held its first meeting of the year
last Wednesday moiming. Richard
Bates, President of the Council, re­
leased the following list of officers
and members.
Edward Bookstein, of home room
130, was elected Vice-President of
th’e Council. Marjorie Wright, of
room 23, was elected Secretary, and
Benjamin Van Acker, of the Art
Room,
was
elected
Treasurer.
Bookstein and Van Acker were
candidates for the Council Pres­

the fourth candidate in last year’s
campaign, has moved away from
Albany.
New Traffic Squad

for this year are: George Edick,
Captain; Harold Game, Harry Culp,
Ted DeMoss, Bill Soper, Nick
Mitchell, Harvey Holmes, Jack Casner, and Charles Cross, Seniors;
Leonard Jones ’44, Alan Mendel ’45,

Sale of Bonds
“The sale of Defense Bonds and
Savings Stamps will be resumed
next week,” stated Richard Bates,
who was in charge of the drive last
year. The sale of the Bonds and
Stamps will be handled in the same
way as last year, treasurer taking
care of his own home room. “Each
home room should elect its treasurer
by next Tuesday at the latest,” said
Bates, “so that the start of the
drive will not be delayed. We hope
each student and home room in
Milne will cooperate.”
Milne Starts Banking
System for Students
Milne has inaugurated a new
banking system which will handle
the student association’s budget,
and other financial affairs.
The bank will be under the di­
rection of Dr. Edward L. Cooper,
supervisor of Commerce.
Com­
merce students will work in it.
The bank will be located at the
west end of the second floor hall,
and will be operated'from 8:30 to
9:00 and from 3:30 to 4:15 every
day. Melissa Engle, a Commerce
student, is now in charge of it. Any
one who is interested in the work
should see Dr. Cooper.
The organizations which share
the money will go to the bank
during the banking hours, and make
out their checks to the association.
The first business of the year for
the bank will be the collection of
student tax fees. Students should
pay their money tq the bank, in­
stead of to the office as in previous
years, suggests Dr Cooper.

Capital District, sixty-six seventh
graders formed the Milne class of

Six Members Added To
Milne Faculty for 1942

Alarm Systems
Will Not Change
“The general procedure for Fire
and Air Raid Alarm drill is the
same as last year except for the
few provisions for the new faculty,”
stated Paul C. Bulger, assistant
principal.
The new students are asked to
note the procedure for Fire and
Air Raid drills as posted on the
main bulletin board.
Attention is drawn to the seating
order in the Page Hall Auditorium.
The seventh and tenth grades are to
occupy the left side while the eighth
and eleventh years occupy the right
side of the auditorium. The fresh­
men and seniors have the center
portion reserved for them.
During good weather the students
will use the doors assigned to en­
tering and leaving. This will help
relieve crowded conditions and will
acquaint everyone with proper pro­
cedure for leaving the auditorium
in emergency.
The general supervision in case
of raid or fire is placed in the
hands of Dr. R. W. Frederick, prin­
cipal, and Mr. Bulger.
It is urged that everyone both in
faculty and student body acquaint
himself with the proper exits.
Teachers Come From
4 Corners of Country
By Betty Baskin
From the four corners of our
country, six supervisors have travel­
ed to join the Milne faculty this
year.
Mr. Harry B. Grogan, Milne’s
new Physical Education Director, is
a graduate of Cortland Teachers’
College, Cortland, New York. His
first coaching position was at Kinderhook High School for a year and
a half. He then taught at Tully
Central High School, New York.
When asked how long Mr. Grogan
will coach at Milne, he answered,
“I’ll be here permanently, I hope.”
The coach is married and has a ninemonth old baby.
New Milne Librarian
From Minnesota, comes Miss
Mabel Jackman, the new librarian
of Milne. Miss Jackman was grad­
uated from the University of Min­
nesota and received her B. S.
degree.
She then went to the
University of Chicago and received
her M. A. degree. In the last five
years Miss Jackman taught at the
University High School at Min­
nesota, and in the summer she
taught at the library division at the
University of Minnesota.

