Another Senior claiss has gone from our midst; that is the routine which school years bring. Just another Senior class, perhaps, to the faculty and the school, but the important Senior class to the student group who compose it. For after all, they are not just another Senior class to themselves. This commencement to them is one of the important occasions of living, A finish of years of one kind of life; a beginning of many years of an entirol^r different kind of life. If we wish to be a little sad about this occasion, it probably is the last time that all of you v/ill be together; but you in good cheer over the occasion might ask yourselves with a rather thorough analysis concerning the positive qualities of each one; v/hich one of those assets vre can and will use for x)Tir« selves. For if this is a commencement, it must need some analysis of what is to follow, and if success is to come, the future primarily demands positive assets with v/hich to carry on. And so each of you must assemble, one by one, those q'C^i^lities v/hich become inherent in your character in order tha.t "no leaness may appear in the years to come." Make haste slov/ly, and"be not too eager to reach you destination."

Plans were being formuJ.ated for the second Senior High dance, a rather "fishy" affair since the gym was decorated like an aquarium, full of fish. llilne opened with a hang, or rather a chatter, one "bright Monday morning in the last part of SeptemlDer, The "best part of the morning was spent in making out schedules,three sets, no less, v/riting down the tricky titles of the new textbooks, and getting acquainted with the new supervisors. It was impossible to overlook the surging crowd of seventh graders(getting smaller every year) who innocently asked their way to homerooms, the co-op, the annex, and some, the way out of doors. The Semester Shudders and Shivers v/ere suddenly upon us!. Exams! 1'Jho Imows what, anyway?! Hot helping matters any, but the golf course was covered v/ith inches of the most wonderful snov/ this side of the ITorth Pole. The halls echoed with the dying clomp of ski boots as the early finishers rushed off the practice fancy turns and jumps. After a week- of recalling the experiences of so-and«so, the Milne students lapsed into the routine of v/ork, at least the work connected with the Fall Reception. Soon light-hearted sophomore girls could "be seen v/aving small white letters —invitations to a society rush. Meanv/hile, the "boys, inclined to\7ard more more rapid procedure, had tapped, iniated and resusitated the first few whom they took into their society. On the brink of another vacation, the two sports clubs arranged the HiYGAC. A svrell job v/as done on the decorations, and many a couple argued v/hether fir, spruce or hemlock made the v/oodsy baclrground (it was pine).v ^ Class rings, "both Junior and Senior took a "bov; among the favored pieces of jewelry. The Penquin Promenade, our first ""big thing" of the year, was sponsored "by the hoys* societies. All of the lads put their hearts into the formal, and really made it something. Going definitely soruthern, the Hawiian prom a delight. The Commons was filled to capacity, too. VA^'AF) .A' / V Easter vacation was cold, but not too too bad. Plenty took advantage of the opportunity to sleep!! The Senior girls began to appear v/ith sparkling keys dangling around their necks, (llot only girls' but boys' societies keys, naturally!) Drama I Open house was held just before vacation; the dramatics club contributed its bit to the seasonal entertainment by keeping everyone baffled with the mystery of the dead canary. A delightfully long Christmas vacation offered lazy mornings in which to snooze and to lose the haggard looks which v/ere beginning to shov; on some faces. Incidentally, no one had to worry about taking the shine off the nev/ skiboots or scratching prize skiis, because the snow simply forgot to fall. Excitement was great at the basketball games; our cute cheerleaders brought on enthusiastic cheers and yells, and nearly everj'-one went home with a voice unrecognizable by all except mother. Announcements v/ere posted concerning the sld. club meets, but the v/eatherman continued to be stubborn. The gala Q,.T.S.A. was the last big dance of the year to which all Senior High members were eligible. Jan Jansing v/as crowned as our lovely queen, a nev/ thrill for a Milnite, but a procedure which this year-s class hopes to establish as tradition. The inexhaustible Juniors staged a successful Travel Hop. Again the nickleodftttn v/as employed and it kept its good record. Yet to come are outings, the excursion, Class M g h t , the Senior Ball, and last, but far from least, Commencement. Who thought this was a dull year?

Betty is the same girl, who said"Good is not good enough if it is good, in order / to "be good it must "be goojrt not good." She was in a constant effort ^ •> to steer the Crimson and % i t e to greater Heights.and alv/ays had a helping hand for those who might need it. Miss Barden v/as a Coiintess out of'Russia in the first (revolution). She came to America on a cattle hoat; it was there that she meet that "bug oho writes ahout* ^.j^.. She got a joh on the Hudson -stiver Day Line, "but was fired v/hen the boat reached Albany. As a result, she came to Milne and froitt there every one knov/s the story of the poor little Russian peasant. i I The second senior on this goodly staff was the senior associate editor, Charles Sanderson, bettor known to his close frionds as'bonejr^. Sanderson was born in the foot hills vrest of Loudonville-the only son of a full blooded 'Chipasceru' Indian, In his early life ho v/as referred to as Little Chief Long Muscle because of his great ambitions to become a great wrestler. It is just a snap of his v/rist, in fact he v/ould Jiimp anything from a v/ild door to the swiftest haro. Ho cam to Milne in 1917 so as not to have to join tho army. Tho few decades ho has been in Milne, Charles has shone as a scholar and has ever contributed his bit to the culture,to the retiring class. n I I 5 I s Fi SjcM. v •A/ There was some-one in the sports department last yespr, yes, those tv70 big Bg7/-ptians from South America, Ruth Rasp and Edward "campaign manager" Starlo/reather. Both of the kids are famous in I- Milne, Fat-boy, the Milne base ball star-r-r, ha.s for the past few years been an idol of the smaller seventh graders. Ruth helped enf^rave the girls basket ball records since her seventh year; v/e hear she is good. Y Bette Tincher and Doris Welsh, the prognostical feature editors, also have an interesting history. Bette, it seems, used to be a stand-in for Curley Dimple in Hollyv/ood before she came to Milne, After her graduation in June she intends to go back to Hollyv/ood and stand-in for An! um! oh! Eedy Lal-iarr. And Milne's best glamour gal can do it too, I se2, Doris Velsh came from Visconsin vhere she und her mama und papa used to milk the covrs and v/ater the horses. Doris and Bette v/rote the feature page and it's sort of a "ornery" trick to print this on their ov/n page. fO _ Dijickey Dey and Joyce Murdick, Milne's super-students, also v/ere on the Crimson and VJhite last year, Ducl^y and Joyce both came from the same boarding house as children but the Landlady wasn't very tall so she built a house to fit herself, and that is the reason Misses Dey and Murdick never grew any taller than they are; if they tried to grov/ they just bumped their heads in the ceiling.
