The Christmas Spirit
Merry Christmas! On behalf of the entire
Milne staff | would like to extend that and all
of the other season's greetings to each of you
Milne students. You may be sure that you will
be in our thoughts throughout the holiday sea-
son, and we-will be hoping that this will be
the most enjoyable Christmas you have ever
had,
In the midst of all the receiving with which
Christmas is associated, | hope that you will
do a little giving. | hope that you will devote
a little of your time and money to help some-
one who is not quite so fortunate as you are.
Attention to the needs of others is one of the
signs of the maturity which we are trying to
help you achieve in all of the experiences which
we provide for you. If you can get satisfaction
out of helping others, you will have a very
Merry Christmas,
Theodore H. Fossieck, Principal.
Coming ?
Did you ever stop to think how lucky we
are that Milne has such an affair as the Alumni
Ball?
In most schools when a student receives his
diploma that is the end of his relationship with
the school. Milne enables its graduates to
continue participating in some of its social
activities.
Each year the junior class is given the re-
sponsibility of putting on this dance. When
you become a junior, you'll realize the job is
far from being easy. The class makes all
arrangements including sending invitations,
securing a band and decorating the gym.
Don't forget this dance is for both Alumni
and Milne students. Let's not make the
juniors’ job a thankless one. We can help
make the dance a suc by turning out in
large numbers and backing the juniors one
hundred percent!

VanRensselaer Triumphs
In Closely Played Game
Van Rensselaer’s fast moving
quintet handed Milne’s Red Raiders
a 51-38 setback on the strength of
a 17-point first quarter scoring
spree. The game, which was played
the eastsiders’ court, was the
initial Class C league contest of the
season.
Rensselaer in First Quarter Surge
The Blue and White opened the
game with a burst of offensive
power which combined speed with
accurate shooting. Coach Thomp-
son’s charges sunk seven out of nine
attempted field baskets in the first
quarter. These and three charity
tosses gave Van Rensselaer a 13-
point first period margin as the Red
Raiders connected on only two free
throws and one field basket for a
four point total.
MeNeil Leads Comeback
In the second quarter Milne out-
scored Van Rensselaer as a tighten-
ing Crimson defense held the Rams
to eight points while a rejuvenated
Red Raider offense poured in ten
markers.
The scoring continued to be fair- |
ly even after halftime with the |
Rams staging a minor rally and |
scoring 12 points to the Raiders’ |
nine in the third quarter. Captain
Ted McNeil of Milne sunk two
baskets for his club while Ish
Tonkin countered with three of the
same for his team. |
Milne Closes Margin |
Going into the third period with |
a 37-23 lead, Van Rensselaer was |
hard pressed to keep its advantage.
At one point, the hard driving Milne |
club cut the marging separating the |
two teams down to seven points, but
the Blue and White rallied and
gained back their conaenati |
lead. After gaining an 11 point
advantage on the Crimson and
White, the Rams attempted to
freeze the ball, but not too success- |
fully. The home club had the ball |
stolen repeatedly and was forced |
to give up the attempted freeze in
order to match points with the
visitors. The action continued up
to the final second with V.R.HS.

Milne showed a big improvement
at the foul line where the Raiders

points in the last minute. Paul

LORNER
By “LARRY”
“Keep that stick down” is Miss
Murray's battle cry since ring stick
hockey has started. All the classes
have it during gym and after school.
The junior high has intramurals
Monday and Friday while the senior
high plays once a week on Thurs-
day. The junior high captains are:
Gade, Jane Lockwood, Sue
, Allison Parker, Nancy Bellin,
Nancy Tripps, Gwendolyn Hart,
and Beth Seligman, Sue Gunther,
Nancy Prescott, Frances Mitchell,
Joan Sutherland, Claire Marks,
Sandra Dare and Cynthia Tainter
aré heading the senior high teams.
There are so many places you can’t
put your stick, the game is very
confusing.
Gym Classes Bowl
Every Wednesday the girls take
time out from ring stick hockey to
go to Rice’s and bowl duck pins.
One group each Wednesday bowls
with the big balls. The seventh
graders have proven their ability
as bowlers with the highest scores
of all the classes, although Mary
MacNamara '54, bowled 101 with
duck pins. The new popcorn ma-
chine and pop machine are really
distracting, but very welcome.
Koller Skating Party Success
Hoffman's Skateland was the
ne of mad confusion Saturday
afternoon, December 10. Bumped
knees and sore legs were the re-
sults of the girls’ afternoon of real
fun, sponsored by M.G.A.A. Many
ot the girls practiced on the smaller
rink before daring to skate on the
big rink. The little seventh graders
i surprised to learn that
could actually roller
they found out she’s
ty good, at that! Pat Reilly ’52
was the most talented Milnite on
the rink, so if you want to know
how to avoid bumped knees, ete.,
just ask Pat.
Review Cheers
Quite a few of the new students
and even some of the old aren't sure
of the jayvee and varsity cheers,
so here are the words to a few
cheers:
Drop ‘em Far
Drop ’em far, drop ‘em near
Come on Milne, here's a cheer,
Shoot 'em high, shoot 'em low
Come on fellows, let’s go!
Yea Team
Yea team we want more,
Se come on Raiders,
Yell for the Crimson
We yell for the Crimson,
We yell for the White,
We yell for the Milne boys to
Fighi, fight, fight!
In the basket, out the basket
Bounce it on the floor,
On Milne High School,
Score. score, score!
Open the Gate
Open the gate, open the gate,
Give us room to circulate,
We're not rough,
We're not tough
We're from Milne, that’s enough.
Have a wonderful vacation and
Tl! see you January 3.
