Royality Crowned French Supervisor Receives Scholarship
Dr. Wasley to
At Q.T.S.A. Dance
Study in France
The high point of the Q.T.S.A.
dance came when the King and
Queen of the dance were announced.
The nominations for this title were
made before the dance, and voted
upon in a secret ballot during home­
room period.
Ron Killelea and
Shirley VanDerberg were chosen
reign over the dance. They were
each presented with a matching tie
clasp and cuff link set, and gold
and paper crowns.
Dr. Ruth Wasley, Milne French
supervisor, has been notified that
she has received a Fulbright study
grant to attend the 1956 seminar in
France for the American teachers
of French language and literature.
The seminar will include five weeks
at the Sorbonne and two weeks at
a French provincial university.
Group To Leave in June
Dr. Wasley and 30 other French
teachers will leave the United
States for France on the “S.S. United
States.” The boat will leave New
York city on Friday, June 22.
This year’s Q.T.S.A. dance was a
semi-formal. It was held at the
Ingle room of Pierce hall from 8:30
to 12:00 on Friday, April 27. Music
was “rhythmically produced” by
the Metronomes.

Council Arranges Dance
The Q.T.S.A. council made all ne­
cessary arrangements for the event.

sentatives from each society. This
year’s representatives were: Connie
Edwards, representing Quin; Jackie
Torner, representing Sigma; Stuart
Doling, representing Adelphoi, and
Bruce FitzGerald, representing
Theta Nu.
The chairman of the refreshments
committee were Linda Shoudy and
Mary Killough. They, along with
their co-workers, provided all in

Senior Injured in
Riding Accident
Joyce Miller, a Milne senior, was
injured in a very serious accident
on Saturday, April 14. Joyce was
riding at the Evergreen Livery
stables on Tudor road, when her
horse reared up and fell over back­
wards on her, crushing her spine.
Program Increases Good Will
The basic purpose of the Fulbright
group is to increase international
good will and understanding be­
tween people of other countries
through the mutual exchange of
teachers, university lecturers and
scholars.
Dr. Wasley Receives Other Honors
In addition to being chosen for
the Fulbright grant, Dr. Wasley also
was again chosen as the chairman

The Sinking Fund
JUNIOR
For over ten }'ears the student council and
the students of Milne have had at their disposal
a large fund of money, the sinking fund. Dur­
ing this time the principal has seldom, if ever,
been touched.
We feel that there are many legitimate needs
in Milne that could be satisfied by putting some
of the money of this fund into circulation. The
junior student council, for example, is badly in
need of a public address system and sound
reproduction equipment for use at their parties
and dances. There is also a need at Milne for
additional spotlights for use at plays and
dances, and there are, undoubtedly, other
legitimate needs.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the
recent action that the council took toward
spending some of the money for valid needs in
Milne. This is a worthwhile project, and we
think that it deserves your support, also.

Greetings! I’m a little new at the
business of getting a whole column
in before the deadline, as this is my
first time, but I hope you’ll learn
about the girls’ sports program, as
you have from Judy. We may not
always be as noticeable as the boys,
but we do some interesting things.
Eleven seniors who are returning
with varsity experience from last
year, should give Milne a strong,
veteran team this year. With only
three players Joel Berman, George
Bishop, and Bob Keller missing
from last year’s squad, the starting
lineup is set.
All Senior Infield
Carl Eppleman will handle most
of the catching, backed by juniors
Bob Horn and Dave Donnelly. The
first string infield is made up of
Paul Cohen at first, Tripp May at
second, and the FitzGerald twins,
Barry and Bruce, at short and third
respectively. Steve Greenbaum who
proved his versatility last year, will
be used as both a utility infielder
and outfielder, while the other re­
serves are A1 Alpart, Larry Berman,
and Bob Knouse, from this year’s
jayvee team.