The Milne School starts the year,
1942-1943, with each individual
student, new or old, big or small,
ready to do his or her part in the
total war effort. Everyone of us,
through the course of the year,
will have the opportunity to “show

Here We Go Again!
Hello again! Just as everybody had to relin­
quish his summer vacation fun and get back
to the old grind of getting up early in the morn­
ing, studying in the evening, going to bed early
at night, and dating only on weekends, so must
the Crimson and White get back to its old
routine. It’s really no easy job to give up study
periods to work on the paper, stay late at school
until night, collect news, type copy, plan pages,
and make numerous trips to the printer—but
it is fun.
As everything else, the Crimson and White
must start from scratch again. A new staff must
be trained, new schedules must be learned, and
the will and ability to become a first class news­
paper is needed.
This year the staff of the paper hopes to have
a very successful year. By this we mean that all
school news will be completely covered and
interestingly written. All grades will be repre­
sented in the paper and as many names as pos­
sible will be printed. Last year a great deal of
comment arose because only a few people were
mentioned in the columns.
Good newspaper technique will be strictly
adhered to. It is the goal of every school news­
paper to win a medalist rating at the Columbia
Press Conference in New York City. The Milne
School wants to be known as having a medalist
paper and this year’s staff will try to get it
for you!
with Milne members. A few “campers” in school were
Bob Blum, Ruth Weil, Margie Bookstein and Barbara
Schamberger. Post cards kept drifting into Albany
from senior boys who seem to have gotten around on
their week-ends. During the week they worked(?).
Travelers by thumb were Dick Bates, Ted De Moss,
Harvey, Holmes, Billy, Soper and Nicky Mitchell.
Sandy Bookstein went on a Canoe trip. His big dis­
appointment was that he missed Jinx Falkenberg. She
took the same trip two days later.
Cliff McCulloch traveled all over the West during his
vacation . . . Nevada, New Mexico, California, Mexico.

Nancy Eddison made a return visit to New Hamp­
shire this week-end; must like the “scenery” up there.
. . . Last Friday night the season started with a gather­
ing at Harvey Holmes’ Farm. Couples that went are
Hilda Shilling, Bill Soper, Lucia Swift, Ted De Moss,
Ruth Taylor, Nick Mitchell, Joan Connors, Dick Bates,
Sue Rhoades, Chuck Cross, Ruth Welsh, Harvey
Holmes, Janice O’Connell, Tom Dyer, Frances Morah,
Chuck Hopkins, Jane Curtis and Cuyler. Thayer. They
sat around a big fire, roasted corn and fried steaks.
Tommy Dyer, being an individualist, enjoyed clams
all by himself. Seeing Lou Gehrig at the Palace Satur­
day night were Frances Morah, Bob Beckett, Jean
Dorsey, Cuyler Thayer, Janice O’Connell and Tommy
Dyer. They went to O’Connors later to dry their
tears.
At Union the same night were Natalie Mann and
Marie Edwards. Not showing any partiality Nat went
to an R. P. I. dance the night before. Others at R. P. I.
were Norma Silverstein, Shirley Atkin and Arline
Palatsky Others seen out over the week-end were
Jeanette Price, Chuck Terry, Meg Hunting, Royal
Hyde, and Laurel Ulrich keeping up the morale of
Marty Edwards. . . . There’s a rumor going around
that a junior girl’s engaged. It’s a mystery who the
girl is or who the lucky fellow is. . . . The first dances
of the year are coming up soon. The senior high dances
will be October 24th, and the junior high dance is a
week from this Saturday. Ask your girls quickly fel­
lows, so you won’t be stranded without a date.

