At the Senior High assembly last
Wednesday the lack of cooperation v^as
very noticeable and distressing to the
cheerleaders. Besides not participating
in the cheers, the students did not sing
the school songs (when they did sing)
with any vigor as you would expect.
We hope that this was not an example
of school spirit and that you just d o n H
like the cheers or the motions that go
with the cheeDs. If this is true why not
write a new cheer or find new actions
for the old cheers. The cheer leaders
would accept any contributions from the
student body gladly.

A fine batch of school spirit brev;

Wednesday as it was spread by the nev/

There is an old adage which says,
"It*s an ill v/ind that blows no good to

whether he loiew when Thanksgiving was,
queried, "Does anybody know?" Thanksgiving has provoked more discussion this
year than any time since the Pilgrims
landed on Plymouth Rock, just because
President Roosevelt dared to change the
date.

something for future seniors to take

(Continued from Coiuijin one)
Last v;eekend, some of the Milne
xellows had a pretty snappj'- time in a
little tovrn called ITev/ York,
the effects of last week's Book Fair.

Various ones are groaning over the
results of last vjeek's teats, and are
looking toward the vacation as a consolation,.
The Christmas plays, a coming
attraction, have caused a genuine hiifebUb

From the Press bo::
IS THIS
Once again Page Hall is filled with
basketeers. The initial practice of the
season got \mderway last Tuesday v/ith
about forty hopefuls trying to make the
team. As only twenty men are carried on
the varsity and junior varsity, Goaches
Hatfield and Danov/ityz are in for a tough
time picking the most promising boys.
- d a g g e r
With only four players from last
yearns team on hand the vacsity must
add six men to its roster. The fight
for these berths is fast and furious,
with DeNure, Smith, Saunders, French,
Wilson, and Leaning almost certain to
land positions, Vfith the first game but
two weeks away, the boys will have to
work hard to be in shape for the opener.
This year, as usual, the Milne qaintet will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 3:30 to 4:30, giving them a
total of only tv/o hours a wfeek practice,
while every other team in the city has
at least tv70 hours a das'". The old adage,
practice makes perfect, goes double for
a cage team.
A
J?
To Be:
With out a doubt, there will be more
than one kind of stuffing after today.
In those homes in v/hich a reu.nion is to
take place, the chances are that some of
our most dignified Seniors v/ill be told
by some doting relative that they have
not been seen since they v/ere ''so High"
(a heighth of nearly tv/elve inches) and
that the resemblance to Aimtie Tissentso
is really remarkable. Such Fun !I
Nearly everyone has threatened to
catch up on all lost sleep, and store up
plenty of energy during the next fev;
d§,ys of rest and relaxation( ?)»
DSCRIVEZ
To Al Metz, the team's manager, the
school and team owe a vote of thanks„
It was ha who arranged this year's fine
schedule of sixteen ganes.
Everything points to one of
most successful seasons that Milne
ever enjoyed. We venture to nredict
this yearc'^s team will make a name
