BANKING IN MILNE
The question of banking in school
is our present problem. So far two
homerooms have decided to bank in school,
We believe that more homerooms should
take advantage of this opportunity.
The convenience of banking at
school is a big point to be considered,
Ordinarily, high school pupils do their
banking at irregular intervals, if at cll.
If they did their benking at school,
they would have a definite time each
week (Wednesday) when they could put
into practice the principles of thrift.
MILNE HIGH REPRESENT..T IVES

HOMEWORK
Why do homework?
It's so much bother.
You never do it;
It's clways your father.
When father's not h.me,
You go to your mom.
She cantt help you;
She has work to be done.
So, you bring to school
a fibbing excuse
That you hed to go out
-Or your tooth was loose,
The way it should be.
You should do homework.
t's not much bother,
Takes little of time
With no help from fr.ther.
When fether's not home,
Don't go to your mom
"Cause she cun't help you;
She hes work to be done.
So you bring to school
Your homework <£11 done,
Your troubles cll over,
Your cares cll won.

One day lust winter when I wus

ewful crosh! I rushed to the window
of my jreen und pink spotted room und
sow the troublet 4 rubber tree hid
fillen ucross the drive-wey. No die
mige wos done <s it bounced right
back into position .guine Then I sw
the trouble! a filling snow fluke hed
hit it.
Thet night when I went to bed the
snow piled up four or tive feet deep.
Th..t next morning I wos owoken-
ed when I herd :. loud "Crish’! Slem}!
Bang!" I. locked «round me anw then
I s.w whet h.ppened! I h.d -.coident-
ly set ofr “Little Joe", my vlirm
clock. I shut it off ind got dressed.
When [ got down stcirs I looked
out of the kitchen window und to my
surprise I couldn't see thing! I
c:lled the butler ind my friends, but
they were no better off than I.
I went over to the window ..nd
felt cround ond whut do you think?
The shede was down!
I looked out the window ..nd s.w
that the snow wis cbout ten feet high
uround the "shi.ck", but «11 the snow
WS ubout six feet ow.y from the
“shock”, le. ving .. sort of moc.t, and
even flowers were growing in it. I
looked “round cnd s.w the ciuse or it!
The cook hod left the 112+ fron burn-
ing cnd it h.d melted ..11 the snow.

of the snow so I run to my room end
