Sale of Stamps
Hits New High
In Milne School
Sum Reaches $1600
In First Three Weeks
Today the sale of United States
Defense bonds and stamps reached
the approximate mark of $1603.35,
according to Dick Bates, ’43, Defense
Chairman. Of this amount the fa-
culty has bought $183.35; the Junior
School $900.00; and the Senior
School $520.00.
Whether realized or not there is a
strong competition between the Jun-
ior and Senior Schools. Dick Bates,
°43, in charge of the sale of stamps
and bonds, stated that the main
reason for the Senior School’s lag-
ging behind is the 10th grade. Be-
tween the three tenth grade home-
rooms their total is only $72.90 (ex-
act figures on Monday, February 9,
1942.) Come on, sophomores, and
show some interest.
Additions to last week’s honor roll
are:
David Packard, 327, ’46,—$100
bond; Jean Hulburlt, 124, ’46,—$25
bond; Ruth Ketler, 128, ’43, $100,—
bond; George Ferris, 128, '43,—$25
bond.
These bonds and stamps may be
purchased from homeroom repre-
sentatives in both Junior and Senior
schools. Buying stamps will take
the place of school savings on al-
ternate Wednesdays.
“America needs your help. Buy
defense bonds and stamps today
from your homeroom defense treas-
urer,” stated Bates.
Milne Mothers Learn
Red Cross First Aid
The first Red Cross First Aid
class for Milne mothers was held
from 10 A. M. to 12 A. M. on Friday
morning, the 6th of February in the
Little Theatre,
The following mothers were pres-
ent: Mrs, John Brookman, Mrs.
Frank G. Coburn, Mrs. Robert Co-
burn, Mrs. James Clark, Mrs.
Charles L. Drake, Mrs. H. J. George,
Mrs. Charles Grace, Mrs. Alfred
Haven, Mrs. W. D. Hurlbart, Mrs.
Norman Johnson, Mrs. Howard Mc-
Gregor, Mrs. James Pelletier, Mrs.
Donald B. Rider, Mrs, Dudley Rob-
enson, Mrs. F. Burton Smith, and
Mrs. Robert Vail.
There is still room for additional
enrollment.
Miss Margaret Hitchcock, in-
structor in girls’ physical education,
is in charge of the lessons. These
lessons are held two hours a week
for five weeks.
$85 on Movies
The Old-Fashioned Movie show,
presented by the senior class on Fri-
day evening, January 30, in Page
Hall auditorium, turned out to be a
financial success, according to
Charles Kosbob, 42, general chair-
man of the affair. “With over five
hundred people attending, the sen-
ior class took in a profit of over $85,”
stated Kosbob.
The feature picture, “Son of the
Sheik,” starring Rudolph Valentino,
and Vilma Barly, proved popular.
In addition an original “Our Gang”
comedy and a “Fatty” Arbuckle
short subject entitled, “The Knock-
out.”
The Milne Quartet, consisting of
Phillip Snare, ’42, George Edick, ’43,
William Leng, ’42, and Alton Wilson,
°42, sang three selections during the
second intermission. To top the
evening off, during the first inter-
mission Dr, William H. Hartly, di-
rector of Audio-Visual Education
conducted a community sing, danc-
ing a jig on the stage to the tune
of “Chattanooga Choo-Choo.”
Kosbob, in the name of the senior
class wishes to thank Dr. Hartley
for his kindness in letting them use
the movie projector.
Edwin Ketler, 44, Walter Austin,
42, and Robert Silverstein, °42,
operated the slide projector, adding
to the fun of the evening by slip-
ping a few of the slides in upside
down. Each of these boys has re-
ceived a license from Dr. Hartley
to operate a movie projector.
Jim Takes It Easy
Monday was a historic day!
For the first time in over six
years Jim was absent. It’s true.
Jim Lockman had a cold and a
sore throat, and didn’t come to
school the first few days this
week. His usual tasks of shut-
ting the windows, turning out
lights, and keeping the school in
order was taken over by Andy.
Senior High to Sponsor
Dance on February 27
The Senior School Mid-Season
Dance will be held in the State Col-
lege Lounge on Friday, February 27,
ffom 8:00 to 12:00 o'clock.
It will be an informal affair with
Miss Grace Martin, Miss Mildred
Nielson, Mr. Harlan W. Raymond,
and Dr. Ralph D. Kenney assisting

As yet, the hour is undecided and
Alton Wilson, ’42, appointed Rich-
ard Bates, ’43, Meg Hunting, ’43, and
Edward Bookstein, '43, to audition
and discuss possibilities for an or-
| chestra.

