BEAN Bmw MINRKIII 11, 1885 Dian Drsesmneu 31, 1944 Principal of Phillips Grammar School - Ianuary, 1911 to December, 1944 The Class of 1945 declicates this issue of The Phillipian in loving memory to our beloved Principal of Phillips Grammar School, Lester F. Bean, always our true guide and loyal friend. 2 THE PHILLIPIAN ESTER F. BEAN, for more than thirty years Principal of Phillips Grammar School, passed away at his home in Phillips on Sunday morning, December 31. The entire community feels the loss of this faithful teacher whose influence upon the lives of its young people during this long period of years can never be measured. The scores of letters coming from all parts of the Country express the appreciation of his many boys and girls for the splendid founda- tion laid by him, which has meant so much in their higher education and -life work. Their accomplishments will ever be a monu- ment to him-his footprints in the sands of time. Mr. Bean received his education in the schools of East Bethel and was graduated from Gould Academy. His career as a teacher began when he was nineteen and continued for forty-one years of his life. The towns in Maine in which he had taught before coming to Phillips were Bethel, Wil- son's Mills, Princeton, Masardis, and North Vassalboro. 4 In his many years of service to Phillips he has had an almost perfect attendance record. Sickness and death in his family were his only excuses for absence. Here was a born teacher, an excellent disciplinarian-a man of sterling character. Mr. Bean has always taken a keen interest in the religious, civic, and social affairs of the community. The sentiments of Mr. Bean's boys and girls i' are expressed in the following: -Grammar School just doesn't seem the same to us 8th Grade boys and girls. We miss Mr. Beans welcoming smile and cheery Good morning, his distinct enunciation of words, his forceful It's all right this time but don't let it happen again. Yes, even his occasional well-deserved punishments which kept us in line. We find ourselves looking up even now half expecting to see him perched on a desk top, or leaning on the dictionary shelf, or softly approaching some unsuspecting fellow in the midst of his fool- ing. VVe shall be thankful all our lives that we were privileged to have him as our teacher two and a third years. We know the ground-work he gave us in Arithmetic and English will be of great value to us in our future studies. But more than from our school work we gained a thorough ground- work in good sportsmanship, fair play, and genial comradeship from Mr. Bean himself. How he despised a tattler or a fellow who would take advantage when his back was turned, and he taught us to dislike these things, too. VVe basketball boys miss his sitting in on our meetings. He was always so happy when we won. But win or lose, good sports- manship was what he wanted most from us. Now we wish he might be here to rejoice in our record so far this season, winning five out of six games. How proud he would have been of 'L his boys. Many of you were his boys, too, and you know just how we miss him here in P. G. S. I'm sure you will join with us in saying, U Mr. Bean was a good teacher, a good sport, and a good friend to all.

European countries had been en- gaged in a great war for more than two years, but we could not believe that would have any great ellect upon us so many miles away. We have learned much about war since Pearl Harbor. The older boys were called into the service. But even then we could not realize how war would have much eflect 4 THE PHILLIPIAN upon our class. We were so young! But we soon learned that it was the youth of the nation that was needed. School began to seem different. War time courses were offered and many of our school activities were curtailed or else dropped alto- gether. A physical fitness program was started and many of our class joined up with the State Guard. We were called upon to help man the observation post, help in civilian defense work, buy bonds and stamps, and contribute to the Red Cross and U. S. 0. Ours was the first class in school to lose a member because of the draft. We were only Sophomores when the First boy, El- wood Campbell, entered the United States Army. Gradually, one by one, eleven boys from our class have entered the armed forces. For the past few months only six of us have been left to carry on here in Phillips for the class of 1945. Our greatest aim is to do all we can to bring you boys and girls, who are gallantly fighting in the battle for freedom, home as soon as possible. The untimely death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Georgia, on April 12, shocked our nation and the en- tire world. He was the First man in the history of our nation to be chosen president four times. When first elected in l932, our country was suffering the worst depression it had ever known, and he became the champion of the common man iust before Pearl Harbor. He prepared the United States for the long struggle against despotism and helped Churchill and Stalin chart a course for a permanent peace. His fight against the affliction of infantile paralysis since 1921 has been universally re- garded as a remarkable example of courage. Gamely he fought until finally he was able to walk with steel braces and' crutches, later he used a cane. He permitted his birthday to be used for celebration throughout the country to raise funds to help sufferers from this terrible disease. Abroad, as at home, our late President was the friend of the underprivileged and the oppressed. The smaller nations especially counted Roosevelt as their champion. President Roosevelt gave his life in the service of his country and the world at large. His inHuence is certain to be felt on inter- national developments in the immediate future. CHARACTER ' Character is the ladder to success. Its rounds are the ideals and aspirations of youth. Everyone knows the need of a good character in all fields of work. It is an essen- tial of success. It is what we are, not what people sometimes think we are. It is diffi- cult sometimes to avoid the snares of life, but one with a strong character always comes safely along dangerous paths, and his efforts are crowned with success. In this war, the world's greatest war, the great men who have commanded the battalions and the fleets have been men of strong minds and noble character. Their influence has strengthened the characters of millions of our young men, their devotion to duty has influenced the whole world. May we as students be fearless and culti- vate a straightforward integrity, a requisite of good character, and may we keep our honor unsullied by 'any unworthy word or action. For education in its true sense means character building.

