HARVEY LOVETT Born May 27, 1924 Died October 1943 T is with loving memory that we dedi- cate this issue of the Phillipian to Harvey, who died on the battlefield Oct. 1943. ln school he always gave his best for P. H. S. As a Marine he gave his life for his country. His faithfulness, loyalty, and devotion to a great cause will always be an inspiration to those of us who knew him best. Harvey came to us from Georgia, and made his home with his sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Robert McLeary. His happy, sunny disposition and pleasing personality soon made him a favorite among the stu- dents. He was very fond of all athletics and in spite of his many outside duties, he 7 always found time to represent the school in all of these activities. He was a member of the best cross coun- try team to ever represent Phillips High School. And he ran well in both the New England and National meets. ln football and basketball he played a fast, scrappy game and he always lived up to his motto, Play the game clean and hard. 2 THE PHILLIPIAN In speaking and dramatics he was very clever. His ready wit and southern dialect always made a great hit. Harvey left us at the end of his third year to join the U. S. Marines. That he lived up to the tradition and great record established by the Marines is very clearly proved by the following letter received from his Commanding Officer. Feb. 15, 1943 I Dear Mrs. Duncan: We all were deeply grieved at the un- timely death of your brother, Pfc. Benjamin Harvey Lovett. But, as is necessary in time of war, none of us who knew him could ex- press our sympathy to you until we knew definitely, through your letter of Dec. 20th, that you had been officially informed of his death. I know you are proud to have had a fine man and soldier like Harvey representing you, your family, and your country in this great task we have at hand. Knowing him as long as I have been in the Marine Corps, I have found him to be quite a remarkable individual. The work was constantly diffi- cult and exhausting, but he never failed to do more than his share of it. And, at the same time, he could laugh and joke and keep his fellow marines in good spirits. To com- bine unquestionably hard work with high morale is a great achievement, and Harvey achieved it. He was a fine young man with an excellent record. He died doing his duty, while in action, keeping vital communication lines open un- der severely trying conditions. And, you must believe me when I say that he suffered none. I-Iarvey's friends, both officers and men, and I want you to know that you have our deepest sympathy in your great loss. I-Ie died in a noble cause that must sadly take some of us from this world. But never will it have been in vain. Harvey's work, his inspiration, and his loyalty to an ideal greater than any of us will always live on. Sincerely yours, Alin F. Dill, lst Lt. Adjutant. .915 55 1. a ' . or, I- y Eats-v-vvvw-55.9 H-lhhllff, w.,,u,xv Published by the Students of Phillips High School Vol. XLII IUNE, 1943 No. 1 Front row, left to right: H. Beal, N. Edwards, E.

Many of the older boys are in the Home Guard, but they could do much more than they are doing at present. They could take a short course in messenger service and help immeasurably in blackouts and air raids. The older girls could help around the First aid rooms and the Red Cross, while many more could man the observation post, thus releasing some older person to help more in some other way. 4 THE PHILLIPIAN There is work for all in Civilian Defense. As our boys are called into the service and more families move away we must all give more time. It is only a little compared to what the boys in the service are doing, and what we may all be called to do before this war is over. HIS year several of our schoolmates have been called into the service. Be- fore another school year ends many others will have answered the call of their country. We all have a job to do in this great emer- gency, and it is the iob of every boy and girl today, to be getting ready, both mentally and physically, so as to be of the greatest service when the call comes. The boys are given an examination at the time of induction. Will they pass the exam- ination with flying colors? Or will the Army say, just another boy the school failed to educate? The class of 1943 would like to see every boy and girl working with a definite aim in view another year, building both mentally and physically for the work that lies ahead. NOT HER good way to show patri- J- otism is to buy bonds and thrift stamps. This summer all P. H. S. boys and girls will be working at home, on the farm, or in the mill. All will be earning good wages, and should be able to buy one or more bonds during the summer months. It is a good investment and our country needs the money. So let us buy all we can while we are working. We will all return to school in the fall happier, and better citizens, knowing that we have done our part during the summer months. E have worked hard this year and we have done our best to publish a good paper. We would like to thank all of those people who have kindly contributed their time, service, and financial assistance. This year it seems harder than ever for peo- ple to help, for there are so many more things to do, but still everyone has pitched in and worked with a will to keep up the standards and see that the Phillipian is as good as ever. So, to all who have helped in any way to make possible this issue of the Phillipian, the Editorial Board and Phillips High School thank you.

Smallest in our class is Bill Who's no larger than a pill But you cannot keep him still When he has a joke to spill. Our little Nat is on the way To becoming a fine nurse some day, And her face quite red will stay When we all sing Anchors Aweigh. as Everett - Once he bought a book, And then this boy some lessons took On how and why to be a cook - His hamburgs are better than they look. Earl is sure one great athlete. His record is real hard to beat. Too, the girls call him quite sweet, And gather humbly at his feet. Nelda is the studious kind, Work and play she's never Combined, And I hope you'll bear in mind That she is musically inclined. johnny is the jolly sort Who cuts up in class, and always is caught. She chums around with Tink and Dot And goes up to Rangeley quite a lot. Next is Myr Lyn who's called Kid. She came to us from old Madrid. On her grandfathers car she has a bid, And she can speed along and will never skid. Mertie is a quiet lassg The only shy one in the class. No gum does she chew, no notes does she pass, And comes to school on three gallons of gas. Charlie wants to take a bow, And he deserves one, I allow. If we hadn't stopped his lab work, how Would the schoolhouse be here now? ! Our Virgil to the Air Corps went, To protect our nation from a bad event. Because a note l' to him was sent, By Uncle Sam and our President.

