Kenney Interviews
Senior Boys On
Draft Status
Discusses War Problems
With Those Already 18
Dr. Ralph Kenney, supervisor of
guidance, has been interviewing
Milne’s eighteen year old boys for
the past two weeks, helping them to
solve the many problems arising
from the new draft bill recently
passed by Congress. These boys
are now receiving their papers from
their draft boards, Dr. Ken-
ney is helping them to fill these out.
The extension of selective service
to 18 and 19 year olds has changed
the plans of many seniors. Some
plan to enter: college in July in-
stead of September, in order to
receive as much additional train-
ing as possible before they are call-
ed. Still others are speeding up
their courses, and will try to gradu-
ate in January in order
college in February
Seven Boys
“Tt is still doubtful whether this
will be possible,” said Dr. Kenney,
“but it would be highly desirable
in certain cases.”

June, There are seven such boys
in Milne, according to guidance
office record: Any attempt to
shorten their courses will have to
pass Regents examinations, and must
have the necessary units to gradu-
ate.
Very shortly, Dr. Kenney will
begin talks with juniors who may
possibly be affected later by the
draft.
“It may be advisable for some of
them to attend summer school ses:
sions in order to complete their
high school work by their eighteenth
birthday.” he said.
Diplomas Are i
Dr. Kenney thinks it is important
for all students to obtain high
school diplomas. Several special-
ized branches of the armed services
require high school diplomas for
entrani
‘It is also important,” he stated, |this year in placing applications for
“for those who can to go on to col-
lege and receive additional train-
ing, especially in the fields of
medicine and engineering. These
people will be of great value to
their country when they are called
to service or in post war years.”
Many Milnites are already sery-
ing in the armed forces. Recently,
William Parr, 44, joined the United
States Merchant Marine. Some of

Faculty, Pupils
To Commemorate
Pearl Harbor
Milne students, and. faculty will
meet in a joint assembly on Decem-
ber 7, at 10:00 a. m., to commemorate
the niversary of the attack
on Pearl Harbor, and the entrance
of the United States into World
War II.
The Milne band will open the
program with the playing of the
“Star Spangled Banner.” Dr. Fred-
erick will then talk to the students

Arden Flint, 44, chairman of the
Victory Corps, will explain the
qualifications for membership into
this organization,
Richard Bates, '43, president of
Student Council, will tell the stu-
dents about Milne’s part in the
Albany Student War Council, of
which he is president.
A talk on the Junior American
Women's Voluntary Service will be
given by Mary Ogden, '46.
Faculty Members to Speak
For the second part of the pro-
|gram, several members of the
faculty will address the assembly
on ways in which the Milne school
equips students for war activities.
ey are Miss Elizabeth Shaver,
supervisor of history, Dr. Daniel
Snader, supervisor of mathematics,
Dr. Carleton A. Moose, supervisor of
science, and Mr, Harry Grogan and
|Miss Margaret Hitchcock, instructors
of physical education,
The program will be concluded by
the singing of “Praise the Lord and
Pass the Ammunition” and “White
Christmas,” and another selection by
the band,
the senior boys are thinking serious-
lly of joining the Coast Guard.
In previous years, about two-
thirds of the graduating class has
gone on to college, and Dr. Kenney
does not think that the percentage
will be greatly affected this year
by the war. However, many boys
will probably join one of the en-
listed reserve programs when they
enter college.
The girls are ahead of the boys
entrance in colleges. Those already
|listed in the guidance office are:
|Natalie Mann, Smith and Vassar;
|Doris Spector, Cornell and Russell
\Sage; Melba Levine, Smith and
Wellesley; Miriam Steinhardt, Vas-
sar and Wellesley; Ruth Taylor,
Oberlin
Dr, Kenny suggests that seniors
wishing to attend college make their
applications early.
Submits Report
Cafeteria Mente to Differ;
Annex Will Have Tables
The student-faculty report in re~
gard to the operation of the Annex
and Cafeteria, made by a committee
appointed by Dr, John M. Sayles,
was submitted to Dr. Sayles with
less than a month of conference.
The first consideration was the
criticisms pointing to the unattrac-
of the physical surround-
ing, careless preparation of food,
the uniformity of menus, the price
of milk, and the inadequate seating
capacity for the students who must
eat in the Annex, At the second
meeting of the committee a sub-
committee was appointed. Dr,
Robert Rienow, assistant professor
of social studies at State College,
was placed in charge. The purpose
of this sub-committee was to con-
sider and report on practical as-
pects of decreasing the costs and
increasing the quality of the foods.
It was to recommend what should
be done to increase the capacity of
the cafeteria. The report of the
sub-committee has been whole
heartily accepted by the general
committee and is composed of the
following:
1. The menu of the cafeteria be
simplified by (a) eliminating the hot
lunches (b) substituting a hot dish.
2, The sandwiches be improved
and made more appetizing.
3. The drinking of milk be en-
couraged by lowering the price to
five cents.
4, Sandwiches be raised to the
price of ten cents and be made
more appetizing and filling
5. Special accommodations be
found for the students of Milne
school; tables and chairs installed
and the extra rooms
in the annex,
adjoining it also be used as lunch
rooms.
This plan_will
pending Dr. Sayles
be inaugurated,
approval.

