STUDENT COUNCIL APPROPIaTES
MONEY FOR E-:iUIP^AENT IN GYM;
ANNUAL PARTY TO BE JANUARY 15
The Student Council has decided to
appropriate the sum of fifty dollars for
the equipment of the small gym. The
plan is to put t'U-ards on the windows
and lights so that ^ym classes may play
more active games* There will also be
baskets
for
basketball.
Professor
Sayles brought up this plan for the convenience of those students who wish to
practice basketball or other sports in
their free time*
The first lot of red Milne feathers
the Student Council purchased are sold
out; however, another group of one hundred will be here shortly.
The Senior High party will be on
Janiary 15• This year it will be a hard
luck party with the Rhythm Kings furnishing the music for dancings
The
committee in charge includes Jane Weir
Seely Fujnk, and Mildred Matt ice.
MISS HAYES ADDRESSES SENIORS
ON THE SELECTION OF COLLEGES
Last Wednesday at tv;elve o«clock
Miss Hayes addressed the senior class.
She explained how the seniors could obtain information about any college they
were interested in»
She said that she
has catalogs from almost every college,
and that aryone could
come to
her office and use them.
There is a book in her office that
gives the rating of every college in the
United
States# It also
gives
tho
expenses and needed requirements for admission.
Miss Hayes advised those who plan
to attend a collogo next year to file an
application early since all v/ho apply
are not accepted. She stated that sb6
would answer w.ny questions anyone might
have. She said she would help any senior
in his problems concerning the colleges
he is considering.
Miss Shaver ended the progrijn by
telling the class to do its best in High
School, because many employers before
hiriiig anyone look up their High School
records, including marks and extra curriculum activities.

CiiPS iil\'D GOWNS
Wh-t should the seniors wear at
gruduatioat This problem Is roc^lly serious and there are many different sclliticns to it. Some think that caps and
gowjas should be worn, sc me regulation
white slid dresses while still others
think that it she J. d be c.s in previous
years.
There are arguments for f:,nd againsii
all of those» Some maint..in thc^t caps
and gowns are ideal. They think that
they have a nec.t appear^^nce ^.nd give the
ol^ss a scholastic .-ir. The opposition
to this is thr.t it is an ^.dded expense
for the senior year«
The aext sugt^estion Wc..s that we
have regulation v/hite silk dresses. This
is found unfavorable by s:. me ..s they say
th^t it looks as though there hi.d been a
s.Ale. Others were of the opinion that
those would look very nice and th'.t it
would not be very expensive.
The last a: lution presented w<-.s
thut things be left as in previous
ye^^rs® This v/as more or less disregarded
as the general consensus of opinion Wc..s
thu.t it made a "sloppy" <^ppearing gradUcition.
This problem
has not yet been
solTed as the majority of the senicrs
considered it too importi.nt
matter to
settle right av/ay.
CONGRATULATIONS
COMING - COMING
Although the Christmas season is a
bright spot on the horizon a black cloud
threatens its continious effect. Perhaps
you have i^uessed that this monace is in
the iorm of mid-year examinations.
It may seem rather early to suggest
studyine^, hut you know by Gxperionco
that they sneak up and pounce upon us
suddenly* Then comes the time for cramming*
nie,ht before the exam you sit
down .-6nd really study for about fifteen
minutes. Don't try to deny it. Wo all
fail in this respect, and weep tears of
woe because we have not done better. But
what do wg do about it? NothingI It
never occurs to us to remedy our faults.
We merely continue to earn poor marks,
if any,/ and take them us a matter of
course^/ Let's "get wise"to ourselves
and work I
/
Xcu know yourself what ytu can do
if y/\i try. When you really get down to
work and study you know hcv/ much easier
it is to get i-long'. Why not study instj CI of v/orrying about the exams.

The Crimson ^.nd V/hite
ciiib'r^-'tulates the Milne students for the success
of the Tea D ^ c e last Friday. The gym
w;.;S well-filled with Milnites c;nd u few
visitors, all of v^hom helped to m^-ke
this occassion such c.n outstc^nding success. The prevailing spirit of friendliness broke the ice immedi<,.tely cjid
the dance was on its wf.y.
If all Milne events wore supported
with as much wholohor.rted enthusiasm as
w^s this one, the school would become
f.jnous for its spirit. You folk who
hc^d a good time -.t the Tea Dance must
re^ilize now that every dc^nce, g..me, or
get-together could be just t.s much fun
^s Was this one. It didn't tcke any
effort on your part to give this affair
a boost, did it? V/ell, it doesn't t.ko
u.ny more effort to h..ve a good time at
s v^me of our othar social functions.
You've done a grec.t job with the Tea
Dance; keep up the gocd workl

THE COMLVIENTATQR
At Union
College last
Friday
night Milne students saw a real game
of basketball. To start it off the
Crimson Five, all decked out in new
suits, turned in their first victory to
the tune of 25«22. Well ahead at the
h.df 18-9, Milne kept in the lead all
tho v/ay, but in the fourth quarter Mohc.wk started sinking- them fast until it
was 22-20; then Milne thigh toned up and
finished the gc.me with a hard earned
victory.
^Lnd a word about the new suits.
They m..ke the boys look liKe a remodeled to^.m. And with that victory over
Mohawk wc hope we»ve thrown away our
losing- stro,:3k along with the old suits.

about tho Junior Varsity by several of