Lehman Speaks
To Joint Groups;
Grants Interview
“There Is A Job for All,’”
Says Governor in Page Hall
“High school students may very
well serve in the present situation by
offering their services to their local
defense council,” stated Governor
Herbert H. Lehman, in an exclusive
Crimson aNp Wire interview, fol-
lowing an address to a joint Milne-
State College Assembly last Friday,
February 7, in Page Hall auditor-
ium,
“There is a job for everyone at
this time,” the Governor continued,
“and I am sure that high school
students’ services can be of use to
the Defense Councils.”
The Governor addressed the as-
sembly on the topic of New York
State's role in defense. In his ad-
dress, Mr. Lehman discussed fully
the entire organization of the New
York Defense Council, and its af-
filiate groups.
Train for Defense
Over 20,000 men have been trained
in New York State for work in spe-
cialized defense industries. Techni-
cal colleges and secondary schools
throughout the nation have assist-
ed in the training, according to the
governor.
The talk also touched upon the
workings of the State Agriculture
Commission, the State Nutrition.
Committee, the Committees on
Waste Materials, and the Recreation
Committee.
Of particular note was the organ-
ization of the Rationing Board,
which functions through 250 local
boards throughout the state. In ad-
dition to the tires and sugar, many
other commodities will undoubtedly
be rationed, within a reasonable
length of time, assented the Gov-
ernor.
Room for Everyone
Touching upon the topic of volun-
teer participation, Governor Leh-
man said, “There is room in some
capacity for every man and woman
who is willing to give their time.”
“That we are going to win at long
jast, I haven’t the slightest doubt,”
stated the State’s executive, calling
upon all-out cooperation from every
citizen,
“But it will be no pushover,” he
continued. “A long and dangerous
road lies ahead.”
“Every ounce of strength and
every bit of moral and spiritual de-
termination will be required to bring
ce war to conclusion at an early
e”

Too Much Social Life
A well rounded social calendar is a very good
thing, but too much is too much. On February 27,
a Friday night, the senior high dance will take place.
One week later, March 7 to be exact, is the Quin-
Sigma Literary Society dance. This dance comes
on a Saturday night. Exactly one week later on a
Saturday night is the Hi-Y - G.A.C. dance.
Not much can be done about the nearness of dates
for the first two scheduled parties, but isn’t there
time to try and postpone the Hi-Y - G.A.C.? It
seems foolish to have three big dances on successive
weekends.
Between these dances there are a few basketball
games mixed in. The Hi-Y Carnival is March 24,
and Easter Recess starts the 25th of the month,
The Columbia Press Convention is the 12th, 13th
and 14th of March.
Tt is very easy to see the fullness of the social
schedule of our school. It seems advisable to post-
pone one or two functions till after Easter vacation.
You Can Help Too
Most students do not realize that a difficult sit-
uation has arisen in the mathematics department | «
because of Dr. Snader’s illness. Since he will be
absent for an indefinite length of time, professors of
mathematics at State College have offered to take
over his Milne classes. They are Dr. Harry Birch-
enough, Dr. Carolyn Lester, Dr. Ellen Stokes, Dr.
Ralph Beaver, and Dr. Howard DoBell, and they
are each supervising two Senior School mathematics
classes. Dr. Snader’s methods class at the college
has been taken over by Miss Mildred Neilsen, super-
visor of Junior School mathematics classes.
Briefly, all this means that the instructors who
are supervising Milne mathematics classes are
heavily burdened by their extra duties. Therefore,
it is necessary that all students taking mathematics
cooperate as much as possible, in order to make
their classes successful for themselves and their
teachers.

