| MILNE. o- OUTING | CLUB,
Dear fellow students,
I have always been interested in

terton, also liked camping and suggested
that I form a club. I found several
other fellows, who liked the idea, and
together wo organized tho "Outing Club",
We first met last Friday afternoon
with our sponsor Mr. Connors during club
period and olected the following
officers; mysolf, president; David Mack,
secretary-treasurer; and Robert ‘aylor,
in charge of the scrapbook the club
plans to kcop. Our aim is to help people
vecoma erested in the great outdoors.
We hope to accomplish % through club
eis ms and perhaps an assembly
progran.
Tho uombers of the club are: David
Mack, Rebert Rinn, Lawso.ce Mapes, John
Wilson, Robort Taylor nlliam Wiley,
Robert Bardon, Arthur 3 ney, and David

PRESS CONVERSION
This year, the Press Convention
will be held in New York, as usual, for
a period of a few days. Those people
who wish to go, it might be interesting
to note, must leave at 2:30 on March 13,
The convention lasts thru the 16th,
Some people who went last year are
convinced &hat it was a great success,
When a few people were asted what they
thought of last year's convention, here
are the replies ther gave,
Estelle Dilg stated;
"I thought it was grand. We had a
fine timc in Now York last year, Not
only did we hear well-known journalists
speak on newspaper writing, but we were
allowed ample time to see plays and visit
the warious places that were of interest
to us. It's a marvelous experience for
anyone, and if you can possibly attend,
do, by all moans}"
Fred Reagan saids
"The Columbia Scholastic Press Asso-
ciation proved the most interesting and
informative four duys of my high-school
life,"
As you probably know,
one of the feature editors and Reagan is
comeditor, These two have tried to pice
ture the convention to us, and we think
that they did a pretty good job.
Miss Dilg is
WIAT!S THIS?
Sally Devereux, who attended the
Quin-Sigma a few weeks ago with tall,
light,and handsome Art Bates had a swell
time, Guess what, kids}! She even could
dance gracefully to the tune, "Oh, Johnny
Oh!"
Martin Edwards, one of our Junior
boys, came to school recently ina dis-
guise, It seems that he had a patch over
his eye. We know what caused it was box-
ing, but we can!t help but wonder if it
was male or female,
Why, Borden, I'm surprised at you.
Of all. things---passing notes in English
class!
There's something about a soldier}
Your reporter often wonders why, during
every parade, all the girls seem to wait
patiently until Boys! Academy and 0,.B,A,
pass by, When they do pass finally,
cameras click and many a feminine heart
flutters, Ah--me! . What's a uniform
among friends?
