NOVEMBER 17, 1944
In every presidential election,
Milne has accurately predicted the
results—only in reverse. Picking
Dewey as the favorite by a total of
two hundred and sixty-six to one
hundred and five they upheld their
reputation, (With an incidental 9
“for Norman Thomas.) Milne also
picked Wendel Wilkie in the last
election. And has consistently
picked the losing man in all other |
mock elections. So far as the na-
tional election is concerned, Mr.
Dewey was overwhelmed by the
President to the tune of 3,090,000
votes, The electoral majority was
even more astounding, as he took
437 out of a possible 528 electoral
votes. The whole election showed
a distinct Democratic trend, as the
Democrats gained 18 new seats in
the House, and lost only one, They |
alzo gained three new senate seats
and eight new gubernotorial places.
National Results Not In
All national results are not yet in
because of the soldier ballot. In
some states these are not coun’
until November 26, and of course
they play a major part. However,
most of the majorities are large
enough so that the absentee ballots
will not alter the results drastically.
Milne also imitated their elders in
the field of debate. In an assembly
held on election day, two speakers
attempted to convince the members
of the student body to choose their
candidate in the straw vote. Lois
Friedman spoke first for Mr.
Dewey, after an introduction by
Ted Carlson, president of the
Senior High Student Council. She
used almost all of the campaign
propaganda used by Dewey's com-
mittee. Her speech was obviously
sincere and her manner of delivery |
excellent.

seemed a bit overawed by his au-
He}
dience, but his speech lost nothing |
of its quality by this obvious shy-
ness. He managed to inject humor,
wit and cleverness in his speech,
The opening words “My friends”
set the key of the whole speech.
In reply to Miss Friedman's re
mark that the President had said it
was just plain dumb to have a two
ccean navy, he pointed out that the

But the logic of Bob's arguments
did not, apparently, convince the
student body, as they geve Mr.

The senior class has begun work
on their essays. It has taken quite
some time for them to decide on
topics for these essays, but now all
of them are definite. Some of the
topics follow:

tory of West Point, Lee Aronowit
History of the U.S. Coast Guar

Negro to American M Audrey

The Flying Tigers, Jim Magilton.
This list is far from complete,
but it is a’ good representation of
what the seniors are doing this year.
Council Plan Activities
For Remaining Year
The Senior Student Council held
its weekly meeting Thursday, No-
vember 2, at 12:27 in Dr. Fredrick’s
office.
Two main things which were de-
bated and finally passed by the
council were: sending a girl repre-
sentative to the Inter-Society Coun-
cil, previously attended by boys
only, and electing Scott Hamilton,
‘46, chairman of the Alumni Ball.

Dramatic Clubs
To Give 2 Plays
The Senior High Dramatics Club
is planning to present two one-act.
plays at some future time during
the month of December. The plays
have been selected by the group
and copies to be used in the pro-
duction have been sent for.
‘The plays chosen for presentation
are: a farce entitled, “She Was Only
a Farmer's Daughter,” and a com-
edy entitled “Of All Things.”
The Junior High has chosen one
short play to add to the planned
program. Their decision is “Six
Who Pass While the Lentils Boil.”
Later on in the year the club
plans to present a jong three-act
play on which the club will work
most of the second semester,
They have asked for time for one
or two assembly programs on the
theory that the school enjoys
dramatized programs.
Frankie Kirk, president of the
club, says “All club members will
have a chance to participate in at
least one of these plans if not more.
Those who don't take part in one,
will surely take part in another.”
Theta Nu Sponsors
“Bringing Up Baby’
This year, Theta - ‘Nu, one of the
Milne boys” societies, sponsored a
movie to raise funds. This program
took place last Friday evening in the
Page Hall auditorium and was very
successful as to attendance; the
program itself proved very enjoy-
able.

Although the supply of war sav-

stamps will be available every

So far, the sale of war bonds has
amounted to only $125.00 and the
sale of stamps to $50.00.

