DO WE LACK SPIRIT?
“More school spirit, more school spirit!” seems to be
the universal cry at Milne these days. But does any-
‘one ever stop to consider the fact that we already
possess a very special kind of school spirit?
Our kind of school spirit is the force which brings
so many alumni back to our halls every year. Our
spirit, our unity, is expressed by the fact that you
recognize and know (or could know) so many of your
fellow students. Our it is evident in the friendly
greetings and many ideas exchanged by faculty and
students both in and out of class, by our own tradi-
tions and customs, by our freedom and opportunity
at Milne,
Remember, school spirit isn’t measured only by such
things as the number of spectators at a basketball
game. It is a human factor which is expressed in as
many ways as there are people to express it.
Once we realize just how much we have and take
the proper amount of pride in it, the more obvious
signs of our school spirit will certainly improve.
—Jean Verlaney
A CASE FOR THE COUNCIL
The unwillingness of students to cooperate with the
student council is causing deep concern among council
members. This is most apparent when the council
representative gives his weekly homeroom report and
is met with apathy and indifference. Representative
government everywhere depends upon the consent and
support of the governed. From the homerooms should
come the majority of our problems and ideas for
solving them. Possibly the reason for the lack of
support for the Charity pool held recently was that
it was not considered a good idea. But how can the
council know what the student opinion is unless the
representative is instructed by his homeroom?
We in Milne do not realize how fortunate we are to
have a student council with the responsibility and
status of ours. If you had the privilege of attending
an A.S.C.C.D. meeting, you would be amazed at the
number of area student councils which are nothing
more than dance-planning committees and whose
officers are not even elected by the student body. At
present, a nearby school is trying to strengthen its
student government by using your council for a model.
In the near future our council will be tackling the
major problem of the year, which should be of vital
concern to you all: the annual student budget, It is
important that this budget reflect the opinions of all
the students, for your student council will only remain
strong as long as it is truly representative.

Conform or
Be Different?
By KATIE SIMMONS
As I was sitting here tonight try-
ing to think of something to write,
I suddenly had a_brainstorm—why
not be different this time and not
write a colum
Needless to say, this went over
like a lead balloon with our patient
but hardworking editor. Neverthe-
less, the idea provided me with the
key word—different. Everyone is
killing himself to be different.
To be a true nonconformist, how:
ever, one must do everything diffe
ent, not just one thing,
Take the way we dress, for in:
stance: khakis, crewnecks and sport
shirts for the boys and_ skirts,
blouses and’ crewnecks for the girls.
Now is the time when our would-
be nonconformist is really put to
the test. How many boys would
have the nerve to come to school in
Bermuda shorts, a turtleneck sweat-
er and sneakers? Not many, I'll
tell you.
Collegians in Rut
In some Eastern colleges, groups
of people who think they are non-
conformists race around in black
stockings, flats and huge, droopy
earrings, their hair in buns. You'll
notice, though, that they are always
surrounded by hundreds of other
people wearing black stockings, flats

hair in buns.
Ah, perk up; I know just the place

school!
Think of the joy you could get
out of running up the “down” stairs
or going into the senior room when
you're only a seventh grader. Some-
one might even break the ice and
go over to Ed’s before he was in
tenth grade. Or, if he were really
serious about this idea of being un-
usual, he might not go to school at
all.
At home there are unlimited pos-
sibilities. Remember that desk you
could swear you had in your room?
Well, you could try picking up the
clothes, books and cigarette butts
that are strewn all over the place,
and you might find a place to study.

Mike’s, Sinatra, Peanuts, accidents
in chem lab, poetry, New York city,
and No-Doze.
Her dislikes include getting up in
the morning, Liberace, solid geome-
try, nicknames, wishy-washy people,
people who steal things from the

rubbish out in the courtyard.
Over the summer, Di hopes to
earn a bit of spending money and
possibly to make her yearly trip to
the mountains with her family.

in biology.
