THE MILNE SCHOOL, ALBANY, N. Y.
Several Students Practices Progress
Enter the Yearly For Senior Play
for the senior
History Contests play“The‘Myrehearsals
Sister Eileen’, ai'e well
Eleven Milne students were among
those taking the annual Hearst
History examination on Monday,
December 3 at the Albany Capitol
building.
' Since- only those at Milne taking
American Histofy are seniors, they
were the only Milne students repre­
sented at the contest. Those par­
ticipating from Milne were Alice
Marie Wilson, Carol Jacobs, Janet
McNeill, Mary Mapes, Dave Volmer,
Edgar Wakeman, Nancy Woolfolk,
Art Krause, Fred Haggerty, Eugene
St. Louis and Dave Mooney. Miss
Shaver was a proctor at the exam.
This contest was sponsored by
William Randolph Hearst news­
papers in order to try and instill a
greater interest and appreciation
of American history on the part of
a larger number of students. For
a number of years there seems to
have been (according to authorities
of this organization) a growing con­
cern on the part of a considerable
number of people; most students do
not know enough about the history
of their country, and they are not
in a position to apnreciate the
values of this great country.
The exam was consisted of 25
short objective questions, and one
big essay question. It covered ma­
terial ranging from Washington’s
administi’ation to present day affairs.
The questions were all fairly gen­
eral and quite inclusive. The essay
question part one dealt with one
of the articles of the Confederation
and our Constitution. Students were
asked to compare the two, in order
to bring out the merits of the Con­
stitution. The second part of the
essay question jumped to a more
modern period in our history, call­
ing for a discussion of the League
of Nations and United Nations
organizations.
The first prize in the city is a
$200 War Bond; second prize,’ $150;
third, $100; fourth and fifth $50
each.
Miss Shaver Married?
Iis Miss Shaver married? In
the Knickerbocker News last
Friday, November 23, many who
turned to the Society page of
the paper saw the announcement
of the marriage of Miss Shaver.
Many asked the question, “Is
it our Miss Shaver?” No, it isn’t
our Miss Shaver who has taken
the fatal step; just a case of ipis_
taken identity. The last name
was the same so consequently
Miss Shaver took the kidding of
the faculty and the wondering
looks given her by the student
body.
under way”, Miss Teresa Gleason
has announced. Although the cast
has not all assembled at the same
time, their accomplishments are
promising.
The patrons and patronesses have
also been chosen with President and
Mrs. John M. Sales heading the
list. The others are Dr. and Mrs.
Robert W. Frederick, Commissioner
"and Mrs. George D. Stoddard, Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Kirk, Mr. and
Mrs. Warren Knox, Mrs. Arthur
Bates, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Bull,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Grace, Mr.
and Mrs. Avrom Jacobs, Mr. and
Mrs. Gerard Hernon, Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth McNeill, Mr. and Mrs.
Norris Paxton, Mr. and Mrs, Augus­
tus Miller and Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Morgan.
Milnettes Choose
Program Music
The newly formed Milnettes are
now functioning as they prepare to
sing carols and new music at a
Faculty Tea and at the Christmas
Assembly.
Music is being purchased by the
music department for the Mil­
nettes which includes “Who?”, “My
Beautiful Lady”, “If I Loved You”,
and “Look for the Silver Lining.”
The Milnettes have been invited
to sing at the Faculty Tea in the
lounge on December 11, at 4:00. If
all goes well, they will sing at the
Christmas assembly, December 18.
“Silent Night” is an almost certain
choice and one or two other carols
will be added. Rehearsals are be­
ing held in preparation for these
Christmas festivities.
Junior High School
Dance Big Success
“Ye Olde” lounge was the scene
of another Junior High dance on
Saturday, Dec. 1, from 7:30 to 10:30.
Dan Westbrook, Junior Student
Council president, commented that
the dance was very successful and
everyone seemed to have a wonder­
ful time.
