MORE PROGRESS
The Milne March of Progress greets
a newcomer and wishes them a safe and
happy journey. The Theta Nu Literary
Society, for boys, has recently been es-
tablished as a regular extra curricular
activity in Milne with Lowell Gypson as
president.
Praise is due that energetic and
ambitious group of s@phomore boys who,
by their own efforts, drew up plans for
and organized a new boys club, designed
especially for the discussion of current
world problems. The name of the society,
Theta Nu, was chasen out of respect for
and deference to an old society which
existed years ago in Milne. The society
has already won the support and consent
of the faculty and the Student Council
and the first meeting as a recognized
society was held last Tuesday in room 126)
at 11;00, when Quin, Sigma, and \wdedphbd
also meet.
Each week, then, we see new evi-
dence of progress in Milne, new indica-
tions that the youth of Milne, of Al-
bany, of America, of the whole world are
not standing still, but are ever advanc-
ing onward,
SUPPORT THE TEAM!
In last week's basketball game, on
Saturday, January 12, one thing we new
ticed with very great satisfaction was
en)
the excellent support which was given to
the team by the members of the school.
No basketball team, no matter how
good it is, can play its best without
Support. Milne, although it has a very
good team this year, must support it if
it is expected to show up well. In last
week's game, most of the spectators were
Milnites, and they gave the team excel-
lent support. The team played a very
good game, but, unfortunately, facing a
team at full strength, they lost, 47-2c.
Pherefore, in the next game, on
Friday, January 25, support the team to
your utmost ability, and let's win and
show Sharon Spa how g00d we really are.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Crimson and
White will soon profit by the addition
to its staff of the Junior Journalism
Class. The members of this class will
assume positions on the staff as assis-
tants and reporters and augment their
technical knowledge with actual experi
ence. Next year these ambitious juniors
will edit the newspaper and many of you
sophomores will be enrolled in a similar
Journalism class, Already, under the
direction of Instructor Daniel Van Leu-
ven, editor of the State College News,
the Juniors have written several news
end feature stories which were included

THE JOLLY MILNER
NEWS NOTE; "Typical honor students
don't crack & smile et puns, but low—
renking students find them funny." (col-
lege psychological findings.) To make
these facts authentic, we publish hereby
the results of Milne interviews:
Honor Student Neef; Neigh, even a
horse looks down on a pun.
Low-Ranker Barbera Allen; Ha, hay
do I like puns, indeed? Especially with
coffee’ I think thct's original.
H-S Smith: I have mintained thet
the pun is the highest, most authentic,
and most glorious form of humor during
my entire 7-year career in this jernt,
which does not disprove the point as I
am not a typical honor student.
L-R Tynan; I agree to that.
H-S Emery; Gleepst
JeMeSe Define the term, please.
H-S (G) Stein; A pun is a pun is a
pup.is o pun is a rose is a rose.
JeM,S. Thank youe
L-R Kessler: A pun is the
form of humor.
L-R Vroman; Pardon me, but how do
you spell "Country" in Troy Country Day?
That interruption so throws us off
the track that we conclude with the sad
story of the gold-digger who didntt
recognize her suger becouse he wasn't
wearing the same pocketbook. Gleeps,

KOK KR KOR OR OR OK ROK
Last week's game was @ sour apple
to the Milne High School squad. It seems
thet Troy Country Day likes to get play-
ers who have graducted from other schools
to play for them (meow). Oh well, better
luck next time. The singing on the bus
was peeche fine anywoy.
There is a new cruze in Milne High
School these dcys, and it is ‘called
"Cheesie in the Hallzie." That is, two
boys play chess in the hall while Pro-
fessor John Me Sayles looks on. It takes
three good sports to play the game suc-
cessfully. Figure it out for yourself,
Q. T. S. Ae
Quin, Theta Nu, Sigm, Adelphoj.
This year we can have a real Q. T. S. A.
Dance. And you all know why. Now every-
one in the school stys:
"Lots of luck to Theta Nu,
That's just a wish from me to you."
Ques; Did you miss the Dribble Colum
last week?
Ans; Freshman - No, I never read it.
Soph - Yes, a happy miss that.
Junior - No, the paper was good.
Senior - Yes, it seemed good not
to read the trite.
Sonny Be = Yes, it's a peeche
fine column and I love it.
You see someone has to like the column
and it might just as well be (me) or (I).
I know for a fact that Harry (ace)
Witte was chasing Rey Hotaling around «
bush last week with 4 water gun at the
Edge of the Wood. (Some pun, eh Rey?)
