OPINION
The following are excerpts from editorials written
by C&W staff members. Please bear in mind that
these samples have been taken from context, and
that they do not necessarily represent the opinions
of the entire staff.
ON SCHOOL
“It is usually 11:45 by the time a student
reaches the cafeteria. . . If he decides on a
hot lunch he’s in for a long wait. . .
“a person feels he’s ploughing his way
through the African jungle as he tries to
reach the lunch room . . . When finally pro-
curing his seat, the student finds he has just
enough time to gulp his lunch
“All in all, lunch period is a time of mass
confusion, noise, and indigestion.”
—Linda Wyatt, sophomore
*
Removal of the new services of soft drinks
and grilled items such as cheeseburgers is the
best solution to the lunch room problem, but
such removal is obviously not to be expected,
for such “’progress’’ is seldom repealed. Milne
will probably remain the high school bastion
of the cheeseburger, french fries, cheesecake,
and diet soda $1.02 (remember the sales tax)
lunch.
Meanwhile, lunch room supervisors should
be instructed to insure a no line butting policy
which will both speed legitimate service and
allow a reasonable traffic flow to replace the
current five minute intramural contact sport.
A barrier of some sort would help this problem,
and, naturally, one was eliminated in the
recent past. Someone handling a changebox
and selling ice cream and beverages would be
an extremely useful innovation.
—T.O.
“It is amazing how one can analyze a per-
son’s character just by studying his after-
school habits.’”
—Agnes Zalay, sophomore
“What Milne needs is a good functioning
organization for boys and girls of all ages
which is prepared to serve others: to serve
Milne; to serve the community; to serve the
nation; to serve the world. This organization
. . is the High School Red Cross.’
“Kccording to the Declaration of Principles,
the Red Cross Youth Movement believes in
service for others, for our country, for our
community, and for our school; in addition,
the Declaration states a belief in ‘health of
mind and body to fit us for greater service,
and fer better human relations throughout
the world’.”’
“Support a Milne Red Cross!”
—tLaura Harris, sophomore
“Your diary, the class gripe society, or the
locker room walls are not the-proper places
for your ideas. Bring your suggestions forth.
One small voice can change the world!”’
—Mary Moore, sophomore
ON CONDUCT
“A Milne student should know general
rules conduct . but specifics should be
outlined.””
—John Margolis, junior
“The recent Saratoga controversy over
school dress has been, at best, a waste of time
and effort School dress regulations impose
on the student’s right to personal choice : . .
Ideas of appropriate dress are purely arbitrary
and constantly subject to change . . . There
was a time when no modest girl exposed her
ankles. It is ironic, that in many of today’s
schools, ankle-length granny dresses are also
“verboten.””
—Naomi Aronson, junior
“In a school situation, the individual’s
values and those of the society conflict. The
individual’s are, to him, of paramount im-
portance. However, he must live within a
society, so the society’s values must take pre-
cedence. Whatever degree of responsibility,
or, at the least, toleration of society's morals
one learns in high school is well worth the
loss of a certain amount of personal freedom
for four years.’
ON THE NATION ,
“ls President Johnson overstepping the Con-
stitutional bindings designed to protect the
people and the nation? Many of Johnson’‘s
moves are purely political . much of the
administration’s foreign policy is dictated by
public opinion at home
“Are all of Johnson’s moves political in
basis, or do they represent a slow but de-
termined quest to put more and more power
in the hands of the executive branch?
“Recently, it has come to light that Mr. |
Johnson has increased his control over all in-
formation released from the federal govern-
ment.
“Several prominent educators recently vis-
ited Viet Nam in an effort to bring about a
greater understanding of the issues. Most of
these men had their passports revoked.
“(Johnson) is a man who will not admit he
might possibly be wrong. (He is) a man who
wills the public to support him or be silent.
“It is not unpatriotic to question the actions
of the government. Rather, these questions
should be cause for inquiry and possible re-
vision of policy. The citizens in a democracy
have the right to know what is going on in the
administration, the right to dissent with the
administration, and the right to be in on the
decision making process. Without these rights
there is no responsible informed citizenship,
and without responsible informed citizens
there is no democracy.”
- —Sue Hohenstein, junior
“One cannot separate protest and action. }
Protest IS action. Protest must always be the
initial stage of change .. .
“Burning one’s draft card is an act of civil
disobedience There is one difference
(between draft card burning and the methods
used in the civil rights movement): public
opinion is in favor of the administration’s
policy in Viet Nam. | expect that most people
will disapprove of draft card burnings. After
all,” segregationists didn’t like the freedom
rides.
“The draft card burnings are not so much
anti-American as they are pro-humanity.
“In my opinion, it is extremely petty to
have hysterics over draft card burnings. We
are burning PEOPLE in Viet Nam! The values
of the world have become distorted. To ac-
cept the slaughter in Viet Nam, or anywhere
else, without protest is truly an abnegation of
responsibility of a member of the human
race.
—Paula Boomsiiter, junior

