Editor Reveals Inside Story
By LEE
There comes a time each year
Bricks and Ivy. On the day we get
getting our classmates’ autographs
The excitement soon dies down and
year’s yearbook.
But before
westart thinking
about next year’s yearbook,
it
might be a good idea to think a bit
about this year’sbodk.
We
all
know what goes on with the
C. and W., but do we know the
backstage dope on the B. and I.?
Traces Development
To show you something of the
work that was done on the B. and I.,
let us try and trace the development
and growth of the 1949 Bricks and
Ivy.
To begin with, what is a year­
book? It is an annual issue put out
by a school for the students, record­
ing the typical happenings of the
school year. It is so planned that
20 years or so later many pleasant
memories should be brought back
to alumni when they look through
their yearbook.
Work on the B. and I. started
last May, when the staff selected
“television” as the symbolic theme.
The art editor then started to make
the layouts of the book, working
part of the summer and all last fall
with the staff to complete the lay­
outs.
Work Begins Early
Work in earnest began three
weeks before school opened, when
the editor and business manager
visited several printing firms to
JUNE 3, 1949
DENNIS
when we receive our copies of the
them, there is a frantic afternoon of
and the autographs of the seniors.
then we start wondering about next
select a printer for the book. At
the same time, bids from local
photography studios were collected
for presentation to the senior class.
Once school opened, the B. and I.
launched a fund raising campaign
by sponsoring a performance of
“John Loves Mary” at the Play­
house.
Between October and January,
the job of compiling and preparing
copy for the printer was handled
by the literary editor and staff.
Many hours were spent in writing,
rewriting, typing and retyping pages
and pages of writeups.
During this period the photog­
raphy editor and the studio sched­
uled and took the many, many
pictures that were used in the
Bricks and Ivy.
Send Material To Printer
In February, the yearbook mater­
ial was collected, arranged and sent
to the printer. Engravings were
made and the type was set. Proofs
were made and delivered to the
B. and I. The dummy of the 1949
Bricks and Ivy was then made up
from these proofs. The galley proofs
were read and returned with the
dummy to the printer who then
made up the page proofs of the
yearbook. These were checked and
approved by the staff. We are now
awaiting delivery of the finished
volumes.
New Council Takes
Control Immediately
DAVID BATES
New President of Senior Student
Council
Fossieck Releases
Change In Schedule
The faculty has just completed a
new schedule for the year 19491950.
Dr. Theodore Fossieck, principal,
points out that the schedule differs
from the present one in three v/ays.
“First, the periods were length­
ened to fifty-five minutes. This was
done so that much of the homework
could be completed in the class
under the supervision of the teacher
who assigned it. It is hoped that
it will save parents much difficulty
as well as free students from a lot
of preparation at home. It is not
expected to eliminate homework
entirely.
“Second, school will begin for
everyone at 8:10 a.m. and be dis­
missed at 2:30, except for those days
when special activities, such as
homeroom or labs, are scheduled.
This will permit a longer and un­
interrupted period for those work­
ing after school on the newspaper
or other events.
“Third, lunch will be eaten at
11:05. This will give Milne the use
of the cafeteria when it is cleanest
and when the food is hot and the
menu complete.”
The new schedule of classes as it
is now arranged is:
Period I ..................8:10-9:05
Period II .............. 9:10-10:05
Period III .......... 10:10-11:05
Lunch ...................11:05-11:35
Period IV .......... 11:35-12:30
Period V .............. 12:35-1:30
Period VI .............. 1:35-2:30
Activities ................. 2:35-4:00
In discussing the schedule Dr.
Fossieck said, “We anticipate little
difficulty on the part of students in
meeting this schedule. Before the
war Milne had such a schedule and
it worked satisfactorily.”
Milne Senior High students elec­
ted David Bates to the presidency
of the Senior Student Council, fol­
lowing an election assembly on
Friday, May 20, by a majority vote
over Robert Lawton.
Name Other Officers
The other officers for the 19491950 Student Council are Barbara
Leete, vice-president; Barbara
Dewey, secretary; and Charles
Kritzler, treasurer. Their oppon­
ents for office were Nancy Shaw,
Helen Pigors and Lorraine Walker,
respectively. The eight candidates
were nominated at a meeting, May
10, by the junior class.
David Bates has been active on
the Junior High Student Council for
two years. He was also president
of the Junior Council. This year
he was the vice-president of Adelphoi.
Expresses Gratitude
David Bates, new president stated:
“My gratitude to the voters for
electing me president of the Student
Council. Also, I am grateful to the
measles for waiting until after the
election. The only comment I can
make now is that we, as the newly
elected student representatives will
certainly try to take over the
Council’s work efficiently for the
coming year. First, we will set a
foundation, making budget appro­
priations, and will be well along in
our work, when the fall term rolls
around.”
Senior Class Decides
On Gilt of Signpost
Senior class members decided at
a recent meeting, to secure a sign­
post as their gift to the school. It
will be placed on Western Avenue.
In the past, if a student spoke of
Milne, very few people knew where
it was. Also, people passing by,
were not able to distinguish it from
the rest of the red brick buildings.
From now on, the signpost will leave
no doubt in people’s mind concern­
ing the location of the Milne School.
A committee for arrangements
consists of Lawrence Propp, chair­
man, Laura Lea Paxton and Bettie
Carothers.
Plans for the senior ball have not
been completed as yet, although the
date, June 24, and the place, the
Ingle Room of Pierce Hall, have
been decided.
Boys Have Banquet
The boys’ intersociety banquet
was held on Tuesday, May 25, at
Howard Johnson’s. Chaperons for
the dinner were Dr. Carlton B.
Moose, science supervisor, and Mr.
Harlan Raymond, supervisor of in­
dustrial arts.

