We organized early in the Fall and chose the following officers for the year: President r..,,............................... Ioanne Leavitt Secretary ....,,...,....,.,..........,........ Carrie Hodges We kept the same set-up as we have had in the last few yearsg the Seniors and Iuniors each chose two members, the Sophomores 1 May 13-Baseball with Strong Qherej May 20 -Baseball at New Sharon May 27 - Play-OH game Iune 1 - Baccalaureate Iune 4 - Graduation june 5 - Senior Reception and Freshmen each chose only one member, making a total of six members on the student council. The two lower classes often object to such a set up because they feel that they do not stand a fair chance. In most cases, however, we give all classes a fair chance, especially if it is an important question. We hope the student council will continue to function actively next year.

THE PHILLIPIAN 17 CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS According to custom, the seniors sponsored and prepared a series of Christmas assembly programs which took place in the main room of the high school, each morning of the week before our Christmas vacation. Speakers for the week were Mr. Elwood Allen, Mr. Neal Lake, Mr. Norman Young and Miss Lucille Toothaker. In addition to guest speakers each day, we had hymns, carols, special musical numbers, and read- ings. The annual Christmas party which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon was held during t.he morning as a result of the big snow storm. The Freshmen were in charge of the tree and the clean-up committee-. Roberta Fairbanks made a very jolly Santa. MOVIES Again this year we had movies two or three days each week. These Elms were rented from the Minot Film Exchange and Richard Fairbanks, Richard Huff, Bud Rich- mond and Duane Worcester have been in charge of the films and the projector. They were shown in the new building as well as in the High School Room. An admission of five cents was charged to cover the rental fees. We found that these films have been espe- cially helpful and satisfactory in giving those who take school lunches something to do during the remainder of the noon hour. THREE-ACT PLAY This year we made our second attempt at putting on the three-act comedy There She Goes, and came through with flying colors. This was the same play we scheduled for last year but were forced to postpone because of illness. Starting with an almost entirely new cast, including members from all four classes, we worked diligently for two months and Hnally presented the play on November 2. We had a lot of fun at rehearsals and what with all our ad-libbing and crazy antics, it's a wonder our director stayed with us! We sincerely hope you enjoyed our pres- entation and will continue to do the same in future years. The cast was as follows: Tessie Trask, an old maid-Beverly Rich- mond Essie Lovejoy, her maid -Ioanne Mealey Mattie Perkins, a village relic, Anita Rollins Pete Wheeler, a handyman - H a r r i s o n Harnden Grace Bowers, Tommy's steady - Connie Witham Tommy Trask, Tessie's young brother - Bud Richmond Cleo Dodge Local Girls-Ioanne Leavitt Ida Hutton - Iudy White Gloria Diamond, a literary agent - Ernestine Wells Lana LaMarr, a movie star-Roberta Buck Louhedda Hopsons, a columnist--Leota Hinckley Frederick Lorimer, a widower-Lawrence Ronco Director - Paul L. Bishop ONE-ACT PLAY Only one of the two one-act plays was carried through to a performance in the Bowdoin Contest trials at Strong, March 18. Dead Men Can't Hurt You by Iewell Bothwell Tull was presented with the fol- lowing cast: Nan Helder ,...,..,. .......,...,.... A nita Rollins Oscar Helder ...... ...... H arrison Harnden Bertha Helder ......,.. ............., I oanne Mealey Emil Mauer .....,.................. Duane Worcester Williams ......,.,.............,.,......,.. Bud Richmond Skowhegan won the contest in which Rangeley and Strong also participated. Our play was entered in the county contest at Farmington on April 30. The second play prepared by Phillips showed great promise with its intensely dramatic plot. Unfortunately it had to be dropped because several bad snow storms late in February closed school several times
