Salutary Neglect?
We enjoy on unparalleled high school en­
tertainment package at Milne this year—no
theatric or dramatic outlet due to a lack of
personnel or facilities.
Athletics at Milne are confined to what
one coach can provide with the help of volun­
teer supervisors and a minimum of money for
local help of local college students.
This current double lack of facilities and
personnel is a result of the Milne student's
official position at the end of the line no
matter how important or normal his need.
Milne has to share its major facilities, such
as Page Gym and Page Hall, with the univer­
sity, and naturally Milne's needs come last.
The sharing will hopefully end, however, in
that far distant day (maybe next year?) when
the university finally is established in its new
campus.
The university encourages Milne to provide
such extracurricular activities as may be pos­
sible using Milne supervisors, but there is
little apparent interest in this field. This is
reflected by Milne's perpetual struggle to
secure athletic funds and the lack this year
of a school play, a traditional event.
New clerical personnel in the guidance
office is a hopeful sign of increased attention
to Mline, however meager.
Milne and Milne students have thrived in
this era of ''salutary neglect," another way of
saying a student will tend to be independent
and academic if he's extracurricularly lim­
ited.
A full review of Milne's needs should be
precipitated soon by the possible enlargement
of the student body. Milne could still be im­
proved by a little university attention to such
normal high school details as provision of
adequate staff in all fields, not just the
academic.
Blackjack Anyone?
Monrobot XI has arrived, the answer to
every blackjack player's prayer (the computer
tends to lose a bit). Now that, this education­
al advance has been secured for Milne on a
temporary basis, the problem is to maintain
it or its equivalent permanently. A measily
fifteen thousand dollars of State money would
maintain Milne as the perfect upstate educa­
tional demonstration site for computers, a ne­
cessary adjunct of society in the future.

Ode to the Computer
How can I use thee?
Let me count the ways.
Or better still—you count.
You’re so much better at it—
As a matter of fact, you’re better
than I am at everything . . . Since
you’re so smart—why did they put
desks in the Senior Room? (try and
figure that one out). And why can’t
you learn to program yourself?
I’ve heard you are a pretty good
blackjack player, and (get ready)
that’s why I called this “Owed to
the Computer” (sorry about that).
Dpon a Hill
I stood upon a hill
and gazed down
upon the magnificent splendor
that lay before rhe.
And I thought
as I looked upon
nature’s enchanting scene,
What makes man trample
on the small, living
objects of life
which lay in his path?
I thought, if only
man could learn
to walk around
the growing sprout
instead of squeezing out
its life
under a well-worn sole.
To reach my spot
upon the hill,
I too traveled
upon a path
where life struggled
to survive,
but I walked around
the growing life
that so newly had developed.
Still,
I have far to go
before I reach
the summit.

Traditionally, Milne seniors have
been given more privileges and re­
sponsibilities than have the students
of grades 7-11. The Class of 1966

Varsity Ends 9-9
Milne’s Red Raiders ended their basketball campaign with a 9-9 wonlost record. To summarize the final four contests, Milne was defeated by
St. Joseph’s, bounced back to beat Ravena and Waterford, and, in the
finale, lost to arch-rival Albany Academy.

April 16, the Milne Girls Athletic
Assocation will sponsor a playday
for all Milne girls. Encompassing
activities such as volleyball, gym­
nastics and varied relay races, the
day will begin at 10 a.m. and con­
clude around 1 o’clock.
An all school bowling tournament
was held on March 23 and 30 at the
Playdium. Each grade was allowed
to enter an unlimited number of
teams, each consisting of five girls.
Points were to be rewarded toward
the school spirit contest for the class
with the best participation. Divided
into senior and junior high sections,
the top team scores from each di­
vision were entered in an area
mail-o-gram tournament.
The candy sale, which proved to
be a highly successful project, will
most likely replace the annual
magazine sale of the GAA.
The Leaders Corp, formed earlier
in the year, has increased its mem­
bership this marking period. The
qualifications, for these girls wear­
ing the blue and white belt, are: an
“A” average in Physical Education;
an overall “B” average academi­
cally; participation in GAA spon­
sored activities; and excellent citi­
zenship. If any girl fails to meet
one of the requirements, she is
automatically dropped from the
squad.
On March 26, the bowling team
traveled to Hudson for a tourna­
ment open to all area schools. Both
the junior and senior high teams
were victorious and each girl re­
ceived a trophy for her effort. The
junior high team was composed of
Poz
Hohenstein,
Penny
Parry,
Kathy Danger, Pam Auerbach and
Pat Brodie. The senior high team
was Marlene Abrams, Sue Hohen­

