Some (jf you may have been inchned to treat the sul)iect hghtly. I>ut liere is something for }-()u to think ab(jut—there is no game in the world that is fouglit harder, no game in which the competition is so keen, and n(j game in w hich the odds are greater against you than this game of hfe that we all must play. That game is a contest of brains. In order to make the team, or perhai)S to be a captain, a person nuist have outstanding alulity. The best thing for you to do is to go into training iiozv. If you build for y(.)urself a go(j(l foundation, the chances are that you will succeed. Do all you can for yourself now wlfile you have \'Our youth, and you will never have a day of regret in your old age. The youth of today is too anxious to face the w o r l d ; is too anxious to earn a living. Y o u r time will come soon enough ; don't worry about that. W h a t you should do is i)rei)are yourself for it. The better prepared you are, the easier the task will be. One of the best ways to prepare }-ourself is to obtain the best education p(jssible. Don't be to(j hasty in leaving school. Some day you will wish that you were a student again. Start planning now to g o to college. Di)n't be fooled by this talk that "a colleg-e education is the bimk," and that one must get out in the world. Here are some ligures that are of si)ecial interest t(j seniors and should interest all of }'ou. O f all the l)oys who start school, more than a third drop out without even reaching the eighth grade. Another third—almost—sto]) at the end of the eighth grade. The final third go on to high school, but less than half of them graduate. ()nly about one out of every ten boys who start school goes on to college. Even (jf that ten per cent who enter college, less than a third graduate. So that, in all, only about twenty-iive out of every thousand boys (.ntering school graduate from college. Y o u can see for yourself how nuich better the chances of success are for that small minority—the two and a half per cent, who go on and get a full college education. They have something that the other 4 TIll'. CRIMSON AND WHITE niiiety-seveii and a half fellows out of every hundred haven't. That in itself is a big head-start.

Some more iigures compiled by the society that publishes " W h o ' s W h o in A m e r i c a " and based on ten thousand successful men, disclose some very interesting facts. without any education at all has only about one chance in succeeding in life to the point of getting himself Who." in 9,000. _|00.

These poor l)enighted people enjoyed a gijod bull-hght immensely, but of course a j.:(jod bull-light meant one or two people, as well as several bulls, killed. This sport was interesting, l)ut in the course of time such a small numl)er of deaths began to grate upon their nerves. Caesar, the greatest R.oman of them all, started a contest. The man who could invent a game in which the greatest number of men coukl be killed in the most imeiesting wa\' was to receive a ])rize of tvvent}' thousand "bones." This prize was high enough to tempt any man, but no one could seem to win it until one celebrated inventor, Romulius by name, having a very bad dream the night before, suggested football. Of course, it wasn't called football then, having been hied in the jjatent office under the Latin ecpiivalent for "Kill 'lun Quick." The l\omans didn't lead such an easy life after all. After sitting in the stuffy Colosseum all day, they had to see that the common people were amused. L^i)()n this their "rota" (le])en(le(l. liefore the age of football, Ihey had to go about among the lower classes and rouse enlliusiasm about ihe ne.\t bull-hght. I'ut now, all that was necessar)for them to do was to announce that the next football killing would be held in the arena at two iifteen and even the bleachers would be crowded. Therefore, the tired business man of Rome could go home and s])en(l the afternoon with his wife and children. LACLL-:X COLK:, '30 LAUGHTER It was in Siberia. Winter had settled on the frozen steps and a heavy snow lay on the hard frozen ground. The stinking prison camp was even more loathsome than usual. A stench of sweaty bodies lilled the room which, when combined with the smell of disgustingly rotten food, was calculated to nauseate the most hardened of men. T h k CRIMSON AND Wiirn-: lie sat at a tabic with liis feilows and like them, tried to swallow the tilthy swill set before them in hot tin dishes. It was no use; his stomach though pitifully empty, would not hold the stuff. Number iiinet^'-seven, he mused—a great privilege for him to be here, a guest of the Czar. None would ever hear of him again save as number ninety-seven. Ah, here was the bread, almost fresh, only three weeks (jld. He'd have some, surely. He stowed some of the hard nunildy substance in his pockets with a degree of skill that comes only from long practice. H' he ccjuld escape the eye of the drows}- overfed guard, he would go to the yard; it would be fresher there. He felt thru the snow with his hands. Suddenly he felt a fence post frozen to the ground. With a fierce eff'ort he pried it free. Something of the brute in him which long centuries of civilizatio n had failed to sul)due, took possession of him. With an almost su])er-human burst of speed he tore at the guard, lounging beside the gate. As the guard turned, he smote him heavily over the head. He fell without cry. With a wild cry of exultation, he kicked the head from the senseless body and crushed the brain out into snow witli his heavy boots. He lied thru the gates, not knowing where—any where to escape the dirty i^igs the Czar hired to keep him in. He ran singing madly, wild ribald songs of the laborers which he had learned in the salt mines. Presently his arms l)egan to stiffen and get numb, as did his legs, it was very cold. Ikit he was free, as free as any man could l)e in that hated land of ice and snow, ruled by a tyrant ironicall}' called the "little father." He laughed as he thought of his friends in Russia. He was freer by far than they. In a last burst of wild energy he tore off and Hung- from him the rotten rags they called clothes; thus idealistically breaking the last ties between himself and civilization, the civilization of a Czar, a petty tyrant, whose .sole claim to greatness lay in his ability to make men unhappy. A hoarse croaking sound rose to Ids lips, now blue with cold, and forced its way thru—his last laugh. In a frontier cottage sat two officers of the Czar's Siberian guard. One of them roused himself in a startled manner and exclaimed, "1 thought 1 heard a man laugh." " N o , " came the rejily, "Tt was only the wind." M A S O N TOT.MAN, '30. LO TILL".

