Milne senior boys, who were
never interested in politics, are now
eagerly awaiting the reports from
one form of politics, the new draft
law.
To some, it will not make any
difference, but to others, it may
mean an interruption of their edu­
cational plans. If this new training
bill goes through, every physically
fit male becomes subject to call oh
his eighteenth birthday. Now, the
law only requires registration of all
men of 18, and restricts actual in­
duction to those 19 through 25 years
old.

State Regents
Board Projects
Milne’s faculty is studying a plan
proposed by the Board of Regents
of New York State. At a meeting
in New York City during December,
the Board discussed how New York
State’s high schools might cooperate
in military defense.
Plans were made to determine
how to make the best use of our
youth in national defense and at
the same time give them the oppor­
tunity of one year of college before
starting military service. The Board
came to a final proposal that the
state’s high schools arrange their
courses in order that the present
four year course could be accom­
plished in three years. This would
mean extending school into what is
now summer vacation and giving
students heavier work at other
times.
Teachers Study Proposal
Milne has no official word on the
proposal from the State Education
Department, whose duty it ’is to
study and report back to the Board
on any of its proposals arid then to
put in effect the policies of the
Regents. Heads of all Milne de­
partments, nevertheless, are study­
ing its probable effect on Milne’s
program.
In a statement concerning this
proposal Dr. Theodore H. Fossieck,
principal of Milne, stated: “We of
the Milne staff hope that the re­
quirements of the national defense
program never reach the point
where students will have only three
years to secure a high school edu­
cation. However, if the situation
arises, you may be sure that we will
make every effort to insure that the
very best possible education is
available to students in the time
they have with us. In any case,
the kind of education which stu­
dents get depends upon the effort
they, are willing to put out.”
The Board has also stated their
new system concerning Regent
papers. Formerly, all Regent exams
were sent to the State Education
Department for inspection. Under
the new plan, the education depart­
ment will call for only those papers
which they wish to inspect. Papers
will be kept on file at Milne for a
year. Individual record cards form­
erly kept at the education building
will not be filed with the regular
records on file in school. It was
also stated that the College Entrance
Regents Diploma previously granted
would be eliminated ,and a Regents
high school diploma- issued by the
principal of the school would take
its place.
Pupils Visit Station
Radio station WPTR, located in
the Ten Eyck Hotel, was the scene
of an English 10 field trip recently.
The class made a tour of the
WPTR studios, including the sound
effects room, record library, trans­
mitter and control room.

Well, the world situation looks pretty bad.
Have you seen the latest casualty lists?
And
they want to draft 1 8-year-olds now.
Where does that leave you, you senior boys,
who will be graduated soon?
Does it mean
that you’ll be holding a diploma in one hand
and a rifle in the other?
Does it make you
wonder if it’s worthwhile to study and cram
and do homework if you’re just going to be
shipped to Korea or China to be shot at? Why
bother making application to college? You
may be called to duty before you’re accepted,
or if you get to college at all, you may have
to leave.
It’s pretty rough when kids just out of high
school must be so directly involved in this
serious situation.
Sure, you know you don’t
want communism to overrun the world, but
do they have to mess up your life, stopping it?
It’s not fair. But let’s face facts. The world
problem is such that no one individual can
solve it alone.
And to get back to the in­
dividual in Milne, what can he do? Not much!
If he’s called, he goes, and that’s that!
But until then, why abandon school work.
Your college education may be postponed for
awhile, but wouldn’t you feel great if you
could never go to college just because you
“messed up” your senior average. Of course,
make applications to college! If you can’t go
right now, why not later?
Don’t give up without a struggle!