We felt very old and wise as we watched the freshmen entering high school for the first time. We well remembered the pranks the upper classmen played on us. Now it was our turn, On October lmtb the Annual Freshman Party was held at the Grange Hall, and a jolly good time was had by all. The fresh- men, wearing bran sacks, green ribbons and ties. marched into the hall and enter- tained the Lipper classmen with many stunts, songs, and dances. Following the initiation the orchestra furnished music for a social and dance. Two weeks later the freshmen won the Crowell contest and, much to our disgust, they had us back at the Grange Hall doing their stunts. They remembered every stunt which they had ever heard or seen, and we warn next year's freshmen to watch out for this class next fall. We have been interested in all school ac- tivities and wish we might have had more contests with other schools. Feralyn, Frances and Gloria represented our class on the basketball, softball and track VVho all the time from day to day THE PHILLIPIAN 11 teams. Bob and Bill made the basketball team and plan to take part in track this spring. A We chose for our class play, Down in the Heart of Texas.

Morgan THE PHILLIPIAN I3 SCHOGL GTES WAR STAMPS VERYONE here on the home front is doing his bit to help get this war over as soon as possible, and Phillips High School is not to be outdone. Students from the school have bought war stamps quite regularly at the Post Office, but it was thought that an increase in sales could be made if the stamps were brought to school. This proved quite true, for after the post- master began to.come regularly every Tues- day he reported a great increase in the sale of war stamps. . CROWELL MAGAZINE DRIVE The school was glad to welcome Mr. Kempton again this year. In his usual en- tertaining way he presented A the 1944 Crowell plan, and organized a ten-day com- petitive drive of subscriptions between the freshmen and upper classmen. At the close of the drive the losers agreed to entertain the winners. The freshmen won the contest and certainly had a lot of fun with the upper classmen at the annual party. The school netted one hundred dollars which was turned over to the U. S. O. again this year. Our school contributed eleven per cent of the Phillips, Madrid and Avon quota. THE ORCHESTRA After the loss of our orchestra and band leader, Mr. Knowles, we missed our music keenly until the opening of the '44-,45 term of school. Since then our school orchestra has been very successful under the supervi- sion of Mrs. Hilda Steward. lt consists of four violins, two trumpets, two clarinets, one saxophone, two trombones, and a piano. It contributed a number of selections at the one-act plays, and furnished music after the junior play for a short social. It also par- ticipated in a musicale at Alumni Hall. Since the orchestra is composed largely of members from the lower classes, and be- cause the incoming freshmen will be a help, it should be a thriving organization for some time. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club had a fine time last year, and boasted of many members, but this year P. H. S. was pleased to find that many of the freshmen were going to join. This swelled the membership list to 28, a thing of which we are extremely proud. At the three one-act plays groups of the club added greatly to the programs, and much of the musicale was composed of members from the Glee Club. At present it is preparing for Commencement Exercises. The success of the organization and the contributions of this activity must certainly be attributed to the labor of Mrs. Hilda Steward, pianist, and Miss Page, and to them we extend our grateful thanks. MUSICALE On February 9th the Glee Club and or- chestra presented a recital at Alumni Hall. Much time was spent in preparation, but the result was well worth those hours of labor.

Schwenson, soloist, and lean Thompson, accompanist. Miss Schwcnson opened the program by singing The l.ord's Prayer. after which she sang a number of selections from light opera. There was a short interlude when lean rendered a piano solo. Our soloist then continued with pop- ular pieces until her time was completely taken up. Miss Schwenson comes from Canton, Ohio, has attended Westminister Choir Col- lege for two years, and is now a student at VVheelot'la School, Boston. CHAPEL SERVICES This year Holy Week came during our spring vacation, and it seemed that we would not be able to hold our annual serv- ices.

Miss Lucille Toothaker, Rev. VV. H. H. Taylor. Rev. Roy Clark. Mrs. l-yman Wheeler. and our former teacher. Mr. Carlisle. gave short talks each morning during the week at the school- house. Several ol' the students took turns reading the scriptures, and the Glee Club rendered a selection the last day. loline Richmond and Marjorie Gould shared the responsibility of program planning and ac- companiinents. The grammar school joined us each day, so there was quite a delegation to sing hymns. MEMORIAL SERVICE Friday afternoon. April I3, the high and grammar school students assembled in the high school room to pay tribute to the mem- ory of our late President. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After several appropriate musical numbers and the reading of the tenth Psalm. Rev. Taylor was introduced. ln a few well- chosen words Mr. Taylor reviewed the life of Mr. Roosevelt. especially the last twelve years as President 01' the United States. Three great problems confronted the Pres- ident during these years: First. the depres- sion. which ended as we prepared for war: second. 'wVorld VVar ll: and finally. the unit- ing ol' all nations in a lasting peace. lt seems a tragic thing that Mr. Roosevelt could not have lived a little longer and seen the end of the European war and attended the peace meeting which was his ideal. THE THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS VVe were indeed grateful to be able to present the one-act plays in the Alumni Hall this year. although it necessitated a short wait while the building was being repaired.

