Seniors, Let's Meet
When the schedule was changed at the begin-
ning of the school year and the seventh period was
added, allowance for the senior class meetings was
made for the seventh period on Monday. Since at-
tendance at these meetings is not compulsory, the
majority of the seniors did not attend the meetings.
Announcements of the meetings were made ahead
of time, but the attendance still dropped off, at one
time only one fifth of the class members attend-
ing.
At these meetings it became very difficult to
conduct business with so few class members pres-
ent. Toward the end of the school year it will be-
come increasingly important that the seniors attend
meetings. The meetings only last for a short time
and are conducted so that all members can take
part. It is very possible that a few members may
push through a motion that the majority of the
class would not want.
So let’s see all seniors at meetings from now on.
Give!
Everyone is busy doing his best to protect our
country.
Red Cross has always protected and aided our
country and its citizens in times of disaster. Now
in this extreme crisis, we are called upon to give
to our Red Cross, Milne students are asked to raise
seventy-five dollars. This money will go for the
many essentials of War Relief, nurses, doctors,
hospitals, canteens, amusements for those men in
service that are in hospitals; first aid to civilians,
food, shelter, and clothing, to those who have lost
their homes. Those are but a few of the ways the
Red Cross tries to make war less a tragedy and
burden. Many men and women are giving their
lives to protect our liberty.
Why can’t we give our spending money to pro-
tect them? If every Milne student would give ten
or fifteen cents, with the added contributions of
the clubs and classes that we now have, we could
raise our quota and help the city of Albany rdisr
their's! Give!

My, how the Sigma girls were hustling last week

president returned Monday fit as a fiddle and got
things running smoothly again . . . . From all reports
the affair wes a huge success .. . . “What a gorgeous
school”... . “Looks like a threatre lobby” .. . . were
some of the remarks of the fans who attended the
Columbia game at East Greenbush last Friday night
. One thing that Milne has is school spirit... .
Gerry Plunkett, Gretchen Phillips, Lillian Simmons,
|Bob Kohn and Jean Dougles were right there with
their eyes on the ball every minute... . As were
Dotty Hoopes and Dick Bates... . Even such alumni
a5 Jane Phillips and Bob Taylor couldn’t stay away
What a game...
They even cheered for the timekeeper and scorekeep-
Ask anyone who was there
what ares yelled. ¢
Chuck Cross knows what it feels like to be best
man at a wedding . Flash
- . A casualty . . Marnie orton fell down on the
fay to school last week and broke her wrist... . So
if you see her walking around with her arm in a
sling, you'll know it’s authorative ... . That’s the
price you have to pay to go to school! .. . . Another
basketball game last Friday was that of Milne vs.
St. Agnes. The gym was “jammed” with people and
of all things, a voluntary cheerin; section .... A
group of boys gave a cheer for the “bloomer” girls
Yea bloomer, yea, girls, yea yea, bloomer girls
And though the Milne Varsity wore them too, I
doubt if they were yelling for them! . Now, I ask
And after the way they yell

Open Letter:
Ep. Nore: In reply to an editorial in last week's
Crimson anp Waite Sanford Golden, *42, Basketball
Manager, replies to the student body in the following
letter:
To the Student Body:
The reason that there has been no dancing this
year after basketball games in the gym is that the
gym floor had a great deal of repair work done on it
this summer and it is advised that there be no danc-
ing till after the basketball season is over. The lounge
was tried but due to the large crowds and the small
quarters the lounge was found out of the question.
The commons is used a great deal of the time. We
could not be sure of getting it, and if we did, due to
the fact that the college must be left completely open,
in past years this action had been found unadvisable.
We have tried to remedy the situation by having
dancing on Friday and also setting up a program of
week-end dancing in the near future. There would
be a slight charge to cover the cost of the janitor’s
fee. These would run the same way as the regular
school dances, and I feel sure you will find them most
enjoyable. The plan is still very young and any opin-
ion by the student body will be appreciated. These
darices will not go through unless we can have full
student cooperation, as the Athletic Council cannot
afford to spend any more money which is not directly
for athletic needs.

Manager of Basketball.

