GRADUATION TIME
There is a ])rocessional. a ])raycr, an address to the .^rachiates. an
announcement of the awards, the conferrins^" of the diplomas, a l)ene(hction, and another class has been graduated from the Hii^-h School.
To the school, and to many of the spectators, it is nothing more
than the ])rcsent ceremony.
l)Ut to the graduate, it is a peculiar
mingling of the past, ])resent, and future.
Tt is a symbol of the i)ast, for it marks the consummation of four
years of work and ])lay. It is the reward one gets for taking innumerable l^egents examinations and still more innumerable monthly tests.
It is the proof that one has spent years in learning that z'ottloir takes
the subjunctive, that the dative with sum is the dative of possession,
and that a straight line is the shortest distance between two given points.
And it is the realization that the real thing in life is the accom])1ishment
of a task, with play merely a sugar coating.
The signilicance that graduation holds for the ])resent is evident,
since the present is the greatest of all times.
Hie meaning it has for the future is, like that future, rather dim
and hazy. lUit certain it is that graduation will be as a key to o])en the
gates of business and pleasure to its holders. \\'hether the business
he enters be college or oflice work, it is certain that the diploma, the
symbol of graduation, will make the graduate the more honored and
the more acceptable.
Thus to the graduate is commencement a present realization of
j)ast labors accomplished lor the future.
There will be a processional, a pra\er, selections by the graduates,
an address to the graduates, an annoiuicement of the awards, the conferring of the diplomas, a benediction, and another class will be graduated from the lligh School. T o some it will be a mere ceremony,
but twenty-live seniors will know better.

Since 1''21, WIKMI it was first founded, the Student Council
of Milne lli.^h School has had chari;e of the school's budj^et and
the activities s^overned thereby. The "Crimson and W h i l e , " the
basketball and baseball teams, the orchestra, the (ilee Club, and
the Dramatics Club, are some of the orj^anizations which are dei)enderit
upon the Student Council.
l"\)r three years, too, the Coimcil has had the power to ])un'sh
all those who have defaced the buildins.;' in any way.
lu er}- year the Council a])propri;'.tes money for a school <^ift.
Last year the ^t^ift was a model of Thorwaldson's Triuuipluil Rutrancc
of .llcxandcr.
This year the j^ift will C()m])rise an addition to this
frieze that the whole, when completed, may be used in the new Milne
1 lii^h School.

Oisitory of ike Class of 1927
I remember, I remember
My first (lay in Milne High.
Pou'f you?
It was a (lamp, sultry, rather nnpleasant day. that twenty-fotirth
day of September, nineteen hundred twenty-three.
Hiere were ever so many people up there on the third floor. Such
noise and confusion—laughinj>- and talking among the upperclassmen,
suhdued voices among the i)oor little Freshies. Didn't you feel queer?
Didn't know what to do; didn't know where to g o ; in fact, everybody
took it for granted that we didn't know anything.
Then the bells rang, and ^Miss Gushing came along like a friend
in an enemy's country. She was smiling—not the way the upperclassman smiles, oh n o — a real, friendly smile.
There were some eighty of us who filled out record cards that
day. Wliat questions were whispered around that room!
" H o w do you spell E])iscopal ?"
"Hey. what do you do if you haven't any landlady?"
The cards were collected, and we were dismissed. There was a
rush and a scramble for coats, hats, and umbrellas left up on the piano.
( O f course. Freshmen don't have lockers the first few days.)
And
the first day was over!
The second day was still worse.
had to sign up for our
various subjects and have our classrooms assigned. One can alwavs
tell a Freshman for the first two weeks by his list of classes, periods,
and recitation rooms which he has in his hand every time he steps into
the corridor—a compass, as it were, to keep him to his course. Maybe
we did run along side at fir.st, but we soon got in step, and we have
been on the "forward march" ever since.
A t Thanksgiving and at Hallowe'en the two girls' societies—
Ouintilian and Zeta wSigma—took turns a-rushin' the Freshmen girls.
A few weeks before the Midyear b^xams. we Freshmen were welcomed to ]\Iilne at the School Reception.
.\fter Midyears came initiations. Fen* all the rough treatment front
Ouin. Sigma, and Adelphoi. we came through smiling and holding
our heads high—we've always done that.
Then came the Regent's ICxaminations and sinnmer vacation.
P)ack again! Haughty S()])homores this time. Our ranks were
somewhat depleted, but we closed in and reorganized into a more unified ])()dv. W e were ready to meet all comers.
'I'lll'. CRIMSON AND WHITE

