O U R L A S T W O R D S

Farewell! We know not whether it be forever, but we are conii-dent that no one of us will ever be lost sight of in the swirling mael-strom of human events. We shall do our utmost to keep our "head and shoulders above the crowd." We shall keep forging ahead, with definite purpose, a shining goal, and the memory of Milne in our hearts. We shairtreasure the precepts of our teachers, guard them, cherish them, fuse them into our lives with bands of love and friendship. We shall fit these precepts into our own experience, not as mere platitudin-ous advice, but as vital expressions of wisdom, pointing in one direc-tion—forward.

Happy recollections! Well we remember our first thrill as Fresh-men, about to participate in a world of our own; everything was inte:"-esting, full of possi1)ilities. As each year sped by, we assimilated learn-ing, and stored it away in our intellectual treasure houses. Our class-mates became more endeared to us, and our teachers and studies formed a vital part of our existence. Cheerful, ever willing to help as they were, our unfailing gratitude pays them deserving tribute.

It is true that we studied earnestly and zealously; that we strove to keep our scholastic record high, for the honor of our school; that we endured hours of anxiety and perhaps of discouragement. But there is another phase of our life that we enjoyed equally well—our athletic and social activities. Our basketball and baseball games have been attended with splendid spirit, our dances well patronized, our so-cial functions successful. We are coming to a fuller realization of the importance of our extra-curricular activities.

As still another commencement approaches, and another graduat-ing class prepares to assume its responsibility in institutions of higher learning or in the business world, these treasured memories throng eagerly to the minds of all. And mingled with the regret of departing, springs a mighty resolve that, as the first class to graduate from our new High School, we will blaze the trail to new honors and added glories for our beloved Alma Mater. 1.

Plie SfiuiJeiit Coencn Sincc I Q 2 I , when it was founded, the Student Council has had

charge of the school's hudjêt and the activities jiôverned thereby.

The Council of 1( 29 has just completed its yearly tasks, which

have been heavier than usual, but much more enjoyable because of the

new buildins^s. A desk has been placed on the second floor corridoi

where a Student Council member îves information and supervises the

order.

This year the O. T. S. A . dance jîven by the Student Council for

a scholarship was very successful. Forty dollars from the receipts

have been appropriated for books for the new library.

The Council has compiled a pamphlet for next year's freshman

class. The pamphlet explains the extra-curricular activities of Milne

l lij^h School, and the scholarships and prizes which are presented at

graduation. This is a new project, and we hope it will be continued

in the vears to come.

The "Crimson and White" was founded in 1905, and lias continued

ever since to he one of our most imjxjrtant extra-curricular activities.

It illumes the ideals of Milne and her rei)resentative talent.

This past year, improvements have been made in the form and

content of our publication. A sports editor has been chosen; depart-

ments have been enlarged; stress has been laid on the literary jiurpose

of the magazine. Gradually it is assuming the proportions of a i)ub-

lication of lirst class calibre.

Next year, with the student body doubled, let us hope that it will

exceed all ex])ectations and l)ecome truly worthy of Milne's emblem

of Crimson and White.

"Hello. Ik'k'ii! I haven't scon you since our t^radualion. I sup-pose you too have been busy at collesê—hut don't tell me you've for-gotten Milne Ilijuh!"

"()h. no! Mow could 1? Laura, do you remember how stranj;e everx'thinj;" seemed to us those In'St few weeks?"

"^'es. shall I ever for.êt the hus 'c amount of homework we harl, and above all, the monthly exams, .and the awful walks to the office! Then. too. we were always so delij^hted when the critics visited our classes, weren't we?"

"Dear me. yes! lUit let's talk of somethini;- pleasant. Didn't we enjoy all those parties and outins^s we went to! There were the Rush l)arties. the school Reception, the junior-I'^reshman ])arty. the Q. S. A. dance, the outint " to Kingston I'oint. the society outinj^s—and, oh yes, the initiations, and—"

"()h, llelen, why brin^- that uj)? I'.y the way, who were our class ol'hcers that year?"

"Let me see—()liver \'ork was {'resident, Marie judd was \ l cc President. I-)ill Shar])e was Secretary, and ()li\e I'itts was Trea.--urer."

" T o be sure. And what a lot of work they had to do—(especially the 1'reasurer) !"

