Citr War Council
Reaches Goal
“The Albany Sindene War Cour
cil, for the second time since its
founding, has succeeded in_ sur-
passing a War Bond and Stamp
goal,” announced Richard Bates,
president. The latest home front
victory by the high school students
of the city came on February 12th,
Lincoln’s birthday. A quota of
$40,000 had been set. The figures
on that date read $42,014.00.
Last December 7, Pearl Harbor
day, with a goal of $15,000 set, the
students climaxed a spirited drive
and were able to surpass the goal
by over $9,000. With only seven
weeks of actual school since then,
the pupils have purchased over
$17,000 to top the $40,000 goal by
$2,014.
The school and their totals are as
follows: Albany High School, $10,-
963; Albany Academy for Boys,
$4,600; Albany Academy for Girls,
an Cathedral, $581; Christian
Brothers Academy, $3,200; Academy
of Holy Names, $1,280; Milne, $6,-
149; Philip Schuyler $6,661; St.
Joseph’s, $242; St. Agnes’, $1,146;
and Vincentian, $5,200.
A new goal of about $100,000 may
be established by the council. The
date set for such a goal would be
May 15, or June 1.
The Student War Council is also
discussing plans for an intra-city
musical program which would be
held_in March for the benefit of
the Red Cross.
Senior Class Forms
Executive Committee
Senior Class members voted
unanimously to establish an execu-
tive committee to handle matters
concerning the class during their
homeroom meetings on Monday,
February 15. The action was taken
to expedite the handling of many
situations involving the class, which
may turn up. Until now, rsenior
classes have always had to hold
a class meeting, with a major-
ity of members present, in order to
deal with anything concerning the
class. This meant that important
matters which offen needed im-
mediate attention were often cut off
for days or even weeks, until class
meetings could be arranged.
The members of the committee
will consist of the four class officers,
and two homeroom representatives,
six in all. President Charles Cross,
who will be chairman, ex-officio, of
the committee, and Dorothy Rider,
secreti are of Homeroom 130.
Vice-President Harvey Holmes, and
Treasurer Benjamin Van Acker will
represent the Art-Room. Homeroom
233 has elected as its delegates to
the council Betty Vail and Ger-
aldine Carlock.
‘Milne Displays
WPA Art Work
On First Floor
With the disbanding of the W.P.A.
Federal Art Project in Albany, the
works of project artists are being
allocated to various schools and
hospitals in this vicinity. State
College has been fortunate in re-
ceiving a collection of sixty-three
original paintings and prints. Miss
Ruth Hutchins of the College Art
department, Miss Grace Martin and
Mr. James Lockman of Milne have
been industriously “hanging” in
Milne’s first floor corridor all last
week. Milne is fortunate in having
the year’s largest art exhibit in its
corridors. College students will
have reason to come to Milne to
see the exhibit.
Employed Many Artists
The Federal Art Project, all
through the depression, was active
in providing work for professional
artists of all types. At its peak it
employed 5,212 artists of all types.
Many schools, post offices, and other
public buildings are decorated with
the work of project artists.
Everyone Invited
“Milne and college students and
their parents and friends are in-
vited to visit this exhibition from
February 15 to March 1,” said Miss
Martin in discussing the collection.
Eventually the pictures will be hung
in various rooms throughout the
College buildings, she continued.
Members of the faculty who are in-
terested in learning something about
the artists are invited to see Mi:
Martin, who has some of the bio-
graphical notes loaned to her by
Mr. Hinkelman, in charge of the
liquidation of the Federal Art
Project.

School Suffers in Cold Spell
Milne’s casualty list is tolling
higher and higher. Monday the
first effects were noticeable, with
Meg Hunting, Fay Metcalf, and
Mona Delehant reporting frozen
|. legs. John Hutchinson added a
frozen cheek to the ever growing
list, as did Al Mendel his frozen
ear,. while Gordon Kilby just
plain froze. John Morrison re-
ceived a frozen bottle of milk in
the annex.
Came Wednesday, and Laura
Fay Dancy tripped on the way
to the cafeteria, and after being
rushed to the hospital, had six
stitches on her forehead. This
list is official.
Senior School Choir
Will Sing for College
Milne Band D Dastved Talent
During State-Niagara Game
The Milne senior school choir
will sing at the State College
assembly today at 11:30. They will
sing for a twenty-minute period.
The Milne triple trio will also
perform. The members are: Felita

