HE REDEEMED HIMSELF.
F r o m the window of his office J o h n Colenian looked d o w n upon
the seething N e w Y o r k throng. It had come at last. W a r had
been declared against Germany, and that g r e a t mass of people in
the street showed its a p p r o v a l of the declaration.
Every young
A m e r i c a n in that throng was w i l l i n g to offer his life that d e m o c r a c y

Coleman, being a virile and athletic y o u n g man, l a c k e d none
of the indomitable spirit of the A m e r i c a n .
T w o y e a r s before he

T h e r e f o r e , as all business w o u l d remain at a standstill f o r the
rest of the day, Coleman closed the office and w e n t out into the
ever-thickening crowd. He w e n t d i r e c t l y to the nearest n a v a l enlistment headcjuarters and w a s told to r e t u r n the next d a y f o r examination. The f o l l o w i n g day he received a g r a d e of one hundred
per cent on his physical examination and w a s assigned to a n a v a l
station on the coast.
F o r three months Coleman remained at the station w h e r e he
w a s t h o r o u g h l y drilled and equipped.
He put a g r e a t deal of
e f f o r t into his duties as a " g o b " because he w i s h e d to be assigned
to a ship as soon as possible. His efforts w e r e r e w a r d e d , f o r his
officers noticed his w o r k and placed him a m o n g some veterans, w h o
w e r e to man a new destroyer recently launched at the B r o o k l y n

W h e n Coleman reached B r o o k l y n , he immediately w e n t to the

T h e day a f t e r the arrival of the squadron at H a v r e , F r a n c e ,
the men were given a. free afternoon. ]\Iost of the crew w a s reclining about the destroyer deck. F i n a l l y , B r u c e , the seaman, who
had retired through the h a t c h w a y upon the a r r i v a l of Coleman,
sauntered over to w h e r e " t h e l a n d - l u b b e r " w a s e n j o y i n g a sunbath and told him to stand up. Coleman refused. The v e t e r a n
seaman made a l u n g e at Coleman, but " t h e l a n d - l u b b e r " w a s too
quick f o r him. The n e x t instant Bruce"s arms were pinned back
of h i m ; iiis g r e a t muscles were <)linos1 useless in such a hold, and
the n e x t minute the mightiest man of the d e s t r o y e r ' s crew h u r t l e d
head-long into the sea. This w a s the w o i s t predicament in whicl,
he had ever found himself, for, altliough he had been a sailor for
moi'e than t w e l v e years, he had not learned to swim.
A c r y arose f r o m tlie men who had q u i c k l y g a t h e r e d to see
some f u n . This w a s the first time they had ever seen anyone w h o
w o u l d dare approach Bruce, and they stood g a p i n g at the man w h o
had t h r o w n their idol overboard. H o w e v e r , Coleman remained on
the d e c k only an instant, and then the astonished crew saw him
dive overboard. R u n n i n g to the ropes, t h e y saw him come to the
surface, d r a g g i n g the Giant B r u c e a f t e r him. It w a s b u t a m o m e n t ' s
w o r k to t h r o w them the ropes and d r a w them to the decks.
Tlie two dripping men stood on the deck f a c i n g each other
w i t h their tists clenched. W i t h a quick movement B r u c e threw his
right hand f o r w a r d ; Coleman stepped to one side to dodge B r u c e ' s
blow, but in doing so he saw that B r u c e ' s open hand w a s stretched
t o w a r d him. Coleman q u i c k l y grasped the h a n d and then in tui-n
he grasped each of the other m e n ' s hands. He had won a place
a m o n g the men of this crew at last.