Afterward, they interviewed those in high school who felt that they might want that schooling, or wanted to teach in future years. FROM ETHIOPIA During the spring session we were glad to welcome Dr. Cremer of Colorado, who had been in Ethiopia for five years. Dr. Cremer spoke about the Ethiopian people and their customs. One very peculiar cus- tom was, he said, that one had to be ex- tremely careful about complimenting the natives on their personal effects, their furni- ture, their animals. 'If ,you should say, How beautiful your horse is, he would say, lt is yours. But there is a hitch in that. .One would almost think he would get rich if he went about complimenting Ethi- opians, but these same fellows come along to your house as soon as you get their things moved, and compliment you on your belong- ings fonce hisj. Consequently you have to give back those things to the original owner. Another strange custom is their way of greeting friends. When two friends, who have not met for a long time, happen to see each other, they rush up, throw down their bundles, clasp hands, and rub noses. The Ethiopians are very poor and their standard of living is very low. But they do not want white people or improvements. CLASS OF 1895 Fifty years ago Lillian Sweetser Sedgeley and Albert Sedgeley graduated from Phil- lips High School. They were the only two members of that class. These two graduates will not be with us in Iune. But this fifty year class will not be forgotten at our Grad- uating Exercises. The relatives of Albert Sedgeley, in mem- ory of the Class of 1895, plan to present to the school a beautiful walnut tablet, 'where we may place the names of all of you boys and girls who are fighting for the Land of Our Hearts. We wish to thank the Sedgeley family for this gift. V-E DAY SERVICE V-E Day was a day of prayer and thanks- giving for the people of Phillips. There was no celebration, all work went on as usual, hut all felt relieved to know that the bloody war in Europe had ended. A community meeting was held at Alumni Hall in the evening. The P. H. S. orchestra played several selections. The meeting opened with the Doxology followed by the pledge to the flag. Rev. Clark then read a fitting scripture and led us in prayer. After the singing of America accom- panied by the orchestra, Mr. Ellicott, Com- mander of our Legion Post, introduced Wal- ter Toothaker. Mr. Toothaker spoke about the different wars in which the United States had been engaged, and how they had given us freedom and unity, that this 'war must be ended by a lasting peace for all countries of the world. The next number on the program was a duet by Ioline Richmond and Marjorie Gould. They sang The Marineis Hymnfl At this time the orchestra rendered another selection. Mrs. ' Olive Thompson read an excerpt from the Reader's Digest about a boy 'who was visited by his father in the front lines, after which Marjorie Gould sang My Buddy. The audience ioined in singing America the Beautiful 'i followed by re- marks by Rev. Clark. Mr. Clark explained very clearly why he did not expect that Hitler could ever have been a world ruler, although he cggldf and did cause many tragedies and heartaches. Everyone rose to sing our national anthem and continued with choruses of old war songs like, lt's a Long, Long VVay to Tip- perary, Keep the Home Fires Burning, Over There, and Till VVe Meet Again,', until it was time to go and the service was concluded by the Benediction. In the forenoon the students were called back into main room at 9 o'clock. A radio had been installed and for the next period we were glad to have the opportunity to lis- ten to the speeches of President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill. R1 JYS' I4.XSRli'l'I4.'Xl.l.

Both teams showed lack of practice, but the game was close, Wilton winning 25-23. Next we played two games with Strong and one with Rangeley, and still with no place to practice. Both Strong and Rangeley. looked good against our inexperienced team. A few nights before the Kingfield game we practiced in our hall for the first time. At Kinglield we were out ahead 9-7 at the end of the first quarter, and the score was 13-ll at the half. But we were unable to stop the fast breaking Kingfield forwards in the second half and we lost another game. Our second game with Wilton was close, but Wilton' was just a little better. We played better basketball against New Sharon and Stratton, but were unable to break the jinx that had followed us all of the season. Coach Toothaker and the boys worked hard to develop a winning team. It was no one's fault that our building was condemned, and that we could not start until lanuary l0th. But it was hard luck for us. A vet- eran team might win games without much practice, but an inexperienced team should certainly have several weeks of practice be- fore the season starts. VVe are losing Ross, Hardy, Beal, and Moore. But with several good players enter- ing in the fall, and an early start, we should have better luck another year.

