State In Spain there is much
poverty and the people are very
primitive. The workers in the
fields are still thrashing grain as
the people did in the Biblical times.
Northeastern Spain seems more
prosperous than the other sections
in. Its big cities ar

nowadays one is unable to tell a

women in Spain tend to wear black,
and their clothes are very simply

“There is a great deal of wealth
in Spain, and- we saw considerable
evidence of it in the churches,” said
Miss Jackson. “When visiting

most is that the land is very dry

Count Your Blessings
From the recent Hollywood production of
“White Christmas’ comes Irving Berlin's sen-
timental musical number, “‘Count Your Bless-
ings Instead of Sheep.”
Now that we are engaged in the Thanks-
giving season, we turn to thank God; each in
our own way by the act of expressing grati-
tude for our blessings and mercies.
The custom of setting aside a day of thanks-
giving, dates back to that memorable occasion
at Plymouth Rock in 1621. The day is usually
celebrated on the last Thursday in November.
The Pilgrims thanked God for an abundant
harvest and for the humble sheds which were
their new homes.
‘We, who have so many more blessings than
did those Pilgrims, should be as sincerely
thankful as they were. Quite frequently we
find ourselves adding our sheep or thinking of
profits which we hope will prevail in the future.
Let us all try to think of the true meaning
of Thanksgiving and count our blessings in-
stead of our needs.

Red Raiders
--Your 54 Team--
Milne basketball teams have been
working out at practice held daily
since November 1, and are battling
vigorously to produce teams of
which Milne can be proud. With
the first game of this year’s season
already played, it might be a good
idea to get to know the players on
your teams.
Varsity Club Has Height
This year's varsity squad has all
the prospects of a winning team.
Six-footers Russ Peck and Paul
Howard, the two returning varsity
lettermen should add the needed
height and experience. The return
of the big 6’5” senior, Tom Foggo
after a year’s absence will also add
height. Joel Berman, John Bren-
nan, Larry Genden, Pete Hopper,
John Houston and Bob Keller are
the seniors moving up from last
year’s jayvee squad. Also advanc-
ing from the junior varsity are
three experienced juniors, Bruce
and Barry Fitzgerald and Dave
Wilson.
JV. Squad Spots Experience
This year’s jayvee has five play-
ers back from last year’s club.
These trained players include set-
shooter David Baim, Steve Green-
baum, who is another outside man,
Ron Killelea, Dave Quickenton and
Carl Epplemann. Two juniors are
on the team for the first time. These
are Tripp May, an ace set-shooter
and talented inside man, Paul Riss-
berger. Coming up from the past
year’s freshman team are sopho-
mores, Larry Berman, Jim Cohen
and Bob Knouse.
The freshman club sports some
new faces too, Bob Hardy and
George Knapp are both on a Milne
team for the first time. The pres-
ence of height - is noticed in
three players, Fred Corbat, George
Murphy and Dave Klingerman.
Holdovers from last year’s team are
Brud Snyder Dave Stegmann, Art
Norris, Gordon May, Bill Warren
and Bob Killough. The return of
Tom Sternfeld has strengthened the
hopes of the squad, although Tom
won’t be able to play until the sec-
ond semester because of - eligibility
rules.
Practice Makes Perfect
‘This year’s teams are practicing
hard to turn in a winning season.
Coach Harry Grogan is working
with the boys. He coaches the var-
sity and checks on_his assistants
who are coaching J.V. and Fresh-
man. The jayvee is under the su-
pervision of Tony DeBonis, a State
College student. His squad has
scrimmaged the varsity with very
good results. The freshman have
been getting in form for their open-
ing game with Chatham next week.
Head freshman coach is a graduate-
student at State, Bob Lansky. Work-
ing with him are three Milne stu-
dents, Paul Cohen, Russ Pack and
Larry Genden.
Now that you know who the play-
ers are, cheer them on to vietories. | Jan, 14—Columbia ....
In Action
Prepared for a pos
ble rebound, are Joel Berman, John Houston, Russ
Peck, and Larry Genden as Tom Foggo shoots.
MILNE HOOP
OPPOSITION
The Milne basketball team is
again participating in the Capital
District Basketball League. This
league includes six local schools.
The schools in the league are
Shenendehowa, Bethlehem Central,
Rensselaer, Albany Academy, Col-
umbia and Milne. The league is
run by a group which consists of
the principals and the coaches from
each of the member schools. Dr.
Fossieck, Milne’s principal, is presi-
dent for the period which includes
this hoop season. Coach Harry
Grogan is secretary-treasurer.
Below is a brief summary of the
teams that we play:
Academy: This team is an old
rival, but new in the league. They
have most of last year’s first string