W h a t was that? W h y , it couldn't be ! Yes, it was—a small graveyard whose ancient, t()pi)ling tombstones seemed to peer like ghosts up out of the long grass. It seemed im- possible, a graveyard in that lonely country with not a house f o r miles around. There were not more than a dozen curved, white stones in ihe little ])lot, with tangled vines g r o w i n g over them. Some of the slabs lay on the ground as if they had wearied in their long vigil and had laid down for a rest. fore one headstone, and Idiere was a h(jne}'suckle vine g r o w i n g be1 stoo])ed to read the inscription thereon.

R O O K , '33 OVERHEARD IN A GREENHOUSE 1 hapi^ened into a greenhouse last summer and heard while there a very interesting and enlightening conversation between two grimly scientific l)otanists. Their discourse ran like this: "M}- dear Professor ISrown, how are } ()u ? 1 haven't seen you since you experimented with the 'Asclepias purpuiascens' in the lab. last winter. Ibnv has the 'Anemonella Thalictroides' been faring these days? it must be pretty hard for it to grow since we grafted it to the 'l lieracium aurantiacum'." " O h , yes, Doctor Smyth, 1 believe it has been a prett}' hard season for it, especially because the 'Scyantorlicaeus' fallen from the 'Oenothera fruticosa' has been causing it to develop less rai)idly even than any 'calamintha Clinoi)odium' that 1 have ever seen. O f course, we can't expect everything to turn out i)erfectly and with clockwork i)recision, as in the case of the 'Cyi)ri[)edium paruitlorum', for instance, in which the tendencies to grow into a larger species of ' 1 lelianthemum Canadense' are ])ractically overcome by the simple i)r()cess of growingit in the same soil as that in which the better breeds of 'Arctostaj^hylos Una-verse' and 'Ai)()cymum Androsaemifalism', not to mentio'i the 'llalienaria ble])hariglottis' have grown." •'Yes, I'rown, on the whole, 1 agree with, especially as regards the ' I lelianthemum Canadense,' which has always been a favorite with me, probably because of its close resemblance to the wonderful 'Vaccinium Uliginosum.' P)y the bye, you never told me how the specimen of 'Taraxacum ofiicinale' that 1 sent you turned out. 1 suppose it grew much in the same way as the ' X y r i s Hexuosa.' didn't it?" "\'es. Sm\'th, it did. Well good-lnx*. i'lease don't forget to ask lones about the 'N'eronica Serphyllifolia Nonebroacensis Angulosa Amplexifolius' that I sent him to g r a f t f)nto a 'common plant—weed.'

