NEW LIBRARY MURAL PAINTED
BY ARTIST DAVID LITHGOW;
MILNE ART ON EXHIBITION
A new mural by David Lithgow has
been put up in the library. It depicts
a violent anti-rent protest. The builds
ing represented in the mral is the Van
Rensselaer mansion, formerly located be-
tween Albany and Troy, which has been
removed to Williamstown, where it is now
serving as a fraternity houses In the
picture there are hens’ eggs, wood,
wool, and a lame hen, which represent
the toll exacted upon the farmers of the
region by the wealthy landowners, the
Dutch patroons.
There is also an exhibit in the
John Mistletoe Book Shop on Lark Street
of the originals of the murals.
In the showcases just cutside the
library are some charcoal drawings by
Bnily Buchaca, Jane Weir, Doris Shultes,
Sally Ryan, and Leslie Sipperly, done as
a part of the art course.

CONCERNING aPPO INTMENTS
|
November 8, 1935 |
i
Dear Faculty of Milne High School; H
|
I am speaking not only for myself |
but for many members of the school in
this letter. It concerns a little thing}
which you might do and seve both us and
yourselves a lot of trouble.
That thing is to make out a sched-
ule of your free hours when pupils could
come and see you. I know that you do not
like us to keep bothering you when you
are in conference, but sometimes it is
necessary for us to see youe If we knew
when you would be free, a lot of confus-
ion would be avoided. We would not have
to wait around haif the afternoon waite
ing to get an appointment.
I do not mean to say that we do not
get appointments, because we do. But if
a schedule could be posted telling your
free hours, you would know when to ex-
pect us and we would know when to go to
see yOUs
I know many of my friends when they
have been in a hurry and had to see one
of you, have had to wait fa almost an
hour at times when the matter is not
worth that much time. I am sure that all
the pupils would appreciate this if you
could and would do it.
Sincerely yours,
John F,. Winne
CONGRATULATIONS, CASTLETONS
We see by the Knickerbocker Press
jof November 2, that Castleton estab-
lished some sort of a record last Hallo-
weten. Nothing was misplaced, no wind=
ows were soaped, nothing was damaged,
and, infact, everything was as it
should bee
Congratulations are in order for
the school, Miss Marjorie Miller, presia
dent of the student body, and Mr. Robert
Shillinglow, principal, for the fine
work they did in creating this record.
Congratulations are also due the villag
for having such a publiceménded citizen
as Mr. Shillinglaw.
Would this condition were also ir
Albany! However, it does not seem tha’
the children do no harm.
trery, they seem to do more damage ean
yeare The annual Hallowe'en party eac>
year takes most of the younger people
off the streets and leaves them free fo
the older gangs to operate. At least,
thet seems to be the result. Policer
men cénnot stop this rowdyism; if is the
person himself who mst stop. If only
we had some one in Albany like Mro Shil-
linglaw, who could think of some xemedy
for this probleme
However, time will tell for this
great annual worry of all with windows
or moveable property. And until then, we
offer our most hearty congratulations to
Castleton and her inhabitants.