pal addressed the Public Education
Section of the Municipal welfare
department of the Woman's club
of Albany on Tuesday, December

be asked to the dance to act as
chaperones. They, in turn, may
invite other members of their re-
spective school faculties.
Richard Bates, president, stated,
“As the number of tickets to be sold
are limited, because of the capacity
of the ballroom, Milne students
should buy their tickets early, so
that our representation at the dance
will compare favorably with the
other schools.”
Student Enlistment Cards
Under the program of the War
Council, student enlistment cards
have been distributed to high school
pupils all over the city. On these
cards, students have recorded what
time they are willing to devote
toward volunteer service.
Sometime in March the council
expects to run a basketball game
‘between two outstanding Albany
jhigh school teams. The proceeds
of this affair will be given to some

Tonight’s the Night!
“Fight, Milne, Fight!” This cry does not mean
only the five boys playing basketball for Milne
on the court, but the other 418 students who
should be at the Hackett Junior High gym. to-
night when the team opens the season against |
Schuyler. This game tonight is one of the most
important on our schedule. We are playing on
an away court against a strong opponent. Last
year Milne lost twice to Schuyler by narrow
margins. This year we want to avenge these
defeats. The team has been practicing long and
hard and under the new coach, have devised
some fast and tricky plays.
Led by Hal Game, high scorer of last year's
varsity, a successful season is in prospect. Once
again the team is being compared to that of
1937. An excellent record must be maintained
to come up to these standards, and the boys will
try their best.
Vhe team will fight hard tonight, but they
like to know that the school is behind them.
Every girl and boy is expected to turn out for
the game. A good showing of school spirit adds
a lot to the name of the school ‘as well as to the
team’s morale.
The Red Cras Doss Their Part
\ Red
Cross Council has been fornied in
Milne. This council is asking the support of
the students. Many plans have been made to
aid the soldiers, and other needy people in our
vicinity. If the students will get back of the Red
Cross, a lot of useful work can be done. People
are always asking how they can help in the war
eflort. If they would take a more active. part
in the Red Cross, they would be doing a great
deal. Join the Red Cross, and help* your
neighbor.
| milne merry-go-round
Turkey day is passed now and the memory of that
plentiful Thanksgiving day feast, complete with tur-
key, mince pies, and sugar is fading rapidly from
our minds, and algebra, history, French and English
are seeping back in .... We are faced with the
realization that report cards are due again so soon
and we wonder how and where all the hours and
hours of vacation were spent, (certainly not studying).
Most of us spent our days sleeping, and our nights
making the rounds . . . Melba Levine had an informal
gathering at her house Wednesday night. Senior
boys and girls there were Marion Mulvey, Miriam
Steinhardt, Lucia Swift, Jane Curtis, Ruth Taylor,
Meg Hunting, June Bailey, Billy Soper, Nicky Mitchell,
wea DeMoss, Dick Bates, Royal Heid, Ed Bookstien,
Mortie Swartz, Harry Culp, Art DeMoss and Jack
Casner. Crashing the party later on were Ruth Welsh
and Harvey Holmes, Aun and Ray Stickney.
Seen dancing at the DeWitt were Bill Parr and
Betty Baskin. Bill is having his last fling before
leaving in the Maritime service. He expects to go
sometime this week. Dick Lawyer, another ex-Milnite
in the employ ‘of Uncle Sam, was home again on
leave. . Most of his time was spent with Marion
+ certainly in demand .. .
Mulvey who still goes for Dick in a big way.
After hearing some of the girls talk about Sche-
nectady and its attractions, the boys decided to visit
there too. Jack Casner, Ed Bookstien, Tom Dyer, and
ortie Swartz made a visit over vacation, For
some reason their dancing seems to have considerably
improved on their return.
Taking in the more respectable phase of the theatre
on Friday night were a group of seniors. They saw
“George Washington Slept Here” and thought it very
funny. Their hangout, Peter's, was well populated
afterward with Ruth Taylor, Dick Bates, Henny
Mulleneaux, Bill Soper, Shirley Atkin, Nicky Mitchell,
June Bailey, Harry Culp, Nancy Eddison, and Ted
DeMoss.
Seme of the kids went away from home for Thanks-
giving. Chuck Cross travelled to Ohio, and Marie
“idwards visited her sister in Syracuse. Lee Arron-
owitz went to New York... . Alan Ely, who is now
attending Syracuse, has joined the Army Air Corps
Reserve.
The boys have been practising nearly every day
for our forthcoming basketball game. They deserve
cur support, so let’s all try to be here to cheer them
in all the games, even away if possible. We open
our season with two tough games this weekend, but
we'll win them if we have the proper spirit... Another
erganization that needs our support is the Red Cross,
which is doing a fine job. They need toys now so
bring all your old toys which aren’t in too bad con-
dition and fill up the cardboard box on the first floor.
They are planning many more projects in which they'll
need your help so be prepared to serve.
Congratulations to Bruce Clements an alumnus of
Milne, who was married last week. He expects to go
into the Army soon .. . Boys’ Academy and C, B. A.
had their dances over the weekend. Janet Borst and
| Betty Brown went to the C. B. A. dance while Jean
Bronson Lorraine Weber, and Audrey Blume prefer
the A. A. Cadets... Art DeMoss is in the hospital now
with appendicitis. We hope he'll be back with us
soon*

