EDITOR'S NOTE: The Crimson and
White will soon profit by the addition
to its staff of the Junior Journalism

assume positions on the staff as assistants and reporters and augment their
technical knowledge with actual experi*
ence. Next year these ambitious juniors
will edit the newspaper and many of you
sophomores will be enrolled in a similar

direction of Instructor Daniel Van Leuvan, editor of the State College News,
the Juniors have written several news

Last v/eek's game was a sour apple
to the Milne High School squad. It seems
that Troy Country Day likes to get players who have graduated from other schools
to play for them (meow). Oh well, better
luck next time. The sing'ing on the bus
was peeche fine anyway.
There is a nev/ craze in Milne High
School these days, iJid it is 'called
"Che0-sie in the Hallzie." That is, two
boys play chess in the hall while Professor John M. Sayles looks on. It takes
three good sports to play the game succeeslully. Figure it out for yourself*