| Milne Merry-go-round |)
| Last week-end proved quite strenuous with the strain
of the basketball game Friday night . . . It certainly
was encouraging to see so many spectators there and
everyone showing so much school spirit... It just
shows that the whole school is behind the team . . .
Even the Alumni were there, such as Jessie Doran,
Bob Mapes, Sellick Mintline, Art Phinney and Bill
Wiley... Another ardent fan who was right on the
job with the towels was Pete Ball! . . . Some of those
who went out afterwards were June Black and Hal
Game, Audrey Blume ard Jack Casner, and June
Bailey and Harry Sue Hoyt, Dick Bates, Jean
Dorsey, “Chuck” pkins, and about 20 other en-
thusiasts were seen later up at Joe’s . . . Let's hope
the team does as well tonight, but then, why should
we have any doubts! .. . So much for basketball . . .
.. It seems as though Saturday night was
movie night for Marcia Schifferdecker, Fred Det-
wiler, Corrinne Edwards and Allan Ely. They were
munching on huge ham sandwiches, afterwards, at
(we won't say where!) and they managed to mumble
a few words about being to the movies . . . Good pic-
ture? ...um... The bus for Wappinger Falls is
filling up fast, if it isn’t full already, so everyone
who hasn’t signed the list yet, and wants to go, better
put his John Hancock on pronto! .. . It promises to
be loads of fun and quite an occasion for Milnites . . .
Kinderhook was a good example . . . Monday’s black-
out found about 10 Milnites at Willie Leng’s for a black-
out party .. . They're getting popular . . . Everyone's
going patriotic these days .. . John Poole has a V for
Victory tie . . . George Myers has a new red, white and
blue bedspread, and even Dr. Frederick has red, white
and blue suspenders! .. . The Senior High party is set
for the 27th, so get busy boys and ask your dates.
A Passing Thought
Comments of a Freshman—“Yes, the Junior High
Party Saturday night was very nice, but I can hardly
wait until next year when I’m in Senior High”
“Gee, did you ever see so many little kids in all your
life? . . . It’s about time ninth grade girls started
going to dances with ninth grade boys Helen
Huntington, and Jim Detwiler certainly make an at-
tractive couple, don’t they? . Imagine three good
looking red-heads all in one class! What, you don’t
know who they are? Well, you just won't till they
begin going to Senior High dances and then you'll
know them. Gee, just one more year!”
Comments of a Sophomore—Well, it may be fun to
belong to a society, but being initiated is another story!
Still, it was fun, though ‘Wonder if Sigma will
be as “unmerciful” as the Quin girls? Always
will remember Inez Warshaw going around the Lounge
showing the string of beads she didn’t string, to the
members of Quin Just think, our first Quin-
im.
Sigma! Hope Joe didn’t think two months ahead was
too soon to ask him . After all, first come, first
serve
Comments of a Junior—Wonder if the seniors will
leave anything to us in their Last Will And Testament
. . Gee, it sure will seem funny not to see the
fellows grouped around Don at the piano every noon
You can see those junior boys a half a mile
away, with the red hats they wear ‘Three new
junior girls this year, and two Taylors (no relation)
. . Meg Hunting and Chuck Cross making up the
latest junior couple (and a very nice one, at that) .
Betty Jane Southwell and Hilda Schilling ‘still constant
(and very welcome) visitors at Milne affairs... Jean
Chauncey, still recuperating from her trip to Washing-
ston, which we hear was a success . . .
Comments of a Senior—Well, one more semester .. .
Practices for Class Night will start soon . Then
exams, and finally graduation—doesn’t seem possible

What's What in
New York
February and Valentines go to-
gether, and just like every other
hamlet in this great country of ours,
New York is getting misty-eyed and
sentimental about the happy day.
The shop-windows are full of early-
blooming bits of lace and hearts,
but the ones that will be most ap-
preciated are those that are hand-
m2de and dispatched with personal
wishes. This idea is not new to you
nimble-fingered wizards of the
needle, and is further proof we pre-
sent the illustrated dress, as sweet
a Valentine as anyone could wish.
This is the month of holidays,
and in New York a lot of the boys
and girls will be celebrating George
Weshington’s birthday at the Sun-
day night ice hockey games that
are a feature of the winter season at
Madison Square Garden. Perhaps
you've been listening to the matches
over the radio, but it is impossible
to describe adequately the color and
excitement of the smoke-filled
arena. Add this to your list of
Things to See in New York, and add
the above dress to your list of
Things to Wear. It will look right
for any daytime or evening date,
and it’s ever so easy to make.
Something worth mentioning is the
magnificient job of turn-about that
has been done on the site of the
New York's Fair of 1939-1940. Tt has
been transformed into a gigantic
playground, and you can skate in-
doors on wheels or runners, depend-
ing on how well-balanced you are!
To The Editor