"Laura, do you remember how hii;h and mifi;-hty we felt on receiv-int, the worthy title of sophomore? I'ut, seriously, we really did be^m to become famous that year, don't you think so?"

"Well, at least, we certainly lost our t^reenish hue and ])ecame a part of Milne. In fact, one of our members, 'Dot' 1'irchenough, re-ceived the pri/.e-s])eakin.!L>- medal. And, of course, we took an active part in chai)el ])ro,^rams, and supjjorted our basketball team with a true school s])irit that year. Didn't you represent the class of '29 in the Simina-.\deli)hoi debate?"

"Didn't 1, and for once the boys out-talked the iîrls—not verv po-lite, were they?"

"I should say not. but. nevertheless, it livened thinj^s up that year." "And when we were Jolly juniors we certainly made everythin<j:

hum, too, didn't we?" " ( )h , my, yes. we had a fnijuer in all that went on. Our members

were in all organizations. 'Member Dot IWrchenouj^h was Secretary of Student Council and President of the junior Class. Let's see. who else was on Student C^)uncil—oh, yes, Ruth Reynolds and Fred Hall."


"I'rc'd was also Treasurer of the juniors, with Lois Cook as Secrc tary and l>ill Sharpc as \'ice I'rissident."

"Tlien as we were the second hi^liest class in rank, our views were respected a i^reat deal. e\en in tiie societies. Marie judd was \'icc President of (Juin. while you were I'ianist, and Harriet [ones was Marshal."

'"Ilelen, weren't you Secretary of Sit nia that vear, and wasn't I'rances McAIahon Vice President?"

"That's rii ht. Mow I used to worr\' about making" u]) the Secre-tary's re])ort on time !"

"Now, my dear, 1 can't inias ine you worrying" about anythins '. I'.ut speakinti of ^ -ettint;- thinijs in on time, 1 can still see Irene Gedne}-, as assistant lulitor-in-Chief, Dot and I'rances as Assistant Alumni iMlit-ors, and vou as yVssistant l^xchan<;e l^ditor, each doinii" \"our bit bv rusli-ini - around to s et the material in for your sections in the 'Crimson and White.' Then when vou were each appointed to the heruls of your resi)ective de])artments, you had to work liarder than ever."

" l l ow we all rushed at the last minute. Say, we mustn't for^vt b'red Ilall's 'nose for news,' worl in - on the School Notes, while Ollie was always trvinj " to fmd jokes for his dei)artment."

"I've been tr\ini - to think of something;- that .Sionia did that ycjir, what was it,—rather a clever idea but I "

"Oh, you must mean the Si^ma banciuet at the Colony IMaza and the theatre i)arty at the Strand in l)ecem])er to celebrate Simula's twen-ty-lifth anniversary."

"That year Ouin had an outin^- at Kinderhook Lake. iMy, didn'r we have a jôod time over the week-end?"

"Sii^ma's annual outini - was at indi.nn Ladder and for once, ir (hdn't rain."

"1 lelen, do you remember how nervous we were at Prize-S])eakin,i^ that year?"

Oh, I.aura, how could I forjêt? Irene, Henry l>latner, you, and 1 surely did our bit in representino- the Class of '29 at that memorable event."

"We certainly did, althouf^h we didn't 'im" down' any i)ri/.es." "Well , cheer uj), you won the Junior ICssay• i)rize." "So I did, and Irene (jedney won the junior Scholarship." "That was j^reat! lUit speakinj - of doinj^ thini^s, do you rememl)er

how many offices were held by members of our class in our Senior year? Let's see how good our memory is on some of those names. You start."

"Wêll, on 'Crimson and White,' there were Irene, I'red, Dot, l^'rances, Henry, Ollie, Helen Cromie, and you. Isn't that ri^ht?"


"Yes. and Dot was 1'resident of Student Council, with Ruth Reyn-olds as Vice T'resident. Then, of course. Irene, Frances and Fred also looked after our interests there."

"It would never do to forjjêt the societies with Marie Judd as Pres-ident of Ouin. Ollie York of A(lel])hoi. and you. Helen, as President or Sis^ma. 1 can still remember those joint social meetini^s of Quin and Sii^ma; and, of course, the hridsê parties Quin used to have."

