SENIORS OBTAIN Blythe, Cowley, Armstrong Appointed
CLASS PRIVILEGES Members of Milne School Faculty
By WESLEY MOODY
Have you noticed the great)
throngs of seniors headed for the
main office lately? Well, to tell the
truth most of them never go all the
way. Why? ause last week
our beloved Senior Room became
available to those students slav-
ing (?) for their last few credis
so they may graduate. Amid many
restrictions flow privileges that
mean a great deal to everyone.
Everyone To Obey Rules |
Who anyway, if you can’t
smoke, drink, gamble, stick your |
heads out the windows and yell to
your friends, throw miscellaneous
articles out the windows, eat your
lunch here, play the record player
too loud, or arrive too early in the
morning or stay too late in the
afternoon. After all, if everyone
obeys these rules faithfully, we may
obtain our off campus privi'eges
sooner than any other class in the
history of Milne.
Everyone will agree it has been
an awful temptation to cross Albany
High’s lawn, but the urge is sub-
dued by the thought of going to Ed's
on our lunch hour.
Committee Chooses Comedy
Since comedy is a favorite on
both young and old the senior class
play will be of this type. Committee
members unanimously agreed on a
three-act play entitled “We Shook
The Family Tree.” It is sincerely
believed that all will enjoy the
situations involved, and it is hoped
that when the time ives both
students and parents, along with
will attend the perform:

Dodger or Yankee?
After a long hard fight, the pennant races
in the major leagues finally ended with the
Giants and Yankees on top.
Why are the Yanks and Giants on top? The
Dodgers rested on their laurels until it was too
late. Cleveland was good, but not quite good
enough. The Yanks fought all the way, while
the Giants chose the hard rough road to the
top.
All of us at some time or other will have
a challenge to meet. Remember —no team
ever won a pennant for second place, and no
person ever gets top pay for doing an as-
sistant’s job.
No one can win your pennant for you. Which
will you be. . . a Dodger, Giant, Indian, or
Yankee? It’s your fight, and only you can
decide the winner.

PLAYERS JOIN LEGION TEAMS
Six members of last year’s Milne
baseball team spent part of their
summer vacation gaining additional |
experience by playing on the
Blanchard Post American Legion
team in Delmar. The six who will
all be back to play for Milne again
this year are Dee Parker, a senior |
and pitcher; Burny Walker, third |
base; Bill Wade, second base; Doug
Billion, shortstop, and Dave Clarke,
another pitcher, all juniors. The
only sophomore represented is Art
Melius, a catcher, All of the boys

Delmar team which was coached by
Pete DiLello, a resident of Delmar.
Most of the other members of the
team are students of Bethlehem
Central High School and the team’s
home games were played on the |
diamond of that school
Post Breaks Tie
Although Blanchard Post did not
come out on the top of the league,
it had a large part in determining
the winner by beating one of the
two teams tied for the league lead
late in the season, Dave Clarke
pitched a large part of this game
and had a no-hitter for the first
four innings. Dave also pitched a
one to nothing shutout later in the
season, Dee Parker also had a part
in the success of the team by pitch-
ing its first victory of the year after
losing its first game.

Mastedons
Fascinate
Juniors
By DORIS PERLMAN
Our history teacher gave us a
nice little assignment the other day.
We were to go down to the State
Museum and obtain material for an
oral report on, of all things, fossils.
Now we have never had any pa
ticular grudge against fossils,
In
fact we think they’re rather inter-
esting. So, obligingly enough, we
trotted down Washington Avenue to
the Educational Building wherein
said fossils are housed.
Indian Encounter
We took the elevator to the fifth
floor where we stepped into a
dimly-lit bluish exhibit of some-
jthing or other. It was too dark to
‘distinguish just what it was. Seeing
no floor directory in sight, we
turned and followed our nose, hop-
ing to come upon the fossils sooner
or later,
We went up some s and sud-
denly found ourselves standing be-
tween an Iroquois family eating
supper and a preserved grave of a
dead Indian woman, Since dead
Indians do not exactly appeal to us,
we hastily hacked down the stairs.
Moth-Eaten Mastedon
Turning in the opposite direction,
we wandered through the quartz
exhibit, back through the bluis!
room, and into the room that con-
our old stuffed friend, the
Cohoes mastedon. Since you simply
can't visit the State Museum _with-
out taking a god look at the Cohoes
mastedon, we stopped to do the
conventional thing and gazed at
him (or it, if you prefer) with the
amount of awe. If you ask
a bit moth-eaten around the
Ah, but we mustn't get off the
track—back to the fossils. At long
last we saw what looked like the
word “fossil.” We made a mad
dash for the sign. When we ap-
proached it we saw that we were
indeed correct. The ,sign, however,
asked in bold type? “What is a
fossil?” Ye gods, if the State
Museum didn’t know what a foss
was, how were we supposed to find
out? Anyway, we entered the fo
room prepared for

us. How could one report on all of
them? We would have to spend
the rest of our life in the State
Museum! Maybe we'd finally die
there and they'd put us in the dead
Indian exhibit. Oh, no! Not that!
Scorpion Scares Scribbler
While musing on these pleas
subjects, we had been walking aim-
lessly among the fossil Sud-
denly we bumped smack into a
replica of an ancient scorpion. The
thing was so realistic that it nearly
seared us silly. Its small green eyes
ed us. It seemed to ask:
are you doing here?” For a
moment we wondered. Then we
remembered the dear sweet history
teacher who had sent us here. Oh,
well it wasn’t her fault. The scor-.
pion seemed to move! This was
absolutely the end.

Hollander Tours
U.S.; Gives Views
Page Hall auditorium on Monday,
October 1, was the scene of an as-
sembly based on the Crusade for
Freedom,
John Crynes, featured speaker at
the assembly, was born in Geleen,
Holland. One of six children, John
went to high school in Geleen, and
was 14 years old when the war
began. After the war, he went to
college in Amsterdam where he
studied mechanical engineering.
Mr. Crynes feels, that while he
has no Leftist leanings, the colleges
and universities in America do not
give their students a true picture
of the world. He says that, in his
opinion, too much emphasis is placed
on economics.
‘Also, Mr, Crynes feels sure that
the future of the world lies in the
hands of youth, and it is our job
to live up to “the glorious tradition
of our forefather
Albany held a special attraction
for Mr, Crynes due to the fact that
it was founded by Hollanders, John
says “the architecture in
your buildings reminds

Since his arrival in America, Mr.
Crynes has visited most of the 48
states. He finds the United States
varying and beautiful. In his words,
“To me, there is no point in decid-

| DEFOREST PARKER
|
When the Parker's of Swamp-
scott, Massachusetts had a baby boy,
on May 10, 1934, they named him
DeForest. They probably didn’t
imagine that he’s some day be
directing traffic in Milne, or playing
American Legion baseball, or head-
ing the Senior Student Council at
Milne.
But he is. Dee, our curly-haired
senior “garcon” has used the ex-
perience gained from being presi
dent of his class and homeroom
since ninth grade to enable him to
lead Senior Student Council.
If Dee decides to go to West Point
jor Annapolis as he plans to do, he
probably will have no trouble in
being accepted as he ranks high in
\the class. Dee is thinking of mak-
ing a lifetime career out of either
of these two servi
| Dee’s favorite sport is baseball,
| but he has played football and bas-
ketball al since he came to Milne.
Adelphoi and Hi-Y have gained
his membership. He is also a mem-
ber of M.B.A.A.