\ . . We’ll make Milne High School best in
the town.’’ No doubt all of us have sung that
refrain more than once, but just what does it
really mean?
The song obviously refers to
athletic success, but how is this achieved? By
just one thing. Teamwork!
Anyone on a football, basketball, or base­
ball team knows the importance of teamwork.
How many, though, have ever stopped to
realize its importance in a school.
In Milne we are fortunate in being able to
participate in many student activities.
Each
year we elect a Student Council to govern us.
Most of us vote each year, but after elections,
what then? Our duties are over. We literally
close our ears when the class or society presi­
dent asks, “Have I a volunteer?”
Why don’t we volunteer?
Either because
no one else does or because we are just plain
lazy, especially if a little work is involved.
Spring really seems in full swing with the Milnites.
Jan Kilby, Dick Bauer, Bobbie Leete and Bud Tallamy were seen over the week-end riding through

forms while marching in the Memorial Day parade.
If you missed Nancy Tripp and Ruth Dyer, it’s be­
cause they spent the week-end at Lake Champlain.
Terry Hilleboe visited Cornell University, while John
Taylor went to Toronto, Canada. Sheldon Schneider
was seen at Coney Island and Marge Norton was in
New York. Joe Page traveled all the way to Boston
to see the Red Sox play. Fred Corrie had good in­
tentions of seeing the New York Yankees in action,
but he ended up going to Radio City. Dick Bennett
and Beryl Scott took a trip to Lake George. Helen
Cupp traveled to Pennsylvania.

Gade and Anne Bruce. Also Elaine Stein and Betty
Lou Silberg, Alice Cohen, Marilyn Aker. Helen Kohn,
Johnny Samuels attended a Councilette Formal.
Emmett Tembrock and Jerry Linton got into the spring
spirit, bicycling to Stewarts. Roller skating captured
the fancy of Pat Carroll, Margery Rumsey, Verna
Jantz, Helen Hoak and Barbara White.
Lorraine Walker, Ed Lux, Anne Carlough and Art
Walker spent Sunday at Lake Dunmore breathing in

the Van Rensselaer baseball team
to a 10 to 4 victory over the Red
Raiders at Ridgefield.
After holding Van Rensselaer to
a 3 to 3 tie in the first inning Bert
Tallamy, Milne hurler, was tagged
for two more runs in the second
and then was relieved by Pete Ball
in the fateful third inning.
With three men on, Ball was
ahead of the batter with two strikes
and two out. The next ball pitched
landed between the tennis courts
and the handball wall in left field,
allowing all men to score. This
brought the score to 9 to 3. Each
team was able to put one more run

