Phillips High School - Mirror Yearbook (Birmingham, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 156 of the 1928 volume:

FOREWORD .Is the Indian Warrior painted the story of his life on the walls of his wigwam, so have we tried to give in true colors in the pages of this book, the chiefs and councils, the tribes and warriors, the conflicts and skirmishes, that have marked our paths through the seasons of i )2j and H)2$. We. the editors, present this Annual Mirror to the students of ritillips High School, trusting that it will represent to them as vivid a work of history as we have tried to make it. and hoping that it embodies the true spirit of the school for which it stands. The class of 1928 lovingly dedicates this their Animat to cue who has earned their sincere gratitude and appre-cia tion—Belle Com e r. IN MEMORIAM DAVID G. CHASE “counselor, guide and friend” JEROME COTTINGHAM WILLIAM MOORE Our comrades “Whom we have loved long since and lost awhile.” The School Senior Section Underclassmen Organizations Athletics Alumni Features Humor HISTORY OF PHILLIPS A great philosopher once said that n great institution is but the prolonged shadow of a great man. John Herbert Phillip High School is not only the shadow of a great personality, but the brain child of a great educator. When Birmingham was an infant in arms, his were the hands that rocked the cradle in which our high school grew from l ahyhood to a healthy and vigorous childhood, and when it al andoned its cradle and grew into youth, his mind conceived the path of its destiny and projected its future. Dr. John Hcr!� crt Phillips was the lirst superintendent of the Birmingham High School, which ! cgan in 1883 in a little brick building on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street. With Dr. Phillips. Mr. Kdgar Wingfield taught the forty-six pupils then enrolled. After two years, the school was moved to the Wright building on the northwest corner of Third Avenue and Nineteenth Street. I he first graduating class, in 1885. adopted as their school motto. “Per Aspera Ad Astra.” and as their class motto, Ducimus Viam.” The school was transferred in 1890 tothc old Park Avenue Hotel on thecorner of Park Avenue and Twenty-first Street. There, under the new principal. Mr. A. C. Moore, the first literary societies, the Yancey and Clio, were organised. In this year the Shakespearean Symjiosium. a contest on the Shakespearean play studied by the students during that year, had its beginning. The dramatic element soon Itecamc a part of the sym|K xium and the acting of the scenes liccamc as important as the literary contests. In the years following the acting of the scenes became more and more important and soon the dramatization of the Shakespearean play was one of the biggest events of the year. At the time that Mr. 1. B. Cunningham succeeded Mr. Moore, the school library was l� cgun. The Birmingham Public library, which had l� ccii located in the same building with the school, was moved to the City Hall. The students raised money for the school library by presenting plays and giving bazaars. In 1902 the Kutcr| cnn Club was organized and from that time students of unusual musical talent have l ecn discovered and given training in musical comedies, operettas, and other musical fields, through their activities in this club. The Aglaia Literary Society was organized in 1904 and the Pierian and Hilliard in 190b. The High School was moved in 1905 to the new Central High School on Seventh Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street. Since all student institutions must l� c represented by some publication worthy of the institution. Central High School published its first literary achievement. The Mirror, in May 1907. Since that time the Mirror lias played an im| ortant part in reflecting the High Lights of student activities, and in drawing the student laxly into a closer communication, thus creating school spirit. Soon alter this, club spirit among the literary societies licgan to show itself alxivc the horizon. This spirit was fostered and manifested by the annual joint debate, and later bv the inter-club oratorical. The oratorical, since its Iwgiuning, has proved one of the most interesting events of the school year. In fact, oratorical activities, as a whole, have proved most fruitful. In late years our high school orators have l ccn twice selected for first place in the National contest on the Constitution, held at Washington. Before representing the school at Washington, it is necessary that the contestant should win first in the school, county, district, and region of the country. Our high school record is one of which every student and every alumnus of Phillips and Central may well l� c proud. In 1907 Mr. Cunningham died. The student body felt a keen loss at this event, hut deemed themselves fortunate in having as Mr. Cunningham's successor. Dr. Charles A Brown. Or. Brown served as princi|Mil from 1907 until 1921. During this time, the high school grew both in size and fame. The Dramatic Club, (dec Clubs, Art Club. Commercial Club and Spanish Club were organized, as well as two new literary societies, the Curry and the Astraca. On February II. 1918,Central High School burned, and it Income necessary to accommodate the students in the old Medical College. Paul Haync, and various and sundry annexes until funds for a new, bigger and l ettcr school became available. The new school, named tor our beloved Dr. Phillips, superintendent of the Birmingham Schools since 1885. has well upheld the standards of its predecessors, under the superintendence of Mr. C. I. Going. In 1924. the school only halt completed, held double sessions, thus conducting studies from 8:50 in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The lunch room was a small wooden edifice constructed lichind the school. With the school well under way again, more new organizations- The Promethean, Vcstalia. Thalia. Mncmosyncan, and Thomas Owen Literary Societies, ns well as the Organization of the Ushers were formed. Probably the most outstanding change made in the school has l cen the organization of the student body into the General Organization, headed by a President. Vice-President, and Secretary, elected by the direct vote of the students. Phillips High School has l ccn a phoenix, which having risen from its ashes, is now soaring in the skies. Hying ever higher and higher on the wings of youthful determination. CLARENCE J. GOING Principal John Herbert Phillips Hh.h School SKYSCRAPERS The Titans have arisen and arc calling anew; Their proud faces challenge the Gods in the liluc.

