THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
CLASS POEM OF 1924
Today h en accomplished an ideal
Which for four years we've held before our eye
‘The worthy aim of every longing dream,
From dusty lowlands we have journeyed here,
Many comrades loved of us are lost,
Overwhelmed by toil and weary care
Only those with glowing, courageous hea
This land of promised dreams, success, have gained.
But, come, we'll drain our cup of happiness
And revel under fortune’s kindly smile
Our band, the whole wide world salutes with joy.
Adventure calls from every hidden side.
Fl'ng to the wind your mantles
ained with travel;
Bid the spirit of joy bring garments white;
And loek within your heart this glorious hour,
For on this summit we'll not stand again,
But in the midst of riotous, reckless mirth
Our thoughts speak soberly of things worth while.
The cumberous rocks that barred our steep ascent,
As we look back, like golden milestones gleam.
We say goodbye to comrades we have known
And dread the thought of going forth alone,
For now our only guides experience give
As we go out to learn the lessons of life,
Oh, that we could see ahead with fate,
And know the power of keeping on this height,
The mecting of accomplishment and hope.
But lift your eyes, a voice is heard to say,
The way of triumphs is to climb on up
Kor there will always be a steep ascent.
And look, just o’er the er of the next high peak
Is flitting our ideal, way ahead.
This one easy slope that we have reached today
Is only a stepping stone to greater things.

CLASS HISTORY
The class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four is on the hame-
stretch. There have been times of course, when we might have held
our place more successfully, or when, with a bit more headwork, a
hetter race could have been run, but frankly speak ng, though we
have made a lot of ‘blots,
it could have been much worse, We do
not wish to pose as the ‘Sonly ones’? whom the school would have
perished without, but we shall let our record in the past four years
speak for us and, thus, without self) , be content,
Seventy-nine hopefuls entered Room 802 that fall, nearly four
years ago. Vifty-seven have left our ranks. Our depleted numbers
have, fortunately, been well ve-inforeed—by Wilbur and ** Bill’

northern Ontario, and by our intellectual Stevens from the ‘land of
cotton.” In ow junior ye

nio:
And now we are s ! It hardly seems possible that our class
numerals are the low in the school. It has been hard to get
accustomed to the new numerals each succeeding class has brought
with it, and especially has it been so with the last.
What have we done for old Milne during our life here? Will
our record shine forth in the future to make our school proud or
will it be obscure and worthless? We think that we have conscien-
tiously tried to live up to all our obligations and perform well our
duties devolying on us both collectively and individually.
Have we not lent liberally to the girl’s basketball and baseball
t-ams of our greatest talent, that of ‘‘ Bob” and ** Peggy’ and, thus,
brought about many victories for Milne?
Have not also the boys’ athletics had a successful year under
“Eyvy’? Long of ‘24 with ‘‘Gipy,’’ Werner, Wilbur and Vander
Horst on the team?
The Student Couneil under Lois’ guiding hand has, despite
much opposition, finally succeeded in firmly establishing the Deface-
ment Act (having to do with the punishment inflicted for era
throwing and general d ement of the building), which we fer-
vently hope will be carried out by the sueceeding classes.
The Crimson and White Board with Mary as editor this year
is conscientiously following the precedent set by last year’s class in
putting out an excellent year book.
We may also say truthfully that the Dramatics and French
elubs are of our making for, although the Dramatics elub was organ-
ized in our junior year, it the class of 1924 that reorganized and
kept it flourishing, through Frances, Lenore and Peggy, throughout
their senior year. Also the French club, through Miss Martinez’s
endeavors, was started this year with Frances at the helm,
Nor have we entirely devoted ourselve sieal or social
to the phy
side, but have had a good record in the classroom.
Were there nothing else to commend us, we ought surely to re-
ceive just praise for our generous amount of school spirit. It really
began in our freshman year when, not wishing to be outdone by our
upper classmen, we tried to take an active part, even though fresh-
men, in all school affairs, But, being rightly controlled, most of our
aequired class enthusi melted away into a feeling of mutual
helpfulness to our dear school. Always have we responded cheer-
fully to all ealls on our time and money. We do not wish our fellow-
18 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
students to forget that we intend, so far as is possible, to keep our
record bright after we have left Milne.
And, now, in this, our last record of our life here, we des
extend our most heart-felt appreciation to our principal and faculty
for their kind cooperation and encouragement and to pay a fond
farewell tribute to our Alma Mater:

programs of exceptional merit were given before the society,

We had the pleasure of having Mr, Edward Brandow t the society.

taken into Adelphoi, Others are expecting to join the first of next

The French Club is justly proud of the progress made during
the year, It was organized in November by the French department
and students studying Freneh.
Although it is one of the more recent organizations, yet it has
taken a leading place among the clubs of Milne high. As a result
competition, many. inte
of inter-clas ing and highly instructive
meetings have been held, for each class
strove to have the best
meeting.
The proceeds from the sale of candy has been put to a good use.
Besides buying a bulletin board, a complete set of phonograph ree-
ords to be used in the instruction of French has been purchased. To
help the students, the French Club has also bought a French-English
dictionary,

The Student Council has had a rather tempestuous time this
year, but it seems to have come through it successfully. Thanks to
our able president more has been accomplished than last year. The
Council has appropriated more money for the “Crimson and White,”
given 4100 for a boys’ athletic coae
school, At a meeting in Chapel June 6 the old officers gave up their

The first day, being Sunday, the celebration consisted mostly
of services in the churches. Somehow or other, the city gayly

of being “all dressed up and no where to go.’’ However the nest
this was amply remedied. The guests watched some rather

viewed an historieal pageant in Washington Park. I’ve been told
it was a very good pageant. The nearest I came to seeing it was
to view one of m

that he should appear braver, I resolved to accompany him, although
my heart was even then choking my throat. After much persua-

entrance to this den.
A flight of stone steps descended almost vertically downward
into the bowels of the earth. We could not see the bottom, If I had
had my way we should never have descended those steps, but John
boldly started down, and I followed, fearful and hesitating. We
reached the bottom in safety, and John pushed backward the wooden
door. We were struck in the face by the dank, mus
repelling air
of the cave. Inside was a fearful darkness, Waiting a moment to
gasp some fresh air, we stepped over the threshold. Horrors! !
What a noise ov rather what noises! It seemed as if something were
shattering the air with shrill whistles, hoarse squalls and yells. We
stood like granite statues fastened to the ground. My hair stood
traight up and tried hard to get away. Moreover the dreadful
noise came from directly ahead and above me, TE struck a mateh and

The others laughed at this girl, although they admitted that such

The little fellow who held the sword stayed until the last sol-

Although a year has gone by, there are still many memories that
stand out cle in my mind. I remember the day that ‘Swede’
McKeon, feeling in the mood of a plumber, playfully unserewed the
steam valve of the radiator in study hall at a very unpsychological
moment and nearly flooded the whole room. The eyent was unpsy-
chological because Prof. Sayles was standing in the doorway at the
moment of the disaster. Mr, Sayles took the calamity rather humor-
ously, and told **Junior’’ that he had better get the mop. ‘‘Swede"*
made a sheepish departure, and when he returned, proved himself
a better floor cleaner than a plumber, I also remember the day last
year when Bill McDonough, after a suggestion from the geometry
teacher that he join a vaudeville act, astounded his fellow classmates
by announcing that his ambition was to drive a street car, Bill
should be a scientist and investigate the old problem of Dix Colbert,
