YORK PRESENTS
MILNE TALENT
By SHIRLEY VANDERBURGH
Well, spring is definitely here, and
the Music department has set the
pace by presenting the annual music
assembly, which took place in the
auditorium, May 11, at 11:41.
We have a newcomer to the Music
department, and he is Mr. Al Par-
‘sons. ‘Mr. Parson: going to State
College and comes to Milne to help
the senior choir out by taking tape
recording of the songs before we
sing them for the public. No doubt
you heard him “M.C.” our music
assembly for us.
Performed for Students
The senior choir opened the pro-
gram with the ever popular ballad,
“Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” and
the next was a dreamy lullaby
called “Sleep Baby Sleep.” Follow-
ing that the Milnettes sang, “The
Song My Heart Will Sing” and “The
Frog in the Spring,’—two nice
springy songs and cute to boot. Our
pianist, Cynthia Berberian, then
played “Danse Kurde,” by Arkadie
Kouguell. After Cynthia, the new-
ly formed Milnemen carried on with
“Rare Old Wine” and the “Pirates
Song.” Entertaining us next was
our own junior choir, doing a de-
lightful number called “Wishing
Stars.” As our grand finale, the
junior and senior choirs joined in
singing the rolicking carnival tune,
“Come to the Fair.” The Music
department sincerely hopes you en-
joyed their program.
I don’t want to forget to mention
two very diligent workers, our two
accompanists, Beryl Scott, from
senior choir, and Carol Newton,
from junior choir.
Ag in past years, ssembly
the
proved very successful as it gave
the choir a chance to display
talents, and the audience an oppor-
tunity to enjoy beautiful music.
Wasley Speaks
Dr, Ruth Wasley attended the
seventh: University of Kentucky
Foreign Language conference April
22-24, in Lexington, Kentucky. Al-
though sponsored by the State uni-
vers the conference is interna-
tional in scope. Over six hundred
people from forty states and seven
foreign _countri attended. The
theme, “The Seven Ages of Man in
Language Education,” was discussed
in the general sessions, as well as
the sections for various languages,
comparative literature, _ linguistics,
high school teaching of classical and
foreign languages, folklore, and in-
ternational relations. ‘
Miss Wasley spoke on “A Junior
High Exploratory Course in Modern
Languages.” The same afternoon at
the 175th anniver of the found-
ing of Transylvania college, she..had
the privilege of hearing a speech by
President Eisenhower.

part of Janet Vine.
Earlier this year, Mr. Edward
Cowley, head of the Art department,
noticing that the paint on the old
mural had chipped in several places,
and wishing to make a change, re-
moved it and asked Janet
a new one.
After some consideration,
accepted the job, and feeling that

April 13, everyone in the Latin

examination was given May 1, at
10:30 a.m. in the Milne school.

The American Asgociation of
‘eachers_of French sponsored the
French National contest during the
yeck of April 5-9. Dr. Ruth E.
was the contest chairman
The students who
participated in this exam, in order
of their marks were: Dave Wilson,
Barbara Rutenber, and Mary Kil-
lough from French I; Pete Hoppner,
Cecil Blum, and Nancy Kelly from
French IL
The prizes consisted of medals
given to the chapter winners by. the
Services Culturels de l’Ambassade
de France, New York; certificates
of merit given to the outstanding
student of French in each school
that participated in the national
competition by the American Asso-
Offers Course in
“Humanities”’
A new course has been proposed
for ne: s
as it is called, will contain music,
sculpture, architecture, painting, and
literature. Its aim is to develop a
knowledge of, and feeling for these
arts so that’ the students will be
able to talk and write intelligently
and make judgements on these sub-
jects.
The students accepted for this
course must be approved by its in-
structors, Dr. Roy York, Jr, head
of the Music department, Mr. Ed-
ward Cowley, head of the Art de-
partment, and Mr. Hugh Smith of
the English department. Only those
who are vitally interested and have
a desire to learn more about the
arts will be accepted.
To Use Music Room
Because of its size and equipment,
the music room will be the meeting
place for the class, which will con-
vene during periods two and three.
One of the two credits given for
this course will be in English. The
text, “The Humanities” by Dudly
and Laricy, is not a high school text
book. It was written for first-year
college students.
To Attend Concerts, Movies
Besides the material in the text
book, the course program will in-
clude attendance at concerts, art
exhibi and. theater productions.
Records, movies, pictures, outside
reading, and illustrative material
will be stressed.
_ The subjects will not be studied
in any specific order. The students
will make suggestions and have an
important part in evaluating the
course.

opportunity for enjoyment while
learning about the arts.

Spring Seeks Employment
Every year the arrival of spring turns out
new job seekers along with the already filled
annual quota. This means that in order to
surpass our competitors, we, as Milne students
must “get on- the ball.”
Almost all of us seek employment for the
summer months through some manner or
means. Many of us want jobs simply to occupy
our lax time. Others to gain experience that
might be useful in later life, while still others
are possibly saving their money for a later
college education, and are using their summer
jobs as a means for filling their bank books.
Actually, what student isn't interested in earn-
ing a little pin money now and then, and what
better way is there possible then attributing
one’s vacation months to the righteous cause?
Now, in order for us to obtain employment
during the summer months, we, as Milne stu-
dents must begin our canvas early with no
delay. During the interviews with prospective
employers, a “sure-fire way’’ to leave a good,
lasting impression on the interviewer is to dress
properly. When appropriate preparations are
made by the student before an interview, equal
conclusions are made by the interviewer after
an appointment.
Remember, we Milne students are going to
rate high as social security card holders this
year!

Pick Your Book!
Do you have trouble finding books
which interest you? Four of our
own teachers have written a book
to solve this problem for you. It
is called “Fare for the Reluctant
Reader,” and is written by Miss
Anita E. Dunn, Miss Mabel E. Jack-
son, Mrs. Bernice C. Bush, and Dr.
J. Roy Newton. The book is a
bibliography of popular books, with
small comments telling a little about
each story. The books run_ the
gamut from animal and sport stories,
to mystery and romance, and were
selected by students in grades seven
through twelve throughout the
country.
The book has just been revised
by adding currently popular book
titles, and now has 1,500 titles in it.
It is being used in over 2,000 school
systems. It has been reviewed by
schools and libraries and has re-
ceived many words of praise and
congratulations

lates our faculty members on their
success.

Last Minute Information Vexes
Students
Our smiling young teachers told
us a few days later that we would
have to hand in a rough draft of
the outline on our topic. We all
thought, “What good will it do, mine
will be so rough that there won't
be anything there anyway.”
Two of the incidentals we learned
in the course of this unit was how
to write bibliographies and foot-
notes. The fact that they both must
be indented five spaces on the typ
writer was clearly emphasized. How-
ever, this was done a few days b
fore the deadline when the papers
were all typed. This was all right
with us since we needed typing
practice anyway.
Uttered Sighs of Relief
The results of over a month of
suffering were finally read. How-
ever, a few of the students had to
hustie to have the rauch talked
about paper in on time. Ann
Crocker holds the record for the
most black coffee drunk, and the
most hours and the latest hour spent
on her paper. She was still proping
her eyelids open with match sticks |
when the school bus arrived the
next morning.
All the papers are in now and the
juniors are sure sighing with relief.
Their thoughts are for the poor un-
suspecting sophomores who have
the job to tackle next year. Don’t
feel ‘so bad though, when we look
back on the unit we feel it really
wasn't so bad, but we haven’t gotten
our marks yet!
