Administrative Switch
Milne will miss Dr. Fossieck greatly during
his one year leave of absence. He will gain
new ideas for Milne and enhance Milne’s
reputation by research and writing, but Milne
life will not be the same and the juniors in
many cases will not see Dr. Fossieck again.
As the change takes place, adjustments by
both the student body and the administration
will undoubtedly be needed. Hopefully the
transition will be an easy one.
Milne’s Secondary Status
One part of the makeup of Milne is its in-
herent subservience to the needs of the uni-
versity.
In some cases Milne seems to be seriously
hurt by its secondary status, which may dam-
age its ability to be a proper teacher training
or experimental school as well as having un-
fortunate effects on Milne students.
Some of the Milne supervisors who teach
courses in the university seem to give them
priority, possibly shortchanging their Milne
classes. In other cases, university teachers
have been hastily imported for temporary duty
and have not been adequately prepared for
the transition from college to high school
teaching.
Many of the other abuses that arise will be
remedied when the university moves to the
new campus, but the ones that arise out of
the use of the faculty are the most serious and
hardest to recognize and stop.
TO ALL MARK CONSCIOUS:
It doesn’t pay to worry about your marks until June,
or, at the very earliest, until May.
‘The way our marking system now works, one may
receive B’s until the June report period, receive a C
at that time and a C on the final exam and one is left
with a C for the entire year. Or, one may receive all
D's, work hard, and in June raise one’s average to
aC,
This system works well for the student who “hacks
around” all year, studies in June, and brings his final
grade up a lettergrade or so; the system is not so well
liked by the earnest student who studies all year, be-
comes bogged down with work during the last term
and receives a final grade lower than the one he has
achieved for three marking periods and at midterm.
In determining the final average, teachers consider
semester grades only. If the grades of the two sem-
esters are the same, the student receives that grade.
However, when the two semester averages differ, the
second semester, consider as a true representation of
th knowledge of the entire year’s work, is weighted
more heavily.
On the surface, this system seems pretty fair. How-
ever, in many cases the system is faulty. Individual
term averages have little bearing when final “averages”
are computed; although the student may have a 92
average for the first semester, if his second semester
age is below 85 the student receives a C for the
year. The student with BA, B, CB, C receives a C,
the student earning CD, C, BC, B receives a B, is this
fair?
Exceptions to this system are rare. “Any deviations
from this should be clearly explainable to students
and parents. Since final examination marks are used
as the second semester examination mark, a very ‘high
or low mark would affect the second semester mark
and should be used to affect the entire year mark
only in very unusual situations,” states a letter to the
faculty from the administration.
It is true that the knowledge gained during the sec-
ond semester, or during the last term, depends on
knowledge obtained during the rest of the year—but
if one does well all year and falls slightly at the year’s
end why is he given so little for his work? ‘

CD TO CHV: SURVEY
Milne is transferring from the
Capital District League to the Cen-
tral Hudson Valley League, This
means that Milne will now play, in
all sports, schools nearer our own
size. Some controversy has arisen
over the value of this switch; a
number of Milnites were asked for
their opinions on the league change.
Coach Lewis feels that “This is
one of the best things that ever hap-
pened to our school, It will give our
students, especially athletes, a
chance to participate on a plane of
their own level. We'll have more
winning records in the future, The
new league change will benefit the
school,
Says:
Dennis ‘O'Neil: “I don’t see - that
changing leagues will make any
great improvement in either school
or team spirit, The fact that we
are not on top of our own league
is not sufficient reason for a switch.”
Sue Edwards; “I just hope this
switch isn’t going to knock the
pride of the boys. But one thing
for sure, we'll win more games!
Maybe after we've had a few real
winning seasons we can switch back.
A crowd is more likely to cheer if
the team is winning. I want to
cheer with an enthusiastic crowd.”
h: “The other schools
will be our size, so we'll stand a
better chance in the competition , . .”
“The switch is to
But we are
part of the future and feel that the
change wouldn’t be beneficial. Sure,
we may have lost in the past, but
this year’s 9-9 record is an indica-
tion of things to come with the right
attitude. Are we supposed to run
from our past or are we supposed to
improve the future? By staying in
the CD league, a well rounded
sports program would be maintained
with a better quality of sports
overall.”
