AN OPEN LETTER
70 THE MILNE STUDENTS
After the Christmas Plays we wander=
ed up to Wagar's. The plays had been well
donee Iwas proud of being associated
with Milne and Milne students.
On entering, we found a booth and
looked about for a waiter, From the ad-
joining room on acquaintance ones
His greoting was, "If It had to associate
with such a gang of noisy hocdiums all
the time, I'd go crazy." I iresonaad
that remark for J had a vague notion
that Milnites were young men and women
of courtesy onc refinemert. I told him
that his remark was ill-foundcds He
left, apparently gied to leave, We
stayed anc regretted it, for we saw how
Milne students behzve in public.
At school there @ still some peo=
ple who run in the corridors and collide
with unsuspecting pedestrians = who
throw school books ani begs all abcut
the first floor corridor = who break
paper bogs in the lunch room = who yell
anc laugh uproorously in the cafeteria
and locker rooms ~ who stop to talk in
narrow pass gowrys cond block traffice
There arc some who don't do these
things, but it is the people who do them
that mike a reputction for Milne.
And ot Wogar‘ts that night after the
Christm-s Plays, a reputation was made
by peoplo, s:t on tubles, who col-
lected in frent ct uu ona made it al=

GIVE YOURSELF 4 ERE.AK!
We winder just how many of us used
our Christmis vact.tion prcfitably this
yeers We wender how meny studied an
hour « day as sc many were heard to s
they would. We wonder how mony of us
took the time to look up the French vero
ona the calgebre problem that have been
bethering us. Probably not very many.
y
The mid-years cre creeping up on us
with startling speed, This past vaca-
titn would have been a grend time to
clear up any details that cre not fixed
in our minds, But there is still time
to prepare to take the :id-years without
fear of flunkings
Even onewhalf hour of extra study
every night would mean a great deal to
you on the day of the exam that youtre
just a little afraid of. It would mean
a much higher mark in the subject that
youtve been doing work ins
Planned study is worth while in the
long run while crammed work is furgotten
by the next days So start tonight to do
some rezl studying so that you can pass
the mid-year examinations because you
know the work, not because you were
lucky enough to guess enovuh: right ars—
wers to pull you throughe Try itt
FaREVELL sD GRELTINGS!
Whice it is not the pclicy of the
Crimson and White to look backward, we
weuld like to glence for a moment at the
1937 part of this schocl year. And we
would like you to take a mement and re-
Yiew your record for 1937.
