RUTI-IERFORD L. GHEN It was with sorrow that we learned of the sudden death of Mr. Ghen. For five years he had been with us, and the rapid progress and success of our band was due to his un- tiring efforts. He was an excellent instructor and had the respect and good will of every student. In this issue of THE PHILLIPIAN we wish to pay tribute to the memory of Mr. Ghen who organized our band and did so much for our school in the Held of music.

We have tried for several years to have a good student council in Phillips High School but there seems to be a lack of in- terest. When a meeting is called the mem- bers mourn because it means giving up fifteen or twenty minutes of their time. I wonder how they think such a thing can be successful without spending a little time on 1t. 4 THE PHILLIPIAN A student council can, and does in many schools, run the school. The council decides on the methods of carrying on outside ac- tivities such as sports, plays, public speaking, etc. It keeps the school's bills paid, in fact it handles all money. It metes out punish- ment to those who are disciplinary problems in school. Those few things give one an idea of part of the work of a really active student coun- cil, and explain why it is considered a very great honor in many schools to be a member. I think we should give serious considera- tion to the matter of a better council in P. H. S. iii- HY do the young people of the United States use so much slang? This is the question parents and other older people are asking each other. We young people may not realize it but the use of slang is growing every day. We now express ourselves more by, This is peachy, or ducky, than by a correct English sentence. It is just as easy to say, This is pleasant , or How nice this is as it is to use the slang phrases above. Too, it sounds much better and not crude and ill- bred as the slang. The citizens of our town, as in every small community, are interested in their young people. They like to see them refined young men and women, and nothing is more unrefined than Ieepers and Gee. However we are only human and a little slang used in the right place won't hurt us. Let's be careful, however, when, where, and how much we use these slang expressions. O Athletics play too important a part in our outside school activity pro- gram? We do not believe so. We know that a large per cent of our students enjoy athletics. But what about the students who do not care for these activities? For these students we have our band, or- chestra, spelling and debating contests, dra- matics, and speaking. Our band has played in the State contests at Waterville and Port- land the past two years. Have you ever attended one of these con- tests? It is the greatest school exhibition in the State. Have you ever attended the Spear, Montgomery, or Maine Speaking Con- test? Have you ever attended a debating contest at Bates? If you have ever seen our boys and girls in these contests you will cer- tainly realize why we say that our athletic program is not the most important by any means. We would like to see these other contests play even a more important part in our school. We would like to see a larger band and orchestra. We would like to see more students in our speaking and debating con- tests. Let us all strive to make 1941-42 a banner year for these other activities. VERY once in a while, a pupil will show up for class a few minutes late. Once in a great while, it may be necessary but most of the time it is because the pupil is too lazy to get ready and go to class with the others. He may think his pencil needs sharpening so he stops and sharpens it. Or he may decide he needs a different book, or his paper is in a different book, or he for- got his book and pencil altogether. What- ever it is, it's something trivial. Wben he Finally gets to class, he bothers the teacher and other members of the class by opening and closing the door, getting his assignment and opening his books. Some- how, he bothers everyone. Are you always punctual? Check up and Find outg try to improve yourself if you need improving. Remember how it annoys you when someone else is late and try to be punctual. It will help everybody.

The preliminary speaking was held March 14, with the following con- testants: Dolena Walker, Nelda Thompson, lean Thompson, Pauline Steward, Robert McKeen, and Laurel Thompson. Dolena Walker and Robert McKeen were chosen to represent us in the finals with Nelda Thomp- son and Laurel Thompson as alternates. There has been a slight change in the rules this year which we believe is a change for the better. Any type of selection is allowed now, whereas in previous years boys had to speak orations and girls humorous selections. The finals were held in the Memorial Building at Strong, March 20. Phillips won no cups but Robert McKeen took second prize for boys. Next year we are planning on a larger group to participate in this activity thereby increasing the possibility of winning cups. SPEAR CONTEST Dolena Walker entered the Spear Contest this year, which was held April 22 in the Mexico High School building. She was more than successful, being chosen to take part in the finals held that evening, and also being chosen as an alternate for the contest to be held in Augusta, May 2. At this time 'I should like to thank our coaches who helped us so much this year just as they do every year. DEBATING OR the first time in fifteen years we failed to have a team in the Bates De- bating League. There was so much sickness at the time when we should have been work- ing on the question we thought it best to drop this activity for the year. Next year the question is as follows: Resolved: That every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be re- quired to have one year of full-time military training before attaining the age of 21 years. Many times the question selected may seem too difficult and far reaching for the high school student. But here is a question that concerns the youth. It should prove to be one of the most interesting questions we have debated in recent years. We have already made plans for an early start next year and we hope to have a good number out for this important activity. THE SCHGGL BAND HIS year our band is rather small. Al- though vve have four beginners, we have only nineteen regular members. There should be more interest in a worthy project like this. In a school of this size we could easily have a band of Hfty pieces. The band members were very sorry to hear of Mr. Ghen's death in December, 1940, Ever since its organization in Ianuary, 1938, the band had been under his direction, until a very short time before his death. Of course all the band members miss Mr. Ghen but we all feel very fortunate to have Mr. Knowles of Wilton as our leader now. I'2 'lilllf l'Illl.l.ll'lAN lfront row: R.