A large number of tons were brought in and taken to the lot opposite the school building. Among those who worked very hard at this were Earl Eustis, Dick Stinchlield, Bud Smith, Frank Beal, Ding Masterman and Floyd Norton. Earl and Dick .went out with a truck and brought in 25,000 lbs. together. The money from this was put into chairs for the Community Building.

FRESHMAN INITIATION As usual we had a rollicking good time at initiation this year. The Sophies had a great time making the green Freshies do different Hoot with their nose, eating cow's eye, and feeding each other blueberry pie, blind- folded. The boys were dressed in girls' clothes and the girls in boys' clothes. The Freshies have not been green since and are looking forward to their turn next fall. SENDING NEWS SHEET TO BOYS IN SERVICE During the past year we have sent six issues of the News Sheet to the boys in the service. We hope that all have enjoyed this bit of news from the school and the home town. We now have over one hundred and twenty-live names on the mailing list. An- other year we hope to make this paper larger and better. VVe are very grateful to the many citizens who have contributed articles. We hope that many others will find time to write a word to these young men who are doing so much for their country. Hand it to us and we will be glad to pass it on. PHYSICAL EDUCATION For years physical education has been re- quired by law in all schools. But because of the lack of proper facilities in many towns the law had never been enforced. Last fall the army urged that all schools adopt a physical Fitness program. And in October we started a course of three hours each week for all boys and girls.

Farly in the fall a group of boys and girls were chosen to go to Farmington to learn to be leaders. They spent the day and learned many new tricks which they have shown the others. We like our physical training course and it is much better than standing around and watching others exercise as many of us have done in the past. MAGAZINE CONTEST ln October the annual magazine contest, sponsored by the Crowell Publishing Com- pany, was held. Frank Beal was the leading salesman, The school earned enough money to pay for the football uniforms and clean up the 1942 deficit. VVe wish to thank all who helped to make this drive a success. NEW CHAIRS FOR THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ln the last issue of the Phillipian the Class of l9-12 suggested that we start a fund for chairs. During the past year we have turned over two hundred and ninety-eight dollars. At Christmas two hundred chairs were pur- chased, and the Legion reports that the last payment has been made. 16 THE PHILLIPIAN BAND The band has been progressing as usual this year but because of scarcity of gasoline we have not had any concerts or attended the festivals. Mr. Clark, who has been caring for the Legion Home on Mondays, has joined in with us several times playing different instru- ments. Because of rationing of gasoline and tires there has been no spelling or debating con- tests this year. We did send two representa- tives, Dolena Walker and Tommy Thomp- son, to the speaking contest at Kingfield, on May 28. MORSE CODE CLASS A class for those who were interested in the study of the International Morse Code was started in February. This course is the same as given by the army. The school pur- chased twenty records and many of the stu- dents have their own sending sets. At the end of twelve weeks Truman Mas- terman, Dolena Walker, and Tommy Thompson passed the ten word a minute testg Earl Eustis, Everett Walker, and Mari- lyn VVing the eightg Myr Lyn Wilbur and Charles Iepson the six.

THE EXHIBITION In the middle of April the village schools of Phillips and the Valley School gave an exhibition. It was put on in the Community Building and supervised by Mrs. Richmond. There were 150 children taking part from the primary to High School. There were plays, tumbling acts and dances. Fifty-three dollars was netted from this and will be used for the Community Build- ing. l CHAPEL SERVICE On Good Friday the high school and grammar school attended a service at the Methodist Church. There was a good at- tendance with Rev. Clark and Rev. Taylor as leaders. THE PHILLIPIAN 17 l 1 ' ' I P? l g ol ll - I ' :it?:i f . .gg gf I bg ' gf Q - 5 T has been very difiicult to carry on an Athletic season this year up in Maine because of the gas and tire rationing. We had to give up football completely as Strong and Rangeley laid away their pads and helmets and dug out their gloves and bats instead. We played only three games last fall, winning two of them, but they served to keep the boys interested in athletics. Interest in basketball seemed to have slack- ened here at P. H. S. this winter: neverthe- less we enjoyed a successful season. With a team composed of Mort Burnham, Chiz Ad- ley, Ding Masterman, Carmond Moore, Al- bert Burnham, Tommy Thompson, Enos Campbell and myself, we took second place in our league and won the consolation at the tourney. The season started off rather poorly with defeats from Farmington High and Wilton Academy. VVilton had one of the best teams seen in this section for quite some time, so this took some of the pain from our defeat. We did, however, redeem ourselves against F. S. N. S., taking them on their own floor by a couple of baskets, and in our return game unveiled our skill to the Phillips fans by trouncing them 45-35. About this time came our now famous bicycle trip to Kingfield, which most of you have heard about. The game over there was close for three quarters, but in the last they scored freely to win by eight baskets. If you remember though, when they came to Phillips, even though they had their first team, even though they rode in automobiles, and even though they had uniforms and a coach, we showed them what we could do by spanking them 33-27. Our next victim was Strong High over whom we won easily, but our next game, at Rangeley, was a little different. Collins and Irish, their key men, were having one of those nights and we came back to Phil- lips with a 36-27 defeat. With lay the next week, we hit our stride again and gained another easy victory. About this time came the highlight of the whole season. It was a Friday night and Rangeley was coming out to show those P. H. S. upstarts how to play basketball. Both schools had their Hrst teams on the floor at the opening whistle, but before Rangeley knew what had struck them, Chiz and I had scored three times to make the score 6-0. The game was very close all the way, but this time we were not to be denied, and walked off the Hoor the victors by six points. Strong High was next on our list, so down we went and brought back a 32-12 scalp. As always, Phillips was one of the eight teams chosen to go to the North Franklin County Basketball Tournament. This year as always one team stood out above all others. Wilton has had one of the best teams that ever participated in a Franklin County Tournament. They had victories over all the small schools in the state, as well as Kents Hill and Rumford. Who would Phillips draw? VVell, you guessed it. We played 3 good game but VVilton was too strong. ...fl 4'f73 U. s i x S l.d'I lu right: C. Mmrw, li. lhlxtix, l,. 'I'l1u11a1u-m.

