PaY YOUR FARE IN MILNE
In the time-honored Walter Winch-
ell style, may this editorial colum
present a wordy orchid to Prof. John M
Sayles for his very praiseworthy speech
of welcome to the Milne students. Prof.
Sayles’ metaphor, “pay your way" is so
apt that even an editorial writer could
not misinterpret it.
Let's apply that sentiment "pay
your fare as you go" to a situation
right in our own back yard. We, and I
mean here we students,
g00d deal from Milne. Not only are we
receiving an education anda thorough
preparation for college, but the school
is giving us 4 greet deal more from the
cultural standpoint. Contact with others
in work @nd social atrairs develops us
morally «nd spiritually, ound also pro-
vides an enormous umount of fun. Yet-,
what do we do for Milne? Dontt we owe

Let's make it a point to “pay our

HI, MILNITES!!
Not quite two weeks ago, oapprox-
imately 450 hungry (for the old routine)
and savage (with joy .t seeing their
friends ) students stormed the portals
of Milne in their annual quest for tcc-
demic learning. The hulls, which during
the summer hod heard only the more sé~-
date whispers of the State College sum-
mer people, echoed und reechoed with
the laughter and chatter of the sager
horde.
With the opening of school, we
met agein those friends with whom
lust year we studied or played and
pussed or flunked fas the case may be).
We met again the people whose friendship
und companionship make all the difter-
ence in the world between o happy life
and & mere existence.
And then we made the acquaintance,
a trifle hesitantly, perheps, of those
who, «uS teachers, will enable us to
live our lives even more fully--to cre-
ate something worthwhile out of them.
Finally, we greeted, some of us
for the first time, the supervisors or
critics; those grand emblems of stabil.
ity and encourcgement who make the reop~
ening of school seem tlmost a home.
