George Erwin
New President
After a successful campaign,
George Erwin, Milne’s Navy vet-
eran, was elected President of the
stuuent Council by the Milne stu-
«ents on May 2/. John Kinum took
the Junior ign position. They
wall come into office in September.
ne voting climaxed a week of bal-
sung.
, waiensive work had been done the
ween ;receaing the elections by the
nominees’ committees on posters,
Gisplays and various other election
material. One sign made by Don-
Talbot and his committee was that
of a ballot box with a wheel con-
stantly turning to put ballots in for
Talbot. Others of special interest
were pinned on bulletin boards with
~palt” on them. “Salt” is the name
given to George Erwin, our next
year’s president.
When the day finally arrived and
we were in the auditorium, posters
were on the wall, hung from the
balcony, and thrown down in the
form of paper airplanes. The as-
sembly was even serenaded by the
rwin Quartet, its members being
Don Mapes, Bob Clark, and Bob
aandles.
Mr. Erwin’s platform stated that
he wished to bring the school org-
anizations closer together to func-
tion as a body rather than separate
units. Mr. K.num wants to build
up interest in various organizations
in the junior high and try for big-
ger and better dances.
Both junior and senior high plat-
forms were arranged to catch your
eye and also your votes. The final
counting showed in the senior high,
Erw.n, Talbot, Einstein and Pelle-
tier, in that order. The junior high
voted Kinum, McDonough, Ash-
worth and Ball in that order.
George, who is better known as
“Salt,” spent 14 months in the Navy.
He was elected president of his
homeroom for two consecutive
years. The old Insignia Club was
originated and presided over by the
same George. He also played bas-
ketball and baseball for Milne.
Since his return from the service,
he has become very popular among
his classmates.
Said Mr. Erwin recently, “I want
to thank all the swell people who
aided me in my campaign and also
those who voted for me. I will do
my best to fulfill their expectations
of my abilities. With the school
behind the Student Council I am
sure we can keep the student body
well satisfied and the Council run-
ning with clocklike precision.”
John Kinum was elected to the
presidency of the Junior High Stu-
dent Council. In the seventh grade
he was an active member of the
Council. He was, also, vice-presi-
dent of his homeroom.
Mr. Kinum promises, “A sugges-
tion box in the principal's office to
aid the Council in carrying out the
ideas and cmbitions of the stu-
dents.”

Seniors Capture
College Choices
An announcement has come from
Dr. Kenney’s office that four of
Milne’s seniors have already won
scholarships. Heading the list is
Jess Barnet, who has received a
half tuition scholarship to Syracuse
University. Milne has reason to be
proud of Jess, as he was one of the
Albany boys chosen for the honor
from a group of one hundred, In
this group, each boy was from the
Albany area, was a senior, was in
the upper quarter of the class, and
was planning to go to Syracuse.
The award was made by the Al-
bany Alumni Association, as it is
every year. To decide who in th's
group should be honored, the asso-
ciation based the awarding on the
student’s average in high school,
extra curricular activities, letters of
recommendation, and the final deci-
sion accompanied a personal inter-
view.
Three Others Win
Scholarships have also been re-
ceived by three other Milne seniors.
Neil McNeil has been awarded one
to R.P.I, Ruth Ambler was honored
by a scholarship to Russell Sage
College, and Betty Goewy has re-
ceived one to Syracuse.
State and Cornell scholarship