Dear Editor:~
I want to thank you and those on
the staff of the Crimson anp Witte
for the very nice article about me,
but I think you built me up a little
too much.
It’s getting a little cool down here,
but we're still swimming. We have
to go to school every day and it’s
pretty tough. Well, good luck to the
newspaper and to the boys on the
basketball team. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
John Dyer.

The new posture exercises are ex-
pected to bring about a transforma-
tion in the Milne girl, but at this
stage they are only making a lot of
new aches and pains. Marie Edwards
had to go home on a bus after her
first try at them. And she used to
walk, rain or shine.
Wednesday before last, two mixed
teams of juniors, seniors, and State
College girls played a fast game,
ending with Midge Wright, Mickey
Baldwin, Mel Levine, and in fact,
most of the team, ready for the
emergency ward of any hospital.
Athletes Come Back for More
‘That day was nothing compared to
the mass murder that occurred Fri-
day afternoon. The Milne varsity
‘was supposed to play the Sate Frosh,
and they went to the gym with the
glow of battle in their eyes, only to
discover that the State team had
apparently “forgotten” their engage-
. Ment. So the Milne teams proceded
to let off steam by beating each |
other to a shredded wheat biscuit.
Somehow the referees got lost in
the shuffle, and from then on it was
just a mild form of aerial football,
Jansing, Clarke, and Ball were three
very interested spectators, who win-
ced each time Potter tackled “Ket.” | j
Juniors and Seniors Battle
There was a game between the
juniors and seniors Monday, but
after the other two slaughters, it’s| 1
enough to say that the juniors won.
Though this is not on the schedule
of girls’ or boys’ sports, it is a mad
sprawl to get books in the library
at 3:20, It seems that everyone has
to do some kind of research. Poor
Miss Eaton is nearly swamped by the
mob surging behind her desk, but
she and Miss Hannay carry on val-
iantly.
“Let's pinch.” No, that’s not to be
taken literally, for it’s just “Hitchy’s”
latest expression to get the girl
going. It is rapidly gaining favor
among the girls, so, please, boys,
don’t: take any girls up on this new-
est_saying.
Have you seen the snappy maroon
sweaters seniors on the varsity are
sporting? They're really neat.

Milne Loses Thriller to
Varsity to Play Columbia
At East Greenbush Tonight
The Milne Red Raiders will face
the East Greenbush Quintet tonight
on the opponent's court.
The Red Raiders have defeated
Columbia once this season by a
score of 38-31. The Columbia J-V
downed the Milne Juniors this
season by 20-17.
Both games promise to be thrillers
and Milne should have a big crowd
on hand.
“Sandy Sez’
Beaver
The spectators who witnessed the
basketball game last Friday night
between Milne and Rensselaer
viewed one of the most exciting and
best played basketball games ever
played by a Milne team.
The Red Raiders played sensa-
tional basketball, and would have
given any team in this area a real
run for their money. Their team
play was marvelous and they really
played good ball in the clutches.
Even the Milne cheerleaders did
a good job.
Spat Near End of Game
That spat at the end of the game
was over the question of Hal
Games’ basket which tied the score
at 43 all. The ball left his hand be-
fore the referee's whistle blew, how-
ever, and so it was added to the
Milne score,
Bobby Clarke's
phenominal.
At the beginning of the third
quarter, the Bast-siders held only a
one point lead, 28-27. They also led
at the half by one point, This shows
what a tightly played game it was.
Tt was a real exhibition of college
basketball, where a 10 point lead is
hardly enough to insure victory for
a team.
Loudest Game of Season a
Amazing how the gym stood the
strain of all the noise during the
last half. Everyone was cheering as
loud as he could. Most of the fans
must have gone home hoarse.
Intra-mural basketball is coming
right along; many of the games
have been played off already.
The system of keeping the stand-
ings of the teams is. working out
very well. It gives the last place
team a chance to come up in the
standings.

