They were swinging and swaying to Aurora —those three sisters of song (and by the way they are sisters) Patty, Maxine, and LaVerne
Andrews, as we watched them com­ plete their act—from backstage at the Palace Theatre and then return to a packed audience for three en­ cores.
After watching them skim past us and rush up to their dressing room, we heard them sing and hum as they changed into their street clothes. Patty wore soldier blue tailored slacks, a natural silk blouse, and brown moccasin-type shoes, while LaVerne was dressed fit to kill in a fur jacket over a beige tweed suit.
Patty, still in her stage make-up, plumped herself down on the stairs to her dressing room, and said in a friendly tone, ‘’What’ll you have, kids?”
The three of us riddled her with questions until her tall, dark, and handsome manager, Matty Melcher, set a one minute limit. And here’s what we found out: ft.
Miss Anna Palmer, Supervisor of mathematics in Milne, was married yesterday to Mr. W. Stuart Wilson, of Tupper Lake, New York, at the

College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and has done graduate work at Columbia
University. The bridgegroom is a graduate of Clarkson University,
Potsdam, New York, and has done graduate research at Cornell Uni­ versity.

TOTAL............................. $2542
The Budget is subject to change.
(Continued on page 4, column 3)
Mrs. Philip Palmer, of Cedar

“Hi there! Have you been invited to the Junior
High Reception? I heard that it is going to be pretty nice! Jeannette Price is chairman of the decoration committee, and she said she had some good ideas, but she wouldn’t tell. All I know is that there’s going to be some pumpkins and stuff. Gee, I wonder what you’re supposed to wear. Do you know?”
“I heard that it’s a sport dance. That ought to be fun. Only a couple of ninth grade girls have been invited as far as I know. Helen Huntington is going with A1 Saunders, and Barbara Cooper is going with
James Fallon.”
“The eighth grade boys seem to take their dances more seriously. Jeanette Price is going with Fad
Terry, and Eleanor Mann is going with Eugene
St. Louis, Frankie Belville asked Alice Rasmussen, and guess what? . . . Frankie Kirk and Pete Hunting are going together. *
“I heard of two seventh graders- going together,
Nancy Lee Clarke and Bob Kelly. Remember when we were in the seventh grade? Practically every girl was invited to the dances then. Gee, those were the days!”
“Well, we always have the stag line to look toward to. And that’s something!”
Sidelights: Having a Lovely Time ridge’s trumpet is really sizzling.
will soon be waxed by some of the “big name” bands —-Stop, The Red
Light’s On as done by that drummin’ man, Gene
Krupa, is another. ...Let Me Off Uptown, Ray Eld-
Concerto For Two — This song is slowly but surely gaining a following in the music world. It’s really
Tschaikowski’s (whew!) piano concerto which you all probably would recognize as the theme song of Orson
Wells’ program. The best recording of it so far is
Claude Thornhill’s rendition of it on Columbia records.
The tune is the same as it was in the classic treatment but new words have built it into a love song.
Halleluja — This is T. Dorsey’s latest release to date and one that really gives Dorsey and company a terrific “ride.” This is a real “jump number” that overflows with lively rhythm. The band gives it a steady, solid base with a fast beat and backs up some inspired soloing by every lead man in the crew. The trumpet solo by Ziggy Elman is as usual a beauty and the sax, piano and drum solos will put you on the edge of your seat. Pale Moon is sung ably by Frank
Sinatra and the band plays fluently.
We heard some more news about our former students. I guess that
Milne is doing quite a bit in the world of sports. Johnny Fink, ’40, ex-Milne hero, is end on Trinity’s pig-skin team. Dick Game, ’38, (big- brother of athletic Hal) is co-cap­ tain of the R.P.I. basketball team, as is Bob Taft, ’38, captain of the
Colgate team. Speaking of Bob, reminds us to tell you that he just won an Austen Scholarship of $300 in recognition of his high scholastic attainment during 1940-41.
Some of our boys are going in for the defense of our country. John
Dyer, ’41, joined the Navy, and Bob
Meghreblian, ’40, and Bill Burgess,
’40, students at R.P.I. were selected for an R.O.T.C. course and when they get out of college they can join the Marine Corps reserve as second lieutenants, or as ensigns in the Navy.
Milne graduates, like other people, eventually get married. Ginny So­ per, ’37, was sporting a diamond en­ gagement ring, but now it is ac­ companied by a wedding band. The groom is James Keough of Spring- field, Mass. He graduated from
Union in 1941. Ginny graduated from Russell Sage as a full fledged physical education instructor. She’ll be teaching at Greenville Central
School this year.
Norma Kapewich, ’37, and Howie
Rcsenstein, ’35, both Milne grads, will be listening to the toll of wedding bells soon. Norma grad­ uated from Skidmore this past
June. Howie, one of our ex-athletes, attended N. Y. U. Betty Holmes, ’39, and Isabelle Chapman, ’39, were also recently married. Jackie Townsand,
’40, is getting ready for the wedding- march up at Cornell. She’s engaged to a westerner. Dot Shattuck, ’39, who may be seen typing in the office on the first floor, will soon wed Ed Starkweather, ’39. He’s wed Ed Starkweather, ’39. Ed Hunt­ ing, ’39, and Ginny Jordan, ’39, will also “middle aisle it.” Just think, this all started in Milne.

