HURRY HOME!
WeYe very sory to hear of the
illness of “Gay” Appleton, a
member of the Crimson and
White staff. We miss her smile
and humor around school and
hope that s he’ll soon be well
again. Hurry back, Gay!
The junior class of Milne will
present the movie, “Top Hat” with
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers,
Saturday evening, May 4 in Page
Hall. The show will start at 8:15;
tickets will be sold at the door.
At the last class meeting of the
juniors, it das decided to present
some kind of entertainment to pro­
vide funds for the class treasury.
A committee decided upon a feature
for the evening. The committee
consists of Marjorie Bookstein,
chairman; Glada Appleton, Barbara
Betham, Gates Barnet, John Taylor,
and Franzl Mohling. With the help
of Dr. Hendrickson, the committee
chose a list of top features in re­
cent years with “Top Hat” heading
the list. They decided upon “Top
Hat” and a cartoon short. The com­
mittee is planning for several addi
tional shorts.
“Top Hat” was headliner several
years ago when Fred Astaire was
at the peak of his career. Ginger
Rogers, the leading lady, displays
her talent in typical style, character­
istic of her movie career.
This
Astaire-Rogers motion picture is an
example of the musical comedy so
popular during the last few years.
With the use of the new movie
projector, the film appears in pro­
fessional style.
Several other committees are:
Chairman of the Ticket Committee,
Barbara Betham, with assistance
from Ruth Ambler, Joan Clark,
Sally Gaus and Ruth Weil. The
Poster Committee, headed by Bar­
bara Leslie, includes: Ellen Fletcher,
Lois Prescott and Marie Schmitt.
The sale of tickets in the indi­
vidual homerooms is in charge of
the ticket committees. The seventh
grade representatives, Lois Tewell,
127; Ann Bruce, 329; Beverly Ball,
226, and responsible to Sally Gaus,
333. Judy Horton, 233; June Hauf,
324; Joan Austin, 130. Eighth grade
homeroom representatives are
headed by B. J. Flanders. Joan
Clark, in charge of the ninth grade
is being assisted by Lois Bingham,
336; Marcia Armstrong, Art Room;
Janet Kilby, 321. Ruth Weil heads
the sophomore class whose repre­
sentatives are: Jean Fausel, 126,
Shirley Tainter, 135; and Nancy
McAllister, 320. The twelfth grade
representatives, Nancy Bonsall, 228;
Janet McNeil, "327; and Carol
Jacobs, 230 are responsible to Ruth
Ambler. Barbara Betham heads the
complete affair.
Margie Bookstein, general chair­
man, stated: “The junior class has
wonked hard to present a good en­
tertainment to the school.
“Everyone has cooperated very
well and has really tried to make
the show a success. I want to thank
all those who have helped on che
committee to make this possible.”

which goes for high school enjoyment. These
staff members are just like you.
They want
the paper to be a success just as you do, but
if they didn’t, they certainly wouldn’t waste
their afternoons up in the C. & W. office.
Therefore if we have the support of the writers,
why can’t we have the support of the whole
school? You who feel that the paper has noth­
ing to do with you, that you have no direct
interest in it, are barking up the wrong tree.
We want you to be pleased just as much as
the next fellow so that when you have a gripe,
you can let us know about it.
We are all
human and so for that very reason, we want
to know when we let YOU down.
There are many changes.
Yet, without
some kind of change a paper can never hope
to grow.
It is the new staff’s true desire to'
advance in such a way that there can be no
question next year at Columbia of the victor.