"While we're on the subject of parties, we mustn't forget Si^ma's second banc|uet and theatre party with the usual rainy weather. And still more excitinj^-, the out-of-town basketball j^-ames; also Sit^ma's out-in.e: to Pontoosuc."

"Helen Cromie and Ollie York won Prize-Speakini^- medals that year."

"'Yes, they were the lucky ones that year. Of course, we remember that Irene, you. Dot, I'red and Helen Cromie were the five honor stu-dents of our class."

"Do you remember the new critics that year—there were three. 1 think."

"1 should say so, and I also remember the nice but shockint^ new buildini^-. 1 can still see that lovely library."

"S])eakinfi;- of new things, we mustn't forget the unusual locker rooms, ^'ou remember, don't you, how one had to play 'hide and j o seek' every day, in order to find all one's belonînji^s ?"

"Then, too, we learned that electricitv cost twenty cents an hour to lij ht one room; also that we must leave all windows closed—no mat-ter how painful—so that the ventilation system mij;ht learn to function properly."

"Oh, don't forget the verN* welcome s])ellinji;- tests every Friday and the always convenient S])ecial si)ellini;- class for those poor unfor-tunates who dared to missi)ell even one word."

"While we're on the subject of new ideas, that w\as the year it began to be fashionable to own and drive one's car to school. There certainly was a lonj - line of them at the door every day."

"That's rij^ht. and the Seniors were represented by a I'ord and a Studebaker, weren't they? Wy the way. the Clee Club and the Dra-matics Club were most enjoyable that vear. too."

"Then there was the N'arsity dance. That was somethinj^- nevv' and a huj e success."

"(')h. there are so many thinj^s one could talk about if one had thi; time, just think! We started out with about seventy-five but when we j^raduated there were only about thirty-five. It's too bad all of us couldn't have finished toyether."

T


"Yes, it is a shame that so many '(h'opped out by the wayside.' It's hard to keep trudj inj - on and on, but then, it's worth it. Tliere are so many pleasant and amusint, thinj^s to look back ujjon, that one almost forfêts the difficulties, but one can never forget Milne and what she did for us. Let us hope that we helped to keep her standards hi. h while we were there, and that she can always be ])rou(l of us. even thoujîi we'll be far away."

Dorothy—"My dear, wasn't that a lovely ban([uet that l iekn I'auly âve at her ai)artment last niijht for the class of '29?"

Helen—"Yes, it is so delightful to meet one's old classmates after a i)eriod of ten years. Helen Tauly's e.\])erience as director of the or-f^'anization for the 'i'etterment of the Housewife' has certainly made her a charminjj^ hostess."

Dorothy—"It was so nice because well over the majority of the class was there, and it was so interestins^- to see how each one h;id changed, and to lind out whether they all had carried out the ambitions they cherished while at Milne."

Helen—"Yes, and when you come to think of it, it was c|uite a congenial crowd. I'êryone seemed so glad to see one another again, and there was no distinction shown between the famous and those who are following the usual path of life."

Dorothy—"How did you happen to be in New York for this re-union? You are living in Hershey, Pennsylvania, aren't you, Helen

Helen—"Yes, 1 do live there, but 1 came to the salesmen's con-vention of the Hershey Company which was held here last week, and 1 stayed over for the event. 1 am going to supervise the opening of a novel Hershey stand on the road from Yonkers to New York."

.. I-ematics. f !

I [elen—"Si)eakint^- of schools—another member of our class has r| turned to the athletic side of schoolwork. The students of JVlilne Hig-h School must be (|uite ])rof"icient in athletics with IJetty Green in charj^-e | of iîrls' basketball and her husband coachinj^- all boys' athletics." |

Dorothy—"Isn't it a novel idea of the Conklin sisters to write 1' that joint prose and ])oetry book? 1 should ima^'ine it will be ([uite a success, considerini^- l^sther's talent for writin_ - poetry and ICvelyn's l\ for story telling'." ;

Helen—"I 've been wonderinj;- if we two couldn't spend our next Christmas vacation together somewhere. I'd just love to s o to John | Gottschalk's huntin*^- lodjê in the Maine woods, after the chaminj^- de- | scription of it we heard last ni^ht." i

Dorothy—"Didn't Menry I'latner seem taken up with the idea of | addini^' a jôlf course to the lodjê, and startiui;- a ôlf school for ama-teurs? I think it would be wonderful if he woukl do that—1 always wanted to learn to play j^'olf. The idea of an orchestra for dancinij there at night sounded j 'ood to me, too. With Menry as its leader—it certainly will be a success."

