Inspirational
ideas
for pocsters are the "go"
these days, for the advertising committee for the
Milne Book Fair is sponsoring a poster contest,
Edward Sternfeld, chairman
of the
committee
announced today.
The winner of the contest will have his choice
of any book from
the
Giant Modern Library of
the Co-op bookstore in
State College, The Judges
of the contest will consider the neatness, originality, and attractiveness
of the
posters.
Students participating in
this contest will leave
their
posters in Miss
Wheeling's office on or

Sternfeld atated as a
help to contesters, "Remember that the Book Fair
theme is a county fair,,
A race track, live stork
show, and ferris whee?.,
all connected with books
will feature,"
With the Milne Book
Fair just around the corner, the week of November
13, Milnites are appreciating anew the adva.ntages of the Little Theater, for the fair will
occupy that room. Two
teas, one for the State
College faculty, and the
other
for mothers
of
Milnites, vail take place
in the Milne library.
These rooms v/ere tv;o
of Dr. Sayles dreams for
Milne, His aim for years
was that the Milne library be the center of
the school life.
Twenty-five years ago
Dr. Sayles became associated with Milne,
He
has since that
time
brought it from a small
practice school to an institution known throughout the state, and, indeed
the United States, for
its high standards and
the creative thinldng and
teaching skill of
its
faculty.
Dr.
Sayles,
though busy at State College. will forever live
in the spirit of Milne
and the thoughts of her
students.

Dear Milnites,
The Bricks and Ivy magazine staff
has chosen a theme which seems particulary significant at the present time"World Friendship",
We in school cannot think of ourselves as in a private little v/orld,
immune to the hostilities of the universe,
Doesn't youth have something to say about
this question of race prejudice and vrar?
The magazine v/ill try to s h e hov; basically alike young people in all lands are.
Have we been guilty in the recent
rush of events of misunderstanding, perhaps hating, the inhabitants of another
land? Have we forgotten that they, too,
have interests common to ours? -that the
German boys and girls have school dances
that mean quite as much to them as our
Q,TSA does to us?-and that the French,
English, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish
young folk cheer qu.ite as lustily at
their sports as we do.
You undoubtedly have your ov/n ideas
on this widely-discussed subject of
World Friendship. The staff would like
to be able to publish your written opinions in the literary issue of the Bricks
and Ivy, but if you v^ould prefer to use
another subject for your essay, story, or
poem, that, too, v;ill be welcome. This
is your magasiine- we want you to like it!
Sincerely,
Heigh-ho! Come one! Comr all!
J
DID YOU LUCE IT?
Place your bet on a winning book at
Best-Seller Derby of Milne's Book Fair.