JANET PAXTON
As our Spotlight shines on our
retiring editor, Janet Paxton, it ap­
pears dim compared to the reflec­
tion from so bright a personality
as her’s.
We find that Jan was born in
Kansas City in the year of 1928.
Not long after, her beautiful blue
eyes opened wine enough to see
tne beauties of the east. She dis­
regarded tne words of the Great
Horace Greely and came east to
Albany. Ever seexing the best, it
was only natural she should choose
Milne as her high school Alma
Mater.
As a sophomore she became an
active member of the Crimson and
white staff. Her work was so out­
standing that in the following year
she was named Junior Associate
Editor, which served as her step­
ping stone to the honored position
of Editor-in-Chief.
To most of us it would seem that
being editor would be a full time
job, but not to our vivacious Jan
Paxton. Somewhere in the day she
has found time for sports. As we
glance at the records we find that
she was a member of the varsity
basketball team during her junior
and senior years while participat­
ing in baseball and hockey. In her
freshman and senior years we found
her an active member of the cheer­
leading squad.
The old saying goes “people never
entirely forget their mother coun­
try”, was proved once more as she
made her choice of an ideal man
to be the long, lanky type, which
is so evident in the western plains.
’Tis said, “ne of this type may be
wearing the Navy blue”. Jan tilso
specifies her “man” must have a
lot of get-up-and-go but she hopes
he won’t.
Her dislikes are few, the two
greatest being “The Eyes and The
Ears oi; The World” on the Para­
mount news film; the other is fried
tomatoes.
Among her various likings are:
the Chinese, and printers’ ink (isn’t
she tired of that, yet?).
Jan plans to follow in her father’s
footsteps. He’s head of the Asso­
ciated Press in Albany.

Richard W. Paland, ’39, has been
awarded one of the Navy’s highest
honors, the Navy Cross, for his
heroic action in the low level tor­

and made for the bus, but quick!
Over vacation bowling was in
the spotlight. The juniors and the
sophomores played on a mixed
team. Joan Clark outshone them
all with a score of 135.
“Red”
Austin packed a solid 139 in her
third attempt at the game.
At last, softball is here, or at
least a reasonable facimile. April
24th marked the first day of the
season. The seniors started out with
a peppy class game. Jackie Pfeiffer
was right on her toes on first base.
The ball was pitched, making a hit.
The batter quickly ran to first base,
but, to her surprise, there was no
first baseman. She looked around,
and there was first baseman, Jackie,
running as fast as possible to second
base.
Mrs. Tiezsen has posted the In­
tramural Schedule. Badminton is
featured on every day but Friday.
Bowling is still on Mondays, Wed­
nesdays and Thursdays. Senior
Archery and Softball for the
seventh and eighth graders com­
pletes the picture for Monday.
Tennis will be on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. Our beginners’ archery
class is on Wednesday night as well
as softball. Don’t forget that swim­
ming will be on Thursday nights.
Only archery and softball are held
on Friday nights; while riding will
resume on Saturday mornings.

Dear Joe and Josie Milnite:
Well spring has finally come, or
so the song writers seem to think,
’cause they ve suhaenly burst forth
witn a big stack of new songs to
reMly sec you singin’! A tour of
me recoru centers nas proved this.
The hrst thing I ran across was
a Golumoia I’ecoraing of Frank
oinatra's "Full Moon and Empty
Arms”, taken iram Rachmaninoff's
oecona Concerto, a numoer you’ve
oeen hearing quite a bit ot late,

who really puts it over. If you’re
m a sentimental mood, you 11 enjoy
mis; it you’re not, it will see that
you get into one.
Next came the Andrews Sisters
swinging along with “Coax Me a
Tittle Bit” ana on the turnover,

The former is a
cute, catchy little tune, bound to
stay with you lor quite some time,

is gooa, but nothing exceedingly
wonaerful.
Say, Josie, I knew you used to
like Glen Miller and his music, and
1 thought you’d prick up an ear to
near that his old band is back, to­
gether with Tex Beneke, recording
two new tune_, rather inappropri­
ate. These are: “I’m Heaaing for
California’' and “Swing Low, Sweet
chariot.” The latter is none in that
„well Glen Miller swing style, and
ooy, it seems gooa to have that kind
of music back again.
Martha Tilton makes the front
page also with her rendition of
"There’s Good Blues Tonight” with
some added platters including, “Ah
ifes,” and “As If I Don’t Have
Mayor LaGuaroia used the phrase
“patience and fortitude” at the end
of one of his more famous speeches
to the people of New York? Blackie
Warren and Billy Moore, Jr. picked
up the phrase and turned it into
the jive tune that Count Basie sends
cut over the air waves, and also
over the record counter.
This next item is especially for
Joe’s benefit. He’s a fan of “der
Bingle” and I’m sure he’ll like his
new album of western songs. ’Bout
time he put out an album like this.
“They Say It’s Wonderful” shapes
up to be a popular platter of in­
creasing sales.
Done by Perry
Como, this number will be soon
appearing around your local music
corner and as an added treat the
flipover features “Laughing On the
Outride, Crying On the Inside.”
Perry really adds to his popularity
list, as sales soar in this latest vocal
effort.
See you soon!