It stems from the fact that they

most responsible for this develop-

Upon being asked what made the

replied, “The boys!” But Fred knows
how to get the most out of his

Cafeteria Chaos
By LAURA HARRIS
If, one day, your mother abso-
lutely refuses to make your lunch
any more, and you absolutely can’t
stand peanut butter and bread,
which is absolutely the only thing
you can make, don't despair. Buy
your lunch in the school cafeteria.
For a small sum, you have your
choice of many delicious treats:
In the mood for a sandwich? Try
one of the several varieties offered
you—peanut butter, peanut butter
and jelly, peanut butter and jam,
peanut butter and marmalade, or
the yummy peanut butter and tuna
fish.
For the gourmet, who is “above”
common sandwiches, there are al-
ways the “specials”. These include
“Hamburg Rouge” (chopped horse-
meat drowned in catsup); “Sliced
Carrots in White Sauce” (little
orange things floating on what re-
mained in the ice cream compart-
ment after the. big blackout); and
the popular “Soup Supreme” (labo-
ratory analysis has not yet been
completed)... .
... Then there is the “super spe-
cial”. Each day, one dish is de-
clared “super special” and its name
is printed in giant capital letters on
the cafeteria blackboard. I noticed
several interesting ones last week,
such as “Cafards grilles”, which I
found (using my trusty French dic-
tionary, not my taste buds) to be
broiled cockroaches; “Mexican
beans” (do they jump); and “Cafe-
teria Closes at 2:30 p.m.”. .
A Taxing Test
By BARRY PRESS
With exams still fresh in our
minds it is “altogether fitting and
proper” that I administer a little
test of my own to those who are
foolish enough to read this. It will
be a general exam, covering all
areas of knowledge (?) and not
just one specific course. The an-
swers to some of the more difficult
questions will appear in parenthesis
immediately following the question.
One word of caution: There is to be
no looking on your neighbor’s exam
for answers which you lack or are
not sure of. (In this exam nobody
can have the right answers.)
1, At the battle of Waterloo, if
the allied armies were under the
Duke of Wellington, who was under
Napoleon? (Answer: his horse)
2. What is the definition of in-
congruous? (Answer: where all the
congressmen are)
3. If the current rate of exchange
is an eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth, what can you get for two
knuckles and a slipped disc? Hint:
Omit the sales tax.
4, How much wood would a wood
chuck if a wood chuck could chuck
wood?
5. If train A leaves White Rock
at 3:00 heading east and train B
leaves Frostbite Falls at 3:30 head-
ing west, at what time will they
meet head-on? Hint: Wihte Rock
is 250 miles west of Frostbite Falls
and the trains both travel at 50
miles per hour. (Answer: there is
none. This is actually a trick ques-
tion because there is no train run-
ing between White Rock and
rosthite Falls.)
6. Short essay question (50 pts.):
Discuss the similarities between an
aardvark and a_ gyroscope.
7. If five and_seven are twelve,
how much is Seven and Seven?
(Answer: 0.51 at Tilley’s Tavern)

