ENLIGHTENING THOUGHTS
T h e r e is nothing more solitary than a school building at night, standing
dark and lonely in the still evening air.
It misses the g a y laughter and silly
c h a t t e r of the students w h o w a l k its halls during the d a y l i g h t hours.
T h e usually
busy classrooms are quiet and the black-boards are devoid of a n y pupil's unprepared w o r k .
It w o u l d n ' t be hard for a school to write its memoirs.
P r o b a b l y the most
amusing would be the entrance of a new group of seventh graders as t h e y timidly
wander around and looking for the right locker room.
T h e n , there would be the
time when a most dignified student entered his class through the glass in the door,
or when the eraser missed a wise student and landed on the teacher's desk.
Innumerable good times and bad times h a v e been experienced in M i l n e and
will be as long as the building stands.
T h e walls will w a t c h t h e same tricks
played and hear the same puns made over and over again.
come and go, h a p p y to arrive and reluctant to leave.
Still, classes will
E v e r y t i m e we look at this
building we will stand off and think of it silhouetted in the d a r k hoping t h a t we
will a l w a y s maintain our memories as this strong silent edifice does.

automobile wrecks, and turning them in to the newspapers." George is a great

Resolved: T h a t the several states should adopt the unicameral system of legislation, at Roessleville. A f t e r winning this debate, we had another debate with
Roessleville on the same subject but with opposite sides, at Milne. We lost this
one. T w o of our members took part in a symposium on Unicameralism at Philip
Schuyler with five different schools participating. T o finish up the short season,
we had a debate. Resolved: T h a t New Y o r k State adopt the unicameral system

Felt greatly by the team was the loss of M a r t i n Creesy, (a veteran of three

which was suffered during a practice session prior to the first game.

with the one exception of Philip Schuyler High School. In the early part of the
season Rensselaer High School was successful in turning back the Crimson Tide.
A f t e r having time to get under w a y however, the team treated its fellow Milnites
to an overwhelming victory over this same squad which more than squared the
count between the two schools.

T h e r e was something v e r y i m p o r t a n t I w a n t e d to tell you.

T h e words I w a s to h a v e said were c h o k e d in m y throat.
A n d y o u r eyes were hidden behind their glass fences.
T h e r e w a s a wall between us, built of lip-laughter,
A n d all the things people never say to each other.
I could only stammer polite nothings,
A n d m a k e trite observations a b o u t the state of world affairs.
W h i c h I knew interested y o u more than I did.
I wonder if you t h o u g h t I was a little c r a z y ,
S t a n d i n g there making stupid remarks, w i t h m y eyes wide open.
Hoping against hope to prolong t h a t m o m e n t .
Oh, if there were no walls to keep us from telling the truth, because
we might be laughed a t !
I know then 1 could have gone to y o u , and taken y o u r hand,

TO A LAKE
I gazed with reverence across the magnificent expanse of L a k e Champlain,
This was the lake that, years ago, had taken from me my closest buddy. I can
still remember how he came to me with his face shining with happiness, to tell
me that he was going to this great lake. I said goodbye to him casually, and
never saw him again.
\'et the lake remains in all its b e a u t y , — a s if nothing had happened.
My
friend was only a speck in its vast body. I should hate it, but how can anyone
hate anything so great and beautiful? A s I lingered, the sun slowly began to set
behind a distant mountain, casting beautiful golden colors across the sky. One
by one, the clouds seemed to burst into flames and were reflected with equal
splendor from the blue depths of the lake. I walked slowly to a large rock,
mounted it and sat down. S l o w l y I began to feel the presence of m y b u d d y ,
and he seemed very happy.
As the sun dropped from sight and the colors began to fade, I rose and left
without resentment.

MY HOUSE OF DREAMS
M y dream house is a little C a p e C o d c o t t a g e nestled on the side of a hill,
with spacious lawns and shady trees circling it.
T h e house is w h i t e with a green
roof and shutters bearing a tiny, stenciled, sailing ship on each one.
A square
brick c h i m n e y lifts its head a b o v e the center of the roof while three dormers keep
the roof from looking deserted and lonely.
T h e w i n d o w s h a v e small panes of
glass; and in the center of the colonial front door, a polished brass knocker gleams
in the sun.
Evergreens and rhododendrons are planted close to the f o u n d a t i o n ;
and in front of them, little orange marigolds bloom from June until October.
A
huge, friendly, old elm tree spreads its fan protectingly over a corner of the roof
while in the b a c k yard there is a gnarled pine tree to whisper secrets to me at
night when the wind s w a y s its branches.
On the side, an apple tree wears its
prettiest pale pink dress to welcome t h e birds in the Spring.
T h e r e is an old-
fashioned garden there, too, w i t h roses, sweet-peas, petunias, even sun-flowers,
perhaps, and a little r o c k y pool full of fan-tailed goldfish.
A r o u n d the whole
y a r d is a low, white, picket fence w i t h a tiny gate w h i c h is a l w a y s open as a welcome to people, because, in the end, all this is really only a setting for the people
w h o live in the house.