Senior Spotlight
MiKE WELCH
“Yea, Mike! Yea, Welch! Yea,
Yea, Mike Welch!” should be the
cheer of the team for Mike (known
to her mother as Murial) Welch,
who leads the cheerleaders this year.
Practically any morning or after-
noon you will hear her yelling her
lungs out for the team or teaching
new cheers to the squad in room
135. Mike has been behind the
Milne hoopsters for about five years.
She was a member of the junior
school squad and in her sophomore
year became a member of the vars-
ity squad. This “bundle of cheer”
was born on November 8, 1925 and
has wandered about until the pres-
ent. She now resides in the Dutch
Village
Mike is a member of Quin and
jis one of the art room charges. She
came to Milne in the seventh grade
from School 19. This year she is
vice-president of the Red Cross.
She is one of the few people who
know what they want to do. Cor-
nell is her goal and then she wishes
to be a dietition. She also wants
to travel.
Mike likes chocolate ice cream,
fresh peas, good movies, the smell of
a pipe, lilacs, gum, cokes, sports and
Tyrone Power. Her favorite outfit
isa skirt and sweater, and lavendar
is her favorite color. She collects
records and likes “The Man I Love”!
Unusual as it may be, she likes to
dance. The favorite past time of Miss
Welch is “messing up the kitchen”;
that includes cooking.
Among the few things that do not
meet with her favor are water
dripping, Abbot and Costello, and
the color chartreuse.
Mike likes men who are active,
have a sense of humor and are

Red Raiders Will Face
Schuyler Falcons Tonight
Game Scheduled for
Hackett High Gym
Tonight the Red Raiders will face
their first game of the season against
a strong Schuyler team.
Public favor gives the Falcons
a slight edge over the Milnites, but
our boys have been practicing a few
new tricks and may have some sur-
prises in store for their opponents.
Schuyler may receive a few
surprises from the Junior Varsity.
This group of boys are smart and
swift and seem to have reached the
acme of teamwork.
At one point, the Falcons have
a great advantage over Milne. Seven
of the boys who played with Schuy-
ler last year are back again. Among
them are Bruda and Carr, the two
boys who brought so much grief
to their opponents last year. The
rest of the old boys are good team
men but not outstanding players.
Milne Plays Watervliet
On Saturday, Milne journeys to
Watervliet to play the championship
Watervliet high school team. This
vouchsafes to be one of Milne’s
toughest games of the season. Water-
vliet has had for the past few years
one of the best teams in the area.
They have eight of last year’s vars
ity men returning again which
means a veteran team,
Milne has only three varsity men
returning, Hal Game, Captain,
Gecrge Edick, and Morty Swartz,
This makes our team almost en-
cirely promoted from the JV. Ajj
team of this sort has many advan-
tages but it has one great disad-
vantage and this is that the boys
have had less practice playing, to-
gether than their opponents.
Freshman Team Has Ten Games
Milne’s newly organized freshman
team has ten games scheduled for
the season, More games may be
arranged, but they are tentative as
yet. This team was organized to
give freshmen who missed out on
the JV a chance to play in inter-
scholastic sports. This innovation
in Milne’s sports program may well
be the proving ground for our
future Varsity and Junior V:
stars. Some of these boys show
real talent, and they all have great
team spirit.
Schedule Changes Made
‘There have been some changes
made in the schedule: they are that
Milne will play St. John’s school of
Rensselaer on March 12, and will
play St. John’s at home on Fel
ruary 13 in place of the Vincentian

