Cheerleaders C Rowe, P. Savage, E. Rowe, Nlecham. Carlisle, J. Ballum, B CHEERLEADERS Although we have not had too successful a basketball year, we have enjoyed cheering. The squad is composed of six girls: Peggy Carlisle, Pat Savage, Betty Rowe, Ioyce Ballum, Carolyn Rowe, and Betty Mecham, captain. The girls practiced every week at the Alumni Gym and learned new cheers. They were present at every basketball game to keep up the boys' morale. The squad will be losing Peggy Carlisle, Ioyce Ballum, Pat Savage, and Betty Mecham in Iune. We hope those who take our places will have as much fun as we did. 9: 'Je 9: 9: GLEE CLUB Every Thursday afternoon at 2:00 p. m. with few exceptions, the Phillips High School Girls' Glee Club meets in Mrs. Smith's room for practice. Mrs. Richmond and Mrs. Field are instructors, with Mrs. Steward, pianist. The Glee Club consists only of high school girls, a change from last year. The girls are divided into two groups: altos and sopranos. Most of the girls cannot read music. We have been practicing the following songs: The Lord's Prayer The Doll and the Teddy Bear - I. S. Fearis Roses from the South -- I. Strauss Coming Thru the Rye - R. Burns Sunset Hours Flag of the Stars - I. S. Fearis We plan to give a concert this year to help defray expenses to the Music Festival to be held in Madison, May 4. VVe also plan to sing at graduation as last year's glee club did. ANNUAL MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN Mr. Hovis, the representative of the Crowell- Collier Magazine Co., came to P. H. S. on October 10, 1956, to start off our annual maga- zine campaign. The activity was under the direction of Sandra Kinney, business manager, and Dennis Pillsbury, assistant manager. Peggy Carlisle, Clarice McLaughlin, Lorrimer Hodges, and Ierry Ellis were class captains. The drive for subscriptions officially ended on October 24, and was a financial success since the students brought in more than 15500 in new and renewal subscriptions. Because the junior class brought in the most money, they were awarded 52500. High salesmen selling S25 or more were: Dennis Pillsbury, Raymond Leavitt, Betty Rowe, and Leora McLaughlin. Congratulations on a job well done.

Norman Thurlow, first speaker, and Dennis Pillsbury, second speaker, are representing afiirmative team which meets Lewiston High School at Phillips. Michael VVhite, first speaker, and Alexander Peterson, second speaker, are representing our negative team which will debate St. Dominic School for Girls at Lewiston. We regret the loss of two debaters, Glendalyn Dill and Stephen Bryant, both who were unable to find sufficient time to take part this year. However with the help of our coach Mr. Whit- temore, we hope to better last year's record. The results of debates held on March 20 were as follows: Our affirmative team lost to Lewiston High School 3-0, and the judges voted Edward Berman of Lewiston as the best speaker. However, our negative team argued its way to a 3-0 decision over the afftirmative team of the St. Dominic School for Girls with the judges selecting Alex Peterson as the best speaker.