T h e clouds looked d o w n upon the scene
From lordly, l o f t y h e i g h t ;
T h e sun shone down upon the green
T h a t sloped up toward its light.
For grass w a s green upon t h a t hill
T h a t stretched along the road;
A n d air w a s clear and all w a s s t i l l —
T ' w a s like a god's abode.
But clouds had looked upon t h a t place
In d a y s long past and gone;
A n d sun had shown upon the face
Of hills now live with song.
Yes,
Had
And
And
clouds had seen t h a t slope before
seen it running red;
sun had shown upon the gore
blistered countless dead.
For this w a s where our heroes f o u g h t

MAGIC
On a hill-top far a b o v e the world, I stand gazing d o w n the long w h i t e slope.
It is the magic hour of twilight when all the s n o w y world lies hushed and still.
Far below, A p o l l o flaunts a last farewell to pink clouds in a lavender heaven. A s
the sun sinks slowly on a g r a y city, a slight breeze fondles m y c h a p p e d cheek as
it sets the icicles on the birches to clattering. T h e pungent odor of cedar, spruce,
and pine drifts with the evening wind. 1 hear children singing in the distance as
they wearily drag their toboggans homeward. A b a b y pine tree's branch is
broken; it rests gently on the surface of the snow half w a y d o w n the hill, sighing
e v e r y time the wind passes. Long purple shadows play on the soft snow. Soon
the sky becomes v e l v e t , and the lights twinkle in the city.

SHE'S DIFFERENT
She certainly is different. I d o n ' t think it is possible to imagine a girl so
beautiful as A n n . She has beautiful golden hair t h a t falls s o f t l y over her perfectly rounded shoulders. W h e n the swishing wind blows g e n t l y over her tresses,
it reminds y o u of fields of golden w h e a t w a v i n g in the sighing breezes. Below
the hair comes an open brow t h a t contains t w o deep, t h o u g h t f u l blue eyes. T h e y
are not a deep blue; t h e y are a light blue, the blue of an open s k y crossed b y
cotton puffs of w h i t e clouds. T h e y are v e r y understanding eyes. T h e y seem to
sense y o u r troubles before t h e y are uttered. W h e n the sun, and moon, strikes
them t h e y glisten and sparkle with a lovely glow. Her perfectly shaped nose
tilts up at the end, slightly, and gives an appearance of y o u n g girlishness. T h e
few freckles give the appearance of soft, eager, v i b r a n t , j o y f u l , h e a l t h y y o u t h .
Her soft, gently molded red lips set off in sharp contrast a perfect set of sparkling w h i t e teeth. Her whole set of features seem to blend together and m a k e
one's dream of the most, most beautiful girl come true. Her quick sincere smile
seems to pop out like the sun coming from between dark clouds after a rainstorm.
W^hen A n n comes into a gathering, e v e r y t h i n g seems to brighten up as it does
when she's anyplace. W h e n she merely w a l k s down the street or through the
park, the sun shines brighter, and the birds sing louder. I think she's the absolute best in the world.
I wish, if y o u should ever meet A n n , y o u would please introduce me.

like to know a girl like t h a t .

HOW I GET UP IN THE MORNING
I w a s going to call this " O n G e t t i n g U p In t h e M o r n i n g " , b u t as B o b
Benchley has already written on t h a t topic, I will be a little different and tell
you how I get up in the morning.
M y methods fall in t w o distinct classes. O n e — " g e t t i n g u p on m y own
a c c o r d , " the o t h e r — g e t t i n g up when c a l l e d . " L e t us look at class number one
first. W h e n I h a v e n ' t quite finished m y h o m e w o r k , or w h e n I w a n t to do something v e r y special before the rest of the f a m i l y w a k e s up, I set m y alarm clock.
M y alarm clock is electric (I b o u g h t it all b y myself), and it has the worst noise
for an alarm y o u ever heard. It is not a bell or a gong, b u t a loud, s t e a d y b u z z .
T h i s b u z z is so violent t h a t it not only w a k e s me up, b u t it gets the rest of the
family also. T h i s m a k e s them v e r y mad because t h e y c a n ' t get b a c k to sleep.
One morning I j u m p e d o u t of bed w i t h such a start (when the b u z z b u z z e d ) t h a t
my knee hit m y lip, which w a s swollen for a week. T h i s m e t h o d of g e t t i n g up
f r a y s m y nerves terribly and I am j u m p y all d a y . W h e n b u y i n g an alarm clock,
I strongly recommend the tinkle-tinkle t y p e or the two-voiced kind.
M e t h o d number t w o is the one I use most. It w o r k s in e x a c t l y the same
manner e v e r y morning. I w a k e up of m y own accord at e x a c t l y seven-fifteen,
probably because I hear m y mother tell m y father to g e t up, on her w a y d o w n stairs to get breakfast. M y father gets up at e x a c t l y seven-forty-five and g e t s
me up. T h i s m a y sound irreverent, b u t I hate to hear his voice w h e n he says,
" U p " . I fall out of bed and turn on the radio. W h i l e p u t t i n g on m y shoes and
stockings, I half-hear the news flashes. B y the time I g e t m y face washed, I'm
nearly all a w a k e , and " A . L. Parsons and Sons, Ford Sales and Service at C e n t r a l
Bridge, N e w Y o r k , " are on the air w i t h their canned music. " Breslaw Brothers,
T h e H o m e of Bonded Furniture, w i t h stores in A l b a n y , S c h e n e c t a d y , A m s t e r dam, S a r a t o g a , G l e n s F'alls and C o h o e s " entertain me w i t h their transcriptions
while I'm g e t t i n g dressed. B y this time it's eight-fifteen; and I rush downstairs
to breakfast, feeling mad at n o b o d y and at peace w i t h the world, b u t wishing I
had m y English h o m e w o r k finished.

During the past year, the Albany Business College Employment Department
received better than two calls each business day for trained office employees . . .
for full-time permanent positions.
. . . And many of these opportunities went unfilled for lack of trained ABC
graduates.
This testimonial from employers indicates the effectiveness of the Albany Business
College plan of balanced education . . .
a plan combining advanced training
with extensive extra-curricular activities.
(Graduation from an approved high school is one entrance requirement; the
Admissions Committee gives preference to students with college-entrance credits.