Our final game for the consola- tion cup was at 7:30 with K. H. S. At the end of the quarter it was 8-3, 14-7 at t.he half, and the final score 22-15. Phillips High had once again won the consolation prize. This was the third time in the last four years that P. H. S. has received that honor.

To save an extra trip, Kingfield came out and played a double header. It was a very wet day for a game but we played anyway, losing both of them. Because of the transportation prob- lems, our schedule is smaller this year. In baseball as in all other activities we have to make sacrifices and any sacrifice which is necessary to help the war effort will be done willingly. 20 THE PHILLIPIAN GIRLS' BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: M.

For several weeks it seemed doubtful whether we would be able to play many games or not. The day before the Kingheld trip the ban was placed on all pleasure driving. We were not quite ready to ride bicycles to King- Held, but we did keep the telephone busy un- til we finally persuaded Mr. Keay J to drive through lhillips and take six of us to King- field. With no coach and no substitutes we played one of the best games of the season. The score was tied several times during the game and at no time was either team more than four points in the lead. When the final whistle blew the score was all tied up. Two weeks later the Kingfield girls vis- iied Phillips. VVe felt that with our coach and substitutes we would have little trouble. But the teams started in right where they left off in Kingfield. At the end of the quarter Kingheld led by one basket, but we evened the score at the start of the second quarter. And from that time on it was close to the end of the game. When the final whistle blew it was 22-22. THE PHILLIPIAN 21 P. G. S. BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: A. Guerney, R. Dodge, W. Davenport, A. Campbell, R. Harnden Second row: L. Toothakcr, Coach'E. Eustis, R. Beal We tried to persuade our visitors and the referee that this second tied game should be played off, but we were advised to wait until another year. Our games with Strong and Rangeley were close and interesting, but we were not quite good enough. We played four games with the town team. Both teams were evenly matched but we won all of them by close scores. Dot Toothaker, one of our star players, helped us through a good many hard spots during the basketball season. She has now left us and gone to Dexter N. Y. A. School. Kid NVilbur, our captain and star for- ward, will be leaving us in Iune. We have lost Ruth Gile. and Nat U Edwards gradu- ates this year. Prospects for a good team another year seem good. We wish you all luck next win- ICI. P. G. S. BASKETBALL SEASON When our basketball season ended last year and we saw our best players graduating we felt that a good team next year was too much to hope for. At our first practice this winter there were fifteen boys on the floor and although some of them were a little green, our spirits rose. After a little practicing we went to Farming- ton and took on the second high school team. This was the first time we ever played on that large floor but we started scoring at once and it was a very good game. The next week we went down to Wilton. We started very slowly and NVilton built a lead, but as the game ended Campbell and Dodge were scoring and their lead was growing smaller. We vowed that the next game would be different and sure enough, when they came up here we showed them how to play ball. At the end of the first quarter the score was 22 THE PHILLIPIAN 15-9 in our favor. At the half we had doubled the score 22-ll. The rest of the game was close with the whole team playing a good game. lay High second team came up the next Friday night and although they had some very large men it was a close game all the way. Campbell and Dodge were the high scorers for us. Our two games with Rangeley Grammar School were very close, the first, a low scor- ing game 8-12 and the second 21-24. In the first game up there, Bill Davenport was high with four points while Lym Toothaker scored almost half the points in the second game. Farmington Training School came to Phillips and played us the next Monday night. They had a good defense the first half, in fact, Bob Beal was the only one who could score for us. The next half was differ- ent, however, but we lost to a very good team. Our last game was with Farmington in their hall, and we had one of our OE nights. We had a new coach for that game, and nothing seemed to go right. We scored only four points but had a lot of fun playing them. The Franklin County Grammar School Basketball Tournament was held at Wilton on Saturday, March 13. The teams compet- ing were Farmington, Wilton, Chisholm, Rangeley, and Phillips. We started the day off by playing Farmington. All of the boys were going fine and we kept several points ahead of them until the last few seconds of the game. Then they crept up on us and dropped a couple in the basket. That put them ahead of us. They froze the ball and won 16-17. lt was disappointing but we came the closest to beating Farmington. In the afternoon we drew Chisholm, the team that took the tournament last year. We led them the First three quarters but we couldn't hold them and they won 13-14. Davenport, Campbell, Beal, Dodge, Tooth- aker and Richards played in the tournament. Earl Eustis, our coach, was unable to go with us so Monty Toothaker took his place. After we played, Rangeley beat Chisholm by five points. Later they played again and tied twice. Finally Chisholm won. Farm- ington playcd Wilton and doubled the score on them. In the evening the first game was between Rangeley and Wilton. In this game Range- ley doubled the score. The second game was between Farmington and Chisholm, playing for First place. Farmington won it. Chisholm placed second. Rangeley won third place. That ended the season for the PHILLIPS GRAMMAR SCHOOL BAS- KETBALL TEAM. Our team during this year follows: FIRST TEAM SECOND TEAM Toothaker -- L.F. Dodge - R.F. Davenport - C. Beal - L.B. Campbell - R.B. Harnden - L.F. Gil: - R.F. B. Rollins - C. Guerney - L.B. McLain - R.B. All of the boys mentioned above played very well, and even though we didn't win all the games we played, all of us boys had a lot of fun. We wish to thank Earl Eustis and Cole- man Mitchell for their fine coaching during the year. Next year we start with only two of our first team but watch us go. THE PHILLIPIAN 23 a uliiii! 