With how inaiiy vjiricd emotions ^\•e come to the end of jiiioiher
school yeai-. The freshmen bi'eathe a sigh of relief at h a v i n g passed
tlieii' tii'st step in their high school life. Tiie soi)homores and jnniors
are uinnoved at their new status, but the seniors are divided. Some
ai-e just a wee bit t e a r y at the thouglit of leaving Milne foi'evei', of
breaking the old associations and making new. Others thiidv mei-ely
of the hard woi'k they have done and are glad to leave, but do the.se

any hardei- than they have hei'c? If they do they should i-emcudx-r
sevei-al talks w e have had in chapel.

CLASS POEM OF 1924
T o d a y lias seen accomplished an ideal
Which foi- foul- years Ave've held before our eyes,
The worthy aim of evei'y longing dream.
J^'rom dusty lowlands we have j o u r n e y e d here,
Many comrades loved of us are lost,
Ovei'whelmed by toil and w e a r y care
Only those with glowing, courageous hearts
This land of i)i'omised dreams, success, have gained.
i>ut, come, w e ' l l drain our cup of happiness
And revel under fortune's kindly smile
Our band, the whole wide woidd salutes with j o y .
Adventure calls from every hidden side.
F l ' n g to the wind your mantles stained with t r a v e l ;
l)id tlie spirit of joy bi'ing garments w h i t e ;
And lock within your heart this glorious hour,
Foi' on this summit we'll not stand again.
l>ut in the midst of riotous, reckless mirth
Oui' thoughts speak soberly of things worth while.
The cumberous rocks that barred our steej) ascent.
As we look back, like golden milestones gleam.
We say g o o d b y e to comrades we have known
And dread the thought of g o i n g fortii alone.
Foi' now our only guides ex])erience give
A s we go out to learn the lessons of life.
Oh, that we could see ahead with fate.
And know the power of kee])ing on this height.
The meeting of accomj)lishnient and hope.
liiit lift y o u r eyes, a voice is heard to say.
The way of triumphs is to climb on up
For thei'e will a l w a y s be a steep ascent.
And look, just o ' e r the crest of the next high peak
Is tlitting our ideal, w a y ahead.
This one easy slope that we have reached today
Is only a stepping stone to g r e a t e r things.

CLASS HISTORY
The class of iiiiit'tecn liiindi'tMl and 1 wciity-l'our is on the hoiiu's1 retch. There have been times of (!onrse, wlien we might have held
0111' ])lace moi'e successfully, or when, -with a bit more headwoi k, a
better race could have been mm, but frankly speak'no', though we
have made a lot of " b l o t s , " it could have been much worse. We do
not wisii to pose as the " o n l y o n e s ' ' whom the school would have
[)ei'ished without, but we shall let our i-ecord in the past four years
speak for us and, thus, without self-pi-aise, be content.
Seventy-niiu' hopefuls entered Room .'302 that fall, nearly foui'
ycai's ago. Fifty-seven have left our ranks. Our depleted numbers
have, fortunately, been well re-inforced—by Wilbur and '"IJiir'
coming to us fi'om the iioy's Academy, by ijois from the " w i l d s " of
northei'n Ontario, and by oui' intellectual Stevens from the " l a n d of
cotton."
In our junioi' year, we had also, another vei'y valuable
addition iji Frances Storrs, but, although we held fond liopes of
I'etaining hei', she heartlessly left us this November, having spent
little more than a year in oui" company. Our class now numbers
le
THE CKIiMSOX AND W H I T E
twenty-two and we have the honor of being tlie youngest gi-aduating class for some time past.
In tlie performance of tliis duty, 1 cannot help hut i-ecall the
good times that we have had togethei* and, althougii it is a grand
and glorious feeling to be so neai' graduation, vainly regret that
time in its tlight cannot turn backward and make us once more those
timid, wide-eyed, little fi-eshmen beginnhig out- high school life
under ]\Hss Cushing's friendly jui'isdiction, and so live ovei- again
the happy hours of those carefree days.
As I sit, snug and cozy, in a huge armchaii', each scene comes
floating befoi'e my eyes. We are again mei'e " f i ' e s h i e s " seai'clr'ng
vainly through the halls foi' I'ooni 200 or 109 where we were
informed a cei'tain class, was to be held. Once more, ^Hss Cushing
is admonishing us concerning our absence f i o m second roll call or
Ti'of. SayU's is " i n i t i a t i n g " us into the i-ules and I'egulations of the
school, which all seem so strange aiul new to us. W e never, as freshnu^n, could I'ealize the necessity of that cold, supei'ior mannei* toward us adoi)ted by the ui)perclassmen. We did the next year, however, when we, in our turn, took an active })art in ti-ying to take the
succeeding freshmen class down a peg or two.
Xothing much of particulai' note occui'i'ed in our freshmen year
iu whicli we were concerned—nothing ever does when one is a freshman—excei)t that we who had I'eached the re(|uii'ed i)ei'centage in
school work were rusiied foi' the vai-ious societies.
We afforded
great enjoyment to those who partook in our initiations but, of
course, we " c a m e up smiling." This has been a special chai'acteristic of ours throughout our entire foui- years,
in our second year, sonu^ of our classmates wei'e sifted out in
one way oi- anothei-, and we became more united. We began to feel
pi-etty big now, oi'ganized oui' class, and took a great delight in
seeing how high we could keep our heads raised when w a l k i n g
tiii'ough tlie iudls. My goodness, we were sophomores now! What
more could one wish in way of dignity?
Wh en we mounted the third step in our high school ladder,
social life seemed to hold a particular attraction for many.
Those
who had formerly been kiu)wn as " h a r d w o r k e r s " oi' " g r i n d s " began " s t e p p i n g - o u t " and took in all the social events of the year. In
conse(|i;ence the whole class experienced a downwai'd trend, and
many a heai't sank as, aftei- five week " e x a m s , " a voice at a classroom door was heard to say, " M r . Blank is wanted at the office,"
for we all knew what that interview might hohl for us. A sudden

