«Mystery of the Sugar House
“Nothing ever happens around here,” grumbled
Cookie. She and I were sitting on the bank of the
pond fishing for sunfish. Between the heat of the
noonday sun and the chug of the bullfrogs, I was
gradually falling asleep.
Suddenly Cookie jumped up, startling me so that
I dropped my fishpole into the pond.
“Look!” she yelled, pointing across the fields, Sight-
ing along her pointed finger, I could see a small col-
umn of smoke rising over the woods just above the
clearing where the old sugar house stood.
We ran across the fields to the house and told Uncle
Bill what we had seen. Leaving Cookie to call the
Fire Hall, Uncle Bill and I hurried across the pasture
and finally reached the clearing. All that was left of
the sugar house was the crooked tin chimney and a
jumble of flat evaporator pans black with char.
When the firemen arrived, we were still standing
there trying to puzzle out what had happened, We
noticed George Irish, who lived down the road, sitting
proudly in the front seat of the firetruck so he could
pull the fire bell.
Three days later, we were still trying to figure out
how the fire had started. In fact, Cookie and I were
talking it over as we walked down past the county
land, a section where a truckload of new little pine
trees had been planted. I thought I saw a flicker of
flame in one of the pines. The next time we looked
the tree was ablaze.
Knowing how fast the pines burn, we ran to the
house as fast as we could to call the Fire Hall. Once
again George Irish was sitting proudly in the front
seat of the firetruck, ringing the fire bell. In fact,
Mr. Rumfola, who lived across the street from the
Fire Hall, had seen George sitting there before we
called in the alarm.
The firemen made quick work of the fire, but they,
too, began to wonder. There hadn't been a fire here
for years, and now two in one week! As they looked
around, they noticed queer marks in the soft earth
under the pines, They followed the tracks for awhile
but soon came to the high grass, and then there was
nothing to be seen,
Cookie and I noticed the firemen talking together
in low voices and saw Mr. Rumfola point .to George.
George looked happy in spite of the fire. When the
excitement was all over, and the men had ridden
away, there sat George proudly pulling the bell.
Three days later, George Irish was found starting a
bonfire in the old woodshed in back of Brown’s Shoe
store. Mr. Rumfola was the one who caught him. It
seems he had begun to wonder why George was al-
ways ready to go before the fires were reported. He
and the other men had decided to watch and had
taken turns spying on George.
That was the end of our fires. George told how he
had wrapped his feet in burlap sacks to make the
strange tracks. Poor George was sent’ away to a
hospital for the mentally ill.
‘As for Cookie and me, we gave up fishing for sun-
figh. We're very busy down in the clearing helping
Uncle Bill rebuild the burned sugar house.

Veterans Pace Milne Varsity
PITCHING STRONG
According to Milne baseball coach
Harry Grogan, this season promises
to be a fairly successful one for the
Red Raiders. When interviewed, Mr.
Grogan said that this year’s pitching
staff is the strongest he has had in
recent seasons. Returning letter-
man Richie Lockwood will be aided
by ex-Guilderland star Jim Mc-
Clelland and by a group of sopho-
mores including Codge Jenkins,
Ken Lockwood, and Tom Thorsen.
Freshman Mike Dagget rounds out
the moundsmen.
Many Returnees
Infield and outfield positions will
be filled mostly by veterans of pre-
vious campaigns. Seniors Wes Jacobs
and Bud Mehan are definite infield
starters while juniors Doe Hengerer
d Jeff Segal and soph Tom Thor-
sen vie for the remaining positions.
Experienced Outfield
Kip Grogan, a returnee from last
year’s varsity, former Academy star
Winston Hamilton, and Dick Grear
and Tom Rider, both from last year’s
J.V., comprise the outfield.
Veteran Howie Wildove will
handle the catching chores with
sophomore sensation Steve Rice
standing by.
League Strong
Milne, as a member of the new
Capital ’ District league, will
Hudson high, Van Rensselaer's
Rams, and the Tigers of Cohoes
twice each, and will have one con-
test with each of the following:
Albany academy, Lansingburgh
high, Shenendchowa central and
Watervliet high. Coach Grogan feels
that the league is going to be strong
all the way through and that an
exciting season should result.
Combined varsity and junior var-
sity rosters follow. Infielders: Mic
Grogan, Doe Hengerer, Wes Jacobs,
Don Kingston, Al Markowitz, Bud
Mehan, and Jeff Segal. Outfielders:
Dick Grear, Chad Grogan, Kip
Grogan, Win Hamilton, Tom Rider,
and Keith Shaver. Catchers: Sandy