Smith Under the able leadership ol' Mr. Knowles the band has accomplished a great deal, and l feel we should cooperate with him at all times. Un the l7th of May, Mr. Knowles plans to take the combined bands of Phillips and Strong to the Music lfestival in Portland. This is an excellent experience as all who made the trip to Waterville last year will agree. The Maine State Music Festival is one ol' the largest school activities in the state. Although our band may not come back with honors we feel that the trip will be helpful to us in many ways. At present we have -l clarinets, .5 saxof phones. 5 cornets. l snare drum, 1 bass drum, 3 trombones, l alto horn. and l baritone. The beginners not yet playing in the band will add l clarinet, l saxophone, and 2 trum- pets. Mr. Knowles would like especially some more clarinet players, and another bass. This year we lose 2 cornet players, l trom- bone, and l clarinet. These places should be lilled by new players. We are always glad to have new members in our band and we hope next year Finds us with a large band all ready to go to town. AERIAL ACES URGANIZED AST February a group of twelve boys under the direction of Mr. Sparks or- ganized a club for model builders at Phillips High. As most of the boys were interested in plane models. the name chosen was Aerial Aces At the organization meeting the following otlieers and committees were chosen: l'ri'.v1'de11l Robert Parker '42 l'i1'i'-l'1't'.vi:ii'l:I Ronald llaggan ' 44 .S'i't'wIu1'y-'l'1'i'u.v1rwr liveretl Walker '43 Membership Committee: Everett Walker, Truman Masterman, liarl Eustis. Harvey Lovett, George VVood. The purpose of the club is to offer to some of those not in the band an opportunity to express themselves in some other way. Most of the boys are truly interested in their THE PHILLIPIAN 13 models and have produced some fine work. The club has at least one meeting each week at which the individual members work upon their planes. Eight planes have already been completed and by vacation time we expect to have a real display in one of our local store windows. Each plane upon completion is given a rating by the boys in the club. When 50 points have been earned, that member be- comes an Ace and is given an emblem signi- fying his rank. The boys are already thinking of another year when they will have more time to de- velop their club. It is hoped that by that time the club will have enough flying models to hold an air meet somewhere in town. Some believe they have found a real hobby which they wish to continue. THREE ACT PLAY HE three act play Superstitious Sadie was presented by the members of the junior and senior classes early this spring. The play was not so successful from the money point of view as some of the others have been, but those brave enough to dig out on that below O weather certainly enjoyed it.

