STUDENT COUNCIL AREiJ\iGES
CARD Px^RTY FOE APRIL 29
The third annual card party, sponsored b^ the senior hig^i Student Council,
promises to be bigger and better than
ever before. The Card Party will be in
the Page. Hall gymnasium, April 29th, at
3:30 o^clock in the afternoon.
Every year for the past six years,
the student body of Milne raised m.oney to
pay for another m.ural in the library.
These muials have v/on wide acclaim because they portray so clearly scenes prevalent in early American life. The murals also add a note of beauty and distixiction to the schooll giving us a sense
of pride in c ur association with Milne.
The Card Party offe: s an excellent
opjjortunlty for our motheis to get acquainted v/ith each other, the school itself, and with the members of the faculty*
The Card party is one of the traditions of Milne, therefore if every Milnite does his bit this card party will be
a huge success»

SENTB-HNTAL TOm^Y
BY J/JViES M.BiiRRIE
P s
Each of us has a Tommy; he may be
our brother or our cousin, but he is
always a lovable chfip with a
vivid
imagination and a little sister Elspeth
who adores him.
In Sentimental Tommy, Barrie shows
" '
us the
tne ""
"squalid
tenement existence of
London as contrasted to the hard, clean
free life of ThJcums, a village in Scotland.
Tommyqueer
feelings about "the
little
one" ( his new sister )
are
typical of all little boys, but Tommy
Is different in every other way. One
night he told a society woman, seeking
for novelty, about all the horrible
crimes he had coiranitted in the dark
corners of London. Then,quite suddenly,
he r^^pcnted and screamed h^s jnnor\3ri-e.
why dont other hom.B!Booms follow
the hoble example of 22? and
e,ive assemblies really i never laughed
so much in my life 1 was nice to
everybody for the rest of the day
congratu3:ations to 227
(continued from coi. one)
shouting what a sinner she was and
there was quite an uproar.
-well
by
Jan.es M,
Sentimental Tommy,
Barrie, is the ideal short, not too deep,
exciting story for a sprang evening.

JOSEPH LEDDEN WBIS SECOND
IN GRiJ^D THliJ..TER .Ju^TEUR HOUR
During lun»-xi hour on some days, you
hear a new kind of music issuing from
the Page Plall ixuditorium; not classical
music, but swing played by Milne's popular Joseph Ledden*
Monday, "Joe" went to the Grand
Theater and v/as auditioned for the Ifiir.ateur Hour, "just for the heck of it",
he said*
He appeared on the Grand theater
amateur Hour Tuesday night at 9:00 o'
cock. Many Milnites supported him. at
the theater and others heard him at home
over the radio. "Joe" was the only amateur to {balk for himse If over the radio,
The au'^ience gave him a big hand after
his "hot swing" number
First place in the contest went to a
singer, and "Joe" received second place,
Milne is proud of "Joe" Ledden; we appreciate his talent for "swing".
CORRECTION
In the last issue of the Crimson
and White, the fact that the Crimsoa and
Vhite magazine won third place in the
divisian for printed m.agazi les and third
••)lace in the division for miraeograi.hed
magazines v;c.s omitted. The staff of the
newspaper v/ish to apologize to tne staff
of the magazine for tiiis omission, Th^y
deserve as much
recognition of their
efiorts as do
staif of the newspaper.
^e also v/ant to correct the statement that the newspaper has won second
plaoe in their division for two consecutive years. Last year, we won only
thirfl place and this year raised our
standard to second place rating.

SPORT THIS SPRING
Baseball will be a monor sport this

However, there are so many
