During Vacation
“Les vacances sont fini” as the
French so aptly put it and we, in
English, reluctantly agree that va­
cation is over, but dennitely. Asiae
from all the big holiuay uoin's in­
cluding the- parties, the extra' (?)
sleep, and New Year’s isve, there
are those few Milnites who aesevve
the medal of honor or somethin'.
They workea!! Not many, mina
you, but enough (I hope) to hit up
a column for the C & W and also
try to make the rest of us ieel
bitterly remorseful ana bitterly
broke. What a task!!
f lorists Employed Some
As the senior class is considered
the zenith by these little seventh
graders, we shall, for their sake,
begin with the seniors. Most oi ihe
boys incluaing bhll Bull, Scott
Hamilton, Gene St. Louis, Dicx
Grace and Larry Clarke warned for
Albany florists and coulu be seen
from time to time rushing around
downtown, some on foot, the luckier
ones in trucks. Jan Paxton came
up now anu then from beoina Lhe
counter in Whitney’s to flash a big
smile, while Joan Morrison, Nancy
Abernethy, and Rosada Marston
slaved diligently over the financial
status of John G. Myers in the
credit office. Carol Jacobs sold ties
to Eugene St. Louis for Larry
Clarke’s father at Myron’s. Bill Mc­
Donough helped keep the trains
rolling over the holiday, working
for the New York Central. Sweat
job! Jerry Wolfgang could be seen
talking things ov£r with the big
financiers at the National Com­
mercial Bank here in Albany.
Railroad Mail Used Others
As for the junior class, it is easy
to see how they suffered after the
vacation’s strenuous schedule. I’ve
searched high and low and found
only a handful of workers (?).
Heading the list is Alan Meskil who
went to work at twelve ’ midnight
just so you could get a Christmas
card from that certain person. A1
will tell you that Railway Mail is
a “long-standing” job. Among the
girls were Nancy Bearup who did
her bit to keep Myers’ credit office
in shape. Margie Bookstein sold
ties to returning veterans while
Pat Snyder kept things going at
Flah’s. Harvey Dwight was in there
helping his pop in the oil business
while the rest of the gang just had
a good time.
Few Sophs Worked
From out of the sophomores’ fry­
ing pan there emerges just one
(that’s all I could find) lone em­
ployee. She is Ruth Danzig who
started to work at David’s after
much
trouble
getting
working
papers. That is all for the hard­
working sophomores. Freshmen??
Guess they’re too young. Or are
they??

Barbara Smith, who plays Eileen; Bill Bull, who portrays Appopolous
the Greek; Betty Bates, who is Ruth, the gal who “makes” the play;
and Bill McDonough, who also has a leading role in the form of