Jean received honorable mention in the Prize Speaking Contest.
W e went into athletics and dramatics with a new vigor and made a
name for the Class of '27.
Wdien we reentered school as the Jolly Juniors, we were determined to emblazon the numerals
'27 " on every school organization.
A n d — w e did it!
Our Dramatic Talent did much in making the December plays
an "event" in the school calendar.
W e heartily supported the Glee
Club when it was founded last year. Ruthie wrested the prize in the
Prize Speaking Contest. It was '27 who did a great deal in promoting
the revival of the now important School Orchestra.
T h e Juniorh^-eshman Masquerade was a great success. In the Student Council,
in Chai)el programs, and in the gymnasium, other honors were ours.
W'e set out with a definite goal before us. W e strove. W e attained our
goal.
Sedate Seniors at last! It really isn't so very different to be a
Senior. Seniors have to work just as hard. Honors come just the
same as ever, (jerry wins honorable mention in the Speaking Contest. The S()i)homores return our Masquerade of last year. I^^ggleston,
Kroll, and l^osbrook are featured in the sporting section of the newspapers.
Marion. Alicia, Ruth. Renetta, and Irma appear as honor
students. This is a rather unusual coincidence in that all five of these
girls were graduated from the same grammar school.
T h e only real difference in being a Senior is that one realizes
more fully then the meaning of the words " A l m a Mater" and "School
Spirit." I^ach has a deeper significance for the Senior. ".Alma M a t e r "
does not mean simply "the school from which I was graduated."
It
means something that no spoken language can convey—love and ven
eration beyond the expression of mere words. "School S])irit" doesn't
mean just attending the school games and cheering until one is hoarse.
O f course, that is part of it, bul it is "School Spirit" which ])uts a
student on his honor to do his level best—yes, to do his best and a little
better. "School Spirit is loyalty to the school and its institutions."
High school days are almost over for us. W e laugh at those who
dolefully recall the fact that they still have one. two, or three whole
years to go yet. bul it is a laugh with the suspicion of a tear in it. W e
are glad for the i)resent to be free from the strain, but the thought
of never returning to our Milne makes us a bit thoughtful, a bit reminiscent. ()f the eighty-five entering as the Class of '27, only twentv-five

T H E CRIMSON AND WHITE
are being .graduated. Many of our classmatcs have dropped by the
wayside in the four years' race for knowledge.
W e stand l)efore the curtained i^ortals of the vast, unexplored regions of life. Shall we step through?

CLASS W I L L
We, the Class of 1927, realizing that what we have been through
is merely a hint of what is to come, do hereby affirm this to be our
last will and testament.
To the Junior Class we bequeath that surplus of knowledge left
us by the Class of '26. W e found no use for it.
'J'o the So])homore Class we bequeath our reputation as the most
"school-spirit"-ed Class within Milne's walls—on condition that they
follow in our well-defined foot-steps.
T o the Freshman Class we bec|ueath our ability to attain [)ronu"nence in spite of draw ])acks. Idiey'll need it.
T o Ed Swcetser we bequeath Alicia Andrews' high hat. willed her
I)y Gleason Speenburgh of '26.
T o Robert Ramroth we bequeath Raymond Kroll's dual position
of class treasurer and business manager of the "Crimson and W h i t e . "
the junior Class we leave a Senior study hall full of Hamlets,
and Vcrgils. and Advanced Algebras, to say nothing of Manuals of
I'^nglish.
To the Crimson and \\'hite Board we leave a gallon of night oil

CLASS POEM
These have I^een years filled with accomplished things:
W o r k , well done, fulfillment of our plans.
K n o w l e d g e has given us with lavish hand
Choice fruits and spices from her ample store.
Ideals that were dead embers, now have hurst
Into gold flames to keep an altar bright.
A n d we have learned, though beauty is to us
/\ still white flower by the water's edge,
That to another it may be a storm
W i t h flaming swords across a threat'ning s k y ;
That through Y o u t h ' s otie short hour we must sing
O u r sweetest, clearest song, so that when youth
1 las claimed her golden hour again, our songWill be remembered : that only love gives
1 lope enough to make our world at rest;
That dreams ahme are real; that peace is best;
That friendship, faith, and trust are holy things.
(jod given, and as such kept in our hearts,
These things we shall remember when all else
J las faded like white ashes on the hearth.
A n d so. our years of comradeship are done.
E a c h one must choose his path to climb the height
y\nd never falter from that path, nor try
T o find one easier, less fine to tread.
May we all have the strength to reach the peak
A n d thank God with the starlight in our e>es.