It was held at the park in Phillips and all the schools of and around Phillips attended besides those of Strong and King- Held. There was a varied program which pro- vided for the interests of all. The combined Phillips and Strong bands played and each school contributed its share of the program. To top all this there were several ball games. This affair was very well attended and we hope that it will be repeated next year. Freshman Initiation went off with a bang, this year. For a week before hand the soph- omores strolled around looking very Wise and casting pitying glances at the poor fresh- men. The freshmen were brave and so very green that I'm afraid they actually looked forward to the idea. However, the big night came and every- one had a very good time, including the freshmen. The sophomores put on one of the best and most ingenious programs we have had for a long time and now the fresh- men are looking forward to making their next year's one as good. PROGRAMS LTHOUGH we haven't had so very many assembly programs this year, what we have had have been very good and have disclosed talent which perhaps other- wise would have remained hidden. Each of the four classes put on a program at the beginning of the school year, which were varied in nature. The junior class put on the Christmas program. There have also been several quiz programs. The high school is especially grateful to Mr. Grant and Mr. Sparks for several fine programs. On Lincoln's b i r t h d a y, Mr. Sparks spoke on that great man and his own admiration for him. The students were very much interested and we hope that although Mr. Sparks is very busy he will find time to come in again. On Washington's Birthday, Mr. Grant helped us to commemorate that day with remarks on the man who held our country together during its First great crisis. We also observed Temperance Day this year in a novel but extremely effective man- ner. Mr. Grant brought a victrola to the main room and played several records which contained incidents pertaining to Tem- perance. Along with these he played recordings of parts of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs H which included some of the extra- ordinary sound effects. All in all, these programs were the most constructive and interesting of the year and we wish to tell Mr. Grant and Mr. Sparks how enjoyable they were and how much we are looking forward to more visits next year. SPELLING UR spelling matches were held in the early part of November, with the three schools, Phillips, Kingfield, and Strong com- peting. The Hnals were at Strong and two spellers from each class went to show their ability. They were Marion Beal, Lilla McLaughlin, seniors, Dorothy Mitchell, Maxine Bennett, juniors, Robert McKeen, Phyllis Knapp, sophomores, and Dolena Walker, lean Thompson, freshmen. The winner of the junior and senior group was Maxine Ben- nett, and of the freshman and sophomore group, lean Thompson. Perhaps some of you wonder what good these spelling matches really are and Why we have them. They help us in ever so many ways. For instance, they help us to get better ac- quainted with the derivation of words, their meanings, and pronunciations. In other words these matches enlarge the vocabulary of every person taking part. And what is more essential today than to be able to ex- press yourself and your ideas with correct words, or write letters correctly spelled. Let us continue to take an interest in these matches and keep up in the future the record set by us in past years. '23 4 .Q .+-a v .Z 'uh 4 Fav C5 fe .A 4-3 o LE THE PHILLIPIAN 17 T. THlff, 'ri c i lI',i' 4 'Q' I H I I - FOOTBALL I-IEN school opened last fall it found a group of anxious boys waiting for their chance at the old pigskin. Before the season had gone far it was plain to be seen that the squad had suHered heavily by the graduation of the class of 1940. With but two first string men returning to the grid- iron the boys began to develop an entirely new combination of players. The season's opener was played at Strong and a real thriller it was. Both teams played very good ball considering the extent of their experience and practice. lt was anyoneis game till the final gun, Strong edging us out by one point. Before the season had progressed very far a number of injuries came to disrupt our team and seemed to haunt us throughout most of the season. Spin Morgan, a very promising backfieldman, suffered a broken arm during one of the early practices and was out for the remainder of the season. Bunny Blanchard and Morton Burnham were two others whose loss was felt heavily for some time. The boys had a tough season but now have the experience to net them a good squad for the coming year. The team should not suffer too heavily this year because of grad- uation it loses only one mang but it should gain considerable from the entering fresh- man class. Looking to the future, we expect to find a good squad on the field in answer to the call next fall. We have a stiff schedule fae- ing us and also a very anxious group of boys ready to meet it.

Mitchell. The old gymnasium in the Community House served for the practice sessions until after Christmas when we were able to use our new gym in the Community Center. Then the hoys really felt they had some- thing to work for, and after a few weeks practice showed marked improvement. The completion of the new hall for basketball meant a great deal of sacrifice on the part of many of our townspeople to whom we are greatly indebted. The boys of the team are looking forward to the next season when they will have most of the first string back with them. By hav- ing the use of the new gym for a complete season, the team of next year should enjoy a remarkable record.

N. lll00lllIlkE1' The highlights ol' the past season were undoubtedly the two games with liinglield. lloth teams were very evenly matched, King- lield taking the game at liinglield hy a score ol 3-il-,ll and our boys winning over here with a score ot Z5-ln. Both games were well played and provided a great deal ol exciting play. The North Franklin County Tournament olliered many thrill-packed games and it can truthfully be said that the games in which our boys ligured were among the best. Phil- lips drew Kinglield for the first game lost by the narrow margin ol' two points. The teams showed themselves to be very evenly matched and it was anybody's game till the final gun: even then it was rather dif- ficult for us to realize we had lost. Satur- day morning we faced Strong as our oppo- nent and won over them. This victory placed us in the finals for the consolation cup with Wilton as our opponent. Although the Wilton boys had beaten us twice before, our boys got an early lead which they kept throughout the game. The team merely re- peated its record ot last year when they came from the tournament gym with the Conso- lation Cup.

