Social Events
The 1937-1928 social season of Milne High School began
with the senior high reception which was held in the commons.
It was a collegiate dahce v/ith music hy Barty Zabin^s orchestra. I'he following week the Junior High Reception was
held. The Quin Rush was the next big event. It was held in
the small gym and much credit goes to Damia vvinshurst who
was in charge. The boy's societies had thoir initiations in
November and both Theta Nu and Adelphoi had outings at
Thacher Park. Sigma's Rush wqs next in order. It was a
grand rush which was enjoyed by all the sophomores, armistice Day was our first vacation of the year. It provided us
v;ith a short vacation which was wclcomly received. Thanksgiving Vacation was next. We enjoyed it and liked th4 first
touch of cold weather, i^^delphoi and Theta Nu held a now and
successful dance, December 11. It was the first formal of
the year, and many well known alumni turned out. Of course,
our Christmas Plays ended the first semester's social season
and we do ov^e the Dramatics Club a vote of thanks for their
fine plays.
Quin will add another attraction to the Social Calendar
when they hold a luncheon for their alumnae during Christmas
Vacation. Sigma has an alumnae association now, and they
seem to be quite busy with theater parties.
The New Year will usher in the mid-year exams. It also
brings the Quin-Sigma Dance and the Hi-Y-G.fi.C. and a party
for both Senior and Junior High School. When v/e recover
from our Mid-Year Exams in the Easter vacation and finally
May rolls 'round with the Q/I.S.iw and we have Society Day.
Of course you know that Class Night and Graduation come
in June followed by the Senior Ball. The very end of the
Year will be the Excursion and we'll see you then.

I set out for college with a hap^^y heart, determined to
make the best of this ne"^ life and to overcome all obsta,cles. When I first saw the stately pillars of Chand Eagh
and recognized Isabella Thoburn College, I said to myself,
"Ky life, too, must be straight with no blemish."
Everything was strange a,nd confusing,but the friendliness of the older girls, who acted as guides., saved the situation.

In the everting we m^ere taken on a tour of inspection of

the campus wa',s viewed from an obse':'vation roof. My mindwas

The third day we attended fifteen minute classcs and
came to know our classmates.
Though the older students
teased us until ^^'e couldn't believe a word that they said,
we bore up gallantly.
All rood thiners must come to an end when we settled
down to work, but the memory of the first few days in col-lege will serve to feed "smiling thoughts hereafter," and we
will look back to them with a mixture of regret and happiness, glad to progress but sorry to lOGe those days of excitement forever.

high school that you never compare the two cf them.,
I am at Skidmore and like it very much.
If
any of you girls are seriously tninking of colleges
I surely recomj.iend Skidi'iiore. I am. -Qaking the secretarial course and am planning to bo a big business v.'oman. Notice the "planning" part. That does
not imply that I vrill be'one, Instead of lust getting a straight nusiness course I ax.i also studying
various culture courses to soe if I like anyr.hing
else.
The spirit up at school hei'O is so v/onderful,
especially for the freshmen. ./hen a now class enters, it is astounding to see how friendly all the
girls are.

WHAT A LIFE I
One of the best
evidences of the depths into ^^'hich our
i-iodorn society
f.'^.llen is thp.t p:atnering of young people
'cnov;n
the d'-^-ncing school. It seei.is the fp.te of luost of the
young innocents in this fp.ir city p,nd undoubtedly in most
others, to be pounced upon "'ithout uercy at the tender
age
?.nd nr.rched off to d^.ncing cl^^^ss, There they are suiDoosed to
lose p.ll- r>.wkivardness and lack of poise, and come out finely
polished ladies and gentlemen, who Fill from then on feel perfoctly at ease in any
situation. There are some, of course,
7mo r.re d...priv.:d of this important education, but they ••\re the
untouchables; they -r docmed forev^^r to the ranks of thj str.g
line rnd the ^"allflo^'':rs . Let us not talk of theu; thoy arc
not even fit to enjoy this voT'ld of ours. Let us turn our
attention, insteai to those favored younp: peo^^le ^"ho ^'^'ill so; e
day be the creai.i of society.
Let U R , for example; m a k e a call uioon "Miss Hester K o b s o n ' s
O-'/ncing School for Youm? Ladies and Gent lei.icn." But let us,
f i r t, be seated firi.'ily -^.nd finally in the balcony, ^'^hcre, as
c".surl
observers, our position is safest. We have '\rrived
3arly,
nd the only ones there ^re Kiss Hobson hersolf ;^nd
Egbert vith the pclasses, v ' h o al^'^'.^ys

