Societies Feast,
Induct Pledges
With the end of rehearsals and
other preparations for the two soror-
ity rushes in November, Quin and
Sigma began selecting new members
and planning their annual banquets.
Pledges Provide Entertainment
Quin members attended their ban-
quet at Herbert's Restaurant, Thur:
day, January 7. After a takeoff on
the Steve Allen show by the pledges,
18 new members were inducted into
the organization,
Sigma’s banquet, also at Herbert's,
took place on January 14, Enter-
tainment on a beatnik theme was
provided by the pledges, organized
by co-chairmen Lois Goldman and
Judie Margolis. The 22 new girls
were then brought into Sigma
Quin Members Eat Progressively
During the first semester, Quin
also had a progressive dinner, The
15 girls who attended met at Julie
Propp's home for the appetizer. The
group then trouped over to Riki
Stewart's for the main dish, spag-
hetti, Judy Fisher provided ice
cream for dessert. Quin girls com-
pleted the occasion by going to the
Palace theater to see the movies,
“Career” and “Born To Be Beauti-
ful.”
Milne Votes Mao
Man of the Year
Each year Time Magazine chooses
a “Man of the Year”, the person
whom the editors believe has done
the most to make news and place
himself in the public eye. In con-
junction with this, the weekly news
magazine holds a contest among high
schools, giving each American |
tory class a chance to guess who the
famous personage will be.

SENIORS CONDUCT RESEARCH
Under the guidance of Mr, Edward
Fagan, Milne English supervisor,
two seniors, Ken Hoffman and Paul
Sabol, conducting a psycho-
linguistics experiment,
This project is to determine
whether verbal ability, as measured
by standard tests, is the product of
environment, as measured by social
class status, Tests have heen made
in several area schools which will
remain anonymous, as will the
dents who took the tests. The results
ave being processed and when com-
pleted will be illustrated in gr
form.
Test Recorded
The procedure in administering
the tests as devised by Ken and Paul
is based on standard scientific prac-
tice. A pre-recorded set of instruc-
tions explains what each student is
to do. Then the recording proceeds
to give the test. The following is an
rpt from the tape
. You are about to take part in
a word game. All you will need is
a pencil. A sheet of paper will be
given to you with the numbers one

“veady,” pick up your pencil. Then

|It will be given only once. Then
write down the first word that comes
Jinto your mind next to the correct
Jnumber. For example: I will say
|“pin.” You might write down the
|word “stick” .
| Word Responses Important
The list is made up of control and
experimental words, The experimen-
tal words are the ones with which
the two psychology students are con~
gered. For example, the word
“steel” may signify the metal, steel,
or the act, “to steal.” Such words

Council Acts On
Major Projects
The Senior Student council has
undertaken various projects in the
previous semester,
A signboard ranks first. Last year
the Council recognized the need for
an additional bulletin board on which
to list weekly activities such as bas-
ketball games, dances and _ special
assembl; Due to the efficient work
the Council, a new glass-incased
rdw. erected early in the
school year, As a result, well-in-
formed Milne students can now
keep up with special events listed
on this board,
Council Integrates Lunchrooms
Controversy over the lunchroom
situation has occupied the time of
the Senior Student council also.
Most students seem to approve of
the present system of lunchroom
integration organized by the council.
The Junior Student council, how-
eve voiced some disapproval
because of a lack of chairs in the
seventh and eighth grade lunch-
room, The Senior council will aid
them to find a satisfactory solution
in this and other matters,
Milne Attends Workshop
Members of the Milne council at-
tended a workshop at Voorheesville
Central high school earlier this year.
Sponsored by the Association of
Student Councils in the Albany dis-
trict, this workshop included discus-
sion groups on the various aspe
of running a student council. Miln
delegates exchanzed helpful infor-
mation with council members of
other area’ schools.

Students Need fiterary Magazine
It has long been a recognized fact that
Milne needs a medium for displaying its abun-
dance of creative writing talent. Every spring
the Crimson and White sponsors a creative
writing contest. Sometimes the response is
fairly good. However, unless many people
respond the essays or poetry cannot all be
printed. Not too many years ago a little
mimeographed magazine was put out. It con-
tained the writings submitted to the contest.
However, the contest is run by the school and
the students are not in full charge, What is
needed is a literary magazine during the sec-
ond semester.
This publication would cals any suitable
literary creative work, including poetry, fic-
tion, drama, essays, etc. To provide an oppor-
tunity for the creative impulse a medium for
“extra-curricular’’ creative writing is surely
a responsible request. It would constitute a
controversial medium, one in which opinion
on contemporary issues could be expressed,
The need for expression and criticism and for
the handling of ideas should be channeled and
manifested in this publication
The printing would be necessarily reduced
to mimeograph. Any improvement in the
printing media would require initiative on the
part of the publication’s contributors. Whether
school funds would be used or not is a deci-
sion for our student council and faculty. If
they consider it an impractical venture or
object on other grounds, personal funds can
be used (the cost of a mimeograph is low) and
the publication could be distributed either in
school or in out-of-school functions.
It is sincerely hoped that the faculty will
understand the motive and need behind such
a project. It could easily provide another
dimension for the Milne educational scope,
for the individual student's intellectual de-
velopment, one which might prove exception-
ally rewarding.

The wind howls, each outburst like

Wrenching the leaves, hurling them