This was the last year for Rus- sell, Stinchfield, Burnham, White, Badger, Art Blanchard and Dennison. Prospects for a winning team looked none too bright with only Toothaker and White left from the 1940 team, and nearly all of the other schools boasting a veteran nine. A squad of fourteen men answered the first call for practice. And it was very for- tunate for us that it was an early season. The boys were all very willing but the most of them lacked experience. ' The first game was played at Kingfield. We lost by a score of 4-2. Both teams made errors but it was a good game for the first one of the season. Toothaker pitched his first game for P. H. S., struck out ten men and allowed only five hits. April 26th-Stratton came to Phillips. This proved to be another low score game, our boys winning 5-2. Toothaker was at his best. He kept the hits scattered and struck out fourteen men. While our boys were still making errors the hitting and field- ing showed much improvement. May lst-Kinglield came to Phillips for the return game. Toothaker and Kirkwood engaged in another pitching dual. And this time we won 5-4. In the ninth inning with men on second and third and two out Bob Parker made a running one hand catch to retire the side and end the game. May 6th-We played at Rangeley. Our boys hit three Rangeley pitchers for sixteen hits and won 17-8. White played a great game in the field, and Morgan starred at bat, getting three singles and a double. Tooth- aker again pitched a good game for us, strik- ing out ten men. May 10 - Our boys entered the track meet at Wilton in the morning and played base- ball in the afternoon. This was the first game for Wilton, and outside of one bad inning the Wilton boys played good ball. In this inning Badger gave up six hits and walked three for eight runs. Curtis Smith pitched for Phillips and never was in any serious trouble. May 10-Strong came to town. For the first four innings neither team scored, but in the fifth Strong scored two runs and this looked good enough to win the ball game for Durrell was setting our boys down in one-two-three order. But in the seventh we got to Durrell for five runs and added two more in the eighth, while Strong scored once. In the ninth Strong scored four times to send the game into extra innings. In the tenth White doubled and Morgan singled to send White home with the winning run. May 16th-VVe went to Stratton for the return game. Toothaker pitched another fine game, striking out fifteen men. The final score was Phillips 16-Stratton 3. May 21 -Phillips 23-Wilton 3. May 24-Phillips 3-Rangeley 2, 11 in- mugs. TRACK T 5:30 the first Saturday inglune 1940, we find five boys gatherediin front of Mr. Haley's house. Why? Because they are going to Portland to show the other Class C teams in the state that Phillips really has a contending track team. Somehow we all six squeezed into Coach Kittredge's Ford convertible and after an un- eventful trip arrived safely in Portland about 7:15. After a short period of waiting, the entrance papers were ready and at 9:00 the meet was under way. When the hnal scores were tallied Phillips hadn't done too badly for herself, winning a total of 21 points, placing her third in Class Il C 37 Summary of points: - Shot Put ...... B.

The prospects for next season are not too bad as quite a few of the boys will be back. .M When the roll-call was taken for track this season we found our losses have been greater than was expected last year.

Phillips will have a team there representing her, and whatever the outcome we intend to give the other Class C teams some real competition and make them work for every point they get. So, on to Portland and may the best team winl VOLLEY BALL OLLEY ball is new to the girls of Phil- lips High School, as well as to the girls of the other schools in Franklin County. It was started to take the place of softball which has always been the spring sport for girls, and a trophy is to be given to the winning team. Although the game is a good one for girls, because it is neither difficult nor strenuous there was the usual lack of interest among the Phillips girls. D THE PHILLIPIAN 21 ALUMNI HALL The girls who played were Dorris Tooth- aker, Marilyn Wing, Dolena Walker, Lois Campbell, lean Edwards, Myr Lyn Wilber, Ruth Mills, Evelyn Mitchell, Myrtle Voter, and Alice Torsey.

We had had only three practices at the Community House, however, when we were told that the new community building had been made ready for our use. There were rules and regulations laid out to us before the opening, but we all cooper- ated and soon were playing. At Hrst, the large playing surface was dillicult for us to get used to but after two or three practices, we got along fine. It seems as though there should be more girls out for this sport. It is very interesting and having one of the best gyms in the county should mean something to every one of us. The girls having played most on the first team this year were Myrtle Voter, Dorothy Torsey, Alice Torsey, Dorris Toothaker, Dolena Walker, lean Boothby, Geraldine Kenniston and Lilla McLaughlin. NVith only two graduating, the team will be prac- tically the same. We all wish to thank our coaches, Mr. Mitchell and Miss Morrell for their excellent coaching through this year and hope that they continue to help the girls. A better cooperation should be shown in the teams and not so much of this rivalry between players in the years to come. It isn't good playing that counts as much as good team work.