4 DR. KARL BERLEUTNANT SCHROEDER sat very still in the plane staring straight in front of him like his other comrades. He didn't look at the huge mountains of clouds rolling below him, gleaming gray and white in the moonlight. Young German soldiers were not supposed to waste time contemplat- ing nature. He was repeating to himself the orders given to him that morning. . . . You will be Hown over enemy ter- ritory. Under your flying overalls you will be attired in civilian dress. In a secluded section of farmland you will be dropped, armed against possible capture. From there you will proceed to the dam near the city, where you will locate from the map given you the hidden switch that will destroy the dam. Due to our sudden evacuation of this section we were unable to set it off before. This time there must be no mistakes. . .U The drone of the plane made Oberleutnant Schroeder vaguely drowsy. He was not par- ticularly excited at the prospect of his immi- nent adventure. Most emotions had been carefully trained out of him. He had graduated with honors from the University of Berlin six years before obtain- ing then his M.D. degree. He had always wanted to be a doctor and through the efforts of his zealous mother he became one. A general practice was what he had wanted, he felt as if he could do more good in that line. He had married pretty Fraulein Schneider, a school teacher, and had a most successful practice when he was called into Hitler's army. He had been promoted quickly. Now he was as close to being a machine as military discipline could bring him. There was no emergency for which he was not prepared. He had long ago learned to speak the lan- guage of the enemy. -Achtung, Leutnant! They were ap- proaching the spot where he was to para- chute down. Feeling quickly to make sure his pistol was ready in case a farmer saw him, he crouched in the narrow doorway. The rising moon slid from a bank of clouds illuminating clearly the landscape be- low him. A deep blue lake caught the sil- very rays and ripled them OH into the shadows. The dark green plumes of a for- est spread out on one side, on the other, bleak fields extended as far as he could see. No human being was in evidence he noticed with satisfaction. That made things simpler, he refiected as he swung to and fro, a deadly doll suspended from the white mushroom of the parachute. The earth rushed up to meet him, and the wind dragged him several hundred feet through the dusty weeds before he could de- flate the chute. Extricating himself he stood up and looked around. A cloud of smoke rising some distance away told him that people were living in this section. Fingering his revolver he started for the trees in order to strip off his overalls and cache them with his 24 THE PHILLIPIAN parachute. In a few minutes he would emerge, ostensibly a citizen of this country. As he approached the edge of the forest a burst of laughter warned him that people were near. He dropped the parachute and stood still, releasing the catch of the pistol with automatic precision. This time there must be no mistakes. As he stood poised there three people emerged from the wood, their arms full of underbrush, an old woman and a young couple, evidently on their way home with firewood for cooking their meal. The laugh- ter lingered on their faces a moment when they saw him. Then the lengthening light of the moon glinted on the revolver, and they saw the parachute. They stood wavering, uncertain, confused, as he raised the pistol. It would be easy he refiected. Thank God for the moon. No, not God- The people remained frozen into rigidity. Their arms did not even relax to drop the faggots to the ground. With the slow inevitability of a slow mo- tion picture he squinted through the sights of the pistol. The man first, he decided. Then the women. Nothing could stop him -nothing. Then, as his finger tightened on the trigger he sneezed. He aimed again, but another sneeze shook him. Swearing under his breath he prepared to take aim again. The three people had dropped their loads of wood, and the man suddenly began to run toward him. Oberleutnant Schroeder squinted into the sight but his eyes were blurred, and he sneezed again, this time more violently than before. The human military machine had been trained never to be aware of nature except as a battleground, therefore he did not know at first what was disorganizing the perfect balance of his plan. But, being a doctor, he suddenly realized that his trouble was due to the fact that he was standing in a field thickly covered with rag-weed. The military organization had overlooked this completely. As the big German stood there, cursing and sneezing, his eyes streaming, the three people found it easy to seize his pistol and start him stumbling before them to their nearby home. Their home was a large one with many rooms and Schroeder, whom we will now call by his given name, Karl, soon discovered that it was used as a sort of hospital. It was crowded with patients suffering from an epi- demic of typhoid fever, due to the contami- nated water supply of the community. The three people whom Karl had tried to kill owned the place and had been after dry fire- wood for the numerous fireplaces in the hos- pital. Since Karl could not be sent to the authori- ties immediately he was set to work scrub- bing fioors. Soon the people at the hospital learned his