ON WITH THE NEW
It's a wonderful world if you don’t have
anything to do, but some people have dis-
covered that the universe is even more wonder-
ful if you keep busy. So, your Crimson and
White staff finds a new year ahead in which
we'll be kept more than busy, putting out your
paper the way you want it. It's not going to
be an easy job to keep up the high standards
and traditions that have always distinguished
the Crimson and White, but we'll do our best.
Plenty of mistakes will be made and lots of
times you'll wonder how such things can be
overlooked, but just bear with us and don't
forget that this is being put out by you Mil-
nites, for you to read and enjoy. We'll wel-
come suggestions, and if you have a pet peeve
about anything, let us know and we'll see what
we can do about it. It's your paper—here’s
to the Crimson and White.

HISTORY OF THE MILNE GUIDANCE PROGRAM
The department was organized ,in 1935 with Miss
a ret Hayes as the Director. it works very close-
ly with the college program of guidance under the
chairmanship of Dr. J. Allan Hicks.
The major activities of the guidance office at present
are: individual counselling about educational, voca-
tional, and personal problems; direction of social activ-
ities, student council, and club work; the develop-
ment and care of the cumulative records; and train-
ing of prospective teachers in case wor
The guidance office will make i’ possible to give
pupils better vocational guidance while they are in
the Milne School through group and individual pro-
cedures; and to help graduating siudents to find jobs.
Continued assistance could also be given former
students.

Ah ves, spring is here and a young man’s fancy
turns to—baseball. In fact, the entire population of
Milne seems to move to Ridgefield to see the games
after school.
Everyone likes to do to a dance! Mary Alice Leete,
Tom Eldridge; Carol McGrath, Bill Hayes; Carolyn
Jor, Fd Bigley; Gloria Edwards, B, J. Thomson:
Marlene Cooper, B»b Leslie; and Gifford Barry had
‘a great'time at the St. ‘Andrew’s Fellowship Dance.
Rosie Kotzin and Marcia Cohn were seen at the
ABG Fraternity dance, while Nancy Schonbrun and
Adrienne Gewirtzman attended the Mu Sigma dance.
Mona Bloomberg and Ray Cairns went to the Guidon

Joan Sternfield really went to town on her thirteenth
birthday, when she entertained thirty-eight of her
in her father’s studio.
Anne Corlough, George Erwin, Sue Pelletier, and
Dick Eldridge went to the Albany Country Club for
dinner, then to a show, and later to Nancy Simmons’
open house. And what an open house! “Sammy”
couldn't count the kids that came in and out, but
everyone had a wun’erful time.
While wandering around Thompson's Lake, we

we don’t doubt the integrity of their word—Ed Wilson,

they flew to Alaska. Didn't anybody go to Brazil? —

BOB ABERNETHY
A good leader who assumes re-
sponsibilities quickly and well, these
are a few carefully chosen adjec-
tives with which we describe the
handsome, ex-editor-in-chief of the
Crimson and White, Bob Abernethy.
Bob began his eventful life on
July 20, 1930 but was first brought
into Milne limelight shortly after
his entrance into the seventh grade,
six years ago. He has held home-
room offices since the seventh grade
and this year has been captain of
Milne’s new Rifle Club, secretary of
Hi-Y, Tennis Manager, chairman of
the Alumni Ball Committee, and the
all important job of editor-in-chief
of the Crimson and White,
One of the top seven of his cla
Bob has had the honor of winning
one of the N.R.O.T.C. scholarship:
R.P.I. is Bob’s present goal, where
he'll study to be a Civil Engineer.
It is only natural that Bob should
have definite likes and dislikes, bu
when confronted, it seemed hard for
him to pick out certain ones. He
does, however, strongly dislike
cheese, bangs (on gir
French, green and illogical people.
The color blue, spaghetti, logical
people, and money are some of
Bob's foremost likings.
MARY-JANE FISKE
During her years at Milne, Mary-
Jane Fiske has proven herself’ a
very versatile girl. Besides being
active in the music and
education departments, she a
member of the class ring committee,
vice-president of her homeroom
during her junior year, student
council representative, and treas-
urer of Quintillian Liberary Society.
This year she worked diligently to
make the card party a success,
and distinguished herself by her
portrayal of Ruth in the senior class
play, “Dear Ruth.”
Mary-Jane has served on both
the Bricks and Ivy and the Crimson
and White, working as news editor
of the latter this year.
She confides that she dislikes
cheese, adores red shoes, and has
a great desire to “come up in life.”
Mary-Jane just can’t stand people
who don’t keep up with their bills;
she also states that she may start
a garden completely of weeds!
Mary-Jane plans to enter Welles-
ley College in the fall where she
will prepare for a course in law.

