HaVE YOU TaLENT?
Shades of Daniel Webster, the greut
Calpoun, Huey Long, or what have you?
That's the question, Milnites, what
have you ------- in the line of oratory?
Once more comes the time when the
faculty cre discussing the proposition of
prize-speaking in Milne Junior High.
There are few things which are as valuable
to you in after life as an ability to ex-
press yourself in good English and with
poise and fino delivery. If you learn
this in school, it will help you all
through your business and personal con-
tacts. So, we have prize-speaking in
Milne. Often it seems too much troublé
to prepare a piece or talk, but think of
the reward! Although we shrink from the
thought, it is one of the things which
all schools should have to fit its stu-
dents for future life. If we have prize-
speaking this year, let's take it serious
ly» It will alw.ys be a benefit to you.
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
De you wish tc read a good book?
What's the matter with “fhe Count of
Mente Cristo?" This interesting book
was written by Dumas. The picture was
chee dramatized in the "movies." It
takes a long time to rend, but when you
finish, you'll affirm the opinion that it
is worth all the time you spent on it.
The book contains adventure, romance, mys-
tery, and real life, Read the story of .}
Edmund Dantes who through no fault of his
own, was imprisoned in a dungeon for four-|
teen long years. Through some clever
tricks he managed to escape and lived for
the purpose of gaining revenge from the

We girls cffer the following re&sons

3. The uniforms give a much neater
and more orderly appearance,

5. So far the majority of the girls
strongly favor the propcsed plan.
I think these points plainly indicate

operation in the promotion of this mattor.
Very truly yours,