Why Let George Do It All?
A startling situation was called to our at-
tention recently when a candidate for Student
Council Presidency declined his nomination on
the grounds of lack of cooperation from the
Student Body. This nominee stated that his
classmates refused to support the organizations
in our school and that we merely stood on the
sidelines and criticized those who were trying
to help Milne improve itself. He also said
that there was a tendency among some of us
to regard anyone who assumed the responsi-
bility of running one of these organizations as
a fool for doing so.
If our fellow Milnite was stating the truth
in his opinions, and we are reasonably sure
he was, then his statements might be the ex-
planation of the fact that there is a small group
of students who always seem to be at the head
of every committee, activity, and organization.
When a few people do all the work for a large
group, too many burdens are placed on their
shoulders. The result is the organizations lose
their efficiency.
Next year let's try to help them out. Instead
of criticism let us lessen their work by doing
a little of it ourselves. Join the group by
proving that you're not afraid of responsibility.
You will be glad you did later, on in life.
Our leaders need our cooperation. They
must have it if our activities are to be success-
ful. During the past year there have been
many changes in Milne. With almost no ex-
ceptions we have opposed them. Yet later
we found these changes to be improvements.
In the future should we cooperate with them
or oppose them in their ideas?
Vacation Ahead
Two weeks from today we'll be on summer vaca-
tion. Those dreaded exams will be all over. Some of
the gang will be leaving us never to return as students.
To them we wish the best of luck. We know they
will be a success wherever they go. In the fall the
class of 1953 will replace them, And so another
chapter in the history of the Milne School draws to a
close. Have fun kids, we'll sce you in Septemb
for the week-end .
Spring is really here and carnival time is too! Many
of Milne's happy family were seen walking in circles
after rides like the “Rocket” and the “Octopus:

Many sc..ools taroughout the
country have add.a driving
courses to their schedule of stud-
ies. Such a course would require
student interest in order to be a
success, Already many of the
boys and girls in the Senior High
have licenses to drive an automo-
bile. We wondered what your
ideas on the subject were.
What is your opinion on a driv-
ing course in Milne?
Ed Bigley: It would be a great
idea. It would make better drivers
of many of us all.
Barbara Sandberg: I sure do, and
I am sure mother and father agree.
It bound to make us better
drivers.
Susie Armstrong: Yes, I would
rather learn at school because
everyone would be learning to-
gether. I also think all the parents
would approve,
Carol Nichols: I most certainly do,
because if we learn the right way
right from the beginning it will be
easier.
Stuart Carswell: It would be
swell. Learning to drive a car is
very useful and it has many ad-
vantages.
Put Barnes: I sure think it would
be wonderful, I don’t think that
there is anyone in Milne who
wouldn’t want to learn to drive,
Dick French: I think it would be
good for the girls and Ed Lux, but
the boys don’t need it,
Judy Hunting: Yes, it gives the
kids a chance to learn the right
way to drive and there won’t be so
many dumb drivers on the road,
Peter Dunning: Sure, because
you would get to know the funda
mental; of driving. Most of the
students who drive don’t even know
what goes on in a car.
Ben Mendel; Sure, teach young
kids how to drive early, it's easier,
in Salisbury: Yes, it would
be swell. It would teach lots to
drive who ordinarily wouldn’t learn
to drive. Everything would be kept
up-to-date by the State Police,
probably.
Barbara White: Why I think it
would be good. It would teach you
the right and careful way to learn
the rules.
Margie Rumsey: Wonderful! It
gives an opportunity to those that
might not have a car at home.
Joan Austin: Yes, it would be
very good. It might teach some of
the crazy kids around Milne to
drive well and carefully.
Doris Long: I don’t think it would
be good, because you can’t learn
as much by listening to a teacher as
by getting practice. “Practice makes
perfect.”
Betty Pfeiffer: Yes, I do. The
younger you are the easier it is to
learn. When you are young you
don’t have as many fears.
Frank Coburn: No, because there
are too many girls who would take
it, and girls don’t make good
drivers.
Bob Kelly (Soph.
will learn how to di
get in a car.
George Erwin: It would be al-
right if it would not take. up time

With Milne and Bethlehem Cen-

their tennis meet, Milne rallied to
upset B.C.H.S. 7-5 after trailing 2-4

Mendel had little difficulty dispos-

" Pre-Date Jitters
By JANE SIMMONS
T've got the new dress,
And the shoes,
And the hat,
And even the date—
So that should be that.
But in spite of
‘The dress,
And the shoes,
And the hat,
Still I have worries;
Of what will we chat?
‘Cause Mac is a doll—
He’s much sweeter than candy,
But talking to him’s not
Like talking to Andy.
For sometimes I’m still
‘And silent,
And calm,
And then I explode,
Like the first Atom bomb!
And tho’ Mac is a doll
h sweeter than candy,
isn’t accustomed to me,
As is Andy.
Yes, I've got the new dress,
And the shoes,
And the ha
And even the.date—
So that should be that.
But what if my chatter
Should kill a romance?