Guess what! The seventh grade

’48 has given to Milne a poet. Here’s
a sample of Jesse’s work:

was maid of honor and Chuck
Cummings was best man.
The bride wore a street length
white dress and carried one dozen
white roses.
Private Choppy is stationed at

Grogan Outlines Sport
Outlook for 1942 Season
Good BasUetball Items of Interest
By Tom McCracken
Season Expected Saturday
afternoon at Bleeker
In an interview Monday with
Coach Harry J. Grogan, he expressed
highest hopes for the Milne basket­
ball team this year. In Mr. Gro­
gan’s words, “We have plenty of
good material to work from and I
think we will have a swell season.”
Intra-Mural Leagues
The coach also spoke of the gen­
eral sports program, and gave his
outline for two intra-mural leagues
for both football and basketball;
one will consist of 7th, 8th, and 9th
grades, while the other will include
the three senior high grades. The
program will also include wrestling,
tumbling, and calisthenics.
Mr.
Grogan thinks our team is superior
to Kinderhook’s team which he
coached last year. He also says we
compare favorably with Tully High
School, where he formerly coached.
Schedule Tentative
The schedule is as yet quite
tentative, but it is definite we will
play Boys’ Academy, Bethlehem
Central, East Greenbush, and Philip
Schuyler. He is hoping to be able
to arrange games with both Chris­
tian Brothers Academy and Vincen­
tian Institute. With the difficulty of
transportation, we will play very few
long distance games, but we hope
that we will have one long trip to
Syracuse; if this goes through it
will be the farthest our team has
been from the home court.
Graduated From Cortland
Coach Grogan graduated from
Cortland, New York and has held
positions at both Kinderhook, and
Tully high schools. He is married
and has a baby boy 9 months old.
Perhaps in 1953 we will have a
Grogan Jr., as captain of our team.
Coach Grogan is interested in out­
door activities such as fishing, hunt­
ing, and camping.
When asked how he liked Milne,
he (of course) said he thought he
was going to like it a great deal.
So here’s luck to you Coach Gro­
gan for your stay at Milne. We’ll
make no bones about saying we
expect great things.

from the University of Washington.
He received his degree at Columbia
University. He first taught in June,
Alaska and was Principal of Ele­
mentary Schools there.
Then he
taught in Seattle, Washington.
Mr. Willfred Allard, the French
suppervisor, has returned to Milne
after v/orking at Cornell University
for his Ph. D. degree. A graduate
from New York State College for
Teachers, Mr. Allard went to Mc­
Gill University in Montreal and
received his MA degree. He has
no other plans than teaching at
Milne for the present.
Stadium, Albany High School will
play Johnstown High in football.
Since all good fans will be going,
it is hoped that the game will be
good and close. Last week’s game
was a plain walkover for the “Gar­
net and Grey’s”. Schuyler’s sup­
posedly invincable team was pushed
back for loss after loss.
Bowling Season On
The Bowling season has begun
again and the leagues are at it
again. Schade’s still has the best of
alleys, the Paladium the prettiest,
with Rice’s (our favorite) sitting
right in the middle but with the
advantage of being nearby.
We don’t know whether we should
classify the “Lindy” under sports,
but if you are interested, stop over
at Eddie’s any afternoon, and watch
the Bugs jitter.
World Series
It seems that most of the C. and
W. staff are for the underdog. At
least one member of the Editorial
Board expressed a favoritism for
the Yanks. He was soundly jumped
on. The whole crew of us stood
around listening to that ninth in­
ning when the Cards made four
runs with two outs.
This covers the sports “Info” up
to date, so I’ll be seeing ya’.
New Pics
One of the newest technicolor
pictures to hit the country is the
musical comedy “Springtime in the
Rockies” starring Betty Grable and
John Payne. They are ably sup­
ported by Caesar Romaro, Carmen
Miranda, Charlotte Greenwood, and
Edward Everett Horton.
Harry James, his orchestra and
Helen Forrest doing the vocals, John
Payne and Betty Grable start things
off on Broadway as a successful
team in a musical show. Both of our
young friends are very happy, but
not for long. John goes around with
too many other girls, and Betty
leaves him for her former dancing
partner, Caesar Romaro.
They travel to a very beautiful
lake in Canada, called Lake Louise.
Here they become part of a resort
show along with Harry James and
Band.
Back in little old New York,
Payne doesn’t do well at all. With­
out Grable, producers say he is a
flop. John, anxious to regain the
lost Betty, travels to Lake Louise
with Carmen Miranda, posing as his
private secretary.
Carmen treats
everyone to a bit of her distinctive
dancing.
Then Payne attempts to win back
Betty Grable. This part is typical
of most movie plots and so you can
probably guess the end. It is good
entertainment and should be enjoyed
by all who like music and Betty
Grable.