Now that the httle Ercshnien are preparing to lay aside their
herechtary verdure, the Sophomores are (hscarchng their customary
cloak of sophistication, and the Seniors are about to tune in on those
dear, old alma mater refrains, we. the Juniors, mindful of the dignity
which is soon to be ours, cast off some of our past jollity and assume
the more serious task of recounting the part we have played in Milne's
activities.
O u r first two years of High School life were rather uneventful,
execept for our initiations into the wonders of Adelphoi. Sigma, and
Ouin, and of course, our hungry pursuit of knowledge and the subse(|uent satisfying of our scholarly appetites.
]>ut since we have reached the happy realms of Junior-dom, our
accomplishments have been many.
Not the least among these has been our achievements (of both
girls and boys) in the athletic fields, and we are rightly proud of our
meml)ers. Credit for about six boys who either have been active during the basketball season or are now shining lights on the baseball team,
is due our class. In regard to girls' basketball, we may say that the
team, the first in several years to give the girls a chance to show their
sportsmanly inclinations, was founded largely through the interests
of the juniors, who were represented by the greatest number of members on the squad.
Also during the past year, we have helped to revive an old custom of the school which up until last year has been sadly neglected.
In Xovember, we entertained the b^reshmen by an informal partv and
(lance, which helped, we hope, to establish inter-class interest and a
manifestation of friendly feeling for the new comers.
Then, too, in a scholarly way, we have not been idle. Although
our cup of wisdom is very, very far from brimming, we feel our pursuits in that direction have not been in vain. W e are also proud to
say that in the April prize-s])eaking contest, our colors were set flying
bv one of our members who was awarded the l^'uvn medal.

Junior representatives are now holding successfully important
offices in the societies, and ])Ositions on the Board and Council, so our
pride of Milne's best Junior Class is in full bloom.
And so. with all these thins^'s constitutino- our memories of three
jolly years, we are preparini>' soon to take places in the Senior ranks,
sincerely hopinj^ that we may successfully follow in the foot steps
of our worthy predecessors.

an article to .^race the pages of the "Crimson and W h i t e , " we shall
relate our activities during the past year.
O n October fifteenth we held our first meeting, and the election
of officers.
Oliver Y o r k was again chosen president with Frances
AIcMahon. vice-])resident; Olive IMtts. treasurer, and \Yilliam Sharj^e.
secretary.
T h e first imjjortant event of the year was the Soi)homore-Senior
Party which proved a huge success, lioth classes turned out and gave
their hearty support, making a good time for all.
]\[iss Wheeling.
Miss Johnson and Air. Sayles, chaperoned the dance. W e ho])e that
this event will remain in the minds of our Senior friends for manv
years to come.
O u r members have taken offices in clubs and societies; the English
classes have provided excellent chapel programs; and to top it all one
of our members. Dorothy Piirchenough. won the girl's prize of the
Prize Speaking Contest, and another, Clarence Livingston, received
honorable mention for the boys. W e are also proud of Irene Gedney
who has received letters from Airs. Coolidge and Queen Marie of

It's sprins^tinie. and the Freshmen, generally accused of beinggreen, are blossoming.
May is a little early for blossoms, perhaps,
but then, we are the Class of 1930. O u r class is organized!
A s courtesy demands that ladies be first, allow us to present our
secretary, Loretta Degenaar, and our treasurer, Otilia AlcCartie.
We
know Otilia will not run off with our wealth, and Loretta will kee])
our records faithfully, therefore we consider our choice perfect. ])Ut
it seems that men will always rule. Meet our honored president, Harriman Sherman, and our no less honored vice-president, Gordon W^ills.
Sergeant-at-Arms John Cooper, we hope, will preserve order in a dignified manner. Not that we need it much, you know, but occasionally,—
N o w to go ])ack to our earlier experiences. W e were gathered,
fresh young ])lants. from Albany and the regions round about, brought
to the Milne garden of knowledge and carefully tended and watched
over by experts, the chief gardener being I^-ofessor Sayles.
W e attended games, learned the ways of Milne High from the
Juniors, went to the several i)arties. and grew in knowledge and in our
loyalty to the school. So now the Freshmen are blossoming.

