ber 25, 1943, in the Ingle Room at

Five-Piece Band
A1 Weinlein’s orchestra will sup­
ply the music for the dance. The

There will be no admission fee
for Milne Senior High students nor
for all alumni. Alumni from 1938
have been invited to the dance.
Junior High students are not in­
vited because of their separate
fund, which they may use for any
activity which they' desire.
The
general public is not invited.
David Golding, ’45, who is he
chairman of the dance, has an­
nounced Laurel Ulrich in charge of
invitations.
David states,
“The
whole-hearted cooperation of every
students is desired. To make this
affair successful.”
The chaperones for the dance are:
Dr. and Mrs. Frederick, Mr. and
Mrs. Allard, and any other faculty
members in town at that time.

in the Ingle room and in 1942 in the
Milne library.

Merry Christmas
This issue concludes school for 1943. On be­
half of the staff and advisers, I want to extend
a very Merry Christmas to all Milnites, their
relatives, and friends.
It was only with great difficulty on the part
of the editor and Miss Wheeling that this issue
goes to press. Sickness has made itself felt and
well over half a dozen key staff members were
absent.
Much of the credit for this paper goes to
students who were not even on the staff. They
willingly pitched in and wrote news which they
had never done before. This spirit is indeed
commendable.
Sanford A. Bookstein, Editor.
No Penny Hoarders
The shortage of many commodities which
before the war were regarded as necessities calls
for the most careful avoida.iice of waste on the
part of patriotic American, both young and old.
The purpose of this editorial is to bring before
you the shortage of metals required for the
making of small coins, especially the penny, and
to suggest a way in which you can he of assisance.
Most of the strategic metals used for the com­
position of the one-cent piece are an imperative
necessity in the manufacture of war impliments
needed to win the war.
Orders on the mint for pennies today are
greatly exceeding all previous records. One of
the chief reasons for the heavy demand of pen­
nies is the American habit of HOARDING

Betty

Baker and Aronowitz
Lead Milne Attack
A fighting Milne team overcame
Academy’s 4-point lead at the half
and went on to beat them, 42-39, in
a thrilling second half. The game
marked the opening of Milne’s
home season and gave the home
rooters plenty to cheer about. The
game showed a team much im­
proved over the one that lost to
Albany High two weeks ago.
Milne’s attack was led by Lee
Aronowitz with 13 points and Bill
Baker who sank 12. Chuck Hop­
kins had eight, Jim Detwiler, six,
Tom Dyer, who was acting captain,
played great defensive ball.
Ed
Muehleck sank five points during
the game.
The game opened with Aronowitz
scoring for Milne on the first play.
Academy immediately evened the
score and from then on the game
was nip and tuck. Academy pulled
ahead in the second quarter and
led at the half. In the third quarter
a scrappy Milne team overcame the
lead and remained in the front
throughout a fast and thrilling
fourth quarter that left the Milne
rooters hoarse.
The Milne J.V. won the prelim­
inary, 23-21, in a thrilling game,
marked by two overtime periods.
Today Cathedral will play host
to Milne on the Hackett court in a
game which promises to be a hard
fought contest.

AHS Beats Milne AHS, CBA
In Opening Game Lead A League
Milne High’s green basketball
team lost its inaugural game to a
seasoned Garnet and Gray quintet
by the score of 34-17.
The Red Raiders’ defense was ex­
ceptionally good, holding A. H. S.
to 34 points. However, their de­
fense proved to be stronger by
limiting us to only 17 points. It
was a very close and exciting first
half as the Milne “5” held the Gar­
net and Gray to 8 points, as we
scored 6 scattered points.
The Milne team was handicapped
by the A. H. S. court as the court
was much larger than the court on
which our boys have practiced. It
was further handicapped by the
backboards and rims. These two
factors coupled with lack of re­
serves were partly responsible for
the final score.
If the foul shooting of Milne had
been up to par the score would
have been closer and the game
more exciting. Milne missed 15 out
of 18 attempts.
“Jim” Detwiler
made 2 out of the 3 that were made.
This is compared to the Garnet’s
missing only 2 out of 8 free shrows.
La Verne Hastings making 5 out of
the 6 feul shots made for the A. H.
S. quintet.
Scoring honors of the game go
to “Bob” Powell and Harvey Stulmaker with 10 and La Verne Hast­
ings not far behind with 9 points
for the Garnet and Gray squad.
Milne’s high men were “Bill”
(Drink of Water) Baker, our tall,