Milne Team Victorious
In Season’s First Game
Farnan Hurls No-Hitter
Despite Faulty Fielding
Spurred on by the superlative
no-hit pitching of righthander Bill
Farnan, the Milne Red Raiders
opened their 1948 baseball campaign
with a victory over New Lebanon
at Ridgefield Park. Coming from
behind in the late innings Milne
managed to eke out a 3-2 decision.
New Lebanon began the scoring
in their half of the first. inning
when Ames drew one of Farnan’s
six free passes, stole second and
wound up at third base as Dick
Bauer’s attempted throw to catch
the runner rolled into center field.
Don Talbot, who backed up the
play, allowed the ball to trickle
through him, permitting an extra
base to Ames. He scored on third
baseman George Balll’s bobble on
Delano’s ground ball.
The visitors pushed across their
second run in the third running.
Hasson, the first batter, strolled and
stole second. On Bauer’s second
overthrow, Hasson continued to
third base. Talbot fielded the ball
in short center and heaved it over
Ball’s head at third, Hasson scoring
New Lebanon’s final run.
Milne Rallies
The Raiders finally found them-
selves in the fourth. With one out,
Don Miller came through with a
long single to left center, advanced
to second on James’ balk. He
tramped home on Ball’s single to
right.
Milne knotted the count at two-
all in the sixth as Art Walker
walked, stole second, and scored the
tying marker on Clayton Besch’s
sharp hit to right. Besch advanced
to second on the throw into the
plate, but was stranded as the next
two batsmen were retired.
After disposing of the firs! two
batters in the seventh, Farnan issued
his sixth walk to Ed James, New
Lebanon's catcher, James promptly
pilfered second base. Farnan, who
was at his best with opposing base-
runners, quickly tightened up and
got Hasson to watch a called third
strike.
Farnan is Own Cause
The climax resulted with Farnan
leading off in the bottom half of
the seventh. He received the second
walk rendered by New Lebanon's
hurler, John James. Incidently,
Milne’s second run was scored by
virtue of the other walk. Bauer,
the next batsman, was out as he
stepped on home plate while swing-
ing on an outside pitch. However,
Ed Lux connected for a one-base
knock over the shortstop’s out-
stretched glove, Farnan racing all
the way to third. With only one
out, Milne’s strategy was successful
as Ed Segel placed a squeeze bunt
between James and the first base-
man Delano. Neither could make
any play on Farnan, dashing in
from third to dent the plate with
the decisive run.
Aided by clutch hitting from his
teammates, Farnan faced only 27
batsmen in accomplishing his bril-
liant no-hitter. He whiffed seven
while passing six.
Raiders Lose
7-0 Verdict |
In its second encounter of the
season, Milne dropped a 7-0 verdict
to Christian Brothers Academy at
Ridgefield Park mainly due to the
effective one-hit pitching of Ed
O'Connor, C.B.A. moundsman, and
the seven errors committed by the
Milne infield.
Reaching Milne’s flinger, Don
Miller, for six hits including three
doubles, C.B.A. bunched two of
those hits with two misplays by
third baseman George Ball for three
markers in the first inning.
Three Run Lead
Wagner doubled down the right
field line. Fiacco reached first on
an error by Ball, sending Wagner
to third. Pitts also got on via Ball's
second error of the inning, Wagner
scoring and Fiacco taking third.
Pitts stole second and scored behind
Fiacco on Brantigan’s long clout to
center which was good for two
bases.
The Brothers tallied once again
in the third when Pitts strolled,
stole second-and went to third on
a passed ball. When Brantigan
bounced a slow roller to Miller
on the mound Pitts tried to score,
but failed as Dick Bauer received
the throw from Miller in plenty of
time. With Brantigan on _ first,
Tunny got a life on base on Ball’s
third miscue. Carroll's single to
right counted Brantigan with
C.B.A’s fourth run, but Tunny was
nabbed as he overran second. The
throw coming from Bill Farnan in
a right to Ed Segel in the cutoff
who relayed the ball to Art Walker
for the out. McNamara fanned to
end the rally. Milne stranded two
men on the base paths in their half.
Errors Aid Tallies
The winners picked up another in
the fourth to make the score 5-0.
Taranto was safe on Walker's bad
peg, stole second and scored as
O'Connor singled.
After Brantigan grounded out to
open the seventh, Tunny was hit
by one of Miller’s pitches. Carroll
came through with a double, scoring
Tunny and moved to third as the
throw-in bounced away from Ed
Segel for an error. He scored on
Taranto’s long hoist to Bill Farnan
in right.
The Red Raiders gathered their
enly hit in their last turn at bat.
Miller opened the seventh frame
with a base by virtue of first base-
man Carroll’s mis
Clayton Besch lined a si
the second sacker Fiacco into right,
Miller taking second. Ball struck
out and Talbot wound up the pro-
gle past