+--GROGAN'S
Richie Lockwood — Richie was;
Milne’s leading pitcher last year,
gaining credit for both of the var-
sity’s victories, one each over Rens-
selaer and Bethlehem central. He
showed a great deal of versatility,
playing also as catcher, infielder,
and outfielder at some time during
the season.
Howie Wildove—Enemy base run-
ners have a hard time with Howie
behind the plate. Passed balls are
great rarities as far as he is con-
cerned. Howie gave everyone (ex-
cluding Milne opponents) a pleasant
surprise last year when he showed
that he could hit as well as catch,
as he became one of the Milne var-
sity’s leading batters.
Bud Mehan — Buddy is one. of
Milne’s best on-base men, and he’s
also lightning on the base-paths. His
snappy fielding could help the Ri
ers develop an efficient double-play
combination, This year will be his
second season on the varsity.
Wes Jacobs—It looks like another
great season for Wes, who is the
only two-year veteran on the var-
sity. He led the varsity in hitting
last year with a .323 average, and
he also led in the runs-batted-in
department. Wes handled the hot
corner like an expert last year, and
he can also play first base if ne-
cessary.
Kip-Grog:
n — Though his batting
average was disappointing last year,
Kip showed a great deal of potential
and finally began to click at the end
of the season. Kip usually gets a
good piece of the ball, and it is
possible that he could be one of our
leading hitters during this seas
which is his second as a
player.
Doc Hengerer—Doc played a fine
son for the junior varsity last
year, and he was the leading hitter
among those players who have r
turned for this season, He i

GALLERY --
Dick Grear—Dick played well for
the Milne junior varsity last year.
He could cause a lot of trouble for
enemy pitchers this year, as well as
for hitters when he is in the field.
Tom Rider—Tom was instrumental
in helping the J.V. compile its 4-1
record last season. He is a con-
sistent hitter, and his spectacular
catches in the outfield rob many a
batter of a base hit.
Winston Hamilton—“Winnie” can
both hit and pitch, and was impres-
sive in both departments last season
for our arch-rival, Albany academy.
He can also play outfield. If the
change of uniforms doesn't effect
his ability, he should prove to be a
welcome addition to the Milne var-
sity.
Jim McClelland — Pitching for
Guilderland last year, Jim compiled
a 5-1 record for the J.V., his only
loss coming at the hands of the Red
Raiders of Milne. Jim completely
disproves the notion that pitchers
can’t hit.
Jeff Segal—This is Jeft’s first year
at Milne, and there is reason to be-
lieve that Milne baseball fans will
be glad that he’s here before the
season is over. He should be a vital
member of our infield.
Tom Thorsen—Another new stu-
dent, Tom is equally adept at pitch-
ing and at playing the infield. He
also has a great deal of potential as
a top-flight hitter.

