MISS TUCKER PRESENTS CLASS
GIFT TO NEW HIGH SCHOOL

AS a part of the beautiful dedica-
tory exercises of the new John Her
bert Phillips High school on we'd
nesday. Miss Ruth Tucker. represent
ing the class of 1922, presented to the
school a handsome oil painting of
DR.. Phillips.
This painting is a symbol CT the
homage felt for the former super
intendent by the class of which Miss
Tucker was a member.
In presenting the portrait Miss
Tucker spoke a. follows:
There is a little story which the
admirers Of DR.. Phillips delight in
recalling-the story of the grammar
essays on Great Men" There were
the usual George Washington themes
Lincoln, Wilson. Roosevelt-all
came in for their share of praise.
| And there was one which began:
think the greatest man Is DR..
Phillips
And just as surely as ne was en-
shrined in the heart of that fifth
grade child, SO do we who have
known him. his patience. his kindly
wisdom and his sincere affection for
his children remember him as one
of our greatest men.
How often it has been said of one
whom the world recognized as great:
| He needs no monument So we may
| say of DIR. Phillips that the Birming :
ham Public school system is his per-
petual monument. He founded it, he
gave his life to it's upbuilding, he
builded it upon rock and through
the winds and waves of criticism, of
support. Of lack of funds-of all
those things which make for dis
couragement and failure beat against
that rock-it stood! 1t stands today
ever recalling the name-John Her.
bert Phillips! And in the memory of
those who loved him. that name will
rem ain-untarnished, undimmed.
ut Is a pleasing thought in pre-
senting this portrait of DIR. Phillips
to the school which bears his name
that as the portrait of Minerva was
safe guard to the great Greek city
of old. so this portrait may guard
and protect Phillips high and may
assure its continued conquests over
ignorance.
$50 it gives me great pleasure. as
member of the class OF 1922. as a
gift from cur class of Central, a
token of our deep respect and heart
felt love for DR.. Phillips. to present
his portrait to the John Herbert
Phillips High school,"
