Tra-la, tra-la in the spring tra-
la. Ah yes, spring again. Can't you tell
it by the dreamy Milnites faces?
Speaking of dreams, most of the
Milne girls have been thinking of present-
ing the Mikado since they saw it at State
College the other night. They can't get
over the scene in which Nanki-Foo demon-
strated his love for Yum-Yum. The only
difficulty is that all the girls want to
play Yum-Yum. Wanki-Poo? Weil. Johnny
(Tyrone Power) Fink has joined the Glee
Club!
It mist be that spring fever has
infected the Milnite for we hear that
Al Metz is keeping an active corresponi-
ance with a Saint Agnes lassie.