CLASS HISTORY
The month of September, 1918, will a l w a y s be remembereil by
A m e r i c a n s . The y o u n g manhood of our c o u n t r y w a s b a t t e r i n g its
w a y through the famous " I l i n d e n b u r g L i n e , " and those at home
w e r e w o r k i n g incessantly to support the men w h o m w e f e l t must
u l t i m a t e l y w i n a decisive victory f o r d e m o c r a c y .
That, same memorable month of 1918 witnessed the opening of
another great battle.
This second battle w a s destined to t a k e
place in the " M i l n e High S e c t o r " of A l b a n y . F o r c e s w e r e mobilizi n g in the " M i l n e S e c t o r " on the t w e n t y - t h i r d d a y of September.
T h e class of '22 took its position beside its v e t e r a n schoolmates
and prepared f o r its f o u r y e a r s ' campaign against the innumerable
h a z a r d s of high school life.
W e freshmen were first made to feel our inferior raid^ of
b e i n g critical b y being scrutinized by all u p p e r classmen.
While
entering or l e a v i n g school, we underwent the ordeal of being commented upon b y groups of our more experienced cohorts.
This
severe inspection made us feel much as lost poodle dogs must f e e l
w h i l e being appraised either f a v o r a b l y or u n f a v o r a b l y , b y g r o u p s
of assuming newsboys. The gracious seniors had an inane d e l i g h t
in b r i n g i n g their friends, the juniors, into our s t u d y hall in the
m o r n i n g to show them w h a t an immense c r o w d of innocent mortals
t h e y had succeeded in collecting as understudies.
It is no w o n d e r that our study hall amused ui>per classmen. Our
class, being the largest the school has ever had, w a s under the
necessity of finding accommodations w h e r e v e r and h o w e v e r it could.
T h e b a c k of the room and t h e side aisles w e r e p a c k e d with e x t r a
chairs. The freshmen, occupying these chairs, had piled their coats
and books, as best t h e y could, on and around their seats.
They
had then proceeded to place themselves on the l u g g a g e in v e r y
precarioiis, not to say amusing, positions and to make an effort
to s t u d y the d a y ' s L a t i n lesson. In all p r o b a b i l i t y it did not i-equii'e a great deal of imagination on the p a r t of our toi-mentors
to think of these u n h a p p y schoolmates as y o u n g apes perched in
their native habitats.
B u t , it w a s not long that w e had to endure these gibes.
A
rescuer soon came to our assistance in the f o r m of a vacation.
T h e epidemic of infantile paralysis had spread, and the schools
w e r e closed f o r about a month. W h e n w e r e t u r n e d at the end of
t h a t period, there w a s no time f o r a n y t h i n g b u t woi-k, and the
y o u t h f u l " f r e s h i e " w a s allowed to live in peace.

It is sunrise at Cairo, the busiest hour of the long day in this
" g a t e w a y to the S a h a r a . " In its narrow crowded market place,
groups of merchants are displaying their wares, f a k i r s are endeavoring to a t t r a c t attention by new and clever t r i c k s ; all is pandemonium of noise and disorder. One of tlie most interesting groups
in this city square is the c a r a v a n in f r o n t of an A r m e n i a n r u g
m a k e r ' s shop. In a f e w moments pi'eparations will have been completed, and this p a r t y will stai't on its j o u r n e y across the Great
Sahara. The c a r a v a n consists of three riding camels and two pack
camels, which stir lazily to their feet at the crack of the d r i v e r s '
whips.
Presently from a prosperous looking pension across from the
caravan, a small gi'oup emerges and makes their w a y amid the confusion to the spot which their c a r a v a n is waiting. The head guide
approaches the p a r t y Avhich consists of two y o u n g women and a
gentleman, and speaks to the y o u n g woman in white.
Evidently
satisfied with her response which is in A r a b i a n , the man bows, returns to his men and gives the signal to stai-t. The p a r t y is mounted
and have started on their w a y when the sharp call of a woman halts
them. The y o u n g woman in white, who is evidently in command
calls to the driver to halt for a moment. This gives time to a rather
copious looking person who is m a k i n g lier w a y across the square
w i t h some difficulty, while holding on to two large suitcases.
A g a i n at the signal, the c a r a v a n starts and as it passes through
c r o w d e d streets, groups of b e g g a r s step f o r w a r d from the shadows
and hail the party, w h i n i n g f o r their aid, and bestowing the blessings of A l l a h v e r y genei'ously upon tliem f o r their kindness. Gi'adu a l l y the town is left behind, and soon the c a r a v a n becomes a mere
dot on the horizon, passing slowly along amid boundless stretches of
sand dunes, until it becomes part of the desert itself when lost to
sight behind a f r i e n d l y oa.^is. Fai* out on the stillness floats the
sound of laughter. Those in the c a r a v a n are evidently e n j o y i n g
their first trip into the desert.
Till noon the p a r t y is urged f o r w a r d by the whips of the guides.
S u d d e n l y before them lies the second oasis. A f t e r a short halt, all
are refreshed and continue on their w a y in the scorching heat of
the sun. The heat of the afternoon and the changeless view of sand
soon f a t i g u e s the p a r t y and they either f a l l asleep or lie quietly
exhausted on their higii b a c k e d moimts.