We still hope to play a few games. YVe have not had track in school for sev- eral years. Some of the schools are trying to revive this sport. There will be a County meet at Farmington May 19th, and some of the boys plan to enter. W. D. GIRLS' SPORTS Basketball At our first practice early in December we were told that for the first five weeks all practice would be in the small Scout Hall, and all games for that time would be away from home. That meant it would be the middle of january. before we could hope to play in our own gym. VVe played our first game with the Wilton second team at Wilton. It was the first game for the most of us and we were all very nervous. Hut early in the second half we took theglead, and proved at the end of the game we were just a little better than the XVilton girls. VVe lost our next four games, two to Strong, one to Kingfield, one to Rangeley. After these games our gym was ready for use and we started regular practice. The team improved fast. VVe won six of the last nine games played, and we were playing our best basketball at the close of the season. After winning our last game with lay there was just one thing our girls wanted more than anything else, and that was an- other game with Strong. We were all de- 20 THE PH lighted when Strong asked for a practice before their championship game at Farm- ington the following week. At the end of four periods we were leading, and then we continued to play for another hour and one half with -the Hnal score 72-71. We have enjoyed our basketball, and feel that we have had a successful season. With only two regular players back from last year's team, and a very late start, we won seven games. We are already looking for- ward to next year with our whole squad back for another year. Strong and Rangeley tied in the North Franklin League and finally decided to play for the championship in our hall. The game was close with Strong finally winning. ILLIPIAN could hardly wait for the hall to be repaired so that we might start practice. Finally, the hall was completed, and 21 boys turned out for our first practice. A A week later, our coach, Newt Tooth- aker, picked out a team and we went to Kingtield to play Kingfield Grammar School. This was our first game and we were afraid that we could do little against the much larger Kingfield team. But to our surprise, and joy, we came out victorious with a score of 36 to 20. Dodge piled up 18 points, and T oothaker got 10 points. A few nights later we went to Stratton. We had a very good game and were tied at the end of ton beat us the regular four quarters.

But after two weeks' practice, we decided to give up softball and enter a team in the track meet to be held in Farmington, May 19th. It is hoped that all schools in Franklin County and Kents Hill will be represented at this meet. No girl now in school has ever taken part in track. But we are practicing each day and having a lot of fun. We hope that some of our girls may win a few points. The events scheduled are: 50 yd. dash, 75 yd. dash,'standing broad jump, shot, base- ball throw, basketball throw, and relay race. A H. B. P. G. S. TIGERS For two years we have felt that 1945 would be a big year for us in basketball. We This was our only Dodge was high man with ll points. Our next game was at Farmington, where we won an easy game with a score' of 20-ll. Dodge was high scorer with 10 points. When we went to Rangeley our tall, Hrst team guard, Basil Rollins, was sick. The game was close and Bob Dodge scored the winning basket in the last 10 seconds. The score was 20-19. Toothaker was high point man with 9 points. Our first home game was with Farming- ton. The Farmington boys were no match for our much larger team and we won 31-18. Toothaker and Dodge had ll points each. Our next home game was with Rangeley. Vile played 'without Dodge, and won 28-20. Toothaker was high man with 12 points and Kendall Heath a close second with 9 points. Our final game before the tournament was at Strong. We got an early lead and kept it throughout the game. The score was 23-12. We had a very successful year, winning 8 games out of 9. In many of the games our second and even our third team played. We are losing our first team and five sub- stitutes this year. But we hope that P. G. S. will have a fair team next year. We appreciate the time and effort that our coach, Newt Toothaker, has given, we feel he deserves a lot of credit for our success. Mr. Bean always took a great interest in our school activities, and we feel sure he THF l'lill.I.lPlAN 21 ' GR,-XMMAR SCHOOL BASKli'l'IiAl.l. BOYS Front row. left to right: Weymouth.

The afternoon games were decided hy a draw, Rangeley and Kingfield playing at two o'clock. and Stratton and Phillips at three. The Rangeley-Kingfield game was close all of the way, hut Millluury. with his long shots. finally won the game for Rangeley 25-22. The second game was an easy win for Phillips. Although heaten hy Stratton ear- lier in the season we had no trouble holding the lead on our own floor. Our second and third teams played the last period. The final score was 32-lg. Toothalier was high point man with 12 points. .Ns a result of these two games Stratton and liingheld were to play for third place at seven o'clock in the evening. and Rangelcy and Phillips were to play at eight for the championship of the tournament. ln the first evening game Stratton was no match for the hig Kingheld team. Kingheld took an early lead and held it throughout the game. finally winning 38-18. This gave Kingheld third place in the tournament. The championship game was the most ex- citing game of the tournament. Phillips held a small lead throughout the game. Dur- ing the last quarter the game got rather rough and spectators very excited. We came through and won the first North Franklin County Grammar School Tournament with a score of l7-l-l. High scorers for the tournament were Sim- mons of liingfield. 37 points: Millhury of Rangeley. 255 Toothalter of Phillips. 193 S. lillis ol' Stratton, l8g Atwood of liingfield, I7. No all tournament team was chosen, hut we feel sure that if one had heen, Millhury, Toothalier.