H e l e n — " Y e s — a n d I heard that Lois Cook is . "oing- to be interior decorator for the new ballroom, and costumer for the dancing girls wiio will entertain."

Dorothy—"I imagine it will be cpiite an attractive place after all these i)lans are completed. I think Henry is ])lanning to have a grand opening sometime next Deceniber with I'etty \'an l ^pjis, the Premier j Danseuse of the Metropolitan Opera Company as a special feature."

I lelen—"^'es, and they were speaking of having our ne.xt class reunion there; I think it will be ideal."

Dorothy—"It 's too bad all the members of our class weren't there last night. I'ut, of course, we can excuse Dot lUabey. She's deej) in her work in 1 lollywood n o w — a f t e r signing her four )'ear contract with De j\lille to star in his next i)icture, 'r>aby Dol l . ' "

Helen—"\'es, and Susan Morgan is in r)()ston now giving som? of her readings in benefit of the I'aln-'s Milk I'und. I was hoping she'd be with us so that we could hear some of the poems that helped lu'r win the I'ulit/er Prize last year."

I certainly was glad to hear ot the great recej^tion that welcomed her in Italy on her ])ian() concert tour of l<"uroi)e. However, l .aura l^detcher hlled her place very niceK' by playing for us. J.aura is very well-liked by her pu])ils as a music teacher."

D o r o t h y — " Y e s , and Connie Crear couldn't get away from her duties as secretary to Mr. Sayles."

I le len—"Weren ' t you amused when Fred Mall insisted upon a game of chess last night?"

D o r o t h y — " Y e s , it is especially funny when you consider his posi-tion in the world today as the foremost Latin critic. He has certainly done a great work by translating that ancient Greek e])ic which Esther Hilton, famous woman archeologist, has uncovered in recent excava-tions near Athens."

Helen—"1 was so glad to hear that John Castor and Clarence Livingston are doing so well. 1 always thought that engineering a bridge was t|uite an undertaking, but it is evidently merely child's play to those two."

Dorothy—"Wasn' t it a shame that hdeanor Curtis had to leave early? Ikit then 1 sui)p()se William junior needed her more than we did. Children of that age, you know !"

Helen—"I always thought that Janet Cami)bell would be an ideal kindergarten teacher! Weren't you amused when .she described the antics of Stanton Nehemiah, jr . , in her kindergarten?"

D o r o t h y — " Y e s — ' l i k e father, like son !' I was so glad that I'rances McMahon dropped in for a while, even though she was rather hurried because of her numerous social engagements. She .still has those lieiy tresses which won her that nickname she hated so!"

Helen—"Rose Schweigert has certainly brought her name before the eyes of New Y o r k society enthusiasts, since she ])resente(l her dis-play of perfume articles in New York's leading beauty i)arlors."

Dorothy—"Yesterday, while I was sh()i)i)ing, 1 noticed a big crowd around the perfume department of Wanamaker 's ; and when 1 went


over to see what the attraction was, I found ?Tarriet Jones (Hsplayiru: some of Rose's Paris creations before an enraptured thronj^-."

Helen—"I was so glad that Oliver York was there last nij^ht when I sli])ped and strained my ankle playinj^ leap-froj^ with you just before we ate. He relieved it so ([uickly and easily."

Dorothy—"Oliver is c[uite a success in Philadelphia as an osteo-path, I've heard, it was very foolish of us to be actinj^' so childish, but it just shows that we haven't outi^rown those silly streaks that we had so often at Milne."

Helen—"And Nancy Lawrence, the famous woman philosopher, told us that one who is aftlicted in that way never ([uite outtij-rovvs it."

Dorothy—"Isn't it nice that Lillian Sinon has that line position as ])r()fessional buyer for that largê concern in Detroit.?"

H e l e n — " Y e s — a n d I was so thrilled to see lulith Ketcham and hear her vivid account of her endurance flij^ht which broke the record for women's tlyinj -. She was c|uite a distinguished guest."

Dorothy—"And it seemed so good to have a chat with I^sther West again. From all rejjorts, she is very much res])ecte(l as Dean of Women in State College."

