Masses of |)eo])le walked hurriedly alont^- i)ushin<;- and joltinj^- one another about. Anion^- the niol) just coniint^- around the eorner was a rout^hly clad man. His face held an c\'il liLiht and was by no means ])leasant. and his manner was not sêntle as he i)ushed his way alonj^-. The keen eyes watchint;- from the window looked frii^htened. Those deep bitter eyes that a moment before had looked almost hajipy held now a tratîc lii^ht. The face which had seemed almost pleasant had become chantêd. It was set and white. The nose aâin seemed too lons^-, the chin too i)()inte(l. and the forehead too hit^h. The white fists clenched tis.;htly, the mouth tis^htened. the delicate lips twitched nervously, and a sob shook the frame (jf the deformed body. A door on the first floor was heard to ()i)en and shut. The boy shuddered, then squared his small weak shoulders. "Hi thar I Wacha doin'?" and a hujê form tottered into the room and sprawled itself across a cot. "Crasnuis ev'. don't ye know thet? Hanson's comin'." Jules knew what that meant. He would spend the rest of the nis^ht in the backroom. Hiere it was so cold that often his hands would turn blue. In the (Mie warm room his uncle and friends would {gamble and drink. Talkin<;thickly and cursini;- one another, they would end in a flight and, if luck favored his uncle, all would go on as usual. lUit if luck went against him it would be too had for Jules. The boy was miserable, lie rose from his chair and swung himself into the next room. He lay down on the couch and fell aslec]). Later that evening, Jules was awakened by a crashing of furniture and glass. He dreadecl the morning. The next time he awoke from ihe cold it was early morning and a soft snow was falling. I^verything was c|uiet and as the boy hunchback looked out. a feeling of hap])iness entered his heart. Today would be his one red-letter day. It was Christmas and Christmas meant a ride in the counlry. lie could see again the beautiful trees and meadows, lie nuisi hurry before his uncle came back. Jules swung himself through the door and on u]) the street. iM-erything was (juiet and calm. The soft snow fell down all around him and tilled him with l)eace. lie didn't mind if ])eoi)le shunne(l him. I^hat night amid the noisy crowds, the thin ugly figuri' of a hunchback' could be seen. Shuddering glances were nunu'rously cast in his direction. I hit in that distorted face a i)air of eyes, dark and solemn, yet hapi)y and full of contentment, could be seen. In half an hour it stood beneath its own fanlight and, with that characteristic s(|uaring of shoulders it entered from tlu' world of bliss into the world of drudgery for one long year to wait patiently for the next Christmas. Ruth Truesdale, '.SO 10 TIIK CRI^[SON AND WHITE JUST A MUTT "Paps, i)a-])crs. i)a-|)crs. lUir-rr, it's cold." nuirnnired a liUic l)()y who was \-ery rai^j^cd and had to blow in his hands to keep them warm.

The dog came over wai^g'ins^- his tail in a friendly way and took a liking to Jimmie at once. "Mere, ^ûtt, let's iô over on that corner nearer to that tree." Jimmie started over and slijjped in the street. There was a .screeching- of brakes, a woman's scream, and the barking of a dog. Jimmie felt only the tuggingon liis coat and heard old}- the barking of a little dog. The car stopped and an elderly man jumped out. exclaiming, "Are you hurt, little boy?" " X a w , I'm all right, mister." Jimmie said bravely, for he had skinned his knees when he fell and it began to hurt. "Whew, that was close and L guess I would have got hit if this nuitt hadn't barked and tugged at my coat, and he put; an alTectionate arm around the dog.

Here is soniclhin.i;- of personal interest to you. for you, too, will exi)erience it. Mow proud 1 have been of my Alma Mater, when in the ])ast two months I have been told soniethinj^- like this, "They certainly had the right idea where you went to high school,'' or again. "Your prep school has given you your start in the right direction." This. Milnites, is the legacy that Milne gives Very sincerely. Constance .Anne AfcCoy •Mbany, x\ew York December 2. 1932 DK.AK Mrr.NTTEs: Once in the lifetime of every Milnite .Alumnus (or alumna) comes the moment to write a letter for the good old Crintsoii and llliifc. \Miat a sim])le matter it is for the .Alumni lulitor to say. "Will you write a letter for oiu" Christmas issue?" P)Ut what an entirely different matter it is for the person who cheerfully answers, "C)f Course" to actually fulfill her promise. This would probably be an easy task for those who are away at college, leading an entirely new and dilTerent life. i>ut 1, well, to make a long story short, I am just another high .school graduate staying around town, waiting for an opportunity to get away. Tn the meantime, I am attending the Mildred I'^lley school which, as you know, is not far from your own "place of business." Now. 1 h()])e you all have a very merry and ])rofitable Christmas holiday and rclnrn to school with all sorts of good resr)lutions for the New A'ear. Very sincerely yours, MARGARICT CROUSF.

Old Man Depression rears his ugly head more menacingly than ever before, hut, nevertheless, we find ourselves increasingly cheerful (1 wonder if Ihis is because misery ])ree(ls contempt, or am I wrong?). This department has determined to institute a fund for the purpose of buying huge quantities of "\\'heaties," "Post-Toasties," and etc.. to feed to ihe junior Jligh School students. W e feel that with such assistance they could not help but increase in size enough to remove from the school whatever resemhlancc to a kindergarten which it now has. As you all know, the first social event of the year was the School Recei)tion. As usual, ])lays were given by the upper classes, and there was dancing in the gymnasium. The newcomers celebrated their debut by systematically destroyingall decorations, etc., assisted, we are sad to say. by certain of the older students. 1 lowever, in spite of this confusion, the ])arty was a great success. That old demon Troui)le seemed to dog the junior-freshmen ])rawl. First, he tam])ered wdth the finances and then, not satisfied, he stole down the backstairs and upset the punch. Mowever. all the Soi)homores and Seniors who attended thought that the affair was a big success. Note: (The decorations were not descrated by the frosh who attended.*) Speaking of dances reminds us that there are (|uite a few amuial events still in the offing—the Soi)homore-Senior i)arty—the basketball games—the O. T. S. A.—the Senior hoji—graduation—and last, but certainly not least, the final examinations. (What a fine thing to talk about—esi)ecial]y at this time of the year.) Tt is now ((uite certain that the annual school gift will be one of a set of nuu-als for the library. The three societies are holding a Christmas dance to assist in raising the four hundred dollars necessary for this work. The return of the legitimate stage to Albany has been greeted with nuich enthusiasm by a certain group of Alilnites. We understand that there is a theatev l)arty at the Cai)itol every Friday evening. Although you will reccix'e this magazine after the Christmas jjlays have been given, we find it ((uite logical to insert at this place a short word about them. The casts have been devoting nearly all their si)arc tinie rehearsing, and we certainly hope that the reward for their services will be in i)r<)p()rtion with the time and labor which they have given. W e also h()i)e that those who ])raise the i)lays will not forget those who have given their time and assistance in the manufacturing of sets, in selling tickets, and in managing seating. And now, we're sorry to say, and you're doubtless glad to hear, that we can lind nothing else to say and therefor we must. i)erforce. cease. Adios, friends (or enemies as the case may be), and we'll be seein' you in the June issue. n. W. 1. '33 * The decorations were fastened to gas-filled balloons and were far out 01 their reach.
