STUDENT ELECTIONS TODAY
Dave Blabey
In general there are two major
qualifications needed in a candidate
for the job of Student council presi-
dent: experience and an active in-
terest in Milne.
Experience is the best teacher by
far. In the running of our council
experience is a must. The president
must know how the council is run
and what it is doing. Dave Blabey
has been a member of the Junior
and Senior Student council for five
years, during which time he was
president of the Junior Student
council. Dave has probably had
more experience with our student
government than any’ other person
in his class. He served as president
of his class in both seventh and
eighth grades.
The second important qualification
for the person running for the presi-
dency is an active interest in Milne
and its activities. By being a mem-
ber of Adelphoi, Hi-Y, and vice-
president of the junior class, Dave
knows how the Milne students think
and what they want.
In addition Dave has a wide range
of interests which broaden his point
of view. He was a delegate to the
Mock United Nations Security coun-
cil and is treasurer of his youth
fellows! He is Milne contributor
to the Times-Union Youth page as
well as an honor roll student. In
the extra-curricular activities Dave
has efficiently performed as manager
of the Junior sity basketball team
and as co-president of the Outdoor
Lunch club.
“Let each become all his is capabl
of being.” Please remember. thi:
quotation when you go to pull the
voting lever. Dave is qualified and
capable.
President
Sandy Berman
1960, has been and will continue
to be a year in which many impor-
tant decisions must be faced in
Milne. If the student body is to be
adequately represented, they must
choose the person who is best quali-
fied, and who will do his utmost to
serve them when elected to the office
of Senior Student council president.
In my opinion, the person who is
best suited for the job is Sandy
Berman.
Al Smith once said, “Let's look at
the record,” and Sandy has quite a
record. Sandy has a deep rooted
concern for the welfare of the indi-
vidual Milne student; throughout his
years in Milne he has worked for
the actual realization of this goal.
Sandy, one of Milne’s fast develop-
ing sports stars, has helped bring
our Junior varsity basketball and
baseball teams to many a victory.
He is the cartoonist for our school
newspaper the “Crimson and White”
and has been an active Adelphoi
member for two years. He has
served as a representative on the
Milne Boys Athletic association since
seventh grade.
These outstanding qualifications
alone should prove that Sandy is the
best man for the presidency of the
Senior Student council. But when
you consider that along with these
he has been president of his home-
room for three years and president
of the freshman’ and junior classes,
I know you will agree with me when
I say that any intelligent student
ould vote for none other than
SANDY BERMAN FOR PRESI-
DENT OF THE SENIOR STUDENT
COUNCIL.
lficial to Milne.
Vice President
Tim Hamilton
Along with the 18th century, our
country was blessed with a fine
statesman, Alexander Hamilton.
When he died, America had to wait
a whole century until a Hamilton
of equal vision and leadership came
into being. This latter gentleman,
Tim Hamilton, is anxiously waiting
to show his ability as the vice-presi-
dent of the Milne Senior Student
council.
Along with his saddle shoes, (he
complains his feet are saddle sore)
‘Tim has brought with him from East
Lansing, Michigan, a genuine en-
thusiasm for student government.
His extensive experience on student
council, coupled with many new
ideas and plans should prove bene-
Specifically Tim
worked with the East Lansing stu-
dent organization for four years. He
was also co-editor of the school
newspaper. Tim planned an organ-
ized program to put the student in
the student council, and hopes to do
the same for Milne.
The office of vice-president is no
longer a place for inactivity and
therefore, an active person like Tim
fills the bill.
Tim has shown his versatility as
a student by achieving marks befit-
ting a council vice-president, as an
athlete by winning the title of mid-
western ice skating champion, and
as a real friend by gaining the
respect of those who know him.
The students of Milne should real-
ize the fine potential in Tim Hamil-
ton as an active leader in student
government affairs. This is an op-
portunity for you, the students, to
benefitfi Milne by electing ‘Tim
Hamilton vice - president of the
Senior Student council.
Stu Horn
Many people are of the opinion
that the sole duty of the Senior
Student council vice - president is
that of assuming the leadership of
the council while the president is
absent or unable to participate. This
is far from the truth. Milne’s Senior
Student council vice-president has
the all-important task of arranging
the unique Career Series program
and is in charge of the Assembly
committee, the body that plans
auditorium programs.
Your candidate and mine, Stuart
Richard Horn, is well qualified to
take over these important tasks. His
engaging personality is such that he
will have little trouble in obtaining
the best speakers and community
leaders to participate in the Career
series. Stu will be of immeasurable
aid to the Assembly committee in
that he will bring fresh ideas and
new pep to this important group. To
back up this previous statement a
very good illustration is Stu’s par-
ticipation in the HI-Y Youth and
Government program. In coopera-
tion with another Milne student, Stu
won a cash prize from the New York
State Car Dealers association for
the best suggested Motor Vehicle
legislation to promote safe driving.
Other qualififications Stu has are:
He has served as vice-president and
treasurer of the class of 61 and he
was a representative on the Student
council. He has been treasurer of
Milne’s Hi-Y club for two years, is
treasurer of the Albany Rensselaer
Hi-Y council, and he is a member
of the New York State Hi-Y Council
Legislative committee.