Helen—"Yes , and I've heard that she has received offers from larger colleges for the same position, but she has heard that many of her fellow graduates from Milne have decided to send their children to State, so she wants to wait until they are under her guidance."

Dorothy—"i 'et ty Roemer seems to be very content with her posi-tion, doesn't she?"

Helen—"Well , she certainly has every reason to be—the position as private secretary to J. P. Morgan, the multi-millionaire, is not to be scoffed at."

Dorothy—"Morence Smith has found her life work, at last, a^ President of the Mothers' Club of Hoosick Falls, and she seems to t)e making it very worthwhile."

Helen—"Isn't Ivuth Reynolds the i)icture of health? Her role as a farmer's wife certainly seems to be agreeing with her. They have a lovely farm near Hamilton, haven't they?"

Dorothy—"^\'s, that's what 1 heard. Wâsn't it cute the way Mildred Stone was so interested in Helen Pauly's little girls ques-tion about geography? Mildred is certainly an authority on this sui<-ject, since she teaches fifth grade geography."

Helen—"I think liob Wiley is the only one we haven't mentioned. He certainly attained his life-long ambition by his 1( 39 model of the Wiley I'ord in which he has invented the left-hand shift attached to the

1


steering wheel—both of which can he o])erate(l at the same time with one hand."

D o r o t h y — " M y dear, I am so glad to have been able to have tea with you today. It is indeed a pleasant thing to see you again and to talk about old friends."

Helen—"1 do hope everyone will each be just as happy and suc-cessful next year when we meet again. 1 wonder if we have fulfilled the expectations of the faculty?"

CLASS SONG Hail to Milne High School, our Alma Mater true, A staunch and loyal tribute our Class brings as thy due. Thy standards are perfection, alike in work or play, T h y ideals shape the paths our feet shall tread another day.

CLASS POEM A host of different thoui^hts will upward rise A s the days that mark our exit here are fraus^ht With prei)arati()ns for the last jôodbyes Of those who lost or won the things they sought. A touch of sadness here will lie, regret T o leave the school commingled with our l i f e — I'ut here no sentiment save one is rife, And that 1 vow is but relief to let Our minds go out to think of things in store And ])lan for what the future years may b r i n g — Relief 1 say to let our thoughts outlling, ()ur voices ring in tones unheard before.

And may the paths that now on routes diverse Lead each to aims his preference makes clear,

I Conjoin again, and us in joy immerse With recollections time has made so dear.

: And you, success, beguiler, give a share T o all who now from out these portals fare.

The various activities which the class of '30 has undertaken dur-ini, the past year have been for the most part very successful. Our "stunt" at the school reception certainly was rather unusual. Al-though perhaps it lacked talent in a large amount, nevertheless we believe that our "humble best" furnished amusement. The Junior-h^-eshman ])arty with Its novelties was all that could be asked for m the way of an informal gathering at which we could all g et acquainted.

Our President ably represented us in this year's annual prize speaking contest. We cannot forget to mention the work of many of our boys on the teams. Our girls did their bit by loudly cheering the boys on to victory.

The Juniors have just completed this year under the leadership of the following officers:

President TTarriman Sherman Vice I'resident Carl Wirshing Secretary Helen Wiltsi-; Treasurer Lucian Colo Sergeant-at-Arms Warren Cooper

The Class of '30 offers the Class of '29 its sincerest wishes for a hapjjy and prosperous future. It is the earnest hope of the Juniors that on their graduation they will have completed four years as suc-cessfully as the present Senior Class has done.

MRLEN M. W I L T S I E .

The members of the Junior Class are:

Albright, Grace Cole. Lucien Alden, Dorothy Davies, Esther Atwood, P)ertram Degenaar, Loretta I'eik, Alverda Dunigan, Anne I'oyce, Knowlton Eairlee, Marshall Cleveland, Annette Garrison, lUirgess Cooper. Warren Garrison, Ralph

The 1928-29 calendar of the Class of 1931 was marked by con-tinual activities. Friendly courtesies were exchanged at the School Reception for the Freshmen. ()n January 22. 1929, the Class of '31 was pleased to return the hospitality previously extended to us by the Class of '29. A large number of the class attended the Q. T. S. A. dance and greatly enjoyed this social event. We were represented by T.orna Drowne in the I'rize Speaking Contest. The final social aifair of the year was the Varsity Dance at which a large rei)resentation of the class was present.

