highest scoring students in each
state and in United States terri­
tories. In New York this group
contains 85 out of 57,171 eligible
students, or the top 1.5%.

welcomes
Mrs.
Mary
Dempster, Miss Margaret Farrell,
Mrs. Mary Jane Wilson, and Mr.
George Whitney to its faculty this
fall. Twenty-four new students in
addition to the seventh grade will
also be seen in Milne.
Eighth grade math, elementary
algebra, and modern math will be
taught by Miss Farrell, who received
her degrees from the College of St.
Rose and from Boston College. She
taught in Bridge Falls, New York,
at Chatham, and at Shaker High

mathematics.
Sports,
especially
bowling and skiing, are favorite
spare-time activities of Miss Farrell.
When Mrs. Harriet Norton took
a year off in 1956-57, a Miss Mary
Jane Dewey took her place. Again
this year the same teacher will re­
place Mrs. Norton, but she is now
Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson took her
degrees at State college, and also
studied at Boston University. When

Shaker High School.
Mr. Whitney, who received his
bachelor’s degree from Colby and
is working at State for his master’s,
will replace Mr. Daniel Ganeles at
Milne while Mr. Ganeles is super­
vising off campus. Mr. Whitney
taught at Worcester, Mass., and
Perry, N. Y., before spending two
years as an off-campus supervisor
for State. He will teach the eighth
and eleventh grades at Milne.

How about the 1961 yearbook being a little
less arty and more down to earth? We will
not take time to dispute the aesthetic value
of some previous yearbooks, but most people
prefer memories, not art. Whatever hap­
pened to the seniors' activities, their nick­
names, class prophecy, and personal com­

If you talk to some Milnites, especially
seniors, you may hear talk of the "Old Milne."
Something has happened to Milne which is
not good. School organizations are at their
lowest ebb, new members practically non­
existent. Adelphoi and Theta Nu, regardless
of their merit or value, at least used to be
social clubs. Now they are practically senior
clubs exclusively.
Underclassmen are not
filling the membership. The same is true for
Hi-Y, although the programs are interesting
and overtures have been made time and again
to underclassmen to join. Of course, this is
the boys' business whether or not they join
these clubs. Girls seem to have more razzledazle extra curricularly speaking and their
clubs are not suffering from the lack of mem­
bership that the boys' are.
However, Milne does not end at 2:22.
There are chances for a person to improve
himself and get a lot more out of school.
Perhaps you think you're getting too much
already.
However, by the time you are
seniors, you are going to realize you were
cheated out of many interesting hours of fun
and fellowship and will wish you joined more
organizations. To get the maximum use of
these clubs one should join in the sophomore
year, sc "gather 'round chillun, and jine up."

the place is completely different.
Soft lights and tasteful, if bizarre,
decoration give the coffeehouse a
sophisticated and unique atmos­
phere.
This cannot be stressed
enough, that the Smart Set is com­

also devoid of beatniks.

Coach Grogan, a

lege star athlete will take a posi­
tion as guidance counselor in the
Guilderland Central school system
starting October 1, 1960.
The sports program this Milne
year for girls, will be essentially the
same as last year. We have begun
with volleyball, to be followed by
speedball for the junior high, and
hocky for the senior high. Other
sports to be taken up this year will
be trampoline, basketball, softball,
and dancing.
In previous years,

This

Instead of folk dancing, we will
learn American social dancing.
Never fear girls, we shall have
partners.
Every Wednesday we

will also learn dancing.
Coached Basketball and Baseball
“Coach” did all of his coaching at
Milne except for a three-year Navy
hitch, serving as a naval officer. He
directed and coordinated the boys
physical education program at Milne
as well as coaching varsity baseball
and basketball, the only major
sports at Milne. Back in the 1940’s
he was also head football coach
until the sport was discontinued.
’52-’56 Best Years
Grogan produced some good bas­
ketball teams during the 40’s but his
best years proved to be during 1952
through 1956.
During this time
such names as Russ Peck, Bill Hoff,
and Paul Howard spurred the
Raiders on to 38 victories. Dur­
ing the years prior to this period
Mr. Grogan also developed a host
of other stars including “Criss
Cross,” and Ed Lux.
In baseball “Coach” developed
many strong teams. The last two
years he has produced two class C
runner ups in the section II tourna­
ment, as well as a Capital District
League Campion in ’56 and a runnerup in ’58.

