Alumni August Newsletter Dear Milne Alumni and Supporters, In this issue: * Digitization Project * Good News! * Sad News DIGITIZATION PROJECT If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out the Milne School Digital Collections. These collections include our yearbooks, newspapers, and other Milne School publications. Also available at that site is a link to the restored murals located in the former Milne Library, an audio recording of (most of) the September 1, 1984, dedication of the Milne Commons Room located in Education Building Room 335, and a link to a list of donors that made our Digitization Project possible. If you are able to provide missing newspapers or yearbooks, please let me know. We will be able to add any missing documents as they are found. Remember, all documents are searchable. Be sure to "bookmark" the above link for future reference. Thanks to everyone who made the completion of the Digital Reformatting Project possible! Alumni will be able to revisit their Milne experiences, and their descendants will have a unique opportunity to learn about their ancestors' high school years. GOOD NEWS! Sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't received any "good news" this month. Please let me know when you have news to share, personal and/or professional. Meanwhile, I hope you're all having a wonderful summer!
