cA SENSE OF VALUE
One of Milne’s most important functions is to help
us develop a sense of values, such as the value of
education as a signpost in a somewhat confusing world,
the value of relationships with others as a basis for
social development.
Milne tries to do its part, but do we always try to do
ours? Formulating sets of values isn’t enough; we
must test them,, question them before we can’ call
them our own.
One way to begin is to ask ourselves a few questions
about our work at Milne. For example, which of the
following is more valuable:
Digging into that homework we'd rather forget
(and getting something out of it) or deciding to watch
television for another hour (and—chances are—getting
very little out of it).
Once we have begun to examine our values in
regard to school, this questioning attitude can influ-
ence the realm of our outside interests. For instance,
which is worth more;
An 89¢ popular record (that will probably be for-
gotten in a week) or its equivalent, 20 lbs. of food
through CARE (which will keep a needy family over-
seas going for almost a month),
‘A 25¢ pack of cigarettes or 25 words of truth to be
broadcast to people behind the Iron Curtain (by such
ies as the Crusade for Freedom),
Let’s understand that giving up television or popular
records or cigarettes probably isn’t the best answer
(at least, most of us hope not), However, careful
planning which will enable us to budget money and
time is an answer.
If we start questioning our values now, we'll be
much better able to give the right answers when it
really counts,

Milne had a well balanced scoring

the two platoon system to good ad-
vantage. The Raiders were able to
play a fresh five at all times against
their thinly benched opposition, thus
putting extra pressure on Shenen-

Defensively, the Groganmen used
a sagging circle zone that held

Half-Time Break
Takes the Cake
By KATIE SIMMONS
With mid-year exams (and mid-
year slump) upon us, things are
not too lively around the hallowed
halls these days.
At this moment, I would be will-
ing to hazard the guess that the
uppermost thought in your minds
is how to pass the exams. In fact,
it is obvious from the expressions
on your faces that this is what you
are thinking.
The juniors can be seen wander-
ing through the halls muttering
physics formulas and wondering
how on earth you are supposed to
know if that foolish man will be
able to pull his car out of the sand
with a combination of twenty-four
fixed, ninety-six movable pulleys.
(Besides, what was he doing in the
sand in the first place?)
Sophomore first-year language
students are mystified about how
you can pass a test when you can't
even understand the directions.
And the freshmen have decided
they might just as well give up
algebra as a lost cause.
The seventh and eighth grader:
have been wondering what surpr’
would be found on their English
tests, and what could possibly hap-
pen if they ran out of ink in the
middle of the test.
Seniors are just generally sweat-
ing it out, The senior room is a
mass of chemistry equations, history
dates, and the melodic harmony of
verb conjugations in three lan-
guages, If we keep up at our pres-
ent rate, we'll all be digging ditches
next year, Oh well, parting is sup-
posed to be such sweet sorrow any-
way.
Look What’s Coming (?
Flash! . . . new courses to be
offered at Milne next semester. . .
President Fossieck and his cabinet
have been greatly perturbed by the
number of students who have run
out of electives. To remedy this
alarming situation, they have
nounced that some new courses will
be added to the curriculum, The
privilege of taking these courses
will be extended to all those who
have a free lunch period.
The first will be “Contemporary
Fencing,” to be taught by Dr. Coch-
rane. This course is of particular
interest to all those who are con-
templating a duel in the near future.
Dr. Cochrane has stated, however,
that all students participating must
supply their own swords
bandages.
If you happen to posse:
a vine~
yard or a wine cellar, the next
course is tailor-made for you; it is
titled “Fundamentals of Making
and Tasting Good , Wine.” This
course, to be taught by Mrs. “B”,
will be conducted on the playing
field in front of Page hall. There,
lucky Milnites will learn the proper
way to stomp grapes (barefooted)
and, by actual taste tests, the best
years for wine, and ways to judge
it.
The last course to be offered i
“The Fine Art of Forging Paren’
Signatures,” to be given in ‘two
parts: “Report Card Techniques”
and “Tips on Field Trip Slips.”

Our Heritage
By ANNABEL PAGE
How would you like to be a stu-
dent in “The Experimental School?”
You would have been had you been
a Milne pupil from 1845-1867 when
our school was located in the
Depot building at State street and
Maiden lane and was filled with
human “guinea pigs” for the then
State Normal school, These and
other interesting facts about our
family tree are contained in the
magazine, “For Youth and the
te,” published in 1940 by the
Milne faculty and alumni.
In 1868, we became The Model
school and so remained until 1890
when we gained the title of The
High School Department of the
State Normal School. When_ the
latter was renamed The New York
State Normal College in 1904, we
eentinued to bear the label of The
High School Department of the col-
lege.
When did we become Milnites? In
1916, when we were christened The
William J. Milne High school in
honor of Dr, William J. Milne who,
for a generation, was president of
State college. In 1929, when the
junior high school grades were
added, we acquired our present
moniker, The Milne school.
Milne Firsts
Every family has a number of
| “first times” in its history, and ours
\is no exception. Quin and: Adelphoi
were organized in 1890, The Crim-
son and White began as a literary
|magazine in 1904, In 1909, classes
‘were held on the top floor of the
{Draper building. The Boys’ Ath-
letic Association was created in
, | September, 1913. A “Girl ay”
was started in 1915, was celebrated
once, and then for unexplained
reasons was dropped for three years
until 1919, when it was resumed.
The influenza epidemic of 1918 gave
the school a long and unexpected
vacation. ‘The first baseball team
| was organized in 1919. A student
council was proposed in 1921. In
April of that year, Adelphoi debated
the question: “Resolved, that Pure

Milne. The first Mother-Daughter
banquet was held in 1938. In 1939,

getting better and better; there were
three young, unmarried men on the
faculty of supervisors.
Over the years, our “family” has
had distinguished leadership. In