Schuyler Student Juniors Discuss
Wins in Oratory Plans for Year
Anne Norgrove, a student at
Schuyler High School, won first
place in the Annual Oratorical
Elimination Contest for Albany
County. This event was sponsored
by the American Legion.
Second place was won by Robert
Beames of Vincentian Institute,
third place by James J. Gervin of
Christian Brothers Academy and
fourth place by Joseph Harris of
Albany High School.
The program was conducted as a
special senior high school assembly
program on Friday, January 4, in
Page Hall. Points were awarded
each contestant by a group of
judges, for delivery, contents of
speech, etc. The judges were Mr.
Eugene Freel, Milne School, Mrs.
Gerald Cummings, Bethlehem Cen­
tral High School, and Hon. Edward
G. Rogan, Surrogate Court Judge.
Miss Norgrove, the winner, is a
senior at Schuyler High School.
She is active in many activities,
one of the main ones being the
Verse Choir.
After winning this contest, Miss
Norgrove will represent Albany
County at the district competition
at Catskill.
Donald Jarrett, president of the
junior class, announced that the
class rings have been ordered. This
order is to be filled by June of
this year. The Junior Blazer Com­
mittee and a junior play are also
a large part of junior business.
The rings were ordered from
Dieges and Clust, of New York
City.
Upon payment of a three
dollar deposit the order was sent in.
The juniors had a choice of onyx,
pearl, gold, red, or blue. The major­
ity of the girls are ordering pearl
settings, while most of the boys
seem to prefer onyx.
The style of the rings is very
plain, and is similar to those of
this year’s seniors, the class of ’46.
They contain the numerals on each
side and have the Milne seal in the
center.
The Blazer Committee of the
junior class has also been busy.
Honigsbaum’s has agreed to make
up a sample jacket in red with a
white piping. The girls are also
trying to get the school seal in red
and white to go on the pocket.
The juniors are also starting work
on a class play.
The cast of the Senior Play, “My
Sister Eileen,” is putting the finish­
ing touches on the production in
preparation for January 19th, the
date of presentation.
The doors
will open .at seven o’clock with
curtain time at eight. .
The entire company in the order
of appearance is as follows: Mr.
Appopolous, Bill Bull; Eileen, Bar­
bara Smith; Ruth, Betty Bates;
Jensen, Serge Siniapkin; the Ad­
miral, Bill Weed; the Drunk, Ray
Blanchard; Lonnigan (The Cop),
Scott Hamilton; “Wreck”, Eugene
St. Louis; Helen, Sally Duncan;
Frank Lippencott, Bill McDonough;
Chick Clark, Dick Grace; Mrs.
Wade, Nancy Woolfolk; Admirals,
Jack Milton, Bill Newton, Ken
Mosher; Mr. Baker, Phil Stoldard;
Mr. Sherwood, Dave Vollmer; the
Woman, Eve Morgan; Brazilian
Consul, Jack Underwood.
A report from the ticket commit­
tee headed by Carol Jacobs,, dis­
closed that the sales are progressing
favorably. Student tickets have now
been issued and a new plan incor­
porated to stimulate sales. Each day
a number will be drawn from the
student tickets sold and the person
holding this number will get his
money back. “Buy your ticket early
and maybe you’ll be one of the
lucky ones.”
From the costume committee
comes the complaint that unusual
outfits are unavailable.
Margaret
Quinn, the chairman, said that un­
less they can be found soon, it will
necessitate securing them from New
York costumers.
As for props, the individual play­
ers have been instructed to bring
their own. Thg. securing of other
equipment is under the superviTon
of Peg Gallivan.
Get Well Quick
It seems like most everybody has
given in to the flu or the grippe
and even pneumonia. Poor Milne
and the poor Crimson and White
are having a time “sweating” out
the many absences of our pals. The
sympathies of the school and the
newspaper are extended to all kids
that are still spending their time
in bed.

Pass Vour Paper Along
“The reason that I brought up this side of
the situation is due to a discussion we had last
night.
The subject gradually drifted to the
sending of periodicals and newspapers and
especially magazines, papers, etc. from former
schools we had attended. The discussion went
pretty rough for awhile but gradually we all
got together and agreed that they were the
perfect morale builder, next to receiving per­
sonal mail.
“I guess you can gather from what I have
written that I do enjoy the Crimson and White
and I do look forward to reading each edition
as it arrives.’’
When the Crimson and White comes out,
don’t simply read it yourself and then throw
it away. It can be much more worthwhile to
someone else.
Send it on to your brother,
or your friends. If you know the address of
more than one person who would care to
receive a copy, see any of the Crimson and
White editors and they will see to it that you
get an extra copy for that person.