Track, Tennis
| Outlook Bright;
Vets Respond
The track and tennis teams have
commenced their spring practice
and although they have been great-
ly handicapped by adverse weather
the season's outlook is bright. These
two squads are Milne’s minor spring
sports, but they show much promis-
ing material.
Again this year, the netmen will
be coached by Mr, Bert Fink,
supervisor in Social Studies, while
the trackmen will be coached by
Mr. Robert Lynch. Mr. Lynch is
a student teacher at State College
and was a physics teacher at Milne
last semester.
Veierans Return
Final cuts for the tennis team will
be made in a few days, thus reduc-
ing the squad to eight men. Among
the veterans trying out are Ben
Mendel, Dick Eldridge, Norman
Stumpf, and Don Meserve. This
seascn there will be six matches;
three on the home courts, at Ridge-
field, and three away.
When asked about
this year’s
team Mr. Fink stated, “We have a
stronger team than last year, there
is much greater interest being
shown, it’s lots of fun, and we hope
to win a few matches.”
The home ground of the track
team is Bleeker Stadium. There are
high hopes for a successful track
season it the weather enables con-
stant practice from now on.
Track Positions Open
Lew Carr and Lloyd Schonbrun
are the veterans who have partici
pated in this sport since its origin
three years ago.
Newcomers will vie for various
events with Ronald Vanderburgh
Roeliff Jennex, Charles Suter,
Ernest Whitfield, Bert Sackman
fighting for sprinting chores. Com-
peting in the mile, half mile and
440 yard dash are Ed Butler, Bob
Clarke, Lee Dennis, and Dick Rey-
nolds. Prospective candidates seek-
ing broad and high jumping posi-
tions are Paul Hubbs, Bernard
Campbell and Ray Malthouse.
The field chores (shot put and
discus) will be handled by John
Powell, Charles McNutt, Jim Gould
Leon Feinburg, in addition to Carr
When asked about the ensuing
track campaign, Mr. Lynch re-
marked, “The team shapes up pretty
well, but there is not any depth.”

Dancing Offered in Gym Classes
The strange antics seen in the
girls’ gym classes are merely the
course on modern dancing, directed
by the new gym assistant, Miss
Frimet. Most cla: have al-
ready perfected the dance called
“Dorothy.” Marks for the next re-
port card will be based on dancing.
Modern dancing will also be offered
on Mondays after school for the
senior high starting May 3. While
the senior high girls are becoming
graceful, the junior high girls are
experimenting with different folk
dances. These are also being off-
ered after school every Tuesday
afternoon.
Softballs have been flying since
the girls have taken over the field,
The results are bent fingers and

Many girls, it appears will be
found beside a stream trying their

and reels, has been used constantly
ever since their arrival for practice
in bait casting. Judy Horton, '50,
holds the honors by casting three-
fourths of the way across the field.