with 3 points.

The basketball season is well
under way, with Albany High and
C.B.A. tied for first place in Class
A. Both schools have won two
games and have lost none.
The Brothers took their first game
from Cathedral Academy, 31-15,
two weeks ago. After the first quar­
ter the C.B.A. boys had the game
pretty much their own way. C.B.A.
went three overtime periods to sub­
due a stubborn Vincentian Institute
team, 36 to 34, last week-end, for
their second victory.
The Garnet and Gray won their
first game from Milne by a score of
34 to 17. The second win for Al­
bany High came last week with a
34 to 32 victory over Vincentian.
This game, like the C.B.A.-V.I.
game of the preceding night, also
had an overtime period. It was the
second overtime defeat for the
Lions.
Albany Academy lost its only
League game last week to the Red
Raiders. The final scroe was 42-39.
This win put the Red Raiders into
second place in the Class A League.

Miss Beth Hitchcock, known to
most of us as “Hitchy,” is now a
second lieutenant in the Auxiliary
Marine Corps and is stationed at
San Diego,
California. “It’s the
hardest job I’ve ever tackled, but
the most worthwhile,” wrote Miss
Hitchcock to a friend.
The amusing incidents to notice in
our gym classes are many. Did
anyone see the Seventh graders
playing their game of, shall we say,
“Basketball?”
Norma Johnson is
giving lessons on how to swan dive
from a horse. Barbara Richardson
can be seen any Monday or Friday,

To Hi-V Convention
Cornwell Heidenreich, ’44, repre­
sented the Milne Hi-Y organization
at their eighth annual convention
this year held in Albany. The con­
vention lasted for three days and
was concluded last Sunday noon
after many bills had been passed.
The object of the convention was
to conduct legislative meetings with
any of the clubs in the state able
to introduce a bill into the assembly.
This year the Milne club sponsored
no bill.
Two bills of interest which failed
to pass the young legislators was
one to abolish New York State Re­
gents and the other to lower the
voting age to eighteen.
Among those bills passed by the
assembly which may be of interest
to Milne students are:
(1) Requiring attendance of a
, physician at all high school ath­
letic games.
(2) Prohibiting discharge cf sew­
age into the Hudson and Mohawk
rivers or tributaries of these wa­
ters.
(3) Establishing a committee to
study, recommend and sponsor a
bill for compulsory retirement of
school teachers at 65 years of age.
These bills were passed by the
Hi-Y legislature and have nothing
to do with the state assembly.

contract prohibits her from making
appearances outside of New York
City. Certainly this fact was known
to both Miss Stevens and her man­
ager. Therefore, it was impossible
for her to attend, sick or well, and
yet she permitted her appearance to
be publicized!
The promoters of
the opera are to blame and should
somehow rectify this outrage, at
least by means of a public apology.
They knew that depreciated returns
would result if it were known that
Miss Stevens was not coming; the
management knew from the very
beginning that she would not ap­
pear.
Albany audiences will not
want to attend such events with an
example like this one facing them.
'Something ought to be done about
it.
If you go in for novelty albums,
listen to Columbia’s Danny Kaye.
Ordinarily, novelty albums are
mildly-funny or almost clever re­
cordings that grow more tiresome
with each listening. This one is so
far above the ordinary that it is
hard to describe. It’s very different
and has the effect of making you
listen closely.