teams they play. Win, lose, or
draw Milne will fight, and it will be
a fight worth seeing. ,

Items of Interest
by Tom McCracken
Last weekend was one of many
surprises. ‘The number of upsets
in college games was amazing. One
of the greatest was the Boston
College, Holy Cross game. Boston,
a heavy favorite, was upset 55 to
[12 by an underdog, Holy Cross.
\awo of the less startling outcomes
|were Georgia over Georgia Tech.
and Navy over Army. There were
several other mix-ups, but those
mentioned are the most important.
Altogether, it was a swell weekend
tor the book makers.
The district basketball games
this weekend have plenty of local
interest. Christian Brothers Acad-
emy plays Cathedral Academy at
Cc. B. A. Catholic Central High
School fights the Vincentian Lions,
and Albany High School goes against
Cohoes High. Your reporter's choice
for these triday night are: Cathe-
dral over C. B. A,, V. I. over Cath-
olie Central and Cohoes over the
Garnet and Grey.
On Saturday only one big game
is scheduled. Albany Boys’ Acad-
emy will open its season with a
home game against Columbia High
School. In this game Academy is
picked, over East Greenbush.
While wandering around the var-
ious schools this past week, your
reporter saw several interesting
sights. These sights were in the
form of goodlooking feminine, cheer-
leaders, Albany High has two squads
of these gorgeous females. Milne

Basketball Games
Season Tickets
On Sale for $1.50
“The sale of basketball season
tickets has been very poor,” stated
tal Game, Co-chairman of the Boys’
Athletic Council.
‘Whe tickets cost $1.50, and they |
are good for eight top-notch games,
all played on Page Hall court. The
regular admission to the games is
§.40, but using a season ticket the
purchaser saves himself about $1.50,
the price of the ticket itself. If the
purehaser attends only four of the
games, he will break even,
‘Vhe tickets may be gotten from
members of the BAC. These boys are
Hal Game, George Edick, Russ
Langwig, ‘Tom Dyer, David Ball,
Al bingham and Bob Beckett.
The sale of these tickets helps
to finance the Boys’ Athletic club
during the current season for
officials, equipment, transportation
and other incidentals,
Ti the students of Milne know
any neighbors, friends, or relatives
that like to go to basketball games
they should try to sell some tickets
to them, The homeroom which
sells the most tickets will be award-
ed a cup.
The passes are good for the fol-
lowing games: Friday, December
18, Columbi: day, January 8,

ry 13, St. John's of Rensselaer;
urday, February 20, Schuyler;
Friday, February 26, C. B. A., and
Friday, March 5, Delmar,
Any student in Milne may sell
tickets to all persons. They are
not transferable. Game stated, “I
hope that we will be able to sell
many more tickets then we have
been accustomed to sell. It is very
important to make this drive a
success, The Council hopes that
everyone will get behind it and
sell all the passes he can.”

Art Room Leads War Bond Sales;
320 Is Second In School Drive
Milne High Sales Reach
$1500 by December First
By Edward Bookstein
The art room leads the sale of
war bonds and stamps in the Milne
school, as of November 30. Their
total is $192.60. Second in the drive
is homeroom 320 with a total of
$186.30. Senior homeroom 233 is
third with $183.70. The total sales
has reached $1500.
Edward L, Bookstein, ’43, chair-
man of the war bond’ and stamp
sale stated the following, “The
average purchase of war bonds and
stamps for each homeroom is eighty
dollars. However, several home-
rooms are Isacking their job. Home-
room 135 has complied the appaling
total of . . . hold on to your hats

is well behind the pack with sales
of $12.10. Room 327 should be
doing far better than $19.60 worth |
of war stamps purchased,
The sarcasm in this column con-
cerning the low totals of certain
homerooms isn’t written just to be
funny. I hope to make every home-
room in Milne, not only the slacker:
aware that, “the least you can do
the most you can buy,”

our men all over the world, but
