SUMMER CLASS
*
State college will be the location
of a “High School Seminar in Amer­
ican Civilization” this summer. This
special class, presented at State col­
lege for the second consecutive
summer, is open to students who
are in the top 10 per cent of their
class in achievement and will be
seniors next year. Students will be
helped by this class to develop skills
which will aid them in taking such
tests as the College Boards and the
National Merit scholarship, as well
as in college. Since only pupils with
high marks will be admitted, the
materials used in this class and the
study skills emphasized will be of
a more challenging nature than are
usually found in the classroom.

Who is Responsibie?
In the list of instructions for a Hi-Y confer­
ence was the following: “Please remember
that you represent Hi-Y in Saratoga. If you
must fight, please remove your identification
badges."
It is a shame that we cannot always shed
our responsibilities as easily as this. You
have probably heard at least once during your
Milne career that when participating in some
outside activity, you are representing your
school. This never impressed us very much
until recently, when certain events caused us
to look more deeply into this subject. Through­
out life, we will always represent something,
whether it be our school, our job, or ourselves.
If nothing else matters, self-respect should
prompt us to act responsibly when given the
chance. No one will ever begrudge anyone
good, clean fun. But when our actions en­
danger the rights and privileges of others,
and provoke authority to the point where harsh
and humiliating punishment is necessary, it
is time we took stock of ourselves, to see
whether or not we have any pride in ourselves
as responsible citizens.
A Thought
In a high school, as well as in other en­
vironments, the individual is subjected to
many social pressures. If urged by a group,
he will generally conform, perhaps uncon­
sciously, to avoid being tabbed a “square" or
an “oddball." A great deal has been said
about conformity and non-conformity; it is a
well-worn topic for verbal tirades. Neverthe­
less, a person who has the “guts" to assert
his own personality, without defying and
alienating his contemporaries, will wake up
to an exhilarating experience. He will receive
and deserve new respect from those who once
dictated to him, thus gaining a fuller aware­
ness of his own worth as an individual.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Why should otherwise honor students be kept from
schoolwide recognition on the honor roll by grades
of C or below in gym?
This is an outrageous and heart-breaking practice
which has been abolished in many more modern
schools.
Imagine the disappointment of a student who has
given up social activities or other plans to study; and
after receiving commendable marks in all other sub­
jects, receives C or below in gym, t'hus missing out
on the recognition which is rightfully his! This may
induce these students to lose interest in obtaining the
highest possible marks, because if they are not
athletically inclined, they may never receive a good
mark in gym, thus removing themselves for consider­
ation for the honor roll permanently.
Although gym is an enjoyable subject, and required
for the ideal “all-around” student, some students, no
matter how hard they try, because of physical defi­
ciencies, will never be able to do well or even fairly
well in gym. Should these students be punished for
something they cannot help? I say no!
I therefore propose that we eliminate the gym
achievement mark from the required mark of B or
above for honors, thus inducing many poor athletes
but potential or established scholars to resume their
best efforts in their schoolwork.

