Humanities students wait for the
th
in to take them to New York for their
‘ee-day weekend of visiting art galleries, concert halls and theater
THE MILNE SCHOOL, ALBANY, N. Y.
JANUARY 22, 1959
Students Design
Art Gallery
“I wonder if it’s possible to tear
out the ceiling and put in a new
one? . . . 87” by, let’s see now,
12'3” and that scales down to. . .
uh... just 434” by 644”... Oh,|
Mrs. Waiker, is it all right if we rip
out that radiator and put in a
stereophonic hi-fi system instead?”
This is the type of patter you may
hear if you happen to be outside the
Milne art room during third period.
Although it may sound as if a
wrecking crew has invaded the
school, it's just the Mechanical |
Drawing class redesigning the foyer |
outside the art room. |
Masculine Decor Probable
Included in the class are eighteen
boys: Skip Miller, Glenn Simmons,
Mike Fisher, Chuck Averill, Jack
Fenimore, Mike Russell, John Tay-
lor, Keith Shaver, Paul Sabol, Mike
Ungerman, Bob Kraft, Max Streibel, |
Howie Wildove, Dave Certner,|
Chuck Culver, Howard Otty, John
McIlwaine and Bruce Smith. There
is also one femme fatale in the
group, Mary Breeze.
Each student in the class will sub-
mit his own idea of the hall's new
design, drawn to scale and with
price specifications. The best one
will then be selected and construc-
tion will begin.
Lintel Stones Crack
Several cracked stones have crea-
ted a need for reenforcement of the
main entrance to Page hall. Until
construction can begin, temporary
scaffolding has been erected to sup-
port the weak structure.
When the building was erected
there were no iron girders for sup-
port. The entire weight was upon
the lintel stones on top of the
columns.
Mr. Bedford, chief engineer for
the college, said the cracked stones
might fall’ tomorrow or last for
years. The scaffolding has been
erected so that if the stones should
fall, they won’t do any harm,
The actual work on the building
will begin sometime in the spring.
Milne Library
Buys New Books
Each year Miss Mabel Jackman,
our librarian, orders almost five
hundred new books in order to keep
our library continually up-to-date
and crammed with most enjoyable
and informative literature.
Every six weeks to two months,
an order of over fifty books is com-
piled. Among these are requests
by the supervisors of each subject
for books which will contribute to
the students’ knowledge and those
chosen by Miss Jackman for the
students’ enjoyment.
Books for One and All!
The following books are among
those that will reach Milne soon.
For drama enthusiasts, the English
department has ordered Prize Plays
of T.V. and Radio and Primer for
Playgoers. Those interested in_his-

dents will enjoy Through the Magni
fying Glass and Monkey Busines
Anyone liking music may look
forward to Dr. York’s requests,
From Madrigal to Modern Music
and Listening to Music Creativel
Latin students will find special in-
terest in reading Prisoners of Hanni
bal.
Mrs. Walker, our art supervisor,
has ordered Creating With Paper.
Even those students contemplating
college haven’t been forgotten. Mr.
Howes’ request, College Ahead! is
among the new books. These are
only a few of the many fine books
coming to Milne during the year.
Jr. High Plans Dance
Coming up on the Junior high’s
social calendar is a dance on Janu~
ary 24. It will be in the Page Hall
gym, from 7:30 until 10:30 p.m. |
Cherie Dominski, Paul Galib,|
Betty Klingaman and Peggy Roblin
are in charge of refreshments. The
decorations committee consists of
Dick Blabey, Nancy Button, Peter
Einhorn and Paul Feigenbaum.
Supervising the jitterbug contest
are Mary Grear, Carole Huff and
Ann Miller.
‘Humanities Class Takes
First 3-Day Field Trip
New York City welcomed the Milne humanities class January 16, 17,
and 18. They toured galleries, studi
ied famous buildings, heart a concert,
attended an opera and saw a Broadway play.
This excursion has been hoped

