ALUMNUS WRITES
TO MILNE STUDENTS
Dear Joc and Sosophine,
Hi, all you lucky pco-
ple who have mountains
and hills about your city
and hemes} Oberlin, Ohio
really isn't so far west—
at loast it's a lone way
from the dust bowl--but
such flat country as we
have! The soil that .was
dug up two years ago for
the foundation of our new
swimming pool has beon
dubbed, "Mount Oberlin,"
, and it is truthfully the
highest point of eleva-
tion for miles around,
When some 500 of us
freshmen, 350 9f the Col-
lege and 150 of the Con-
servatory, arrived here
the middle of September,
wo were completely bewild-
ered, Wo came from ovory
part of the obe, China,
Hawaii, South America,
Holland, Germany, Canada,
Switzerland, and from 30
of our 48 stat Grad-
ually we havo Gome to
fecl as one and bdelicve
that such a grand cxper-
ienco of international
goodwill is a significant
fact in the midst of pre-
sent world conditions.
I live in eo dormitoryy
of 75 girls, Sirfea evory
freshman dining hall is
coeducational, 75 hungry
boys, including Gilbert
Dancy, who lives at Root
Housc, comes trooping in
every mealtine to cat
fith-us, ‘We kave ¢hassos
six days a week, and I'm
glad mince are mnéstly in
the morning, even though
thoy do start at cight
olclock covery day.
Wo certainly have to
work like Trojans for
grades. In spito of it
all, we are having tho
time cf our lives! I
have joined the freshman
pep squad which leads tho
cheers for Oberlin foot-
ball gemes, Yours truly
was clocted fire chicf
for May Cottage!

They say that when some Milnites gct on
the bus they throw books, yell to others
on the bus and somctimos even take off
people's hats, Thoso are accidents of
course, but arc thoy? Do you do these
things on purpose? Please don't if you
do, Dr, Fredrick gots tho blame.
Let's try to koop Milne boys! and
girls! names out of face ce incidents on

too, Don't over hang on the back of

cidents can occur from this,

to the ones who don't know, the Freshman
class are trying to got Freshman caps.
These will bo small maroon caps with a

ion started by tho class of '44,
If you would like to comment or if
you do not like the idea, notes or
lotters may be written to the oditors,

HOW ROMANCES START AND END!
He turns and looks at the girl, She
blushes and turns away, After class he
walks down the hall with her, In the next
class he tries to talk to her from ae
cross the room; this does not worl so
well, He writes her a note, He secures
a rubber band and shoots it across the
room, She picks it up and reads it, In re
turn she shoots a note to him, The teach~
er catches him and sends him down to
the office. He is very mad because of
this and he realizes what a dope hels
been, Girls always get you in trouble any-
way. As the classes go on he and she coo
at each other, This is very disgusting
to other people who are listening. In
order to stop this, the class makes fun
of them, This discourages thom. for a
little while, but soon you see them walk-
ing down the hall together, Once ina
while the boy carries the books for her.
After a fey days the whole affair is
forgotten,
