IMPRl^SSIOilS OF MILII
TifElJ AilD NOW
To describe my first impressions of
Milne, I shall have to go back a number
of years. Then, Milne v;as on the third
floor of Draper Hall and what a long
climb v/e had!
The first sight of Milne so awed me
that I fell . down the stone steps approaching Draper and arrived for the inevitable entrance tests a rather battered freshman.
Despite this unfortunate
"entrance", Milne became my school and
has remained so ever since.
To further explain this, I should
add that having been in Milne during its
removal to the present building, my
class grew r.p v/ith its Alma Mater, Suah
"shocks" from its nev/ness, such grandeur, and such room!
All these were ours
for a whole four yearSl
Now, in spite of the fact that
names, faces, and offices have changed,
the same spirit of pride, loyalty, and
friendliness that
Milne still provail. It is indeed satisfying to return
to your Alra^*. Mater as a faculty member
and observe, in the present Milne, the
identical qualiticv^ you admired as member of the undcr£;radvmte body.
Supervisor of English
By Glenna Smith, '42
The question around the school recently as to whether or not girls shall
wear uniforms is not questionable fron
the practical viev^-point.
All v;ill have to admit if they are
to be honest, that uniforms v.dll cut
dov/n on their school clothes budget,
Anyv/here from fifteen to twenty dollars
will buy three complete uniforms that
will be used for most of the school year.
While most Milne girls average about
twenty-five dollars more for their school
clothes.
If uniforms were worn there v/ould
be no feeling of inferiority on account
of clothes.
Most girls would like to
spend more on their clothes, but are not
able to.
If only one fifth of the
school clothes budget was spent for
school clothing, the rest could go tov:ard
nicer and more "date" or "party" dresses .
Some may say it v/ouldn't be long
before everyone grew tired of v;earing
them. The girls are tv/ice as tired from
deciding v;hat to vrear, as from v/earing
the same thing. If uniforms v/ere v7orn,one
day a v/eek could be set aside for the
v/earing of street clothes, if the students were in favor of the idea.
Uniforms v.'ould add something to t" e
prestige of the school.
They would
create more school spirit, and give a
neater appearance to the school.
Every Milne girl should be proud and v/illing to wear her school's color^J