Bob Blanton: “The competition
was good right where we were. But
people would like to see us win
more games, Who will they blame
if we don’t have a winning season.
Will it be our fault? The competi
tion in CD is good, but it is also a
challenge . I think people use being
in the CD as an excuse for dosing.
When 1 play, I play to win no mat-
ter who I play against. I feel that
good competition will better my
basketball ability.”
Other pros and cons were: longer
bus rides, more expensive bus rides,
no competition for the cheerleaders,
small gyms.
Schoolhouse Success
Even if, according to WRGB,
Milne’s success on the “Little
Red Schoolhouse” does not refiect
upon the teaching at Milne, the
success does reflect upon the
Milne student and the intellec-
tual atmosphere at Milne. Con-
gratulations to the team for its
well crowned efforts.

The Scope Project
By PAULA BOOMSLITER
The Summer Community Organization and Political Education Project
(SCOPE) has selected Lance Nelson (’65) and Milne alumnus Bill Leue
(762) to be sent to the South’s “black belt” communities this summer,
June 15 - August 28.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)-sponsored
SCOPE project intends to alleviate the condition of Negroes in selected
counties in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Virginia by attacking political disenfranchisement, educational de-
privation, and poverty.
SCOPE volunteer workers, in cooperation with local leadership, will
conduct extensive voter-registration drives, attempt to unify and coordi-
nate the Negro voters under competent local leadership, and hold evening
classes in basic politics, English, and arithmetic as well as in practical
subjects—how to apply for Social Security, how to fill out a voter-regis-
tration form.
In addition, they will help establish Neighborhood Youth Corps proj-
ects and Community Actions programs as outlined in Federal “War on
Poverty” legislation, and generally help to implement other Federal
programs,
‘Workers will live with local families whenever possible, and will be
supervised by trained SCLC staff members.
Volunteers are chosen by screening committees and SCOPE recruiting
teams in local chapters, on the basis of intelligence, experience, sincerity,
and general character and attitude, but final acceptance and continued
activity of all workers is in the hands of the SCLC. Selected workers will
receive intensive theoretical and field training by SCLC before any actual
field work is done.
SENIOR S
POTLIGHT
By PAUL SCHRODT
Carol Lynch, Frank
Marshall, Margaret Hardmeyer, Paul Korotkin.
MARGARET HARDMEYER
When “Maggie”? Hardmeyer
learned that she would be featured
in our last “Spotlight,” she ex-
pressed profound amazement at her
selection. After silencing her cries
of “I’m not really very interesting,”
I learned that Maggie has been quite
active since coming to Milne from
Vincentian. She is presently a
member of FHA and Quin, and, in
addition, serves as President of the
Ambassadors.
Maggie feels that Milne students
do not show enough enthusiasm for
school activities, which could pos-
sibly be the result of too many clubs
and other organizations.
Next year, Maggie plans to attend
SUNY at Albany, where she will
major in sociology. ‘
FRANK MARSHALL
The treasurer of this year’s Senior
Class is Frank Marshall, or Buddy,
as he is commonly known.
In addition, he has been a mem-|
ber of Milnemen for two years, and
he was also chosen to the National
Honor Society. Bud played varsity
basketball and served as co-captain
of this year’s varsity cross-country
team.
Buddy feels that interest and
participation in the school’s activi-
ties could be increased if students
from outside of Milne were included
in these programs.
Bud has been accepted at Car-
negie Institute of Technology, where
he plans to study electrical engi-
neering with the help of a scholar-
ship grant.
PAUL KOROTKIN
On December 5, 1947, Paul Korot-
kin made his auspicious entrance
into the: world, shouting “Let’s go
over” (to Stewart's).
Paul has found time for quite a
few activities. He served as treas-
urer of the Junior Student Council,
and he is currently occupying him-
self as vice-president of the Senior
Student Council. His other activi-
ties include membership on the golf
and bowling teams.
What changes should be made in
Milne? Turning more serious, Paul
replied that the National Honor So-
ciety should be open to all students
with 2.0 averages. He does feel,
however, that a numerical marking
system would be more effective.