The Milne High basketball team
suffered its fourth defeat this sea-
son on last Friday night, having been
defeated by Van Rensselaer on Page
Hall court in one of the most excit-
ing games ever played by a Milne
team.
After Milne had tied the score,
with seconds remaining, on a field
goal by Hal Game, the tilt went into
an overtime period. When the smoke
had cleared, it showed a Rensselaer
victory by a scanty two-point mar-
gin. The final score stood at 46 to
44.
‘The whole contest was a brilliant
exhibition of basketball by both
teams. The lead changed hands
many times during the course of the
game, and either quintet might have
drawn ahead many times by merely
one field goal, the encounter was so.
closely fought.
Half-Time Score, 19-18
At half-time, the score stood at
19-18 in favor of the East-Siders. At
the third-quarter mark, the East-
Siders still led by only one point.
With about two minutes to go,
Milne led by 3 points, but Rensselaer
came right back to grab the lead.
When the final whistle blew, the
score stood at 43 all.
The referee called a three minute
overtime period to decide the game,
and the East-Siders finally eked out
the winning margin on a field goal
by Farrell.
Game Scores High
Hal Game, who was the high
scorer for the Red Raiders with 13
points, played a terrific game, both
offensively and defensively. He
appeared to be all over the court at
once. Bobby Clarke was runner-up
with 11 points.
The Milne Junior Varsity downed
the Rensselaer Juniors by the score
of 14 to 13. They showed little of
their usual speed and good ball
handling in winning their ninth
game in eleven starts.
A great crowd was on hand to
view this spectacular contest.

Chauncey Tells Hi-Y to Sponsor | Scholarship Dates
Of Convention
In Washington
Students Learn About U.S.
Government Operation
Ep. Nore: Jean Chauncey, °43, re-
cently returned from the Students’
Institute of Government in Wash-
ington, and has written this account
of her trip, exclusively for the
Crimson AND Ware.
by Jean Chauncey
‘The Students’ Institute of National
Government which I attended last
week, is an example of our demo-
cracy in action: The best way to
realize how efficient our national
government is in its operations is
to visit the capital.
Each speaker stressed the responsi-
bilities of the young people of today.
More than ever before, patriotic
Americans have a chance to serve
their country. Opportunities are
open for people in nearly every field.
Most of these positions are included
in the Civil Service Commission. Dr.
Arthur Fleming of this department
explained in detail the work of this
commission. As an example of its
importance, Hawaii had a meeting
and is carrying on operations during
the war.
On Tuesday, the entire day was
spent in the Labor department. Mr.
James Carey of the CIO and Mr.
Robert Watt of the A F of L dis-
cussed their respective organizations.
‘There is a great deal of cooperation
between these two at the present
time. No strikes or lockouts are
anywhere in the country by execu-
tive order.
Every student had a chance to
talk with his own Congressman. Mr.
William Byrne of this area is cer-
tainly worthy of his position because
of his personality, capability, and
efficiency. He was very cordial and
explained his busy program in detail.
Washington, in its early spring
weather, is very beautiful. The
many white buildings stand out
particularly.
A wreath was placed on the tomb
of the unknown soldier and on
Washington’s tomb at Mount, Ver-
non. Both of these ceremonies were
very effective. The guard changed
while the institute looked on.
The Library of Congress, which is
the largest library in the world, con-
tains many valuable documents.
Beautiful chamber music may be
heard at nearly any time of day.
Marines offer a great opportunity
for all young men. We were made
ambassadors to get more boys to
join the forces. This section of the
service offers better pay than any
other branch, and the opportunities
for advancement are more.
When one sees all the operations
of our government, he cannot help
but be fascinated by how efficient
the people whom we take for granted
in Washington really are. Everyone
is made to realize his own responsi- |
bility as a patriotic citizen.
Second Bus Trip
The bus trip to Wappingers Falls
on Saturday, February 21, should be