Norma Johnson, ’45, Shirley Mescall,
°45, and Eleanor McFee, ’43, second

company the choir.
The Milne band played at the
State College-Niagara game last
Friday night in the Page Hall gym.
The band was received very well
by the college students. They
played many encores. It is possible
that they will play at another State
College game.
If Mr. Roy York, director of the
music department is not in the army
by spring, the music department
may present another concert in
May.
The band will not play at the
Philip Schuyler game tomorrow
night, but they will probably play
at the games on the fifth and sixth.
of March.
Societies Postpone
Quin-Sigma Dance
The annual Quin-Sigma dance,
scheduled for February 19, has been
ned one week to February 26
a vote of both societies. The
reason for the postponement is the
fact that the. Varsity and J.V. fel-
lows would be unable to attend
because of the Schuyler game on
Saturday night. The societies wish
the dance to be a success and more
couples will be present on the 26th.
Paul Parker's orchestra will sup-
ply the music and tickets are on
sale for $1.10 per couple.
The initiation of new members
of Quin and Sigma was held Tues-
day, February 16, at 3:30 in the
lounge and libra: respectively.
There the sophomores underwent
rigorous tortures.
After the fun the girls met in the
Home Economics room for refresh-
| ments
In the near future Quin members

To the Editor
The letter appearing in last. week's paper
about the cheerleading squad called forth a lot
of unfair criticism. Tam not going to say the
article was completely wrong. It had quite a
few good \points in it, but—
In the first place as far as our putting on a
floorshow goes, last year, we didn’t have yery
good cheers and the students complained. So
this year we worked hard to get some peppy new
cheers and some cute snappy formations for the
old ones, and what happens? We are accused
of trying to put on a floorshow! In fact, our
cheers hardly show up when compared to the
cartwheels, front flips and other tricks practiced
by Columbia, B. C. H. S., Rensselaer and Water-
vliet. We don’t want to put on a floorshow. We
simply want to get the crowd pepped up and
yelling.
The members of the cheerleading squad
would like to bring out three points. The first
is that we do not take twenty cheerleaders to
games! “The junior squad has a limit of five
for away games and ten for home games. ‘The
senior squad has no limit but usually takes
about the same number as the junior squad. My
second point is that all the cheerleaders are
needed. The “fight” cheer uses ten and “Vic
uses 7, so you see they aren’t just excess
Vhe third reason is that this method
oosing the cheerleading squad was. s\
gested by Dr. Frederick, A certain number are
selected from each grade so that there will never
be an inexperienced squad.
Mr. Bulger said that in his opinion the girls
have done a fine job this year, and that he is
very pleased, He thinks Milne’s cheerleaders
look better on the floor than any other school
squad. And by the way, you will find that all
other school squads are as large or larger than
ours! And if anyone is looking for improve-,
ments, how about a little more response to the
cheers? ‘aryl Ferber, junior squad.
milne merry-go-round
Senior Spotlight
At long last, when the cheerleaders say the Whip-
poorwhill cheer, all can yell, Beat Schuyler. For the
last twelve games, there has been someone in the
ast” cheering sections who determinedly wants to
beat Schuyler, regardless of whom our opponents
might be. Well, it all comes out well, and tonight's
the night, The boys will haye rested well tonight,
and everyone in the school must turn out to watch
them stop Schuyler’s winning streak of fourteen
games. Sounds simple, huh? Well, it is for the Milne
Red Raiders. They have been riding on a little win-
ning streak of their own , . . There was a horrible
showing at last week’s game against St. John’s. The
few rooters who were there paired off after the game
and many were seen trudging up to Wagar’s and
Herbert's among other places . . . Ed Bookstein, our
own Yale man, was back visiting his old haunts.
The old adage, “Beatty is-only skin deep,” was
proved wrong Tuesday. It should say, “Beauty is
only make-up deep.” For proof, ask the sophomore
girls, Without lipstick, powder, and other paint, they,
for some reason or other, didn’t look their usual
gamourous selves: Ask Dottie Hoopes why she likes
her red hair better than Audrey’s. They look the
same color to most people . . . The Sigma girls all
said that they were happy to be in that society, but
cried anyway, It just doesn’t make sense... .
Another Milne custom. Another Milne dance, The
dance is the Quin-Sigma, The custom is postponing
an event,
This time the dance has been postponed only one
week, and the C.B,A, basketball game originally
scheduled for that night, February 26, has been
anged to March 6. All this was done, so the
“varsity boys” could attend the dance. The list of
who's dragging whom will definitely be in next
week, after all dates have been unscrambled, made,
and remade.
Doris Spector is going to the Junior-Freshmen
dance at Union this Saturday. The Junior Prom there
is coming up in March and Janet Taylor is going with
guess-whom? R.P.I. is combining their Junior Prom
and Soph Soiree in March, also, Nat Mann favors
the Tech men to those of Union, it seems, as does
June Welsh . . . Dick Lawyer, U.S.A., was home over
the weekend. He disrupted the 12:35 English classes
with his arrival. Johnny Brown was home, too, It’s
good to see the boys back again . . . There was a lot
f comment about last week's open letter, Most of
you Milnites don’t seeem to realize that “J.M.” stands
for Joe Milnite and not for John Morrison. We offer
pologies to poor John, who was credited
i
the mystery of the

