A SONG
1 '\'e made a little song that sings
O f butterHies with powdered wings.
O f fuzz\, yellow bumble bees.
And clo\er bending in the breeze.
O f golden clouds at sunset time
And sandy hills that 1 can climb.
O f purjile berries on a tree.
And shells that listen to the sea.
A part of it is like the tune
O f winds that whisper to the moon.
And part is like the magic light
O f bonfires on an autumn night.
When there is no one else about
I'll let m> song go floating out.
And children in a far off land.

THK CRliMSOX AND WHITK
PINKS
O n the outskirts of one of the peaceful, little villafies situated alonj;
the Hudson, stood Nancy's home, a pretty hut sedate sort of cott;;j2;e \\ith
closed blinds and a solemn air; a short distance a^\•ay, in the \ery next
house lived J i m ; and the bed of pinks j^rew between them.
iMany }ears a^o, in the happy }()uth of both their lives, they had been

As the years went by,
they }2;rew lonelier, and each lonj^ed more and more for the other, but
their pride, A\ hich had cost them so much, remained iirm.
O n e day, however, Jim was ^vorried.
It was late afternoon, and
because he had A\ atched all day, he knew Nancy had not come out to care
for her f^arden as she had been accustomed to do.
Me peered cautiously
at Nancy's flowers through the \ines, which secluded his porch, at a perfect array of marij2;()lds, dahlias, hollxhocks, and their usual companions

T h e only answer ^\•as, of course, "rheumatics," the old trouble-maker
who had so often kept her in the house.

Jim's lirst response to this tpies-
tion was a determination to assume the responsibility of their \\elfare by
}j;oin^ o\er immediately to \vater them himself.
Hut then he hesitateil.
Should he sacrifice the pride and the haufj;hty diji;nity, cherished through
all these years, for a mere handful of flowers?
N o , he wouldn't.

She had said,—"forever."
Still, he could not free his thoufihts from the bothersome iiuestions

Visions of Nancy as she had been as

forget his resentment, and made him start for the water sprinkler time

i^ut the picture of a different personage, a defiant, little lad\

GRANDFATHER
Outside the wind howled, and I was glad of
the cozy grate lire before me.
This, I reHected, was the same room in
which my grandmother had kept the Northern soldiers at bay while her
sweetheart escaped.
M y grandfather himself seated before this very fire-
place had often told us how noble she looked \\iien she told him to go
M'hile she took care of the soldiers.
Having drifted into a semi-stupor, 1 was recalled to myself by the
sound of a voice soft and low at first then a little louder and more persistent as if pleading.
Drawn by the sound, 1 turned toward the doorw ay
and saw a man and woman entering.

With a word of protest and a kiss, Grandfather went, and just as

she could keep them there, but none of them moved.
There was a ^reat

sometime
while Grandmother remained unperturbed.
Gradually the voices died awa\, and blinkiiifj; 1 saw that I had lieen

committee responsible for this pleasant evening should be congratulated.
I'he committee consisted of Beatrice Case, Ruth Reynolds, and Catherine
'I'raver, Robert Ramroth, and Manton Spaulding. Dance programs were
a no\elt> this year and the decorations received especial admiration from
the faculty and the students. Rainbows of confetti added color and as
liesides the one hundred dollars
usual furnished a great deal of fun.

Part of this will
be used to purchase books for the ne\\- Milne High School and the rest
will pay for the orchestra engaged to pla\' after the Prize Speaking
Contest.
I'he members of the faculty who were iiuited to attend the dance
were:

Miss Elizabeth 1). Anderson.
Miss Anne E. Cushing.
Miss L. Antoinette Johnson.
Miss Klizabeth

A
NEW
PRIZE IN M I L N E
HIGH
in a recent conversation with Miss Wheeling conceiiu'iig jirizes, the
desirability of a new prize in English was suggested to be olifered in Milne
High.
'I'he idea arose from the need of recognizing consistent interest
in I'lnglish of pupils in l\Iilne High.
This prize will be noxel in man\ wa\s.
it will be awariled
for
general excellence in examinations and class marks in English over a period
of four years,
in this respect it differs from the Essa\' I^rize in that the
latter is given for one specific achievement onl\.
'i'he new prize will
amount to $\{) (ten dollars) and will be given by those College students
who, since September 1927, have taught English in Milne High.
it is hoped that this new prize will stimulate a desire for impro\ement in English.
