A STUDENT SPEAKS
In my opinion, student participation in Milne has
been rapidly decreasing. Assumption of individual
responsibilities, the very essence of our school spirit,
seems to be a vanishing Milne tradition. The new
trend is toward student apathy, and the general feeling
is: let someone else worry about running Milne; I've
got to do my homework.
Last year’s “spirited” budget assembly could be con-
sidered a low point in our school’s history of student
government. It is my feeling that the lack of discus-
sion at this meeting was not a result of total agreement
about the budget, but rather a result of lack of knowl-
edge and interest on the part of the students. I would
like to see a change this year.
I'm not trying to lay the blame on the student
council. It does a fine job in preparing the budget
and would welcome more student participation. Stu-
dent apathy is not its fault, but the fault of the indi-
viduals of the student body.
Milnites are aware that most of their student tax
goes to a few large organizations, but few realize that,
even so, these groups have financial woes. A shortage
of funds has seriously reduced the size of this year’s
Bricks and Ivy. The M.G.A.A. fought for years to get
new cheerleading uniforms. Our baseball and tennis
teams still lack a pitching machine. There is obviously
room for improvement.
Perhaps budget difficulties could be solved if the
proposed budget were printed in the Crimson and
White a week or so before the budget assembly. This
would give students a better chance to study the
budget and form their opinions of it. Organizations
which requested an increase in their annual allotment
could state their reasons for doing so.
There is still plenty of school spirit in Milne. A
small individual effort by every Milnite can put the
student back in our student government!

ITES
Volleyball is over (I'm sorry to
say). This year it was very profit-
able, and I learned a lot.
For instance, never argue with
anyone about the score; it will get
you nowhere fast.
Two—don't spike the ball on your
opponent's head when she's sitting
down; it’ HM only get her mad.
And above all, don’t get stuck
taking down the nets. There
several ways to avoid this,
can develop something deathly dur-
ing the game and have to leave, but.
this is cowardly, Don’t wear any-
thing unusual like colored socks,
red sneakers, plaid shoelaces, a
bathing suit or skis to class, because
you will catch Miss Murray’s eye
and be sure to be singled out for her
committee. Don't raise your voice
above a dull shout, and don’t be
on a losing team. There, that’s
simple enough, isn’t it?
We finally started basketball in
gym class, I was asleep on my feet
and almost got my—ah—teeth
knocked out, Charming. If you're
not tired enough after running up
and down the gym for forty minutes,
you can always bounce up and down
on the tramp for a while in G.A.A,
(that is, if the mats aren’t down in
the Little gym).
The C & W-B & I dance is com-
ing right up, and with it the an-
nouncement of the new staffs. Just
think! One of you lucky, lucky
girls will be the glad recipient of
this column. Lots of and best of—
that’s all I can say. Oh, and have
fun trying to think of a title for
it. Reed Rites may be pretty poor,
but I’m just glad my name isn’t

It was the second victory of the

the way, enjoying quarterly spreads
of 14-2, 29-5 and 42-9. Mike Dag-

By Three Points
The Crimson dropped to its low-
est point this season when it lost|’
contests to underdogs Columbia and
Mohonasen, by respective margins
of two points and one point.
Milne handed Columbia its firs
win of the campaign by a 54-52
score. The Raiders led all the way,
holding quarterly leads of 17-11,
27-25 and 42-35, before the visitors
began to control the backboards,
In the final stanza, Milne played
pitifully, The team couldn’t hit
from the field, and the rebounding
of Columbia's Burek and Draper
controlled the ball for the visitors.
Grogan scored 14 markers, and
Blabey had 12. Burek of Columbia’s
24 points was high for the contest.
Mohonasen Gains Revenge
A group of tenth graders dealt
Milne a 71-70 blow on the Draper
High school floor February 8 to
avenge a setback suffered earlier in
the season.
The Raiders weren’t even in the
game until the last quarter, trailing
18-16, 42-29 and 58-48 at the quar-
ter
Then Milne caught fire and be-
gan to play good basketball, but it
was a little too late. The Crimson
narrowed the margin to a point, but
Mohonasen was not to be denied
as it held on to gain an upset vic-
tory,
Kip Grogan played his finest
game, scoring 25 points and control-
ling the backboards for Milne. But
opponent Ross Sausville’s 30 points,
14 from the foul line, featured the
contest.
Foul Shots Costly
The Crimson outscored their op-
ponents from the field, but were
beaten from the foul line. Colum-
bia trailed by six points from the
field but popped in sixteen one-
pointers to Milne’s eight.

Milne’s bid for an upset victory
the Bethlehem Central Eagles
was thwarted in the second half of
their game played on the latter's
court on January 31, The Raidei
over
matched the defending league
champs basket for basket in the
first two quarters. The quarterly
scores were 11-10 and 29-26,
But B. C. looked like a new club
after the intermission, They opened
up the Milne defense and used a
fast break to hold a lead of 43-34 at
the end of three periods. The
Raiders tried desperately to cut
down the nine-point advantage, but
they were unable to. The final
score was 60-45,
Milne Routs Chatham
The anmen gained revenge
for an earlier 72-69 setback at the
hands of Chatham and also broke a
two-game losing streak by downing
the “Bats”, 50-34, February 3.
The Raiders jumped out to a 14-5
first period lead and opened up to
28-12 at halftime. Kip Grogan and
Blabey accounted for twenty
points in the first half.
The third qi resulted in the
home team taking a 40-18 advan-
tage. Chatham began to move in
the final period but it wasn’t enough
as Milne captured its fifth win of
the season against six setbacks.