X Q OUR CLASS TRIP OF ,41 N the twenty-Hrst day of March, nine seniors started on our 7-day trip to Washington, D. C. We started from Phil- lips in cars which were to take us to the station in Rumford. There we took the train to Boston where we boarded the Meteor i' at the Colonial Line Pier. The Meteor 'I took us to New York, and the Green Tour Buses took us from there to Washington. I shall now mention some of the places at which we stopped on the way. First, the buses took us through the Hol- land Tube which was IZ, miles in length. We stopped at the Annapolis Naval Campus where 200 young men are in training, and a variety of sports for their use. After leav- ing there, one of the large ferries took us across the Delaware River in a short time and we ended our ride at Washington for a while. lust mentioning the places there that we saw doesn't do justice to the capitol, but I will tell in brief some of them. We rode through Potomac Park the Tida Bacin where the Iapanese Cherry Trees are planted. They were only in bud when we were there. We also enjoyed a ride along the famous and historical Penn- sylvania Avenue and a walk through the many rooms of the White House. The Washington Monument is 555 ft. 6 inches in heighth. We went to the top in elevators as the stairway fcontaining 898 steps, were out of condition. A good view could be seen from all four sides of the monument. A guide took us through the bureau of Engraving and Printing where all of our around paper money is made. At the Lincoln Me- morial we saw the three expressions on the face of the enormous granite statue of Lin- coln. A short time was spent in the U. S. Supreme Court. In the Library of Congress we saw the smallest volume of the Consti- tution of America and the wonderful Mosaic Painting made of millions of small stones. We motored to Washington's Mansion at Mount Vernon where many of the old fash- ioned pieces of furniture are still retained. In all, Washington was very interesting and easy to Find your way around in as it was planned and developed under the L'Enfant Plan. As much as we hated to, we had to leave the beautiful city Tuesday morning for New York. We had luncheon at Pennsylvania, and went through the Betsy Ross House, Inde- pendence Hall, and passed the Old Burial Ground where Benjamin and Mrs. Franklin are buried. We arrived at the Taft Hotel in New York about 5 P. M. That evening was spent in the National Broadcasting Studios, Radio City, and Ben Bernie's Show. The next morning was free. Many of us went shopping on Fifth Ave- nueg others went to the top of the Empire State Building. This building is the tallest in the worldg the top, in a heavy storm or wind will sway from three to six feet. The K' Little Church Around the Corner was of interest as many of the movie stars go there to be married. Coming back on the Ar- row we left the Statute of Liberty and the high sky scrapers in the distance. This 24 THE PHILLIPIAN ended our wonderful trip which we shall never forget and probably many will never see again. L. M. '4l. NEW ENGLAND AS WHITTIER KNEW IT T is spring! Spring again in New Eng- land! But these are troubled times. There is talk of war. Let us escape from all this and spend a day in the New Eng- land of Whittier's youth. We shall visit with Iohn Whittier himself on his father's farm. In early morning one day in May as we drive along the old road with horse and buggy we see a gate behind which stretches a county lane shaded with tall trees, stately with age. On this gate we find a boy look- ing olf into the distant hills with perhaps a shy glance or two at us. As we draw up, the boy smiles shyly at us and we think immediately of Blessings on thee, little man, Barefoot boy with cheeks of tan --. No wonder Whittier could write that so naturally, he himself had been that boy. On the way to the school we pass through fields and across the brook while our new acquaintance tells us of the winter just passed. He takes us back beside the fire- place, crackling and giving off a cheery warmth. With chestnuts roasting and rosy red apples at our elbow, we see the family gathered 'round while father and Uncle Iohn tell of other snow storms, Indian fighting and patriotism. A blizzard rages outside but the family is oblivious of that. Suddenly around the bend we see the schoolhouse. Boys are leaning on the fence, laughing and happy as are school boys every where, girls watch us from the windows and door. The bell rings and in we go. The boys and girls sit on benches, girls on one side and boys on the other. They made certain that the school master did not see them as they whispered for he was free with the birch rod. A spelling lesson comes first, carried on as we knew it must have been for who of us hasn't read Whittier's School Days P Could this freckled little girl with pig tails who went to the head of the line be the one we know so well? We notice that Iohn Whittier's eye wanders toward her. Lagging through the fields and beside the brook on the way back to the farm 'and evening chores the boy asks eager questions of Burns and Scott. Who of Whittier's schoolmates could realize then that their friend who played hooky with them to go fishing would someday write poems that homesick New Englanders would read with grateful hearts. As we pass by the general store on the way through the village for one last look at the pleasant New England life before re- turning