OUR LAST
WORDS
Farewell! We know not whether it be forever, but we are coniident that no one of us will ever be lost sight of in the swirling maelstrom of human events. We shall do our utmost to keep our "head
and shoulders above the crowd." We shall keep forging ahead, with
definite purpose, a shining goal, and the memory of Milne in our hearts.
We shairtreasure the precepts of our teachers, guard them, cherish
them, fuse them into our lives with bands of love and friendship. We
shall fit these precepts into our own experience, not as mere platitudinous advice, but as vital expressions of wisdom, pointing in one direction—forward.
Happy recollections! Well we remember our first thrill as Freshmen, about to participate in a world of our own; everything was inte:"esting, full of possi1)ilities. As each year sped by, we assimilated learning, and stored it away in our intellectual treasure houses. Our classmates became more endeared to us, and our teachers and studies formed
a vital part of our existence. Cheerful, ever willing to help as they
were, our unfailing gratitude pays them deserving tribute.
It is true that we studied earnestly and zealously; that we strove
to keep our scholastic record high, for the honor of our school; that
we endured hours of anxiety and perhaps of discouragement. But
there is another phase of our life that we enjoyed equally well—our
athletic and social activities. Our basketball and baseball games have
been attended with splendid spirit, our dances well patronized, our social functions successful. We are coming to a fuller realization of the
importance of our extra-curricular activities.
As still another commencement approaches, and another graduating class prepares to assume its responsibility in institutions of higher
learning or in the business world, these treasured memories throng
eagerly to the minds of all. And mingled with the regret of departing,
springs a mighty resolve that, as the first class to graduate from our
new High School, we will blaze the trail to new honors and added
glories for our beloved Alma Mater.

when it was founded, the Student Council has had
charge of the school's hudj^et and the activities ji^overned thereby.
T h e Council of 1(^29 has just completed its yearly tasks, which
have been heavier than usual, but much more enjoyable because of the
new buildins^s.
A desk has been placed on the second floor corridoi
where a Student Council member ^ives information and supervises the
order.
This year the O. T . S. A . dance j^iven by the Student Council for
a scholarship was very successful.
Forty dollars from the receipts
have been appropriated for books for the new library.
T h e Council has compiled a pamphlet for next year's freshman
class.
T h e pamphlet explains the extra-curricular activities of Milne
l lij^h School, and the scholarships and prizes which are presented at
graduation.
This is a new project, and we hope it will be continued
in the vears to come.

T h e "Crimson and W h i t e " was founded in 1905, and lias continued
ever since to he one of our most imjxjrtant extra-curricular activities.
It illumes the ideals of Milne and her rei)resentative talent.
T h i s past year, improvements have been made in the form and
content of our publication.
A sports editor has been chosen; depart-
ments have been enlarged; stress has been laid on the literary jiurpose
of the magazine.
Gradually it is assuming the proportions of a i)ub-
lication of lirst class calibre.
N e x t year, with the student body doubled, let us hope that it will
exceed all ex])ectations and l)ecome truly worthy of Milne's emblem
of Crimson and White.

wanted to learn to play j^'olf. T h e idea of an orchestra for dancinij
there at night sounded j^'ood to me, too. With Menry as its leader—it
certainly will be a success."

Gedney wasn't there to play for us. I certainly was glad to hear ot
the great recej^tion that welcomed her in Italy on her ])ian() concert

D o r o t h y — " Y e s , it is especially funny when you consider his position in the world today as the foremost Latin critic. He has certainly
done a great work by translating that ancient Greek e])ic which Esther
Hilton, famous woman archeologist, has uncovered in recent excavations near Athens."
Helen—"1 was so glad to hear that John Castor and Clarence
Livingston are doing so well.
1 always thought that engineering a
bridge was t|uite an undertaking, but it is evidently merely child's
play to those two."
D o r o t h y — " W a s n ' t it a shame that hdeanor Curtis had to leave

Ikit then 1 sui)p()se William j u n i o r needed her more than we

Helen—"I always thought that Janet Cami)bell would be an ideal

H e l e n — " I was so glad that Oliver Y o r k was there last nij^ht when

Women in State College."
H e l e n — " Y e s , and I've heard that she has received offers from
larger colleges for the same position, but she has heard that many of
her fellow graduates from Milne have decided to send their children
to State, so she wants to wait until they are under her guidance."
D o r o t h y — " i ' e t t y Roemer seems to be very content with her position, doesn't she?"
H e l e n — " W e l l , she certainly has every reason to be—the position
as private secretary to J. P. Morgan, the multi-millionaire, is not to be
scoffed at."
D o r o t h y — " M o r e n c e Smith has found her life work, at last, a^
President of the Mothers' Club of Hoosick Falls, and she seems to t)e

Mildred Stone was so interested in Helen Pauly's little girls question about geography? Mildred is certainly an authority on this sui<ject, since she teaches fifth grade geography."

The various activities which the class of '30 has undertaken durini,^ the past year have been for the most part very successful. Our
"stunt" at the school reception certainly was rather unusual. Although perhaps it lacked talent in a large amount, nevertheless we
believe that our "humble best" furnished amusement. The Juniorh^-eshman ])arty with Its novelties was all that could be asked for m
the way of an informal gathering at which we could all g^et acquainted.
Our President ably represented us in this year's annual prize
speaking contest. We cannot forget to mention the work of many of
our boys on the teams. Our girls did their bit by loudly cheering the
boys on to victory.
The Juniors have just completed this year under the leadership
of the following officers:
President
Vice I'resident
Secretary
Treasurer
Sergeant-at-Arms
TTarriman Sherman
Carl Wirshing
Helen Wiltsi-;

The Class of '30 offers the Class of '29 its sincerest wishes for a
hapjjy and prosperous future. It is the earnest hope of the Juniors
that on their graduation they will have completed four years as successfully as the present Senior Class has done.