World Problems
At Columbia High
Eight juniors represented Milne at
the “Inter-School Conference On
World Affairs” held at the East
Greenbush Central High School on
April 23. Approximately 310 stu~
dents from 19 area schools discussed
current world issues, airing their
opinions.
After a review of the world situa-
sion and the background of today’s
current news by Dr. Watt Stewart,
chairman of the Social Studies De-
partment at State, the delegations
broke up and went to the various
discussion groups. Joan Horton,
Lee Dennis, and David Siegal went
to the panel on U. S. Foreign
Policy, while Hans Krahmer and
Jim Panton were in the discussion
‘on “Russia and the U.S.A.” Marilyn

Italian riick
Sends Paintings
To Dr. Taylor
Milne’s second floor library ex-
hibit holds an unusual story of an
Italian artist and sculptor, Renzo
Baraldi.
Dr. Wallace Taylor, social studies
supervisor, became friends with Mr,
Baraldi during World War Il, while
in Europe. Upon his return to the
United States Dr. Taylor wrote to
Mr. Baraldi asking him to send over
some of his paintings. The artist
complied with Dr. Taylor's request
and sent over the paintings now on
exhibit.
Dr. Taylor thought that anyone
greatly interested in the pictures
exhibited might send Mr. Baraldi
packages of tood and clothing be-
cause of the extreme scarcity of
these articles in Europe today.
Some of the facts of the artist's
life are: Renzo Baraldi was born
in Capri, Italy, and studied sculp-
cure and painting at the Academy of
Fine Arts in Florence. He was
imprisoned for anti-fascism during
the early part of the second World
War, escaping in the uprising that
overthrew Mussolini in June of 1944.
At present he is an instructor in
sculpture at the Academy of Fine
Arts in Florence.
The two men became acquainted
when Mr. Baraldi was instructing
sculpturing and painting at a
YMCA. Dr. Taylor found him quite
a fascinating person in spite of the
fact that the two men knew very
little of each other's languages.

Reporter
By “C.B.” and “JEFF”
Do you think we should have a
plaque for our war memorial, and
if so where should we place it?
Charles MeNutt: “A plaque is a
good idea, I think it should be
erected in the hall by the main
offices.”
Roxanna Reynolds: “I'd like to see
the plaque placed between the trees
on the front field.”
Bill Wade: “No, I don’t think we
should have a plaque. There isn’t
any good location for it on the
campus.”
Joyce Hilleboe: “Yes, we should
definitely have one and it should
be put up above the clock in front
of Page Hall.”
Doris Metzner: “Yes, in the plot
of land between the Page Hall steps,
and the exit of the girls locker
room.”
Lois Tewell: “We should have a
plaque. A good place for it would
be on the ground below Dr. Fisk's
window.”
Nancy Simmons: “I don’t like the
idea. I think we can find some-
thing better that will mean more
for the Milne people.”
Bill Hayes: “Yes. A good position
would be to have it on the wall in
the main hall, near the guidance
office.”
Janet Hicks: “By all means a
plaque. It should go in Mrs. Scully’s
office.”
Malcolm Haggerty: “If we have a
plaque, it should go out on the play-
ing field among the trees.”
Bert Sackman: “Yes, it could be
engraved on that blank slate above
the large clock on the Page Hall
tower.”
“We should have a
like to see it down
on the wall near the main offices.”
Bill Smith: “I don’t think a plaque
is right and if we do want to put
one up, the State College should
take care of doing it. We should
have instead, some sort of living
memorial.”
Mary Fullock: “Yes, I think it
should be erected in the library
around the librarian’s desk.”
. Don Leslie: “It’s a good idea. We
should put it where the sidewalks
meet near the Page Hall steps.”
Nancy Go “We should cer-
tainly have a plaque. It would look
nice beneath Dr. Fisk’s window in
the flower bed.”
Alice Cohen: “Our war memor
plaque ought to go somewhere in
the hall on the first floor.”
Greg Angier: “Sure we should
have a plaque and it ought to go on
the field between the trees, after all
that’s what they were planted for,
sn’t it?”