VVe love our Hag. each and every one of us, not only for its beauty, but for what it rep- resents. Land of our Hearts! A free land - free from want, free from fear, free to worship and to speak. Land of our Hearts, where the feet of the aggressors do not tread, where our flag waves in the breeze, a breeze untainted by falling bombs. Land of our Hearts, America! America, that boys from this school, from the class of 1945, are fighting for. VVe have reason to be proud of our coun- try, proud of its size, its resources, its people, its government. XVe like our way of life, a way of life based on freedom for all. When we read stories of conditions in cer- tain of the countries in Europe we realize anew that we would fight to the last man to keep America, American. Before Pearl Harbor, we were very poorly prepared for war. Why? Because America is not an aggressor nation. We are slow to fight. In one day-less than a day after Pearl Harbor we were changed from a peace lov- ing, easy-going people to a people eager to iight, maddened, ready to do anything to avepge that sneak attack by the japanese. Looking back it is hard to realize how fast we got into gear. In almost no time at all we had an army, a navy, and an air corps- not just adequate. but superior. Our factories were changed overnight from peace time production to war time production. Isn't a country that can do a thing like that worth lighting for? So again I say that we are proud to pre- sent the stars and stripes, representing a free people, a free land - the Land of our Hearts. Frank Beal E, the Class of 1945, are glad to wel- come you, parents, teachers, friends and relatives, members of the school board, and our superintendent, to our last gathering as members of Phillips High School. We realize that through the years of our school- ing you have helped to guide us and have taken an active interest in us and our prob- lems. We appreciate this and welcome you, one and all, to these graduating exercises. VVe have chosen for the title of our grad- uation program, Land of Our Hearts. Probably never more than now have we been made to realize how much this land of ours means to us: how very dear it is to our hearts. We look around us-our buildings stand tall and straight. We scan the sky- the planes we see are ours -we watch them out of sight, admiring their beauty and their speed. There is no one here tonight who has not, in the slight degree possible, pictured the terror that has reigned through long years in the European countries - the falling bombs, the smoking ruins, the death, the destruction. There is no one here who does not realize that without our mighty army, our navy, our marines -all branches of the armed services -our land, too, might be in the hands of our enemies. With full hearts we thank God that our land has been spared. Today Phillips, Avon, and Madrid have a total of 227 boys and girls in the armed forces. We are proud of them and will back them to the limit until peace is declared. There is so little that we at home can do for them! But we can express our apprecia- tion and gratitude, and that is what our class wishes to do tonight-pay tribute to the boys and girls of Phillips who have kept America the Land of Our Hearts. Marjorie Gould THE PHILLIPIAN 23 THE UNITED STATES MARINES OMEVV HERE in the South Pacific three lapanese landing barges approach the shore of a tiny island. On the shore, 50 feet from the water's edge, wait two Marines about 19 years old, a machine gunner and a loader. The rest have gone inland to make their stand. The laps make their landing. The ma- chine gunner waits till the leader is 12 feet from the muzzle of his gun, then opens fire. These laps never went back. They were killed to a man by this gunner of the United States Marine Corps, who was found by his mates, dead, his fingers tightened on the trigger of his gun even in death. 'This is but one of many examples of hero- ism performed by the U. S. Marines. . You will find the Marines everywhere. They sail the seven seas, guard the shores of the United States, and go wherever else Uncle Sam needs them. The U. S. M. C. was first organized in 1775. Since then they have played a very important part in all the big and little wars of our country. They are a rapid moving, quickly mobilized body of men, pledged to serve their country anywhere and under any condition. In the course of its 169 years of existence, the Marine Corps has developed many fine traditions. The Marine emblem, for example, is not just a pretty trinket. It symbolizes Leather- neck employment. It explains in a glance that Marines take active parts in engage- ments on land, at sea, and in the air, hence the combination of the eagle, the anchor, and the hemisphere. The appellation Leatherneck relates to the Marine uniform. The fact that Marines in early days wore a black leather stock gave rise to a name that has been current for many generations. The Marines are, in fact, hard boiled, but only when their mission requires it. In the present war the Marines are mak- ing history again. They are the fellows who travel to the out of the way battlefronts, the Marianas, Saipan, Tarawa. I don't need to recount the retaking of these places lost to the laps. There isn't one of us here who hasn,t read about it and rejoiced. The class of 1945 wishes to express appre- ciation tonight to the boys of Phillips who help make the U. S. Marine Corps .the won- derful Hghting unit that it is. In all we have had four boys in the Ma- rine Corps. To those four boys, the class of 1945 wishes to pay tribute tonight. To Harvey Lovett, killed in action on Guadal- canal, to Tommy Thompson and Malcolm Hardy who were recently discharged, and to Azel Campbell, somewhere in the Pacific. Corydon Hardy TRIBUTE TO THE NAVY N the days before Pearl Harbor, when we thought of the Navy, we thought of glamour, adventure, of seeing the world. Today the thought of the Navy brings en- tirely different pictures to mind. Perhaps we see a convoy zig-zagging its way across the Atlantic carrying badly needed supplies to our fighting men. Or maybe we see the men of the Coast'Guard patrolling our shores on the lookout for submarines or spies. Or the Seabees, or the Merchant Marine. For all are branches of the United States Navy. On December 7, 1941, at 7:55 a. m., there arrived at Pearl Harbor 135 lapanese planes, to rain destruction on the most beautiful targets ever offered an aerial bombardier. Anchored side by side, without steam up, lay a long line of United States warships. VVhen those 155 lap planes left, half the battleships in the entire United States Navy were either sunk or rendered powerless for months to come. It was an awful blow and dearly we paid for it. But soon new ships were slipping off the ways-and more-and more, until again we took our place as a great naval power. 