THE NAUTILUS Professor E. D. Phillips has been prominent- ly connected with Kansas City high schools for thirty-six years. He entered Central High School in 1877. He was head of the English department there for many years. When Man- ual Training High School was opened in 1897, Mr. Phillips left Central to enter the faculty here as head of the English department. Later he was appointed vice-principal, and in 1904 succeeded Professor G. B. Morrison to the principalship of this great school. That was nine years ago, and ever since, Professor Phil- lips has worked with hand and mind and heart for the good of Manual.- His policy has al- ways been The greatest good to the greatest number. All who have known him person- ally, honor him as a man. Professor Phillips has decided that this will be his last year at Manual for which we are genuinely sorry. The high standing of Man- ual among schools is due largely to the labor which Professor Phillips has expended in the development and enlargement of its corricu- lum. The Nautilus believes that it expresses the sentiments of the entire school in regret- ting Professor Phillips' resignation as prin- cipal. We wish him a long and successful life, lightened by the knowledge of duty well done.

M THE NA The fourth of june has come. AH- other school year has passed OVC1' OUT heads. Another summer v a c a t i on has rolled around,--all too soon, if we but think a moment. School-days At the Divide. are over for many of us, but we must remember that uinstruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with lifef, Many will return next year to dear old Manual,,' while some will go off to college. U But the paramount question now is, What are you going to do this sum- mer ?', This is not so important to the girls as to the boys, for fewer girls take up work in the summer than boys. Still their plans for summer trips and outings are just as important. For the boys who are leaving school this year to return no more, this question holds the most im- portance. Some of us have had our vocation picked out since we first entered Manual, some have decided upon it since entering, while many of us are still un- certain. There is in aQl of us an impulse of fitness, a hunger to get at a work that we can make a foy, and it is this thing we should seek to discover. Do not seek simply a john thinking only of the pay per week. Select your position with some partial adaptation, at least, to your natural gift. Select an employment that you love, that you take pleasure in. The silent energy of pleasure makes work easy. We do not half appreciate this unknown force, the energy of -pleas- ure. Under its influence we are not con- scious of trying. We do not have to whip and spur ourselves. Pleasure af- fords all the force. We just like to do it. We work on and on, not knowing whennto stop. Happy over one's work, enjoying one's task-that surely is the way God meant us to be. All the world's greatinasterpieces,-the things that will Still live on when we are dust, whether paintings, music, poetry, or temples, have been the joyous creations of men who stuck to the work that they loved, F. M. D. UTILUS The Nautilus is pleased to record the that this school year of IQI2 and IQI3 l121S l3CC11 the most prosperous and interesting fact Manuars progressive period in the C Era of , history of Manual. In Pfospemty' reputability and popu- . larity she has forged ahead splendidly as shown by her en- rollment of 1,851 pupilS,-'thugs fetam' ing for her the penant of maximum at- tendance, which she has held for three years as the largest high school in Mis- souri. The class of 1913 will number 257 diploma winners, the largest graduat- ing class in the history of our high school. What greatly contributes to- ward the success of Manual this past year-is the acquisition of the 318,000 worth of useful and beautiful improve- ments, which the Board of Education so generously bestowed upon Manual, and which so greatly increased ther at- tractiveness and efficiency. But the factor that counts for most in the life and fruition of any school-is the spirit of interest and work in the class-rooms and laboratories, and it is universally conceded by the teachers that never before has the school en- joyed such a high degree of interest and enthusiasm in the actual work of the school. For these gratifying reasons there should be ordered a salute of 21 guns for clear old Manual. 94 3 The Nautilus wishes to thank all those of the student body who have helped us in any way to make this A Note Annual the very best of Thanks. that it was possible to he made. Among the Faculty the Art Department is mentioned especially for their untiring efforts to add to the attractiveness of our maga- zine. Qui' art editors, Chris Null and Mildred Davenport, have worked verv hard for this and the preceding magad- zines, and along with them many others, to whom we are extremely grateful, Those who have contributed drawings this year are: Lucille Clifton, Dorothy Brown, Ethel Deutsch, Agnes Spaldinoi Beulah Gamble, Edith Camhell, LouTs Dietzel, Bida Vance, Mildred Bohon, and Ben Goldstein.