Six Years at Milne
The following. are “The Plans of

son and White staff for publication

Dick Bates, and is considered the
most wonderful idea that has been
heard yet.
Sixteen Months Past
“Nearly sixteen months have
passed since that memorable even-
ing in June of 1943. Memorable
indeed! Instead of the normal
peace-time graduation,’ and the
casual ‘good-byes,’ and ‘See you
at Christmas vacation,’ etc, ‘the
boys of this class found themselves,
and for the first time, by the way,
a solemn and unhappy group. Sup-
posedly, it could all be brushed
aside as a part of the ‘war-time re-
strictions, BUT NO, we wouldn't
(couldn't) have it that way. We
had been far too happy during those
six years at Milne. More than just
a high school, Milne takes on the
added significance of being botn
‘college and high school’ combined.
Only a few of the fellows were for-
tunate (young) enough to actually
experience a few months at college.
As a result, ‘the little school on
Western Avenue’ stands alone, in
representing to us, those things
which we can hardly wait to get
back and see once again,
Gang Still Intact
“As I sit in this USO, watching
countless soldiers, sailors, and ma-
rines file past, I wonder how many
of them are as fortunate as I? You
see, it’s ‘something’ to have 25, or
so, ‘brothers.’ Yes, the Gang is still
very much intact, by way of con-
tact, via the mail sack. It’s the
same 25 who used to file into Miss
Martin's Art Room’ during the
lunch hour. It’s a fact, we were
compact, and she knows best, how
we used to act. Getting back to the
mail, however, we do manage, as
time permits, to keep the letters
flowing back and forth to all four
corners of the earth. By the way,
they sure did a ‘zoot’ job of separat-
ing us. WAR IS HECK!
“For the past six months, we've
been contemplating by letter which
December 7th we would once again
make our presence known back at

Give and Give Now!
This year the Junior Red Cross is asking for
a donation of 15 cents and up from all students.
This is different from other years, because before
they have asked for only 10 cents and whatever
else each wanted to give. There are a number
of people that will feel that this amount is
entirely uncalled for. We feel that this is not
the case, in fact it is entirely the opposite. It
is extremely necessary to give as much as you
> able, in order to speed up the return of our
boys and possibly have helped to save a life.
When you look at it this way, yeu cannet truth-
fully say that you could not possibly give a
measley fifteen cents. Before you say no, think
about it carefully and make yourself realize what
your fifteen cents may do; then give what you
can. ‘That's all we ask of you, and it is your
patriotic duty to do this litle Ba if nothing else.
Why Not Better Societies?
The

requirements to get a bid to a boys’
are tough enough, why aren't they worth
the work and money?
In the invitation it says that there will be
outings, basketball games, and bowling matches,
ete, and that you will profit from your mem-
bership. But do you actually? No!
There are some who are working to make
their society good, but there are some who
“just don't care.”
They can’t seem to
either. Why not have
get time for meetings
each society have a set
meeting after school, or some time each week?
When they do have a meeting there is little
or no order and not much is accomplished.
I want my society to be a good society! So
that when it comes time to send out bids we
will really have something to make the fellows |
want to join. Maybe we need a little faculty
supervision!

ELAINE CLAIRE SEXTON
Center of attraction this week is
a little girl that is 5’ 4”, has brown
wavy hair, green eyes, and goes by
the name of Elaine Claire Sexton.
Born in Albany, Elaine has lived
here all her life, but has traveled
quite a bit. She took a trip to
Washington, all alone, but of course
she had company upon her arrival.
New York is her weakness, taking
many trips there when she was
small. This fall she had her best
trip yet. To quote Elaine: “I had
a positively heavenly time.”
Music Fills Time
Music fills quite a bit of Elaine’s
extra school time, being a member
of both the band, the choir and the
music council. Just being a mem-
ber is not the extent of Elaine’s
interest. She is president of both
band and the music council, She
also serves as a member of the
Student Council as its vice-presi-
dent, A member of Sigma, and the
newly formed “usherettes,” are on
Elaine’s activity list.
Music Council President
Last year Elaine was president of
the Music Council, treasurer of the
Choir, and secretar yof the band.
She was treasurer of the cl in
her Junior year as well as president
of the Spanish club.
Her well-rounded program in-
cludes activity in Milne sports, She
has been captain of basketball,
baseball, and hockey. She has
played as varsity pitcher,