Throuj^h one window you can see a pathway that leads throui>h the land of fairy tales; through another you look on the wide blue sea with ships sailing on it—the ships of the \ iking, I'lioenicians, and the Greeks—faraway you can see Sindbad's Island and the land that Marco i'olo traveled; through another you may see a shady pathway that leads to the heart of Sherwood I'orest, where I\obin Mood, Maid Marian. Friar Tuck, and King ivichard are w^aiting for us. Through still another we may see both our heroes, and heroines Lucie.

You'd be surprised to tind howdifferent college is even though you've felt more (M* less a part of it for four years. You know the Milnite feels himself an absolute necessity to the welfare of the college, whereas the college student (one who has never been a Milnite) looks upon him as sort of a necessary evil. It gives me the queerest feeling to overhear senior teachers discussing you. l)Ut don't be alarmed ! I've never heard anything worse than " T h a t Miss — is continually talking in class" or " H o w 1 dread that eight-ten study hall."

J)EAR JMILNITES: T o think this day has really come—the clay that 1 as an alumna should write a letter for the Crmison and W h i t e ! It seems almost improbable to me because four years ago (oh how long that sounds) it was my dimmest dream. N o w L am almost sorry it has happened for it seems to clinch things by saying: "There, try as you may you can never be a Milnite again, only an alumna." O f course being an alumna IS a great comfort but truly 1 would love to experience once more the thrill of trying to make the 8:10 bell at 8:15. It's such a tingling feeling. Thank you so much for asking me to write. Sincerely ANNE LERNER. March 26, 1930 DEAR ERIENDS: 1 lave any of you ever experienced the feeling that you were growing old ? Tonight when 1 was asked to write an Alumni note for the "Crimson and White." 1 felt just that way. Imagine—old enough to achieve the Alumni column of the "Crimson and W h i t e ! " W h e n I was at Milne i never thought that T would some day be writing such a note. How quickly time flew and now 1 am actually an Alumna. J only ho]ie that you will all join our ranks. A s an Alumna, my interest in Milne has not diminished—in fact, it has increased. 1 am happy to know that the Q. T . S. A . dance was a success, but 1 regret that 1 could not have been there with you. 1 wish you success in all your undertakings. Certainly you must be proud of your new home, for it is an inspiration to us a l l — f o r — o n c e an Milnite, . llways a Milnite BEATRICE C A S E .

Y C O U L S O N , '27 THE UKAR CRIMSON AND WnITII 3657 AJILMTKS: May I add niy hunihle offering- to the many which more illustrious ahnuni than 1 have sent to you. 1 wontler if \ou really know what a wonderful place Alilne is? There is so much more to a school than just four or live classes a day. There is, around Milne, an intangible element which has been built up by such organizations as the Crimson and White, the dramatic and literar}- societies, and by athletic C(jmpetition. 1 f classes were all, everyone would be in a great hurry to get through and go home. Instead, it takes cjuite a while for the building to empty. Y(ju linger because Milne has more to give than just technical education. An example of this is the girls' l)asketball team. It may n(^t be the joke it used to be, l)ut it would not be possible to have more fun than we did. When ever}-one is l)usy and interested, there is a spirit of smiling friendliness in the air. It is alive and cjuite contagious. I'erhaps you have noticed it during the live or ten minutes when classes are passing. i\.ll this may sound to you, the present Milnites, like so much "lingo," but 1 assure }'ou that if }'ou look, you will fmd this wonderful spirit. Jf you talk with Professor Sayles and some of the advisors, i think they will agree that Milne is nuich more than just a brick building. It is not the class discussions, interesting and funny as they often are, that you take with y(ni when you graduate. It is the wonderful feeling that comes when you have been subjected to such a friendly spirit for four years. My message then, if it 1)e worthy of the name is this:—Recognize and enjo)' t(j the full, that unique spirit of friendliness which is inherent in Milne. M A R1C )RY II.