to 1941 we wish that perhaps we might have lived in those peaceful times. But listen! What is the man shouting in the center of the one street? Down with the trouble-makers! he cries. Drive out the abolitionistsf' Our hearts are heavy as we pass through for even then life was not always so peaceful. Marion Beal. THE ENGLISH REFUGEE HE boys in Riverside School, Riverside, Michigan, were surprised to Hnd a new pupil among the group on Monday morning. They were very much surprised to find that this tall, good-looking lad of thirteen had come from London, England, during the previous week, but imagine their astonish- ment to find that his name was Evelyn Black. When Evelyn went home to dinner that noon he was very unhappy, but since his aunt and uncle, for that was what he called his present guardians, attributed his sadness to homesickness they did not comment on it. However as time went on and Evelyn's unhappiness increased, they became con- vinced that homesickness could not be the whole cause. Then one day he appeared with a black eye and they decided to make inquiries. THE PHILLIPIAN 25 Evelyn confessed that the boys at school had been poking fun at his name and that he, on several occasions, had had to fight and up to now had always had the worst of it. I keep telling them how brave my dad is, he said, almost in tears, but they say that a man who'll name his son Evelyn can't be brave. I guess it just isn't any use. The next morning at recess the boys started their hectoring again. Evelyn had reached the limit of his endurance. His fists Hew and before even he realized it both his tormentors were on the ground. What is the meaning of this? de- manded a stern voice. Evelyn Black, you don't deserve to hear the news I have for you. It was the principal. Is it-is it from my father? quavered Evelyn. It is. I think your-er-friends may be in- terested too. Your father, Evelyn, has just received a medal for bravery. Gosh! exclaimed the boys, and one of them added, You weren't kidding us at all! Your father really is with the R. A. F . Boyl' said the other, A real flyer! Say, how's about being friends? Gee, we really liked you, only, well your name is sort of funny. You bet,,' said Evelyn. And why don't you just call me Butch for short? Nelda Thompson. HOW IIMMY SAVED THE FLAG IT was a cold winter night and Iimmy O'Brien, a poor newsboy, was walking home from work. He and his mother lived in a tiny cottage on the outskirts of the city, almost a mile away. It started to snow and the wind increased. Iimmy, shivering, drew the collar of his thin jacket more closely about his throat. He decided to take a short cut to get home sooner. His way now lay in a bad part of the city. People of almost every nationality lived there and it was almost dangerous to walk in this section alone after dark. Iimmy continued resolutely onward. The wind and snow increased. It seemed as if the bones of his body were frozen, and soon he realized that he must stop at one of these houses to get warm, or perish. He paused in front of a building for he thought he heard angry voices and someone sobbing. He stepped to the window and looked in. The sight that met his eyes made him forget that he was cold. In the small room he could see people. On looking more closely he discovered a little boy crouching in a corner. He was crying and appeared very frightened. A large brutal looking man was bending over him as though threatening to do something. A frail woman was standing near by. It seemed as if she were pleading. She spoke in a foreign language which jimmy could not understand. Her words seemed to make the man more angry. Suddenly Iimmy saw that the little boy held a small American flag partly concealed by his coat. The man started to take it from him. Iimmy felt that it was time for him to interfere. He opened the door softly and entered. The man did not see him. Rushing up behind and knocking him to one side, Iimmy took the flag from the boy's hand and turning to the astonished people cried: This American flag protects all its citi- zens. You are a foreigner. You may be an enemy of this country, I cannot say, but I know you are doing wrong to try to take this Hag from the boy. While you are liv- ing here you are under its protection and should obey and respect its laws. Has the United States ever done you any wrong? The man felt ashamed and lowered his head. Finally in broken English he replied: No, the United States has not wronged me, but my native country does not like her, and I was only doing what I thought was right. I see now that I was wrong. jimmy gave the flag to the boy and told him to honor it and respect it always. As he moved toward the door the woman de- tained him, trying to express her gratitude for his assistance. Finally he started for home. He no longer felt cold. He was very happy for he knew that he had done a good deed that night, a deed of any true American! Robert McKeen. 