From Alias
The girls’ athletic program in
M. Hanre Guber Milne
is just like a large book.
Dear Ed’s:
How’s everything at school? I
really like the Navy, even though
you have to put up with an awful
lot. Fellows who have been here a
week longer than you, even give you
orders. The food was terrible the
first few days, but now it’s im­
proved a great deal. My first meal
here was breakfast, I had good old
Navy beans. They really break you
in early.
Now I know how Hawk Holmes
feels. The old bugle blows at 5:30,
and you get up or else. We started
drilling today and they really make
you walk.
Johnny’s Seen the Town
I’ve been to two movies since
I’ve been here and I will go again
tomorrow to see “Someday I’ll Find
You.” Here’s a tip to the fellows
if any are thinking of joining. Be­
fore you leave for camp go out with
all the girls you can. I’ve yet to
see one that I could get near enough
to see what’s “cookin’ ”.
I’m in what is called quarantine
for three weeks while I’m getting
my shots or injections. Then after
three weeks I can go into Newport
or Liberty. Don’t ever ask a sailor
what he’s going to do because all
you need do is use your imagination.
I’m supposed to be here eight weeks
but the training period has been
cut in half. I plan to be home by
the 20th of October. I hope!!
I took an exam to get to a school.
Don’t die but I’m signed up for cook
and baker.
Hopes to Please Faculty
I hope if this letter is printed, it
meets Miss Conklin’s approval.
Please send me all the CRIMSON
AND WHITES and if any of you
landlubbers get time in French or
Math class, drop me a line. When
mail comes in I chew my finger
nails to the bone hoping I get a
letter. I start on my toe nails to­
morrow. By the way I’m sleeping
in a beautiful hammock in a room
with 300 fellows or “bubs”, and you
should hear the snoring. It’s so
harmonious.

First of ’43 to Leave
Johnny Brown was the first mem­
ber of the class of ’43 to leave Milne
and join up, but he was closely
followed by Dick Lawyer, who was
sworn in this past Tuesday.
A
story on Dick will appear in a later
issue.
Other alumni who were called to
the colors include John Dyer and
Martin Edwards of the class of ’41;
Newell Cross, Harmon Patten, Ed­
ward Starkweather, Gilbert Dancy,
Walter Sein, Richard Aupperle,
Darien Akullian, Richard Paland,
John Gulnac, Jack Skinner, Edward
Walker, Edgar Miller, Jack Beagle,
Richard Andrews, Edgar Harding,
Richard Selkirk, Gordon Robinson,
and Erastus Davis.
This list includes all boys dating
back to the class of 1939.
Let’s take Volume 1942-1943 off the
shelf, dust it, and see what it has
to say.
To begin with it is difficult to
get some of the equipment, such as
hockey balls and sticks, on account
of the war. Later on in the season
we will be using other equipment
which will be scarce, so let’s see if
we can’t look after it and help
preserve it.
On account of transportation,
there will not be a horseback riding
class this year. Everybody has to
help out to preserve rubber, so this
is one way in which the Milne
girls can help.
Mermaids Swim
For those mermaids of Milne,
swimming and life saving classes
will be conducted by Miss Hitch­
cock at the Y. M. C.A. again this
year.
A new club is being introduced
to the Milne girls this year. What
is it?
It hasn’t been officially
named yet, but it is a Women’s
Voluntary course. A standard Red
Cross First Aid Course will be
covered and then it will go into
voluntary services. This is open
to only juniors and seniors.
The seniors have three hours of
gym a week this year. This gives
them plenty of time for practice, so
they should come out with flying
banners.
The Hockey Varsity is scheduled
for practices on Fridays.
Intra­
mural games will be played off
during the week at 3:30 p. m.
A schedule will be posted of the
games.
Mothers Exercise
Mothers of Milne girls and boys
will be able to get some of their
exercise again right here in school.
Miss Hitchcock is conducting a gym
for their benefit which will be held
on Mondays at 2:30. Registration
for this class can be sent in by the
Milne students. A standard First
Aid Course will be open to the
Mothers this year. Registrations for
this will be conducted on Thursdays
October 8th, at 10:00 a. m.
After asking Miss Hitchcock
about the coming year she said-,
“On account of the war, every
young girl should be conscious of
her health. The program of physi­
cal education for the Milne School
as well as for other schools in the
country will be designed to produce
a condition of physical fitness for
high school girls.”
Girls To Study War Work
The Milne School girls are in­
stituting a new club this year,
designed to assist the war effort,
under the sponsorship of Miss
Hitchcock. It is opened to girls in
the junior and senior classes. It has
been named the “Defense Service
Club,” and will involve two or three
hours weekly.
The club will meet every Wed­
nesday at three-thirty and will
begin with a Red Cross first aid
course. A course in Staff Assist­
ance may follow.
This involves
office work at the Red Cross Chap­
ter house and also canteen work for
those girls who wish to do defense
work.