DOROTHY WEE THINGS Once upon a time there wn n little ol«l fairy Lived down in n well under a brick. And she did all her reading by a tiny little candle With a tiny little dickering wick. She did all her sweeping with one little broom straw Taken from the kitchen wench. And even then it was so big lor the fairy That it gave her wee back a little wrench. And she did it 11 her cooking on a tiny little cookstove Over in the corner of the room. And sitting beside it was a little black coal hod. And that queer little one straw broom. And she did all her sewing with a little gold needle With a tiny little silver eve. And the things she sewed were so flimsy thin You could blow them away with a sigh. And she did all her journeying from her queer little well On a queer little crooked stick; And she took nice fruit to the other little fairies, Who were down with the mumps or were sick. And she did all her washing in a tiny little woshtub Made out of a walnut shell That she had found on one of her journeys Down to the Itottom of the well. And she did all her ironing on a tiny little iron lx ard Made out of a wee tooth pick. And she heated her iron on the wee little candle With the queer little guttering wick. And it keeps me wondering, this wee little fairy With her queer little elfin tricks. If there aren't other fairies just as wee and as funny Down in wells under bricks. Mary Mabry. INTRODUCTION Man.v times, dear readers, have you heard of the Freshman (they have seen to that) and ol the Seniors (they have had us see to that) hut never, no. never have you heard of us. the Juniors and Sophomores. the heretofore missing links. But at last opportunity (rare, rare word! and upon second thought (terhaps it was only an Annual editor!) knocked and we responded with our characteristic cheerful readiness and, though our essays arc a bit frolicsome and debonair, you must remember that it is Shake-s| carc. Washington Irving and Senior literati whom we are imitating, and that our attitude is smilingly inimitable. In the following paragraphs we have thrown away the inferiority complexes” SO generously given us by the Seniors. Here we are, txming very low, and asking you to be |xilitc enough to say. We arc glad to meet you.” because we arc more than glad to Ik: here. A JUNIOR CONSOLATION After all Seniors arc only Juniors plus a little bit of dignity and we Juniors, though vanquished by a superior dignity, among ourselves argue still and arc already U'ginning to look upon the Seniors if not with sympathy, at least without envy. Even now. they may perambulate our corridors with the broadest of grins spreading from ear to car. but we (having acquired a certain degree of wisdom, even though we arc not yet Seniors,! can see lievond those forced smiles and read in them only a brave effort to keep back the tears that want so much to come up on the slightest mention of graduation. Just remember. Seniors, that we don’t want your graduation citJicr. but oh! how we do look forward to Idling your places! And now. were it the privilege of such humble folk to indulge in scraps of philosophy, we might call to mind the facts that the great Spinoxa. that God intoxicated man”, ground lenses lor his livelihood and that the Stoic. Cleanthcs, carried water by night in order to attend school by day. At once, the analogy becomes evident, for have not we. who for three long years have looked up to other Seniors, olicying their every l«cck and call, at last come unto our reword? Already, clear Seniors, we have become self-conscious in our wisdom Like Napoleon, we feel that we can manage men. Our minds are pregnant with ideas—“our ambitions o’erleop themselves!” SIXTH SEMESTER EIETH SEMESTER FOURTH SEMESTER THIRD SEMESTER THIRD SEMESTER A SOPHOMORE FAREWELL Iwen hraoest hearts mat swell, la the hour oj Joint farewell An l thus, like modern Jeremiahs, we lilt up sonorous voices in lamentations. However, even as uc lie in the slough of despond, behold, “There is a lamp in the desert and. when all is said and done, young blood is quickly adapted to even the gravest losses. Your sun. () Seniors, which will soon have here its setting, will rise again afar. Come, get thee hence! Your departure (like the buying of a home) being eventually why not now.” Amidst our fears, we appropriately call to mind the words of the weeping philosopher. “All things flow; and realizing that it is impossible to bathe even once in the same river and that even our bodies change from day to day. we are reminded of the fact that when our summons comes, we too will take our places among the innumerable caravan of the Phillips Alumni. So farewell, our friends, and may Allah give you peace tomorrow “to fresh fields and pastures new ! ifnrrir Wood ____ Felix Rr .in . James Morrison .