24 THE PH Who transports our troops to foreign shores? The Navy. Who carries supplies to them and to our allies? The Navy. Who makes it possible for us to help our allies? VVho guards our shores? The Navy. The class of 1945 wishes tonight to'pay tribute to the 33 boys and girls from Phillips who are serving with the United States Navy, and special tribute to the boys who, if they were not serving our country, would be receiving their diplomas with us tonight -- Mahlon Ross and Everett Caton. Carmond Moore TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES ARMY AND THE ARMY AIR CORPS ROM the time of the Revolutionary War to the present time the army has played its heroic part in our history. ln the year 1940, before Pearl Harbor, we had a moderately small standing army. Now we have an army totaling over 8,000,000 men and women, the various branches of which are fighting together in one great unit, the like of which the world has never known. A very important branch of our mighty army, and one which appeals greatly to the youth of the nation, is the Army Air Corps. Ask any boy of grammar or high school age what he plans to do when he gets older and without a moment's hesitation he will say, loin the Air Corps. And no wonder. The fiier's life is full of glamor, thrills, danger. Death and destruc- tion to the enemy! The saving of a life for our friends! All through the Army Air Corps. A Somewhere we'll find you is the official motto of a group of mercy fliers organized to save the lives of American air men forced to bail out in enemy territory. It is no easy motto to live up to, for sometimes this group of fiiers has to cover territory where no white man has ever before set foot. A certain Captain Spruell, a medical offi- cer with the rescue unit, was aboard a mercy plane, when word was received that a C-47 had crash-landed in the Himalayas after a lap attack, and the engineer had a broken ILLIPIAN back. XVithout hesitation Spruell bailed out over the wreck, strapped the engineer's back, hired native stretcher bearers from a nearby village and personally led the party on a perilous three-week journey over the moun- tain passes back to India. Such incidents as these make us proud of our army and proud of the 182 men and women of Phillips who help to make it the great organization that it is. We pay special tribute to Leslie Adley, Elwood Campbell, Richard Stinchfield, Vinton Kennedy, Ger- ald Corson, Floyd Norton, Lawrence Kelley, Glendon Smith and Leon Works of our own class. Delvine Vose VALEDICTORY - I THE YOUTH OF AMERICA N the days before the war, Phillips, like other towns, was a thriving center of business. Saturday nights many cars lined Main Street, and every day countless num- bers of cars and trucks went to and from this town. Garages did an enormous business. Gro- cery store shelves and refrigerators were well stocked. One could see at almost any time during the day a crowd of loafers, older boys as well as high school boys, collected in front of the post office or barber shop. War, cruel war, has changed all this! Ex- cepting for an occasional truck or car, Main Street is so quiet that every day seems like Sunday to a passer-by. ' Our class, more than any other, has felt the effect of this war! While we were soph- omores, the first boy from our class, Elwood Campbell, was drafted. Since then eleven boys who would have graduated tonight have been called into the armed forces! During those carefree days before the war, we young people thought only of pleasure outside of school hours. The serious side of life never occurred to us. Boys fiocked to the bowling alley and pool room, and we girls were making plans for dances. Our elders called us soft-and we were. THE PHILLIPIAN 25 This war, with all its heartaches, has done much toward strengthening the character of the youth of the Nation. With the young men gone to war we who were left were faced with new duties and responsibilities. Most of the boys who were old enough ioined the Home Guard. They, too, wanted to do their part to win the war. There was the metal scrap drive, the young people doing their part and earning enough money to buy the chairs for this Community Building, as well as helping the war effort. Young people have learned to save, too. It is astonishing to see how much the school children have put into the war effort, through war bonds and stamps. We've also learned to work. We've had to. We've wanted to. And work is a good character builder. Children and teen-agers, far from being liabilities, have become the nation's greatest assets. Clean, healthy, serious-minded, young Americans are now growing to manhood and womanhood in the shadow of a tragic world conflict. The challenge of the war has brought out the best and noblest in our boys and girls. To predict what will happen to the char- acters of the boys who are in the armed serv- ices is impossible. We who have remained at home, away from the bombs and other horrors of war, can have no conception of what they have been through. It is safe to say, however, that they will take life more seriously than they did before. If this war has made us strong, let's'see to it that we stay strong, let's fight for the right always- not only in battle, but in our daily living- and be a credit to those who fought and died for us. fTribute to the boys who will not returnj The class of 1945 wishes to pay tribute to- night to those who have made the supreme sacrifice during this war: Harvey Lovett, Melvin Prescott, and Hartley Fairbanks, who fought and died that we might keep the four freedoms in this, the Land of our Hearts. ln the words of Lincoln, we pray that these dead shall not have died in vain -that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earthf' fFarewell Speechj Tonight marks the end of one phase of our lives and the beginning of another. Tonight we realize as never before the re- sponsibilities we must shoulder-responsi- bilities to ourselves, to our school, to our nation. Probably we shall never know how many times during this great war we have come near to losing our country, our America. The thought gives us pause. It makes us, the class of 1945, determined to do our ut- most to keep this land of our hearts, the land of the free! Superintendent and School Committee: VVe are especially indebted to you for your hearty encouragement and support. You have labored most earnestly for the benefit of our school and we wish to express our gratitude and thanks. Teachers and friends: VVe are unable to render compensation to you for your zeal and faithfulness. But as you have been faithful to us, so will we be faithful to others. With a deep sense of our obligations to you, and of gratitude for the ability, zeal, and care which you have ever exercised in our behalf, we, one and all, bid you a kind farewell. My classmates: As we linger for a moment around the altar of friendship to enjoy the pleasant recollections of the past, we hardly realize our school days are ended. Outside of these walls, which kind parents have thrown around us, are engaged a band of workers, earnestly striving to promote the four free- doms and the welfare and the happiness of the human race. Let us resolve to discharge fully the obligations we owe to parents and not disappoint their expectations. With the noble purpose that is born of true genuine- ness of character, and that inflexible deter- mination which knows no failure, let us pass out the gate that now opens and enter into the field of life's active duties. Classmates, tonight marks the parting of our ways. Never again shall we meet as a class, but wherever you go, whatever you do, may the best of luck be with you always.