Our l)oys and girls have done much to bring the class into tlv limelight. The boys succeeded in representing us in basketball and baseball, while the girls made us proud of them by their prowess in dramatics. The class as a whole has given the teams its moral (and vocal) support by attendance at games. We have entered all school contests with a spirit of competition that has forced our elder oppo-nents to work very hard to keep their laurels intact.


Tims under the .guidance of the followint^ named officers, our cal-endar of activities has closed:

As this school year nears a close, we Freshmen are prepariii.^ to discard our traditional verdure. During the year all our anticipations of Milne have been fully realized, and we are grateful to the upper-classmen for the kindly interest which they have manifested in us. The party given by the Juniors for the Freshmen was thoroughly en-joyed, as were also the basketball games and other social functions which we attended.

At a meeting in April, our class, assisted by Juniors, organized and elected the following officers: President, Robert Harding; Vice Presi-dent, Betty Chapman; Secretary, Lois Potter; Treasurer, Herbert Wil-son; Sergeant-at-Arms, Richard Morgan.

Three members of our class have attained other positions of honor. Virginia Garrison was chosen to participate in the annual prize speak-ing contest, P)etty Chapman has been appointed assistant business man-ager on the editorial staff of the "Crimson and White," also the repre-sentative of the Freshman Class on the Student Council Hoard, and Rob Harding as our representative on the Athletic Council.

Now that we have been initiated into the activities of Milne, we are eagerly looking forward to our Sophomore year.

This year, ]\Iilnc lias scon lier most succcssful season in athlelics. Two clubs have been ornanized, and unlimited interest has been aroused. In consideration of the coachinj " and the few number i.>r students in the school, both scjuads have performed excellently.

At the time of j 'oing to i)ress we have i)lave(l three baseball frames. Rensselaer defeated the Milne "nine" by ii to 5 in a fast con-test at Ridjjêiield. The njxt week saw a better attempt of Milne. W'j defeated Castleton on their diamond with a score of Kj to 2. On the

l iA.SKK'ri ' .ALL 'IM-.AM


followin.c^ day, the Varsity squad was on the road a -aiii. AUamont was turned back in a "windy orgy" by the Mihie a j rej ation by 7 to i. lul Mayberry hurled a wonderful j ame aj ainst Castleton and Alta-mont, while Ollie York pitched af 'ainst the stron. - hittini - force from across the river.

With the foundation that has been laid, T sincerely hope that ath-letics will continue to f 'row in Milne throuj^h the coming years.

In the last issue space was at a premium and this department was unable to give the official box-record of the basketball players.

The}' were not announced until the ni^ht of the Varsity llanciuet when they were received with j^reat applause. The basketball team will be led by Carl Wirshinj;-, and the new baseball captain is Harriman .Sherman. Knowlton 1 Joyce is manaiêr for 1930 basketball, and Mason Tolman is manaj inii;- next x ear's baseball sc[uad.

\.\\<<\'ry C L r n


I'lirjêss Ciarrison is llie new president of the Varsity Club, and PTarri-man Sherman is the succee(hns4- secretary.

After the last t anie. we celebrated our successful year at Jack's Restaurant. At the Varsity lianquet. Doctor Rojêrs of Leland Stan-ford University. California, f>ave a line talk on athletics. "Po])" Sayles drew the relation between athletics and education, and Coach I'aker said a word on our future athletics. "Ollie" York was toastmaster and Carl Wirshinij;- i)layed the school sonjj s. The awards were i iven out by the coach, and the new (officers were announced.

SCHQQLfNQTES On April 12 the annual Prize Speakinj^ Contest was held. Helen

Cromie won the jîrls' medal with a selection from "Quality Street," and ( )liver York won the boys' award with a selection, entitled "The Monkey's Paw." Miss Cromie was coached by I'lorence Gormley and Mr. York by Wallace Strevell. Added attraction—school Orchestia and (ilee Club.

()n April 26, the \'arsity Dance was held in the State College Gym. Hie ])urp()se of this dance was to raise money for new baseball uni-forms. Accordini^- to Robert Wiley, President of the Varsity Club, the dance was fairly successful.