The study of the different arts—the Art of Drawing, the Art of Building, the Art of Acting and the Art of Painting, together with various arts in other fields— and those who have attained perfection in each line were taken up in full detail. Probably the most inspiring of all our programs, however, was the one rend creel by Miss Barnet who told us of A Visit to the Ixmvre”, in so charming and gracious a manner as to be thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed by nil the club members and a large number of visitors.

She was a very powerful goddess for she was the Mother of all the Muses and, at her altars, did men from far and wide sacrifice. Today at Phillips, a group of fifty girls has formed a literary society w hich (waring her name, is founded upon her principles. As Mnemosyne was Mother of all the Arts, her club has at various times touched upon almost every phase of Art. Believing that everyone is interested in romance, and especially in the love affairs of outstanding men and women of history, the club selected ‘'Romance Through the Ages” as thisyear’stopicof study. This subject, along with other attractive features, has aided the Mnemosynean in realizing a most successful year and, surely, if present success is continued, the growth of our club in strength and prestige is assured.

This subject was dealt with comprehensively and. through manv delighttul programs, the club traced the history and development of drama, not only in England and America hut also in several countries uf Euroj and Asia. A study of the wierd productions ol the Russian stage of today proved very interesting and a program on Chinese and Japanese dramatics was also enjoyed by the club. The history of the English stage was taken up from the earliest dramatic productions, the Miracle Plays, and traced down to the present day. Incidentally, the lives of several famous English and American actors were studied in detail. The outstanding social event of the club year was a tea given in honor of the members w ho graduated in the January Class.

During the first semester, the subjects tor discussion ranged from Aviation and Snorts to Birmingham's Literary Lights and the Modern Stage: during the second semester, the time was devoted to a serious preparation for the International Oratorical Contest and the Intcrcluh Debate.

REVIEW 1927 IN ATHLETICS During tin year 1927 Phillips athletic teams were more successful, as a whole, than ever l cfore in the history of prep sport in Birmingham. Four county championships, a state title, a tic lor state title and a southern crown were all captured by Crimson teams during the past year. All four major teams, basketball, baseball, track and football, won the county championships in this quartet of competitive sports. There have l«een many tremendously successful athletic years at Phillips. Back in '25 Central captured the state title in football and baseball but the baskctled! team lost once to Ensley and YVoodlawn to knot the city race ns Phillips afterwards defeated those two quintets. State football championships and state b-iskcthall titles arc not novel honors for Phillips but a southern championship by a track team representing Phillips is something that has never before been won during the fifty odd years of this school’s history. It was. however, accomplished this year. In football this year. Coach I-ewis Dawson succeeded Coach Tucker as head coach. He won the admiration and love of the Ih vs from the outset with the result that one of t lie hardest fighting machines in sears wore the Crimson and White. Phillips lost many valuable men from their 192b machine, including Wingo. Cranford, Osliornc. Fisher. rilgrccn. Church. Reid. Sington and McNally. But Dawson set to work w ith a cheerful, do or die aspect that soon pervaded the boys and a line team trotted out on the field early in October to engage Huntsville in the lirst game of the season. Huntsville went down in defeat by a score of 26 to’O. Anniston fell next by 27 to.O. Then Gadsden angered the Crimson 'Fide and they were swept aside with a 58 to 0 defeat. Then came the annual brawl with Phillips' most ancient and hated rival, the Ensley Yellow lackets. The two teams were rated on an even basis liclore the game. Phillips kicked the dojic bucket over the grandstand in the lirst ciuortcr and proceeded to give the Gold and Black cohorts a sound 19 to 6 drubbing. Ensley‘s lone touchdown came as the result of a blocked punt. Woodlnwn, Phillips' ncvtcr downtown rival, but no less hated foe, was met the following week and licntcn by a score of 9 to 2 in a heated battle. The next game resulted in Pbilli| s‘ lirst defeat. Chattanooga Central l eal the Crimson at Chattanooga 26 to bon a muddy