Sahin High Aids
In Beet Harvest
The students of the Milne senior
high school lent a hand to the much
needed help shortage on the farms
by working on the farm of Harvy
Holmes’ father, picking beets.
At a senior high assembly last
Wednesday, it was decided that the
whole senior high, some 200 stu-
dents, would go to the farm off
Western Avenue on Friday and pull
beets. There was no school for the
senior high Friday. Dr. R.
Frederick, principal, presented two
plans to the students. The plan not
accepted was that forty boys should
do all the work on Thursday, Fri-
day, and Saturday, and even’ Sun-
day, if necessary.
Tom Dyer and Charles Hopkins,
’44, Bob Demoss and John Bulger,
"45, were selected as foremen be-
cause of their previous experience
at pulling beets.
This work was done gratis by the
entire senior high school. The stu-
dents were told by Dr. Frederick to
be at the farm between 8:30 and
9:30 A. M., Friday.
When questioned on the necessity
of taking attendance at the farm,
Dr, Frederick made a wry face and
said, “I’m sure there are very few
dead-beats at Milne.” He said that
he realized the joke was corny, but
no worse than Bob Hope on occa-
sions.
Tt was necessary to carry out the
work, rain or shine, becatise of the
very strict cannery schedule.
These beets will be dehydrated
and shipped to the armed forces.
Some will be canned for baby food.
This work is done at the Beechnut
plant,
To Resume Saletor
War Stamps and Bonds
Betty Baskin, chairman of the
War Bond and Stamp sales commit-
tee, will institute a new plan begin-
ning Monday, October 4,
Each day of the week from 8:30
to 9:05 volunteers will sell stamps
outside the Commercial office on
the second floor. One more recruit
is needed, Jean Figarsky, Kenny
Stephenson, Betty Baskin and Joyce
Knapp will alternate in conducting
the business each day.
Dr, Edward W. Cooper has or-
dered the minute-man flag, which
is awarded for purchase of bonds
and stamps by 90% of the students
and faculty each week.
Miss Baskin, urging all to par-
ticipate, stated:
“The Third War Loan Drive is on.
We are behind the other schools in
our purchases of Bonds and Stamps
because of our late starting date.
“It is up to us to make an extra
effort to attain our quota. The drive
will be completed on October 9,

The Senior Room
‘The senior room faces a crucial test as to
whether it can continue or not. This topic is
not just concerned with seniors as the name may
imply, but by all of the students for they too
will some day become seniors themselves.
‘The students certainly want the room and the
faculty seems opposed to it. They have showed
many cases of misconduct unbecoming seniors.
All these charges were against the class of “43
‘The class of ‘44 has not had even the chance to
prove that it can use the roon properly.
It offers a fine place for study to the seniors,
certainly better than the library. As for loafing,
it is just as easy to loaf in the library as any-
where else. It is a fine room in which to r
before and after school hours. Some fi y
members will say that students do not do home-
work because of the senior room. Homework is
generally done at home in the evening and the
student will do it in school if he wants to,
whether there is a senior room or not.
True, this room should not turn into a lounge
for the seniors; there should be no smoking or
dancing and there hasn’t been any this year
what little time the room has been open.

Senior Spotlight
— by Fran ‘n’ Jan———
LEN JONES
There are at present few people
in Milne School who do not know
Len Jones. Those few people are
the new seventh graders.
So I have decided to give them an
outline of this senior, who no doubt,
has been noticed by them by now,
but this short story is for the rest
of the school too. Len has been
Known for his leadership as well
as his broad smile and easy going
nature, and good looks,
Outstanding Event
I asked him what outstanding
event or what day in his life was
outstanding to him, He thought for
a moment and couldn't recall any-
thing (at least that he wanted to
tell me); then, he said that the
event of his life was June 13, 1926,
He also added that it was eventful
for his mother and father too.
He has been in some office or in
some organization ever since he
landed here. In the seventh grade
he was voted homeroom secretary.
The eight grade advanced him to
the trusted position of treasurer of
the homeroom,
Now, it has been well established
that a new noise has entered the
band in ’40 and has remained there
since. If you investigate thoroughly
you will find that it is Len behind
the horn.
The tenth year Len found him-
self very busy. He joined Adelphoi
and no doubt blessed the upper
classmen, along with the others, for
their initiation stunts. The J.V.
also had a new member to contend
with,
Heads Musie Council
I don’t have to tell you that in
his junior year he was on the Music
Council, presiding as president. He
was chairman of the committee of
the Alumni Dance. I doubt if any
of you have forgotten the election
for Student Council President and
that you know that Len was elected
to help to run the school affairs.
Len’s dislikes are few. He has a
system by which, if he doesn’t like
something, it makes no impression.
The one antipathy that he has is
that he does not like too many girls
in a group (must be closdiphobia).
Len’s favorites are: football games,
colorful socks and ties, slow dance
music, Donald Duck, mystery
movies, Humphry Bogart, steak,
French fries, blueberry pie, Harry
James; radio is his favorite subject.

