Ten-minute class sessions for parents, during whi¢h teachers told

In previous years, parents stood in line to meet each teacher indi-
vidually. Many parents did not get to see all the teachers of their children
because of the lines. Under this new system, parents were able to hear
from all of the instructors.
At the conclusion of the evening, parents filled out evaluation sheets

Regression ?
Last year the student body amended the
Constitution to unite the Junior and Senior
Student Councils. The members of both Coun-
cils approved the change because the con-
solidation of the student councils was meant
to overcome the stagnation of the junior high,
and to give all the students an opportunity
to participate in the Milne Senior Student
Council, which represents more responsibility
and power and more activity than most stu-
dent councils in this area.
The actual form of the re-unification plan,
however, varies greatly from this original idea.
Artificial and totally unnecessary restrictions
were placed on the junior high for no appar-
ent reason. Whereas the seventh and eighth
grades were once ‘‘competent’’ enough to elect
their Junior Council officers, they suddenly
become irresponsible children who aren‘t old
enough to decide who should govern their
unified council. The hopes of rescuing the
junior high from inactivity vanished when it
was decided that they should have no yote in
council, except in financial affairs and mat-
ters left up to the President's discretion. Their
representatives would be on the council for
the sole purpose of making up a Junior High
Social Committee—to plan junior high record
hops!
This is a new year, a new council, and there
is a new opportunity to amend the Constitu-
tion to give all six grades equal representa-
tion. If we fail to change the status of the
junior high in this school, the unification of
the council will have been a meaningless and
useless step backward, —S.B.

| A Great Race
You walk up the stairs, and slow-
ly enter Page Hall. You have offi-
cially begun your senior year, and
from this moment on nothing is
“slowly.” This year will be, for
you, one wild carousel ride.
A typical senior specimen starts
out cheerfully determined to suc-
ceed, and ends up in utter con-
fusion. Applications to colleges are
submitted; either you're accepted or
not, and anyway, who cares? You're
too tired!
Only one thought keeps you go-
ing: the thought of senior rights and
privileges. Of course you are too
nice to actually make use of your
“divine right of seniors” on those
younger “children.” Besides, you're
too busy to bother—you have so
many important meetings that you
are rushing here, there, and abso-
lutely nowhere!
There is no doubt about it; the
senior, year is the »most chaotic
bedlam ‘ever invented by man, It
is also the most rewarding (the
lower-classmen hate you forever),
the most stimulating (I was NOT
yawning), and the most tiring (I
could have danced all night, and I
did!) year that anyone goes through.
However, it is rarely fatal—the
junior year took care of that!

Soap Box
ast year, an amendment to the Milne Constitution
was passed by the student body which combined the
junior and senior student councils, This year, many
varied reactions have resulted.
The most violerit and verbal reactions came from
the ninth graders. Of those questioned, most of them
had voted for the amendment under the impression
that they would be given complete senior high status,
including admission to clubs and dances. Evidently.
this has not come about and the ninth graders are
concerned and angry.
However, in the rest of the senior high, most of
those asked did not want the ninth grade as members
of senior high clubs; particularly mentioned were the
literary societies, The four year gap between fresh-
men and seniors was also brought out.
There seemed to be a lack of information at the
seventh and eighth grade level. Many did not realize
that they lacked equal rights, but most felt that they
deserved them. Some complained about the lack of
information coming back to them from the student
council meetings. One eighth grade girl remarked,
“At least in Junior Student Council we had a vote
and could speak at the meetings; now it’s completely
run by the senior high.”
Those of the opinion that equal rights should be
extended to all brought out the idea that everyone
is a member of the student community and deserves a
say in how he is governed.
One student suggested a vote for the eighth grade
but not the seventh, on the basis that a year at Milne
would make them better informed.
The idea of the president deciding what issues
concern these classes was also disputed,
Going back to two councils was suggested by one
faculty member. It was felt that Junior Student
Council was an important training ground, and mean~
ingful to the junior high. Another teacher mentioned
that closer advisor supervision might aid the effective-
ness of the Junior Student Council if it were rein-
stated. —S.H.

Injuries Plague Raiders
The injury nemesis has severely hampered Milne’s cross
country team’s bid for success. Two of the top five runners
have missed most of the season because of ailments. Co-
captain Bill Wachsman was out for three weeks with a bone
injury and Reid Golden missed four weeks after suffering torn
muscles and ligaments. The Profs have garnered several
victories, mainly through strong efforts by co-captains Tim
McNally and sophomore Louis Ouellette. The team hopes that
the return of Wachsman and Golden will tighten up the scoring