story. They learned, too, that he had made a special study of typhoid. He was asked to contribute his knowledge. This he did, and soon the patients were well. His fame spread, and soon, instead of entering cities to blow up dams, he did so to save the people. Everyone knew the name of Karl Shroeder. He became known more familiarly as Dr. Karl. So far as I know he is still practicing medicine in that country. He plans, after the war, to get his wife. The three people whom he thought would be his victims often say to each other, Our capture of Dr. Karl was a lucky day for us, wasn't it? N. T. '43. THE DATE I DIDN'T WANT T was April Fool's Day but I wasn't aware of it. My girl friend told me that her boy friend had brought a pal along, at her request, so he would be over to see me. Picturing him to myself, I imagined him tall, dark and intelligent. I thought about the good time we would have, we could have a lunch, play the radio, play cards, look at snapshots taken on our trip South-oh, I was so anxious to see him! That evening I put on my best dress, my pumps, my ear-rings and fixed all up even THE PHILLIPIAN 25 to the perfume! Around eight o'clock there came a knock at the door. At the very same time the telephone rang. Was this a sign that my caller wasn't so important? Which should I tend first? Well, I answered the phone and guess what-it was my boy friend! YVait just a minute, Peterf' I said nervously. No, on second thought, wait and call later. I-lim awful busy. What? he drawled sarcastically. Really, Peter, you'll have to call again. G'bye --uh-bye, dear. With that I banged the receiver into place, hurriedly com- posed myself, smiled, and walked easily to the door. Telegram, ma'am, came the voice. O-U,', I blurted - then added, Thank you very much. I closed the door. I sighed. I sank into a chair and sighed again. Without looking at the telegram, I sat thinking. lust then the front door bell rang. It must be the date. Again I made ready. I walked to the door with my fingers crossed. I opened the door with a Welcoming smile but I felt it gradu- ally fail as I beheld that which was before me. Yes, it was the date I' but not the date I had looked for. There stood a-a -fwell, to be frank with you, a gawklj He was tall, skinny, not so intelligent- looking and pimply. Handsome-my eye! What was Madge thinking of? Her boy friend must be dopey to have this thing for a pal! My heart sank and I wanted to cry. O, well, I thought, maybe he isn't as bad as he looks. I can stand it just for tonight. All this flashed through my mind as he stood grinning at me. We greeted each other, introduced our- selves, and proceeded to the parlor. What would the kids say if they could see me now? We had talked only a little when I found he had a sissified voice, halitosis, and warts on his hands. I tried to overlook his faults, to talk and laugh. It was in vain! After about twenty minutes I said despairingly, Please excuse me a moment. I think my mother wants me. I knew it was rude and besides Mother was at a bridge party but I just had to think of something. I went to my little brother's room. He was reading but had not gone to bed yet. I quickly ex- plained my troubles and asked him to think of something. Interrupt us, play stupid or anything but please relieve me. As we were talking again, Horace and I, the sound of terrible violin music came to our ears. My little brother is practicing. We think he does awfully well, I said. K' Well, if that's music, then I'm a bird in a gilded cage. Horace said this trying to think of something witty. However, I didn't take it that way. I wanted to bop him! I hnally got out the pack of cards and we attempted to play. Never had I been so ill at ease-and that music was deafening! Finally little brother came in, dressed in an old summer suit, far too short. I introduced him to Horace and little brother shook hands -and I mean shook hands! Horace almost lost his arm. The telephone rang, so I asked David to keep Horace company just a minute. It's a pleasurefl he grinned. He began to pester him, he pushed the card table into his stomach, accidentally jumped on his foot, dropped the pack of cards and said, Please pick ,em up. I have a sore side. Horace, trying always to be courteous, obligingly ex- cused everything. O, yes, my telephone call was from Peter. I explained my situation to him and he said held try to help me, too. In fact, he came over to call! Perhaps I was doing wrong but I was suffering! Peter talked of electricity, Caesar, aviation and everything to embarrass Horace. Horace tried to answer intelligently but we really got some laughs. Peter de- cided to go home saying he just came to see if the milk cart had come! He secretly wished me luck, saying he shouldn't stay. I was glad to have so much time taken up but then happened to think I could take him into the kitchen. We made sandwiches for ourselves and had some milk. Because Hor- ace said he thought roosters, eggs were nice to eat, David said he'd fry one. Oh, said Horace, giggling, don't bother. I only re- 26 THE PHILLIPIAN marked that it was more fun to eat those big ones than the little ones. Well, David per- sisted. He accidentally spilled the pepper in it so poor Horace sneezed several times! It was cooked too long but Horace liked roosters' eggs! After David had gone to bed, I began to feel ashamed. I had never treated another boy like this. Why should I, a stranger? Thus, we talked a little more seriously. fHe didn't seem to mind, when I sat in a separate chairlj Mother had come home, chatted a while but then slipped up to bed. I thought Hor- ace would never go. I yawned and did ev- erything but offer him his hat! At twelve o'clock he said, Gee, I just happened to think. I've got to get my nine hours of sleep. It was plain to see that he wasn't used to calling on a girl! However, he seemed to have enjoyed himself, in his way. I wished him good luck and he left. I won- dered