Senior Spotlight
This is the first in a series of in-
terviews with outstanding members
of the Senior class.
Don Fouc2ult, ‘42, is a familiar
figure around school. To those who
don’t know him by name, he is the
fellow who makes Milnites gather
round everytime he sits down at the
piano.
Don's interest in music dates from
his eighth year, when he began tak-
ing piano lessons. The lesscns ceased
when he was eleven, and since then
Don has been his own te2cher. He’s
done some composing and arrang-
ing and practiced for several hours
every day. At present, and for the
past few years, he has been pianist
for Bill Grattan’s Orchestra. His
hope for the future is to make a go
of his musical career, “But if I
don’t succeed in that, Ill go to bus-
iness college,” says Den,
Some of Don’s favorites are: Or-
chestra, Glenn Miller; popular piece,
Autumn Nocturne; Classical music
(That's O.K. too.) Scarf Dance by
Chaminade and “Prelude” by Chop-
in; Author, F. Van Wyck Mason;
and other interests, reading good
books and sleeping. .
Music does not keep Don from
being active in school affairs. This
is proven by the fact that he is this
year president of Theta Nu Literary
Society. Still, music comes first, and
we all admire Don’s natural talent
and ambition when he says “I think
that music is about the grandest
stuff going, and just now, I don't
think I'd trade it for enything else.”
The Juke Box
y “Book’’
I'll Never Forget — Fooled—Hal
MclIntyre—This is “Hal's” first re-
cording for Victor and it shows that
he has a versatile organization and
will have an up-and-coming band in
the music world this year. The sax
section carries both arrangements
solidly yet sweetly backed by muted
trumpets. Carl Denny whose vocal
is only mediocre, however, shows
promise.
Someone’s Rockin’ My Dream-
boat—You Don’t Know What Love
Is—Benny Goodman. The first side
is a very good number featuring
sweet section work; Art London's
smooth vocal and B.G.’s usual out-
standing solo work. Despite this, by
far the greatest work is Mel Pow-
ell’s sterling piano work at the end
of the vocal. It’s sensational! Flip-
ping over the disc, we have a low-
down blues number with London
handling a moody vocal.
*Tis Autumn — Arthur Murray
Taught Me Dancing—Alvino Rey—
The King Sisters do both numbers
and ‘they “do ‘em up brown.” They
have the best waxing of ‘Tis Au-
tumn that Yours Truly has heard

novelty that the Kings and the
whole band puts over with a bang.
A-1 for dancing.
How About You—Winter Weather
—Tommy Dorsey—The Dorsey crew
scored a knockout with a great re-
cord of a smooth number. Frank
Sinatra hands a swell performance
in the vocal spot. The Pied Pipers
are featured on the other side of the
disc. This record is a real comer so
tab it for future reference.

Many things have been happening
during the past week and I am
going to tell you a few of these in-
teresting incidents now.
Basketball games are in full swinz
now and the girls’ intrzmural sche-
dule is turning out well. The seventh
and eighth grades are progressing
well and there are many new pros-
pects for Milne’s future varsity.
Monday afternoon the sophomores
tackled the freshmen. Although the
sophomores won the game, they had
quite a bit of trouble in the second
half evading the freshmen guards.
The final score was 10-3 in favor
of the sophomores. The points were
evenly distributed between the three
forwards. The sophomores have a
good chance of winning the cham-
pionship game on Gym Night,
Junior-Senior Game
Following the freshman-sopho-
more game the juniors and seniors
played an exciting game. For the
first time in three weeks the seniors
had a full team. This proved to be
a vital factor because the game was
very hard fought and very exciting.
Although “Ket” thriiled the spec-
tators with thirteen points the game
ended in a tie, The seniors forwards,
holding their own in the second half
helped win the game with their
flashy guards holding down the oth-
er forwards. Boicey accounted for
nine points for the seniors and
Smithy and Sal netted the rest be-
tween them. The final score was
16-16. The seniors showed a defin-
ite improvement in this game, and
have a good chance to shellac the
juniors in the championship game
followed by a meeting of the par-
Milne Victorious
When Milne played Saint Agnes
last weekend, the sophomore, junior,
and senior teams downed all three
of their opponents by good scores.
Miss Hitchcock deserves a lot of
credit for this feat. The Saint Agnes
school has a very strong and sharp-
shooting team. Milne finally suc-
ceeded in showing them who was
master.

‘Ball Games from
St. Agnes School
St, Agnes’ sophomores, junior and
senior basketball teams opposed the
Milne teams Friday afternoon, Feb-
ruary 13, in Page Hall Gym in a
basketb2ll meet.
Both schools’ teams played very
well, but Milne won all three games.
The score was 12-6 for the Senior
game. The junior team, led by Ruth
Ketler, Miriam Steinhardt and Mzr-
jorie Wricht were victors with a
score of 13-7. Jean Freedman and
Jean Dorsey led the sophomores to
an 8-2 victory.
Each team played only two quar-
ters because of lack of time for the
use of the Gym.
Milne girls participating were:
Jean Dorsey, Jean Freedman, Inez
Warshaw, Betty Baskin, Patricia
Peterson, Dorotha Chauncey, Wil-
ma French and Jean Figarsky, so-
phomores; Ruth Ketler, Marjorie
Wright, Miriam Steinhardt, Ruth

Doris Spector, juniors; Priscilla

Baldwin and Lois Ambler, seniors.

