PHOF. SAYLES DESCRIBES THREE
DUTIES OF PUPIL TO COMMUNITY
We have three obligations to
the welfaze of the community in which
we live,” said Prof. John Me Sayles
inan address before the Senior High
School assembly last Wednesday at eleve
en oftclock. "The first, ir. Sayles
went on to say, "is our duty to our-
selves, the necessity of becoming
something, some aid to society."
The second one brought out,lay in
one's attitude to onets fellowmen.
This was illustrated by reference to the
the selfishness of some people while
attending opera, who, although not
interested themselves, Meep others
from enjoying the entertainment.
The third and last obligation as
expressed by Mre Sayles is the spir-
itual duty of everyone to the commun-
ity in upholding itsmoral standards,
4S Eploined by Mr. Scyles, this is one
of our most impbrti.nt obligations in
school life, namely to determine,
ourselves, what we want our school
to stand foro

SENIOR PRIVELEGHS
Very recently, when the Stud-
ent Council endeavored to learn the
reason for the lack of spirit in
Milne, a certain Senior ventured to
say that Milne students had little to
look forward to in their high school
work. He went on to say that in our
school 4 Senior, after having spent
numerous years of study here, was
still the same as any other student and
was forced to abide by the same strict
rules as all others.
AS a result of this little speech,
much comment has been passed con-
cerning the exemption of the "digni-
fied" Senior from certain binding
rules imposed by the faculty. The
matter was taken back to all the home-
rooms through the Student Council and,
much to the surprise of those who lead
the movement, little opposition was
encountered. It wes indeed gratify-
ing to see that the other students
had the foresi,ht to understand that
such exemptions as are asked by the
present Senior class and Student
Council would vitally affect them in
the future, and it is evident that all
students realize that this movement
was begun with the most unselfich in-
tentions.
(Continued in next column)
[Vol If Number lo, P+ ay
Now that the student body is
comparatively well convinced of the
advisability of such exemptions, it
is necessary to formulate our requests
in such 4 way that they will not seem
either obnoxious nor too drastic to the
faculty. ‘he Council has been at odds
as to the extent of its requests;
however, there has been one definite
proposal decided upon, namely that
all Seniors be exempted from the
permit system. In addition, it is
hoped that several other propositions
will be accepted, including certain
exemptions from study pericds for
those students who have kept their
averages well above passing.
As yet, the plans have not been
drawn up sufficiently well to present
to the faculty. However, it is felt
that those requests which will be made
will hot be so rash that the faculty
will be unable to comply with them, for
almost every demand will be patterned
after the systems in vogue in many
other schools, Eut both the student
body and the faculty may be assured
that when the final plans are drafted,
they will all have been designed to
achieve the end in view, that of
raising the status of the Senior above
the rest of the school, and of giving
other students something material to
look forward to during their high
school course.