Our precious boy that once we held So gently on our knee, We little thought. that some day he Would sail the deep blue sea. We had not thought of losing him, New hope came with the dawn, VVhen all at once he got his Call And our only son was gone. I remember well those tears that fell As I kissed my boy good-byg But he was brave all through' it all And never heaved a sigh. He said he would come back again And for him I should never yearn, But a voice inside was saying Your'son will never return. Then they sent him on ll mission, I had feared this from the start, Then from Uncle Sam I got a letter, It was this that broke my heart. My precious son had done his part And now his time had come: He had tried to save our country Hut the laps must have their fun. But I will keep my courage up And my heart will Fill with ioy, When I Find that I have done some deed For some other mothers boy. M. Dunham 28 i THE PHILLIPIAN if News Sheet for the Boys in the Service ik I 15th ISSUE Hello Boys: I count it one of the greatest hours in my life to write my bit to you boys in the school PHu.1.rPIAN. It is now the last of April. The grass is green, the trees are leaving out and the two grand old mountains-Blue and Saddleback -are responding to the kiss of springtime. A few of the boys have been up to the Lake fishing. Dr. Worcester and his new wife fl know you boys will like her, and son, Russell, got a fine catch up there the other night, but I found out that Rus and the Mrs. caught them. But the Doctor had a nice tall story of how he caught them. Don't you believe him. Rus and the Mrs. caught those fish. It is quite laughable to see Bill Kelley, Hartley Kenniston and Elwyn Webber limp around all winter, but, Boy, as soon as the ice goes out they get kippy right away. They are always telling what wonderful fish- ing it is on Sandy River Pond. Yes, but last summer after one of their trips I took a look. VVhat did I find? A fourteen-inch sucker! Phillips is like an old garment that is threadbareg like a tree that has lost its foli- age. For when you boys left, the heart and soul of the old town went with you. And to one who has been in a position to watch the transition it makes one heartsick to re- alize to what extent an outlaw Nation--I did not say Hitler -I said Nation, can make the entire world threadbare. I sure reioice with Europe and I know you boys ioin in with me as we see the last struggle of the dying beasts. My only hope is that they will have to suffer as their slaves suf- fered. I hope you boys who are lucky enough to be living will help to fill that cup of suffering to overflowing. Yes, boys, Phillips is threadbare because the boys we love are not here. God speed the day when through your presence the old town will ring again with shouts and laugh- ter. Yes, boys, the old town is threadbare because we, the people, were too busy and too dumb to heed the alarm while there was yet time. But I am certainly glad that Ger- many and lapan are getting just what they asked for. The only thing that makes our hearts threadbare is the price you boys must pay. V However, some day in the near future our hearts will rejoice when Smut Hoyt or Ray Kinney, or someone else, flashes the glad news, They are coming home. Heads up, boys, and may the blessings of God tarry with you. THE House OF SERVICE AND Iuvr, THE BARBER. Greetings, Boys and Girls: Believe me it's a great joy to make contact with you once again, especially through the pages of your School Year Book, THE PHIL- r.rP1AN. That word Phillipian has a familiar sound to me because, for many years I've been reading, and turning over in my mind a letter that was written by a fellow named Paul, and since that time it has been known as, Paul's Letter to the Phillipiansf' You can find it in your New Testament, and like this word of mine to you, it made possible a nearness of personality - a recrea- tion ol' fellowship that prompted those to whom it was written to accept his gratitude, to go on and see the job through they had set their hand to. It seems to me that is what your School Year Book will do for you. The living personalities, and your association with them, will be revived in your minds. It will catch up with you, and in its silent way re-echo its message of good will and grateful remembrance for what you are doing to keep alive the sacred principles of Truth and our democratic way of living. These things are not so easy to see and weigh in the bal- ance. They lie under the skin, deeper down, as it were. It makes me think of a fellow who said, Brunettes have sweeter dispositions than blonds. Well, said his chum, my wife has been both and I can't see any difference. The fact is, boys and THE PHILLIPIAN 29 girls, we've got to get below the color line. VV e make a lie and a jeer for our Democracy when we discriminate. The Spirit of our Christian religion is like the song you fel- lows sing, .Don't Fence Me In. In other words, it means let me be big enough to see there is something of worth in every soul. Now I hope there is nothing about this per- sonal word that will irritate you. It is sent with the gratitude of a spirit no word can convey. Speaking of irritation, I saw a word recently with a lot of human experience in it. as also a smile. Here's to a chigger, A bug that's no bigger Than the point of a wee, wee