22 THE PHILLIPIAN IUNIOR PROM Our class held the annual lunior Prom on April 4 and we were very successful in all aspects. VVe did fairly well financially, had a good crowd and the music by Foster Beach's Orchestra was enjoyed by all. The hall was decorated in the Iunior Class colors which are blue and gold. CLASS TRIP - 1952 April 20, 1952, the departure time for the memorable class trip of 1952: Eleven eager beavers left the gates of Phillips for a mighty advance on New York, the largest city in the world. The happy tourists were: Richard Fair- banks, who hopes he'll never feel a cold shower again? Dick Mealey, who'll be care- ful from now on where he throws! his cigarette buttsg Stub Voter. who will never forget that 5 homer gameg Louise Mealey, who's at war with the army 'lg Dick W'itham, who, even after two years of it, will not hesitate to go againg loanne Leavitt, who gets shook up too easily, Bob Pres- cott, who should a stood in bed, Ed Smith, who hates intruders, Cincluding detec- tives or Womenjg Zeke Worcester, who'd better close his eyes quickly Mr. Bishop, who wandered lonely as a cloud fal- though he denies it, and who am I to argue?j and Bev Richmond, who's won- dering, 'K Has anybody here seen Kelly? 1' We saw all the usual things such as: Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Central Park, Coney Island, Radio City, Rockefeller Center, Ringling Bros.

If you don't believe it ask Ed, Bob, Stub or Zeke, or for that matter any of us! VVe had beautiful weather all the time, and Stub failed to hear those dreaded words, 'A Rain! No game! We all have one thing to be thankful for, that is, that Hotel Detectives are always one night too late! Enough said, except that we all had a good time and know that this trip will never be forgotten. even after we're old, graduated, and miles apart.

THE PHILLIPIAN 21 Mrs. Agnes Allen, Mr. Iohn MacLeod, and Miss Gwendolyn Stearns. The county contest was held at Strong, April 2nd, There were seven schools com- peting, with the coaches acting as judges. Lawrence Ronco represented Phillips and did a very fine job. Betty Grant of Rangeley was awarded First place. David Bosworth of Farmington was second, with Ioyce Wilber of Stratton, third. The competition was keen and all did a wonderful job. TAPE RECORDER This year the High School bought a new tape recorder. To most of us this is some- thing entirely new and has provided for us a lot of entertainment. It was purchased for the school only, and comes in handy at times. The debating teams and play cast have used it to record their lines and speeches. AMPLIFIER y A new ampliher was also purchased by the High School. This was viewed with interest by all, and will give somebody a chance to test their skill as an announcer. This might be used for future P.H.S. basket- ball games. iiii EASTER PROGRAMS The seniors had charge of the Easter programs. Four speakers were invited. They were as followsg' Mr. Lake, Miss Toothaker, Mr. Carlyle and Mr. Young. They each had a very good message to bring us. Friday, the last program of the week before Easter, the whole school attended the Congregational Church and listened to a very interesting program. These exercises had a very good inFluence on the Phillips High School Students. MAGAZINE DRIVE Again this year we conducted our mag- azine drive to earn money for school pur- poses. Mr. Hovis, our Crowell-Collier Company Representative, talked to us very entertain- ingly, and it is evident that we enjoy his sales talk as much as we do the profits from the drive. The four classes had a contest, the winner of which was to receive S525 for the class treasury. The Iuniors won after a tough struggle and 15536.88 worth of magazine subscriptions were brought in all together. Individual prizes were given during and after the contest, and the grand prize for highest salesman was given to Winona Rich- ard. Duane Worcester and Lawrence Ronco served as Business Managers and Beverly Richmond, Theodore Richmond, Ir., Richard Hoover, Ir., and Richard Mealey, Ir., were class captains. It is our desire to express our most sincere thanks to all you subscribers who make the success of this campaign possible. 1 .. CAREER DAY On Monday, May 19th, the Iuniors and Sophomores attended the annual career day meeting at the Farmington High School building. This day is for the purposc of helping the students to decide upon a vocation after graduating. HOT LUNCH PROGRAM The former sub-primary and first grade building has been remodeled into a cafeteria. lt was opened for use by the students on Ianuary 2nd after the Christmas vacation. The price of each meal is twenty cents. The meals include a wide variety of dishes. Mrs. Beatrice Golden and her assistants deserve a great deal of praise for helping to make possible these excellent meals.
