Junior Students Nominate
Candidates for Presidency
Milne to Receive
Minute Man Flag
Arden Flint, ’44, chairman of the
Victory Corps, has recently ordered
a minute man flag for Milne, signi­
fying that 90% of Milne students
are purchasing war stamps and
bonds.
Milne has the distinction of being
the first school in Albany county to
receive its certificate enabling it
to purchase this flag. The award
is given to any school or business
corporation of which 90% of the
students or employees are purchas­
ing bonds or stamps by systematic
plan. Although Milne was the first
in the county to receive this certifi­
cate, purchase was held up to make
sure that the 90% was still main­
tained.
Knapp, Jones, Flint and
Stephenson Named
At a meeting of the junior class
on Monday, April 26, the juniors
nominated the four candidates for
the presidency of the student gov­
ernment. They are Arden Flint,
Joyce Knapp, Leonard Jones, and
Kenny Stephenson.
Paul Distelhurst, president of the class, turned
the meeting over to Richard Bates.
Bates Explains
Bates explained to the juniors
that it is their job to pick the candi­
dates for the presidency of the stu­
dent government for next year. He
said that the candidates must be
capable, dependable, and able to get
along with people. He explained the
problem with which confronted the
president. He explained the method
of picking the candidates. Eight
people were nominated, and of the
eight four were voted upon to be­
come the final candidates. The
The nominees were Paul Distelhurst, Joyce Knapp, David Ball,
Tom Dyer, Arnold Baskin, Leonard
Jones, Kenny Stephenson and Ar­
den Flint. A discussion took place,
then a secret ballot. The final vot­
ing for the president will take place
at an assembly on May 28.
Miss Elizabeth Shaver and Miss
Frances Slater, history and social

to come because they must attend

Large Audience Applauds GirlShy
Held, Vail Star in Senior Comedy
Before a full house audience, the
seniors last night presented the play
Girl Shy to raise money for their
gift to the school. The play was
directed by Misses Barbara Clark
and Shirley Wurz, two State Col­
lege seniors.
The play, a comedy in three acts,
was received with much laughter
by students and parents. The lead­
ing male actors, Chuck Cross and
Royal Held, are seniors at college,
rooming together. Heid takes the
part of the girl-shy boy, Tom Arsdale. Cross is practically the op­
posite. His name is Oke Stimson.
The plot sends Tom’s father, played
by Morty Swartz to the college

Milne and the ^Four Freedoms77
Norman Rockwell, the i'amous American
artist, has recently portrayed very strikingly the
“Four Freedoms” as laid down by Prime Minis­
ter Churchill and President Roosevelt in the
Charter of the Atlantic. These paintings first
appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, and are
destined to take their place among the best of
America’s art, both for their beauty and their
tremendous signilieanre.
The democratic principles of the charter have
come to be discussed more and more by the
people of the nation. At such a time it seems
important that we look at Milne and see if
these principles are in practice in our school,
and if in the light of these Milne can truly be
called a democracy.
Fredom of speech is surely evident here. The
students may voice their opinion in the most
important school functions. They vote for all
members in the student government and in the
annual election assembly, any student may voice
his opinion concerning any ol the candidates.
In the annual budget assembly, students meet
and discuss freely the best way with which to
appropriate funds for student activities.
In
homerooms, students discuss issues before the
Student Council, and then the representative
brings the views before the council.
There is freedom from fear in Milne; we have
no gestapo to spy on the students. Some who
break the laws may complain, but theirs is no
just grievance. Freedom of religion is evident
in Milne. Students of all religion share the
benefits of the school alike. Freedom from want
carries beyond the scope of the school, into the
homes, but students lack little in the way of
educational equipment.
Milne can display the Rockwell paintings
without being hypocritical.

