A HAPPY NEW
YEAR
Just bccaiisc this year is old, vcM-y old, there is no reason why
we shonld not wish it a blessed farewell. This we do in all humility,
realizini^- thai as individuals and as a student body, we have often
\\ aste(l niueh of the ])riceless time 1928 has so o-enerously offered us.
T.et this be one of the resolutions with which we shall s^'reet this
])romisin_^- infant, youn^- 1929—that we shall not waste time. 'I'ime
brinies oijportunity, opportunity brin.^s success—that is the messaj^e in a nutshell! Another resolution we Milnites shall make is
that we shall supi)ort our s])lendi(l basketball team. If they know
that we are back of them to the last man, this confidence and encouram"ement will stimulate them to untold x'ictories.

1 ha\'e been broui^ht from my home in the forest
'I'o hel]) spread Christmas cheer.
I am ha])])y and ])roud to be chosen
An ai^ent in this worthy career.
My limbs are adorned with ornaments
]\Jy ti]) with a silver star,
y\nd my many li.^hts which beam so bris^htly
Are seen by the traveler afar.
Many g'ifts pre])ared with lo\'e
Are piled upon the tloor.
And as 1 see the joy they give
It thrills me o'er and o'er.
]\ly boughs bend low—my life ebbs fast—
Soon 1 shall be cast away—
I'lUt my heart is full of the happiness
That's reigning this Christmas Day.
