Supervisor Arrives | FOREIGN POLICY
To Teach Business
By BARBARA SANDBERG
When Mr. Roswell Fairbanks left
Milne at “Uncle Sam’s” request, a
large gap in the commerce depart-
ment had to be filled. Miss Norma
Ginkich arrived on Monday, Nov-
ember 13, to become the new com-
merce supervisor.
A graduate of State College for
Teachers, Albany, Miss Ginkich is
supervising three -personal typing
classes, one business law class and
one bookkeeping class. She said,
“Milnites are just terrific and
friendly. It’s a real pleasure to
york with them,
Discusses Colleges
Miss Ginkich is pretty friendly
herself. Be‘ore long, this inter-
wer found the discussion wan-
vi
dering to a topic dear to almost),
every senior: colleges, the evalua-
tion and selection of them, We
touched on the prominence of social
life and extra-curricular activities
in colleges. In Miss Ginkich’s
cpinion, they are of great import-
ance in a well-rounded college life,
but they should never overshadow
the real aim of college education.
At this point we realized our con-
versation had wandered from the
business at hand so we promptly
brought it back. Some more vital
statistics were extracted. Namely,
that Long Island, New York is Miss
Ginkich’s birthplace and that she
attended high school at Mineola,
New York. Qualifying her as a
commerce supervisor, she has had
selling and office experience in New
York City and Albany.
Hi-Y Bill Provides
Much Controversy
Milne’s Hi-Y organization sub-
mitted _a_ bill at the Northeastern
New York State convention of the
Hi-Y recently.
It was first presented to the gen-
eral assembly, and then to the com-
mittee where it was passed. When
sent to the sub-committee the pro-
posed bill was changed to read:
Drivers’ permits will be available to
16-year-olds and senior drivers’
licenses should be obtainable by
youth of 17 years.
Now in its revised form, the bill
was submitted once more for the
assembly's vote. Because of in-
sufficient time, it was defeated by
one vote, but it caused such con-
troversy that it was unanimously
decided to send it to the Hi-Y com-
mittee which meets December 8, 9,
and 10 in Albany.
Pupils Use Microscope
Dr. Carleton A. Moose, Head of the
Science Department, announced that
a new binocular ‘microscope has
been purchased by the science de-
partment this year. The microscope,
which cost 220 dollars, will be used
by biology students in their experi-
ments.
GROUP MEETS
Page Hall auditorium was the
scene of a meeting of the Foreign
Policy Association for Secondary
Schools on November 15 at 1:00 p.m.
Chester S. Williams, Deputy Chief
of Public Information, United States
Mission to the United Nations, was
the principal speaker. The topic of
his address was “This Crucial United
Nations Year.”
Ask Questions
After Mr. Williams’ speech, the
audience was invited to participate
in a 45-minute discussion period.
Many questions were raised.
Suzanne Flinton, Bethlehem Cen- |
school pupil, was studen |
tral hig’
chairman for the event . Greetings
were given by Dr. Evan R. Collins.
Presiden: of State College for
eachers, Albany; Doris Metzner,
President of the Milne Student
Council and Dr. Albert B. Corey,
Chairman of the Hudson-Mohawk
Branch of the Foreign Policy Asso-
ciation.
Send Students
Representatives from schools
the Hudson-Mohawk area attended
the meeting. Each school sent 25
students, juniors and seniors. Milne
social studies sses selected 12
seniors and 13 juniors to represent
Milne at the assembly.
Council Slates
Winter Social
The next dance on the schedule
of events for the junior high stu-
dents is a dance to be given Decem-
ber 9.
Plans show that the affair will
take place in the State college
lounge that night from 7:30 to 10:30.
Records will serve as music for the
dancing.
The junior student council an-
nounced that a new idea has been
innovated for this event and other
junior high dances to follow. The
students will supply the entertain-
ment. They will alternate by
grades for this. For the December
dance, the freshman class will pro-
vide the amusement.
An elimination and other types of
dances will be staged. Soda will
be sold to refresh those attending
the occasion. The dance is spon-
sored by the junior student council.