Milne Scores Three
Milne got off to a fast start by
scoring three runs in the top half
of the first inning. Pitcher Bunsey
O’Connor of CBA walked Ed Segel,
the first man to face him. Ed Lux
then hit a driving single into left
field advancing Ed Segel to third.

the ball over Milne center fielder
Alec Pirnie’s head for a home run
with two aboard.

traveled to Delmar to take on a
B.C.H.S. team in which the mem­
bers competed in events other than
those in which they compete in on
the B.C.H.S. varsity team.
Milne was handicapped by the
absence of Fred Clum and John
Kinum, varsity, Milne weight
and distance men respectively. Dick
Reynolds, track gold letter man,
scored Milne’s only win in the 440
yard dash.
Net Team Loses
Five; Rout C. H. S.
Milne’s tennis team of 1949 has
had matches with Columbia, Hud­
son, and two matches each with
Albany Academy and B.C.H.S.
The members of this year’s team
have gained a great deal of experi­
ence which they hope to make use­
ful next year.
Beal Columbia
Columbia High School was sound­
ly trounced in a match that ended
up 7 to 0. B.C.H.S.. Academy, and
Hudson beat the Milne netmen by
wide margins.
Si Fersch, tennis coach, said at
the recent Father and Son Banquet,
“To build character you have to
learq. to win and you have to learn
to lose. This year we have been
learning to lose.”
Plan Ti’ip To Hudson
One of the most important events
from the members of the team’s
point of view is the coming trip to
Hudson. Those chosen for the trip
are Larry Propp, Tom Eldridge,
Larry Coffin, Frank Parker, and
Richard Propp.
Milne Team Defeats
State Sharpshooters
The Milne Rifle team continued
its winning ways by edging the

THE
EAA.lbCOMER
By “LARRY”
This past week has really been
exciting. The Milne girls’ first and
second teams defeated Albany High
School in two thrilling games. The
first team, consisting of Carol Boyn­
ton, ’49, Joan Horton, ’49, Helen
Bigley, ’49, Bev Orrett, ’50, Anne
Coniglio, ’50, Di Grant, ’50, Barb
Leete, ’50, Larry Walker, ’50, and
Terry Hilleboe, ’51, won a close
game by the score of 5-4. Jan
Kilby, ’49, Dottie Blessing, ’49, Joan
Mosher, ’49, Carolyn Dobbs, ’49, Jan
Hicks, ’50, Dawn Dodge, ’50, Edith
Cross, ’51, Carolyn Miller, ’51, Judy
Deitrich, ’51, and Ellie Stein, ’51,
brought the second team through by
a score of 11-7.
Mothers and Daughters Feted
Rain again greeted the mothers
and daughters at the Annual Mother
and Daughter Banquet, but it didn’t
dampen anyone’s spirit. The ban­
quet was held at St. Andrew’s
Church and a delicious meal was
served. The majority of mothers
received gladiola corsages, but the
sophomore mothers received iris
corsages, because the sophomore
class had the most number of girls
in attendance. Joan Hoi’ton, ’49,
welcomed everyone, and afterwards
Miss Lydia Murray announced the
awards. Miss Murray kept every­
one in suspense, as usual, but the
awards were finally made.
The announcing of M.G.A.A. offi­
cers for 1949-1950 was the highlight
of the evening. Larry Walker, ’50,
is the new president; Lois Tewell,
’51, vice-president; Mary Alice
Leete, ’52, secretary-treasurer; Bar­
bara Leete, ’50, business manager;
Barbara Sandberg, ’51, publicity
manager, and Cynthia Tainter, ’52,
office manager. Sue Ketler, ’54, will
represent the eighth grade, and
Mary Alice Tulloch, ’53, the ninth
grade. The day after the banquet
the other classes selected their rep­
resentatives. Barbara Dewey was
chosen by next year’s seniors, Doris
Metzner was selected by the juniors
and Nancy Prescott was the choice
of the sophomores.
G.A.A.’s and chenille M’s were