if I'd ever see him again. After the door was closed, I sighed. It wasn't the date I wanted. To be sure, parts of the evening had been amusing but you will never realize how bored I was. I picked up the telegram, still where I had left it. It said: April Fool stop Please forgive stop Madge. I. T. CAPTURED BY OUTLAWS NE day as I was walking along in the woods in back of a friend's house, two boys jumped out into the path in front of me. They were masked and held revolvers in their hands. I made a grab for the six shooter holstered by my side but one of them kicked it from my hand. Elevate those mitts, bozo, growled the one who had not moved. Grab a hold on those limbs over your head. VVhat is this anyway? I asked coolly, A holdup? If it is I guess you won't make much profit from it. I'm broke. This isn't any holdup, growled the one who had kicked me. L' This is a kidnap- ping. They then bound my wrists behind me and marched me to a little cave in the side of a hill. They shoved me inside and sat down to discuss what they were going to do with me until the ransom money, they were holding me for, came. One said, Let's take him to our camp. They'll never find him there. YVe can't, replied the other. When we release him he'd lead the sheriff to get us. VVelI, there's no need of releasing him alive, is there? inquired the first, laughing evilly. Well, I guess not, come to think of it, said the second, also laughing. We'll croak him before we take him home. Then he had a sudden idea, Why not kill him now? he asked. That will save us the bother of feeding him. An excellent idea, said the first. Come on! We'll do it now and get it over with. Together they carried me out of the cave. lust as they set me down the four o'clock whistle blew. Oh, oh! I said. Let me go, boys. I've got an appointment at the dentist's in fifteen minutes. Oh, darn! said both boys together. Now we'll have to wait until the next time we can get together before we can finish this thing. Huh! if it's going to end the way it started, I'm not so sure I want to finish this game, I said as I started for the dentist's. Well, see you fellows in school tomorrow. Check? Checkl replied both boys together. E. D. W. '43. THE HORRORS OF FRIDAY F all the days in the week, I find that Friday is the hardest one to bear. Perhaps it seems strange to you that I should dislike this day when there are six other days in the week which have an equal chance of gaining my disapproval. The reason is that my mother is very particular about my THE PHILLIPIAN 27 rank and insists that my time after supper for four days a week be spent in studying, Friday being exempted because I have the whole week-end to study in. Saturday night goes to the movies and Sunday everyone must be spent doing the studying left over from the week before. That is why Herbert comes to see me every Friday, and also why I disapprove of that day. Now, Herbert is a perfectly normal Amer- ican boy, or at least his eyes test 20-20, his teeth are perfect, he isn't underweight by any means and is about five feet six inches tall. Here the good points stop. For one thing he is practically a child, being only a fresh- man. Another thing is that he spends the only free evening I have talking about him- self in general. The following is a typical evening with Herbert. I-Ie arrives promptly at seven every Fri- day and while I'm finishing the supper dishes he chats with Mother because he knows that she is really his pass into our household and in order to continue his visits he must remain in her good graces. I can usually make the dishes last till 7:30 but then begins my night of torture. Usually we start out by my playing the piano for Herby to sing. Herby puts his whole soul into his singing, and I have found that by playing real fast, I can tire him out completely in thirty minutes so that he is willing to Hop into a chair and remain there gasping, but reasonably silent, for perhaps ten minutes. But you can't keep a good man like Herbert down long. Soon he's up and wants action, which usually takes the form of a card game. Here I have to be careful not to suggest anything that he is, especially good at because if Herby 'l gets to winning he will insist on playing till midnight. With a fair amount of luck I manage to have his spirits rather dampened by 9:30 and promptly begin to hint about his departure. Of course I know he won't go until he gets something to eat so I usually serve sand- wiches and cocoa because that is quick to get, and Herbert doesn't like cocoa very well. Ten-thirty finds me watching the clock and literally counting the minutes pass but always listening politely to some tall story about what he and some other children did at camp last summer, or something similar. At 11:00 I stop hinting and plainly tell him that I'm a very busy woman and must get my sleep, so if he'll please excuse me, I'm going to retire. Thus ends the horrible day of Friday. , M. M. S. '44, HARD LUCK NE Friday afternoon after school as I was going down street I saw Lucy Warren coming. Knowing what kind of girl she was I crossed to the other side of the road. When I crossed, she crossed too. She was tall, and had red hair which was al- ways out of order. When she was within speaking range she shouted, Hello, Ronald. I felt very small. She was chewing gum like a cow chews her cud. She said she was not going very far and told me if I waited she would walk down street with me. After I had waited three-quarters of an hour she came back and we went down street. When we got there she complained of being hungry. I said that we could go in the restaurant and get a couple of ice creams. We went in and sat down. While we were waiting she chewed her cud continu- ally. Finally the waiter came along. I asked Lucy what she wanted. She said steak and potatoes, and a glass of milk, and for dessert a pint of chocolate ice cream. Then the waiter turned to me and asked me what I wanted. A five-cent chocolate, I answered bewildered. After she had finished eating her tenth course she said to me, It's been nice seeing you. I guess I'll run along now. When the waiter came he had a small bill of 32.45. Be- ing kind of short that day I helped them do dishes until about 12 midnight. That was the most unenjoyable date I ever had or ever hope to have. R. H. H. '44. 