Spector, all received them, in the same kind of
envelopes, mailed at the same time, and typed on the
same typewriter. Queer, isn’t it? Of course, there
were the usual sweet sentiments floating around.
Hearts and flowers, ah me. . , .
Did ‘you miss Gordon Kilby last week?
youngest couple at the Quin-Sigma will
Barnet and Nancy Moorehead. More
couples should follow suit... The seniors are going
dramatic. They had their tryouts for the play last
week, and there was a big turnout . Roy Rand is

Dear Editor:
Decrease the cheering squads? Why? This school
has so much school spirit that they don’t need so
many? ‘To this I say “Ha.” If we have so much
school spirit then why doesn’t it show? Anyone that
attends our games will realize that it’s the cheerleaders
that are giving their all to cheer our fellows and that
most of the Milnites seem to attend the games with a
“well, I had nothing better to do attitude and whom
do you find at the away games, whether fair weather
or foul?” The cheerleaders, the teams and that’s all.
If they can get there why ¢an’t you?
And even our teams show no cooperation off the
court. When they are not playing, they sit there like
a row of MUMMIES! If they'd yell, perhaps they
might inspire a little spirit in the rest of the spectators.
So here’s our answer—
When we have more school spirit the squad will be
‘decreased because it won't be needed.

Milne Defeats St. John’s of
Rensselaer in Page Gym
Red Raiders Top New
Foe in Weekend Game
The Milne Hoopsters topped St.
John’s Academy of Rensselaer last
Saturday night by the score of 49
to 26. The Milne Junior Varsity also
won by the impressive score of 45
to 20. The games were played on
the Page Hall court.
Hal Game held high scoring hon-
ors for Milne with 14 points. San-
ford Fedeli was high scorer for the
St. John’s Quintet.
Leads All Way
The Milne team held the upper
hand throughout the entire game.
St. John’s battled hard in the last
half but were unable to lift the
shroud of their defeat. The game
started off with a lot of action on
Milne’s part, putting the Red Raid-
ers ahead by a more than comfort-
able margin. The first quarter ended
with Milne way out in front.
St. John’s Fights
In the second quarter, the C. and
W. five kept the lead they had
gained over the hard-fighting St.
John’s boys. The Red Raiders
stayed ahead easily in the third
quarter, even though the Eagle’s
fought with renewed vigor. The
last quarter saw the Milne team
slackening a bit. The St. John’s
boys tried to rally, but could not
sink enough baskets to catch up
with the terrific Milne lead. Game
and Swartz played excellent games
for Milne, and Carey also played a
good game for the Eagles.
Seventh Win
The St. John’s J.V., who have
lost only one game hefore they
faced the Milnites, went down to a
crushing defeat before the Milne
attack. Lee Aronowitz was high
scorer for Milne with 14 points.
Tom Dyer and Bill Baker played
fine ball to give the J.V’s their
seventh victory.
The Milne frosh defeated the
Vincentian freshmen by the score
of 20 to 17.
A fair-sized crowd turned out for
the game and the gym was not quite
full to capacity. Soda was sold by