Jackie Pfeiffer and Sally Duncan
Jack crashed Milne in her junior
year in tne now tamed “Blue
bomber’ . In such a short time she
has become well liked by all and
Bcmber”. In such a short time she
borm in Buffalo, attended Riverside
High School there for two years,
ano came to Albany in August,
1944.
Her certain sailor tops Jack’s list
of likes; some more are parties,
dancing, sports in general, Taborton,
i\ew York City, and fender-benders.
A few of her dislikes are certain
sea-foods, A.K.’s, crowded buses ano
oack-seat drivers.
THE man has to be fairly tall,
wavy hair, blue eyes, (she thinks)
gees by the name of Hiram and
must be in the Navy.
Jack has had a very vivid past,
such as wading in Allen Street at
4 a. m., unmentionables, long rides
to Poughkeepsie, (we’re still apol­
ogizing, Peg) and trying to fire a
double-barrel shotgun, (Browman’s
Pond is very wet).
J.P.’s favorite songs are “Let It
Snow” and “It’s Been a Long, Long
Time”.
Our gullible friend just screams
out, “I can’t stand it” when any­
thing unusual occurs, and the only
other thing she says is “Hiram,
Puleeze!!”
Dune was hern in the Brady
Maternity Hospital and it took her
a long, long time to grow up, as
all the Seniors remember.
,
Remember her Buster Brown
haircut in the seventh grade and
how she protested against junior
high students reading “Drums Along
the Mohawk’ ? Now she promotes
“Forever Amber”.
Dune loves week-ends and hates
week-days. Also, Gallivan’s sun
porch is a great place for F.I.U.
Sally’s ideal man must be a mem­
ber of Theta-Nu- 6' 2", brown wavy
hair, blue eyes, and known by the
name of “Hubby”.
Her favorite song is “Symphony”
but she doesn’t especially care what
song it is as long as that certain
piano player plays it.
She entered Sigma in her sopho­
more year and never goes to meet­
ings.
Dune, (or Niece Sally) is liked by
all and doesn’t get in the way. Like
I Jackie, she bounces.

To Tally Fourth Conquest
Howard Is Highest;
Milne, Schuyler
Meet Tomorrow
Hunting and Christie
Take Scoring Honors
A fighting Cathedral team fought
a losing battle, Tuesday, December
18, against the Milne Five when
they lost 38 to 31 on Page Hall
court.
With the addition of George McCarg to the Cathedral roster, the
Dickleman-coached squad seemed
to have a better spirit than that
shown in their previous games.
McCarg played the complete game
and played well on the defensive. He
can only play in non-league games
because of his age.
The game started with Don How­
ard scoring on his own tip-off with
Christie and Hunting collaborating.
At the point, Cathedral bottled up
the center position and Howard was
pinned in. At the end of the first
quarter, Milne had grabbed a 12-5
lead.
The second was slow moving with
neither team being able to puli
away from his opposing team. The
end of the first half shewed Milne
having a 19 to 14 advantage.
Cathedral started the third quar­
ter by sinking three shots, giving
them a one-point lead. Joe McCade, Cathedral center, sparked a
third quarter oifensive which scored
nine points. Milne managed, how­
ever, to end the third quarter in
front by the narrow margin of
26-25.
Scott Hamilton intercepted a pass
and scored a layup shot at the be­
ginning of the fourth quarter. Pete
Hunting took advantage of weak,
defense to score eight points. The
Milne squad was never again seri­
ously troubled and won 38 to 31.
High scorer for Milne was Howard
with nine points, with Christie and
Hunting each sinking eight points.
However, the high scorer for the
game was McCade with nineteen
points.
Frank Belleville, trainer, remarked
after seeing the Milne boys win an
impressive victory against Watervliet, “I am of the opinion that our
boys will swamp Philip Schuyler.”

Milne is to meet Schuyler to­
morrow night, Saturday, in what
promises to be a grand game on
the Milne home court.
Milne hasn’t had too much luck
v/ith the Falcons during the last
nve years. In 1941 the Red Raiders
played Schuyler twice and were
beaten both times, 39-37 and 34-30.
In 1942 the Milne squad under
Coach Boycheff did not play the
Falcons.
However, in 1943 Milne and
Schuyler clashed again and Milne
lost the first, 36-27. This loss was
offset by Milne winning the second,
42-40, in an overtime thriller.
In 1943-44 Milne, with Coach
Tanno at the reins, lost the first
game with Schuyler and won the
away game by the one-sided score
of 53-30. That year Milne started
very poorly and then won seven
straight victories. It was in that
same year that Milne placed second
in the city league, bowing only to
CBA.
Last year Milne didn’t play
Schuyler.
Schuyler’s record this year does
not add up to an impressive figure.
They have won only one game.
Their latest defeat was on Friday,
January 4, when Schuyler bowed
to the Mechanicville team, 32-8.
All the facts seem to point to
another Milne victory tomorrow
night, a victory which should be
doubly relished in view of the
previous debit side relationship.
Milne Included In
International League
Milne and Rensselaer comprise
the only two teams in both leagues
to be undefeated so far this season.
The Capital District Scholastic bas­
ketball leagues are divided into four
divisions for the 1945-1946 season.
The two most important leagues
concerning Albany city are the
American and the International
Leagues.
The Albany schools included in
the American League are Christian
Brothers Academy, Vincentian In­
stitute, Albany Academy for Boys,
and Albany High School. At the
present time the leading school in
this league is Vincentian followed
by Albany High, C.B.A. and Acad­
emy.
Few league contests have
taken place so far and more games
are scheduled for this week-end.
Milne is included in the Interna­
tional League. Other schools are
Philip Schuyler, Rensselaer High
School, and Bethlehem Central High
School. No contests between Milne
and these schools have taken place
yet, but a game with Schuyler is
scheduled for tomorrov* night at
Page Hall Gym.

