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. CAI s i 5 E 1 TWH xtxws

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.