field. Failure o! the boys to concentrate on the seriousness ol the game cost Phillips the battle. Tuscaloosa, the national champions, sent Phillips to her second defeat by a score of 25 to 7. Then Phillips won from Bessemer in the final lilt of the year for the county title by a score of 12 to 7. It was a lairly successful pigskin campaign .... but there have been many, many more successful vears in football at Phillips and old Central. Plenty of material was on hand lor the team but most of it was incx| cricnced. to which, along with a lack of training, can lie attributed Pliilli| s' failure to cop state championship honors. Basketball licgan at Pliilli| s in January of 1927 with very excellent prospects of a championship quintet. Five varsitv men of the past season and several reliable substitutes were on hand. Phillips proved the easy master of all high school teams in the state in its early season contests, marching through to the state tourney in February without a defeat from a high school, with but one exception, Woodlnwn, a team that had been trimmed three times bv the Crimsons. Then in the state tournament Phillips. drew Wood lawn at their opening tilt of the big meet. With every thing to lose and nothing to win, the Crimsons entered the game under a terrific mental strain ami nervousness caused the defeat of one of the strongest teams that ever represented Phillips.. Phillips had previously won the district tournament with ease from an entry list of 24 high schools. During 1927 Phillips met and defeated the following teams on the hardwood floors: Howard Rats. Birmingham Southern Rats, Wood lawn, Simpson. Bessemer, Shelby County, Anniston and several others. It was a very successful season and a very hard break that the Crimsons lost their most important tilt to a team they had defeated three times. In track. Phillips staged a brilliant come-back, turning a mediocre athletic year into one of Phillips’ most brilliant in history, for the track squad captured the Southern cinder title at the Vanderbilt Invitation -Meet in Nashville late in April. Since it was coached by Doctor Cileen Gentry, it was evident from the outset that the Crimsons would put the finest track team in the history of the school on the cinder paths. For two months Gentry drilled the bovs before the opening meet of the vear. The Crimsons copjwd this initial meet for the City title from Wood I awn, Knsley, Simpson with convincing ease. The state meet followed and found the Crimsons hampered by injuries. In spite of this handicap Gentry's boys came through with a tie fur first place with Bessemer. Both Bessemer and Phillips entered the Southern meet at Nashville with the intention of establishing without a doubt which team was the state title holder. Phillips copi cd the meet with several point to spare. Tupelo Military Institute was second. Baylor thin! and Bessemer fourth. It was a brilliant climax to a brilliant season and the Crimson track warriors returned to the city in the greatest of glorv. Men who placed at Vanderbilt were Jimmy Vance, first in 400 dash; Posey, fourth in 100 yard dash: Welch, fourth in 880 run; lulius Bozeman, iirst in mile run; Roy Evans, first in broad jump and tic for third in high jump; Captain Taylor Smith, tic first in high jump, tic for fourth in pole vault: relay team (Turner, Posey, Vance, Welch), second place. The Baseball team proved the strongest in Phillips' history. The horse-hide tossers won every game on their schedule and copped the county and state championships. Coach Tucker guided the boys skillfully throughout and the record achieved by the Crimson lads was great. In closing this review, it is fitting that we record the names of outstanding athletes in the four branches of sport. Football: Chapman, Ariail, Conway, Goodwin and Sanford; Basketball: Heard, Chanman, Lunev, l.ikis. Sanford; Track: Bozeman. Welch. Smith. Posev, Vance; Baseball: Heard, Chapman Sington, Lunev, Sanford unci Shipley. THE “P” CLUB FALL TERM OFFICERS SPRING TERM Ben Chapman President Taylor Smith Jack Shipley Vice-President James Lott Taylor Smith Secretary James Dewberry In the late tail of 1927. several of the older lettermen of Phillips met and l cgan to plan the organization of an honor club lor the wearers of the P”. It wa decided t� v these men that a meeting would he called of all lettermen wearing two letters or more to form this institution. With surprising interest, the boys immediately set to work and soon a constitution was map|� cd out. officers elected and regular meetings held. The following men arc chartcr-mcmlient of the atlilctic organization: Ben Chapman, Jack Shipley, Taylor Smith. William Heard, Jack Sanford, James Lott, David Ariail, Ethridge Hydinger and Julius Bozeman.