Duel in Dark Ends in Tie
Milne vs. Hudson
After ten innings of top notch
ball playing, both
Milne
and
Hudson went down to defeat, the
moon coming out the victor. Milne’s
Jim McClelland and Hudson’s John
Rutskey pitched truly fine games.
Milne trailing 3-1 in the last of the
seventh came back to tie when
McClelland smashed a single to
center field. Thereafter, the game
was strictly a pitching dual with
both McClelland and Rutskey strik­
ing out thirteen men.
Leading
Milne’s hitting attack was Mike
Daggett who connected for two
singles, a feat by moonlight.
Milne vs Watervliet
The “Grogmen” went down to
their first defeat of the season, at
the hands of a so-so Watervliet team
by a score of 20-7. Tom Thorsen
was the losing pitcher and John
Dygos was the winner for Water­
vliet.
Errors Costly
The “Young Profs” put on a
sterling exhibition of what not to
do, and fumbled their way through
the seven inning game with a total
of ten errors. The Milne pitchers,
not to be outdone, contributed fif­
teen bases on balls to help the
visitors out. The “Red Raiders,”
however, were playing under a
severe handicap, nine players to
Vliet’s nine players and two um­
pires.
Bad Luck
Some noteworthy events of the
game: catcher Steve Rice, on a bit
of superb alertness on the base
paths, found himself the object of
a double play on an infield fly.
(He insists the ump told him there
were two outs.) Alan Markowitz,
the speedster in right field, with his
eye on a girl in the crowd, twice
overthrew third base scattering the
Watervliet bench.
The dashing
shortstop, Jeff Segel, found the ball
too hot to handle on two successive
plays, thus allowing “freedom from
fear” to the Vliet base runners. But
the Milne players took this game in
stride, and plan to win the cham­
pionship, that is, however, if. they
have any bats left. Doc Hengerer
has broken eleven in the first two
games.
ALL TOGETHER NOW—Milne girls once again try out for cheerleading.
THE LINEUP
This year’s Milne varsity baseball
team is comprised of eleven mem­
bers. Together with skill, experi­
ence, and a lot of luck, Milne hopes
to be among the leaders of the Capi­
tal District League.
newly developed drop ball.
Jim
should be one of our top hitters
this year. He already has had one
year of varsity experience. When
not pitching, Jim plays third base
or the outfield.
Daggett, Mike—Hgt. 5-11, Wgt. 142
Mike, being a strong hitter (4 for
10) and a versatile defensive man
should
see
continuous
action
throughout the year. Aside from
being one of our top pitchers, Mike
also plays third base and the out­
field.
Hengerer, Art—Hgt. 6, Wgt. 160
Art will fill the position of first
base very well. After playing on
last year’s varsity team, Art mans
the big mitt with ease.
Jenkins, Codge—Hgt. 5-4, Wgt. 110
Around second base Codge is a
man that very seldom misses that
grounder.
Besides being a "top
notch second baseman, Codge is al­
ways in the batter’s box aggravating
opposing pitchers with his low, low
crouch.
Lockwood, Ken—Hgt. 5-6, Wgt. 125
Aside from being called on to
pitch, Ken will see action in right
field and at first base. Another

Markowitz, A1—Hgt. 5-8, Wgt. 136
Shuttling between right field and

most dangerous defensive players.
Due to his great speed and whiplikethrow, A1 will have many putouts to his credit. On the basepaths, he is always a threat with
his good speed.
Teams Chosen
Rice, Steve—Hgt. 5-10, Wgt. 165
Thought to be one of the league’s
best catchers, Steve will be a great
asset to this year’s varsity. At bat
Steve has a fairly good eye and
some power.
Robinson, Neil—Hgt. 5-5, Wgt. 130
Neil occupies the strategic posi­
tion of center field with ease. His
speed and fine ai’m have made Neil
look like big league material. Up
at bat, he has a fine eye and is
murder on the base paths.
Segel, Jeff—Hgt. 5-11, Wgt. 144
Holding down the position of
shortstop is Jeff Segel. Jeff, hav­
ing one year of varsity experience,
should be a valuable asset. Last
year, Jeff batted with fair con­
sistency, and this year he should
be able to clout that ball. Besides
playing shortstop, Jeff also has a
great potential as a pitcher.
Thorsen, Tom—Hgt. 6-2, Wgt. 170
Along with the rest of the pitch­
ing staff, Tom will see a lot of
action this year. Tom’s fine fast
ball and curve seem to brighten up
Milne’s pitching hopes immensely.
At bat Tom is dangerous and seems
to score in crucial situations.

Gay Gabs
All last year’s records concerning
the physical fitness tests, so far
have been broken. Cathy Scott, a
senior last year, and former writer
of this column, lost both her record
for accuracy and for strength. She
threw 13 out of 20 balls in the circle
last year for accuracy, but Barbara
Richman, a ninth grader, and Rita
Wagner, a senior, went one over
her to throw 14 out of 20 balls in
tne circle. Ann Riley, a moaning,
musclesore, tenth grader, came out
C1 Sym class one day to be the new
record holder of the strength test.
She too topped Cathy Scott’s old
record of 52 by 25, making the new
record a hard to beat 77.
Gay Simmons, a 4' 11 y2" ninth
grader, and Dorothy Hoyle, a grace­
ful 5' ?" senior, took the agility test,
and both came out with a record
breaking 21, thus proving that it
doesn’t matter what size you are,
you can still do as well as your
taller or shorter classmate. Remem­
ber this, it might be on our final
written exams! Last year’s holder
of the agility test were Sue Gerhardt, then a seventh grader, and
Ann Quickenton ,a senior last year.
They ran sideways, back and forth
over the lines 19 times, just two
under this year’s record.
Records Fall
Records they say are made to be
broken, and this record was no ex­
ception. Sue Dey assumed the pre­
carious position required for the
balance test, and overshot last
year’s record by 53 seconds! The
record now stands at 122 seconds,
last year’s record was only 69 sec­
onds.
Last year Ruth Tompkins switched
legs perfectly 61 times in the en­
durance test, but to the dismay of
all last year’s winners, this and all
of their records have so far been
broken.
On the last day Sarah
Gerhardt, a senior, came out tops
with a score of 67. Linda Bearup,
a seventh grader, deserves recog­
nition too. for she took the test a
few weeks before Sarah did, and
came out with a high, then top
score, of 66.
To the present record holders
“congratulations,” and to the losers
of their records, “there’s always
next year!”
At the time this was written, the
speed test had not yet been taken,
so Hildi Lanzetta still holds the rec­
ord for the 50-yard dash.
Teams Place
In Junior High basketball play­
offs, Jill Kapner’s team came out
in first place by winning 5 out of
6 games. Cindy Newman was top
scorer for Jill’s team. Gail Kelch’s
team and Gay Simmons’ team came
in second with Mary Grear and
Mibby Taylor playing excellently
for their respective teams.
Playday, which was scheduled for
April 23, has been changed. It is
now to be May 14th. Everybody
come and have a good time plajung

