We Milnites will remember.... Tiger

dance to Commencement) when there was a
baseball game, a dance, club activity,
Annual Antics, card party, or Parents'

Game's • nO'-hit

York Press Convention, vrith second place
for the Crimson and V/Iiite.
The glorious Revolution v/hen, for
the first, last, and only time, Milnites
refused to leave school - until the constitution v/as turned inside out and our
council president elected.
Then we enjoyed throe months of hot
weather and swimrning.

The pearl
Is a disease of the oyster
A poem
Is a disGa.so of the spirit
Caused by the irritation
Of a granule of Truth
Fallen on the soft gray bivalve
We call mind.
Old Mandarin
The Old Mandarin, otherwise known
as Christopher Morley, is a philosophical and amusing gentleman who loves to
discuss poets, America, and New York.
? . Vfe like tho Old Itodftrin^ Smoothly
his thoughts flovr from his pen ac tho
somber Hudson winds through his favorite
city, Nev7 York. Startling similies blond
into fluid verse. There is alv/ays an
honesty, an appreciation of people, their
weaknesses and the queer world they
have built for thomsolves.
Besides its v/ord-beauty, each of
these short poems plants a germ of eternal truth in our souls, there to germinate. If your mind is virgin soil for
poetry, jriasten to the old Mandarin for
some of his precious seed.
P. S. - You may make his acquaintance at
the Pine Hills or Harmanus Bleeker library.

T:.:OUGHTS
Horc are some thoughts for the
girls for the Hevr Year:
G-irls who stick to their laiitting
can usually hand out a good sock.
A v/oman stands a better chance of
catching a man if vrhe keeps her trap
shut.
Dear M, B.
I am a very handsome man, yet I
can't seem to make any headv/ay, and my
girl gives me the cold shoulder. I think
it's "because I don't Imow how to act
when I'm at her home. Please advise.
Forlorn
Dear Forlorn,
V/hen at her abode, help her; wash
the dishes vdth her; when the floor is
dirt J'-, mop up the floor vdth her. Then,
instead of your being forlorn, she'll be
floorworn.
Dear H. B.
I-'^/- mother says I'm not to read
H.G. l^ells ujitil I'm older. Please tell
her the book is all right.
S.G.
I presume the "S.G-," stands for seventh
grader? The gook sounds all right, but
v/ho wrote it?
Dear M. B,
I'm in love v/ith one girl, but
there is another v;ho is very rich and
beautiful, v/hose wealth and position can
help me greatly. Hov/ever, I cannot forget the girl I love. I'/hich should I excort?
Baffled
Dear Baffled,
By all means follow your heart and
go out vdth the one you love.(By the way
vrhat is the address of the other?)
Dear M. B.
I'iy girl paints her face worse than
an Indian on the v/arpath, t"Jhy does she
do it?
Disgusted
Dear Disgu.sted^,
She probably wants to keep up that
"fool girl complexion".
Well, there's no getting around the
fact that 1939 is here at last. It's
hard to believe it is really here, as
the seniors have been waiting six years
for it to arrive. Our vdsh for the Hew
Year is that they graduate! It v/ould be
pretty tragic, after all that time, if
they should have been looking tov/ard
1940 instead.
Breezing in vdth the year yie have
that prominent senior from Albany High
School, Miss Ruth isolkirk. How if you
notice a great cliange in the school, and
everything is a little peppier, you'll
know it's because of that snappy blonde
who's been prancing around the halls. It
is svrell to have you back, Soupy.
We really oughtnH to mention resolutions, as a vreek has passed and they
must all be broken by this time. Hov/ever
we just know that everyone is going to
get marvelous ma.rks from nov; on. Ducky
Dey plans to be an honor student, plus
valedictorian. That's the v/ay. Duck,
La Belle Tincher says no more dates
as she plans to do some heavy studying
between nov; and June, t'/hat are you doing
tonight, Bette?
"Had'' Starkweather's only resolution
is '^ITever Again". HJhe poor dear is still
suffering from Ilev/Year's Eve» By the v/ay
has Walt Plummer arrived home yet?
As a parting shot, v/e must mention
hov/ delighted we v/ere to see all the
bright little faces of the Milne students
this vfeek. We have never seen such a
bunch so alert, attentive, bright eyed,
vdde av/ake, and eager to learn. Of course
v/e never expcctcd people to bo coming
back and v/orrying about the all^li side,
(Oh, no), but a vacation docs tire one.

Was Charles Mac Culloch surprised
when he dashed into the Ledden residence
over vacation to find eight Juniors play
ing Contract Bridgo? Joe Ledden didn't
quite expect to find his sister giving
seven girls breakfast when he came dovmstairs cither. It seems the Junior class
women are "bent on learning to play

A farmer bought 100 head of livestock for $100. He paid $5 each for the
cows, $2 each for the sheep, and $,50
