THE PHILLIPIAN 27 I'm not sleepy either. We may as well play a game of cards if you want to. As lim said this he drew an old pack of cards from his pocket. 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.

T H E Montford - Ever touch it? Robert - No. Montford - Ever taste it? R. - No. M. - Did you ever smell it? R. - No, of course not! M. - Well, then you don't believe you have any-and I don't either. Miss Page-I'm giving you zero in your English exams. Virgil S.-Oh, that means nothing in my young life. Mr. Kittredge was giving some final in- structions in football last fall. Suddenly he turned to Curt, a sub that hadn't seen action all season and said, Curt, what would you do if we were on their ten-yard line and they intercepted our pass? Curt pondered a while and finally said, In that case I would probably move further up the bench to see better. Smoking a cigarette Everett R. advanced to the bus driver and demanded a half-fare ticket to Rangeley. L' What, cried the driver, a kid like you smoking a cigarette? 'I 'K Kid be blowed, was the indignant re- ply, I'm sixteen! Full fare pleasef' As two Cushman H trucks followed along behind a tar wagon one morning, they passed many Sanders along the way. They also passed two Walkers H going to- wards the Mills. To save hitting the pea ple they both turned out: one truck hit a stick of Wood, while the other hit two White chickens taking the Wing U off one. The first house they stopped at they found an important Voter of the town lying on a Davenport complaining with a Tooth- akefrjf' He was suffering so much he was sure he was going to Dyefrj.', His wife was sputtering at him because he had Burnftjham as he forgot to watch it while she was Dustin. They decided that nothing was needed, so they passed on through the Gates, and so let us turn the Page and pass on too. PHILLIPIAN 29 Prof: What is the symbol for water?

Bud Shultz: Did you say a sentence had to have a subject and predicate? Miss Page: Yes. Bud: I can give a sentence without a sub- ject and predicate. Miss Page: Let's hear it. ' Bud: Thirty days.