The dance committee consisted of
Pete McDonough, George DeMoss,
Nancy Betham. Bob Parker and
David Bates. Chaperones for the
affair included Dr. Henrickson, Mr.
Haughey and Miss Blane.
The variation of leap year, broom
stick and elimination dances with
the ever popular conga line, led by
Pete McDonough, seemed to add to
the enjoyment of all.

at the senior class meeting, Monday,
December 3, to enter the competi­
tion for the Pepsi-Cola Company
scholarship. The class of ’46 elected
Bill Bull, Mary Mapes, Don Christie
and Dave Volmer.
The winners of these scholarships

Goodman’s Band
To Furnish Music
For Gala Affair
The Intersociety Council Dance
will be held tomorrow night in the
State College Lounge from 8:00 to
12:00 P. M. Music will be furnished
by Don Goodman and his orchestra
which plays at one of the canteens
here in the city. Tickets are $1.20
per couple and the price is the same
for stags. Sponsors for this dance
are Adelphoi, Theta Nu, and Phi
Sigma.
The money taken in from the
dance will be divided equally among
these three societies. Tickets have
been sold throughout the week and
will continue to be sold today and
also at the door tomorrow night.
Chaperones include Miss Eliza­
beth Conklin, Mr. Charles Haughey,
Miss Mabel Jackman, Dr. Carlton
Moose, Ruth Colvin and Joan Smith.
This year fifth year students at
the college are helping on the
chaperoning schedule for the school
functions of the year.
Jess Barnet, chairman of the
dance, is assisted by Frank Belle­
ville, ’46, and Jack Milton, ’46. Con­
cerning the sale of tickets, Mr.
Barnet says, “During the past week,
the sale of tickets has not gone as
well as we expected. We had mainly
hoped' to draw a large sophomore
crowd but apparently this appears
to have failed, due either to a lack
of cooperation or one of interest.
I still hope, however, that as many
as possible will try to come, as this
is the most important affair of the
year directly sponsored by the boys’
societies.”
The affair, which is informal,
had
originally
been
scheduled
for the first of December, but
because of a rather sudden change
in plans, the date was shifted for
the benefit of all concerned.
Council Plans Laws
Revision of the Milne Constitu­
tion and plans for the Alumni Ball
were the main points of the dis­
cussion at the meeting of the Milne
Student Council which met Wed­
nesday, November 26.
Some parts of the Constitution
have become outdated and unused
through the years so the council is
amending and bringing the Consti­
tution up to date.
Alan Meskil, ’47, was appointed
chairman of the Alumni Bali com­
mittee. The date is still tentative,
but December 22nd and 26th are
being considered.

The Seventh Past and Present
December Seventh—-1941! Four years ago to­
day. Thousands of history books have been
made in these four years. It hasn’t all been
very pleasant history either. There are fourteen
gold stars in Milne for boys like Louis Austin
and Bob Bingham. The last thing in the world
that they ever though of was getting killed so
early in life. That wasn’t the reason that they
sweated through exams in Milne or why they
cheered our basketball team on every game or
why they were just plain ordinary Milnites like
you and me. They didn’t want war and so they
went out and did something about it. They
gave their lives while we had rationing, gave
blood, didn’t take the many trips that we were
used to taking, went to bond rallies, bought
bonds and stamps, gave both time and money
to the Red Cross, worked with the USO and
watched the thousands of war movies. We saw
trains and goodbyes. We saw our wounded—
we saw war.
<
This year is different. The goodbyes are get­
ting fewer and the hellos are increasing. We
look forward to a Christmas of peace, instead
of war. No, it isn’t all as bright as it could be—
there are strikes, civil riots and crime waves—all
the things that spoil our dream of a perfect
peace.
Seems like ages ago that we were attacked,
and that fairy tale of Pearl Harbor. Plenty
has happened since that time, and we’re glad
it’s over. Let’s take a few minutes off today
and consider how lucky we are. It may be
worth it.
*
Two weeks ago a few of the Senior boys had a
hayride. They journeyed from Slingerlands to Delmar.