This column is for GIRLS!
It's spring! And, oh boy, do the
Milne girls know it!
Governed by Miss Lydia Murray,
the M.G.A.A. has set a date. This
is the biggest day of the year for
Milne’s female population. Why?
Because it’s the BANQUET. Many
of the new students don’t realize
what a gala event this is, but the
“old-timers” sure do. Every year
this annual occasion gets a little
more exciting, fun-packed and tra-
ditional.
Each girl (grades 7-12) is heartily
urged to attend. Of course, all the
Milne “Moms” are invited, too. The
banquet will be held May 21 at
Trinity Methodist church at 6:30
p.m. and may it be called to the
attention of EVERYONE that 6:30 is
the time, not 6:31, BE PROMPT!
Awards To Be Presented
M.G.A.A, council has set May 11
as the deadline for reservations and
by May 15 all money MUST be paid.
No other information will be given
out except that a “celebrity” will
entertain and M.G.A.A. awards will
be presented. See you there!
Milne's junior high cheerleading
club has recently been organized. It
meets on Mondays in an attempt to
produce next year’s J.V. cheerlead-
ers. The club is proud to announce
that Miss Charlotte Sackman is now
their coach.
Elections Coming
Three seniors will soon nominate
new girls for M.G.A.A. council offi-
cers. They are Ann Marshall, Ann
Quickenton and Martha Hesser.
They will then be voted on by all
eligible girls. In order for a girl to
vote she must have earned at least
three credits this year. If she pre-
viously had these three, one more
must have been earned, The newly
elected officers will be announced
at the banquet.
Sports Night Entertaining
Tri-Hi-Y Sports’ night was a fab-
ulous success. Sigma vs. Quin was
the MAIN attraction (at least as far
as they were concerned). They tried
to play baseball with a “whiffle”
ball! Consequently it proved diffi-
cult and hilarious. Everyone had a
marvelous time. And why not? The
Milne GIRLS were there!
Tennis, Golf Teams St
Milne’s tennis team looks excep-
tionally strong this year, with six
returning lettermen leading the
pack, along with several newcomers.
Fred Bass, Larry Giventer, Jon
Harvey, Aaron Jasper, Max Striebel,
and Eric Yaffee all played for the
Milne tennis team last year. Speedy
Bob Cantwell should be a welcome
addition to’ the connoisseurs of the
catgut. George Houston, another
neweomer to Milne tennis, should
also see a good deal of action this
year.
rong
Others on the squad, which is
coached by Tom Sullivan, are War-
ren Abele, Art Bass, Stuart Lewis,
Fred Taylor, and Steve Whaley.
Golfe: lected
Milne’s golf team, led by return-
ing lettermen Howie Berkun and
Steve Einhorn, is out to improve on
its 4-4 record compiled last year.
The team is coached by Dr. James
Cochrane, and plays its matches on
the Municipal Golf course.
Also on the team are Mike Fisher,
Al Markowitz, Steve Rice, and Terry
Thorsen.

JACK FENIMORE
The next poor soul to be ruth-
lessly dissected in this column is
Milne’s own man of the stars, Jack
Fenimore. Jack is an astronomer,
in fact such a capable one that he
is a past president of the Albany |
Astronomy club.
When Jack is not watching the
stars, he is watching the water for
any speed boat races that might
happen to be coming along. He has
his own “putt-putt” which is kept
on Trout lake. Jack has seriously
considered flooding the little gym
so we could have our long awaited
swimming pool and he could have a
lake for his boat.
In serving his full six year term
here at Milne, Jack has intellectual-
ly cultured his mind in many ways.
He has formed his own opinions on
most every controversial question
(teachers, girls, ete.). After gradu-
ating from Milne, when the great
day arrives, he plans to attend
Union college. His aim through all
is will be politics. Elect Fenimore.
What a future!

spend the rest of her life “Breez-
ing” around the world, Some people
think that Mary Breeze is a well-
traveled girl, we don’t know where
they get that impression.
With all this traveling around it
is difficult to see where Mary finds
the time to be so active in the Red
ay Last year she was v:
of the Red Cross senior
and has ‘led discussion
and has been counselor at
Junior Red Cross training
sident
council
groups
several
camps.
Mary has wide interests and activ-
ities, She loves archery, horseback
riding, and fishing? She collects
books and folk-song records, and
makes all her own clothes.
Born on October 16, 1940 in Al-
bany, Mary has lived all her life on
the family’s 50 acre farm, The Piper's
Glen. She just missed’ going to a
one-room schoolhouse and feels as
if there is something lacking in her
life. Poor girl, she never does any-
thing.