in the first Milne-Chatham game
but was held

Dobson led Chatham with ten

Milne a triple victory, won by
scores of 57-11 and 39-34, This

Milne Drops Four
Of Five Contests
The Albany academy Cadets
showed an all-round attack that
overwhelmed Milne’s Red Raiders
by a 74-53 tally. The game was
played on the former's court on
February 14,
Coach Al Sabisch of Academy
started three players over 6 fect,
three inches. The Cadets used their
distinct height advantage to con-
trol the backboards, and also
worked a fast break very effectively.
This also was the result of our poor
defense, especially in the backcourt.
Raiders Trail All the Way
Academy led all the way, holding
leads of 22-13, 47-21 and
Bill Cross sparked the
scoring attack with 22
points, Bob Blabey and Kip
Grogan scored 16 and 13 points to
again lead Milne.
Another big factor in the game
was that Milne was outshot, 84-54,
from the field. Most of the Raiders’
field attempts were from outside of
fifteen feet. The Cadets’ height ad-
vantage enabled them to shoot
from further in.
League Race Close
The Capital District league race
is one of the closest in its history.
s of February 22, Bethlehem cen-
tral and Van Rensselaer held 7-2
records, Academy was third with
a 5-8 ledger. Milne, Shenendehowa,
end Columbia had been eliminated.
Yet the league is so well-balanced
that on a given night any club can
defeat a league foe. This was evi-
denced by Shenendehowa's recent
vistories over S. and
B. C. H.S. The Raiders will have
an opportunity to settle the league
race when they tangle with the
powerful Rams tonight and the
Cadets on March 8 at Page Hall.

Hobbies Bring
Fun, Frustration
By KATIE SIMMONS
I was sitting here, working on a
model airplane, when I suddenly re-
membered that my column is due.
Enthralled as I was by my new
hobby, I immediately decided to put
off writing the column until later .
. So here I am. You know, a
hobby is really a wonderful thing;
everyone should have one, Take
my hobby, for instance: building
model airplanes. The first question
that probably pops into your mind
is, “Why on earth would a girl want
to make model airplanes?” It’s
really very simple, Some people
sew, some people study .. . I make
model airplanes.
I must admit I’m not very ex-
perienced. To date I have made
exactly one plane, but I have learned
quite a bit. The first thing every-
one must know that directions
if you can de-
cipher them. The most annoying
part of assembling a plane is that
all pieces are clearly marked—on the
directions only. The pieces them-
selves are clean as a whistle.
Occupational Hazards
I've only had a few mishaps, how-
ever, I started out by setting up
all the pieces on the dining room
table. When they were all neatly
arranged, my mother came in and
told me to clear the table and set
it for dinner, That didn’t discourage
me, however. I calmly placed all
of the pieces back into the box and
threw them away.
After dinner, I had a change of
heart and retrieved the box from
our wastepaper basket to proceed
again, This time, all went well (well,
almost all). I found every piece
needed for the first step in the
directions, opened the glue and
promptly spilled it all over our ex-
tendable dining room table (it no
longer extends; all the leaves are
held firmly in place by that guaran-
teed-to-stick, all-purpose glue).
The glue manufacturers, fiends
that they are, neglected to tell me
that their product doesn’t really
stick things together; it melts and
fuses them. Consequently, all the
lovely plastic windows of my craft
look as if it were very cold outside
and the defroster didn’t work.
In spite of these minor catastro-
phes, I finished the plane and it now
sits triumphantly on the mantel-
piece, a testimonial to all non-be-
lievers that I once had a hobby.
You, Too, Can Have a Hobby!
sare that short-
lived, however. There is always
bird-watching (which literally re-
wards you with a pain in the neck),
woodburning (I never could figure
out why people don’t just burn the
wood with a match; besides, it
doesn’t smell half as bad that way)
and collecting grasshoppers.
There is a hobby for you! All
you need is an overabundance of
spare time which you would like to
waste constructively, an unheard-of
amount of money and an awful lot
of patience, As a final bit of advice
I would like to tell you, “Don’t
bother; it’s too darn much trouble.”

POETS CORNER
Lights Fail at Milne
On a gay Friday or Saturday eve,
We all tidy up and button our
sleeve,
For we have a very important date
To be bored this night and go to
bed late.
To our knowledge Page gym had
lights,
Except on these particular nights.
The seventh graders tried to rem-
edy the situation, only to be rudely
rebuked
By the big and all-knowing ninth
graders
With much edjucation.
Although the committee on music
had many good records, which were
scratched and broken,
They forgot to include
Beethoven
But luckily for Beethoven they
didn’t play him for the microphone
Sounded like a clogged-up tele-
phone.
The boys stayed at home,
While the girls stood alone.
So here's a suggestion, dear stu-
dent council and all Milne students,
Next time have a party and have
some bright moments.
—Bobby Berberian
Two Poems
All tears of Everyworld
Are mirrors reflecting cause
But look within
Each one a prism
Fathomless and bright
Breaking emotion into elementals.

Night will never fall
Day will never come for him
He died at twilight
And captured evanescent Sunset
In his soul.

April Campus
Shiny blue serge sky
Seat of a Dutchan’s pants?
Perchance,
Winter's by.
Pristine snow has kissed the earthen
cheek
And warm with knowledge, run,
Flash of bucks in the sun.