LEE MAPES
Lovely red hair that matches her
personality, vivaciousness, artistic
ability, who else could fit this de­
scription but Milne’s own Lee
Mapes.
Lee was born October 15, 1925
and since that eventful day until
the present, her pastimes have been
eating, fighting with her sister, tak­
ing care of kids Saturday after­
noons, and riding on buses from
Watervliet to Albany.
Interior Decorator
In the near future Lee hopes to
take a course in mechanical draw­
ing and eventually to work up to
an interior decorator.
Lee now holds the responsible
job of being co-editor of the Bricks
and Ivy.
She is also the severe
critic of the Zeta Sigma Literary
Society. The great success of the
annual card party was partly due to
Lee’s effort towards the publicity
end of it.
Besides these many duties she
takes an active interest in art and
choir. In the musical field her
favorites range from modern to
classical music. Outstanding among
her lines is Gershwin’s Rhapsody in
Blue.
Likes Basketball
Lee confessed she is not the ath­
letic type but enjoys watching a
fast game of basketball.
In addition there is the all im­
portant question of Lee’s he man.
He must be six ,feet tall, nice look­
ing and must have a good sense of
humor.
If anyone is interested on how
she came to be called Lee, it hap­
pened this way: Her brother could
not pronounce Elizabetli but could
only manage “Lee”. As you know
this name ha sstayed with her ever
since.
She comes from a long line of
brilliant people. So you can see she
has a lot to live up to. But, of
course, Lee has succeeded in hold­
ing up the tradition that her brother

CRIMSON AND WHITE
Baseball Squad to Oppose
Three Teams Next Week
Play Schuyler, CBA,
Albany High School
Next week, the Milne baseball
team faces the toughest schedule
in the present baseball season, play­
ing three top teams in the Albany
Scholastic Baseball League.
On
Monday they face Christian Broth­
ers Academy in Bleecker stadium.
On Wednesday they oppose Albany
High School in another Bleecker
stadium tilt. Thursday, they return
home to meet Philip Schuyler at
Ridgefield park.
Big Test
This week of play is the real test
for the Red Raiders. Practice up
until now, has been sadly lacking,
although this is true for all teams
in the league. Bad weather has
come in an overdose this season,
forcing the teams to get in any
small practice periods whenever the
$un choses to come out.
' The Milne team this year has a
good supply of veterans, but is a
little short in reserves, especially in
the pitching department.
Dyer Veteran
Tom Dyer, a veteran of two years
experience will bear the brunt of
the pitching duties this year. Hal
Game and Chuck Terry, a freshman
left hander, will probably see action
on the mound. The infield has a
stock of good material. Swartz, a
holdover, will play the initial sack.
JCdick, captain of the team, was
Switched from outfield to third base.
Muehleck
and Detwieler,
both
sophomore, will probaly fill second
and short. Len Jones will hold
down an outfield position as he did
last year. The other outfield posi­
tions will probably be filled, by
Harvey Holmes, Chuck Hopkins,
and Hal Game, Dutch Ball will
handle most of the catching duties.
Ball has had two years experience.
Barring any injuries or serious
mishaps, the Red Raiders should
turn in a good record.
The Scholastic League has turned
out to be the shot in the arm to
high school baseball.
The league
race is indecisive in this early stage,
but already a wide seperation is apperaing among the teams. A close
fight for the lead looms between
C.B.A., Cathedral, and Philip Schuy­
ler. St. Joseph’s seems doomed to
the cellar. Milne was the last team
to open and as yet, they have not
faced a real test. Albany High
School and Albany Academy have
hot shown much in early season
performances.
Vincentian seems
to be highly over-rated.
The team has been practicing at
the Ridgefield Y.M.C.A. Park every
day that the weather permits. The
squad consists of: George Edick,
■43; Hal Game, ’43; Nick Mitchell,
'•43, manager; Tom Dyer, ’44; Chuck
Hopkins, ’44; Dutch Ball, ’44; Len
Jones, ’44; Ed Muelick, ’45; Bob
Kircher, ’45; A1 Saunders, ’45; Pete
Hunting, ’46; Chuck Terry, ’46; Don
Cristie, '46; Larry Clarke, ’46; Dick
Grace, ’46; Scott Hamilton, ’46. The
bat boy is Paul Roth, ’48.
Milne Trounces
St. Joseph's 17-1
The Milne Red Raiders smashed
through a weak St. Joseph’s team for
their first game and first victory of
the season. Tom Dyer pitched ter­
rific one-hit ball, striking out 14
men. He struck out two of every
three men to bat.
Dyer, Detwiler Lead Hitting
Dyer and Detwiler led the Milne
offensive with three for five apiece.
Ed Muehleck, lead-off man walked
six times for six trips to the plate.
Milne’s big inning came in the
fourth, when Muehlick walked for
the third time. He stole second and
scored when Edick reached base on
an error.
Edick made third on
Dyer’s single. Dyer took second.
Game filed out. Ball filed out.
Swartz made first on an error, as
Edick scored, Swartz took second.
Detwiler singled, to bring him in.
Jones hit to score Detwiler and then
scored on errors. Holmes walked,
stole all the way to third. Mueh­
lick walked for the second time in
the inning. Edick singled in Holmes
and Muehlick and then scored on
Dyer’s second hit. Game filed out
to end the inning.
St. Joseph’s Scores One
The rest of the game continued in
such a fashion, St. Joseph’s scoring
their lone run, when Knight made
first on an error and scored on the
lone hit, a double.