GINNY BEARUP
During Milne basketball games,
one stomping foot seems to stand
out above all the rest. On the other
end of it is the captain of the cheer-
leading team, Ginny Bearup. At
other moments in the day, Ginny
can be found presiding over
M.G.A.A. meetings, singing in Mil-
nettes, making a motion as Student
Council representative, or working
as vice-president of the senior class.
Don't be surprised if you see
Ginny eating a hot fudge sundae,
with a boy who has red hair, after
a sports event, since these are
among her “favorite things.”
Next year, Ginny hopes to head
for Boston’ University to study
physical therapy.
JIM GEWIRTZMAN
Rival coaches are becoming
greatly disturbed by the appearance
of new players in the Milne basket-
ball lineup. Each week a new
member is added to the squad.
Little do they know, however, that
James Swartzman, J. Gwirtman,
and Jimmy Gewirtman are only
aliases used by Milne senior, Jim
Gewirtzman, to confuse them.
When not practicing basketball,
Jim finds time to serve as vice-
president of the M.B.A.A. and the
National Honor Society. He also
spends a great deal of time in
Spanish remedial, being a highly
motivated (?) student. Outside of
school, Jim enjoys eating, sleeping
and finding new ways to avoid
homework.
Jim is waiting to hear from Tufts,
Rochester, Stony Brook, Boston
University and Buffalo University.
He plans to major in physics or
chemistry.
JUDY GRAHAM
Any Milnites who have trudged
up to the Pine Hills Library may
recall a harried girl frantically try-
ing to replace the books on the
shelves . And if Judy Graham gives
you a dirty look when you scream,
“Hi Judy!” it’s only because you're
suppose to be QUIET in a library
Of course its perfectly all right
to yell, “Hi Judy!” in school; many
people do it when they see her at
basketball games as songleader, at
Quin meetings or at M.G.AA.
council meetings
Maybe you saw her at the World’s
Fair last May, when she sang with
the Chorale Belles, or was it head-
ing the youth group at her church?
Anyway, next fall you'll see her
at Elmira’ following a pre-nursing
program.
EXCHANGES

Students at Bethlehem Central and Linton receive automated, com-
puterized report cards.
Linton Hi-Lights praises the program, inaugu-
rated in Schenectady secondary schools by General Electric, as clearer
and more accurate, and says it has greatly reduced clerical work.
The Bethlehem Star, however, finds that Bethlehem Central’s sys-
tem, independent of General Electric, is time consuming for the teachers,
eliminates teacher comment, and delays the report cards for two to four
weeks,
St. Joseph seniors Mary Ratigham and Keith Mackey were chosen
the two outstanding contestants in WTRY’s 1965 “Voice of America” con-
test. Congratulations!
David Berg, author of .“The Lighter Side”, a feature in Mad, spoke
at Albert Leonard Junior High School in New Rochelle.
He said that
Mad’s intention is to “hold up a warped mirror to the public” and con-
tinued, “humor is a serious business.” His feature is based on the simple
assumption that “if it happened to me, then it’s happened to everyone
else, and if it's happened to you, it’s happened to everyone else—no one
goes his way alone.”
The Camp Camp
By NAOMI ARONSON
Camp is the quality of being
“in”, avant-garde, _anti-establish-
ment. Op art and pop art are camp.
So is yes art, less publicized than
the previous two.
Yes art is signed reality. It is a
parody of op art and pop art which
are, in turn, a satiric representation
At a yes art exhibit in New
York city, works were sold by the
pound . In addition, green stamps
were given with ‘the purchases.

Batman was definitely once camp.

TW THE YEAR TW
By SALLY BUTTON
Tom Lehrer’s most recent record
album, “That Was the Year That
Was”, is, in short, a fair attempt at
modern political and social satire.
His lack of insight and depth, how-
ever, is overshadowed by his de-
lightful musical accompaniment, and
an gccasionally refreshing slant on
the year that was.
Completely sacreligious is “The
Vatican Rag”, which ridicules the
entire conception of Roman Catholi-
cism from transubstantiation to the
Pope.
“New Math”, another tongue-in-
cheek selection, can also be utilized
for full homework advantage. It
melodically misinterprets Base 10,
Base 8, and basic arithmetic, but
presents a tongue-twisting parody
which makes it one of the best in
the album.
Other topics include: “National
Brotherhood Week”, focusing on
the murder of Malcom X, which
started it off with a bang last ye
“Wehrner Von Braun” and his
apolitical patriotic tendencies; and
“Who's Next?”, a satirical search
for the answer of nuclear su-
premacy.
Lehrer’s record is, on the whole,
effective in its purpose, but rather
superficial. It is much more en-
joyable to just forget the words,
and enjoy the rag-time and swing
of Lehrer’s piano—his real forte.