trying'
politely to

01
^ . • • . o r r i c s to think of him.
Soon the young frentlemen berin to
drift in just so many dark suits and v.^hite shirts. The threepiece orchestra f.lso drifts in,
and ^rr-'^.nges its
selectionns,
bcth fev/ in number and rare in vintapce. More young gentlemen
arrive; vhere cp.n the femialG miembers of the org.'mization be?
But therei' Much gigrlin^ and swishintT of skirts heralds the
grand entrance of these blushing beauties, the nride and joy of
Miss Hester H obson, Res-olendant
in vari-colored taff.:;ta, viih
here rnd there a radical
in some other m.at er i-'^.l, they enter,
shi'-'.ke hands vith Miss H ester by whom they r>re '>.11 cilled dif-furent n^mes than their own,
and Ge?^t themselves on one side,
of the room, not even awpre of the presence of the young gentlemen, plthou^rh there are -t least fifty of these*
The
li'.Xt
nov: go into a huddle, in their turn completely irrnoring the
fair objects across the room.. What cordiality and vrarm.th are
displc'.yed by those friendly relationsi
Suddenly the liechts g-^o"; di-., the music starts and wc
lean forward excitedly and grip the arms of cur chairs, for the
groat game of "learning-how—to~dance" has "begun. En masse, the
young gentlemien approach the enemiy, and, after careful scrutiny,
choose partners. Scm.e of the young gentlem.en seem to have
their signals mixed, and have a tendancy to stray in the
opposite direction, but are soon straightened
out by Misa
Hester, v/ho herds themi back into her little fold. Soon every
one is d?ncing, little boys, big boys, fat boys, thin boys;
chubby girls, stubby girls, skinny girls, girls with glasses*
They all look, strangely enough decidely blp.nk of expression,
and are not always evenly matched. That couple over there,
for instpnce, is very unevenly balanced. The female half, or
perhaps we should say three-quaters, seernxs to hpve all the
advantage on her side. While over there by the orchectra, the
teensy slip of a girl is completely eclipsed by the huge football player who is trying to steer her around the roomi, and
wishes
;.he were back on the football fields
After a few minutes of this, the music, which never seems
to change, stops, and there is a mp„d scr<arable for seats. No^
sooner havQ the dp.ncers had a chance to recuperate, than it
starts up again, and once more the young ladies are thoroughly
locked over. It. is easy to tell by the boy's appearance v/hoC-t
or what, he is seeking, rf
he runs up and down, peering eagerly i\t the rows of fem.ale charm.ers, he is locking for that
cute blon^ whose toe he stepped on when they ¥SDe comdng in.
If he is more thoughtful, no doubt he is trying to pick out the
one y/ho would p.ppear to be lightest on his feet. If he is not
searching whole heartedly, has one eye on Miss Hcbson and one
on the door, he is probably just looking for cousin Susies'
daughter Jane, with whom he was instructed to dance*
Let us now listen miore closely and try to get the personal
side of the theme. There is P apparently a set rule for conversation between partners, no doubt taught by Miss Hester, ^""'hen
we weren't here. The typical set of questions p.nd.:
ans^^^ers run
soiiiething like this.
Young Gentleman:-- "May I have this dance?"
Young Lady:- "Certainly," or "Yes," or just a gleeful
sm.ile of conque^^t.
Y. G.:- "My nam.e is John Ellsworth; ^.^'hat' G yours?"
Y. L.:- "Mine's Mary Jones'"orth. What school do you
go to?"
Y. G.:- "I go to High,"
Y. L.:- "Oh, I go to Skem."
(Both of these names are
no doubt in code.)
After this great outburst of conversation, there is a silence, broken occasionally by a brave p.ttempt on the part of one
of those involved to talk p„bout something. "Something" always
consists of:-one"the lights; two-the temperature; three-the
crorded condition of the floor. four:-Miss Hester Hobson. Add
thp.t brings us to the ori^^inator of this ^'''hole scha'-.ie, Kiss
H. herself. Where does she fit into this picture? Hiss H.
flits pbout, hither and yon, se-in?7 that eve-^yone is happy.
This Titanic task seems to bother her not at all. 'Ve v;onder
•greatly at Miss Hester's endurance, and, the situalion having
become too complex to cope i-ith, ve take our hurried leave
feelinfT, as T'^e a:o out, apprehensive as to the future havinp
seen some of its veneration. Let him who "^'ill try to disentai^ffi:lo this national problem, and decide what ourrht to be done
about it» We wash our hands of this matter.

Friendship
Friendship is one of thp priceless possessions of human
beinrs. A fruitful friend is ^^ who will accept our .briefs and
troubles, he who will try to overcome them with us and the kidd
of a person xvho will sho"' kindness and truthfulness to us.
Friendships sould .-^ive you a new and bri^rht outlook on life.
A person is a friend who knows all about you and still
likes you. "If you would have friends, be one," said albert
Hubbprd when asked what one should do to increase his friends..
It is a rift to be a.ble to make friends for it takes power to appreciate whatever is noble in another. A person is not
useless while he has a friend, nor while he is a friend.