i w i v a l of iiitei'est in our w o r k about the initldle of June, liowever,
enabletl most of us to pull through happily.
And now we are seniors! It hartlly seems possible that our class
numerals are the lowest in tlie school.
It lias been hard to get
accustomed to the new numerals each succeeding class has brought
witli it, and especially has it been so with the last.
Wliat have we done for old Milne during our life here? Will
our record shine forth in tiie future to make our sciiool proud or
will it be obscure and worthless? We tiiink that we liave conscientiously tried to live up to all our obligations and perform well our
duties devolving on us both collectively and indivithuilly.
Have we not lent liberally to tlu' gii'l's basketball and baseball
t . a m s of our greatest talent, tiuit of " B o b " and " P e g g y " and, thus,
brought about nuiny victories for Milne?
Have not also tlie boys' athletics had a successful year under
" E v v y " Long of '2-1 with " G i p y , " Werner, Wilbur and Vander
Horst on tlie team?
The Student Council under L o i s ' guiding hand has, despite
mucli opposition, finally succeeded in firndy establishing the Defacement Act (having to do with the punishment inflicted for eraseithrowing and general defacement of the building), whicli we fervently hoj)e will be cai'ried out by the succeeiling classes.
The Crimson and White Boai'd with ^Mary as editor this year
is conscientiously following the i)recedent set by last year's class in
putting out an excellent year book.
We may also say ti'uthfully that the Dramatics and French
clubs are of our making for, altliough the Dramatics club was oi'ganized in our junior year, it was the class of 1924 tiiat reorganized and
kept it floui'ishing, through Frances, I^enore aiul P e g g y , tiiroughout
their senior yeai*. Also the Frencli club, tlirough Miss Martinez's
endeavoi's, was started this year with Fi-ances at the helm.
Nor have we entirely devoted ourselves to the physical or social
side, but have had a good I'ecord in the classroom.
Were there notliing else to comnu'ud us, we ought surely to receive just pi-aise foi- our generous amount of school spirit. It really
began in our freslnnan year when, not wishing to l)e outdoiu^ by our
uppei- classnu'u, we tried to take an active part, even though fi'eshmen, in all school affairs. But, being rightly controlled, most of oui'
ac(iuired class enthusiasm nudted away into a feeling of mutual
helpfulness to our dear school. A l w a y s iuive we responded cheerfully to all calls on our tiuu' and money. We do not wish our fellow-

.sludeiits to forget that we intend, so f a r as is possible, to keep our
record bi'ight a f t e r we have left Milne.
And, now, in this, our last record of our life here, we tlesii-e to
extend our most heart-felt appreciation to our principal and faculty
f o r their kind cooperatiou and encouragement and to i)ay a I'ond
fareAvell tribute to our Alma .Mater:
.May the wi'eath of glory i)laced ui)on thy bi'ow,