26 T H E P H THE EASTER LILY . U I SN'T it remarkable, the way she cares for her garden-everything grows so nicel ' This is what the neighbors would say when they saw eight-year old Babette Grant working on her precious plot. She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant who lived on Decatur street. They had a small, modern home. Mr. Grant having worked in a bank for ten years. On one side of the spacious lawn, was Babette's garden, beauti- fully decorated with many flowers. She had a little glass box for a hothouse. Her many species had been given to her by her mother and the neighbors. She tenderly cared for her garden every day. One day Babette came home from school and saw a package for her on the table. It was from the minister. He had sent her an Easter lily bulb! M ot h e r! M ot he r, look! she cried. See what Mr. johnson gave to me. Now I can have a lily all my own.', During the winter, a poor Italian family had moved in, down the street. The father had died, leaving a wife, three small chil- dren and a girl, Betti about Babette's age. The mother had to work very hard so her children would not starve. Babette tried in vain to make friends with Betti, but she paid no attention. Her face was always dirty and she looked to be very cross. By now Babette's lily had grown quite large. It was almost Easter, but would the lily bloom too soon? This question worried Babette. One day Babette had noticed Betti gazing into the window of the Florist Shop. She stood there a long time. When Babette went over, she saw Betti crying. Immedi- ately Betti ran. It must be that Betti liked flowers also and she had been wishing for some. One morning when Babette woke up, the sun was shining brightly. She hurried to look at her lily. Much to her disappoint- ment one bud had already opened and the other was about ready. Oh what shall I ILLIPIAN do? she thought. It's eight days before Easter and my lily will be spoiled. Sud- denly she stopped crying. An idea had come to her. She ran to mother and they whispered for several minutes. She hurried down to Mr. Iohnson's to ask him something. Yes, my dear, he answered, it's all right with me. That afternoon Babette carefully wrapped her lily and went over to Betti's. She was giving it to the poor girl who, she knew, loved flowers down in her heart, instead of putting it on the church altar where every- one would see it and praise her. Mother and the minister both agreed that it was a fine idea. Oh thank you,', she cried, thees is for me? I love-a it. After this the two girls were close friends. Babette gave and taught Betti many things. THE LIE AND HOW IT GREW N this particular morning nine year old jerry Arnold was feeling very sorry for himself-and why shouldn't he? He had just come from a long session in the wood- shed. At least it had seemed long to him. This is how the whole thing happened. Ierry's mother was right in the midst of making a cake when to her dismay she found she had no baking-soda. She hurried to the door and called, jerry, come here a min- ute, please. Will you run down to Mr. Carter's store and get me a box of baking- soda? Wait just a moment and I'll get you some money. Be sure and come right backll' A few minutes later jerry was hurrying down the street, and fearing he would for- get what he was after he kept muttering to himself, Baking-soda, baking-soda. At the same time that jerry was on his way to Mr. Carter's store, a jolly group of young boys was coming down the street, baseball gloves and bats swinging at their sides. Now Ierry's intentions were to do as his mother had told him to, but he soon found himself in a vacant lot, on one side of Mr. THE PHILLIPIAN 27 Grundy's house. Ierry noticed the house was quite near but he under-estimated his ability with the bat. Before he realized it his bat had hit the ball with an astounding crack! and the ball went sailing through the air-crash ll right through Mr. Grundy's front window! The next thing Ierry knew, Mr. Grundy was shouting at the boys and shaking his fist. All in one breath the boys took to their heels and ran for dear life. Ierry ran right past Mr. Carter's store, the baking-soda he was supposed to buy the farthest thing from his mind. As he ran into his own yard his mother met him at the door and asked, Where is the baking-soda, Ierry? Not wanting his mother to know the story of what had happened he did the worst thing he could havewclone-he told a liel They didnlt have any baking-soda! he blurted out. Why didn't you go to another store then?,' Why are you so breathless--have you been running? Yes'm, you see I went to nearly every store in town and nobody had any baking- soda, and- Are you sure, Ierry?,' interrupted his mother, eying him strangely. Oh, yes'm, Ierry answered her, now de- termined to make the most of this lie he had started. You see as I was coming from one of the stores, I happened to look up to Mr. Grundy's house and I saw an old tramp walking right into his house. Pretty soon I heard a noise and the tramp jumped right out of the window, Mr. Grundy hollering, Thief, thief! V' Of course everyone ran right after the thief and so did I, but pretty soon I remem- bered that you told me to come right back so I-Oh Er-good, morning Mr. Grun- dy. Mother may I be excused? lust a moment young man, said Mr. Arnold coming out of the next room where he had heard everything. Let's wait and see what Mr. Grundy has to say. Mr. Grundy told his story and soon went away with money in his pocket to buy a new window. Mr. Arnold now turned to Ierry and asked, 'lDid you do this, jerry? Oh, no, Dadf' Ierry quickly answered, hoping to keep himself from getting a pun- ishment but vaguely realizing he was leading himself to a worse punishment. Ierryl his father sternly said, You have told enough lies for one day. Come with me! All Ierry's protests were in vain, and so now it is plain to see why