East Side Loss
Last Friday evening the Milne
Red Raiders won over the Rensse-
laer High School, to the score of 34
to 19. The Milne J.V. also won;
the whole affair taking place at the
Rensselaer High School gym.
Rensselaer Favored
The Rensselaer team had been
favored to win as they had beaten
Milne once before this season; how-
ever, they could not stave off the
victory surge of the refreshed Milne
organization. Hal Game and Morty
Swartz tied for high scoring honors
ringing up 12 points apiece for the
Milne team. Rensselaer high men
were Harrigan and Scofield with 5
and 3 points, respectively, who
played a fine game.
Culp Plays
Harry Culp saw action in spite of
a sore foot and played very well.
The C, and W. boys kept the lead
throughout the game, but had to
play hard to keep it.
This game was quite a feather in
Milne’s cap. The last game they
played with Rensselaer, the score
was 29 to 27, with Rensselaer com-
ing out on top.
The J.V. game proved very excit-
ing as the Rensselaer five had a
small lead until the last half, when
the Milne Juniors rallied and suc-
ceeded in sinking enough baskets
to win the contest.
Meulick High Man
Meulick high scored for the Milne
JV, and Dominski for the hard-
fighting Rensselaer feam.
‘The Frosh also played, with the
Milne first year boys tipping the
victory scales to the tune of 12 to 18.
The Milne school was very suc-
cessful in all the games played, but
not so successful in the number of
spectators who turned out to cheer
their team on to victory.

Crimson Tide to
Battle Falcons
Tomorrow evening the Milne bas-
ketball team faces the very strong
Philip Schuyler Falcons. It is the
second game of the year with
Schuyler. The game will he played
on the Page Hall court.
Schuyler has a strong offensive
team which has won its last fourteen
consecutive games, while Milne has
won its last four games. Schuyler
is the favorite in the contest.
Only two Milne teams will be
playing this week, the Frosh at 6:00,
followed by the Junior Varsity and
the Varsity. The Junior Varsity
game will start at 7:30, and wiil
be followed by the Varsity game.
The probable lineup for Milne
Game and Edick at the forward
posts, DeMoss at center and Culp
and Swartz, guards.
The Schuyler Falcons will most
likely start off with Bruda, the sen-
sational captain of the Falcon team.
In the last game Bruda came down
to the Milne locker room to compli-
ment our boys on their playilng;
Jim Carr, Schuyler’s formidable
Negro player. This boy is one of
th e cleanest players you will have
a chance to see on a_ basketball
court; Simon, left forward of the
Falcon quintet. This boy is not an
outstanding player, but he is the
type that holds the team together;
Lombardi and Ryan, both excellent
guards.

ing well and seem confident that
they will give Schuyler a run for
their money.
Coach Grogan has been practicing
with the team. He seems to be in
pretty good shape himsel. It might
be interesting to put the coach in
in the third quarter and see how
the score results. Hal Game has
been doing well in practice in spite
of his bad knee.
In the last game with Schuyler,
Milne came out on the short end of
a 36-27 score.
Milne Hi-Y Conducts
Business Meeting
Milne Hi-Y members attended a
very short meeting last Wednesday
night. After the meeting the boys
went to the Palace theater.
It is probable that the Hi-Y dance
will be held April 16. They will
present the carnival a week after
the last basketball game. As soon.
as all the dues are paid, Milne H-Y
will be enrolled in the national
Hi-Y.
Hi-Y lost ten centS on the cor

The basketball playday, which
took place last Saturday, was a big
success, The girls played games
during the morning. During their
playing, the coaches from each
school judged the ability of each
player. The coaches chose two
All-Star teams. One was a junior
team and one a senior team. The
junior team played the first half of
the All-Star vs Coaches game, while
the senior team went in for the
last half. The forwards for the
senior team were: Ketler, Milne;
Wiswall, A.A.G.; Wright, Milne;
Willard, St. Agnes’ substitute. An-
drews, A.A.G.; Brown, Columbia;
Boyd, St. Agnes; and Young, A.A.G.,
|sub, made up the senior guards.
Junior All-Stars
The junior team had Edmundson,
St. Agnes; Newhoff, A.A.G.; Levit,
Columbia; and Phillips, Columbia,
sub, for their forwards. The guards
were Peterson, Milne; Fenster, St.
Agnes; Buik, Columbia, and French,
Milne, substitute. The coaches play-
ing were Arnold, Cosgrove, Pills-
bury, forwards, with Campbell, Best
and Ogden, guards. Miss Hitchcock
refereed the All-Stars vs Coaches’
game. The coaches came out on
top with the score of 25 to 11.
Sponsor Playday
|- Miss Hitchcock is considering
sponsoring an officiating playday.
Girls from area schools who are
interested in earning a refereeing
|rating would be welcomed. The
girls would play basketball among
themselves and practice refereeing.
| There would be a number of coaches
present who would act as judges.
How does this idea sound? Speak
to Miss Hitchcock, if you are inter-
ested.

