Milton is a place full of tradition, both old and new. Among these traditions, the annual new student book signing is one of the most prominent, and represents that continuation of Milton’s tradition, from year to year, and generation to generation. I remember my first real day as a student at Milton in September of my freshmen year. Mr. Ball commenced the academic year, we went to our first classes, and then one by one every new freshman signed, “The Book.” In the chapel, this Book (there have been a few over the years) has been signed by every Milton student. This tradition, while special in its own right, also exemplifies the community as a whole. I know, for me, it was very cool to sign the same book (essentially) that my dad had signed 30 years earlier. Milton evolves, renews itself, casts off the old in favor of the new, and yet the book represents continuity across time. This tradition is just one example of many that make Milton such a unique place to go to school.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
