Nation's Eyes on Milne, Traditional Political Weathervane
By TIM HAMILTON
As the majority of the Milne
students have come to realize, 1960
an election year in the United
States. On November 8, 1960, we
shall choose our next president.
In view of this fact, it is befitting
that the students of Milne have the
opportunity to express their politi-
cal preferences in a manner similar
to that accorded those individuals
of our society who have lived
twenty-one years or longer. In
short, Milne too, will have an
election.
A mock election is being carried
on in almost every school in the|toral college. Eighteen __ states,

room. Whichever candidate wins
in a particular homeroom, even if
it be by only one vote, receives
that homeroom’s full electoral vote.
Some will reject this method of
choosing a President. To them the
student council and Assembly Com-
in only say: “Don’t blame
us, this is the way it is done in
America, land of opportunity.”

cided on a project for the year.
They plan to “adopt” and support
a needy child through the Foster

$180 for the year, In order to raise
this amount, Quin and Sigma will
sponsor several activities through-
out the year. A book and bake sale
|is being planned, with its theme
“food for the body and food for the
mind.” There will be a joint dance
jon December fifth. Other activities
in the planning ige include a

Editorial
“Aw, there’s nothing to do in Albany.” “I wish I
didn’t live in such a dead town!” These plaintive
expressions of discontent can be heard all around
us. It's much easier to sit around and moan than
it is to wake up and find out what our city really
does have to offer in the way of enjoyable, worth-
while things to do.
Those who bewail Albany’s dearth of legitimate
theater might look into the series of Broadway plays
on tour scheduled at the Strand Theater. Among the
hit shows coming to Albany this season are Fiorello!
and The Pleasure of His Company. In addition, the
Albany Civic theater, the Slingerlands Players, and
the State college theater regularly stage fine pro-
ductions.
‘The Institute of History and Art is one of Albany's
most fortunate cultural facilities. Perhaps you are
under the impression that once you've seen the
mummies, you've seen the Institute. Besides its art
courses and film series, the Institute program includes
art exhibits, both regional and national. Last year
Albanians had the opportunity of viewing a collection
from the New York Museum of Modern Art entitled
“The New American Painting,” as shown in eight
European countries, The Institute has also sponsored
lectures in past years, featuring such internationally
famous figures as Ogden Nash and Malcolm Mug-
geridge.
For students who are wondering whether Holly-
wood (or Albany) will ever grow up, the Delaware
theater offers an encouragingly high’ percentage of
good, adult movies. The Delaware is perhaps the
only’ theater in Albany which regularly features
foreign films; several movies of the widely acclaimed
Swedish director Ingmar Bergman have played there.
Among the theater's documentary films, one that
comes to mind is Masters of the Congo Jungle, an
artfully informative movie, demonstrating how primi-
tive man lives in harmony with nature. More re-
cently, the Delaware has shown on outstanding anti-
war film, Hiroshima, Mon Amour,
We could go on and on. This is just a glimpse
of the theatrical, artistic, musical, and cinematic
experiences in store for a person who really wishes
to cultivate his tastes and stimulate his mind. The
opportunities are here. It’s up to you to take advan-
tage of them. —B. R.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Not all yearbooks (or newspapers) are perfect.
However, I think good things can be said for the
hooks in recent years, We have an advantage in
Milne in that we students put out the books our-
selves. Therefore, they can express what we want
them to, Of course, the staff is usually comprised
of. senio underclassmen may not always agree
with what is done.
Maybe last year's book could have included the
seniors’ activities, but a lot of the other things you
mentioned are pretty corny, In fact, the personal
remarks, prophecy, ete, which may be funny to
some, can hurt other people.
We frequently say our parents and teachers are
old and stuffy, but it appears that the C&W editors
are horribly reactionary and conservative.
I think the staff of last year's book is to be con-
gratulated for their courage in breaking away from
stodgy traditionalism and for their creative approach
to theme and photography. Many of the photographs
are outstanding, They show the students and teachers
as they are, not as dummies lined, up in rows. Best
0 fall, they were taken by our own students, not by
some hired flunkey. This is supposed to be our book,
isn’t it?
We include underclassmen in our book while many
schools emphasize seniors only. In addition to this
we've avoided those horrible, phony padded .covers.
In the second paragraph of your editorial (C&W,
Oct. 5) you ask what is wrong with Milne. Your
narrow-minded attack on the yearbook is a good
answer to your own question. When somebody has
made a constructive advancement, you complain. It
is our willingness to experiment and progress that
makes Milne a better school than others.
Why not consider some of the positive aspects of
Milne that your own feature writers describe? Take
another look at the yearbook and Milne. You might
like them. J

ever since he made his first ap-

Born on May 27, 193, Stu at-
tended P. S. 18. From there he came
toour fair school, and became a hit
immediately. The activities that he
has been engaged in since have been
so numerous that you begin to
wonder whether he has any time for
schoolwork. Among these activi-
ties are his post as literary editor
of the yearbook, membership on the
student - faculty committee, and
active membership in Hams incor-