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art the class saw many paintings.
Outstanding were “View of Toledo” by El Greco and “Girl at the Window”
Play, Food, Reform;
Societies Are Busy
Sigma is going Broadway. The
plans are still top-secret, but the
girls admit they are going to pro-
duce another musical, altering the
original songs and plot slightly. The
show will ‘be similar to “North
Atlantic” which the girls presented
to the school last year.
Quin and Sigma are planning a
joint bowling party. The losers will
make all the cookies for the Q.T.S.A.
dance.
Quin Eats Progressively
Quin is going to hold a progressive
dinner. The girls will go to their
sisters’ homes, eating a different
part of the meal at each house. Also
in the future are a bake-sale, skat-
ing party, and a slumber party.
Adelphoi is re-writing its consti-
tution to replace its present out-
moded one. The committee consists
of Bob Cantwell (chairman). Bob
Blabey, Jim Brody and Paul Sabol.
Supervised by Doug Margolis,
Warren Abele, John Hukey and Bill
Walther will sell soda at the basket-
ball games. The proceeds will
sponsor Adelphoi’s share of the
Q.T.S.A, scholarship and the annual
QTS.A. dance.
C & W Leaves Space
Examination of the proofs for this
issue of the Crimson and White re-
vealed this space, which was then
rapidly filled with this article.
*by Vermeer. These masterpieces are
worth over a million dollars. The
group also viewed paintings at the
Museum of Modern Art and the
Whitney museum.
Tosca At Met
The group heard the opera Tosea
by Giacomo Puccini at the Metro-
politan Opera house. Since it was
sung in Italian, the class had been
required to see the movie, which
had English sub-titles, at the Dela-
ware theater,
The class heard Berl Senofsky,
winner of an International contest
at Brussels in 1955, play Brahms’
Violin Concerto with the New York
Philharmonic orchestra, conducted
by Sir John Barbirolli. “Also on the
program were The Planets by Holst
and the overture to Der Freischuetz
by Weber.
The students also visited the
United Nations building and the
Lever house, examples of contempo-
rary architecture.
Faculty-Student Group
Faculty advisors for the trip were
Dr. and Mrs. Roy York and Edward
Cowley. Mrs. Cowley joined them
on Saturday afternoon.
The students who attended were
Bob Bildersee, Bob Blabey, Mary
Breeze, Dave ‘Certner, Jack Feni-
more, Larry Giventer, George Hous-
ton, Sybillyn Hoyle, Aaron Jasper,
Nancy Jones, Bud’ Mehan, Paula
Propp, Linda’ Scher, Cathie Scott,
Fred Taylor, and Linda White. Four
of the boys returned home Saturday
so they could play basketball that
night.
Speakers Advise Students
January 8, Linda Scher introduced
Harold Laynor, Supervisor for Art
education of New York, who spoke
to interested sophomores, juniors
and seniors on the field of interior
design as a career. Mr. Laynor
stressed high school and_ college
educational requirements for this
field.
At the same time in the Little
theatre, Winston Hamilton was in-
troducing William Ullman, who
talked about careers in chemistry.
He outlined the preparation needed
| by those interested.
Concurrent Meetings
January 15 interested groups of
students attended three other career
series meetings. George Houston
was host for the editorial and re-
porting meeting.
The meeting concerning the Mer-
chant Marine proved interesting to
a large turnout of boys. Paul Sabol
acted as the host for this meeting.
Jim Brody was host for the meet-
ing on the entertainment field as a
career. It was enlightening to learn
that one does not have to be a per-
former to enter this: field.
Future Programs Planned
Prospective programs are as fol-

school seniors spent their Christmas
recess completing the many forms
and papers necessary to gain admit-
tance to college. Based upon my
own experience with this collegiate
paper work, I am convinced that a
standardized application form could
be devised and filed with a central
agency which could send transcripts
to designated colleges,
Preparing such a form is not so
stupenduous a task as might appear.

Space for special material not re-
quired in all cases, such as composi-

or letters of recommendation could
be included on the standardized

could advise prospective applicants
which questions to answer, much in
the same manner that the College
Boards requirements are now
handled.
Not only students would benefit
from such a plan. As all high school
guidance offi know, there is an
amazingly large amount of paper
work connected with forwarding

Winter Diversions
by FRED BASS
Winter-time is upon us. Are we
gay or glum? This depends in large
part upon many things over which
we have little or no control. Among
these are: our individual personali-
ties, our environment and our past
experiences with winter. If we have
played games (and done well in
them) in past winters, this season
is extremely enjoyable to us. Here,
then, are a few interesting new
sports to make your coming winters
happy and memorable.
The first game on our list is both
strenuous and relaxing. It was in-
vented by the Urduca Indians to
while away the winter time. They
called the game Aranah-Too-Pakah.
Unfortunately the exact translation
of this name is not available to us
at the present time. This is due to
the fact that the Urduca Indians
died out completely circa 3947 B.C:
and little is known of their language.
A Thinking Man's Report
From pictographs, however, we do
know how the game was played. It
was usually divided into two parts.
First, all the contestants are split up
into teams of two or three players. |
Each team then builds, as fast as
. |
possible, an igloo-type structure. |
is the strenuous part of the|
The relaxing part follows. |
Upon completion of these igloos, the |
teams crawl into their respective |
igloos and seal up the entrances
after them. The team which is able
to remain in its igloo the longest |
period of time (and can emerge
under its own power) wins. This |
rule excludes, of course, any team |
which is found frozen.
By the way, it is interesting to|
note that thi
Thi

|
is game is thought by |
some historians to be the cause of
the extinction of the Urduca tribe.
‘This is not the general opinion held
by all historians, however.
Kwieball—A Game of Skill
A second game that I would like
to introduce to you is adapted from
the penguins of the Antarctic region.
‘These birds play a game something
like soccer, It is commercially
known as Kwieball and has only
several simple rules. These rules
include the following: (a) The ball
may be handled with the right hand
and the left foot only; (b) The net-
minder baskethanger may use both
hands and either the right or the