Another basketball season has just been completed which has been the best Milne has ever enjoyed. ()ut of thirteen g-ames we have trium])hed twelve times, beinj^- turned back only once after a hard light by Albany .Academy. Since we defeated Academy earlier in the season, h(jvvever, we feel that we have a right to be considered on equal terms with them. ()ur victories this season have included such teams as Canajoharie, Albany Academy. Chatham, T r o y Country Day, and the strong c[uintet of the State College h'reshmen. ()ur victori(nis team was coached this season by Rutherford C. liaker, who was ably assisted by h^rank Ott, one of State College's varsity men. It is only right that they should receive due credit for the successful team which they worked hard t(j develop. Through their efforts and patience, a team was built that did credit to the name of Milne, and which, perhaps, has raised her a little higher in the esteem of other schools. It is the writer's opinion that the students of Milne should not expect to be represented year in and year out 1)y such a successful team as that of the i)ast season. A winning combination cannot be put together every year, and since four of this year's team are graduating, the prosjK'Cts for the immediate future look somewhat dimmer. W'e sincerely hope however, that the student bodv will get behind next year's team, and give them the same line support that was accorded this year's team. The cheer leaders are to be congratulated for their splendid work this season in helping the school exi)ress its spirit through cheering. The varsity team this year was made up of Captain Carl W i r s h i n g and llarriman Sherman, forwards; George Rosbrook. center; William Sharpe and lUirgess Garrison, guards. The boys worked hard all TjIK CklMSOiN AND VVlllTE I9 season, and their efforts and achievements are appreciated by the whole school. The follow ing statement and comments on the players were secured in an interview with Coach Rutherford C. Ijaker. Coach Baker said: " W e started this season with a team of veterans and mostly seniors, who, with the exception of one or tw(j, had not had much previous basketball ex])erience. 1 will admit that our prospects did not look so bright. A f t e r a few weeks practice, however, it was evident that the team would be fast. The schedule was a little ragged in spots, due to the cancellation of some of the games and the securing of others, but we got going at the very outset and never stoi)pe(l. W e pulled througli the season with the tine record of twelve victories and one (k feat which i)robal)ly is the best record ever made by any Milne team. This year's team was the best and most consistent one that has represented Milne since I have been here, it was very aggressive and fast and, along with exceptional good shooting, formed a very hard combination to sto[). h'rom my personal experience with high school teams, I can safeiy sa)' that Milne lligh School this year had one of the hardest figluing teams 1 have ever seen. Wlien they graduate in |une my most sincere wishes f(jr success goes with them." Tlie following are the final scores (jf the games played this season: 1 2 Milne " 36 30 3 " >5 4 5 6 7 8 9 TO TI T2 13 " " " " " " " " " " 18 26 37 37 31 15 20 40 30 14 Totals 339 Mount Upton Delmar () i6 " Academy Troy Country Day School. .

TIN-: C K I M S O N AND WHITI-: 21 WILLIA^r SHARI'K Right Guard "Sliarpe and Garrison, while not receiving any great amount of credit during the season, certainly proved beyond a doubt that they were the most outstanding guards Milne has had in a long time." BURGKSS GARRISON Left Cniard " W h i l e the su1)stitutes were unable to i)lay a great deal in tinscheduled games, nevertheless when ihey were given an oi)i)()rtunity to show their ability, it was bright in spots, which means that with lots of hard work they )iii(/ht come through next year. Unless they 1)uckle down to serious work, however, we cannot ho])e to CF)ntinue (nir splendid record of this year. Next year's team will be built around Captain-elect Rosbrook."