PROPHECY
Old age lives in the past but youth in tlie f u t u r e . Ui)oii leaving
high school we attempt to pierce the darkness of our future. It
seems natural upon leaving liigli school to wonder where we will be
and what w e ' l l be doing aftei' a lapse of a f e w years. Tlie origin
of the class prophecy came from an attempt to relieve the f a t i g u e d
bi'ain of the senior so let us skip ovei- fifteen yeai'S and see our
f u t u r e and incidentally ease our tired brains.
Nineteen thirty-nine and Professoi* S a y l e s has just I'etui-ned
f r o m a si)eaking toui* of the large colleges of tlie coraitry. His lectures were on School Administration, ui)on which subject he has
become a noted autiiority. S t r a n g e l y enough Professor S a y l e s met
evei'yone of the g r a d u a t i n g class of 1924.
In Chicago Professor Sayles paid W e r n e r Liebich a visit in
return foi' the nuxny visits Wei-ner made to the east end of the third
tloor. W e r n i e went west some y e a r s ago as a c o w b o y looking for
Indians and cattle but finding no Indians he contented himself with
guiding the great lierds of cattle t h r o u g h tlie narrow passages of
the Cliicago stock yards. P>ut Wernie has been successful foi' Professor S a y l e s fountl him in the i)osition of business nuinagei* of the
Oi'eat W e s t e r n P a c k i n g Comjjany, a position f o r which he w a s
ti'ained on the Crimson and White boai'd.
In New Y o r k Mister Sayles f o u n d E v e r e t t L o n g i)laying witii
an entirely different tyi)e of stock. ]\Ir. L o n g (as we must now call
him) has recently purciiased a seat in the New Y o r k Stock E x c h a n g e
for the sum of .i>250,000. E v . obtained his initiation on tlie Student
Council.
T h e story of tlie Class of 19,24 w a s told to William McDonougli
by Professor Sayles one day while riding on a F i f t h A v e n u e bus
fi'om the W a n a m a k e r Terminal to 110th street. Uill is collecting
fares on tlie bus and can be found on tlie avenue every morning. He
is conductor No. 4761. Ilowevei- lUll does not iiave to do this as he
owns a large share of tlie business, but thi-ough certain eccentricities,
lie ])i'efei's to w o r k on the bus to sitting in his office in the Times
l)uilding.
So f a r we have heard only of bachelors. Of the girls, few were
able to i-esist the temptation of matrimony the first time they were
asked. Professoi- Sayles met Lois McNeillie in Los Angeles, married
to a movie star. This is perhai)s the most suri)rising thing any of
our classmates has done for surely no one ever thought her affections could ever change from liei* first high school love. We will see

moiT of Lois ill the f u t u r e as slic lias consented to play opjjosite her
husband during tiic coining year.
Anollier married lady is Alice lUanchard, and it is a sad story.
Professor Sayles says she A v a s doing w o n d e r f u l l y in her sophomore
year at State College Avhen some y o u n g man entered her life. A l a s !
Poor A l i c e !
She forgot e v e r y t h i n g she read in " C o u r t s h i p
C o u r t e s i e s " that day in -luiie 1!)24 and was whirled oil' her feet.
She is iiappily married and living in Elsmere.
The new ^liliie High school has finally been completed, it is a
magnificent building unlike a n y t l r n g that Avas ever before built.
Clifford Lasher who was graduated from M. I. T. in 1!)2S with the
gi'eatest honors (Unsigned the building and personally supervised its
consti-uction. Cliff is married. The l u c k y girl is Helen Mansion and
if might be said here that he Avas very fortunate himself. T h a t love
scene in the play on Class Day seemed like more fhan acting. Helen
\\ho always had good ideas and a toucii of originality helps Cliff
v.-itli his Avork. She is as pi'etty as ever and still Avears her hair
liobbed.
There was another match made in Milne in those days.
Professor Sayles says that John Rude and Alice Reno are married,
•lolin is at tiie head of the Ignited States F o r e s t r y Service and
recently he and Alice Avere royally entertained at Washington. .John
honored for his theory on the preservation of forests by the
eliminalion of axes, saAvs, bugs and fire. Alice has a h v a y s been a
faithful alumnae of IMilne. Mr. Sayles says she comes often to visit
and is a l w a y s interested in the school's activities.
At Daytona lieach, i^rofessor Sayles Avatciied F r a n c i s S t e v e n s
drive his Speed Super Six Hudson to victory, a v e r a g i n g forty-nine
and iiine-tentiis miles per hour. iMiicli faster than the old sedan used
fo go but Francis still shows the same skill in driving.
.Margaret Levi took her European trip in the summer of Ii)24
and evidently has not stopped touring yet. Professoi' S a y l e s met
her in XCAV Orleans, and she told him of her ti'ips to the far corners
of the world.
A l o n g with .lohn Rude, the professor found Clayton Rosboro in
the government service. Clayton is the tax Avizai'd of the TTnited
Slates and is employed to give advice on proposed taxes. He surprised Mr. Sayles by his alertness and ability to explain the iieAV t a x
on g i r l ' s shaved heads.
I l a f l i e Carringer aftei- g r a d u a t i n g from college began to express
her opinion on the foi'm of essays. Hei' essays and novels have
attracted great attention and Prof. Sayles savs that the fourth veav

