Manhasset Outpoints Red Raiders
As Team Drops Opening Tilts
Squad Lacks
Reserve Strength
Manhasset High School from Long
Island trouped up to Albany last
Friday and defeated the Milne
squad, thus chalking up Milne’s
third defeat of the year. The final
score was 47-34. It was a closer
game than the score indicated for
no more than five points separated
the two clubs at any time until the
final period.
An eighteen point surge by
victors in the fourth quarter wrofi
finish for the Milne five. The
of Farnan in the final session,
to fouls, proved costly for the h<
team as Coach Grogan has insi
cient reserve strength.
Pacing the Milne attack was
Clarke witn nine points, while D3
with thirteen was best for M;
basset. The score in this cont<
by quarters is proof enough of
balance of the game. At the
or the first period, Manhasset kept
ahead 14-11.
When half time
sounded, the Long Islanders led
24-19. Going into the fourth quar­
ter, the tally at that time wag even
more hopeful as Milne lagged by
only two points, the score being
29-27.

Tonight will be Milne’s last game
in the eventful year of 1946. Milne
will engage Cathedral Academy on

“You mean, my son, to Santa

His mother told the antelaus.
“I know, but Mom, it never rhymes,
I’ve tried it half a dozen times.”
And so he wrote: “Dear Santa

Sketch Planned
A sketch is planned to open the
entertainment with Sally Gaus,
Margie Bookstein, Barbara Betham,
and Roger Gross participating. The
sketch is intended to be humorous
and will deal with some phase o
French life. Following this, Jes^
Barnet will' play “Clair de Lung|
by Debussy, a French composer.
A patriotic pageant is also slab
for the program. This will featui
the entire class singing in Frenc.
Some of the songs to be include'
are: “My Buddy,” “Keep the Home*
Fires Burning,” “Mademohelle from
Armentieres,” and “Aupres de Ma
Blonde.”
The finale is to be a candle light­
ing ceremony, and will show the
expression of thanks of the French
people to their great leaders, who
liberated them from their oppres­
sion.
Miss Wasley Pleased
Miss Wasley has been doing a
good deal of work on the project
and hopes to make the assembly
an especially outstanding one.