28 THE PI-IILLIPIAN WHEN THE WAR CAME S we all realize by this time, we are at war with nations which are not peace-loving, but whose chief ambition is to rule the world. I will take my case and show how this crisis has aEected my life. I am a high school girl in a small town in northern Maine. In peace time we went skiing, skat- ing, and to nearby towns to movies and dances. After December 7th, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, we thought a little about it, but never having been terrorized by war, we kept on with our good times. Then the boys we have always known began to disappear. Gasoline rationing came but still we man- aged to Find enough to get to nearby towns. As usual I went to camp to work. Busi- ness was so poor I changed jobs, hoping that the restaurant business would be better, but gradually, as the summer wore away, I would Find more and more faces missing from among the young people who used to come there evenings to dance. In the fall I returned home to find many of my old friends gone. Now they come home once in a while but wearing Uncle Sam's clothes. The other day we had a little stronger and more vivid idea of what war is really like. This came when Prof. read the announce- ment of the death of one of the best kids that ever came to our school. I think I realize better now what war really is. I know that it is not merely fight- ing, but that we at home must do our part to insure a lasting peace, to guarantee that the children now growing up will never have to lay down their lives. G. K. '43. THE IDEAL PLACE The mountains rose lofty and white Gleaming in the noon day light, On the river bright with ice Groups of people skated and thought, How nice. The weather changed and the mountains grew green. The ice thawed and the water flowed by, pure and clean. The tourists Oh-ed and Ah-ed Because such scenery they had never seen, near or afar. Summer came: and swimming aplenty. The mountains loomed high and mighty, We see this scenery every day, We, the people of Phillips, U. S. A. H. L. B. '46.

We wish to extend our sym- pathy to his parents and family during these anxious days. THE PHILLIPIAN 33 6th Issue News Sheet for the Dear Boys! Once more Memorial Day rolls around, and this year the day takes on added signifi- cance. We gathered, not only to pay tribute to those valiant men of other wars, but also for those who have made the supreme sacri- lice in the present crisis. We gathered also to pay tribute to you, the living, as well as the dead. In the years to come it will be your duty to keep alive this day. Others may forget, but you, who have seen your comrades wounded and dying on the battlefield, will never forget. May we ever hold sacred this one day of the year, when we gather to honor our loved ones who gave their all for their country. This year the Legion, Auxiliary, and Guard met at the Legion Home at 10:15, and marched to the church where Mr. Clark delivered a very fine sermon. Immediately following the church service the parade formed behind the Phillips-Strong band. The march was over the same route as fol- lowed in previous years. The parade was halted at the home of Mr. McLaughlin while the band played. At the cemetery Mr. Curtis gave a very stirring and patriotic address. Only two weeks more and school will be over for another year. Nearly all of the boys and girls have already planned work for the summer months. We have several boys who will be called before school opens in the fall. Earl Eustis took the V-XII examinations for the Navy a few weeks ago. I-Ie was one of the few candidates accepted from Maine. He hopes to enter some college in Iuly for special training. 'N Leonard Kinney was in Portland Monday and leaves for Camp Devens next week. Marshall Fogg is out again and leaves for Camp the first of the week. Don Iames, Phil Wing, Rink Avery, Holman Toothaker, Theodore Beal, David Pratt and Henry Rich- ardson have been home recently. Howard Boys in the Service Haggan arrived home last Thursday. Two hours before he reached Phillips a telegram was received ordering him to return to Camp immediately. He left the next morning. Dr. Currier died very suddenly at his win- ter home in Florida this week. We have lost several prominent citizens during the past few months. At once, I think of Hon. N. P. Noble, Hon. I. Blaine Morrison, N. H. Harnden, and now Dr. Currier. These men have long been interested in the civic affairs of the town and will be very much missed. George Sedgeley was taken to the Fairfield Sanitarium this week. No further word has been received con- cerning Dana. The following clipping should be of interest to all. The first citation for gallantry in action in the North African Theater, goes to the Third Battalion, of the Sixth Armored Regi- ment, of the First Armored Division. This citation was for their gallant stand at Oran and made by General Dwight D. Eisen- howerf' Dana was in this battalion. We wish to extend sympathy to the family during these anxious days. Here is a poem I have just read, written at the time Rink Avery got his furlough: Red leaves today to see his Pa To be at home with friends and Ma. We hope that he comes back to us, The same old Red, to joke and fuss. We'll hurry past Red's vacant bunk Pretend the Hoor's strewn with his junk, At morn, we'll make believe he's there Still snoring in the sun's bright glare. But, goodness gracious, no one knows How much we'll miss Red's scattered clothes, And when we mop beneath his bed Our eyes will iill with tears for Red. Ah, sadder still, the unshined