ALBANY'S TERCENTENARY
The othei' day Albany had a birthday celebration. To be exaet
ii oceiii)ie(l tlii'ee days, 1st, 'ind, 8rd of .June. Now you and I think
we are doing well to get a birthday dinner or dance, l)ut when one
considers the ratio of our i-espeetive ages, we ai'e not tlie losers after
all. For Albany, you see, cele])i-ated her three-hundredth birthday,
while you and 1, at the very best, can oidy lay claim to something
inider one hundretl.
The Hrst day, being Sunday, the celebration consisted mostly
(.f sei'vices in the ciuu'ches. Somehow oi- otliei-, the city g a y l y
dressed in all its flaunted bunting and di-apery, gave the imi)ression
of being " a l l di-essed up and no where to g o . " However the next
day this was amply renu'died. The guests watched some I'ather
exciting races on the river, and that evening, if they had any breath
left to sustain themselves while standing in another ciowd, they
viewt'd an historical pageant in Washington Park. I've been told
it was a very good pageant. The neai'est I came to seeing it was
to view one of my young bi'others calmly misnuinaging a spotlight
which was attached to a tree.
(If coui'se the i)arade was the biggest event of the party. The
Avater i-egatta should have been, but considering the fact that all
schools received oiily a half holiday, antl the regatta occui-red in the
inorning, it's iu)t so strange after all. However, as one country
school teacher standing next to me exclaimed, " i t was a si)lendid
(lisi)lay." 1 agi-ee (particulai'ly was the one Greek who had the
nerve to weai' his native costume. H6 looked like a ci-oss between
h ballot dancer aiid a bullfighter).
Many i-eally beautiful floats made gay this procession.
Not
• [uite the last, nor yet ([uite the least was the young parade of a
local milk comj)any. All tlieir wagons (about tweiity), several floats
and all their appai-atus was included. Although a eostunu' ball
formally closed the tercentenary of Albany, one cannot help thinking that really the milk wagons did a bettei- job, since they at least
give a slight idea of what three hundi'ed years can l)ring forth.

my heart was even then choking my throat. Al'tei- much persuasion and entreaty on both sides, Jolin made the woman show us the

A flight of stoiu' steps descended ahuost vertically d o w n w a r d
into the bowels of the earth. We could not see the bottom. If I had

We

of the cave. Inside was a feai-ful darkness. W a i t i n g a moment to

WHO'S WHO
The crowds emerged from the cliureh aiitl gatliered near tlie
entrance. The bells were tolling, the peoi)le collided Avith each other
hi t r y i n g to tind stantling space on the sidewalk. Tlie individuals
seemed to talk sadly and tliose coming out of tlie doors showed
mai'ks of recent crying. They wore exhausted and w e a r y countenances. A n d now, you a s k : " W h a t ' s tlie cause of all this g r i e f ? "
To which question comes the simple and inevitable a n s w e r : " A n o t h e r
soul has passed o n . " In this instance it was a soul of a f a m o u s man
— b r i l l i a n t , indeed, and yet, he, too, was now in the " G r e a t l>eyond"
where fame and brilliancy count as nothing, but where good tleeds
are amply rewarded. F i f t y - t w o cars drove uf), were tilled with passengers and drove a w a y to escort the body to its last resting place on
earth.
The groups standing on the sitlewalk talked about th's
famous man, but soon he would be forgotten also when another
would be found to interest the people.
A small group of six stood on a corner. E v i d e n t l y theii' conversation was light and gay. Suddenly one lady e x c l a i m e d : " L o o k
at those little children on the cui-bstone over t h e i - e l "
A l l eyes
turned and there they saw four small ragamuffins sitting on the cold
curb. They appeared very interested in the funei'al ])rocession and
were most unconscious of the six pairs of eyes cast upon them. One
particular little fellow of ten was holding a l o n g stick, with a cross
l)iece neai' the top which made it i-esemble a child's wooden sword.
The onlookers commented on how hai)i)y these children w e r e — h a p pier indeed, than if they had all the money in the world. One y o u n g
girl said: " P e r h a p s one of these childi-en will be a genius s o m e d a y . "
The others laughed at this girl, although they admitted that such
strange things have often ha])pened. T o d a y , not one of that g r o u p
knows 01- would ever dream that that remark of those children happened to be true.
The little fellow Avho held the s w o r d stayed until the last soldier had passed. Then he trotted home w i t h a new desire in his
h e a r t — a desii-e to make his name famous some day in t h e futui'e.
Who was tliis ambitious youngster?
Forty-three y e a r s later the

