8 Clje Boulette Introducing the Roulette 3ERHAPS you wonder at the new name for the P. H. S. Annual and are interested in its significance. The r word “Roulette” comes from the French, meaning “little wheel,” and is the name applied to one of the most popular games offered at Monte Carlo and the other greater gambling palaces of the world. The wheel consists of little black and red compartments, and, as our school colors are the same, do you not think ' ‘Roulette” an appropriate name for our annual? Besides, is not life itself a game of chance? Are we not all players on the great wheel of life? Indeed we are; and it is up to us to choose on which color we will play. All the great things of our lives may be classified as either red or black. Honesty, Good Deeds, Faith, Love — all these, and many more that form the foundation for a life worth living are the red, and their opposites are the black. If you are a player on the latter, stop and think before it is too late; some day you may come to the sad realization that, no matter how honest, or red, you try to play, your soul will always be considered black, your fellow man will have lost confidence in you, and you will have lost out in the great game of life. Fellow students, we have given Roulette its first spin, and it is our earnest desire that you may play the game more suc- cessfully each year, and perfect that which we have so crudely, but earnestly, begun.