Milne Edged 54
In Tight Opener
In the opening game of the year,
Guilderland Central edged Milne
5-4, in the final inning of a heart­
breaking loss April 19 at Altamont.
Guilderland scored first, with one
run off starter Ron Killelea in the
second inning, and added three
more in the third.
The Red Raiders fought back with
four runs in the fifth to tie the. game
up at 4-4. Dave Bairn led off with
a walk, and Carl Eppleman reached
first, as the third baseman booted
his grounder. Art Evans was safe
on a fielder’s choice, and Bairn and
Eppleman scored on an error by
the second baseman. After Bruce
FitzGerald was hit by a pitched ball
Peck drove him and Evans home
with a double to right.
In the bottom of the seventh with
one out, Art Schinnerer reached
first on a missed third strike by
Eppleman. He advanced to second,
when an attempted pickoff throw
went wild and scored on two passed
balls.
Peck pitched fine ball after he
relieved Killelea in the third. He
struck,out six, while giving up only
one hit.
Tennis Talk
By Steve Arnold
The Milne tennis team, with seven
lettermen returning, looks forward
to one of its best seasons, this year.
The netmen, coached by two State
students, Walter Camp and Paul
Erickson, have not been able to use
the Ridgefield courts yet, but have
been working out in the small gym.
The returning veterans are Dave
Wilson, John Wiltrout, Bob Martin,
Steve Arnold, Paul Rissberger, Hans
Pauly, and Charlie Curry. Other
hopefuls include John Fenton, Ed
Schwartz, Jim Cohen, Bill Rulison,
and Pete Pappas.
A jayvee team consisting of play­
ers from the junior high plus those
cut from the varsity squad, will
practice at Washington Park.

Modern Dancing
We have just finished learning
modern dancing in gym class. As
you tried to make sense out of some
long, complicated formula in physics,
you may have heard the music of
our marches, jarring your every
thought, and rising romantically up­
ward from the Little Gym, where
we tried to think of ingenious com­
binations of steps for our precision
dances, in hopes that Miss Murray
would find another Marge Champion
or Jeannemarie among us. We
counted measures in our sleep, try­
ing to find room for one more type­
writer step (Ask one of the girls to
show you this) in our routines. Al­
though a few of us secretly hoped
for softball, and the good out-ofdoors, some of the girls were very
adept at this dancing.
Softball Again
Now that we’re outside, we are
trying to renew our lost art of softball. Our fly-ball club encourages
us to catch fly-balls with at least
some of the skill shown by the
Dodgers. The fly-ball club works
like this. When you catch a flyball, you are awarded first a num­
ber, then a red star, then a silver
star, and, finally, a gold star. Al­
though the awards are all imagin­
ary, the competition is still keen.
The M.G.A.A. Banquet
The G.A.A. council is busy plan­
ning for our annual banquet, to be
held at the Trinity Methodist church
on May 24. This banquet is always
full of surprises. One of the big­
gest, of course, is the announcement
of our new G.A.A. officers. We have
voted for our new officers already,
but the news of whom is elected
is kept for the banquet. Our ath­
letic awards are given at this time,
too. These awards are given for
participation in G.A.A. after school;
the most coveted award in this cate­
gory is the honor pin, which re­
quires the participation in 30 sports.
Usually, juniors and seniors are the
only girls who achieve this award.
Although you may listen intently,
you won’t hear much about the
banquet until after it has been held,
because it is all a secret, known
only to the G.A.A. council until the
big night.
Coach Harry Grogan has an­
nounced that this year, for the first
time, Milne will field a golf team.
The team will be coached by Roy
Milnarick and Fred Rudisch, both
students from State college.
The squad has already been
chosen, and the players who were
selected were junior Jerry Powell,
and sophomores Fred Corbat, Wayne
Grant, Steve Crane, and Eddie

JOAN CANFIELD
Laughing eyes, big wide grin,
Full of pep, vigor, and vim.
These are a few expressions that
describe Joan Maureen Canfield.
Joanie was born the day after
Christmas in 1938 at Brady hospital
in Albany. She entered Milne in
the seventh grade coming from P.S.
19, and during the past six years
she has been active in school. She
was a cheerleader and has been a
Milnette.
Joan really proved the value of
four years of semi-classical singing
when she soloed “With a Song in
My Heart” at the Quin rush this
year. Painting is another consum­
ing hobby. Joan won third place
in a contest sponsored by one of the
furniture companies in Albany.
Meatloaf and people who think
they know everything are sure to
take the smile off Joanie’s face. Her
pet peeve is gigglers. (Come again,
Joanie?)
Joanie says, “My ambition is to get
married and raise a family. I’d like
my children to be as good and as
enjoyable as the seventh grade art
class that I assist.”
MARYANN BULLION
Fireworks illuminated the sky
when Maryann (spelled this way,
no substitute accepted) Glass Bul­
lion was born. The reason—July 4,
1938. This personable miss came to
Milne in the seventh grade from
P.S. 16.
Maryann likes Dukes, for atmos­
phere you understand. Golf rates
high among her pastimes. “Actual­
ly, I only caddy.” She likes New
York city “because it’s so quaint at
five o’clock in the morning,” and
thinks Greenwich village is “real
crazy.”
Some of the activities Maryann
has participated in while at Milne
have been Quin, B. & I., Milnettes,
and she was one of the' Milne re­
porters for the Times-Union.
Maryann’s future plans include
attending Hong Kong U. “I just
love to travel by rickshaw.”
Maryann would like to go to art
school; fashion designing appeals to
her as a career.