Femmes Display
Softball Talent;
Enter Fly Club
By NANCY GOTIER
“Oh boy! Hey Miss Murray, I
just caught one!
What number
am I?”
This lady-like cry is very familiar
on the softball diamond during the
girls’ gym classes. Miss Lydia K.
Murray, physical education instruc­
tor, thought of an ingenious idea.
She now has a fly-ball club of which
all members have caught at least
one fly ball. However, if a member
misses a ball she must forfeit her
membership.
Miss Murray keeps
track of the members by numbers
as each one joins.
Try To Improve
This year the girls have tried in
^ earnest to improve their softball.
Miss Murray has readily offered her
help and advice.
Everyone has tried so-o-o hard!
After all, if someone threw the ball
past a base and a run came in,
she couldn’t help it, she just didn t
realize she had so much strength.
Then maybe another will miss a
fly ball that went straight to her.
Don’t be irritated, she just couldn't
see without her glasses and she did
make an attempt. Also, don’t give
up hope, when a runner on first
base steals second and discovers
there is already someone there.
Goodness! She was only trying her
best.
Cadillacs Divert Attention
You may want to walk away
when you see someone missing a
ball just because she happened to
be looking at that brand new
Cadillac on Western Avenue. She
must have had a good reason.
Don’t be amazed when you see
a ball go flying straight up into the
air from the pitchers’ box. The
pitcher just forgot to let go in time.
Learn New Rules
With all their faults the girls
really think they have improved.
Miss Murray must think so too, be­
cause she informed them recently
of two softball rules which weren’t
used in gym class.
The first
was that a runner could steal home
and the second was that an infield
fly was an out whether caught or
missed. Miss Murray now thinks
that the girls are good enough to
be allowed to use these rules.
In spite of the teasing the girls
take, they really have fun, and say
they wouldn’t trade their game of
softball for any pro game.
Stevens Wins Prize
ForRa tExh ibition s
Harry Stevens, a Milne sopho­
more, was the third prize winner
of the Science Congress Exhibition
held Friday, May 13, in Huested
Hall. His rat dissections and cages
of rats, illustrating the principles of
heredity, won for him a trip through
the Winthrop Chemical plant.
This exhibit was sponsored by the
Eastern Zone of New York State
Science Teachers’ Association. Stu­
dents came from neighboring schools
to see this exhibit which lasted from
9:39 a.m. to 5 p.m. A highlight of
the exhibition was the flying of a
model jet plane oh the lawn in front
of Page Hall.

SENIOR
JOYCE RUSO
The first of these is Joyce Ruso,
whom most of you will identify
with the choir and Milnettes. She
has been active in these organiza­
tions for the past three years, sing­
ing many solo parts and hopes to
make music her career. Incidently,
on May 28 she had an audition at
Syracuse University where, _ if ac­
cepted, she will study music and
drama.
C. and W. claimed Joyce’s serv­
ices for her sophomore through
senior years, and B, and I. for her
senior year. She was the comedi­
enne in “Spring Dance,” the senior
play. Joyce was treasurer of her
homeroom last year, and is now
secretary of the Art Council.
Joyce has been voted the “most
talented” and “most talkative”
member of her class, and will ap­
pear on the “Who’s Who” page of
B. and I. as such.
Joyce says that she never real­
ized how difficult it is to be inter­
viewed until she had the experience
herself, and so extends apologies to
the “forty-niners” whom she inter­
viewed this year.
MARGARET LEONARD
The second is Margaret Leonard,
known chiefly to Milnites as the
lead in this year’s senior play,
“Spring Dance,” and also as a mem­
ber of the Q.T.S.A. court.
Marge is a member of Quintilian
Literary Society. Besides being an
usher at both concerts, she was one
of the “big wheels” for the Milne
Annual Card Party.
A native Albanian, she attended
Public School 16 and entered Milne
in the eighth grade.
Her plans
after graduation include a course
in sociology at St. Rose, and then
law school.
Marge’s likes run from Milton
Berle to asparagras. (What a com­
bination) In between, are convert­
ible cars, loafing and traveling. An
admirer of the Roosevelts, she has
a collection of newspaper articles,
pictures and books about the late
president and his family.
Swish! Dagwood? No, that’s Marge
hurrying to get home from school.
She’s one of those soap opera fans
who isn’t ashamed to admit it.