Milne Receives
To the principal and To the
Additional Mural students:
“MEET PEOPLE” is now prepar­
A new mural, by David C. Lithgow, was recently added to Milne’s
collection on the library walls. This
is the tenth in a series depicting
Albany’s historical events.
Mr. Lithgow chose as his sub­
ject the arrival of the first Erie
canal boat, “Seneca Chief,” at
Albany, in 1825. This was the first
linking of the Hudson River with
the Great Lakes and was a great
step toward linking the east with
the west. In order to bring the
canal trade to its dock, Albany
built a huge basin which could
hold more than 1,000 canal boats.
The mural shows DeWitt Clinton,
Stephen Van Rensselaer and other
canal pioneers aboard the gaily

was just east of the old Van Rens­
selaer manor house, in the back­
ground.
The purchasing of one mural
a year by each graduating class has
become a tradition of Milne. In a
few more years the series will be
completed, making thirteen murals
in all.
Junior High Students
Establish Club Council
The Junior School has formed
a Club Council, which will govern
and manage clubs under the di­
rection of Mr. Paul Bulger, Assistant
Principal, and the campus-teacher
sponsors.
At the next homeroom meetings,
a representative will be elected from
each room to the council. The coun­
cil will then elect a president, who
will become a member of the student
council.
Each club will be granted a char­
ter from the council when they have
followed certain rules. Every mem­
ber will receive a membership card
if he follows the club rules. The
clubs will also elect a president, who
is entitled to go to any of the
councils meetings, and a publicity
director, who will keep the CRIM­
SON AND WHITE informed of the
club’s activities.

Joins State Staff
Miss Naomi Hannay, Milne’s as­
sistant librarian, left to take a posi­
tion as librarian at State College
for Teachers on Thursday, October
1st. She will do only library work
at the college which she feels will
be more interesting than the study
hall supervision she has been doing
here at Milne.
As a graduate of Milne and of
State College, class of 1937, she is
continuing her 14th year of service
about these buildings. Miss Han­
nay said, “Even while at State, I
have always had a deep feeling for
Milne and its students, being a grad­
uate myself, and having two sisters
graduates.
Miss Hannay is taking the place
of Mrs. George Lutz, one of the
State College Librarians, who is
moving to Long Island. Miss Hannay’s position will be filled by a
new faculty member as assistant
librarian to Miss Mabel Jackman.
In departing Miss Hannay states,
“I am not very far away and will
be glad to help out the Milne
students in any way.”
