BANKING IN MILNE
The question of banking in school
is our present problem. So far two
homerooms have decided to bank in school.
We believe that more homerooms should
take advantage of this opportunity.
The convenience of banking at
school is a big point to be considered.
Ordinarily, high school pupils do their
banking at irregular intervals, if at cll.
If they did their banking at school,
they would heve a definite time each
week (Wednesday) when they could put
into practice the principles of thrift.
MILNE HIGH REPRESENT..T IVES

HOMEWORK
Why do homework?
It's so much bother.

You go to your mom.

So, you bring to school
a fibbing excuse
That you hed to go out
-Or your tooth was loose,
Te way it should be.
You should do homework.
t's not much bother,
fakes little of time
With no help from father.
When fcther'ts not home,
Don't go to your mom
'Ccouse she cin't help you;
She has work to be done?
So you bring to school
Your homework «11 done,
Your troubles cll over,
Your cares all won.

SNOWED "INN"
One duy lust winter when I wos
out camping in my "shock" (sixty rooms
und & golden stuire.se), I heard un
ewful cr.sh! I rushed to the window
of my preen und pink spotved room und
saw the trouble! a rubber tree hid
follen ucross the drive-wey. No dii-
mge wos done cs it bounced right
beck into position .guin. Then I s.w
the trouble! a filling snow fluke hed
hit it.
Thet night when I went to bed the
snow piled up four or tive feet deep.
Th..t next morning I was
ed when I he.rd :. loud "Grish‘! Slam}
Bengt" I. locked .round me anu then
I s.w whet happened} I hd iccident-
ly set off “Little Joe", my wl.rm
clock. I shut it off ind got dressed.
When I got down stcirs I looked
out of the kitchen window und to my
surprise I couldn't see .. thing! I
c.lled the butler ind my friends, but
they were no better off thin I.
I went over to the window ..nd
felt cround ond whit do you think?
The shcede wos down!
I looked out the window ..nd s.w
that the snow wis cbout ten feet high
uround the "shi.ck", but o11 the snow
Was about six feet uw.y from the
"Shuck", le.ving .. sort of moct, ond
even flowers were ,rowing in it. I
looked Ground cnd s.w the ciuse or it!
The cook hid lett the 12ut tron burn-
ing Gnd it h..d melted ..11 the snow.
I got an ides of how to get out
of the snow so I run to my room end
put on my yuchting suit. ‘I then grub=
bed the iron end rushed out to my
yecht.
AS soon ius I 40t sbourd, I held
the iron iff front of me and melted
“11 the snow for miles cnd miles c-
round. I then sturted my small yccht
(merely 68,754, 341,000 feet lon.)
and went cround collecting all the
people who were stranded because the
melted snow formed « river.
Now I heve finished my modest
t..le cnd will some d.y tell you hew
I went "Lic"-on hunting in Africc.