The 1928-29 calendar of the Class of 1931 was marked by continual activities. Friendly courtesies were exchanged at the School
Reception for the Freshmen. ()n January 22. 1929, the Class of '31
was pleased to return the hospitality previously extended to us by the
Class of '29. A large number of the class attended the Q. T. S. A.
dance and greatly enjoyed this social event. We were represented by
T.orna Drowne in the I'rize Speaking Contest. The final social aifair
of the year was the Varsity Dance at which a large rei)resentation
of the class was present.
Our l)oys and girls have done much to bring the class into tlv
limelight. The boys succeeded in representing us in basketball and
baseball, while the girls made us proud of them by their prowess in
dramatics. The class as a whole has given the teams its moral (and
vocal) support by attendance at games. We have entered all school
contests with a spirit of competition that has forced our elder opponents to work very hard to keep their laurels intact.

As this school year nears a close, we Freshmen are prepariii.^ to
discard our traditional verdure.
During the year all our anticipations
of Milne have been fully realized, and we are grateful to the upperclassmen for the kindly interest which they have manifested in us.
The party given by the Juniors for the Freshmen was thoroughly enjoyed, as were also the basketball games and other social functions
which we attended.
At a meeting in April, our class, assisted by Juniors, organized and
elected the following officers:
President, Robert Harding; Vice Presi-
dent, Betty Chapman; Secretary, Lois Potter; Treasurer, Herbert Wilson; Sergeant-at-Arms, Richard Morgan.
Three members of our class have attained other positions of honor.
Virginia Garrison was chosen to participate in the annual prize speaking contest, P)etty Chapman has been appointed assistant business manager on the editorial staff of the "Crimson and White," also the representative of the Freshman Class on the Student Council Hoard, and
Rob Harding as our representative on the Athletic Council.
N o w that we have been initiated into the activities of Milne, we
are eagerly looking forward to our Sophomore year.

students in the school, both scjuads have performed excellently.
At the time of j^'oing to i)ress we have i)lave(l three baseball
frames. Rensselaer defeated the Milne "nine" by ii to 5 in a fast contest at Ridjj^eiield. The njxt week saw a better attempt of Milne. W'j

After the last t^anie. we celebrated our successful year at Jack's
Restaurant. At the Varsity lianquet. Doctor Roj^ers of Leland Stanford University. California, f>ave a line talk on athletics. "Po])" Sayles
drew the relation between athletics and education, and Coach I'aker
said a word on our future athletics. "Ollie" York was toastmaster and
Carl Wirshinij;- i)layed the school sonjj^s. The awards were i^iven out by
the coach, and the new (officers were announced.

On April 12 the annual Prize Speakinj^ Contest was held. Helen
Cromie won the j^irls' medal with a selection from "Quality Street,"
and ( )liver York won the boys' award with a selection, entitled "The
Monkey's Paw." Miss Cromie was coached by I'lorence Gormley and
Mr. York by Wallace Strevell. Added attraction—school Orchestia
and (ilee Club.
()n April 26, the \'arsity Dance was held in the State College Gym.
Hie ])urp()se of this dance was to raise money for new baseball uniforms. Accordini^- to Robert Wiley, President of the Varsity Club,
the dance was fairly successful.
The honor students were announced on May 6 by Miss Wlieelinj^-.
The entire student body was not present at the time, and for their
benelit the announcement herewith follows in print. Irene Gedne^leads the class as valedictorian, [.aura I'letcher is salutatorian. Dorothy liirchenouj^h is third, l-'rederick I'. Flail, jr., fourth, and Helen
Cromie fifth.
The baseball season opened on May 8 at Ridj^eheld in a seveninniiif;- j^ame with Rensselaer High School. Milne lost with a score of
12 to 4. As a whole, the team played very poorly, but, with more i)ractice and more interest, it can do much better. Our next game is with
Iloosick Falls, at IToosick Falls, May 15.
At the suggestion of Miss Wheeling, the Student Council has
adopted a measure to issue a i)amphlet next year for the convenience
THE

and Ijenefit of incominii" classes. This l)()()kk't will contain information rei^ar(linj>- essay i)ri/.es. prizes for proficiency in certain subjects,
scholarships, athletics, societies, school mai^azine, and other extra-curricular activities. It is to be a handbook of Milne llis^h School. W'e
think it an excellent idea and we h()])e that it will be successfully carried out.
On May 15 the Student Council elected its officers for 1929-30.
They are as follows :

Another year has ])asse(l, and one that has proven successful for
Sif^ma. The I'reshmen Rush I'arty, the Sigma Banquet, the joyous
time of Girls' Day, and the Sigma Outing were among the principal
activities of the year. The members have shown the true Sigma spirit
and have carried out the programs of the year exceedingly well. The
social meetings have proven a benefit both in literary and social

Marie Judd, our honored President, has led—and g-ently prodded
from behind—Quin into and through a highly successful year. Our
tasks and accomplishments are as one.
W e ])ursued I'^x'shmen and caught them—to the members f)'
twenty-three. They seem very agreeable in captivity, and are amiably
working with us. Alternating- with aiding the progress of the Q. T.
S. A. and the \'arsity, we undertook a Quin i)aper. Was it successful?
Dot llotaling- and Jane Tugh had charge of it. Need more be said?

my lunch money and converts it into Ouin dues. How she can see
money in the offing ! Since her coming, however, we're ))ros])erouslv

We are taking Quin's colors even into the Girls' Day ])lay. Marjorie Williams, Helen Wiltsie. Janet Mallory and I—me—have parts.
Looking into the future thus, 1 can see that it is about time 1 rounded
this off with a "good luck," to every one and "a merry something or