Ji in Cooper. Wallace White. Jim Vance, Arthur Kirkby. Lewi Haster. Because the club was started late in the fall of the year programs were not arranged for the semester hut the difficult business of putting the club on its feet and starting things off correctly was attended to. The constitution and by-laws of the dub were approved. A plan for a club room was suggested. Sponsors were selected and numerous other things acted upon. With the dub now organized, the lettermen arc looking forward to a very successful season during the spring term. Many interesting programs will he given and outside matters that heretofore arc not given to the consideration of the boys, themselves, will l e taken into the cluh for discussion. In this manner, the boys plan to have a hand in the execution of the athletic System of the school. FOOTBALL CAPTAIN BEN CHAPMAN. Q. B. lily lien The husky handsome gentlemen pictured just to the reader's left is none other than Big Ben” Chapman, all-state halfback, and leader of the Phillips Crimsons during 1927. Chapman was a brilliant captain of a brilliant eleven and stood out as one of the best prep players ever produced in Alabama. Chapman made the mythical all-state eleven for three consecutive seasons. Ben graduated. WILLIAM HEARD. !!. B. Snake Here is the trickiest running back in the Crimson offensive department. Snake is just about everything his name might imply. He can weave, side-step crawl, hop-skip-and-jumn with the best backs in the state. He graduates ami with him goes a line cog of Phillips' l est backficld in years. JACK SHIPLEY.

Lott proved a valuable man last year and should l c a big star next season. J ACK SANFORD. END. Sandy Jack plavcil a steady, good game throughout the season and proved a constant threat because of his great work in receiving the aerial casts. Sanford may be back next year . . . the fans are hoping so because the Tide needs him. EARL GOODWIN. END.

DAVID ARIAIL, CENTER Andy Ariail was the tower of strength in the forward wall. The husky center was constantly breaking through and smearing rival plays ochind the line of scrimmage. His passing on the offensive was also nearly | crfcct. Ariad may return to try for another berth on the all-state eleven. Z. A. LANKY. TACKLE. Lancv played line football all year and very few1 gains were made over his side of the forward tortiti-cation. Eaney was elected alternate-captain i'or next season and great things are expected of the big boy ,as last season was his first year on the team. IA M ES CCX)PER, TACK LE. Jimmy Making up his lack of weight with pure bulldog aggressiveness Coojier proved one of the best linesmen in the fold. The blonde, wide-shouldered youngster should have a great season in 1928 and the fans arc for him. BASEBALL WALLACE WHITE. GUARD. Wile Wallace proved the l cst guard in camp and his great strength and tireless play proved invaluable to the Philli| s line in many games.

Hotter Lewis worked stcadilv all year and the boy would have l een lost without him to wrap ankles, get towels and perform countless other jobs. Hosier will be manager again next year and every gridder i glad of it. JAMES LLOYD, H. B. Jimmy Lloyd was the best blocker on the team last year and just about the neatest defensive back. For this reason he saw considerable service and always played consistently when called on. Lloyd graduated. TRACK DAVID THOMPSON. H.

The youngster has a great future and will be watched with interest next season. CHARLES HOSTER, Q. B. Cha Hie Hosier showed great prospects in the 1927 campaign and despite his small stature gave a very good account of himself in the games he pluved in. His performance against Bessemer surprised the tans. He'll be back working for a regular l crth next year. CHAMBLESS NORMAN. H. B.

