GOOD SrORTSRJ^NbHIP
At the lest basketbull game, it was
especially noticeable hov^ poor our conduct was« It is ne of the
unwritten
lasifiis of br.sketball to be as quiet
GS
possible during a "free shot" of
any
team*, Cnlj once wc.s Milne silent
last
week, and that was when Milne had a foul
shot» Immediately afterward, when
Rensselaer was "up" people vvnistltia, shouted,
and made all the nuises CouC(^iv.-.blo, ivt
other sca^ols where this happened^ . the
officials awarded us one p^into If this
practice \7cre started here, perhaps
our
school v;ould learn a lesson, and act better.

EIOGR^^PHY OF MISS CROOKS
Miss Helene Crooks was born in
Paris, Franceo She has studied in many
foreign countries, najnely,
England,
Belgium, and France, It was in France
she received a B» A« dergee, and later
a doctor's degree. Y/hile she was studying here .she traveled in He land* .. She
then Cciiue to ^xmerica and studlfed
at
Vassar. Here she earned another
BoA<
degree•
After, being tliis v/ell preptired, she
began teaching iaiina cjid
Elliot Rousevelt. After teaching them she tr^^veled
to Connecticut to teach French« Am.erican
H.story, and psychclogyo She then obtaine4 a position on the
Time
Magazine *
After remaining here for a while ihe
taught net.r Buffalo. Following this she
taught at New Jersey* Vfhile she wc.s teaching here- she v/as also busy working for Q
m a s t e r d e g r e e at Cclumbic. University*
After this notable "career" Miss Crocks
honored Milne by becoming a supervisor
hereo
In 1934 she teck a meter trip to
the Rockies and the West with Miss Snow,
former supervisor of English at Milne .
She iJsc visited Canada.
During the summers of 1935, 1956
she was again studying at Mlddlebury,
Vermont t,
l.ast year Miss Crooks visited Paris,
Switzerland, Southern Germany, Czechos?
lavakia, Hungary, Austria, and Korthern
Italy. M|ss Croi'ks was impressed by the
beauty of Sv;itzerland» s mountains and
general surroundingsp All the windows
have flowerboxes chuck-full of fragrant
blossoms, making the city have a cheerful look about it<, Of course in Italy
she admired the art. As Miss Crocks explained, most French people admire Venice i.s it is much like France. She
noticed Budapest' gayety.
Miss Crooks remarked how people
hurry here. In Prance the motto
is
"What you can't do today, dc tommorrow."
The school hours are much long'er in
France thab they aire here. As all their
exams are competitive, the French children realize the import-^.nce of studying
hard a
The children in France are much
more interested in government affairs
than are American children as sometimes
a change in government policies affects
their entire livescy
You would find France more spread
cut if you happened to stumble upon it.
There are no sky scrapers, no 'teneiaelit
houses, but in there place, old homes,
even roof tops, and a gene: c1 feeling of
comfort.