The “brave” couples were: Peg Gallivan, Don Christie;
“Dune”, Dick Grace; Doris Long, John Knox; Carol
Spence, Bill Newton; Jay Price, “Mac”; Susie Camp,
Scott Hamilton; June Brooker and Dave Volmer.
“Herbie”, (better known as “Flit-Flit”) and his gal
made very able chaperones. Was it cold girls or
were your “Armstrong” heaters perculatin’?
“Arnie” made her first trip to New York over
Thanksgiving.
“Frankie” and “Jackie” were seen dancing at the
Circle with Ken Langwig, ’43, and Jim Detwiler, ’45.
Pete, Scott and his Old Man saw the RPI vs. BPI
game in Troy Saturday night.
Nancy Clarke, Walt Wilkins, Mary Jane Fiske, Bill
W’eek, Winnie and June Hauf were seen at the Music
Club Concert Monday night.
Shark Kerker, Ben Mendel and his heartthrob, John
Knox and Don Miller went to the VI Canteen Satur­
day night.
Carol Jacobs and Pvt. Walter Schneir went to the
movies Sunday night instead of Carol staying home
and studying her History for the Hearst Exam.
Jackie Mann and Marie Schmidt went to the Palace
Sunday night. (They loved that picture!)
Ann Graham, Dick O’Brien, Jan Paxton and Pete
Doherty tried their durndest to wreck Pete’s car
Sunday afternoon.
John Tanner took his little brother Paul sleigh­
riding Sunday. (His little brother is only two years
old too!)
Barbara Betham and Winnie Hauf had their six­
teenth birthdays last week and celebrated by having
a “bang-up” dinner party at the Hauf home on Satur­
day night. What a cake! Some of those attending
were Dick French, Diane Ostrander, Jack Gade, B. J.
Flanders, Frank Coburn, Ruth Ambler, Jess Barnet,
Nancy Bearup, Don Jarrett, Winnie, Derwent Angler,
Glada Appleton, John Taylor, Mabel Martin, Bob
Kelly, Carol Spence, “Buz” and Barbara.
, Ensign George Ferris, ’43, has been seen roaming
the halls of Milne lately . . . Home for Thanksgiving
from Geneseo was Jean Dorsey, ’44 . . . Cuyler
Thayer, Ex-’43, is taking
couple of courses at Milne
after receiving his Marine discharge . . . Joyce Stan­
ton, ’44, (Drink, as we remember her) had a party for
A. J. Rockenstyre, ’44, while the gang was home for
Thanksgiving . . . Returned to civilian life after an
Army career is Newell Cross, ’43 . . . Lt. Walt Gracje,

home from Okinawa is Dean Harding. ex-Milne . . .
Working in Myers are June Baily, ’44 and Janice
O’Connell, ’44 . . . Tom Dyer, ’44, is home for twelve
days .
. Ralph Manwiler, ’45, and Sandy Duncan,
’45, were seen tearing around Albany and surrounding
vicinity in Ralph’s car over Thanksgiving . . . We
hear A1 Bingham, ’44, plans to work for the State
until he leaves for Duke in March.
Frankie Kirk and Barbara Smith
Smittie has been a cheerleader
since her sophomore year and is
the co-captain this year. That’s not
all that she is noted for though.
She is president of Zeta Sigma
this year after doing a swell job
of vice-president last year. Treas­
urer of the Student Council, mem­
ber of GAA and the lead off in
senior play are a few more things
that keep her busy.
She likes life and people, (but
then, who doesn’t?) dogs, playing
the piano. “White Christmas” as
sung by the only and only Bing
Crosby. Strawberry shortcake rates
tops on her list.
Profanity is one of Smittie’s dis­
likes because as she says—quoteshows weakness of character—end
quote.
She hates liver, crowded
buses and cutting sarcasm.
The man has to be tall, have a
good sense of humor, considerate
and have a considerable amount of
sense. Sounds good, if you can find
one.