MARY KILLOUGH
Congratulations belong to Mary
Kiilough for a job well done in
writing Senior Spotlight for the past
year. And now, Mary, the spotlight
is on you.
Mary was born on January 20,
1938, in Albany. From Loudonville
school she came to Milne in the
seventh grade and started an ex­
tensive participation in school ac­
tivities. She is currently the presi­
dent of M.G.A.A. and the vicepresident of Tri-Hi-Y. She has sung
with the Milnettes and led cheers
for j.v. and varsity sports. A few
months ago Mary was awarded
D.A.R. recognition as an outstanding
school citizen.
Nine o’clock gym classes, pizza
and spinach, and Shakespeare afford
Mary constant delight. She makes
hobbies of doing homework until
midnight and of riding crowded
school buses.

PAUL RISSBERGER
State Teachers college and to major
in home economics.
On April 11, 1939, in the City
hospital of New York, Paul Joseph
Rissberger came into this crazy
mixed-up world.
“Rex,” as his many friends call
him, attended the Loudonville
school before entering Milne in the
seventh gi’ade.
Paul is a great bird lover and
spends a lot of his time with “The
Lark.”
Paul also likes lively
parties and fast cars.
Among his dislikes are dull chem.
classes (where have I heard this
before?), gobbing, and wise under­
classmen.
“Rex,” like most of the other boys
in the class of ’56, is an active sports
fan and participates in both basket-:
ball and tennis. He is also a mem­
ber of Hi-Y and treasurer of Theta
Nu.
Paul plans to attend Union col­
lege next fall to study engineering
and, as he says, “If not, I’ll go to
State and become a teacher.”
DAVE QUICKENTON
That big fellow standing at the
door of all Theta Nu meetings is the
Sergeant-at-Arms, David Lawrence
Quickenton. Dave is usually called
“Quack” in his off moments.
Dave, born in Albany on. May 2,
1938, is very active in all Milne
activities. Dave came to Milne in
the seventh grade after lending his
many talents to the West Albany
School.
“Quack” is quite the guy in any
game. He has been a regular mem­
ber of both basketball and baseball
teams since entering our halls.
“Quack” likes girls (J.C.), senior
privileges (who doesn’t?), and, of
course, sports.
Do you know anything about
Peck’s old shootin’ iron? Just ask
Dave about it, but be careful. It’s
one of his major dislikes. Other-dislikes which Dave has are spaghetti,
Spanish class, and those “very com­
mon” 8:00 chem. labs.
After graduation, Dave plans to
attend Syracuse university and
major -in chemistry. He hopes to
develop some new formulas to
further confuse all chemistry stu­
dents. And, as Dave would say,
“No lo se.”
WILLIAM MAY
Have you ever been to Menands,
the “garden spot” of New York
state? Well, if you have, you have
probably run into “Tripp.” He is
not often called William Benjamin
May III, but that is what his birth
certificate says. “The Kid,” as he
is often called, was born on April
11, 1939, and five short years later
he started his fomral schooling at
the Menands grade school.
He is presently vice-president of
three Milne organizations, including
the senior student council, the
M.B.A.A., and Hi-Y club. Bill is
also a varsity basketball player and
a starter at second base, on the
varsity baseball team. Aside from
this, he is an active member in
Theta Nu literary society.
“Tripp’s” future plans are to be­
come a doctor and make enough
money to repay the Howard’s and
Eppelman’s for all their fine, free
room and board.
