"No student body has ever attempted to finance
such a comprehensive series of paintings as you
Milne studcats aire now doing," stated Mr, David Lith.
gow last Tuesday. He is the artist who paints the
murals for Milne library, The occasion was an
informal interview with two representatives of the
Grimson and White in Mr. lithgow's workshop at
91 State Street. "It is no small task," he contimed
decidely Scotch accent, ‘for a group of
in his
young people to support one$300 mural a year," Read~
justing his black-ribboned nose glasses the distin~
guished little gentleman went on, "Just think; you
have paid out $2100 in the last 8 years, Such a
venture should certainly elicit a measure of praise
and should be appreciated by the student body,"
The annual card party which will take place one
week from today, will furnish part of the funds for
the yearly enterprise of adding a mral to the Milne
‘brary.
When this project was suggested in 1931 by Dr.
Sayles, then principal of Milne, the Leather Stock.
ing Tales wefe to be the basis for each mural,
Consequently, Mr. Lithgow first painted a scene from
Cooper's The Iast of the Mohicans, Since that time
however, the theme has been changed and he has painted
scenes of historical Albany. The last,'The Courtship
of Betsy Schuyler,"was placed on the wall by Mr. Lith-
gow himself last fall, This year's card party wilB
help s eoboEe a mural of the'Anti-Rat(ification) Wai"
in old 4lbany, The entire north wall will be devo~
ted to the skyline of modern Albany.
Bach mral is historically accurate, "It's one
thing to read of old Albany for pleasure", Mr, Lith
gow stated, "but it's a different thing to determine
the exact style of a street lamp in the 17th century.
That takes weeks of research in archeological works
very difficult to obtain,"
In 1906 Mr, Lithgow was commissioned to arrange
a@ group of Indian Life studiés for the State Hducay
tional Department. In an effort, for accuracy's
sake, to penetrate into the Indian race as it was
hefore the white man changed it; he spent nine years
living with the Iroquois Indians.
To realize something of the magnitude of painting
a historical mural, one mst consider that it takes
about two weeks to draw a sketch, and a month or six
weeks for the final enlargement, A small- studio on
the shores of lake George furnishes a retreat for
the artist in summer months,

Mr. John A, Murray
Has your organizntion, society, or
club voted to contribute financially to
tho Milno fiftieth anniversary talking
picturo? Are you doing your best to pro-
mote enthusiasm in such an enterprise?
The Student Council is asking for
$225 to cover the cost of the picture,
which will consist of posed shots typical
of the varied activities of school life
in Milne, A professional photographer,
probably a representative of the Albany
Camera Shop, will do the photographing
in the near future,
The film, thirty minutes in length,
will be completed by graduation time,
and Milne students will have an oppor-
tunity to see it this year, Officials
of the school will circulate the film
about the country to tell the inside
story of life in a model school,
Every ton years experts will make a
similar film, Bach year a definite sum
will be laid aside in the budget for the
project, so that such a large amount
will never again be demanded at one time.
Won't you contribute as generously as
possible?

"LOSE ANY THING 7
Did you ever lose any of your bee
longings around Milne? Where did you
start looking in your tiresome search?
There is a place where you should have
gone first, and that is the "Lost and
Found" drawer in the Office. This drawer
is in one of the filing cabinets and has
been set aside for that purpose of having
a placo for lost articles, Its contents
are amazing,for it has everything from
text books to wire puzzles, The number
of pens and pencils is a sight you would
not think of seeing otttside of a dime
store,and it is a wonder that students
don't go in and claim their writing
tools. Miss Fillingham also has a col~
lection , but hers is made up of cake
pans that some people's mothers would
like to have back after giving cakos for
the tea of the Book Fair,
CONFUCIUS SAY: He who returns lost
property gets roturns, Trans#ated into
English it means that a person who makes
an effort to return lost articles will
be rewarded by having his loss returned,
