How famous the name of Phillips, well known and popular ever it is. Our Bob Phillips is not lacking in popularity in V. H. S. How important is the name of VVaters. Where would we be without our waterways for transportation? For we may sail on and on with our Bill VVaters. Eats! Eats! Here we come nice and delicious, pies we have! Perry Pies, the last but not least reason why we are famous. llinrnln Glnnirai In respect of and to pay our tribute to one whom all Americans should honor, every student of Venice High wrote an essay about Abraham Lincoln. To increase enthusiasm and to make us high school people see the merits of his life, Mr. john L. Fechte offered two fountain pens of respective value for the two best essays submitted. On the morning of February 12, in connection with our patriotic ceremonies, these were read and the prizes awarded. Lorena Ferguson received first prize, Helen Blades and Reatha McComis came forward for equal second honors. Therefore each received a fountain pen. These works were very much enjoyed by both teachers and students. 41
