THE LONG sND THE SHORT OF IT
Who are the tallest and the shortest
students in Junior High School? There
has been much discussion on this, and
it never has really been proved. Last
year, Helen Sweetser was the tallest;
oh, pardon me, I mean the shortest, pupil
in Junior High, but with all these little
seventh graders coming to Milne, Helen
has some competition. How about Harriet
Richter or Lois Blessing? Why not meas
ure them some day and see if they beat
Hele n?
Now for the tallest person in Junior
High. I've walked the halls and peeked
into rooms to see if I could find the
tallest. At last, I have come to a
decision. I think that Robert Mapes is
"it", but Stanley Manton is a close,sec-
ond. Which one is it, boys?
isn't {t queer how the shortest are
#irls and the tallest boys? But there
are some short boys and tall girls.
Well, figure it out for yourself,

SPORTS IN MILNE

School are different from those in
other schools. With two gymnasiums,
more practice can be obtained and,
as a result, the Milne gymnasium
classes are more advanced in sports
than other schools are.
Milne will have an opportunity to
show what it has done in sports in
the Carnival held in March. This is
going to be the big sporting event
for this season.
Coach Baker said that he apprecia-
ted the cooperations of the boys of
the Junior High School. They have
given him the support that is needed
to conduct a good gymnasium class.