VIRTUES OF LAZINESS
The virtue of lazinc-ss consists principally in its
effect upon the mind of the idler. In those rare moments
when we can serenely tell our work to go to the devil till
morning because we just don't want to do it. We feel a
sense of triumph. Once more, mind has conquered manner;
slavery^ tas given way to the sublime. We stretch out with a
feeling of perfect abandon and carefreeness. No matter if
skies fall and teachers thunder, today we are definitely NOT
going to look at that despised task. Later on, we plan, we
shall devote Saturday to it, and set m shop with gallons of
ink and reams of paper, but now we are free.
The hours of idl.;:ness are spent first in revelling
in
the sense of freedom,second in seeing what can be done. We
read, we drowse (which, by the way, is not as inactive as
one might think), or we go out in innocent pursuit of happiness. As a rule, once care is la.id aside, it remains in such
state, and does not crop up again. We spend a few hours then,
doing something we really enjoy, no matter what.
Are the effects good or evil? This is the question.
We return to work like a giant refreshed it is true, particularly if we do not often indulge in such a sin. We
are
fresh and hp.ppy, and if we knew how to whistle, we would. As
f c i
evil results, the ohly one poesible is too extended proorastination, and the great prinodple of enjoying idleness
is
is to have only a little taken at ?cong interva-ls. That
the art. That is what makes the virtue of idleness: itS
1arity.

Evening Prayer
0 thou, in whom I take my rest,
'Vhose teachings never cease,
0 grant to thip now tired soul
Thy blanket, white of peace.
Through all this day my mind has worked
It is bent, by burdens, low.
So as the evening hour draws near
Its cells are working slow.
My eyes today have seen deeds done
'.Vhich were not done by love
1 ,thank thee that Thou were with me,

Bloody tocsins ringing;
Of far away- yet near.

And much, much more today I've seen,
:.:uch more today I've heard.
But why should I enumerate
Those things which have Thee hurt?
Thankful am I, that I may come
To Thee thru evening prayer.
To lay my burdens at Thy feet.
Which gladly Thou wilt share.
Now, just before I close my ^yes,
Father, I want to say,
Among the things I've left undone

Your heart was hard.
Yes,
Hard and rough
Like a boulder resting; on the

Mine?
Well, mine was like a soft sun

On the Labrador
Icebergs at Battle Harbor
Battle Harbor is the most easterrx point of
North America. The coast is treeless, gray and
bleak, and the water is dotted with icebergs cn
their melting trip southward. As passengers, we
were taken from our large ship in sm.all boats to
the dock. Here we found we could rent a fishing
boot to take us for a clcse-up of an iceberg in the
inner harbor. Youthful Charlie Smith was engaged
to shew us the sight.
"I've never been off the Labrador," grinned
Ohfvrlie, displaying the few teeth which poor diet
left remaining in his m.outh, "It's a good life,
Sealing in the spring, getting fish past counting
in the cumm.er and trapping furs wintertime.
It's
the bent life you can get ati"
Charlie gave us this cheerful view of northern
life, while he steered his boat across the bay.
Within a few feet of the iceberg, it seemed long
and narrow, rising like a m-ountain with one point
about a third of its forty feet length. Fncircling
the isljj.nd of ice, the opposite side proved to be
coneave, faced with gorgeous acquamarine blue, with
a few streaks of rose, in the startling whiteness.
The air tinccled sharply. A mjathem.atician ."fudged
that we were gazing upon one eighth of three hundred thousand tens of ice. All around "'ere sm.aller
icebergs that had chipned off the big one.
"Icebergs are frozen spring water," said Charlie," and folks gather pieces of them for cool
drinks and such like."
V/hen we returned to shore, our places were
taken by another bcatlQB.d. The ship's purser was
on hand by. tha.t tim.e, and ^"'arned everyone that they
ventured close to the iceberg at their o^n risk,
The ice had reverted during the night, increasing
the danger of its breaking up enti:^ely. In such a
ca.se, anyone near it "'ould be draWi under the water
without a chance of being rescur-^d. Such
information added to the escitemient of g-3tting chumjny with

white slip of paper, the back was in use;
-Put if mademoiselle would like^ to reserve the
book, there is- a pink bulletin for morninps, a bluf^
one for afternoons, a pale yellow one.,.,,,^.
Mademoiselle fled for the nearest bistro and a
cafe noir.

One of the most interestinr: activities that
I, hp.ve ca,rried on this year hcis been the rivinr: of the
l^eashore Musical Tests to the members of my eighth
year home room. These tests which hp.ve b>een developed and standardized by Professor Jeashore of the
University of I'owp, hp.ve as their purpose the determination of the amount of musical ability a person
possesses. They test six different phases :)f thi.'^
ability; namely, pitch, rhythm, intensity, time,
harmony and tonal memory. The tests are
recorded
Victrcla, records which are playp-d while the students
listen and write their answers.
At present all of the results are not complete,
but indication are that r have several people who
are fer above average in m.usical ability. I sincerely hope that all these lucky persons will be
able to t a k e music lesdcns and develop thp ability w^hich has boen given to them.
