T II E M I R R O R A cknowledgment Sing a song of school days. Taken on the run: Crammin'. diggin . boning— Isn’t school great fun! —Beulah Samples. Quiz Kids It is now time for the school kids' questionnaire, so everybody perk up your ears. Each of these quiz kids will be awarded a diploma by Phillips High School. Preliminaries are finished, so let's get down to business. Ready? Well, here we go. The first question was sent in by Doll Averett, who would like to know who Yehudi is. Does anyone know the answer? Oh. yes, Margie Billingsley, who do you think Yehudi is? The little man who wasn’t there. He flitted through the empty air: He was here and he was there That was Yehudi.” Very good, Margie. Now we have a question which comes from Lora Hill. She says. To be or not to be. that is the question. Yes, Mary Elizabeth Howard, what do you say? Definitely. to be!” Johnny Ann Graham sends this one especially for Jacqueline Biddle. Jacqueline, do you think it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Oh. you wouldn’t know, but you'll take Tennyson’s word for it. Well. kids. I guess it’s recess time, so relax for a while. Here’s one we've all had some experience with, but Marjorie Leigh is the only one brave enough to put it into words. How many times have you sat in class and longed for the bell to ring? Ruth Frey says if you take a number from one to ten. double it and add a million , you will have the approximate answer. Wait a minute until I put on my specks so I'll be able to read this one from Bill McLain. He asks if Odum-Bowers Blach’s Porter Rhodes-Carroll Chevrolet Carr Inn Newberry’s Lane. Wood Burger-Phillips or Pizitz Haverty with Martha Washington in Woolworth’s or Kresses'? Mary Howard says that Pizitz Wood Haverty with Martha Washington in Woolworth’s because Kresses’ doesn't have a luncheon counter. Juanita Bailey would like to know, Who is Sylvia? Martha Edge says she is the girl of her dreams. Sorry, kids, but you know what. The time is all gone so we'll call it quits for now. This is Blossom Harp dismissing all you Quiz Kids. So long until next time May you all know the right answers to all of life's questions. (29)

T 11 E M I R R O R LAMENT Tell me not in mournful numbers That my fate will always be Still to hear those words of Judgment “You passed your Trig' but on a D!” —Beulah Samples. Hit Parade of Outstanding Events Science, English. History, French, Geometry, Spanish. Geography. Shorthand. Physics, Law—sold to many Phillipians! Seniors! Ah! what a wonderful feeling that is. Of course, there have been many important milestones in our senior semester, but there are ten which are outstanding. Tenth place goes to that event on September 3. It was a very warm day: school doors swung open: tanned faces appeared at every doorway: and occasional gushes of wind indicated that someone had just dashed past on his way toward getting a schedule filled out. It was soon over, and the first day of our senior semester was gone. Number nine took place at the end of the first six weeks. The sun was sinking a little more toward the west, and the 3:05 bell rang. Report Cards! Looks of disappointment. sighs of relief, and cries of joy were evident in every senior session room. In eighth place are the second report cards. It happened on a beautiful day in late fall. We filed back into our session rooms. “Oh! I made it! I will graduate!” I really worked hard for that grade”, and similar remarks could be heard everywhere. Seventh place goes to that memorable event in every senior’s life the first senior class meeting. Are you graduating this time? Isn't it wonderful to be finishing? Whom are you going to vote for? ”1 think he'll make a good president. After much discussion and several meetings, officers were elected, motto decided upon, and flower and colors chosen. Yes. it is just as important as it ever was. It has been on the Hit Parade for many years and its popularity hasn’t died. Rings in sixth place will always be a popular item. Christmas holidays third place? No? Oh! fifth place? We did everything we could think of. We danced, we skated, we wandered listlessly around, chatted gaily over cokes, and had a merry, merry time. This will just have to have a place all by itself, because you see it really was an important event. In fourth place we have the New Year. We were gay. yes, very gay. and then very, very thoughtful. My. this is an important day. Just think IT happens this year. Just sixteen more days, in fact, and our high school careers will be over. The thought made us really sad at times. We did have a grand time. Why. don’t you remember when—Oh! you know the time and many, many happy memories crowded our minds. Number three—Invitations: They are very pretty. How many did you get? Isn't this grand? and all sorts of happy exclamations were called forth. Yes. I know these two are future hits, but very important; in fact, the most im- ( 30 )