Students Prepare
Gifts for France
Again this year students of the
French I, I and Ill classes are
sending Christmas gifts to French
children still suffering from the ef-
fects of the war.
The packages contain mostly
candy and school supplies, items
which are still very scarce in
France. The contributing and pack-
ing of these gifts is not compulsory,
but almost every student brought
in a small gift. These presents are
expected to give a lot of joy to some
little French children.
The French students with the
help of Miss Cammarota, French
supervisor, and French student
teachers have organized a French
club.
At the first meeting of the club,
officers were elected. Herbert
Gramm and Connie Ellsworth are
president and vice-president re-
spectively. Susan North keeps the
notes and James Whitney will take
care of the money.
| precautionary
School to Stage
Practice Drills
During a special program on
November 7, Dr. Carleton A. sfoose,
Head of the Science Department,
spoke to the gathered assembly of
jstudents about the dangers of a
possible atomic bomb attack and the
measures which
should be taken.
Explains Probable Results
Dr. Moose stated that if the bomb
were dropped in an area less than
a mile away, there would be little
hope for survival in any instance.
This, he explained, would be due
to the tremendous heat and sho
that would be the result of the ex-
plosion.
On the other hand, should the
bomb be. exploded further away,
steps can be taken to insure against
unnecessary injuries that may be
caused by panic.
Take Precautions
If in a classroom during a drill
or an actual attack, persons silting
nearest the window should immedi-
ately drop to the floor under the
window. These people should then
pull down the shades to prevent
flying glass from blowing into the
room. Students seated in other
positions in the room should fall
down on the window-side of their
desks, covering all exposed surfaces
on their faces, hands and legs. This
precaution will protect them from
radiation burns and the like.
The warning for an atomic bomb
attack will be the ringing of an
old-fashioned bell by hand. At this
signal, the above steps should be
taken. Then the students will be
directed by their teachers to crawl
out of the classroom and take speci-
fied positions in the halJs until
further directions are announced.
Library Has Material
The Milne library contains sev-
eral pamphlets explaining, in lay-
man’s terms, the theories behind
atomic energy and the challenge
which it presents to us.
There are also books, both fiction
and non-fiction, dealing with the
effects of atomic bombs. Among
these are John Hersey’s book.
“Hiroshima” and “No Place to Hide”
by David Bradley. The latter is the
log of a doctor who was assigned
to “Operations Crossroads” at Bikini.
Dexter Masters’ work, “One World
or None” may also be included in
this category.
Report Cards Show
New. report card systems are in
effect in Milne. Their purpose does
not differ.
In the senior high, the marks are
based on achievement and adiust-
ment instead of living and working |
in a social group and achievement
Nathan formed the ring committee.|in subject matter as they were
Changes in Marking
formerly. The letter grades are
arranged so as to make the reading
and averaging of marks easier. AS
far as the grades are concerned, the
“F” which represented failure in a
course has been changed to “U”
symbolizing unsatisfactory work.

Ue Striking Home!
We've all been exposed to the atom bomb
alarm drills. To some, the whole affair seems
a bit ridiculous. An atom bomb dropped near
Albany? Preposterous! Let's not be alarm-
ists!
It’s not up to us to judge whether the Rus-
sians or some other group of people will see
fit to bomb America. Probably no one in
the whole world knows for certain, Never-
theless these precautions have to be taken.
The fact remains that we can no longer walk
around oblivious to the fact that men are kill-
ing and being killed. It’s striking home. Will
it be ridiculous if you or the boy who is sitting
next to you right now is called for Universal
Military Training? Will it be ridiculous if he
is forced to fight and die in some wet, muddy,
frigid place on the other side of the world?
Or perhaps in his own back yard?
Already your parents are feeling the pinch
of greater taxes and soon there will be another
increase. Shortly you will be paying more
for food, candy, gum, movies!
The present world situation is affecting us
whether we realize it or not; whether we want
it to or not! It's a grave situation and it does
concern you.

Averill Park Beats Milne
In Gridiron Final, 33-6
The Milne football team closed
out its winless season with a 33-6
loss to Averill Park in the home
field.
Both teams see-sawed up and
down the field during the first
quarter, but neither team scored.
Paul Werger spun around end for
an Averill Park touchdown as the
second quarter began. The try for
the extra point failed, giving the
winners a 6-0 lead.
Milne Threatens
Art Cardell returned the Averill
Park kick-off to the Milne 32. Bill
Hayes dashed to the Averill Park
39 yard line. In an end around play,
Cardell carried to the 16 yard stripe
for a first down, At this point,
Milne fumbled and Averill Park
recovered on the Milne 21. The
visitors scored on three plays with
paca Davis going 38 yards for the
tally.
After John Lucas brought the
kick-off back to the Milne 26 yard
line, the Grogan-men marched to a
touchdown in a half dozen plays.
Dee Parker streaked downfield for
runs of 16 and 18 yards. Bill Hayes
drove to the 17 yard line for a first
down, A play later, Hayes skirted
end for 17 yards and Milne’s only
touchdown. The point after touch-
down failed, leaving Milne on the
short end of a 12-6 score.
Fake Kick Sets Up TD
Bob Callender kicked off for
Milne and the winners brought the
kick back to the Milne 30 yard
stripe. A pushing penalty put the
visitors back to the 15 yard line.
Averill Park faked a kick and ran
the ball to the Milne 27 yard line.
Milne’s fast charging line threw the
winners for an 11-yard loss on the
next play, but Paul Werger dashed
38 yards for Averill Park's third
touchdown, ‘The extra point was
good, giving Averill Park a 19-6
lead.
Bunny Walker ran the kickoff
back to the Milne 28 yard line on
the opening play of the second half.
After Milne was held on the first
two downs, Walker tossed a pass to
Dee Parker, who was brought down
on the Averill Park 32 for a first
down. Paul Eckert took the ball
on an end around to the 27. Parker
tallied on a pass play, but a penalty
on Milne nullified the touchdown.
The home team lost the ball on
downs, and Averill Park promptly
scored on three plays, Paul Werger
running 30 yards for the touchdown,
The extra point was good, making
the score 26-6
Averill Park Fu
Bob Callender
kick-off back 19 yards to the Averill
Park 26-yard line. Milne lost the
ball on downs after advancing to
the 13-yard marker. Two downs
and a pass put Averill Park on
the Milne 12-yard line, where the
visitors fumbled and Callender re-
covered for Milne as the quarter
ended.
Milne took to the air as Bill Hayes
heaved to Paul Eckert for 36 yards.
Averill Park’s defense tightened and
the Red Raiders lost the ball on
downs at midfield. A penalty set
the visitors back into their own
territory, but Averill Park tallied
their final touchdown as Werger
raced 45 yards to score his fourth
the ensuing
to
point was good, bringing the final
score to 33-6,
_With the time running out Hayes
zipped from the Averill Park 30 to
the 13 for a first down, Hayes
dashed to the nine, and then to the
five as the gun sounded ending the
game.