Ierry was feeling sorry for himself. For that stern, Come with mel' was a trip to the much dreaded woodshed. But Ierry had learned that his fespecially such yarns as Ierry told, do not Pay! Dolena Walker. ALUMNI HALL N the last issue of the PHILLIPIAN we showed the plan for the new building. It was the idea of the committee to continue work as long as funds were available. But there came a time last spring when the funds were exhausted and it was very necessary to complete some of the work. The directors borrowed 151500. From October to December no work was done. It was a question of heating the building. During the Christmas vacation box stoves were put on the stage end and work started again. All of the labor and some of the material was contributed. In two weeks the hall was opened to the public. During the months of Ianuary and Feb- ruary the hall was in almost constant use. It seemed too good to be true that we had such a wonderful place in Phillips. The American Legion Auxiliary has earned a substantial sum to continue the work. The stage has been completed, thd monthly payments on the note have been taken care of each month, and a new heat- ing plant has been purchased and will be installed in a short time. Early this spring the question of wood for another year came up. Truman Masterman offered to give wood if men could be found to cut it. Forty men volunteered--cut, yarded, and trucked twenty-five cords. Later this was sawed and put under cover, all without cost. 28 THE PHILLIPIAN Many people from the surrounding towns have inspected our building in the past few months. The citizens of Phillips have been highly commended. They admire the spirit shown. They know the courage it took to start and continue this project in the midst of the depression. The Legion will need the continued in- terest of all during the coming year. Now that we can use the hall, it will be very easy for some to hang back and let a few finish it. But the final success depends upon every citizen. PHILLIPS BOYS IN THE SERVICE N this issue of the PHILLIPIAN we wish to pay tribute to the boys who have at- tended our school and are now in the service. We know how willingly you an- swered the call of your country. Every generation must look to the young men of your age for protection in time of need. We know you will never regret the sacrifices you are making. We are proud of you. We are giving below the names and ad- dresses as given us by Mr. Trecartin, Mr. Kelley and Mr. Noble. If any names have been omitted it was not intentional. We hope that many of the readers of this item will write to some of these boys. PVT. KENNETH R. BUBIER, 14th Infantry, Co. B., Fort William D.

SHORT SKIRTS Coming home from school at noon one day Jimmy Jones, a freshie, to his mother did say, Mom, why do the girls wear their skirts so short? You know, I believe they really should not. They wear them way up above their knees, They look something awful and I'd think they'd freeze. I suppose they think it's the proper style, The skirts should be, I guess, pulled down a mile. We boys like girls who look all rightt But they don't that wayg they look a sight! Phyllis Knapp. THE PIIILLIPIAN 29 ,Q N 1? fx I' XX Q aff?

GONE There is one searing mem'ry of childhood That will stay with me through the years, The time we were stricken with sorrow And moistened our pillows with tears. We had a gay black terrier Who was romping and running all day, He would whine when he saw we were grieving And bark when he saw we were gay. The day I'll always remember Was a hot sultry day in July, A screach of brakes, a shrill puppy's cry When I saw him I knew he would die. No more will our pup make us happy: No more will we hear his glad cry, For our puppy has gone to dog heaven, Up to that sweet bye and bye. That's what I'1l always remember, All down through the long hard years, The time we lost our puppy, And moistened our pillows with tears. Tommy Thompson. SPRING I woke up early one morning And behold, the grass was green, The birds were singing gaily, The buds could surely be seen. Spring had come in a moment, It filled my heart with joy, For everything' seemed full of promise For every girl and boy. lt's the happiest time of the seasons When God makes everything new. It makes me want to do my part In this land so good and true. Nelda Thompson. COURAGE What man e'er lived upon this earth What man e'er got his money's worth What child could e'er have lived from birth Without courage? Would Edison e'er have made a light Would General Grant have won the iight Would Franklin e'er have flown the kite Without courage? Would there be a U. S. A. VVhere would England be today VVould Columbus e'er have found the way Without courage? Would Christ ever have come down here To die for those he loved so dear Or stood the crowds who did watch and jeer Without courage? The world is torn in war and strife Each country's fighting for it's life What will make them win, the gun or knife? No - it's courage. Phyllis Knapp. MY CAR Rattle, rattle little Ford, Your construction is of board: You're the apple of my eyeg O'er the roads how you do fly! Something's wrong now with your hornl Bang! now there's a tire gone! You're always running out of gas When I pick up a pretty lass. To ride in you is like a dream But gas goes through you in a stream: You have some scrapes and many a scar But all in all you're quite a car. Earl Eustis.