SNUFF BOX
January 4 found many Milne
alumna wandering through the halls
at 3:30. Many of them were herded
into the Big Gym to play a basket­
ball game against the seniors.
Dressed in borrowed gym suits and
sneakers, some of which really
fit, “Pete” Peterson, Jean Dor­
sey, “Dick” Richardson, and “Phil”,
assisted by Joan Austin, and Glada
Appleton, represented the Alumna.
“Kilby”, “Arnie”, “Gaga”, along
with "Fletch” and “Marty’ gallant­
ly held up the name of the seniors.
No score to the game was kept, but
there was no question as to who
won. “Pete” and “Dorsey” certainly
haven’t forgotten how to play bas­
ketball for they streaked down the
court to the basket and popped in
one ball after the other. Although
the seniors played a good game,
they had a hard time keeping up
with the graduates.
The recent thaw has scared
everyone away from ice skating and
skiing except Phebe, who faithfully
invades the Helderbergs each week­
end to keep in trim. Joan Morrison
and Elinor Mann have been tread­
ing the icy waters and doing a If.tle
skating, but the weather has also
made this rather risky.
Bowling classe; at Rice’s Bowling
Alley began this week and will be
held on Mondays and Thursdays.
People will be expected to know
all the rules of scoring and attend
at least fifteen of the classes.
On Saturday, the 15th, there will
be a meeting of all the physical
trainers from this area to plan
future basketball playdays. This
will mean that Milne will really
have to get down to work and
choose a varsity team.
The Bausch and Lomb Optical
Company of Rochester, New York,
each year offers an Honorary
Science Award to the graduating
student with the highest merit in
science courses including biology,
chemistry and physics. This year
the award is supplemented with a
scholarship to Rochester University
which may be obtained by compet­
ing for the five annual scholarships
to that university.
The Milne student to obtain this
honor is to be decided by Dr. Carleton E. Moose and other members of
the faculty. Dr. Moose said con­
cerning this award, “If I could find
someone who is interested in going
to the University of Rochester, I
think that I would be inclined to
recommend to Dr. Frederick that
this student be given the chance
for the scholarship instead of the
highest honor student.” Anyone in­
terested in this $1,500 scholarship is
requested to get in touch with Dr.
Moose.
The honorary Science Award is
to be awarded at graduation. The
award is an embossed plaque.
The competition is open to stu­
dents in over 3,000 high and pre­
paratory
schools,
including the
Milne School. This Award was
established in 1932 but Milne has
not entered because it is a Milne
policy not to enter into commercial
award competitions. This year the
Bausch and Lomb Optical Com­
pany cooperated with the University
of Rochester in awarding both the
Science Award and the scholarship.
The sole purpose of both the
medals and the scholarships is to
heighten the interest of students
in scientific careers. The scholar­

Fifth Alumni Ball
The fifth Annual Alumni Ball was
what everyone hoped it would be,
a huge success. It was held in the
Page Hall Gymnasium from 9 p. m.
to 1 a. m. on December 22, 1945.
The decorations were kept to the
season with a Christmas tree and
mistletoe, both in prominent places.
Around the dance floor were tables
with decorated candles.
From the count taken from the
guest book sixty-eight alumni were
there, although many got by with­
out signing. They dated back to
the class of ’39 and went up to the
class of ’48.
The guest book list read: Carl H..