Today’s game is the biggest on
the Milne schedule and it should
provide plenty of fireworks. Schuy-
ler has an excellent team and it
will really be something to beat
them.
Last Friday's game was very dis-
appointing for the Milne fans of
whom there were not many at the
game.
Beautiful School
‘The fans at the Columbia tilt went
around marveling at the building; it
certainly is a beautiful affair for a
school. The gymnasium is one of
the best in the area. It has a very
good floor and the gym itself is
enough for anyone to want to go
there.
It seems funny that the first time
Milne is upset, it is the time that
we get the biggest writeup in the
newspaper.
Jayvee Scores 42
The Jayvee game last Friday was
the first game that the Milne JV
scored over 30 points in one game.
They did a good job and scored 42

Girls Win Three Red Raiders Will Face
Schuyler Falcons Tonight
Game Scheduled for
Four O'clock in Gym
Milne plays host to its toughest
opponent of the court season to-
day, when it faces the Philip
Schuyler Falcons in Page Hall gym.
The Falcons, under the coaching
of Larry O'Neil, are one of the best
quintets of the Albany area. Their
record stands at 9 won to 2 lost,
one of the best in the city.
In their last tilt, the Falcons
overcame the Red Raiders on Hack-
ett court 34-30 in a very exciting
contest. The Milne Junior Varsity
defeated the Schuyler Jayvees by
the narrow margin of 27-26.
The Milne record for the season
so far is 7 won against 5 lost. The
JV record stands at a very impres-
sive 9 won and only 2 lost. They
have been beaten only by Bethlehem
Central and Columbia.
The tilt tonight should prove to
be one of the most exciting games
of the season for the Milne forces,
Every Milne student should at-
tend this game and give the team
some real support. The Junior Var-
sity encounter will begin at 4:00.
Milne will journey to Wappingers
Falls tomorrow night for a second
engagement in two nights. A Milne
bus is going to the game. It is
about a three hour trip down the
river on this side of the Hudson.
Last year Wappingers Falls de-
feated Milne at home. They have a
strong team and this should be a
good game.
7th Graders Form
He-man Outing Club
by Allan Gould
It was nine o’clock in the morning
in all seventh grade homerooms a
certain day two weeks ago when
Robert Warsh, 47, walked into the
various seventh grades and disturb-
ed their thoughts and decisions con-
cerning their choice of various Jun-
ior High Clubs.
Many seventh graders already had
their club preference on paper but
Bob announced that a new club
which was first discussed among the
students and then with Mr. Bulger
was in the process of being formed,
and that at the present the club re-
quired more students and anyone
who wished to join was welcome. He
explained that the club was to be
called “The Outdoor Camping Club.”
The following Wednesday the club
met and there Bob Warsh was elect-
ed chairman. The club demonstrat-
ed artiticial respiration and other
far better than the one which was
defeated by Columbia last month.
Saturday night's game at Wappin-
gers Falls will be no pleasure for
the Red Raiders after a night with
Schuyler. Those boys in the country
are pretty big fellows.

Organize Jr.C&W
The first meeting of the second
semester for the Junior School
Newspaper Club took place Wednes-
day afternoon, February 11, in room
230 under the direction of Miss El-
sie Ferber, campus adviser.
Plans were discussed for a Junior
School Edition of the Crimson anv
Wuire which would be issued later
in the semester, to be mimeograph-
ed and planned by the Junior School
staff.
News editors from each grade
were appointed to procure more in-
dividual class news. The editors ar
Class of 1947, Alan Gould; Class of
1946, Margaret Call.
Up to this date every member of
the club has received an assignment
for the weekly issues of the Crim-
SON AND Wuits, and will continue to
do so.
In addition to Miss Ferber, two
other new campus advisers have
been added to the personnel of the
Crimson aNd Wire. They are Miss
Shirley Wurz and Mr. Gene Guarino,
of the State College News. They are
working with Miss Virginia Polhe-
mus, who has been associated with
the paper since last fall.
Ambler vs. Mouse;
Mouse vs. Shaver
A mouse thought that it needed
leducation, so, last Friday it crept
| into the first floor hall of Milne. The
| sight of so many students must have
| caused it to die of fright, for sure
enough, it lay dead on the floor
near the senior girls’ homeroom, 130.
Lois Ambler, tripping gaily to her
homeroom, chanced to step on it,
and not quietly, emitted a scream
that would do justice to any “Gang
Busters” program. At least, it
brought out the senior boys’ home-
room, 135, en masse, to see what was
“cooking.”
But Miss Shaver, homeroom
teacher, was quicker on the draw,
and bravely reached down and pick-
ed up the poor innocent mouse, put-
ting it in the refuse can. Miss Amb-
ler merely leaned against the wall,
laughing at her loss of spirit.

Jansing Announces
New Traffic Rules

“The students, as a whole must
show more cooperation with the
traffic officers in maintaining the
rules established at the beginning
of the school year.”
Thus spoke John Jansing, captain
of the traffic squad, concerning the
confusion which has been occurring
in the halls. It seems that a definite
set of rules which every Milne stu-
dent is compelled to follow, was
formed by the traffic officers and
Mr. Bulger this past fall.
The general belief of the squad
and the faculty is that these rules
have not been enforced to the full
extent. The squad mentioned that
the students “have been warned
time and time again but completely
ignore what they are told. They con-
tinue to add and create a great deal
of noise and confusion, which could
be avoided.
“This is the last warning, and af-
ter this the squad will act as they
see fit,” stated the traffic captain.
