Milne, His aim for years
was that the Milne li-+

brought it froma small

Dear Milnites,
The Bricks and Ivy magazine staff
has chosen a theme which seems part-
iculary significant at the present time-
"World Friendship",
We in school cannot think of our-
selves as ina private little world,
immune to the hostilities of the universe.
Doesn't youth have something to say about
this question of race prejudice and war?
The magazine will try to sho: how basic~
ally alike young people in ali lands are,
Have we been guilty in the recent
rush of events of misunderstanding, per~
haps hating, the inhabitants of another
land? Have we forgotten that they, too,
have interests common to ours? ~t the
German boys and girls have school dances
that mean quite as much to them as our
QTSA does to us?-and that tho French,
English, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish
young folk cheer quite as lustily at
théir sports as we do,
You undoubtedly have your own ideas
on this widely-discussed subject of
World Friendship, The staff would like
to be able to publish your written opin-
ions in the literary issue of the Bricks
and Ivy, but if you would prefer to use
another subject for your essay, story, or
poem, that, too, will be welcome, This
is your meeae ines we want you to like it!
Sincerely,
Gan Dilys
Heigh-ho! Come one! Come all!
Place your bet on a winning book at
Best-Seller Derby of Milne's Book Fair,
This year's Seniors think that the good
old days are perhaps best after all,
because they are planning an old~fashioned
county fair, There will be fun for the
whole family, from the ferris wheel of
the well-rounded reading program to the
livestock exhibits. Girls, win a prize
with your recipes for spending leisure
time; boys, t out the new inventions
which you don't have to buy, Christmas
isn't so far away, Bring Mother to pick
out books for the family this year.
(Thanks to Miss Brown, head of the Book
Fair, for the above editorial,-Dd.)
