IS IT SPRING FEVER?
Dra Fredericks wishes to announce
that the pupils should have all their fun
outside of school. The halls are a place
to pass through and there is no reason
why they should be used for fooling. There!
is plenty of time after school for play-
ing and visiting. Pupils going from one
class to another should not waste time
in passing, but go direct to the clusses.
If these things were observed, the school
would not be in such confusion between
classes. Pupils are also asked to go
directly home after school.

Seymour and a group of her friends. The

think more carefully about it. According
to public opinion, the majority of the
boys are against the proposal.
Boys’ sports was also an important
issue brought before the council. The
vote for it was unanimous. Beth the

GOOD OLD FOUNTAIN MUSIC
You may judge for yourself by the
crowd of eager students around the drink-
ing fountains every day that wcter is an
essential thing with Milnites as it is
with every race of people. However, from
the way most of the students seem to take
it, it is a matter of the lecst importance
if the gum is purposely or accidentally
deposited in the fountain. But when we
find it filled with gum it's an entirely
different story. Just a bit of advice
to gum-chewers in Milne; "Gum will get
you into less trouble and therefore give
you more enjoyment if you will be care-
ful where you dispose of it."
Please don't place it carefully over
the spout of the drinking fountain or
precisely in the middle of a classmatets
chair, Just remember that if you don't
mind gum in the fountains, other people
do, Try to preserve our "good Wid foun-
tain music."
CHARACTER SKETOH
This week, after carefully looking
over the two hundred and some junior high
students, I have finally picked a ninth
grade girl. Ske giggles at the slightest
opportunity. She is quite popular at the
beginning of the year when everyone ‘ has
new books he would like to preserve.
If you guess this, do the usual
thing, (Tell one of the editors who you
think it is.) Last week's chseracter
sketch was of Jean Tarschus, The winner

UNIFORMS FOR THE GIRLS
The newest controversy that hns a»

to hinder the promotion of the plan.

4& GOOD BOOK TO READ
Have you read "Katrinka" by Huskel:
This book is the story of a little Rus.-
sian girl whose father and mother were
sent to Siberia for trying to teach the
three Rts. Katrinka finally, after much
effort, succeeds in winning liberty for
them. You will enjoy this story about
the little peasant girl who climbed the
of fame to become one of
the Emperor’s own dancers. This dook¢
which may be found in the Milne library,
will broaden your knowledge of *Russi.ne,