STUDENT COUNCIL NOTES
The premier of Student Council has d r a w n to an end.
As
g o v e r n i n g board of the school, we feel that it has been quite successful. W e hope that students feel also that we have done somet h i n g which will add glory to Milne's name. J u d g e us not too
harshly. Remember, that it is easier to c a r r y on a task than it
is to begin it.
In summarizing the school activities of the spring season.
S t u d e n t Council feels that the Student Reception, held under its
direction on the evening of Girls' D a y w a s its greatest success,
A v e r y large gathering of Milne students w a s present that evening, and all enjoyed themselves and r e a l l y had a good time. W e
wish to compliment the G i r l s ' L i t e r a r y societies on their G i r l s '
D a y program.
T h e y have established a precedent which must
continue in f u t u r e years. On behalf of these societies, we thank
the boys who rendered invaluable assistance to the girls that afternoon. W e feel that Miss R i c e ' s splendid direction added g r e a t l y
to the success of play, and we thank her f o r her great kindness.
A compliment is due to the girls and boys athletic teams, to
the girls because of their t r a c k meet, and to the boys because of
their successful baseball season. In the ti'ack meet, we see another
precedent established. To f u t u r e classes, w e should say, " C a i - r y
o n , " W e urge better attendance at games by the students.
It
has much to do with the fortune and success of y o u r teams.
Do y o u realize, students, that S t u d e n t Council has achieved
w h a t w e considered as the most important item of our pi-ogram
last November?
There has been real school spirit in Milne this year! Consider
the y e a r carefully, and y o u will realize it. The success of our
School Outing to K i n g s t o n is a point which substantiates this statement as the other events of the y e a r have done.
W e have had a splendid set of leaders in our Seniors. A s a
class t h e y have achieved great success.
W e hope that f u t u r e
classes w i l l follow the splendid example w h i c h they have given us.
Student Council wishes to thank the F a c u l t y f o r their kind
assistance throughout the year.
To our principal, Mr. Sayles, we wish to show our appreciation
f o r the invaluable assistance and k i n d l y advice which he has a l w a y s
given to us.

Girls' DayI t is to the loyal members of tlie two g i r l s ' societies of Milne
H i g h school that credit and praise are due f o r r e v i v i n g again the
interest and zeal in a d a y of activities for the girls. " G i r l s ' D a y "
w a s observed in the dim past, but several y e a r s no particular
effort has been made by the societies to present a n y t h i n g other
than a simple program.
By tlie f r i e n d l y co-operation of the gii-ls of the Zeta Sigma
and Qnintilian Litei'ary societies an entei'taining program and play
w e r e presented in the school anditoriiim on T h u r s d a y afternoon,
M a y 25th.
Tlie a f t e r n o o n ' s program w a s commenced by a processional of
the girls of the societies. L e d by their vice presidents, the members m a r c h e d to the back of the auditorium, wliere the lines separated and proceeded down separate aisles to the seats reserved
f o r them. Both girls in the lead cari'ied as mascots, dolls, dressed
in the respective colors of the two societies. Piano selections and
v o c a l solos w e r e given before the curtains were d r a w n for the
main f e a t u r e of the program, a ])lay. " H e r F i r s t A s s i g n m e n t "
w a s presented w i t h great reality and eagerness by the girls chosen
f r o m each society. Considerable credit and appi'oval is due alone
to the girls w h o made it possible that the play be so successfully
offered. F o l l o w i n g the play the girls formed again into line, and
concluded their program by a recessional.
In the evening of the same day a school reception w a s held in
the gymnasium. A l l f o u r societies wei'e well represented and likewise the seliool b o d y and the faculty. Decorated w i t h large palms
and p a p e r streamers of society colors tlie gymnasium presented