The honor students were announced on May 6 by Miss Wlieelinj^-. The entire student body was not present at the time, and for their benelit the announcement herewith follows in print. Irene Gedne^-leads the class as valedictorian, [.aura I'letcher is salutatorian. Dor-othy liirchenouj^h is third, l-'rederick I'. Flail, jr., fourth, and Helen Cromie fifth.

The baseball season opened on May 8 at Ridjêheld in a seven-inniiif;- j ame with Rensselaer High School. Milne lost with a score of 12 to 4. As a whole, the team played very poorly, but, with more i)rac-tice and more interest, it can do much better. Our next game is with Iloosick Falls, at IToosick Falls, May 15.

At the suggestion of Miss Wheeling, the Student Council has adopted a measure to issue a i)amphlet next year for the convenience


and Ijenefit of incominii" classes. This l)()()kk't will contain informa-tion rei ar(linj>- essay i)ri/.es. prizes for proficiency in certain subjects, scholarships, athletics, societies, school maiâzine, and other extra-cur-ricular activities. It is to be a handbook of Milne llis^h School. W'e think it an excellent idea and we h()])e that it will be successfully car-ried out.

On May 15 the Student Council elected its officers for 1929-30. They are as follows :

President lUirsêss Garrison \'ice President Carl \\'irshin<;-Secretary Ruth Peine:'

The Freshman Class elected as its re])resentatives to the Council Tk'tty Chapman and Rhea L'nj>erman. The Sophomores elected Ruth Peiner, William McCord and Paul I'.eik.

At a recent meetinji of the "Crimson and White" I'oard, tlie members for next year were chosen. We feel confident that they will ])ublish the majâzine with . reat success. They follow:

Ivlitor-in-Chief Ralph Garrison Assistant I'.ditor Puth Reiner School lulitor Emma Grace Webb Assistant School lulitor William McCord Alumni lulitor Doroth}- I lotalin?.'; Assistant Alumni lulitor Lola T.arbour l''.xchantê lulitor Abbie Gilkerson Assistant I'lxchanjê l^ditor Lorna Drowne [oke Ivlitor Ilarriman Sherman Assistant joke lulitor hdliot Parkman Sports lulitor Uurj ess Garrison Assistant Sports l^ditor Raymond Pafunda r.usiness Manajêr i'.etty Cha])man Advertising^- Manager William Shar])e

"Vincentian," Vincentian Hig-h School. "Crimson and White"

Your distinctive cover led us to expect something exceptionally good in your spring issue, and we were not even slightly disappointed. l" rom cover to cover it held our attention completely.

ZETA SIGMA

Another year has ])asse(l, and one that has proven successful for Sif^ma. The I'reshmen Rush I'arty, the Sigma Banquet, the joyous time of Girls' Day, and the Sigma Outing were among the principal activities of the year. The members have shown the true Sigma spirit and have carried out the programs of the year exceedingly well. The social meetings have proven a benefit both in literary and social resi)ects. R. E. R.

QUIN

Marie Judd, our honored President, has led—and g-ently prodded from behind—Quin into and through a highly successful year. Our tasks and accomplishments are as one.

We ])ursued I'^x'shmen and caught them—to the members f)' twenty-three. They seem very agreeable in captivity, and are amiably working with us. Alternating- with aiding the progress of the Q. T. S. A. and the \'arsity, we undertook a Quin i)aper. Was it successful? Dot llotaling- and Jane Tugh had charge of it. Need more be said?


Ouinlilians liavc tried to rcmcmhcr that our new huildini^ is ouis as loni;- as wc'sîvc it tlic carc sucli a possession merits.

/\n(l say—liave }-()u seen a small object Inirliiii;- herself through Milne's halls? It's Marjorie Williams—official bully who confiscates my lunch money and converts it into Ouin dues. How she can see money in the offing ! Since her coming, however, we're ))ros])erouslv ])roud of our Treasury.

We are taking Quin's colors even into the Girls' Day ])lay. Mar-jorie Williams, Helen Wiltsie. Janet Mallory and I—me—have parts. Looking into the future thus, 1 can see that it is about time 1 rounded this off with a "good luck," to every one and "a merry something or other," but 1 don't think I'm going to have time. AFarjorie Williams is approaching and she has that hapj)y look in her eye that means I owe monev. I'm evacuating! Good bve! ^ „ ,