GLEN SIMMONS
Another of the masterminds be-
hind our yearbook is Glen Sim-
mons. As art editor, Glen has
given the Bricks and Ivy the bene-
fit of his artistic talents.
Glen’s abilities are hardly con-
fined to the yearbook, however. He
has been vice-president of his
homeroom for five years, and presi-
dent for one. He has served as a
student council representative, is
president of the Milne ski club, and
has been president of his youth
fellowship. This year, he is treas-
urer of the senior class.
This summer, Glen had an oppor-
tunity to enjoy. one of his, favorite
sports, swimming. In fact,
taught swimming at Coleus
country club.

JOAN KALLENBACH
Rush, rush, rush, That is the
only posible way to describe Joan
Kallenbach. This hard working
gal holds several limportant posi-
tions in Milne. She is the pre:
dent of GAA council, the treasurer
of Quin, the advertising editor of
the yearbook, and a songleader.
She has been a representative on
Senior student council and la
was vice president of
With all these responsibilities, one
can understand why Joan is con-
stantly rushing. Yet, she is always
willing to do a favor for someone.
This past summer Joan was a
counselor at a girls’ camp on Lake
george. She supervised land sports,
swimming, and the activities of a
group of ten and eleven year old
campers.
Upon graduating from Milne,
Joan hopes to attend Georgetown
university, Mount Holyoke college,
or the University of rochester. It
is easy to predict that she will be
as successful at college as she has
been at Milne.
SUE NEWMAN
You name it—she does it. Who?
Sue Newman! Even a quick glance
at her many activities shows what
a versatile gal she is, This year
Sue is an active member of GAA
and Sigma as well as the hard-
working editor of the Bricks and
Ivy. She has been a Girl scout for
almost a decade, and two years ago

ALAN MARKOWITZ
When Alan Markowitz entered
our fair school as a bewildered
seventh grader in 1955, few people
knew that in six short years he
would become such an illustrious
senior. His career at Milne has
certainly been exciting. Al was
treasurer of the Junior student
council in the ninth grade and has
the distinction of having made the
most errors on last year’s varsity
baseball team, During his junior
r|/ year, Al was also president of the
bowling league, vice-president of
Hams and jose of the Math
Club.
One of his most cherished hobbies
is having automobile accidents.
This summer, Al satisfied his in-
tellectual curiosity by attending a
seminar in American Civilization
given by Mr. Ganeles.
After leaving Milne’s hallowed
halls, Al plans to attend either the
University of Rochester or Am-
herst His major will be in the
field of science or medicine.
JON AXELROD
Although Jon Axelrod was born
in Brooklyn, he and his family
migrated to Albany just in time for
him to attend Miss Clum’s Nursery
School, P.S. 16 and P.S. 19 before
entering Milne.
The past few years have been busy
ones for Jon. He is a present treas-
urer and past vice-president of
Hi-Y and last year won $25 for the
best highway safety bill introduced
at the Hi-Y Youth and Government
Assembly.. He is presently serving
as photography editor for both the
yearbook and the C&W. If you
come to see the senior play. this
year, you will see Jon Axelrod, the
actor.
By his own admission, he is a
very inactive member of the NFTY
Youth Group but he spends many
snowy winter weekends skiing.
(Most people hate snow—he loves
it.)
If in about ten years you need a
good lawyer, just contact Jon
Axelrod, Esquire. He plans to
|attend either Colgate or Cornell.

Has enclosed in its tentacles
All that we stand for.
The drive-in movie has
Become our classroom, dining room,
And boudoir.
High on a once-scenic hill,
The antenna-spired glass enclosed

Preaches its electronic sermon.
I lie in the dusty roadbed
Obscured in a shadow
Cast by the gaudy dollar sign.