Between the Sigma girls’ never
coming to meetings and the cheer­
leaders never coming to practice,
Barbara, the author of the Snuff
Box, is slowly going stir crazy, but
she does a darned good job of any­
thing she puts her fist it.
Kirkie is the other half of the
co-cheerleading captains and goes
just as stir crazy.
She entered
Milne in the Seventh grade and life
began then (?). She is Mistress
of Ceremonies of Sigma, is writing
the class will with A. K. Knox and
Becky Bates and writes “Off the
Record” for the C & W (when it’s
on time). Last, but not least, she’s
been president, of the dramatics club
since she was a sophomore.
Frankie’s ideal man must be taller
than she. nice, smiley grey eyes,
nice teeth and hands, has to like
to dance and be able to laugh, fairly
athletic, easy to. get along with and,
above all, if he thinks he’s John
Pin-up boy, he’s no good! If he
is in the Navy, it helps.
For a few likes we have THE
NAVY (and Paratroops, in case her
brother reads this), cars and the
usual school outfit of sloppy loafers,
long shirts, etc.
She dislikes black shoes and bare
legs, squash and kids who crab
When they get 97 instead of 99.
(Ditto—I said it and I’m glad!)

BEAT KEVENY TONIGHT !
Milne to Play Opener
On Cohoes Court Tonight
Seniors Will Hold
Main Team Places/
Squad Not Defined
The first basketball game of the
season for the Milne team will take
place against Keveny Academy of
Cohoes at Cohoes tonight.
Coach Hathaway has not picked
the first string but it’s a sure thing
that seniors will dominate the team.
Don Christie and Pete Hunting will
probably start at forward positions
while Bob French is fighting for
a guard position.
Don Howard,
transfer from an upstate school, will
most likely start at center.
Keveny opened its basketball sea­
son last Friday night and they got
off to a very poor start. They were
badly beaten by Cohoes High by
a score of 45 to 12. This means
that the Crimson and White squad
should have a fair chance of win­
ning if they spark a good offense
because Keveny seems to have a
low scoring team.
Pete Hunting remarked that this
year’s team has got a tremendous
schedule but should be on the win­
ning side of a majority of the games.
The Milne boys will journey to
New York City to play Manhasset
of Long Island on December 14.
They will return Saturday because
the first home game is with Watervliet on December 15.
Cheerleaders Preview
Cheers; Response Weak
“Fight, Team, Fight!” were_ the
shouts heard at the assemblies, both
junior and senior high, in Page Hall
on Tuesday. November 27.
The Senior High cheerleaders,
captained by Barbara Smith and
Frankie Kirk, donned their gray
skirts and white sweaters to give
a preview of the various cheers to
familiarize the students wth them.
It seems that the students need
much practice, for the cheers were
very feeble. Among the cheers was
a new (?) fight song which seemed
to go over in a big way. (Could
it be that we know it?)
The senior high cheerleaders that
will be cheering Milne on to victory
this year are Eve Morgan, Jackie
Pfeiffer, Ann Graham, Rosada Marston, Ruth Weil, Winnie Hauf, and
Jan Paxton.
Meanwhile at the junior high
assembly, the junior high cheer­
leaders were going through the
cheers to familiarize the seventh
graders and other new students
with Milne cheers. The Jayvee will
be ably cheered on by Janet Kilby,
Lorraine Walker, Laura Lee Pax­
ton, Barbara Leete, Doris Long and
Nancy Simmons.
Hi-Y to Initiate
Senior High Boys
Following a recent assembly,
Scott Hamilton, ’46, president of the
Hi-Y association in Milne, extended
an invitation to all Senior High boys
interested in joining, to come and
observe a meeting on the night of
November 28. Those who appeared
were mainly sophomores. They in­
cluded, Clayton Besch, Jack Rickels,
Bob Leslie, Bob Abernathy, and Bill
Lucas.
Because of a late basketball prac­
tice, however, not all the new
pledgees could manage to attend.
The rest of this group came to the
meeting on December 5 at the
Y.M.C.A.
