this building in progress? If not, you are going to be both pleased and surprised when you see it for the first time. You certainly are going to feel mighty proud in having helped to make it possible. The date for the dedication will be decided soon. The committee in charge are making great plans. And as folks gathered years ago to celebrate the coming of the rails, we will gather, on nearly the same spot, to celebrate our new Community Center. 28 T H E -QIQC: l Z!!! kk K k SENIORS R.
