PHILAKEAN In the beginning of the school year of 1916 the boys of the Reescville High Sclionl or- ganized a literary society. It was named Philakean or Lovers of AI'Q'lllI1Gl1t.U The pur- pose of this society was to educate the members in the usages of parliamentary law and along lines of debating and public speaking. Philakean now consists of 10011 of the boys of the senior high school who hold meet- ings every Thursday evening. During' these m eetines the members give talks. take part in debates, and practice parliamentary drill. It is our sincere wish that the Philakean society will be of great interest to those who become members in the future and will help keep the high standard of the school as it has done ever since its organization.

T H E Q U I L L GYMNASIUM CLASS ATHLETICS Athletics have formed one of the most important of our school activities. With the ad- dition of our new gymnasium this work is brought closer to all members of the school. The purpose of athletics is to develop our bodies physically in keeping with our men- tal development. This purpose was fulfilled through our gym classes which were held from two to three times a week and by the basketball teams, organized botl1 in the senior and junior high. The junior high school organized a basketball team which had a very suc- cessful season, playing a number of games with Lowell one of which was lost, three of which were won by the junior high. The success of the year has influenced our school in promoting basketball in the junior high in fu ture years. The education of an American school boy is not complete without the addition of a course in physical training. What good will an education do if ones health is failing and cannot allow him to do the work he has striven to do? All his school work will be in vain and his many hours of hard study will avail him nothing Our foreign counsins have wondered why the American boy has such good chances of accomplishing something in his life. This can be easily explained by the American people because of the extensive and ever widening courses in physical training advocated through- out our country. Other nations are taking up this new American achievement and apply- ing it in their own schools to make better and greater men for their country. Let it be the motto of all American citizens to promote athletics in our schools and make our coun- try an example to other nations of the world. Page 19