Question: Do you believe the lack |Mar. 3 Maple Hill Home
of varsity experience will hurt the
team?
Answer: No. We have four boys
returning with varsity experience.
This is a much healthier situation
than a year ago. It is a big jump
from junior varsity to varsity and
we will have some boys who will
have to make this change. How-
ever, we have enough experienced
varsity boys returning so that the
newer boys will be able to adjust
gradually.
Question: Last year’s team played
“run and shoot” basketball with an|
inconsistent defense. Do you think}
this year’s team will play a similar
brand of ball, either through choice
or necessity? |
Answer: Last year's team was the
best shooting team I ever coached.
However, we were weak defensively
at one or two positions and we did
not rebound well. We will defi-
nitely be a running team this year
if we can out-rebound the opposi-
tion. However, if we can't re-
bound well, we will have to slow
down the tempo of the game.
Question: What do you think will
be the greatest effects of the pre-
season training?
Answer: Our team will be physi-
cally stronger. This means we will
jump better, run longer, hold on
to the ball better, and (it) should
help our endurance.
Additional comments: “There is
no doubt in my mind that this is
a better team than last year’s team.
However, we will be up against
some teams which are also im-
proved. Also, last year’s J.V. team’s
17-1 record does not mean a thing
toward the success or failure of this
year’s team. The caliber of play at
the varsity level is much more ad-
vanced. Most J.V. players need
two years to make the adjustment.

While the varsity cross country
team is gathering trophies today,
the Junior High team is eyeing the
trophies of tomorrow, Led by
Mark Landau and Pete DeLong, the
young harriers have compiled a
3-2-1 record.
Close behind Landau and De-
Long are Rich Schorr, Gary Els-
worth, Chris Barker, Bob Gerber,
Howie H. Lavine, Bob Dorkin, and
Wayne Elsworth. These boys have
been running since school opened,
and their efforts are paying off.
In their first meet of the season,
Milne’s junior high runners faced
the Voorheesville Blackbirds. Run-
ning with excellent balance (only
27 seconds elapsed between Milne’s
first and fifth finishers), the Fu-
ture Profs squeezed past the ‘Birds,

A strong running contingent from
Shaker handed the junior high team
its first setback. The Blue Bisons,
|by taking the first five places, shut
out Milne, 15-40.
The minor Milnites next chal-
lenged LaSalle and Catholic Cen-
trol. The Raiders captured first
place as Landau, DeLong, and
Schorr were Ist, 3rd, and 4th re-
spectively.

of a boy his age, Tim enjoys myth-
|clogy. Perhaps this interest stems
from the fact that he employs it in
explaining where his homework is.
This is not to imply that Tim is
not as mentally active as he is phys-
ically—far from it. (But perhaps not
too far.)

Albany.
By providing modern, centrally
located office space for numerous
state agencies now scattered
throughout Albany, the South Mall
project will establish an environ-
ment for the state.government to
meet the needs of today’s popula-
tion and to plan for future develop-
ment. i
The Mall project is based on a
master plan for Albany develop-
ment by the Temporary State Com-
mission on the Capital City. It will
integrate the familiar center of
state government on Capitol Hill—
the Capitol, the Court of Appeals
Hall, the Education Building, and
the Alfred E. Smith Office Building
—into a new, larger comples
In addition to state offices, it will
include walks, gardens, pools, large
underground parking areas, facil-
ities for public gatherings and cul-
tural attractions, and other features.
New low-cost housing is included
in the plan, replacing old and de-
teriorating buildings.
Governor Rockefeller remarked,
“There is nothing in the laws of
nature of man to require that a
state which is big and vital and
productive must also be mundane
and ugly. On the contrary, the very
size, complexity, and vitality of
New York State equip us more than |
most to meet the challenge of match- |
ing productivity with grace, of pre-
serving diversity while
distinction.”
To quote a fellow member of the
cross-country team, “Too much rest
It appears that Tim follows
these words well.
Steve Canyon at Milne
In Richardson 180, there is a
-asiel drawing of a man with a
benign smile and talking eyes, the
hero of millions from the syndicated
comic strips, “Steve Canyon,” the
creation of Milton Caniff. '
How did it come to Richardson?
In the year 1951, as in every year,
the Empire State School Press Asso-
ciation held its annual fall confer-
ence in Syracuse. Among the prin-
cipal speakers was Milton Caniff,
renowned artist and author of the
comic strip “Steve Canyon.” Dr.

Master Plan
Opening southward from the
Capitol will be a landscaped mall
with reflecting pools and fountains,
lawns and formal trees. The plat-
form, bridging the valley between
State Street and Madison Avenue,
is the base for five large office
buildings and a meeting center, de-
signed as widely spaced vertical
structures (see illustration). The
open landscape will provide beauty
and a place for relaxation for the
people who will live and work in
the Mall area. A skating rink and
playgrounds offer year-round rec-
veation for young people.
The Cultural Center, still in pre-
liminary planning, will be located
across Madison Avenue and will
house an enlarged state museum
and science service, history and
archives center, and the library as
well as an outdoor amphitheatre for
cultural and public events.
The main concourse, to be located
under the platform, will include
such facilities as a meeting center,
shops, post office, and bus terminal.

| James Cochrane, faithful advisor for
the Crimson and White that year,
attended the conference with rep-
resentatives from Milne. Through
the ingenuity and finesse as befits
only a Milne faculty member, seats
near the dias were readily avail-
able for our representatives.
Milne students will soon find that
coordination and ready reflexes are
to their advantage, as did the stu-
dents, of 51 as they beat 600 other
eager students to the platform to
capture the pastel drawing of Steve

hung in contrast with the literary