‘Basketball Tryouts Begin; Coach Pleased With Turnout
‘Muehliee and: and Prono
‘First String Hold-Overs
Finally basketball season has
started. Milne certainly waits very |
restlessly for November 1 to come.
Coach Hathaway was very much
pleased by the way the fellows from
the ninth grade and up piled into
. the Page Hall gym for the first try-
outs. Sixty boys were down there
* to greet him at the opening day
of practice. All the boys trying out
are very keen on making the squad,
and Mr. Hathaway expects some
stiff competition to make the teams.
Lettermen Return
Back from last year’s Varsi
eam ars Edi ruchlicks Captain, endl
Lee Aronowitz, who played first
string. Jim Detwiler, Don Christie
Al Mendel, and Bob De Mass al-o
saw a little action with the Varsity
last year. With these players plus
some very capable Jay Vee’s of last
year, Hathaway has hopes cf whip-
ping together a “number one” ball
club.
Boys from last year’s Jay Vee
who looked gcod in the early season
are Bill Kelly, Dick Grace, Pete
Hunting, Bob French, Larry Clark,
John Knox, and Scott Hamilton.
Mr, Hathaway stated that last year’s
appearances will bear no standing
on this year’s ball club. He goes
on to say if a freshman is good
enough to play Varsity, he will.
Boys Get in Condition
Our new coach is stressing con-
ditioning for the first couple of
weeks. He says you can’t play ball
when you aren’t in condition. So,
if you see the fellows doing laps
in front of school, even if there is
more snow, don't laugh at them;
they are doing it for our basketball
team.
This year there will be no league,
but the MBAA plans on playing the
same teams that we did last year.
Jim Magilton, '45, manager of bas-
ketball, says that he expects the
competition just as exciling as last
year and that he hopes to have the
schedule made up by next week.
er
Morale Boosts Team
In order to have a good team,
with a lot of spirit, the fellows must
have good backing. One sure way
of having that good backing, accord”
ing to Magilton, is to bring your
friends and parents to the games.
“Try to sell as many season tickets
as possible,” he adds. “These boys
playing basketball are representing
Miine and anyone connected with
Milne, so don’t let them down, and
I am sure you will see them in
there fighting until the last whistle
blows.”
The first cut was made Wednes-
day, November 8. There are now
35 industrious fellows down in the
gym every night. Coach Hathaway
plans on making one more cut.
Magilton and Hathaway are work-
ing on the schedule in every spare
moment. They both say it is shap-
ing up fairly well.
Coach’s orders are not to eat
much turkey over Thanksgiving,
the team won't have to be recondi- | against the tough
tioned when vacation is over.

On Modern Dancing
In the Little Gym after school
on Tuesdays to the music of a
piano played by Barbara Smith, °45,
can be heard a shuffling to the beat
of “step, together, slide, leap, hop,
jump, lunge.” This is the Milne
girls learning modern dancing from
Ruth Welsh, ’45.
Ruth Welsh’s dancing ability has
been proved by a scholarship to
Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival at
Lee, Massachusetts for the last
three summers.
The class is including music
visualization, their own choreo-
graphy, and at the present they
are learning the alphabet of dance,
The alphabet is the twenty-five
fundamental dance steps on which
all dances are based. They have
already completed sixteen.
The girls that have attended this
class are:
Ann Graham, Janet Wiley, Lois

Senior Class
Given Adult
Responsibilites _
The CRIMSON AND WHITE of
November 6, 1942, carried a small
item telling about the Class of '43
planning the Senior Room. The
committee in charge of arrange-
ments was composed of Chi
Cross, Ted DeMoss, Melba Levine,
and Shirley Atkin.
The room was originally located
in room 135, but has since been
moved to 124,
‘The establishment of the room,
which of course required faculty
approval, was for a very definite
* purpose. In addition to providing
the seniors with a place for rela
a=
tion and study, the basic idea was
to help prepare them for future re-
sponsibilitie:
On this subject Dr. Frederick re-
cently said, “Our seniors have many
activities—Class Night, Commence.
ment, the senior play, etc—and
they need a headquarters for plan-
ning these functions. These stu-
dents have come through five y
of Milne successfully, and_ their
room is in part a recognition of
their accomplishments. Next year
these students will have to adjust
themselves to the changed condi-
tions of freedom, self direction, and
self reliance. They will, for the
most part, be on their own, away
from home. Management of the
reom gives our seniors valuable
practice in the management of their
own affairs.”
The seni often have difficulty
keeping their rcom in proper order,
but they make every effort to keep
the place neat and clean as a good
example to other Milnites to assist
the custodial staff, and to present a
good appearance to visitor
The present committee in charge
of the Senior Room is composed of
Bob Baldwin, Walt Wilkins, Bill
Kelly, Bob Hotaling, Ted Carlson,
Barbara MacMahon, and Helen
Huntington.
Soph Biology Classes
Moving On Schedule
The biology classes have been
going along right on schedule,
stated Miss Gladys Herrick, head
of the 9th grade general science and
10th grade biology departments.
They have been chiefly concerned
with laboratory 4 in which
they have been doing microscopic
work. In the near future, the
classes will do some dissecting of

Miss Herrick commented that she
was pleased with the students’ work
in general, and particularly pleased