This fall, Paul will be heading for
Syracuse University.
CAROL LYNCH
Carol Lynch, although not by her
own admission, is one of Milne’s
most active students. She is cur-
rently President of both Milnettes
and Music Council, as well as being
a member of both Quin and MGAA.
Carol’s girls’ sports column appears
regularly in the C&W, and her liter-
ary talents are also exercised as
secretary of the Senior Class.
Carol’s interests include reading
and “running around,” and she re-
quested that Ted also be included
in this category. When asked what
she would do to improve Milne,
Carol finally replied, “Why don’t we
just move out to the campus?”
The fall of ’65 will find Carol at

Stones Roll Into Alban
“Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richard
Blue jeans, suede jackets and long hair were the order for the night.
The music had a definite beat and the crowd was loud and enthusiastic.
The stars were the Rolling Stones from Britain.
Since they are celebrities and I
had a chance to meet and photo-
graph them, I rushed down to the
Palace Theater on a Thursday eve-
There I was! In the dressing
rooms of the Rolling Stones! But
wait! Those screeching girls! Yes,
more winners.
ning to catch their performance, and
possibly even get an interview
‘As expected, I received permission
from the man from WTRY to visit
the Stones. I was ushered to the
door of their dressing rooms, where,
unfortunately, I was not alone.
Twenty-five other people, mostly
girls, were also waiting to meet
them. They were the contest win-
ners, and they seemed a bit more
anxious to meet the five singers
than I. Luckily, the usher had con-
nections. In a few moments...
Milne’s Menagerie
By BARRY PRESS
If one could understand the lan-
guage of the birds, one would not
only pick up a lot of gossip (mostly
crude biology about their associa~
tion with the bees) but one would
hear that the Milne School has been
nominated “The Best Aviary for
Pigeons in the Capital District” by
members of the Board of Good
Nestkeeping, Yes, once again the
flutter of wings can be heard in the
courtyard of Milne, along with other
more tangible evidence.
Like the swallows of Capistrano,
the pigeons of Milne are, if not any-
thing more, an object of conversa-
tion, and people are certainly talk-
ing about them. (Some people are
found talking to them, but as yet
they haven't received any replies).
Two pigeons in particular are a
source of great talk and even con-
cern to some of the more emotional
students.
On a dirty little balcony jutting
out into an inclosed courtyard, there
lives a newly born pigeon and his
grey-feathered mother. These two
feathered figures brave the peril of
the sometimes harsh weather, fierce
predators and demented students
who, while just “fooling around,”
endanger the very existence of these
friendly fowl.
What is to become of these un-
protected birds who live in constant
danger? (At this point, there is
usually a voice which says, “Tune
in next week and find out.”) Various
solutions have been suggested, such
as a foster parent plan for pigeons
and a take a pigeon to lunch pro-
gram (destined to at least enhance
the diet of the one who does the
taking). Next week in homeroom
you may vote for the solution of
your choicé.
They were worse
than the girls outside!
Just when I was giving up hope,
I saw a young man walking down
the corridor. He was wearing a
suede jacket, blue jeans and high
boots; his hair was extremely long
and extremely blond with long
bangs. I knew it had to be Brian,
one of the Stones. 4
“Brian,” I asked, “How do you
like Albany?”
He ignored me, brushed mie aside,
and entered a room full of hysterical
contest winners. Fortunately, my
brother Chuck was along. He was
in Brian’s room armed with an in-
stamatic 100.
He was desperate. “Brian, look
here, look here! Brian, Brian, Brian,
Brian, BRIAN!
Standing dejectedly in the hall, I
watched Bill, Keith and Charlie
walk past me. All of them ignored
me but Mick, the lead singer. He
stopped to sneer at me, enabling
Chuck to snap a picture.
When the Stones finally asked for
privacy, the police obliged by push-
ing out everyone, including me.
They would not listen to my pro-
tests of “Press” or “diplomatic im-
munity,” Much to my disgust they
did listen to my brother.
Chuck had a press card and was
allowed to stay. The result is the
above picture and this interview.
Chuck: Does Ametica meet up to
your standards?
Mick: We like America very much.
Chuck: How do you like Albany?
Mick: Albany is just like England.
