Goodbye Mrs. Moore
Perhaps you've noticed the new teacher in
the library this week. She's Mrs. Tibbetts who
is taking over for Mrs, Genevieve Moore,
We'll miss Mrs. Moore, who has done such a
splendid job in the library for four years.
Who can forget the help ehe has given to
all of us? We can still remember what an
excellent sport she was when the alarm clock
went off during library. The Crimson and
White is particularly grateful to Mrs, Moore
for her marvelous cooperation with the staff
as an adviser. The senior class certainly has
appreciated her friendliness and aid as a class
adviser.
Mrs. Moore will be remembered by all as
a friend and a grand person. The entire school
will roiss her smile and will miss HER.
Come On Milne
Milne is playing V.I. this Saturday night in
our next to the last game. This means that
we haven't much time to show the team how
much we really appreciate their efforts. The
only way we can convey our thanks is to turn
out at the next two games and YELL!!!
V.I. has an excellent basketball team but
so has Milne. The Milne boys will always put
up a good fight and they are out to win. This
coming game should prove to be a thriller.
Milne has a fine squad of cheer leaders who
have worked hard to think of new cheers to
spur the team to victory. The Varsity has a
splendid record for this season. They certainly
deserve the wholehearted support of the stu-
dent body.

For High of Evening;
ee BsG@ RS WVinws Vi
The Milne team defeated BCHS
in the fourth quarter of the team’s
second meeting. The game was
hard fought and well played but
the Milne superiority showed in the
last period as they outscored the
home team 14-10 to go home on the
long end of a 40-35 score.
First Half Slow
The first quarter was slow as
each team tried to find out what the
other was playing and figure a way
to break it. When the gun ended
the first eight minutes of play,
Milne was in front, 7-4.
The second period was equaliy as
slow as the first, as neither team
could seem to get their offensive
working and also becau-e the team’s
defenses were very strong. Again
when the gun sounded, Milne was
in the lead, 14-9.
The third quarter was easier to
watch since both teams picked up
a little and the game became evener
and rough in a few places. The
quarter ended in favor of Milne
26-25.
In the fourth and final feriod,
Milne rallied in the late minutes to
take a well-played, hard-fought
contest from the Bethlehem Central
Varsity, 40-35.
Hunting of Milne took scoring
honors for the evening with 16
points while Manus and Powers led
BCHS with 11 and 10 points re-
spectively.
Ned Powers, high scoring forward
of Delmar, was held to three field
goals by Bob French and Scott
Hamilton, Milne guards. The only
shot that Powers could make was a
shot in the middle which was pretty
well blocked.
The BCHS
school got some satis-
faction from the night when their
Jayvee's ran away with the game
to the tune of 56 to 15. This was
the Delmar Jayvee’s twenty-first
consecutive win in two years.

Girls’ Ball Teams|
Play lwo Games
The Milne Girls’ basketball vars- |
ity and second team attended a}
basketball playday at Albany Girls’
Academy on Tuesday, February 26
at 3:30 P. M. The varsity was de-
feated 30-22 but the Milne second
team defeated the Academy second
team in a close game, 17-16. Arnie
was high scorer for the varsity with
12 and Martin was high for the
second team with 12 also.
The teams left directly after
school and were greeted by the
Academy girls, immediately after
which the games began.
The varsity contest was close, the |
score standing 12-12 at the end of
the half. “Arnie”, Jan Paxton and
Ellen Fletcher started as forwards
with Mary Kilby, Alice Wilson and
Margie Bookstein as guards. The
game was speedy from the begin-
ning with the girls on both teams
working hard. The score was nip
and tuck, neither team taking a
large lead at any time during the
first three quarters. “Red” Austin
played most of the second and third
quarters, substituting for forward
Fletcher.
At the end of the third quarter,
the score was 20-18 in favor of the
Academy, who immediately ex-
panded their lead in the beginning
of the fourth quarter. The Milne
Varsity couldn't seem to overcome
the last Academy spurt, the final
team game was a
close, hard-fought contest also, with
the Milne team ahead by one or
two points most of the time. Mable,
Martin, B. J. Flanders and Shirley
Tainter started as forwards with
auc Pellitier substituting, and Bar- |
Betham, Lois Prescott and |
Dotis Long and Natalie Woolfolk as |
substitute, played guard. The score
stood at 7-6 in favor of the Academy
at the half and during the last two
quarters, both teams battled for the
lead. Milne came out victor with
the aid of a basket by the Milnites
in the last minute of play. The
final score was 17-15.
“Arnie” startled all at the play-
day with her new sneaks instead of
her traditional moccasins, they were
so white they practic: lly blinded
the Academy players, but unfortun-
ately the sensation wore off after a
while.