Anyone who is interested in ob-
taining a copy of the rules and a
description of Kwieball should write
to the Game Management director
at the State Conservation depart-
ment for information. Ask for “The
Complete rules of Kwieball” and
allow ten days to three weeks for
delivery.
Thought for the Week
As you can see, this column is, in
the words of the Bard of Avon, “A
tale told by a CLOD, full of sound
and fury, signifying nothing.”
“And this, I suppose, is one of
those hideous caricatures you call
modern art.”
“Nope, that’s just a mirror.”

FAITH MEYER
When you see those three girls in
the red outfits out on the basketball
court at a game, don’t just sit there!
Sing! They are the songleaders, in-
cluding Faith, doing their duty by
rousing school spirit.
Speaking of spirit, this talkative
ittle girl, Faith, manages to add life
to Milne activities
joined: Sigma, M.G.A.A.
nettes. She has one silent job—ex-
change editor for the C&W. And
this girl isn’t quiet outside school,
either.
For eight years she has been
working on her piano-playing tech-
nique, and she takes an active part
in her church fellowship. Some-
ing which brightens her up is
certain twenty-one year old civilian,
but watch out! If you keep her
waiting for anything, you're liable
to be in for it!
All this “spirit” business began
April 9, 1942, when Faith came to
Albany for the express purpose of
cheering up that gloomy month, and
she will probably keep this up next
year at Concordia in Bronxville,
N. Y., where she hopes to study
religion. (By the way, don’t forget
to SING!)
KIP GROGAN
There has been a rumor circulat-
ing in Milne that the reason Harry
Grogan, Jr. plays on the Milne var-
sity is not because he is Coach's
son, but because he can really play |
ball. I would like to quell this
rumor and state it as a fact.
Kip is one of the top players on
the Milne five and even though a
certain four boys have spread other
rumors depreciating his value, I
will not reverse my judgment. After
all, I don’t mind good marks in gym.
Besides being a fine athlete, Kip
is intelligent and has a_ pleasant
personality. His twinkling blue eyes
look down on you as he blushes and
chuckles. In fact, if he ever gains
weight he could find part time work
being a department store Santa
Claus.
Kip might have spare time, too,
but only’ in the summer, for he is
planning to teach when he gradu-
ates from college.
Wouldn't it be nice to have Santa
Claus as a teacher? He'd never be
angry, he'd just chuckle away.
And Kip does.

Junior Highlights
by JUDY and DICK
Ninth graders are reading three
novels in pocketbook edition for
English. Section one is reading
On the Beach by Nevil Shute, the
story of the end of the world in
1967. Lost Horizons, by James Hil-
ton, is the weird tale of Shangri-La,
where one is eternally young. Sec-
tion two is reading this book. Sec-
tion three is reading Hiroshima,
which tells the story of the city
before, during, and immediately
after its bombing in 1945, ‘This
novel, by John Richard Hersey,
gives'a clear picture of the destruc-
tion an A-bomb can cause.
Besides reading these books, the
freshmen are studying novels in
general, and are working on projects
related to the book they are reading.
Flanagan To Announce
For the Junior high dance in May,
which is the final dance of the year,
something new and different has
been added. For several years we
have had to contend with local
bands or a Milne “dise-jockey.” This
year, thanks to our Student council,
we will be honored with the pres
ence of Paul Flanagan, WPTR’s top
dise jockey.
Wednesday, January 7, Miss Betty
Ayer and her eighth grade English
class were observed, over television,
by Dr. James Cochrane's Psychology
class.
Depressant
The old man seemed to know why.
Little children didn’t know
As the old man sat, life
moved around him, yet
he sat, he watched
he knew
I saw that man years later
upon seeing him, I became
morose. He sat, he watched, he
knew
Pat him on the back
the boy is as always
he still knows
—Jon Harvey
Seniors Go Off-Campus
With the approval of the faculty,
the seniors received their off-cam-
pus privileges on January 5.
There are several rules which the
seniors have to follow. They must
secure their parents’ permission be-
fore going off campus for the first
time. This privilege is for lunch
hour only. During this time, a senior
may go anywhere he wants to, as
long as he doesn’t ride in a car or
return late for the fourth period
class.
Committee Polls
Recently the Student - Faculty
committee distributed questionnaires
concerning several Milne activities.
Included in the list were the possi-
bilities of a second Parents’ Night,
a study-hall before school, dances
sponsored by the literary societies,
and soda sold during the basketball
games.
The students favored the adoption
of these measures. The issues are
being brought up before the faculty,
and they are expected to be put into
effect shortly.
