ANOTHER STROLL
We took another stroll the other
day but limited cur paths to the holls
I of MilnOo And everywher v;e sav/ smiles
j and delighted countenances and Gl^:hoagh
iwe thought and thcught vw couldn't figure
out any reason for such a transformatICTL
of the downcast faces v/e had seen a week
agOo But suddenly the mystery wc.s gone,
for a plump little sophomore ran up to
us and asked (with a great show of dim.ples), ''Will there really be dancing after basketball games this year?"

We said
yes, and
then v/alkud
thoughtfully off into a corner and began to meditate. This is the result of
our meditation: the faculty's promise
to permit dancing' after basketball games
this year is due almost wholly to the
energy and resourcefulness of that to-be
congratulated organization, the Boys'
ixthletic Council, But v/hether or not
this privilege will continue to be
a
regular feature of the game rests on the
shoulders of every Milne student (and
every Milne student bringing a guest)
who attends the game. The fact that the
faculty has consented to the dancing' is
mere than sufficient proc'f that they
have confidence in the Milne students.
Co-operation with the plan of the Boy^^
Athletic Council will be more than suCficient proof that their confidence j.r
not misplaced.
J'OURNALISM IN MILNE
WANDERINGS OF A DIS.K/.SED MINT)
The Milne weekly news publications
fr-mson and White, was instituted origin
aiiy in this school as an extra-curricu~
lar activity at the insistence of a small
tody of students who v/ere Interested in
high school journalism and all that the
teim implies. These students undertook
to produce a weekly nev/spaper and in ore'er to learn the business of successfully and efficiently editing- it, they
were enrolled in an English IV Journalism
ClaGS,
This class was, unfortunately, discontinued last year, but a student-controlled cub class meeting after school
under the instruction of a competent
State College student teacher took its
place. This year the cub class has
again been organized and is under the
direction of Mr,. Daniel Van Leuv:.n, editor-^in-chief of the State College ^ew£c
Now, the Crimson and White is still
a student activity and'Tt" is still a medium for student experiment and development in the journalistic field. And the
only qualifications one must have for a
staff position are: 1- a sincere interest in nev/spaper work, and 2- training
in the cub class. The cub class is open
to all Senia High students and we eariiestly request all those v/ho have even a
faint leaning towards journalism to join
the cub class.
I love to watch an ostrich fly,
Or does an ostrich run?
Or maybe it don^t move at all,
Oh, boy, ain't v/e got fun?
ii young little blade named Fred,
Is seldom at all seen in bed^
But dances till morning instead.
A fellow that we kiiov; is "witty,"
Goes chasi.iag all over the city
In a little brov/n Oakland so preti;y.
If the cops catch him,
him we pity'
Oh, little boy cute,
Come blov/ your fj.ute^
You don*t give a toot
For the cop's "tooti-fruit»
i^LICE IN WOI-JDERLi.ND
I v/onder what my English isjNow should I pass this note to Liz?
I v/onder if I can go to sleep,
Or will I in my slumber deep
Disturb the teacher^s explanations
Of Caesar's wars in other nations?
I wonder v/hy I'm here at alljI like that boy across the hall J
I v/onder what else I can convey
In fO'ilish rhymes this lovely day;
Nothing at all, my brain replies^
So I'll stop before your interest dies;
Or is it that it has already!
I guess I'll get a "ccke" from Eddie^