‘Schuyler, 55-38
On Hackett Court
The Milne team wae solling an
high gear in the second Interna-
tional game with the Philip Schuyler
varsity as it reached up 55 points
to Schuyler’s 38.
The first quarter was fast with the
crimson and white of Milne garner-
ing 18 points to the home team’s 8.
The Milne team showed much of-
fensive power as they handled the
ball very well and shot with unerr-
ing accuracy.
The second period was fought on
even terms as Schuyler began to
understand the visitors’ offense and
set up accordingly to break it up.
Even so, Milne outscored Schuyler
mainly because their defense was
strong. The half time score was
29-15 for Milne.
The third period was played on
even terms with both teams play-
ing excellent basketball but Milne
held the slight edge, outscoring
Schuyler as the third period score
cf 43-26 indicates.
The fourth stanza was played on
identical terms with much passing
and play making by both teams but
this couldn’t help Schuyler, who
was already defeated. The final
score was Milne 55 and Philip
Schuyler 38.
Don Howard was high scorer for
Milne and got the highest score
of the season, scoring 28 points.

On March 2nd there was a basket-
ball playday at the Knickerbocker
Junior High School given by Lan-
singburgh High School and eighteen
schools besides Milne were repre-
sented. A game with Emma Wil-
lard proved a defeat for Milne with
a score of 8-3, Paxton made the
only 3 points of the game.
Albany Academy for Girls also
beat Milne with a score of 11-7.
“Arnie”, Joan Austin and Jan each
made two points for Milne while
Fletch” made one.
A game with the team from St.
Agnes was Milne’s only victory. Ten
points for
and six for " made a final
score of 25 points for Milne while
St. Agnes had 12.
The other schools represented at
the playday were Mt. Pleasant,
Columbia, Saratoga, Albany High
School, Philip Livingston, Lansing-
burgh, Draper, Rensselaer, Water-
ford, Cohces, Ballston, Knicker-
becker, Watervliet, B.C.HS., and
Berlin.
“Fletch”, Barbara Betham and
| Margie Bookstein took the tests for
refereeing ratings. They all passed
the written test but Margie was the
only one who passed the practical
part of the exam. She actually re-
ceived her rating. Nice going,
Margie!
On Monday, March 4, the girls
in the Junior and Senior classes
began spending their gym periods
bowling at Rice's. There are sev-
eral girls who are well experienced
at it and then there are others who
are pretty green. Glada Appleton
surprised everyone by bowling 101
for the first time that she had ever
bowled a game. Margaret Quinn
is quite proud of her 142 which is
the highest score she has ever
reached. As the weeks go by, we
expect to see many more high
secrers. The separate classes will
bowl in tournament form after the
beginners learn the fundamentals of
the sport.
The Milne swimming classes are
in full swing at the YWCA every
Thursday afternoon. Most of the
beginners have graduated into the
intermediate group and the inter-
mediates are beginning to take their
final tests. The junior life savers
are hard at work and are trying
hard to keep from drowning each
other.