CRIMSON AND WHITE
Seated ^ Milne Freshman
By FRANKIE
Prince Valiant
Moe is starred as blond Aleta
In that part no one could beata’.
To play Prince Valiant, who’d
give her all?
Becky’s hair is exact, but she’s
twice as tall!
The Lone Ranger
Since David V. collects the dues
All his friends he did lose,
In our midst he is a stranger
Poor Vollmer’s now the Lone
Ranger!
Freckles and His Friends
He has a shape like Lard
But he sure is a card
He’s toujour merry
That’s our boy Gerry!
Mr. and Mrs.
One night at Hauf’s
For the sake of laughs
Bill and Dick, with bashful kisses,
Blissfully became Mr. and Mrs.!
Penny
. We all know Carol Spence
Who’s name could rhyme with
pence,
But since something has to rhyme
with Penny—
Shall we say her hair is henny?
Talk About China
The Debate Team of the ninth
grade met with the ninth grade
team of Philip Livingston Junior
High School on Wednesday, January
5th, in an assembly program.
The subject ot the debate was,
Resolved: rhe United States should
interfere with the internal affairs
of China. Philip Livingston pre­
sented the affirmative and Milne
took the negative.
The debaters from Milne were
Lee Denis, Roger Hagerty and David
Siegal. The visiting team consisted
of Jerome Fox, George Ginsberg,
and Richard Cowin. Rebuttles were
given by Roger Hagerty and Richard
Cowin. Marilyn Aker was general
chairman for the event.
Each speaker was allowed four
minutes to present his argument
and no decision was given.
“The speakers were very good and
their voices clear. Their speeches
were well thought out,” said Mari­
lyn Aker, the chairman.
Students See Relics
Miss Yvonne Bouleo of State Col­
lege showed a collection of Revolu­
tionary War relics to a class of
seventh graders. The relics were
found while digging in the cellar
of her heme on Lake George.
Among the items found were
bullet molds, tomahawks, a cannon
ball, powder horns and several
coins of that time.
One of the most interesting items,
the cannon ball, showed teeth marks
where the soldiers used them to
bite. This was because they had
no anesthetics to relieve the pain.
IN SYMPATHY
The Crimson and White and the
student body extend their sympathy
to Dr. Robert W. Frederick on the
passing of his father, Peter Frederick,
of Elmhurst, West Virginia.
n&ach and ^Boogie
By DICK GRACE
Two of the most popular selling
songs are recorded on one record.
Freddy Martin does a wonaerful
job on “Symphony”. This song is
outselling every other song in the
country. It was brought over from
France where it also had a long
popularity stand. On the side ox
this disc is the novelty song “In the
Middle of May”.
Monroe Makes Hit
The most popular, winter-time
song of the current season is “Let
It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow”
waxed by Vaughn Monroe and his
popular band. It is a slick Monroe
vei'sion with the Singing Maestro
and the Nortons joining on the
vocal. The song has what it takes
and Vaughn Monroe gives it that
extra something. The flip-over is
“When the Sandman Rides the
Trail”.
Seme of the brand new songs
have just been released by RCAVictor. They are “Dig You Later”
or (“Hubba, Hubba, Hubba” to you)
with the Satisfiei’s and Perry Como
on the other side. Peri’y Como does
the sentimental ballad, “Hei'e Comes
Heaven Again” from the movie,
“Dell Face”. Shep Fields and his
new music gives his rendition of
“The Next Time I Care, I’ll Be
Careful” with “It’s Dawn Again” on
the “B” side.
The Boston “Pop” Orchestra con­
ducted by Arthur Fieldlei- has re­
leased another popular classic. It
is the “Hallalujah Chorus” from
“Messiah” by Handel. It is a stirring
and spirited performance coupled
with a zestful intei’pretation of the
“War Mai’ch of the Priests” from
Mendelssohn’s “Atholie”.
The famous “Nutcracker Suite”
by Tchaikovsky has been recorded
by the Philadelphia Orchestra under
the baton of Eugene Ormondy. This
ballet suite, based on the beloved
Hoffman Fairy Tale, comes as a
timely release.
