Poughkeepsie High School - Phois Yearbook (Poughkeepsie, NY)

FOREWORD That in the To-morrow, our Today shall be remembe1'ed, this Phois is published for the Students of the Poughkeepsie High School by the Class of Nineteen Twenty. In presenting this book, the Editors have found it desirable to prevent its being a mere collection of statistics. This Phois for 1920 has therefore taken the form of a play. The Editors have tried to portray the scenes with two points in view: first, that the facts shall be as accurate as possible, and, second, that tl1e acts and scenes shall be in such an order as best to represent the sequence of events in the school life. For that reason it is to be noted that the four acts represent the four main groups of the school activities: societies and publications, athletics, class activities, with commencement as the climax. These are followed by an epilogue representing the after-effects of this strenuous life. It is hoped that this plan will meet With the approval of the readers of the Phoisg and that the book may be considered worthy of our Alma Mater.