Such an assortment of clothes:
Everyone started back to school wearing the latest styles—and in sweater language that means the new “V” necklines. Priscilla Smith was seen wearing a bottle-green one with a matching plaid skirt. Very becoming, Pris! Also looking well in their new “V” sweaters and gay plaid skirts are. Joyce Hoopes, Lois
Ambler, and Mickey Baldwin. How­ ever, pullovers and cardigans aren’t a thing of the past. For proof, there’s Janice O’Connell wearing a red and black skirt, black sweater, and knobby red beads.
Suits are as popular as ever. Sue
Hoyt has a becoming one of blue plaid and Muriel Welch has a green corduroy one. The girls are stealing ideas from the boys, too. Margie
Wright and Ruth Ketler have been sporting camel’s hair jackets.
Glenna Smith has been wearing- some of her own makings, and look­ ing very well. Just think, making a whole sweater and then being able to wear it to school. Gosh!

Under the leadership of Sanford
Golden, '42, the Boys’ Athletic
Council is planning a whirlwind drive for parents’ support at Milne basketball games.
The council is going to foster a campaign to see which homeroom in the school can sell the most season tickets to the home games.
On the first floor bulletin board will be placed a large poster with each homeroom represented with a red thermometer. As the homerooms sell tickets the temperature will rise.
At the end of the contest, the win­ ning homeroom will be presented with a winners’ cup. The ceremony will take place at one of the home contests. The cup will be inscribed with the winning homeroom’s num­ ber and will be placed on exhibition in the trophy case on the first floor.
The Boys’ Athletic Council will send a letter to each homeroom
Monday, October 20 with further details of this contest. Tickets to a singl-; game this year will be 30 cents. By buying a season ticket parents or friends will save $1.00, as the season ticket is $1.00.
Alton Wilson, ’42, president of the council, and Golden both state that the plan is for the increased of at­ tendance of parents at Milne Ath­ letic contests and they desire every
Milne student to secure his or her parents’ presence at the basketball games. In addition the tickets may be used to permit friends to enjoy the contests at Milne.

Barbara MacMahon, ’45, President of Junior Student Council, an­ nounces that the Council member­ ship, composed of homeroom repre­ sentatives, has been completed.
Dr. William H. Hartley comes to
Milne and with him comes Audi-
Visual Education.
“This innovation brings the use of sound, motion pictures, and slides to the class room,” said Dr.
Hartley, in an interview in his of­ fice.
Milne is fortunate in having one more progressive educator on its fa­ culty. A graduate of Lewiston,
Pennsylvania High School and New
York University, Dr. Hartley is the possessor of Science Degree secured at Springfield College, Master’s and
Doctor’s Degrees obtained at Teach­ ers College, Columbia University.
Previous to his coming to Milne,
Dr. Hartley was Physical Director of the Y. M. C. A. 'at Bayonne, New
Jersey. Then he taught at Ellic Col­ lege, New Town Square, Pennsyl­ vania, and State Teachers College,
Patterson, New Jersey. For the past three summers he has been on the faculty of Teachers College, Colum­ bia University.
Dr. Hartley, who is a native of
Brooklyn, explains the new phase of
Audio-Visual Education he brings to
Milne in these words. “It is the use of sound and pictures in the class room, thus rendering a more effec­ tive way of learning.”
Dr. Hartley has a long list of ac­ complishments. He has written sev­ eral books: Conservation and Citi­ zenship by Renner and Hartley;
Selected Films of American History and Problems by Hartley. He is Au­ dio-Vision Editor of Social Educa­ tion Magazine and is Educational
Adviser for the Columbia School of the Air.
“I think Milne is swell,” said Dr.
Hartley, “but what impresses me most is the why the school is run and the splendid reaction of the students. I also like the initiative of
Milnites”. Still quoting: “I like Al­ bany very much but I like Milne students best.”
Collaborator and author, editor and adviser, teacher and physical director, Dr. Hartley still finds time for his hobby, photography.
