Beds of sweet pansies bordered with box.
Monkshood and larkspur, purple and white.
Tall, stately primroses, blooming at night
Morigolds, asters, someone's heart's-ease
And in one corner, a weulth of sweet peas,

GENERAL BEHAVIOR
It seems to us, after watching the
behavior of the students for the last
two or three months, that they are not
behaving as well as they once did.
They are noisier when passing between
classes or when they are going to lunch;
they are noisier in classes and in lib-
rary, and in clubs, one cannot make one-
self heard.
Some of this noise is
but we must say, reluctantly,
excusable,
that mich
is not. We see no reason why the stu-
dents cannot pass from one class to an-
other without making all the noise that
they doe
the people who hang around after
must congregate in one room.
We also see no reason why all
school
Remember, when you are going to
lunch, that there are college classes
going on in Richardson Hall, and other
classes in both Milne and Page. Do not
clutter up the halls and meke unneces-
sary noise. We realize that many people
have twelve o'clock classes for which
they must wait, but we also know, from
experience, that this waiting can be
done in silence. If one must talk,
please do so in low tones.

(Continued from column 1)
In one last thing, also, may we
reprimand you, as students. The en-
trunces to the locker-rooms are crowded
just before lunch and also just after
lunch. When forty or fifty people are
all trying to go down narrow stairs two
and three abreest, it is impossible for
anyone to go up. If you would go down
in single tile, and slowly, it would be
a lot better for cll concerned.
In Milne, we have complete freedom
in the matter of passing in the halls.
Perhaps, though, if we ebuse this privi-
lege, 1t will be taken cway from us and
we will have to go on monitor systems.
Thus, we cannot urge you too strongly
to please make less noise and confusion
in pussing through the halls,

of this jnexperience stuff, Jeanie.
We have been quite amsed lately,
(and so have you, we hear; or have you? )
by the antics of our little Marwatliza-
beth in the halls, every hall, of Milne.
We would like to drop a hint to the
effect that the lobby of the auditorium
is not very private, especially during
basketball games.e

Walter Simmons has a couple of
tough week-ends ahead of him. It seems,
alas, our dear Le Ve S. is going ecway
for these two coming week-ends --tch,

cold. Didn't we Mell you, Barbara?
and last, but not least, we suggest
a fund to be donated to the art room for
the miking of "DO NO? DISTURB" signs.
These seem to be of grent need in var-
ious sheltered sports in Milne. It is
annoying, and at least emburrassing, to
be constantly tripping over unobserving
couples.

1. Whele Journalism room.
2. Windows right outside of

MILNE SWAMPS CaTHEDRAL CATHEDRAL JUNIORS DEFEAT
IN AMAZING UPSET BY 41-30 MELNE FIVE SATURDAY NIGHT
AS DOUG MACHARG FEATURES by Ba Walkor’ «+r
In another sensational battle on
the boards, the Crimson Clad Cagers of
Milne once again upset all predictions
by sending the Cathedral Academy quintet
to taste the bitterness of defeat to an
overwhelming 41-30 soore. The Milne
five had all the odds against them as
they went into battle, but, with the
spirit that our faithful rooters fur-
nished, fought their way to victory. And
when we say fight, we mean fight! There
wasn't one moment of let-up in the whole
game. At the first whistle, five hard-
driving, playing madmen went into action
and avenged the defeat which we suffered
at the hands of Cathedral to a 30-29
scoreée Milne and the rooters were aut
to wipe out that "black eye" and to show
the city that Milne was still playing
basketball,
The first half of the game was the
finest type of ball that could be seen
on any high school courte The Crimson
and White squad opened up a tireless
offensive drive that completely threw
their opponents off their guard. By the
time that the opposition were ready to
start, we were so far ahead that they
gave up on the defense to pile up their
points. This bad mistake gave tho
Milne boys a chance to show that they
had a strong defense as well as a smooth
running scoring attack. The second per-
iod followed the first in that the vis-
itors kept the same lead. Only once did
Cathedral threaten and that was in the
third quarter. Two field baskets cut a
big hole in our lead but those two wero
token back by the Milne forwerds, who
each scored a field goal.
Almost as amazing as the upset was
the performance of Milne's two offensive
players. Captain Doug MacHarg dimmed the
ever renowned Howie Tucker's limelight
by blazing forth in an amazing twenty-
one points. He not only blazed forth but
he had them "all burned up." Congratule-
tions, Douge Walt Simmons «clso was a
big gun in piling up tho score. He tal-
lied ten points for Milne to aid in a-
venging the defeat. In fact, the Crim-
son Tide's two forwards ulone pilod up
enough points to beat the opposition.
Three fast guards wlso should have their
due credit for holding down Cathedral's
sooring ace, encbling our soorers to
function unhampered. Ralph Norvell did
a fine piece of work at guard. He was
the first silencer of Tucker. When ho
wes forced to retire from the fray, duo
to personal fouls, Ruy Hotaling ably
filled his shoes und kept up the good
work. In the bast four minutes of play
Ray left the ,ame with three fouls, and
then Foster Sipperley came ine During
those trying minutes when anything can
happen Sippy held Tucker scoreless. all
in oll the Milnites should give special
praise to their basketball team for the
fine game and name they have given Milne
by defeating Cathedral.
Last Saturday evening the Milne
junior varsity once again went down af-
ter a last minute siege of the Cathedral
Academy Je Ve'Se Although they had given
them a five point lead, the final score
was 22=19 in favor of the Purple and Gold.
although the Crimson team had a big
advantage over their rivals in height,
they failed to get the ball after the
tap. The Red Raiders led all through
the first three quarters, with Sipperly
scoring ten pointse In the last few min-
utes of ploy, however, the Academy boys
ralliede They scored soven points to
give thom a five point advantage. al-
though the boys of the Crimson rallied
desperately, the best they could do was
to score one basket. The gamo onded
with Milne im possession of the ball,
but the score was Cathedral 22, Milne 19.