SPRING F E V E R
It w a s a warm day, this of course, being bi-ought about by tlie
rays of the sun, absence of wind, etc. Tlie soplioniores were cai'elessly lazy. Not one of them wished to work. One particular student
was on the verge of collai)se. This is common to most large i)eople
on a wai'm day. A s I said l)efore, he w a s on the verge of collapse
W h e n tliird period came he tlid collapse. His head di'ooped, his
eyes tlickeretl, and tlie poor victim of this ])articulai' day was dozing.
It might be said that lie w a s in a stage h a l f w a y between sleeping and
\vaking. Tliis, however, did not pi'event him fi'om di'eaming, and
that is just what he did. This is tlie dream.
l i e came to in a cool green forest. This cei'tainly was a I'elief
as he could not have stood the sweltering heat another miinite; but,
lie asked himself, how in the w'orld did he get tliei-e? No answer,
llowevei-, this did not lessen his comfort. A cool breeze fanned his
red cheek. Another i-ufl'led his hair, l i e drank in the f r a g r a n c e of
wild flowers with a feeling of supi-eme satisfaction. Ah I This w a s
l i f e ! But h a r k ! W h a t w a s t h a t ? It seemed almost a growl, not
unlike that of a dcg. The Siophomore sat up. Something' was rubl>ing his back, l i e commenced to get warm a g a i n — t h e perspiration
stood out on his brow in litte beads. He was not s c a r e d ; he w a s
j u s t scared that he might get scared.
The something still dug.
Fi'antically, he scrambled to his feet. H o r r o r s ! A huge, t a w n y
panther lay staring at him from bloodshot eyes.
Its tail lashed
furiously, and the gleaming f a n g s were hoi-i'ible. The Sophonu)i'e,
finding that he was still alive, r a n — l ) a c k w a r d s . A bi-oken bi-anch
stopped him, and, e x e c u t i n g a neat nose-dive, he landed on a rock.

I have been an alumnus of AHlne f o r neai'ly a yeai', and the time
sui-ely has passetl quickly.
Althougii a year has gone by, there ai-e still many memories that
stand out clearly in my mind. 1 i-enuMnber the day that " S w e d e "
J\Lc'Keon, feeling in the mood of a plumber, p l a y f u l l y unscrewed the
steam valve of the i-adiatoi* in s t u d y hall at a very u n p s y c h o l o g i c a l
monu'iit and nearly flooded the whole I'oom. Tlie event w a s unpsychological because Prof. Sayles w a s s t a n d i n g in the d o o r w a y at the
moment of the disastei*. Mi-. S a y l e s took the c a l a m i t y rather humorously, and told " - l u n i o r " that he had better get the mop. " S w e d e "
made a sheepisli departui'e, and when he returned, i)i'Ove(l himself
a better Hoor cleaner than a plumbei-. I also remember the day last
y e a r when IHll McDonough, aftei' a suggestion fi'om the g e o m e t r y
teache]' that he join a vaudeville act, astounded his fellow classnuites
by announcing that his ambition w a s to drive a sti-eet car.

of Rensselaei', except that the trains stop in Rensselaer onee in a

You Can't Gel Much of a Position Without Shorthand
wShe had worked iiearlj' five years without g-etting- really started.
Other girls were going ahead of her to hold good positions as stenograhers and seeretaries, in whieh they received g'ood pay in addition
to educational and social advantages, and she was standing- still.
No wonder she said, " Y o i i can't g'ct much of a position without
shorthand".
No wonder she decided to enroll in the
ALBANY BUSINESS COLLEGE
No wonder she was pleased with the result when seven months
later she had a good position and saw ahead of her many splendid
opportunities for advancement.
No wonder she was pleased.
Let us send you one of our catalog's. It will help you to plan
correctly for the future.