pin. But the bump that he raises It itchcs like blazes And that's where the rub comes in. Yours in the fellowship of that all-embrac- ing Spirit, WM. H. H. TAYLOR, Pastor, Phillips Methodist Church. Dear Boys and Girls: Last night the seniors asked me to write to you again through the Service Sheet. They said they had asked lim Ross, too. I canyt hope to compete with him, but I'll just scribble a little sense and nonsense. As I owe many of you a letter, this will be a good way to answer you all at once. Believe it or not! Our snow is all gone in the village and the grass is getting green. However, the radio says freezing for to- night. VVe have just had a cold rain but the top of Old Mt. Blue is all white. The boys have brought me several bunches of Mayflowers. Neal and Ronald are looking forward to the close of school which is only about six weeks away. Neal expects to work on a farm again this summer. The Legion Alumni Hall has been Fixed and we have had several dances there. It is hard to get an orchestra but we get along all right, and the young folks all have fun. The Legion is now planning for Memo- rial Day and are getting a small local band into shape for the parade. Norman Butler has kindly offered to help them and.he'll do it well, too. Wish every one of you could be here to march .but that time will come. Not a great while ago I read a notice in the Farmington news about an Odd Fellows' meeting. It said, The second degree will be sujered on a class of candidates next Monday nightf' Since Prince has joined I am wondering just what they suffered or if it should have been some other word. A short time ago we all got quite a scare when we looked out of our windows and saw the flames shooting out of Fred Beal's house. It was a bad fire and spoiled the upper half of the house. Everyone felt sorry for them. There have been a few of the boys and Brick Whorf? fof coursej fishing here by the bridge, but no whoppers have been pulled out yet. The falls are very high and it's,still quite cold. Here's hoping, meat is awful scurcefi VVe are still collecting waste paper and magazines and storing it in the late Bill Lovejoyls blacksmith shop. We hope to get tons and tons more to help out. We have received word that Dana, David and Everett have been released from German Prison Camps and will soon be home. Good luck and here's hoping we'll be see- ing you all soon. HELEN EDWARDS. To our Boys and Girls in the Service: Marilyn wants to know if I'll write a line or two for the sheet -so here goes. - Recently I wanted to go into Pillsbury's and Iim Ross was ahead of me and very gallantly opened the door with a flourish, followed me in and a small white dog evidently thought he would slip in too. Now the 'K Store owns a 'K watch cat who does not allow dogs inside. At once there was a cat and dog light, but above all this the screams rose high-Iim's screams. He put for the door closing it behind him. Dog, cat, and us inside. Finally the dog was coaxed outside, and soon Iim was again inside and out of breath, saying. I never was so scared in my life!!! And we had to believe him. There is little in the way of news to write. Once in a while we see a 'fellow in uniform, home on leave. VVe were glad to see Don Dennison 30 THE PHILLIPIAN and hear he was recovering nicely. Newsof you folks quickly gets around as everyone is interested to know how and where fafter guessworkj you are. Some of you may be coming for a look-see before many months, if we may rely on latest news. We hope so, and are marking time until then. I ELLA R1cHARnsoN. Greetings to the Boys and Girls in the Service. Most of you are far from home this beautiful season of the year. You may be in a hospital, in a foxhole or in some other post of danger, but remember we on the home front remember you and are pray- ing for you all. We look forward to the day when this terrible war will be over and peace shall reign upon the earth. . Some weeks ago a radio commentator made the statement that he had received a letter from a soldier in the early twenties who wrote that he had no future and nothing to come back to. Poor boy, I hope his chaplain may get to him and talk to him and be able to change his mind. I wish I were near enough to talk with him myself. 1 would ren him of Helen Keller who refused to allow the dark- ness of her sightless eyes and silent tongue to keep her down. I would tell him of the blind Beethoven, who instead of grumbling and quitting, wrote some of the world's most beautiful music. I would tell him of George Washington Carver who refused to allow the fact that he had been born in slavery keep him from carving out a future that exceeded many of the achievements of scientists who had been born in freedom and wealth. G. I. loc, you have much to live for and much to come back to. You have the G. I. Bill of Rights that will set your feet on the way to an education. You can now be sup- plied with artificial limbs and trained to use them skillfully. You are now fighting for a land where every man is free to dream and to think for himself and to build and to over- come, and more than that, you have your loved ones patiently waiting for your return. You have the most wonderful country in all the world,-and above all, you have God. Sincerely, CHAPLAIN RoY A. CLARK, 4th Battalion, Maine State Guard, Phillips.