In the days of our venerable forefathers, when life was that sweet and simple existence and rural pleasures predominated in village and city, certain days of the year stood out from the others as times for joy and merrymaking. The English May Day. for example, has come down in history, as one of the year's notable events. 'Twas then that the comelicsl maiden from all the country round was chosen as the fairest of the fair” and all the Imls and lasses of the village vied to do her homage. The stories of King Arthur and his court have been read and enjoyed by everyone. In those days it was customary for titles of honor to be bestowed on the most deserving. So down the long ages of times on times, this custom of elections and selections has come. King Arthur didn't exactly call the custom of dubbing his knights The Who’s Who Contest” but. nevertheless. the origin of our choice of who is to l c what and why is not so far different from those ol ancient times. The auditorium was hastily tilled that ap|K iutcd morning, when the fatal ballots were to l e cast. There were many whisj ers and suggestions as to who should l� e voted on for what. When at last the votes were in. that dreaded time of counting then came (longed for by the students, dreaded only by the counters). In some eases there was little trouble, for the candidate carried off the honor with little or no effort; whereas in others, the votes had to l� c counted ns many as three times to make sure of the results! After the votes were counted, the light hail only l� egun' for those poor innocents, who were the results” had to be literally dragged down and hauled out to the photographer. Di immortales ’. but those creature , were so young and bashful that they just couldn't lace the cruel camera! But. gentle reader, after much arduous strife and struggle, the deed was done , the pictures taken, so now. turn the page and judge our efforts. WEI, BORN MAR DIE To the students, who had known Welborn and worked with him. it came as no surprise t hat lie was unanimously elected the most popular and the handsomest bo.v in the entire senior class. HAZEL PIERCE The senior class was indeed of one mind about Hazel. She was elected the fairest of the fair and the most beloved” of all the seniors. This is the first year of the Who’s Who contest, that one girl has received both honors. I. N. HARBIN This honor was not carried off quite so easily as it would seem. Yet of all the votes cast, the name that led all the rest was that ol J. N. Harbin, with James Shipley running him a close second. RED” CORNELIUS The above pose has caused much discussion. The subject, himself, from various re|x rts. is not a person of so little importance. Robert was voted The Brightest Wandering Star”. The Cleverest Wit”, and The Most Versatile Boy . FAY PRESLEY This young lady is a person of many and varied talents. Nor is she without honor in her own school, for results show her voted The Most Versatile Girl.” Fay's musical and intellectual achievements have verified this decision. HARR IE WOOD Ars gratias artes”. Hnrric is an actor: Harrie is a painter; Harrie is a dancer; Harric is an Artist! Here is presented Our Most Artistic Senior”. BILLY GILES And next we meet Billy Giles, The Most Studious Student”. He carries w ith him the tools of his trade—or | crhn| s that is an obvious fact: anyhow, what Billy doesn't know, isn't l� cing known.” CHARLES ESTES That expression of angelic despair on Brute's countenance is due to the sun. He was voted the laziest”. It has Itecn said, however, that in this picture, lie really looks vitally interested in something or other. JACK LYLE Jack is the Biggest Bluffer”. However, if one listened in on the conversation of the extreme younger set , one would learn that Jack Lyle is the most 'angel' creature!” CLAUDE LEACH Claude was to lie frequently seen wandering purposely” around the halls of Phillips, during the fall term. Whether that alone earned him the reputation of ! cing the Biggest Pest” is to lie debated. That, however, is his title and there can l c varied discussion us to whether he is deserving of it. — MILITARY BULLETIN NO. 1 SEPTEMBER Preparation for war.