The sophomores are back to nor-

sir, for two seemingly endless weeks

ical music. Then too, there was the
Adelphoi conga line put on for the
enjoyment of the noon time crowd.
Phi Sigma had their share of the
fun too, with Gerry Wolfgang and
Aubrey Hudgins, the idol of ALL
the pledges.
This type of “welcome” treatment
together with a bit of traditional
rivalry between societies went on
until last Saturday morning when
the final initiation, the “dream-
come-true” for all, came off in the
lockers. It began in the early hours
of the day and continued until the
afternoon.
Adelphoi Begins Initiations
Adelphoi had the honored spot of
being the first among the “wel-
comers”, meeting their boys at 7:30
A. M. There were goodies for
everyone including eggs, mustard,
Karo syrup, Grapenuts, and powd-
ered garlic which we knew the
sophomores would adore. There
was also a big fish which jumped
gaily from arm to arm, calisthenics
and fun for all. After a few added
surprises, the boys cleaned the
shower room for the incoming crowd
and gratefully thanked us all for
our kindness during the past weeks.
At around 10:00 A. M., one noticed
a group of Phi Sigma kiddies shiver-
ing in the halls. This condition did
not last long, however, for they
were quickly relieved and headed
into the shower room. There, too,
(as the picture shows you), the best
kind of a greeting was given, in-
cluding the pleasure of rolling
around on the slightly moistened
floor. ’
Theta Nu Holds Last Stand
Theta-Nu and its contingent ar-
rived last, but prepared however to
welcome their choices in the man-
ner which has made the society
famous. Most unique among the
thrills was the considerably “warm”
Tabasco sauce plus a hot shower
which added to the enjoyment of
all. All the boys took an ‘plane
ride’ and were led blindfolded
throughout the lockers.
When all was finished, the thank-
ful underclassmen! departed quickly,
all harboring thoughts of what they
will do next year to those ever-
inquisitive freshmen!

Bricks and Ivy
‘Goes to Printers
Amid Headaches
By JEAN PIRNIE
Editor of “Bricks and Ivy”
“Hey, Price, where's the Math
Department layout? Paxton, is the
prophecy ready?’ Will you kids
please leave those pictures alone?
|No, not even one look because if
you do, everyone else will have to
| See what's going on, and we'll never
jmake the deadline. Jeepers, I’m
| going mad! Will someone get those
kids out of here!”
“Fletch, find Becky and get the
will from her. Where’s Miss Conk-
lin? If anyone sees her, let me
know. I'll be back in two minutes
—have to call the printer. Lois, ask
Miss Martin if the Art page is O. K,,
will you, huh?”
Why Editors Turn Grey
“Whew! What did I do to deserve
this? The yearbook’s practically
due at the printer’s and there is
still a pile of stuff to do.”
“So this is the way things go.
Just ask me if you want to know
how to go stark, raving crazy in
one hard lesson. You can’t beat
the game—when things seem to be
rolling along, what happens? First,
flashbulbs are non-existent, then a
camera goes on the blink, and so on
into the night. After zooming all
over, skidding around corners, fall-
ing downstairs, I collapsed on a nice,
soft desk. The other poor kids who
had been sweating with me draped
themselves conveniently around.
“Jean what's the penalty for
breaking a contract?”
“Puleeze! Probably twenty years
in Leavenworth, but don’t remind
me. What do you think I’ve been
dreaming of for the past week?
Come on—we can make it!”
We all staggered back to the
mountains of pictures and copy,
wondering how we could resist the
temptation to heave the whole mess
out of the window.
They Did It
One hour later there was a neat
(2). pile on the desk. Smitty was
still pecking away at the trusty
typewriter (borrowed fom the C.
& W.), but we were beginning to
|see the light. Roz dashed in with
|the last writeup and yours truly
| breathed a sigh of relief at long
|last. We all looked like wet dish
rags, our hair had turned gray, but
the yearbook was ready!
P.S.—The yearbooks will be out
early in June.