shoes I-Ie left, will multiply our blues. But soon we'll have them polished nice, For Red, this is no sacrifice. So may God speed Red on his way, And bring him safely back we pray, 34 THE PHILLIPIAN For peace and joy can only reign When good old Red comes back again. In closing, the Class of 1943 and all of the folks back home extend to you our best wishes. Our thoughts are best expressed in the last verse of Red's poem, with a few words changed. So may God speed you on your way, And bring you safely back we pray. For peace and joy can only reign When you all come back again. P. G. Whittemore. Hello Boys: This will be the last issue of the paper until after the summer vacation, but I think I have a plan that will keep you boys in touch with the old home town until after Prof. Whittemore gets back from his farming Spree. They think they can't get along with- out him over at Fryeburg. As this is the last issue and as many things may happen between now and September, I have some- thing on my mind I would like to write to you. We on the home front traverse a good many miles during the day in our mind's eye, as we are vitally interested in the wel- fare of the boys we love. I well remember an experience I had one time when I drove into a man's yard and asked him why he did not go to church. Well I remetnber how he looked as he straightened up that six foot three as he said to me: Come out into the field just beyond the house. Out we went and I was on my way to get a lesson I never forgot. Across that field ran a stone wall. Imbedded in that stone wall was a yellow birch tree. At the foot of that tree was a plank supported on either end by a stoneg and as we sat there he said to me, You know a man, God's greatest creation, needs an altar in his life. And when the load goes hard and the whiffletree comes back and hits you on the chin Qthe whiflletree of life, -in your case it might be a machine gun bullet-just remember that altar in your life. Listen, boys, these next few months are going to be tough. All of you boys have to pass through Hell and some may be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice. Read this little message through again and sit down and write your mother -and dad, and then you, like the great man I met, have established an altar in your own life. Tell them not to worry, for there is no power on earth that can penetrate the inner SanCtUm borne within the soul of a soldier boy who has established an altar within his own soul. Good luck, and may the blessing of God go and abide with you. Yours as ever, The House of Service and Iim the Barber. Our two games with Rangeley this spring were both very close. The first one was played on our diamond, which we won I0-16. The last game was a low scoring affair which they won 5-8. Adley pitched a good game but the breaks were against us.

We played our last game at Kingfield this afternoon. lt was a pitchers' battle. Kingfield scored one in the fourth and two more in the eighth and ninth. We scored one in the ninth. Eustis struck out eleven men, made ten assists and allowed only four hits. Examinations will be Monday and Tues- day. The reception will be held Tuesday evening. The Seniors will be excused for the last three days of the week. The eighth grade enters high school Wednesday. Monty Toothaker leaves for Portland Tuesday. Kendric White and Bunny Blanchard are in the service. Charles Iepson, a junior in school, will leave Iune 18th. Lilla McLaughlin and Methel Wilbur were in Boston Saturday to take examinations for the WAACS. They expect to be called sometime this month. This is the fishing season, but there are very few fishermen. A few have arrived in the Rangeley Region by bus, but the ban on pleasure driving has kept many away. Wednesday afternoons the stores are all closed and Phillips certainly is a deserted village. We see very few cars on the streets at any time. At the last Air Raid Rehearsal the wardens, members of the guard, first aid, and motor corps were on duty. Several in- cidents were arranged and the test was a success. Glen keeps the Observation Post manned twenty-four hours, but he has to take an extra shift quite often himself. Capt. Wing has his guard drilling outside each Monday evening. The maneuvers planned for Iune 6th have been called off because of the gas situation. We all enjoy the pictures of you boys on display in one of the windows of Edgar Toothaker's store. There are nearly one hundred now and each day brings new ones. lt is a mighty fine looking group of men, and we are all proud of you. Elwin Webber spoke of Bill Sc Iim's hog raising venture in the last issue of the news sheet. Bill's pig died the first night and Iim's the next forenoon. They are in garden business now. A salesman went into a bank to cash a check. The banker made a mistake and gave dollars for cents, and cents for dollars. The salesman spent three dollars and a half and when he reached home found that he had twice what he should have had. What was the real value of the check? A man had one hundred dollars. He went out and bought sheep, turkeys, and chickens, and returned with one hundred head. He paid for each sheep ten dollars, each turkey two dollars, and fifty cents for each chicken. How many of each did he purchase? The sum of the ages of Iohn, Mary, and lane is fifty-four years. Seven years ago Mary was twelve and at that time twice as old as Iohri. In ten years Iane will be twice as old asslohn. And in twenty years Iohn will be thirty-three. How old is Mary? Send in your answers to these three prob- lems before September first and also your correct address at that time. We want to be sure that you receive our next issue. But some of you move so often, it is impossible to keep up with you without your aid. We are mailing this issue to one hundred and thirty. Once more, good luck and best wishes to you all. 36 THE PHILLIPIAN INDEX T0 ADVERTISERS The following are our advertisers.
