Lovers of Language: Students find answers to contemporary issues in the classics
At Milton, there is no such thing as a “dead” language. Here, the classics are alive and thriving, and students can choose to continue a Milton tradition of Latin or Ancient Greek — languages that date back roughly to the 6th century BC and the 9th century BC, respectively.

For Facilities Team, Athletics Work Is 24/7
Ernie Ostine’s first day of work for Milton’s facilities department was on a snowy day in February 1978. It’s a story that Steve Zannino, associate director for grounds, events, and fleet management, likes to tell. Worried that it would not look good to not show up, Ernie walked to campus through the heavy snow from his home in Dorchester. He was stuck on campus for the next five days during what became known as the Blizzard of ’78. Forty-one years later, Ernie is the longest-serving member of Milton’s stellar facilities team, a dedicated group that keeps the campus humming.

POST SCRIPT
“And I am the same Wall. The Truth is so . . . ”
By Randall Dunn '83
I played Tom Snout, the tinker, in my Class IV play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And for the past 40 years, to the dismay of my children, I still enthusiastically recite all my lines whenever someone mentions the play. “In this same interlude it doth befall that I, one Snout by name, present a wall . . . ”
