IDEAS ARE WELCOME
There are many improvements which
could be made in Milne which have already been expressed. There is a place
however, for many more.
New ideas are what Milne is looking
for; new ideas to bettor the school and
mck:e it a school that v;ill rate with
the highest of schools. The only v/ay we
can do this is by continually adding .
510 rc
improvements.
Most of the pupils have at le<^st one
idea on how to better the school and, if
the pupils would only tell these ideas
to the student council or to the newspapers, probably something would come
from them L.nd in that v/ y the pupils
would be helping tho school.
If the pupils know they cxe contributing to the school they would tc.ke more
pride in it L.nd in what the school is
do .1 ng.
So 1 urge you to briiig any ideas
you may h;..ve for the betterment of Milne
before the Student Couneil or the papur^
WE WANT IVDFVE PARTIES
The Milne Junior High school socicj.
events are so few and far betv/een that
some of the students don*t even know
when there is a party until sometimes
the day before. P .rties ..nd dances
are probably the best w..y for students
to spend their wewk-end rather thi,n
going to the movies. Milne should have
more p^.rties ^.nd d.-mces on Friday and
Saturday nights. Many good times will
result ejid it would be a way of gettin^s
money for the school gift. J^W.B.
THE PixPER
