Everyone of us are proud of the
fifth graders banking. They are all
so eager to have a hundred per
cent. They are succeeding quite
we'll, by having it quite few times.
After all the new pupils get start
ed in school, we can judge more ac-
curately on perfect attendance.
The pupils are so. numerous in
Miss Garrison's room that they have
to be divided into three classes for
their reading and number lessons.

One More Room Added To
Honor Roll Of Thrifty

The broad smile on Mr.. McGinnes'
face at nine o'clock, on October g.
was put there by the fact that his
loom had just made perfect rec
ord in banking. 1t was the first
time since Mr.. McGinnes has been
here that he has succeeded in hav-
ing one hundred per cent of his
class bank.
In Mrs. Warehouses; room only
three children failed to bank. To
them we can only say eff at first
you don't succeed, try, try again"
That was the motto in Mrs. Mem
esh's room, and now we are just

To Remind You
Of Columbus Day

In 1892, just four hundred and
thirty-eight years ago, as we all
know, Christopher Columbus dis
covered America.
While Dias was making his way
back to Portugal, an Italian mariner
and navigator, an Italian mariner
who had had much experience on
the sea got together three little
ships and undertook journey west
ward to "Zipanju, the land of gold"
which he hoped to reach in few
weeks, and did, for the trio of little
vessels, favored by clear skies and
steady east wind, made the passage
from the Canary Islands to the Ba-
hamas in five weeks.
Thirty-two days from the time he
left Canary Islands he came upon
land, the Island Of San Salvador and
believed himself to be in the West
Indies. Upon landing the trembling
crews together with Columbus kiss
ed the ground and thanked God.
The Island was surrounded with
naked awe-stricken natives, but
Columbus took sole possession of
the shore in the name of Ferdinand
and Isabella, King and Queen of
Spain and called it San Salvador
meaning Holy Saviour"
So on October II, 1892, Christie
foro Colombo. discovered America.
Lets us, the people of the United
States, be more loyal to our coun-
try than we have been, and try to
make it an even better one in the
future than it has ever been in the
past for tn honor of its courageous
founder, Christopher Columbus.

Study Pupils Had Chance
To Hear Series Broadcast
New Plan Avoids Need OF Skipping
School

1t used to be that boys skipped
school to go to baseball games or to
stand around and watch the bulle-
tin boards for the latest scores.
Times have changed, however; and
today the boys couldn't be chased
out of school-at least not during a
world series game. No the boys
haven't changed bit, but the
schools have. Anyone who had been
interested enough in seeing an evil
dence Of this change to tear him-
self away fIcm his radio during the
recent games and wander ont to the
high school would haye decided
that after ali the good old uays"
were not entirely a thing of the
past.
This mythical observer would
have been attracted to the auditor
ium of the building the minute he
entered by the clear voice of the
ra1io announcer. Entering the hall
OIL the ground floor lie would have
se"n probably two hundred boys and
girls sometimes more, sometimes
less sitting as sti'l as Inice and
listening intently. Here and there a
girl ur hoy bent over an open book
with pencil and papet before him
and a desperate expression of haste
on his face. The haste was to hurry
the Worl; in hand, Sc that he might
concentrate on the game.
No pupils were forced to listen to
the be 2dcast. but st'anEe as ii
may seem all study halls were eva
cuated in favor of the auditorium.
Glasses continued of course, and no
one cut class either lest his misde-
meanor deprive the rest of the
school of the chance of listening III.

More Than -Four Hundred
Books Read First Month
Rapid Growth OF library This year

Last year during the month oi
September, three hundred and thir-
ty-3even books were circulated
through our High School library
Of this number one hundred and
two books were brought from the
Free Public Library. This year nc
roo ks are being brought from the
Public Library, but on Monday, Sep
tember %, travelling library Oi
twenty-seven books were received
from Dover. These are already prov
ing very valuable. Twenty of them
have been taken out end some OF
tl.tln twice.
This first school month four hun
dred and twenty-One books have
been circulated, including the ones
from the travelling library. This is
an increase over last year Of eighty
four, or an increase of books from
the School Library of ons hundred
and eighty-six. OF the number bor-
rowed this month, ono hundred and
thirty-five are non-fiction.
One period on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, the library is visited by
the Sixth Grade. The librarian
seems to have difficulty in finding
reading material for them. She
hopes that later she may have more
books to give them.

Youngest Pupils At High
School Thriftier Than
Older Students

Last week Mrs. Derrickson's sec
ton of the sixth grade were proud
to boast 1OO&6 in banking. This sec
tion is classed neither as part of
junior high nor as one of the gram
mar grades. In other words it is
similar to an orphan or lost sheep
out at the new school. However,
this section is proving itself to be
very thrifty and we believe that
Mrs. Nemish will have competition
in perfect banking. Keep it up,
sixth graders? We're for you.

glad returning.
You're the pride of Milford High.
CHORUS
Just watch our men so big and ac-

With winning hopes we fear defeat

To see our team plow through the

Determined now to win or die
So give a He-Kie,-Ho-kie, HO-kie,
Hi; Rae Ri old Milford High.
Still another is to the tune of the

With a step that is steady and
strong
The Milford team march along.
True to the coloTs they bear
To the Blue and White go fair;
Embalmed in a true Fellowship
That the days and the years cannot
sever
United in friendship we stand
For Milford High, for Milford High

Is everybody ready? Well, then

NeIU Songs To
Sing For Milford

the home team takes the field than
to cheer them on with song or in
fact several songs. And what is
better exercise for those who watch

that the high school students have
been learning. If you don't know
them. now's your chance. Cut them
out for your own private use at the
next football or basketball game.
The first one is to the tune of Tip

It's a good thing to be from Milford

Goodbye to tears and sorrow,
Farewell doubt and fear.

 But included in the letter also was the following paragraph, which District Attorney George E. c. Johnson and his aids intimated

 of the trial.
 Notwithstanding that two of the taxpayers ((Capone's) associates from whom have sought informa- tion with respect to the amount of
 the taxpayers income insist that
 his income never exceeded $50;- 900 in any one year, am of the opinion that his taxable income for the years 1926 and 1927 might be fairly fixed at not to exceed $26,- 900 and $40.000 respectively, and for the years 1928 and 192 not to
 exceed $100.000 per year"

 As his income tax fraud trial be- fore United States District Judge James H. Wilkerson went into it's fourth day, the record held details of a Capone compromise offer that his own attorneys characterized as confession.
 A letter, ruled as admissible after a day-long battle by the defense to prevent entry as evidence, con- tained Capone's admission through his Washington attorney that the gang chiefs income over a four year period was $266,000. It ad- mitted no tax had been paid. The letter has not been read to the jury, however, and another battle to pre- vent the jury hearing it was ex- pected today.