President Hamilton hopes to have
the informal initiation in about two
weks. The planning committee for
the association plans to have a small
party following the initiation. The
date for the formal installation of
the new members will be announ­
ced at a later date.
This year’s officers include Peter
Hunting, vice-president; Don How­
ard, secretary, and Frank Belleville,
treasurer.
State College Student
Talks About Indians
Miss Mary Seymour, State Col­
lege, described the various customs
and rituals of the Apache Indians
to the Ninth Grade English clasees.
Miss Seymour, who lived on
Indian reservations until she was
fourteen years old, told of various
Apache rituals and the plight of the
Indian in America.
The dance which all the young
Indian men must perform in order
to become chieftains, particularly
appealed to the ninth grade boys.
A gruesome chtickle went around
the room when Miss Seymour told
of the braves tearing out their flesh.

New Type Play
The freshman English classes are
producing their own plays to comply
with their study of dramatics. The
first play they have done is from a
new book, “Plays Without Foot­
lights” edited by Esther E. Gal­
braith. called “The Happy Journey
to Trenton and Camden” by Thorn­
ton Wilder.
This play is done in Shakespearian
style tor it does not have props
and leaves all scenery to the
imagination of the audience.
Each of the four English 9 classes
have produced this same play with
their own cast, stage manager and
producer.
The cast of Miss Mary Seymour’s
class is: Max Kirby, Nancy McMann; Elmer, Lou Carr; Arthur,
Nick Chura; Caroline, Joan Horton;
Beulah. Dorothy Blessing. Producer
and manager of this class play is
Art Stoddard.
The cast of Miss Rose Beidl’s
class is: Ma Kirby, Alice Cohen;
Elmer, Roger Haggerty; Arthur,
David Siegal; Caroline, Joyce Hallett; Beulah, Pat Costello, and Stage
Manager and Producer is Gifford
Barry.
Ma Kirby, Alice Houck; Elmer,
Jim Clark; Arthur, Larry Coffin;
Caroline, Marjorie Norton; Beulah,
Jackie Urbach, with Anne Carlough as producer and Warren
Rickels as stage manager makes up
the cast of the class of Miss Mar­
jorie Worsley.
Miss Jane Becker’s class consists
of: Ma Kirby, Barbara White; Elmer.
Spencer Cooper; Arthur, Ray
Cairns; Caroline, Betty Carothers;
Beulah, Nancy Schonbrouin; pro­
ducers, Jim Panton and Stage Man­
ager, Herb Goldstein.
Ufie
SNUFF BOX
The weather has now chased
everyone inside and the hockey
sticks and balls have been put away
for another year. Basket balls and
volley balls are pouring out of the
closets and the dust is being shaken
out of the nets. All-in-all, we’ve
started our indoor period.
Basketball practice is being held
every Wednesday and Friday after­
noon and Senior High School mem­
bers are urged to come. A varsity
team will soon be picked from the
group that attends so anyone who
is interested had better come and
“do their stuff.”
The freshman
team is getting way ahead of every­
body else and they have really been
in there digging.
The gym classes are learning how
to reduce (not the Ry-Krisp way)
by doing numerous exercises which
are guaranteed to influence the fig­
ure in a very short time. The gym
floor gets mopped each day as the
girls lie panting and breathless on
it trying to regulate the pounds.
Volley ball has found its way
into the schedule of the classes and
is slowly becoming more than mere­
ly a free-for-all. Since the teams
have been abiding by the rules of
the game, it has become a lot more
fun.
Now that the snow is on the
ground and winter has honestly set
in. it won’t be long before the skiing
class is organized. The number of
times one must go in order to ob­
tain a letter will be determined
later according to the weather. It
will probably be either ten or fifteen
times so now is the time to start.
Skating will also be possible soon
and, like skiing, will require ten or
fifteen trips to get a letter.