1954-55 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE —
Hoop Helpers
Controlling the basketball man-
agers for the teams this year is a
junior, Paul Cohen, The head man-
ager’s job starts early in October,
a full month before the regular
season. His job is to make sure
that everything is ready for prac-
tice and games. Paul does this with
the help of a staff of seventeen
managers. These are Stu_Doling,
in charge of timing, Mike DePorte,
Al Jennings, Hans Pauly, Gene
Blabey, George Hartman, Rancy
Snyder, Kip Grogan, Mike Fisher,
Ricky Hutchison Jed Allen, Ralph
Ockenholt, Howie Wildove, Tommy
Olivo, John Harvey and Hilda
Klingerman. Hilda is the first girl
manager in the history of Milne’s
basketball. She will keep shots
charts at the games.
Managers Are Kept Busy
Once the season starts the full
manager staff begins action. Be-
fore the team can practice, the floor
must be cleaned and this a favorite
job for the new managers. During
a game there are a great number of
tasks to be done. We must have a
-|scorer and a timer for all games.
Boys are needed to take care of the
balls, towels and the court at half
time. The managers also work
during practice. They sweep the
floor, clean the balls and take care
of any small job that needs doing.
For the time and effort a manager
puts in during the hoop season he
receives a letter. He also attends

The pep assembly on November
22, featured the junior varsity and
varsity cheerleaders, The girls led
the cheers for the introduction of
the members of the team as well as
several other favorite cheers. The
most popular among the cheers
from last year was the pep cheer,
Here are the words for those who
are not familiar with them:
The team was in a huddle,
The captain raised his head
They all got together
And this is what they said,
We've got the pep,
We've got the steam
We've got the coach
We've got the team,
So give a cheer to make them score
Come on team we want more.
Working along with the varsity
squad was our “Happy Bear,” who
was first introduced last year.
Happy will be seen at all the bas-
ketball games this season, cheering
with the varsity squad,
Songleaders Selected
On Monday, November 5, eight
senior girls met in the music room
with Dr. York, Miss Murray and
Bob Killough. Two girls were to
be chosen as songleaders. Dr. York
and Miss Murray represented the
faculty as well as the music and
physical education departments. Bob
Killough as president of the junior
student council, represented the
junior high. Ann Gayle and Sheila
Fitzgerald, the two girls chosen
were seen for the first time at the
assembly. The girls wore new uni-
forms of red wool jumpers and
white blouses making a very pretty
addition to the program.
Every One can Dance
Ballroom dancing has been fea-
tured in the girl’s gym classes, Al-
most everyone can dance so, to add
a little variety, we have learned
some basic steps of several dances.
With a few new additions each
week the girls have learned: the
waltz, polka, rumba, fox trot, tango.
and can do the Mexican hat dance
and a little jitterbugging.
Several times the boys joined the
girls classes which gave them an
opportunity to learn the steps also.
Skating Party Coming
Every year the M.G.A.A. council
has the annual skating party, other-
wise known as the shin bruising
contest. This year as usual the
party will be held at Hoffman's
Skateland on Central Avenue, De-
cember 4. All members of G.A.A.
can get in free with tickets which
entitle them to skates also, If you
want shoe skates a charge of about
35 cents will be necessary, or you
may bring your own shoe skates.
Many of us are just amateurs but
each year, we find more and more
Milnites on the floor skating with
professional ease. Even though it
is a G.A.A. project, the rink is still
open to the public and the boys are
welcome. They, however, will have
to pay the regular price. Tickets
will be given out in gym classes by
Miss Murray.

Radio Station
Gives Lecture
By Alma Becker
On Saturday, October 30, 1954,
Connie Olivo and I were invited to
radio station WPTR for an educa-
tional lecture on the operation of a
radio station, After the lecture we
were guests of the station for
luncheon and a theater party.
At this meeting several schools in
the ar were represented. We
were given the chance to meet
many of the personalities at WPTR,
and were really surprised at their
appearan They were not the
same people we associated with
their voices.
Prizes Offered for Stories
Pri: were offered for the best
stori submitted reporting this
meeting to the feature writers of
the local schools represented.
The operation of a radio station
is itself a broad topic and can be
very confusing as we soon found
out. However, the individual de-
partments were summarized.
Purpose Is Appeal
The purpose of good programing
is, of course, appeal to the listener,
They should be informative and
educational as well as entertaining.
The appeal differs during different
of the day. For example, a
sc jockey would not play a Stan
Kenton selection at six o'clock in
the morning. The results of broad-
casting this selection would prob-
ably be a few heart attacks or ner-
vous breakdowns on the part of the
listener, Instead, soothing music