SUMMER
SPORTLIGHTS
Many Milne students took part in
summer sports this year. Tom Ben­
nett (“63”) played Babe Ruth base­
ball this year. Outstanding at first
base or as pitcher, Tom pitched and
batted his team to the city Babe
Ruth championship. Another Milne
star was Mike Daggett (“62”) who
played American Legion baseball
this summer with Fort Orange Post.
This post took the American Legion
title by whipping a great Colonie
team that went to the state cham­
pionships. Mike was instrumental
in many of his team’s victories with
his tremendous hitting prowess.

Highlights
Milne’s History
By TIM HAMILTON
As the school year begins, it is
particularly important that we know
something of Milne’s history. It is
important not only that we take
pride in past achievements but also
that we look forward to even
greater triumphs.
The year 1960 marks the 70th an­
niversary of the high school. Before
the establishment of a high school,
a pi’actice school was connected
with the college. This school has
been in existence in one form or
another for 95 years.
The school had various names
through the years. From 1845 to
1867 Milne was known as the Ex­
perimental school. Later, the name
was changed to the Model school,
a name now considered rather
iornic by many due to the various
idiosyncracie's which make Milne
unique. From 1890 to 1904, Milne
was known as the High School De­
partment of the State Normal
School. At last, in 1916, the school
was renamed after Dr. William J.
Milne who for a generation was
president of what is now Albany
state. The school has a very fine
oil painting of Dr. Milne which
serves as a constant reminder of
the man whose name Milne bears.
Following are some important
dates in Milne’s history:
1890-1895—Quin and Adelphoi

A solemn silence pervades the
room. Someone coughs, and there
is a sneeze heard. Another meet­

gun. Heading this year’s council as
president will be Sandy Berman.
Sandy has been an active boy
since coming to Milne in the seventh
grade.
At one time or another
Sandy has been on the junior var­
sity basketball team, varsity base­
ball team, and has been a member
of that illustrious organization,
Adelphoi.
Born on October 12, 1943, Sandy
entered Milne from P. S. 16. He
soon proved to be adept at such
things as goofing off, and handing
in homework papers three days late.
He was recognized then as future

TIM HAMILTON
Last year a group of Milnites
journied to Troy to see one of the
more versatile members of this
year’s senior class in action. The
place was the R.P.I. Field house
and the performer was Tim Hamil­
ton, giving an exhibition of his fine
ice skating.
Tim, an all-around
athlete, also made last year’s junior
varsity basketball team.
This year Tim holds the all-im­
portant job of vice-president of the
student council. In this capacity,
he will fill in for the president
when needed, and will head the as­
sembly committee. In addition, Tim
will be responsible, this year, for
handling Adelphoi’s rapidly dimin­
ishing finances.
Born in Washington, D. C., Tim
lived in Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, and Michigan before com­
ing to Albany. Upon leaving Milne,
Tim hopes to attend college, but is
undecided as to which one.

Day in 1944 when Margie Childers
made her auspicious entrance on
planet Earth. In the sixteen short
years since that fateful day, Margie
has risen to great heights. Last
year she was president of her home­
room, the pianist for Junior choir,
the eleventh grade representative
on GAA council, and secretary of
Sigma and the Junior class. She
was just recently elected secretary
of Senior Student council for the
forthcoming year. Margie is also
the secretary of her youth fellow­
ship at church.
This summer Margie spent some
time at Wlnnisook, New York, in
the
Catskills,
where
mountain
climbing was her favorite activity.
She has also been busy practicing
the piano for a concert in October
at the Albany Institute of History
and Art.
After graduating from Milne,
Margie hopes to attend Oberlin
College where she will take a double
major in chem—zoology and music.

has made it clear that the Smart
Set is geared to a young person’s
budget and that one may stay all
evening for a surprisingly small
amount of money.

C & W Past
In 1904 the Crimson and White
first appeared as a literary maga­
zine. When all of the records of
this magazine were lost in a fire,
the editors felt that the Crimson
and White should be expanded into
a newspaper. Thus, in 1931, the
first issue of the Crimson and
White as a weekly mimeographed
newspaper appeared.
In 1932 the paper bought its first
ton of paper. In March of 1932
Milne’s first delegation of eight
students went to the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association.