Kinderhook Nips Milne Milne Loses to
In Close Contest, 54-51 Cadets Triumph
Red Raiders Lead
Until Fourth Period
By JOEL LEVINE
Milne’s Red Raiders lost a heart­
breaking 54-51 decision to a “neversay-die” Kinderhook team on the
Page Hall court, January 19.
The inability of Milne to convert
more than half of their foul shots
cost the Red Raiders the game as
they scored on 11 foul shots to
Kinderhook’s 16 free throws. Milne
had 20 field goals, while Kinder­
hook tallied 19 times from the floor.
Milne Leads At Quarter
With Milne’s superior height con­
trolling both backboards over the
short Kinderhook quintet, the Groganmen jumped into an 11-4 lead
at the quarter.
Both teams played on nearly even
terms in the second period, Kinder­
hook managed to take one point off
the Milne lead by halftime, making
the score 22-17.

but Columbia spurted to widen the

lead. Milne rallied to chop seven
points off the winner’s lead, giving
Columbia a' 35-29 margin at half­

Beware Mid-Years!
Beware of Monday, January 29!
That is the date of a mid-year gym
test for grades 9-12. The test will
cover everything that we’ve had
this year, including volleyball,
hockey, and basketball.
Please,
Miss Murray, don’t make the test
too hard!
A basketball playday, sponsored
by Albany High, was held at Philip
Livingston Junior High, on Satur­
day, January 13. Barbara Sand­

Armstrong ’51, Lois Laventall ’52,
Mary Alice Leete ’52, Cynthia

Ruth Houck ’52, and Carolyn Kritzler ’52 made up the team, while
Ellie Stein ’51, and Christine Brehm
'52, acted as referees.
Murray Trapped
Miss Murray started the playday
off in an odd sort of a way. She
walked down a hall in Philip Liv­
ingston to get a drink of water,
and when she started to return, she
found that she was locked behind
an iron fence. She remained there
for about ten minutes, until some­
one finally came to her rescue and
she was freed.
Milne then played six games of
basketball. We defeated Watervliet,
13-6, and tied Mont Pleasant, 11-11.
However, we were defeated by
Roesselville, 7-4, Draper, 20-13,
Schuyler, 8-7, and Albany High, 5-4.
Playday Coming
There will be another basketball
playday at Mont Pleasant High
School on February 17. Here’s hop­

Reveal Varied
Secret Ambitions
By EDITH CROSS
“What would you like to be when
you grow up?', older people are
always asking. They’re curious to
know if we have interesting ambi­
tions. Well some of us do, and
some of us don’t. But what about
the adults? What kind of ambitions
did they have, or do they still have
hidden talents that they wish to
develop? I got so curious about
this problem that I decided to ask
some people about it. The faculty
seemed likely prospects, so I
snooped around a bit.
“There’s a Small Hotel”
With the situation in Korea as it
is, I went to Miss Woolschlager to
see if maybe she wanted to rejoin
the WACs. If you recall, she once
served in this organization as a
teacher. But Miss Woolschlager’s
plans don’t include the armed forces.
To her, owning a hotel would be
most interesting. She would run
this in the summer and teach us in
the winter months.

chain of hotels, had better be care­
ful of our Miss Woolschlager.

Cochrane comes into mind. Why?

most favored sport. Therefore, 1
assumed that his ambition would
have something to do with golf. 1
was correct. He wants to own two
golf courses, one in Florida, and one
in the North. This will enable him
to play golf all year round. What a
racket!
The next two people I inter­
viewed, threw my assumptions way
off. Now, wouldn’t you think that
a man like Mr. Harwood, with his
scientific mind, would want to work
at Oak Ridge or something? And
what about Dr. Newton? I think
he’d make a wonderful Hamlet!
But oddly enough, both of these
men would like to have something
to do with flowers. Dr. Newton
would like to own a greenhouse,
while Mr. Hai’wood would like to
grow gladiolas.
“John R. Tibbetts of the F.B.I.”
Mr. Tibbetts toyed with the idea
of becoming a member of the F.B.I.
when he was a boy. This idea
stayed with him until college. Then
he found out that you had to be a
lawyer or an accountant in order
to become part of this organization.
I can see the similarity between
this and his present day occupation.
He merely investigates report cards,
instead of criminal records.

