Some Milnite evidently
thought the calendar in Miss
Shaver's homeroom was very
attractive. Consequently, he
transplanted it from the bulletin board to some unlmown
hideout v;horo it might bo
better appreciated.
Somehow, we 'alv/ays considered Milnites above this sort of thing. The tale
smcks of "souvenir collectors." But
wasn't tliat breed exterminated a few
weeks ago? Evidently one bu^ escaped

how about reforming yourself and make
Milne 100^ moth-proof.