finally arrived. Let’s not let it go

NOSTALGIA
A Waste of Time ?
TIM HAMILTON
There are four literary societies
in this school. Members of two of
these elite organizations take pride
in displaying themselves garbed in
rather lewd jackets bearing the
name of the organization to which
they belong. The biggest item in
the year’s agenda for the other two
groups is initiating new members
into their ranks. When asked to
relate their activities not one mem­
ber of two of the organizations
could recall any. The response of
the other two groups was similar.
In short, the four literary societies
in Milne: Quin, Theta Nu, Sigma,
and Adelphoi, are in reality little
more than meaningless notches on
their member’s activity lists.
' The • only activities which these
fraudulent clubs participate in seem
to involve providing entertainment
for one another or taking part in a
“jacket selling racket.” The mem­
bers of these organizations might
do well to think about the impres­
sion of Milne which they create.
We are all familiar with the letters
Q.T.S.A. What happens when some­
one asks what they stand for? Do
they have any meaning? It would
seem that they do. It is a motto
which all four organizations seem
to be sticking to steadfastly.—
Q.T.S.A.—Quiet Till Someone Asks
—If these societies don’t begin to
perform some worthwhile tasks, and
if the boys’ activities in particular
don’t at least begin to do some­
thing constructive, Milne might be
better off without them!
All That Jazz!
STU and SANDY—The Happiness
Boys
It appears to these columnists
that at long last, the “Rot” and Roll
fad has run its course.
When
Rhythm and Blues degenerated into
garbage, R. ’n R. was born. As
evidenced by the return to ballads
and Rhythm and Blues, we can de­
duce that the paganistic music of
gum-chewing teenagers is finally
being given the last rites.
Pop singers in the Johnny Mathis
and June Christy vein, and the folk­
singing Weavers are held in higher
esteem than Conway Twitty and
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins by most
people in Milne. Jazz, especially
the so-called modern variety, is
even more appreciated.
Some of this more subtle music
is now available in greater quan­
tity at record stores.
If you are in the market for
some extremely unusual music,
look into Chico Hamilton’s Gongs
East on World Pacific, and Ornette
Coleman plays Ornette Coleman
for the Prestige company.
We realize that it’s impossible to
cover all areas of the big wide
world of music in this column, so
we’ll apologize to the fans of any
type of music we have not covered.
In closing, we would like to rec­
ommend for your listening pleasure

ble variety in music listening and
appreciation.