“Stars and Stripes Forever”
Even though Dr. Fossieck would
likely not consider leaving Milne,
his second choice would be that of
an army general. The reason for
this decision is so that he could
have a red license plate with a
silver star on it. That would look
very nice with his blue car, wouldn’t
it?
Destination—Mars
Have you ever entertained the
thought of going to Mars in a rocket
ship? Well, Mr. Montgomery would
like to travel to Mars in search of
a sanctuary for retired faculty
members. He thinks that maybe
Mars would be an excellent location
for such a project.
CRIMSON AND WHITE
Language Clubs
Plan for Spring
Latin, Spanish and French clubs
are all planning to put on special
activities in the spring.
Latin club members are consider­
ing a Roman circus with Roman
costumes, games, dances and athletic
contests.
On Friday, Dr. Odenkirchen of State College for Teach­
ers, Albany, entertained members
of the three language clubs with
descriptions of his travels in Europe
and slides of Pompeii. Earlier activ­
ities of this club included the
“Twelve Labors of Hercules,” a
play staged in the Little Theater,
starring Robert Richardson as Her­
cules.
Spanish club members are plan­
ning a Fiesta, complete with Spanish
costumes and food this spring. Be­
fore Christmas vacation the club
celebrated Christmas in Spanish
style with a pinata. A pinata is a
large paper bag filled with candy.
One ot the boys, armed with a large
stick, struck at the pinata until it
burst, scattering candy. Members
of all three clubs participated in
the sci'amble that followed.
Fantasy
T’was the morning of mid-terms
and all through the school,
Not a soul was heard talking (an
exception to rule!)
The papers were stacked on the
desks with great care.
Awaiting the time when the tests
would be there.
The pupils were seated in trembling
dread,
While visions of failures danced
through each head.
When all of a sudden the silence
was broken
And confusion prevailed, though no
one had spoken.
For an elf had descended as if from
nowhere
(Though some insist t’was an
answer to prayer)
Who, they say, was possessed of
mysterious charm,
And would in a moment end all our
alarm—
So! that strange little creature
brought out some sand
Which he sprinkled o’er all, with a
wave of his hand
And vowed he would give us the
charm that some day
Would all be contained in one word
he would say
Then combining a smile with a
queer little smirk
He laughingly uttered just one little
word—“work.”

Milne Participates
In Radio Forum
During the month of December,
WOKO had a number of Milne
students appear on their program
entitled “Crusade for Democracy.”
The question brought up for dis­
cussion was “What is Democracy?”
Members of the Forum of Poltics,
an Albany State Teachers College
organization, plan to have other
such programs in the near future,
with Milne students participating.
Mr. Walter Robinson, a student
teacher at Milne, is president of the
forum and moderator of the discus­
sions.

LOIS LEVINE
Come one, come all! Yes-s, come
and meet the greatest little lady
ever to appear in the halls of Milne.
She’s Pres-sident of Sigma, mem­
ber of the Inter-rsociety Council-1,
sings in the choir, and e-even helps
edit the school paper-r. A mighty
busy little gal, yesiree! And Ladies
and Gentl’men, besides being busy,
she’s a mighty cute little miss with
curly cropped, half-blond, half­
brunette locks and an ever-handy
smile.
So won’t you step right up and
meet our first attraction?
She’s
aw-wful anxious to tell you all
about herself. She’s happiest when
she’s reading, drinking chocolate
frosts, or playing tennis.
We’re chargin’ you absolutely
nothin’, folks, to meet this miss.
And we’re warnin’ you, folks, that
you had better strike up an ac­
quaintance before this friendly
female goes a’journeying to Goucher
College to become a teacher.
Yesiree, she’s got lots of sense and
ambition to want to teach kids.
Step right up, folks and . . .
HARRY STEVENS
Step .right up folks, here we pre­
sent the main attraction of the day
—the one and only—Harry Stevens;
one of the busiest boys in Milne.
Haye you noticed the bustling and
commotion in the art room as the
deadline for the Bricks and Ivy
draws nigh? And who do you think
is behind all of this? You guessed
it, Harry Stevens!
As if this didn’t keep him busy
enough, Harry still finds time to be
president of Adelphoi; plus being
president of the
Inter - Society
Council.
Hold your hats!
Here comes
more! Not only does he hold the
above mentioned offices, but he also
is vice-president of Hi-Y. Quite a
boy, eh what?
This remarkable lacf was born on
September 29, 1934. Entering Milne
in his eighth year of schooling,
Harry has continually grown to be
a part of Milne and class of 1951.
After commencement Harry hopes
to attend Union college, where he
will major in physics, if the U. S.
government doesn’t offer him a job
first.
