Milne is also on as well as sport jackets, records, crowds, the color blue, con­ vertibles, (speaking of cars, have you seen the neat car Betty drives?). French fries are her fa­ vorite food. (They’re fattening, too). Gosh, Betty’s a brave girl. Dislikes are any kind of fish, dead or alive, also worms. I’ll bet she just hates fishing. Betty must not like the strong, silent type, ’cause people that talk a lot are on the list. Betty is a very active girl, and especially so since she is editor of the Bricks and Ivy. Betty has worked on the B. and I. for four years, and last year she was liter­ ary editor. Being on the staff, she has gone to New York for two years to the conventions. Her ad­ vice to future conventioners is to store up plenty of energy before going. Thanks for the advice Betty. She is -also a member of Sigma, the French Club, and the CRIMSON AND WHITE staff. She has been girls’ sports editor, but recently resigned her position as the Bricks and Ivy takes too much time. Our loss is their gain. Herideal man is tall, like all o^w^s, a U|ood dancer with person­ ality, atmgiie, dohgh't laugh at his own J«^es, and has good taste in clothes. (Maybe that’s because her own good taste and pretty clothes.) Some of Betty’s ambitions are to fly an airplane and to set off a fire­ cracker in the library, and may her dreams all come true.

Begins Yea/s Activities With Usual Bang The Albany Student War Council, founded in 1942 by Dick Bates, for­ mer president of the Milne Student Council, has begun another year of activities. This is the third year of the War Council and it is the first year the president lias not been from Milne. Dick Bates, as founder, was the first president, and Kenny Stephenson held the office last year. The honor this year goes to Stephanie Bunting of Albany High. Other officers are John Summers, C.B.A., treasurer, and Ruth Welsh, Milne, secretary. The business ^manager has not yet been elected. All Schools Represented Each ^chool in the city is repre­ sented on the council. One senior and one junior are elected to serve for the school year. In this way there is always someone experi­ enced serving. All members have not been elected yet. However, Eve Willard is one of the St. Ag­ nes’ representatives, Jane Sabeskis represents St. Joseph’s, George Ross serves the Albany Boys Academy and Paul Allamend represents Hackett Junior High. Ruth Welsh, ’45, and Phil Stod­ dard, ’46, are Milne’s representa­ tives. As yet, no advisers have been chosen, but there will be one from the public schools, one from the private schools, and one from the Parochial School. Dr. Robert Fred­ rick, principal of Milne, was chair­ man of the school commission last year. Meets Monthly The council meets once a m-iith to discuss bond sales, scrap drives, canteens, and ways to promote other youth organizations and good will between schools. The date of the annual dance hasn’t yet been deeided. The war council has an excellent record of past performances. Among other things, they arranged for ap­ plication and training of all high school students interested in Christ­ mas work. Milne Record Bad! War bond and stamp sales are an important part of their work, and so far Milne is the moet un­ cooperative school on record. Ted Carlson, president of Milne Student Council asks, >Do you want this sort of a recA’a for Milne?” Then he added, “Of^purse not, so let’s get our bond saMs up where they belong!”, * mm. CRIMSON AND WHITE PAGE 4 'Down rBeaLj . - by <J\iarcicL^ This week sees only one release of worth. Columbia has Frank Sinatra singing “White Christmas.” Frankie does it as well as Bing and shows that, at times, he is in a class all by himself.

Benny Goodman’s younger brother is manager of Artie Shav/’s newly i’ormepl band. Freddy can play the trumpet with almost as much skill as Benny. Johnnie Johnston has been signed to sing on his own program. He’s sponsored by Chesterfield’s, also.