Lee Dennis Shows Milne Students
Palestine Objects Speak On Radio
Lee Dennis, ’49, donated an ex­
hibit of hand-carved figures from
Palestine for the showcase on the
first floor. Lee was born in Los
Angeles, California, and has lived
in Syria for thirteen years. He re­
turned to the U. S. at the beginning
of his freshman year. His father,
Dr. E. W. Dennis, is a research
bacteriologist with the Winthrop
Chemical Company.
Brought From Palestine
The exhibit consists of figurines
and other articles, all of which
Dennis brought over with him from
Palestine.
The figurines are typical of the
peasantry and laboring classes in
and around Jerusalem. A market
scene is very prominent in the
middle foreground. Some of the
townsfolk are bargaining over the
price to be paid and some are bring­
ing their produce to the market in
donkey and camel trains. Every­
thing is carried on the head except
burdens carried by donkeys or
camels.
In the x'ight corner is a Christmas
scene of the manger in the stable
and the wise men bring gifts to the
Christ Child. In the left hand corner
are cattle, sheep, horses and don­
keys grazing and a man to one side
is plowing the field.
Other Articles Also Exhibited
Other articles which Dennis lent
to the school to be exhibited are:
a Persian saddle bag. Palestine
basket, Persian cup and saucer,
hand-carved camels, peasant dolls
and shoes and a cartridge and case.
The figurines were made by
skilled wood carvers from Europe,
who are now living in Palestine.
The exactness of their work in
carving and painting these figurines
is outstanding.

Christmas vacation then begins—
believe it or not . . .
By Bunnie
Victor steps forward, bows po­
litely, and lays before our feet a
few tunes well worth surveying.
Those which catch our gleam imme­
diately are from recent hit shows
and movies. Perhaps topping the
list is the recording everyone has
been asking for — Hoagy Car­
michael’s “Hong Kong Blues” with
Tommy Dorsey furnishing the or­
chestra and Skeets Herfurt the
vocal. This sad tale of woe is well
done in the same memorable style
that Hoagy Carmichael used in the
film “To Have and To Have Not”.
On the flip-over is an old hit all
dressed up. Stuart Foster vocalizes
“You Came Along” from the picture
of the same name.
Also in the category of possible
hits is the Sammy Kaye, Nancy
Norman version of “I Can’t Begin
To Tell You’ with Billy Williams
and the Five Kaydets doing “What
Makes the Sunset’ on the other side.
A novelty number well worth a
moment of inspection is the Sons of
the Pioneers in “Cool Water”. This,
to my mind (what mind?) is one
of the most appealing arrangements
of a really thirsty number I’ve heard
in a week of Sundays. On the re­
verse is “Stars and Stripes On Iwo
Jima Isle”, something of a letdown
after “Cool Water”.
Symphony No. 29 in A major K,
201 Symphony No. 34 in C major K,
338 Mozart, Boston Symphony Or­
chestra under the direction of Serge
Koussevitzky, Victor DM—795, $5.00.
Lasting about sixteen or seventeen
minutes apiece these two little sym­
phonies of Mozart are little gems
of construction, melody and appeal.
Compact yet ingeniously fluent and
witty, these two works of a young
Mozart will never equal the last
three symphonies in importance yet
their very presence in concert halls
today is enough to speak for them.
Juniors Discuss
Dues and Play
Dues and plays were the main
topics for discussion at the second
junior class meeting of the year
held on Monday, November 26 in
the auditorium. President Don Jarrett presided.
A Junior Class Financial Commit­
tee was set up by the class. This
committee will attend to the spend­
ing of the funds. The committee
consists of Betty Jane Flanders.
Mable Martin. Bob Kelly, and
Frank Coburn.
The question of either a fifty
cents a month dues or a ten cents
a week dues was under heavy dis­
cussion. It was finally decided that
a ten cent dues would be easier for
each person to pay.
The class also decided to produce
a class play soon after Christmas
vacation.
The Crimson and White wishes
to express sincerest sympathies
to Barbara Doran, ’46, for the
passing of her father, John E.
Doran, in the hospital on Dec. 4.