ALUMNI NOTES
My Dear Editor:
It is always a great ])leasure for me to sustain the Crimson and
Jl'hife in any emergency, but i)articularly when, as you intimate, it
needs a center of levity. Nevertheless, it gives me the feeling that T
am paying for. one by one, the sins 1 committed ])y two's and three's.
Once 1 wonderetl why the alumni did not submit periodical fever charts
of their success in life? 1 imagined that their temperature rose with
unwavering perpendicuarity, like Cleo])atra's Needle.
I have lived in the world the span of my class numerals and a
l)are twelve months more. 1 should be unctuous with wisdom but,
frankly, 1 don't see it. .•\p])arently, we do not change much as the years
pass, if there were no youth to follow, follow after, we'd all be young
and there'd be no maturity and never any old age. One pleasant evening last .August, several of our class met by yellow candle light. It
might have been a session in a Alilne study hall with the critic discreetly withdrawn, except that the horizons once bounded by Kingston
Point and the Aunmia Club had broadened to include 1 Tali fax I I arbor,
Hawaii and Lake Como. X o talk here of fmals and the chance of obtaining Professor Sayles' consent to just one more dance. W e were
vividly of the present—trahic regulations, four-wheel brakes, and even
an opera heard by one in Chicago, another in Paris and another lucky
thing in Milan. The stay-at-homes had attended in New \'ork Citw
l l i e r e we were; all the wit. vivacity and charming insouciance that
had once delighted our faculty we still had. and in addition, the lavish
_\'ears had nuiltiplied a hundred-fold their first faint promises of joys
to come.

I suppose I really must give you some advice. A man would not
recognize the necessity of it, but women have a penchant for pain. W h e n
everyone is right and happy, they feel it is better to make him more
so. lest he become less so. The result is apt to become so-so. but here
it is, the song of Private Willis on sentry-go before Stephen's House
of Parliament:
'A\'hcn all night a chap remains
()n sentry-go, to chase monotony,
He exercises of his brains
That is, assuming that he's got any."
Private Willis was an intellectual cha]) and I myself can testify that
exercising one's brains is great stuff to chase monotony.

Mav,
1927
Miluitcs:
Yesterday was May Day here at Wellesley. The whole village,
meaning the freshmen, began the day at 6:15. l^reakfast was at 6:45,
and, l)y 7 : 1 5 we were up on campus to watch the seniors roll their
hoops down T o w e r Court hill. That was a jolly affair and I'd like
to have seen the beginning, for it must have been very funny. 1. however, saw only the last of the race and beheld the winner go dashing
past Eounders in her cap and gown and hockey shoes. Then she was
presented with a bride's l)ou(|uet at the chapel steps. You see, the
winner of the race is supposed to be married first. Hut of course, it
is usually the most athletic girl who can run fastest who wins the race
and is usually the last one in the class to be married! Then, about ten
minutes after the winner had arrived, the rest of the seniors came
straggling along in a regular mob. All seemed bent on rollin-^- their
ho()i)s the full distance and many of them looked very funny. The head
of crew had her cap tied on with wide red ribbon and t()])i)e(l with a
bunch of flowers. The whole affair was extremely humorous.
A f t e r the hoop-rolling, we lined up along the road, the seniors
nearest the chapel, juniors next, then the sophomores, and finally the
freshmen. l loAvever, we, led by our president and vice-president, had
the honor of marching through the line into our wing of the chapel.
It was very amusing to hear some of the remarks along the sidelines,
39
T H E CRIMSON AND WHITE
for the majority of the rest of the colleg-e seemed intent on discoverinfi'
how many freshmen they could reco^^nize. W h e n we finally reached
the seniors, after what seemed an eternity, we were furnished with
a means of keepini^- step. The seniors beat their hoops in rhythm and
so created the sensation of t(Mn-toms. But we were only ^oing to chapel!
h^inally everyone was in chapel and Dean T u f t s led. A f t e r the
brief service, wc waited for the choir and seniors to march out. Then
we made one hasty dash for the door and to T o w e r Court green where
the sophomores had formed 1927. They all carried cards, yellow on
one side and Wellesley blue on the other. When they cheered, they
flashed first the yellow side and then the blue. The most stirrin^^ picture
of the mornini;-, however, was when they formed W E E L E S E E Y on
the hill. Then followed W]^:E. T.ES, E E Y . W h T . E E S L E Y .
With
each spelled syllable the skirls forming that syllable held up the yellow
cards, and at Wellesley there was ]M-inted on the hill in true Wellesley
blue, the name of our Alma Mater.
In the afternoon the freshmen dressed like kids and went to the
pageant wearing very short dresses or rompers, socks, and carrying
lialloon and dolls, and sucking lollypops et cetera. The pageant was
very brief and consisted mostly of dancing, h'ollowing that, we all
]:)layed games on the green.
Then the final touch of May Day was the step singing at sunset
on the chapel steps. It ended with the Alma jNTater and the Welleslc}cheer. A s the last Wellesley was sung, we became silent and back to
us. from across the campus, echoed the loved JJ\'llcslcy. And we went
away. awed.
T o the seniors—good luck and success after leaving AFilne; to the
rest—my very best wishes that next year be a happy one.
Sincerely yours,

The first activil\- of the year, the h^reshman Rush Party, took ])lace
in Xoveniher. The entertainment given hy the niemhers was in the
form of a musical comedy. liesides this, j^ames .were i)layed. and refreshments were served.