The lilt o! unseen music in the air—flow'ring jessamine—freshness—our senses are in tune with the blossoming roses. Now is come the youngest and yet the oldest time of the year. The pale moonbeams looped trom star to star arc silver poems, and each | oem is a new discovery to him who finds it. 1 he infant Apollo took pride in them, clapping his tiny hands, believing, as docs eternal youth, that they were created for him alone. Life lives lor the present—moonlight is eternal. The divine pnrjiosc ami nobleness is predominant. Earth is touched by a soft caress bestowing the blessing of happiness; serenity, the gift of Beauty, is tossed in a whirlwind of the whitest petals of white roses uj� on the night air. Star-kissed heaps of lilies arc our prayer offerings to Thee, 0 Giver of Beauty, lor one night stolen from thy countless number. THE OLDER GENERATION Being a true relation of divers persons in divers places, with some account of their accomplishments and successes, with brief mention of the fame they have brought to Phillips High School, and of the distinction that is ours in the possession of so notable a group of 'inters and brothers in the order ofthc alumni, let it l� c remembered that we have mentioned only a few of the number, and have earnestly attempted, by recounting the deeds of a part, to show how great has been the activity of the wh le. There first Comes to mind a lovely lady—name, .Mary Fabian—who came and sang to us and whiled away what would otherwise have l ecn a mighty wretched hour. And the while we listened to her pretty voice, we reflected u|k ii how pleasant it must l c to lie ranked ns a great prima donna and sing for royalty—and then go home and spare the students of Philli| s High School a miserable auditorium period. And while we were thinking of Mary, our thoughts turned to one somewhat like her Klise Sparrow Yawkev who played Titania and other nice roles in high school and then betook herself to New York where she l ccamc more famous still. Then there is another actress—Majoric Moore l-cakc—who is a most versatile person, having taught English and Latin and other things, and being a most gifted actress Itcsidcs. We have recently seen her in one of Mr. Szold's plays. The Bad Man , by name in which she played most excellently. Another Little Theater star u Lctitia McN’ccl. a most wondrous lady, who is now the head of her own private xchool and has six young pupils who have their desks arranged in her sun parlor and study all their lessons under her skillful guidance. And while we think of actors and others, let us l� c mindful of the distinguished Kthclrvd Lundy Sykes, who is not merely actor but songster, musician and man of affairs, generally. And thinking still of theatricals —for it is true we have many talented in such—let us not forget Louis Schillingcr, one of the most gifted of our group, whose work was cut short all too soon, and whose generous service to the Little Theater and all artistic activities should make all Phillipians keep him ever in mind when they recall the deeds of the alumni. Now let us cast our eyes upon some Celebrated medical men who have fame and honor ami renown. There arc the Harrison brothers, Tinsley and Gross, both of whom were such scintillating lights, such masters of Latin prose, so brave in the face of Math tests. Now they have gone on to greater tilings and each day brings word of some of their surgical activities. Or perhaps we would think of Lewis Woodson, the renowned specialist, or Joseph Hirscli, who carried out his life-long ambition and became a famous medico, or Hughes Kennedy, the well-known baby specialist, or any number of others. For truly, they are too numerous to l c mentioned. And for the live that we have here described, there arc no doubt one hundred and five whose names arc quite as distinguished. llicrc is Russell Smith, the poet, and erstwhile Ccntralilc, who betook himscll to the University of Alabama and there won renown as poet, teacher and journalist a man of manifold activities. And there is Margaret Lumpkin, a most intellectual maiden, who has won even more honors at Wellesley than she did in the days when she was the most brilliant girl in our famous school. There is also Paul Bowron, a much Iteloved Ceutral-itc, who has won scholarships and been admitted to honor societies and done other great things at Carnegie Tech. Too oft have we heard the name of Susan Cobbs to wonder what have Inrcn her achievements at Randolph-Macon where she was acknowledged among the foremost in all the activities «! her Alma Mater. We have heard, too, of the great things of another Susan—Porter, by name who studies at Goucher in the fair city of Baltimore and is active in student government and other college organizations. Tom Moore, who graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy; Ed ward Mohns. a promising young minister, holder of a scholarship: Max Lancaster, winner of a Howard scholarship: William Hamilton, honor man and member of varsity debating team at Birmingham-Southern,—these arc but the merest, most meagre few, of our great group of intellectuals. Nor do we lack for those who arc prominent in civic ami social affairs. The roll of distinguished men who grace our noble city is the roll of Phillips graduates Hugh Morrow. Samuel Earle. Walter I lenley. We have graduates engaged in as diverse activities as Sumpter Smith, who is the dignified president of the American legion to Elizolicth Agee who heads the list of the Spinsters' Club. Have we not the great Mr. Bob Baugh, winner of an Oxford Blue in his first year in England? And for other athletes, have we not such men as Harvey Williamson, John Bartlett, Molton Smith, Harry Holder, and Fred Sington? And as they go out on the field to play for