education in the elementary school.

This year Coach Tanno expects to
have a well balanced gym program.
This will consist of exercises fol-
lowed by sports. These sports prob-
ably will be football until it gets
too cold; then basketball until it
gets warm enough to go cutside to
play softball. Other sports con-

Wilfred Allard |
Recently Wed
Wilfred P. Allard, language su- |
pervisor in Milne school, was mar-
ried to Miss Constance Tessier on
August 28.
Miss Tessier was born in Cohoes,
N. Y., as was Mr. Allard, though
they did not meet until two and a
half years ago in the Milne halls.
Miss ‘Tessier, who received her A.B.
degree at the College of St. Rose
and her Master's at State, is now
teaching at Ticonderoga and will
continue to do so, at least for the
remainder of this year.
|
|
‘The bride is twenty-six years old.
Her father is the Cohoes city li-
prarian and one of her brothers is
‘an ensign in the navy. Her second
brother is Father Tessier, who per-
formed their marriage ceremony at
St. Joseph’s Church in Cohoes.
A cruise aboard the RICHELIEU
had been planned for the first week
of the honeymoon, but it was can-
celled, the reason being the RICH-
ELIEU had crashed the preceding
week. They, therefore, spent the |
first week of their honeymoon in
Montreal. The newlyweds thor-
oughly enjoyed the races, night
clubs, ete.
The second week they spent at
Lake Placid, where the couple, ap-
propriately enough, stayed in “Mon
Amour Lodge.”
Both Helen Huntington and Mar-
cia Leake, who ran into Mr. Allard
at Lake Placid, reported that he
looked extremely happy.
Ficachy Awarded Prize
For ‘Old Albany’ Essay
Fach year Mr. Ledyard Cogswell,

who writes the most interesting
essay on Old Albany. Last year
Jean Figarski won the prize of five
dollars.
Miss Figarsky’s essay was about
the social life and customs of Old
Albany, In this she told of the old
theaters, streets, and the history of
State Street. In mentioning State
Street Miss Figarsky pointed out a
wall located between the National
Savings Bank and Huyler’s restau-
rant which might possibly be from
an old Dutch house.

the oldest of Frank Sinatra’s record-
ings. By the way, can anybody ex-
plain the mystery to me. Why does
one particular crooner merit so
much individual attention? Believe
it or not there’s an_ excellent re-
cording of “I Heard You Cried Last
Night’—no not by Sinatra but by
an equally good, if not better singer
—Dick Haymes.
Fats Waller's Piano
Fats Waller has come up with a
commendable number called “Up
Jumped You With Love.” It has
| good solid rhythm plus flashes of
solo work. Al Casey's guitar and
|Gene Sedric’s clarinet have good
moments but the vocal and lyrics
| are off. The reverse side is “Your
Socks Don’t Match” and has an ex-
cellent chorus on the piano in
[Ww aller’s impeccable style.
| Hits from “Oklahoma”
Most of the better sweet tunes
that are floating about come from
the season’s smash hit “Oklahoma.”
“People Will Say We're in Love”
and “Oh What a Beautiful Morn-
ing” are two excellent cxamples of
good music. But we dare you to
try and find recordings of them—
| they aren't to be had.
Benny Goodman’s “Mission to
Moscow” is a clever number in the
Russian style. Chief solo highlights
are, of course, provided by Benny,
| with some fine piano collaboration.
| When we say “that’s all” this
time, we more than mean it. If
Petrillo’s ban isn’t lifted soon, we'll
find “'m Only a Bird in a Gilded
Cage” number on the Hit Parade.
