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
