One of the chief objectives of each
organization at Milne seems to be its
annu«Bl pcogram of entertainment presented for the purpose of raising money. In
their attempt to crowd all of these into
the school year, the various groups are
working against each other to the detriment of all concerned rather than to the
general benefit, as could be arranged.

We Milnites are too often "up to a
date" instead of "being "up to date" on
the vforld in general. Granted there is
no time to read non-fiction magazines or
the nev/spaper every night, v;hy give up
trying to acquire this valuable and necessarj"- information?
The Readers' Digest is so concise
and interesting that its vivid vjords
penetrate the skull and stay there.
Life, already the favorite magazine of
many of our students, is likev/ise to the
point and painless because of the excellent photographs. Both those publications include the inl^erests of science,
the social set a,nd "human interest" material, politics, the industrial world,
and many, many topics. Surely, every
Milnite can find a fev/ articles of interest in these magazines.
If you d o n H have access to Life or
Readers^ Digest at homo, remember that
the i-Iilnc library subscribes to both.
Those without library periods may take
copies home over night.
So Ict^s have some fun and add to
our loiov/lcdgc "a la fois"; it's easy
to digest the Readors' Digest and Life.

"^./ell, another year has rolled by
for the Crimson and V/hito;another staff
must bid farewell to that inlq^ shrine of
Journalism, room 233.
An outstanding example of the former
condition, v/hich everyone must agree is
an undesirable one, is the wee&end of
March 2,3, and 4, v/hen the Prize Speaking Contest, the Hi-Y Gym Kight, and the
Hawaiian Prom came on successive evenings.
Attending all three events v/ould have
been a very strenuous undertaking, and,
consequently, none received the patronage
v;hich they could and vrould have, had they
come on separate weekends.
The remedy for the problem seems to
contain alternatives. We might alter the
situation by more carefullj?- planning the
dates for our extra-curricular activities
'so that they vrould not come so very close
together, or we might combine the efforts
of some of our organizations. We could,
for example, incorporate the talent of
our Dramatics club. Glee club. Orchestra,
and Band in a single performance of a
light opera,such as a Gilbert and Sullivan,
Upon consideration v/e must admit
that nearly every other Albany school
presents an entertainment such as this
each year, or oftener, and vdth success.
Last year a choral group from Philip Livingston Junior High School was warmly
received in a Milne assembly v/hen they
presented selections from Robin Hood, and
there is no reason v/hy a similar Milne
group should not be appreciated.
At any rate, this scheme of incorporation would certainly replace some
of the rivalry v/ith cooperation, and cooperation, vie have learned, is an essential necessary to assure success in any
venture.
(Continued from column l)
We v/orked hard, but it v/as fian.
Everyone has been so helpful all year.
Miss I'Jlieeling, Miss Strong, the entire
faculty and student body
their cooperation and assistance are the chocolate
syrup on our journalistic ice cream.
Besides pleasant memories of good
fellov/r^hip, our year of nev/spaper experience taught us much that will be useful
later, both in knov/ledge of human relations and inpractical application of
principles of journalism.
Words seem futile after blowing
them about all year; we v/ill simply say,
"Thanks—everybody—for everything."

Action at Aquila (Ak-viy-la) is a
book that all readers of Gone With the
Wind should, at least, glance at. The
nortern point of view is taken in this
book. Although not as lurid and passionate as Margaret Mitchell's story, still
it keeps the reader going on to the end.
The main plot centers about the
destruction of a radius of Virginian
towns, and the man who is commanded to
burn them. This hero (or villain) is
Colonel ilatlianiel Franklin of the feixth
Pennsylvania Cavalry. The vandalistic
job went against his grain, and one deed
in particular haunted his memory as he
rode on his furlough.
The house of young Mrs, Crittenden
(with whom he fell in love) v/as in the
doomed radius. Colonel Franklin's heart
vfould not allow him to burn her home, but
it v/as eventually cremated with the body
of Mr. Crittenden, "('^hile on the furlough,
v/hich came after his task vras finished,
the Colonel searched for Mrs. Crittenden.
(Continued in column two)
9-Thou shalt cooperate willingly v/ith
the faculty, student teachers, and school
leaders in Milne,
10-Thou shalt alvrays be on the lookout for improvements, and constructive
criticism should be thy forte.
Most Milnites are pretty virtuous
v/hen judged by the above standards, A
few are "slipping"; nov; isn't Lent an excellent time to "catch up the loose ends"?
(Continued from column l)
On his ride,
he met mfiny cooperheads,
or traitors, and also a starrjr^eyed innocent mountaineer. This young lad falls
in love v/ith the daughter of Mrs, Crittenden, for the Colonel and he at last
find her in a hidden retreat. Three romances happily flourish here. But in a
battle near the retreat there is tragedy
aplenty; still Mr, Allen does not let us
completely dovrn.
Action at Acquila is Hervey Allen's
first book since Anthony Adverse, and on
the basis that it is about one character
and his philosophies, it is comparable
in a satisfactory manner.
This Civil War novel is on our
Milne library shelves. It is the book
for action-loving boys and girls.

puts his heart in tt. And that isn't the
only thing: ask Raspy how her feet felt
v/hen she arrived home. However, the Pond
Toole combination offered some more professional competition, plus gaining admiration from "the on-lookers.
Then, v/ithout
mentioning names,
there is the sv/eet, silent sophomore who
had to travel all evening under the burden of a shoulder-ful of flowers; it*s
no wonder the poor dears were tired.
Speaking of programs, did you notice
how busy the boys were kept during the
dance? It was all faintly reminicent of
our class at dancing school with the rascals trying to sneak out and fox the
teacher. Nevertheless, the fellows stood
up under it well, and there were no displays of temper, heart attacks or fainting fits, We noticed, however, many a
hurried breath and many brows being v/iped at the too short intermissions.
(Con't from column l)
Tons of orchids to Miss Wheeling
for obtaining reserved tables at the
Commodore luncheon and mostly, for
being reelected president of the Adviser's Association, Also, orchids to
Mr, Leese for the help and advise he
administered during the trip and for
the swell way in v;hich he stood the
strain of having the responsibility of
29 conventionites suddenly thrust upon
him.(Those bags under his eyes were
used to pack his clothes in on the return trip.)
And now, we shall leave you v/ith
this thought in mind, namely that if
yon have nothing else to talk about,
don't start on the subject of the Convention, the reason being that by this
time the topic is all worn out and
those found discussing anything relating to the trip will be fined the
slight amount of ten extra English assignments, or imprisonment in the
Milne madhouse for a period of tv/o P.G,
courses.

THE I'TEW YORICERS
Everytime you see that dreamy
look in someone''s eyes this week,
there could "be only three reasons for
it; either ].ove, the press conventio:i,
or "both!. !
Besides the Imov/ledge gai:.ed at conference meetings, the chilum
gained many interesting facts.
The local and the express v/ent up
^ and down the 5th floor corridor. 'I'he
local "being that little shuttle, Lucky
Dey who stopped at every open door,
I The express, namely, Ruth Rasp went
directly from the Rasp, Barden, Dey
Station to that of Jane G-race and room
mates terminals.
Florence Herher made such an impression on the pilot of the "Paris"
French Line steamer, that he gave her
a "book. She also discovered that if
one does not v/ished to he teased, it
is necessary to avoid the oyster "bars.
The crazy cat made quite an impression
on Posy Freund, The cat, really a man
jumped on the tahle she was seated at
in the Hofbrau, Betty Barden^ s pink
hat gained extreme admiration around
Rockerfeller center to the irritation
of a certain Milne man.
