MISS WHIDLING SDMDS
IeTior To sTupnuTs
The following is a
shortened letter from
Miss Wheeling, formerly
of the English depart-
ment,
Dear Milnitess
For the last two days,
, we have been at Carlsbad
Caverns, This cavern was
discovered in 1901 by a
cow hand, Jim White, who
thought he say smoke
rising from a huge open~
ing in the earth, every
evening at dusk,
Closer scouting showed
him that bats leave the
cave every evening from
5 to 6 and return every
morning 4o.m,, from May
to October, when frost
kills the insects at
Black River, Their exo-
dus he mistook for smoke.
The Rangers estimate that
3-5 million bats live
there and they eat six
tons of insects a night,
There are no mosquitoes
in the country.
The caves are 750-850
feet deep. The founda—
tions are, for the most
part, pure white(lime de~
posits), They take many
grotesque forms, The
walk is 6’ miles, Zunch
is served in an wunder-
ground chamber, I re-
turned via elevator. The
engineer miscalculated
his figures for the shaft
so that the bottom of the
elevator (750 feet deep)
is } inch off,
Iast night I returned
to get a picture(movies)
of the bats. I also got
a picture of a rainbow
and a gathering storm,
I often think
all and wish I
look in upon you,
of you
could
Most Sincerely

da Darnell, Yu can guess the rest,

TO W2AR OR NOT TO WEAR?
NOVEMBER 7, 1940
Second in a series of articles voic-
ing the opinions of Milne students on the
question facing Milne girls, "Should we
wear uniforms or not?"
Two Senior boys present their views
on the subject today.
Robert W. Barden, Editor-in-Chief
of the Crimson and White made the follow-
ing statement; "As a fellow who vould
have to see uniforms, I am very much a-
gainst them, I have prided this school
as a semi-private institution where girls
and boys are free to wear what they
please, I believe the uniforms for girls
are a silly idea and that the wholo
school should not be swayed by the ideas
of some Junior girls."
Robert Austin, President of the Sen-
ior class, expressed this opinion: "I
agree with those who are against uniforms
for girls, I think they destroy some~
thing a girl prides herself on....indiv-
iduality."
SUPPORT THs TRAM!
The basketball season is not far ayo
The first game is to be played at the end
of this month, on November 29. Last year
Milne home games had an exceptionally larg
attendance record, but it is the avay
games that lack support, These games are
just as important as the others, but the
student body will not support them as
heavily,
Your team needs your support at all
times, regardless if they're playing in
Page court or in some other school's
gym,
To show your support toward the Red
Raiders, make arrangements right now vith
your crowd to attend the opening game at
Roeliff Jansen High School.
CONGRATULATIONS!
From the Presidential Panel discus-
sion, which took place on Monday morning,
it was evident that the students of
Milne high school respect the opinions
and policies of others, It was also
evident that they conducted themselves
most favorably and controlled their em—
otions while hearing speakers with whom
they did not agree.
The majority of the student body conm-
plied with the wished of the faculty a-
gainst any boistrous demonstrations with
the exception of a few individuals vho
were not able to exercise a necessary
amount of self control,
We of the Crimson and White congrat-
ulate the. Student body as a whole, for it
fine behavior at a time when it was ex~
tremely difficult to control emotions,

Barden brovght Catherine Morrison,
Jessie Doran came with Art Phinney, and
of course, Jerry Levitz and Nancy Eoch-
strasser wero there, (Did you see that
Sigma nin Jerry is sporting these days?)
Marie Tdwards also had a party, and
those old stand-bys, Marion iulvey and
Dick Lawyer wero there, This party was
interrupted for a few minutes by the
Appearance of some of the junior

Other people, not quite so active,
enjoyed a ood movie, and some were
lucky enough to attend dances,

iors gave o har=ride as they did last
