This year the Milne
Junior Red Cross is going
to try to
really accomplish the purpose of
the Red Cross service to
others less

This year, more than ever
before, there is need for
all vje can
do.
The
council, made up of a representative
from each
homeroom, vdll "be the organizing and
directing
force.
Every person in
the school v/ill "be a mem"ber when he has contributed at least ten cents
and has his Red Cross
pin. The work of the organization is for every
member, just the council.
The money collected
will be used as a v/orking
fund and for the different funds
the Red
Cross is sponsoring, such
as the national
Children's fund for refugees
children.
This v;ill be
decided by the Council.
There will be various
groups doing
different
kinds of work, giving a
chance for 2?-ou to make
use of your ovm specialty.
Your homeroom representative v.dll tell you about
them and you will find
sheets posted on the bulletin ijoard for you to
sign. The work does not
have to be done only at
meetings. It can be done
in small groups and individually whenever, you
have time.
Tlie drive for membership will "begin next v;eek

FIRST IMPRiCSSIOl.TS OF A ITJi^W FAC^ILTY :::13:-R
When I was asked to vrrite my first
impressions of Milne for the Crinson and
VHiite, I said that I should be glad
to
do so, I was avrare that my first impressions were most favorable, and it is alvjays pleasant to compliment people ritliout perjuring one's self. Since I liave
tried to determine vrhy I vjas so favorably pleased, I find it rather difficult
to give specific reasons.

Circulation
One thing which could not fail to
strike me from the first is the politom3ss of Milne students.
To go through
the halls in some schools v;hen classes
are passing is a hazardous underta^iing,
comparable only to "bucking thc3 lino" ,
but in Milne one emerges unscathed, I
have as yet attended only one Milne
social function, but it was a surprise
to me to be than?:ed for chaperoiin;; and
to find Junior High people with a sense
of social obligation tov;ard faculty i.icnibers.
Milne students, judging from r.r- observations in the library, seem to study
v/ithout undue urging. There appears to
be a very fine school spirit whicli toi\ches the scholastic phase as well as the
e X t ra-curri cula r,

I can think of only one respect in
which Milne disappoints me. It seems
strange tlriat students staj'' av;ay f^rori such
a fine library in such large nvjnbers.
This, I am aware, is partly beca.uso of
good books and magazines in your hones
as v;ell as the many rjublic libraric-,but
I feel sure that we have much to offer
you,
A library is judged to a certain
extent by the number of books \:hic".i it

* * * A DISPATCH FROM RHUTl'iRS
Fairly ty;')ical of most newspaper
pictunas is Warner Bros, nevr release,
"A Dispatch From Reuters".
Possibly I have straj^ed iron ny
original topic, but no librarian could
resist such a perfect opportunity for a
bit of missionary v/ork.
U-
Starred in the cast is Edward G.
Robinson, \/ith Edna Best and Eddie Albert
heading the fine list of supporting players .

The picture is the story of Julius
Reuter whose Pigeon Po?'.t (stock reports
by Carrier Pl^'eon) is v/iped out by the
telegraph. On the verge of bankruptcy,
he suddenly gets the idea of sending news
by telegraph, v/hich had never before
bren thought of. His company, Reuters
Nev;s, is still in existence.
I
For those vfho enjoy a
vitally interesting filn, "A Dispatch From Reuters", v;hich started a v/ee]':'s engagome.nt
at the Strand yesterday, is heartily
recommended.

Believe me, if all those adhering youiag

V/hich I view with admiring dismay.
Are going to rub off on the shoulders
and arms
Of this suit which was cleaned just today,
Thou wilt still be adored with YiTj usual
zeal,
Ily sv/eetheart, ray loved one, my ovrn.
But 1^11 sternly suppress the emotions I
feel,
And love you, but leave you alone.
It is not that thy beauty is any the
less,
IJor thy cheeks unaccustomedly gay;
They are lovely, indeed, as I must confess.
And I think I should leave them tliat \;ay.
For the bloom of your youth isn*t on
very tight,
And the powder rubs off from your nose,
So my love is platonic, my dear, for tonight ,
For these are my very best clothes!
