Gospel EXPLOSION starts now!” This message is a recent example of the texts students receive on Friday or Saturday night alerting students of the school-sanctioned activities. The Student Activities Association (SAA) holds multiple events for both boarders and day students during the weekend. Some of the most popular ones include: a hypnotist, Beatnik (a student talent show), dances, massage night, and van runs to ice cream and the movies. Starting at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, the activities offer a great forum for social interaction in a central location. It is common for day students to drive to campus and participate in these activities.

Personally, as a result of athletic games, I am on campus for most of the weekend. I always look forward to the range of activities offered at Milton. My favorite in the past four years was when SAA brought the rap group “The Deans List” to campus. Basically, there was a free rap contest in King Theatre for the whole school. I don’t think there are many other places you can find this experience in high school. Students eagerly await the text and email alerting them to what new cool thing is coming to Milton this weekend.

Last weekend, fans traveled to Lawrence Academy to watch the Milton football team play.  The crowd cheered emphatically as Milton junior, Domenic Cozier, bolted down the sidelines into the end zone for a 65-yard touchdown run, his 3rd touchdown of the game. To many Lawrence Academy fans the sight was astounding; however, to Dom’s teammates his feats are normal. Captain Jeff Brown (I) said, “He’s the fastest kid in recent school history and it shows on the field. All it takes is a small hole to spring him 60 yards.” Dom has taken the Independent School League (ISL) by storm this year, running for an astounding seven touchdowns in three games. He took over the running back position after ISL MVP and All-State Selection, Drew Jacobs, graduated. Although not standing with the same hulking frame of Jacobs, Dom uses his 5’8” 165 lbs frame to blend speed and toughness. As team captain Jeff Brown said, “Dom recently broke the school’s 40-yard dash record, running a cheetah-like 4.46.” Although the Mustangs football team is off to a 1-2 record, the team looks to bounce back this Saturday against Roxbury Latin.