was also a finalist in this year’s
Junior Miss contest.
Cathie’s plans for the future are
equally exciting. She will attend
either the University of Washing­
ton, Harpur, or Pennsylvania State,
and major in English and dramatics.
Upon
graduation
from
college,
Cathie wants to travel, travel,
travel!
One glimpse of her personality
reveals the cause of her success.
She is graduating from Milne as an
honor student, with a Regent’s
Scholarship and a National Merit
Certificate.
Cathie designs many
of her own clothes, reads and writes
a great deal, plays the piano, and
enjoys traveling. She has been to
the Pacific Northwest, Washington,
D. C., Canada, New England, and
the South.
Whichever college Cathie decides
to attend will be very fortunate
indeed.
JEFF SEGEL
It’s T.V. Tournament Time, and
bac kfor his seventy-fifth straight
match is Jeff Segel. Jeff’s been
averaging 270 for over 200 games.
Of course, this is all wishful
thinking, but it’s quite possible in
the next few years, for bowling is
one of Jeff’s many hobbies. Dur­
ing the time he has been able to
attend the Milne Bowling club, he
has had a 170 average. Jeff does
not confine all his interests to bowl­
ing.
He was star scorer of the
Milne basketball team, and is an
important
member
of
Coach
Grogan’s
championship
baseball
team. In his spare time, Jeff is a
member of Theta Nu. All these
activities have made Jeff one of the
more sporting members of the senior
class.
Next year Jeff hopes to attend
Siena, where he plans to return
that school to its former basketball
glory.
SUE DEY
There are many Milne seniors
who entered our fair school as
bright-eyed cheery-faced seventh
graders straight from good ole
P. S. 16. This particular one is
Sue Dey who is called “Chop,”
short for “Chop Suey,” by some of
her more intimate friends (?).
“Chop,” or Sue, whichever you
prefer is treasurer of Quin, a past
secretary of FHA, and an enthusi­
astic member of the Senior Room
Painting Committee. You can read­
ily see that in addition to being
bright-eyed and cheery-faced, she
is also very busy.
One of Sue’s favorite pastimes is
being chauffeured around town by
another Milne senior. Our Sue is
an athlete too, being adept at all
sports, with ice skating her particu­
lar favorite.
She is very fortunate to have been
accepted by two colleges—Buffalo
University and Potsdam State, but
she plans to attend Potsdam and
major in French (Dr. Wasley: Take
note).

for the Crimson and White.”
“The What?”
“The Crimson and White. You

“Oh, yeah.”
“Anyway, aren’t you Jim McClel­
land, star of the Milne basketball
team?”
“What basketball team?”
“Never mind.”
“When did you first become in­
terested in sports.”
“At the age of three. I began to
chase girls.”
“Not that kind of sport.”
“Are you a member of Milne’s
baseball team?”
“It’s not a team—it’s a group.”
“Are you engaged in any other
activities besides sports?”
“Well, I am president pf Theta
Nu-best club in the school.”
“How did you manage that?”
“They were looking for anybody.
I was the first one to come along.”
“What college do you plan to
attend?”
“Well, I don’t have any particular
one in mind right now, but I’ll in­
form you when I make up my
mind.”
“Thanks.”
By JAN WELT
In the beginnipg there was us.
And then there was nursery school*
kindergarten and primary school.
We sadly left our old friends in our
old school and entered, apprehen­
sively, a new school to meet new
friends and learn new things. The
American high schools, the back­
bone of our country’s high level
education, contribute such a great
deal to each student’s knowledge.
They also mold the characters of
the students.
Milne, our own
school, has likewise- added a vast
store of knowledge to its students
and produced well rounded citizens.
Let us take a look at the total effect.
GRADE 7: “I wonder what the
inside of the girls’ locker room
looks like?” Girls—ugh! I wonder
what it is like to have a winning
team. How much did you say that
fourth floor elevator ticket was? I
wonder what the senior room looks
like.
GRADE 8: “I wonder what the
inside of the girls’ locker room
looks like?” Would you like to go
to the canteen with me Friday? I
wonder what it is like to have a
winning team? Howdya like to buy
a fourth floor elevator ticket, kid?
I wonder what the senior room
looks like.
GRADE 9: “I wonder what the
inside of the girls’ locker room looks
like?” “Hellloo Beautiful” I won­
der what it feels like to have a win­
ning team. Let’s make a record!
I wonder what the senior room
looks like.
GRADE 10: “I wonder what the
inside of the girls’ locker room
looks like?” “Five dollars for a
corsage!” I wonder what it feels
like to have a winning team. Let’s
make a movie. I wonder what the
senior room looks like.
GRADE 11: “I wonder what the
inside of the girls’ locker room
looks like.” “Nice moon isn’t it?”
I wonder what it feels like to have
a winning team. Let’s make a mess.
I wonder what the senior room
looks like.
GRADE 12: “But Dr. Fossieck, I
just wanted to see what it looked
like inside.” “Won’t you come up
and see my etchings?” I wonder
what it is like to have a winning
team. Let’s make a mess of the
Humanities trip, (and by George
that ' wasn’t hard!)
Gee-gosharootie.
And this brings us to the end of
the six most formative years of our
lives? Cha-Cha-Cha. They’ve been
most enlightening, haven’t they?