STUDENT ELECTIONS TODAY

ean Kallenbach
Joan Kallenbach, as you know, is
one of the most able and likable
girls in the entire junior class. Con~
sequently, she has been nominated
for the office of secretary of the]
Senior Student council.
Joanie has served two years on
the council, is treasurer of the
M.G.A.A. council, is vice-president |
of Tri-Hi-Y, is’ former president
and secretary of her Girl Scout
troop, and is ex-secretary of her
homeroom. She is an active member
of Quin and G.A.A., was on the re-
freshments committee of the Alumni
ball, and was a regional representa-
tive’ to the statewide Hi-Y Bills
assembly.
This is an impressive record, in-
deed, but Joan has an equally im-
pressive academic record. She can
also. type well and has excellent |
handwriting, two qualifications abso-
lutely essential to the office of sec-
retary.
Just as important as Joan's ex-
cellent background forthe job are
her characteristics which have made
her numerous accomplishments pos~
sible. Joanie is one of those rare
energetic people who is constantly |
on the go, running from one activity
to the next, but always remember-
ing that her first responsibility is to
her studies. In the course of con-
tributing to these activities, Joan
has gained the admiration and re-
spect of many for her reliability,
deep sense of responsibility and
perseverance. Just as important,
Joan has drawn people to her by
her outstanding quality of kindliness
which proves her earnestness and
sincerity in everything she under-
takes.

ecretary
Wace Childers
The duties of the secretary are
vital for the proper functioning of
the Student council. It is the secre-
tary who writes the minutes and
handles the correspondence of the
council. Without someone to manage
these duties, the council would be
ineffective and removed from those
it represents.
This responsible office requires
someone who can express herself
concisely and correctly and who can
judge between what is essential and
what is unnecessary to put in the
minutes. As the secretary is a vot-
ing member of the council, she also
needs the spirit and clear thinking
required of all council members.
Margie Childers fulfills these
exacting requirements. Her enthusi-
asm and interest in Milne are active-
ly expressed through the many
offices she holds. Margie was co-
chairman of the “Out-Reach” pro-
gram of her church, she on the
student-faculty committee, she is a
council member of the Milne Girls’
Athletic association, and she is
president of her homeroom. Margie
ha straight “A” average.
a
These facts are convincing proof
that Margie should be secretary of
the Senior Student council. In addi-
tion to all this, Margie’s strongest
asset has yet to be mentioned. This
asset is Margie’s actual secretarial
experience. In this year alone,
Margie holds’ three secretarial posi-
tions. She is secretary of the junior
class, secretary of her church Youth
group, and secretary of Sigma. With
all this experience, Margie not only
meets the requirements for secretary
a|—she exceeds them.
s has been said, Margie main-
a straight “A” average in her
work. So let’s all “VOTE FOR
STRAIGHT “A” ALL THE WAY.”
Al Markowitz
In September of 1955, Milne
opened its doors to a_ frightened,
little seventh grader. By the time
he entered his freshman year he was
successfully handling the funds for
the Junior Student council as treas-
urer. Advancing from grade to grade
and picking up his letters in baseball
and golf, he became head of the
financial matters of the Junior class,
vice-president of the Hams dramatic
organization, president of the Bowl-
ing league ‘and a member of the
C&W staff.
The office of treasurer of the
Senior Student council requires a
weighty responsibility, as the finan-
cial affairs of the senior high are
placed in his hands. Besides this
he is in charge of the student-
faculty committee, an organization
consisting of the faculty and repre-
sentatives of the student body, plan-
ning activities and solving problems
concerning the two. Al has an ex-
cellent scholastic record and has
been very active in Milne’s activities,
as mentioned previously. His all-
around ability makes him more than
adequate for this important position.
What is the most element in the
work of a treasurer? Why, it is
MATH, of course. The treasurer’s
task is actually a practical applica-
tion of mathematics. Allen Marko-
witz is outstanding in this field. He
is now taking a senior year math
course in his junior year. Even so,
he maintains fine marks in this diffi-
eult subject. One can see that Al
is extremely qualified for the posi-
tion of treasurer.
Who is most qualified for the
position of a treasurer? A person
who is a treasurer! How obvious
can something be? And just who
has been acting as treasurer for the
class of ’61 for too many years to
remember? Allen, that’s who. It has
become a regular habit with him.
Now, you wouldn’t want to deprive
him of all the fun of being treasurer
again, would you!
Let Allen handle your money.
You will not only do yourself a
favor, but him too.

Treasurer
Joe Allison
Joe Allison is a most qualified
candidate for the office of treasurer.
Joe took office when the Hi-Y was
a weak club of six members, as all
the other members had graduated
the year before. Through hard work
and’ good programs, Joe built the
membership up to 22 members. His
reputation in Milne Hi-Y spread to
the Albany-Rensselaer Hi-Y coun-
cil, the local council of area Hi-Y
clubs, and Joe was elected vice-
president, a post which he presently
holds.
Joe Allison also achieved success
in other Milne activities. He is a
writer for the C&W and is vice-
president - treasurer of Homeroom
129. Joe also represents this home-
room on the Student council. These
past two experiences have given Joe
the necessary “know-how” for
handling the treasurer's job.
With his demonstrated ability and
executive leadership, there is no
question that Joe can help Milne’s
Student council greatly.
Joe has several goals which he
hopes to attain as treasurer. These
are:
1 A fairer and more equitable
budget, that will take into consider-
ation the activities of all extra-
curricular organizations.
2) More democratic representation
of all groups in the preparation of
the budget.
3) A better understanding by the
student body of the student-faculty
committee, Joe has found that very
few students know the committee's
functions and_ therefore, it isn’t as
successful as it should be.
4) More student representation on
the student-faculty committee. At
present, one delegate from each grade
is selected. This year several other
students showed an interest in the
committee but weren’t allowed to
serve on it. Joe feels that anyone
who shows an interest in this and
ail the council’s committees should
be allowed to serve on them,