and news and weather is broadcast] a

the programs are directed toward
the housewife. The purpose of these

-SENIOR SPOTLIGHT———
By ANN 'n DIXON
SHEILA FITZGERALD
This bundle of vivacious feminine
pulchritude was born in Jamaica,
N. Y., on May 6, 1937. “Sheila
Mary,” as one of her numerous ad-
mirers calls her, attended P.S, 19
for her grammar school days and
then came to our halls of knowledge
in the eighth grade,
“Sister” spends most of her time
writing letters to “Oliver” (Harry
Page). If you really want to be
popular with Sheila, just tell her
how much you hate math, con-
ceited boys and getting up in the
morning,
Sheila is really an active girl, be-
ing last year’s Sigma secretary, and
ident. “Fitzie” is
manager of
chaplain for
a member of this year’s
cast, and is on the staff
Crimson and White and
of the
Bricks and Ivy.
After graduation, Sheila hopes to
attend Cornell University, where
she will major in either home eco-
nomics or English.
JOEL BERMAN
Now here’s a great senior—Joel
Berman! Joel, or Jeb as most of his
friends call him, came into this
world in New York City on June
30, 1937. Jeb moved to Albany in
1947, and attended P.S. 19, and then
came to Milne in the seventh grade.
Joel spends most of his time
mumbling “Pound Salt,” but yet he
manages to find time for open-
houses, and driving around with the
kids on week-ends. Joel’s crazy
about pizza, and “dancing with live
music,” but he can’t stand hoopers
that can dunk the ball, and those
low doors in ithe gym that he keeps
bashing his head against.
Joel is president of Theta Nu and
M.B.A.A., as well as being treasurer
of the senior class, and a member
of the traffic squad. Joel is also
a basketball and baseball player.
Quite a busy boy!
Joel wants to attend either Le-
high or Lafayette University, and
after graduation hopes to become
an industrial engineer,
EDWARD BLESSING
It’s not every day that we get to
interview two terrific red heads‘
And “Big Ed” Blessing is one of the
two we're speaking of. 7
Born July 1, 1937, Ed entered
Milne in the seventh grade, They've
kept him busy since then, Among
other things, he is president of
Adelphoi, vice president of the
senior class, president of inter-
society council, and a traffic squad
officer.
“Amiable Edward” says he likes
water skiing and open houses. On
the other hand, he doesn’t care for
people who tell him how to run his
business, or student teachers on the
wrong stairs.

CRITICS LAUD
RETIREING CAST
A capacity Page Hall audience
applauded Milne seniors’ production
of Ladies in Retirement, Saturday
evening, November 13.
Commenting upon the perform-
ance, Mr, James Cochrane, English
supervisor, stated: “All members of
the company deserve high praise.
Properties were handled in such a
professional manner that less than
two minutes occurred between
scenes, The stage crew provided a
fine set and handled its construction
and dismantling efficiently. Lights
sound effects were handled
smoothly and on cue.
“There was nothing retiring about
the performance of the players. The
roles in this play are extremely
difficult to create, Although there
were occasional instances of failure
to ‘stay in character,” all members
did a remarkable job of creating a
believable role, Outstanding in this
respect was Janet Vine’s portrayal
of Ellen, I think that the seniors
will long remember Judie Bright-
man’s collection of driftwood, Cyn-
thia’s telescope, Dave Brown's
horse, Steve Levine's ‘battle. of the
fuses,’ Ann Crocker’s candy, Sally
Cook’s curtsies, Judy Young's anti-
macassars, and Pete Birkel’s hiding
of the wig. Praise is due Doris
Mehan, Milne graduate, for her
skillful direction, and thanks go to
Mr. Hugh Smith and Miss Anita
Dunn for their supervision of di-
rection and properties.”
Dr. Fossieck, principal, when
asked his opinion of the perform-
ance said, “To do such a good job
with such a long and difficult play
without disturbing the routine of
the school kable. This
year's senior is to be con-
gratulated.”
Congratulations go to William
Warren who recently won $15
first prize in the junior high
division for his window painting
in the Central Avenue Halloween
picture contest. The subject of
his painting was an old country
road lined with trees in autumn
foliage.