their respective schools, we wonder if they do not think of the days when they played for Phillips while the stands sang The Crimson and White . The fact that out of the entire faculty of Phillips High School over twenty members arc graduate-of our high school, might be considered proof of its high merit and standing. Phillips sends her sons and daughters forth to various colleges and universities to obtain degrees and other incidentals of knowledge which are required. They return to take positions on the faculty and to serve their schools in another capacity. In their turn, they take up the struggle to instill n small amount of knowledge into the impenetrable brains of the students. It seems that no matter how high the honor and esteem attained in other fields, our alumni are always glad to take up their work in the Alma Mater. The Alumni have representatives in nearly every one of the numerous departments of our thickly populated school. The English department, however, heads the list. Miss Lynch, when interviewed on the subject, stated that the main difference in the methods of teaching used in the English depart ments of the present day and that of former times is the use of the anthology in favor of the old English text book. When requested to comment on the part she took in the activities of the school, though. Miss Lynch began talking about those of some of the other faculty alumni and refused to lie templed back to the subject. However, we found out that she was very prominent in Girl’s Glee Club and Eu-terpean work. Miss Merrill recalled the Shakespearean plays which used to be given each year, in connection with which we have heard so much of Mr. Going’s (another alumnus) portrayal of the character of our friend, Hamlet. The Senior year of Miss Williams, who was, hv the way. a charter member and officer of the Aslraca, was marked by the old Central lire. As to the secrets of the Latin and Math departments we were unable to obtain any information. Miss Faulk and Miss Moore are also faculty alumnae and Miss Norton attended Central two years, but obtained her diploma from the Ensley High School. The History department is represented by Miss Castle-man and Miss Montgomery. Miss Custlcman was valedictorian of her class uud a member of the Clio Literary Society. Miss Montgomery was at Phillips at the time the Pierian Literary Society was formed, and was selected from the Clio to l� c a Charter mcmlicr ol the Pierian. When we approached Mr. Keller, he stated that most of the things that happened during his high school career would not do to put into print. However he linally produced an account of a certain Arbor day celebration during his Senior year. 11 was the custom, it seems, for each class to plant a tree on the edge of the street to Itcau-tifv the block and. since Mr. Keller is able to identify the tree which his class planted, we feel that that is ample proof of the veracity of his account. There are others among the faculty who arc graduates hut being limited as to space. 1 can only ho|� c that this article has aroused your curiosity enough to make you inquire further into the matter and reveal other interesting incidents in the annals of Phillips. THE CITY With all her glorious strength the city calls me And flaunting her beauty she tempts me. I would make her pretty verses and flatter her That she might linger with me And perhaps tell me her strange secrets. But already she has found herself a new lover. With newer songs and fairer flatteries: But I can still watch her dance, though from ufar. And it may l� c wiser not to know her too well. OUR WISHES AND OUR THANKS A WISH I shut my eyes ami sighed. Ah me, If I could only l c ft tree Growing on some grassy hill Overlooking rock and rill. I'd learn the things I’ve yearned to know Of Heavens blue and Earth l� clow. I'd know the secrets of the sky From little birds in passing by. And as they'd wondrous tales unfold I’d shelter them from harm ami cold. Sometimes when Down was just awake I’d dip ray branches in the lake And learn all the tales I wish From the slender, silver tish. Just why brooks sparkle all day long, And where they got their pretty song. I’d watch the sleepy daisies nod. And with them I would worship God. Ah. if I could only l e Instead of a man, a tall, straight tree! —Nelwyn Huff. EUTOPIA it is wise to let our thoughts carry us far away To a land where men arc fair in work and fair in play, Where men arc merciful and trustful. Gentle, helpful, just and right. Cheerful when things go wrong. Happy in work and song. Oh! It is wise to let our thoughts carry us far away. To a land where men are fair in work and fair in play. Eleanor Lcitman. THE BEGINNING The first pale tint of silver gray. Steals o’er a sleeping world, Shadows of the silence Vanish softly, shamed by The glowing kiss of Dawn. Faint sounds are borne to us Like those of forgotten Spirits, smiling silently over Loved ones, who would fain Be gone e'er the morning star. Life pauses for a moment Hovering on the brink of Eternity, And then llows on — Day has won. Helen Brewer. THE TIMID IDEALIST The sea of life unceasing rolls, Its restless waves do idly close O’er phantom ships too light to bear The ideals that men dare not dare. —Inn is Caiman. THANKFUL For n sudden dash of bleeding crimson and bronze. Against grey, old clouds that all day Have hidden the sun with misty, clutching fingers. For pale skylines raised against a paler sky. Thrilled with a veiled strength. For the breath-taking l«cnuty of an Autumn day! All the gay glory of a thousand colors dashed on all the world. With a wild abandon, like some Cubist portrait For swift clouds, trembling in majestic battlements. Over a dull, storm swept sky. —Sara Chappcl YE PUBMCK PRINTS Faireind warm.