Tennis Team Tryouts
Promises Good Season
Wilfred Allard, sponsor, has dis­
closed the members of the Milne
tennis team.
The following boys
make up the team: Harry Culp,
captain; Corny Heidenrich, ’44, Lee
Aronowitz, ’45, and A1 Mendel, ’45,
all veterans of last year. The new
members are John Knox, ’46, and
Richard Herrick, ’46. This lineup
is tentative. A1 Bingham, ’44, man­
ager of the team hopes for a very
successful season.
The schedule has not been made
up yet, but Mont Pleasant, C.B.A.,
and Albany High are on the poten­
tial list.
Milne will practice on the Ridge­
field Y.M.C.A. courts, which will
also serve as Milne’s home courts.

This year Albany scholastic base­
ball is divided into two divisions,
the American division and the Na­
tional division. The American di­
vision is made up of the following
teams: Philip Schuyler, C.B.A.,
Milne( Cathedral, and St. Joseph’s.
The National division consists of
only four teams: Vincentian, Albany
High, St. John’s, and Albany Acad­
emy.
Due to the weather conditions
this week only three games have
been played, one Sunday, in which
Cathedral trouunced St. Joseph’s by
the score of 17 to 6. The other two
were both played Tuesday. C.B.A.
played Albany High and won by the
score of 6 to 1. St. Joseph’s played
this time by the score of 10 to 2, by

All other games that were sched­

of bad weather have been played

printed. After this, all games that
are postponed, have to be played
off within seven days or they will
be cancelled, because of a new
ruling made this year.

Vincentian Institute Wednesday
afternoon in Bleecker stadium. The
Elm streeters won by the score of
3-2. With the bases loaded in the
last inning and the score tied, Vin­
centian walked in the winning run
to end the game. V.I. was able to
get only one hit, but managed to
score two runs. The same after­
noon, Schuyler won its initial game,
7-3, over Albany Academy at the
Academy field. The Cadets led up
until the sixtli inning when Schuy­
ler tallied five runs to put the game
on ice. These were the only games
played on Wednesday.

The girls’ gym classes have had
a serious setback with the absence
of Miss Hitchcock. While playing
tennis, she was hit in the eye with
the ball and is now compelled to
rest for a few days. The swimming
classes and all extra curricular
sports were postponed for this
week.
The schedule for intra­
mural baseball will not be posted
until next week. Coach Grogan
and Mr. Bulger have taken over
as many classes as possible, while
the other classes go to library. The
weather was excellent for baseball,
so the two supervisors took advan­
tage of the opportunity, as the girls
played ball in the front of school.
It has been recorded that the first
home run of this season was made
by Betty Fettig, ’44. Nice going,
Betty.
The first aid course in the junior
and senior classes have been dis­
continued until Miss Hitchcock re­
covers. A First-Aider, commenting
upon her accident, has said, “This
was all intentional on Hitchie’s part.
She wanted us to practice our first
aid on her.”
Another student said, “We should
have been there. We’d have fixed
a quick recovery, though,
her up good.” Everyone hopes for
The posture tests are completed
now and a great many students
were qualified to wear the “Good
Posture” tag. It is quite an honor
and Miss Hitchcock is very proud
of those who made the squad. She
told each student their particular
fault in posture and ways in which
to improve.
A new course for umpires in
baseball will be started this spring.
The students will umpire the games
which will be of great help to Miss
Hitchcock. Those students who are
interested in the course are to
speak to the instructor shortly.
The playday for the students tak­
ing the basketball refereeing course
will be tomorrow at the Y.W.C.A.
instead of at Milne. They took their
National Board test Thursday, and
those who pass may take their prac­
tical test at the playday. St. Agnes
and Kenwood will also participate
in the playday. It is not known
wether Miss Hitchcock can be pres­
ent at the event but Miss Arnold
will probably take her place. The
students going from Milne are Bar­
bara Brookman, Barbara Richard­
son, Norma Johnson, Jean Dorsey,
and Betty Baskin.
C & WWins Top Honors
It has been announced in the
School Press Review, that the Milne
High School’s Crimson and White