By ROSEMARIE CROSS
In the life of every teenager, there
are certain problems that they must

others find it hard to show their
report cards to honor roll-loving
parents, but I think the main pro-
blem of the majority of us is trouble

that was fine for Liz’s siste
Liz, the fatter of the two, jus!

The’ main problem for older bro-

why she didn’t wear an old one,
replies, “How am I to know
which are your best shirts?”
When a Date A.
Of course, these little problems
seem minor when your date comes
to call for you and you aren't ready
When I’m not ready, my little sister
starts to flirt with my date. As if
the flirting isn’t bad enough, she
can come out with some brilliant
remarks. The other night she said,
“When are you going to marry my
sister?”
After the boy gets over his em-
barassment, she came out with, “I
like you much better than the boy
that was here last week.” Thank
heavens I was ready by that time,
or she probably would have had
my baby pictures out,

Also if they’re older, they can help
you with your homework. They
generally can do it better than you,
but not so much better that it
doesn't look like your work.
Your parent's other children
serve another good function, The
function is that they can straighten
you out when you have a problem.

Eighth Grade
Hears Leaders
A new program has been worked
out for the eighth grade studen:
to inform them of the extra-cu
cular activities available at Miln
To give the students a clearer
picture of these various activities
representatives of the organiations
are speaking to the eighth grader
Starting the program off Dor
Mehan of Crimson and White, Dor:
Metzner of the senior high student
council, Harry Stevens of Bricks
and Ivy, and Richard Flint of the
music council spoke at a class meet-
ing. More organization’s represent-
atives are slated to speak in more
detail in the individual homerooms.
The idea behind this plan is to
get the lower grades interested in
school activities for two major rea~
sons. First, in future years these
pupils will be the backbone of Milne,
heading all school organizations.
And secondly, extra-curricular act-
ivities are of great value in them-
selves.

last name of the younger child and
remember that they have heard that

your older sister was good they

LOIS TEWELL
What's that bright refi
tion com-
ing from the “Spotlight”? Why, it
must be coming from the blond
tre s of Lois Tewell who now
draws our attention.
Born on January 5, Lois, like so
many of our other seniors, attended
P, S. 16, Since entertaining Milne
in the seventh grade, Lois has been
continually busy. She has Been a
member of the cheerleading squad
since the ninth grade, and this year
she serves in the capacity of captain.
Taking an active interest in sports,
Lois served as the vice-president of
MGAA in her junior year and this
year holds the responsible position
of business manager. Lois has been
a member of the girls’ varsity hoc-
key team for the past three years,
and a good one too, She will also
be long remembered for her part
in the senior play.
plans to attend Endicott
College, where she will
major in merchandising.
Strangely enough this popu
is knitting
girl’s favorite pastime
“Union” suits.
ROBERT TEWELL
And now, we'd like you to meet
the. male half of the Tewell team. .
Robert. A most likeable lad, pos-
sessing a bit of brain power and
knowing a witty remark for every
zany occasion; his favorite office is
that of vice-president. This is well-
proven by past and present posi-
tions: “Veep” of the class in the
eleventh grade, vp. of his home-
room in the tenth grade, vp. of
Senior Student Council and Theta
Nu Literary society in his senior
year, He also keeps the finances
straight for Hi-Y.
Bob was an agile J. V. basketball
player in his junior year and man-
aged the football team. This year
he is giving the advertising staff of
the Bricks and Ivy a helping hand.
Robert wants to be an engineer
and has given some thought to
nearby R.P.I. That's jus’ ’cause he
wants to come back to Milne-e
often. When he’s out enjoying his
favorites: pizza and the finest of
steaks. he keeps a sharp lookout
for a little gal with brown hair and
brown eyes. Who knows...maybe
her name will be Jeannie!