Eight Graders
Purchase Books
The eighth graders of Milne
school have recently bought a large
number of books, for the library.
Forty-eight of these are already in
the library. Four more are in the
process of being catalogued and
others are on order. The money
for these books came from the
funds of the eighth grade English
hook money.
The books are on a reserve shelf
at present and are for the exclusive
use of the eighth graders. When
they are no longer used by them,
they will be put in with the gen-
eral library collection, The group
includes the newest and best of
juvenile fiction now on the market.
It includes some best sellers and
some, non-fiction,
The eighth grade-book committee
worked on the idea and brought
it back to the English classes where
it was voted upon. The students
decided to buy as many books for
the money as possible. All of the
eighth graders and student teachers
gave suggestions. Miss Mabel Jack-
man, librarian, and Mr. James
Cochran, supervisor of English,
helped the students. They used a
supplement of the Saturday Review
of Literature and a pamphlet, Leis-
ure Reading, published by the Na-
tional Council of Teachers of Eng-
lish for help in selecting the books.
The library is taking care of loan-
ing the books and cataloguing them.
The idea was conceived by the
English department, The students
in the eighth grade class li very
well. The Junior class is also work
ing along the same line and it is
expected that they will have a
group of books in the library in the
near future.

Band Briefs
—By Art DeMoss
For lack of anything better to
comment on at the eleventh hour,
we've decided this week to give
some of our preferences in the line
of various type bands, but expect
few readers to agree with us.
To start with, our list would
include Benny Goodman, Harry
James, and Tommy Dorsey for good
dance music with a little kick sup-
plied in the form of outstanding
solos, although T.D. now has neither
Buddy Rich nor Ziggy Elman. For
rhythm our choice would lie be-
tween Charlie Barnet and Count
Basie, Jack Teagarden’s outfit would
be selected for the blues, and Harry
James’ for leader-solos, with Krupa
and Goodman close behind. Jimmie
Lunceford’s band is tops for wild
driving jazz with no punches pulled
and also has one of the best, if not
the best, brass sections in the coun-
try. For boogie-woogie music, no
one can approach Will Bradley-Ray
McKinley, Inc., although very little
is now left of the original band.
Tops in showmanship is Kay Kyser’s
crew, while other favorites are
Woody Herman, Lucky Millinder,
Andy Kirk, and Cab Calloway.
We realize that this list will pro-
voke complaints from the followers
of Glenn Miller, Jimmie Dorsey, and
other popular name bands, but that
can’t be helped. Any followers of
Guy Limbardo and his “schmaltz |
senders,” Wayne King, Sammy |
Kaye, Lawrence Welk, or other
“Mickey Mouse” bands shouldn’t be
reading this column in the first
place.
| Papa,”
Ex-Bands
To add to your list of ex-bands—
Ray McKinley, Ted Weems, and Bob |
Crosby. Ray, recently split from |
Will Bradley, disbanded his own
organization in order to enter one
of the armed services, while a good
part of the Weems’ band is now in
the Merchant Marines.
Most important, however, is the
breaking up of Bob Crosby's outfit
after seven years together. Crosby's
band has included such stars as Jess
Stacy, Eddie Miller, Ray Bauduc,
and Bob Haggart, all among the top
in their respective divisions. As an
example of something solid by this
outfit, listen to “The Big Noise from
Winnetka” backed by “Honky Tonk
rain.” The cause of the disband-
ing was a very lucrative M.G.M.
contract which Bob received and
hated to turn down,
New Records
Two new dises scheduled for ri
lease this week are Harry James
“Velvet Moon” with “Prince Charm-
ing” on the reverse and Kay Kyser's
“Touch of Texas,” which has been
recorded only by Freddie Martin up
till now. Both James’ tunes are
instrumentals; “Velvet Moon” in
particular is beautifully done and
very danceable. This and the Kyser
record should soar to the top of the
best-seller list in a very short time.
Lucky Millinder fans, of which
there are many, are no doubt glad
to hear that he will be appearing
in person at the Palace during the
first week of March. This band has
gained terrific popularity in some
sections of the country, principally
through its recordings of such num-
bers as “I Want a Tall Skinny
“Rock Daniel,” and “That's
All” The latter, in the spiritual
vein, beats “Amen,’ “The Spirits Got
Me,” and “The Devil Sat Down and
Cried” by a good deal.
Appearing on the stage with Mil-
linder will be the Ink Spots.
Incidentally, if any interest is
shown, this column would like to
conduct a student poll to determine
Milne’s chcices for the top bands
and soloists in various divisions.
This would also give us a clue as to
what bands and records Milne stu-
dents are interested in reading
about.