Lewis expressed the feeling that the
season’s outcome was as expected,
except for the two Academy losses.
In general, Coach stated that the
team overcame a serious height
disadvantage and numerous in­
juries to progress as far as it did.
To officially end the season, the
annual Incoming-Outgoing basket­
ball game was held. The incom­
ing varsity jumped off to a quick
lead, 17-9, but behind the deadly
shooting of Bill Murphy and the re­
bounding of Jim Gewirtzman, the
seniors bounced back to a 32-31
halftime lead.
Increasing their
margin, the outgoing varsity led
47-41 in the third quarter. Taking
advantage of their numbers, the
rested incoming varsity rebounded
! to outlast their elder opponents and
surged forward to win, 67-58. Bob
Blanton led the ’66-’67 team with 22
points and Bill Murphy chalked up
33 markers to lead the seniors’
scoring parade.
Last week, The Knickerbocker
News published its All-Albany se­
lections. Bob Blanton, the area’s
second leading scorer with a 21.7
average, was named to the second
team.
Receiving honorable men­
tion were John Margolis and Bill
Murphy. The squads were chosen
by the local referees.
JV’s Champs
Milne’s Junior Varsity basketball
team finished the season with a 17-1
record. In doing so, the team cap­
tured the unofficial Jayvee team
title of the Central Hudson Valley
League.
The J.V.’s defeated Ravena, Water­
ford, St. Joseph’s and Academy in
its final games of the season.
At the last game of the season,
the boys presented a trophy to their
coach, Fred Ackerman, in apprecia­

The Losers
KARYL KERMANI
“The majority of Milne students are mature enough to handle senior
privileges and at least a notice of the withdrawal of the senior room.”
Karyl Kermani receives many opportunities to draw these conclusions as
treasurer of Quin, business manager of G.A.A. and member of Ski Club.
This summer, for the third year, Karyl will be a counselor at High­
land House, a camp for handicapped children. Karyl hopes to make this
type of work her career.
Wheelock and Buffalo College are attempting to grab Karyl but she
is still holding out for Springfield.
BILL MURPHY
Since the top scorer on the Varsity basketball team is also among the
top ten in the Capital District, coming in second is not bad. Bill Murphy,
finishing out his best season, has also made the Knickerbocker News team
of the week twice. Next, “Murph” will be going out for baseball. He
also finds time to be a member of his church fellowship.
In Bill’s opinion, senior privileges have only gotten lost in the con­
fusion of a new administration.
A hopeful physical education major, “Murph” is waiting to hear from
Bridgeport.
SHELLEY BOND
Armed with a cook book in one hand and a typewriter in the other,
Shelley Bond will soon be a career woman. Milne’s top scorer on the
Betty Crocker exam is also president of F.H.A., vice-president of Am­
bassadors and a member of Quin.
Ironically, Shelley is also chairman of the senior room redecorating
committee. She feels that student organizations such as F.H.A. help the
faculty, but faculty help to the seniors and students in general, is grudg­
ingly given.
Shelley Bond will meet Mildred Elley next year after which she hopes
to work in Boston.
TOM LEUE
If you think the Golden-Eye, “suppression” and the S.D.S. (Students
for a Democratic Society) are strictly for college students, you are over­
looking Tom Leue.
Tom also finds time to be vice-president of Milnemen, treasurer of
his church youth group and a member of the music council.
He also claims membership in the N.G.C.M. (National Grandfather
Clock Makers), the N.F.C.C. (National Fight the Conservatives Club), and
the I^.B.B.O.S.R.C. (National Bring Back Our Senior Room Club).
Tom says he has bitten his fingernails off to the elbow waiting to
hear from Stoneybrook and Buffalo University, where he could use his
Regents Scholarship, and ANTIOCH, where his major will be biology.
PAUL SCHRODT
No one has ever corne up with any famous Milne graduates, but it
might be wise to preserve the name Paul Schrodt. An aspiring political
science major, Paul is gaining valuable experience as president of the
senior class, MBAA, the National Honor Society and as chairman of TAPE
and business manager of the yearbook.
When he does find some leisure time he usually occupies it with
sports and thinking about girls.
Paul’s opinion: “Most seniors take for granted the privileges they are
actually very fortunate in receiving. However, since they constitute tradi­
tion at Milne, they should not be lifted without reason or explanation.”
Paul’s number one is Princeton, but he is also waiting to hear from
Brown, Amhurst, and Wesleyan. He is a National Merit finalist and a
Regents Scholarship winner.
