COi^PILIiTG THE COITSTITUTIOITS
It has been recently suggested to
the Senior Student Council that the constitutions of various organizations in
the school, such as societies, Girls Athletic Council, Boys Athletic Council,and
Student Council, be compiled into one
volume for use in the library.
This idea would make it convenient
for any member of the faculty or of the
Student body seeking that type of information.

"This plan," says Donald De Hure of
the Student Council, "is what Milne has
needed for a long time.
For v/henever
anyone needed information on these subjects, it was very difficult to scctire
it,"
We, of the Crimson and White feel
as De Nure does, concerninp- this question. The Ready Reference of Organizations Constitutions would be a great
asset to Milne.

enjoy?
Or have you something in mind
that you feel should be adjusted, sometiling that needs attention and action?
Have you read a book, an article,a
poem or play that you have particularly
enjoyed, and that you think others v/ould
enjoy? Have you seen a motion picture
that you believe others would like to
see?
Have you a bit of nev;s or a scoop
that is not loiov/n about? Have you a talent for v/riting that should be displayed?
The Crimson and White is your newspaper, Y " ^ r e paying for it whether you

Frank Lloyd, Columbia's ace director-producer has added to his list of film
hits, and successes a new vehicle called
"The Howards of Virginia." It is a story
of the Revolution, based on Elizabei-h
Page's novel, "The Tree of Liberty."
The film tells of the reasons and
events v/hich lead up to the revolution,
from the southern angle, at the same
time, portraying the story of life and
love among two Virginia families—one
aristocratic, and wealthy—the other poor
and of common stock,
Cary Grant portrays the role of
Matt Howard, the frontiersman from Albamarle County, very v/ell, and is favorably cast v;ith such members of the theatre and screen as Martha Scott, Imov/n

Hardwicke, of "Stanley and Livin^j'stone"

LUCIOr I II LIE 11
The Senior High is certainly fortunate this 3'"ear, Several nev; girls and
boys have decided to come to Milne,
Some of us lucl^'- ones have already met
them, but for those who haven't, may we
present
Miss Betty Vail, formerly of North
High in ITorcester, Massachusetts. Her
homeroom is 233.
She likes Milne for
many reasons, "but mainly "because of the
student teachers and beautiful campus
ground.
Her favorite sports include
sv/imming and tennis.
Robert Hachel hails from good old
Albany High School.
His homeroom is
the Art Ho on, Ee was bora in Albany,
and his hobby
vjell yon^ll never guess
it
is collectin- and thrcv/ing laiivesl
He excels in all sports, so it appears
that Alb^iy I-ii:;h^s loss is rlilne's gain.

You're all very familiar ^dth the
regular type of speeches, but h^ve :,^ou
ever heard a minister give one? ilow,
remember, we said "speech," not "sermon".
At the Capital District Scholastic
Press Association, the Reverend George
B. Gilbert gave the most delightful and
entertaining ST)eech we've heard in a
long time.
Reverend Gilbert is a rather elderly
man that hrs lived a full life. He gave
a short s-'ommary of his life on the farm
which was very interesting.
Ho lias a
fino sense of bjimor. and throi.igh his many
experiences, he has a large collection
of stories.
One of the best stories he told vras
this one. It seemed that a jovj-vj, girl
v/as going on a sea voyage and decidcd to
vjrite a one-line diary every ni'ht,. This
is the way her diary read:

night
The first mate as!:ed me
to kiss him, I refused.
night
He said that if I didn't
kiss him, he'd sink the
ship.
night
I saved 1200 lives.
Along V7ith telling some very limn?/"
stories, Reverend
Gilbert gave some
constructive help on writing.
Jext in line we have iiiss Shirley
Ann At kin;:.
Although she is originally
from Ohio, Itist year she attended Hackett Junior High School.
She favors
Milne because everyone has such a friendly attitude toward everyone else» She
also is in favor of small ciassrooms.
Her favorite sports are sv;ir.imi:ig and
skiing.
Vfelter Grace, formerly of V^^orheesville Hi:\'li, said he was very glad when
he found that he could change to an
j\lbeny school. As he was born in Albany,
in this v/ay, he could meet all of his
old friends. lie moved to Voorheesville
in 1935. Ho is very enthusiastic about
almost every sport \re could name, but
he is most interested in baseball. He
is hoping to ma?:e the team next spring.
With those fev/ nevr additions to the
school rixig, and vdth all the grand
people ill m i n e already, ••j9 ought to be
set for a -orctt;'- ;;yood time this year.

Helen Hutchinson, although she is
very sorry to have left Ililne, says that
Vincentian isn't too bad.
She vc.s enjoying herself at the Vincf^ntian GctTogether last Friday night.
