Enough of these numerous exclam-

over the ill-effects of last Wednes-
day, November 20th, a memor
day for the entire female popula-
tion of Milne, The school started
with the sophomore girls character-
ized by straight locks and lack of
makeup for a change. Also, many
of the girls looked rather studious
piled high with books. However,
they were not as studious as you
might have suspected, but were just
being helpful to their helpless Quin
and Sigma sisters.
The climax of this hazing arrived
late in the afterncon when the
informal initiation was held. Quin’s
initiation was begun in the little
gym, while Sigma began their's in
the Ceramics room. The
of girls wound their way
the locker room and
through the school.
Torture Continues
The Quin girls w
rayed in bathing suits a

long nightshi and stadium boots.
‘As the initiations progressed, loud
yells and screams issued forth from
both rooms. . Unknown to the
blindfolded girls,a graduate photog-

more convenient and worthwhile if
they were included in the Inter-
society Council. As a result, each
society will send two representa-

Talent Feature
The first Talent Assembly of the
year will be presented today by
members of the Milne School stu-
dent body, This announcement was
made by the Assembly Committee
recently and is being headed by two
juniors, Arlene Blum, and Betty
Pieiffer. These two students have
charge of the Senior Assembly
which will comprise only one-half
of the scheduled performance. The
Junior High will stage their own
Talent Show during their regular
assembly period.
Some of the participants for to-
day's Senior presentation already
entered are: Jess Barnet, piano;
Joyce Russo and Nancy McMann,
solos; Jackie Mann, guitar act; Joa
Lehner, Sally Grace, Joan Whi
craft, dancing; also, Ruth Weil will
dance for the assembly. The “Four
Ink Spots” will be portrayed by
Betty Pieiffer, Pat Costello, Judy
Hunting, and Nat Woolfolk. Adele
Porth and Helen Murphy are slated
to perform their mysterious Magi-
cian Act, Margie Norton will also
render a piano solo which completes
the roster for Senior High entrants.
Junior Assembly
The Junior High Talent Show is
under the direction of Judy Horton,
a freshman here in Milne. The cast
for this production includes George
McDonough, Dale Christie, and
Richard Taylor in a skit entitled
“The Corn’s a-Crackin’.” Also Janet
Gross will be featured at the piano

“No Dates” Feature
First Council Dance
~~| Informal Affair
Holiday Opener
“The first Senior Student Council
dance of the 1946-47 sea_on will be
held tonight in the Lounge from
eighty-thirty until _eleven-thirty,
with the emphasis on ‘no dates’,”
announced Senior Ccuncil President
Kenneth Seifert. This so-called
“No Date” dance was decided upon
recently in an attempt to draw a
larger crowd than former council
dances have succeeded in doing.
It was agreed upon by all the Stu-
dent Council members that a dance
of this type would give many Mil-
nites a chance to come to the dance
who ordinarily would hesitate to
do so.
Music for this first sport dance
will be supplied by Herman Gressen
and his “hep-cats”. The Student
Council has also announced that
coke and doughnuts will be on sale
at a minimum “cost”. Chairman of
the dance is Robert Randles, junior.
Chaperones will include Mrs. Ma
Farland, health instructor, and Dr.
‘Taylor, supervisor in Social Studies.
Mr. Seifert, apparently certain
that the dance would go over as
planned, stated, “We have tried to
plan a that would be inviting
to the entire Sen High. The
band should prove to be worthwhile
and I sincerely hope that all of the
students will attend so that the
dance will have the success it de-
serves.”

The traditional feast of Thanksgiving will

this celebration, will be the turkey, the mince

We are maturing individuals and, al-
though we are still in high school, the time
is not far distant when we shall look back and
remember how things seemed way back when.
Let us have no regrets for not getting all we
could out of Milne.
So, Thursday when the family again bows
its head to say grace, let it not be a jumble
of words, but let it possess a significance to
each and every one of us. Yes, we truly have
something to be thankful for—now.

Grogan Prepares Squad
Five for Opening Tilt
Varsity Loses
Stellar Forward
The Milne basketball teams for
this season have now been com-
pletely chosen and are in full swing
preparing for the coming schedule,
of which the first varsity game will
be played on December 6th. This
will be with Watervliet, at home.
The varsity team which has ex-
perienced its final cut is composed
of two seniors, Dick French and
Allie Meskil, the remaincer of the
players being juniors, namely Bill
Farnam, Bob Clark, Don Miller,
Bob Leslie, Don Mapes, Clayton
Besch, Jack Rickles and Don Talbot.
Mendel Out
According to Mr. Harry Grogan,
boys’ athletic cirector, ast year’s
varsity graduated as a whole. This
leaves only junior replacements for
this year's team. Mr. Grogan
states: “An average season is ex-
pected, although the loss of Ben
Mendel, an outstanding player, will
be felt by the team.” ‘tne varsity
plans to play seventeen games this
season, including a tilt with Man-
has:et High from Long Island.
Jayvee Operating
The Junior Varsity is composed
almost entirely of sophomores, with
the exception of Norman Stumph
and Jim Perry, juniors. The sopho-
mores include Art walker, Edgar
Wilson, ck Bauer, Dan Wes
brook, George DeMoss, Lew Carr
and Henry Bonsall.
The Junior Varsity is now prac-
ticing hard and plans to play the
scheduled number of games. A
good season is also expected, ac-
cording to the coach.
The freshmen are represented
again this year with a team of their
own, Although the freshman team
does not play every game on the
schedule, they intend to battle with
several other opponents this season.
Freshmen Squad
Ted McNeil, Roeliff Jennex, Jolin

Dick Briggs, Tom Lawton, Bernard
Campbell, Schuyler Sackman, Mal-

much action this year as members
of the freshman squad.
Neil MeNeill, this year’s Varsity
manager states, “The freshman
team will gain valuable experience
this year which will aid them next
season playing on the J.V.”
Will Choose Game Captains
No captains have yet been
chosen for any of the teams, but
will be selected before each game.
“The final cuts have been made,”
said Mr. Grogan, “and the boys are
working out in the gym every day

Don Smith Heads
Newly-Formed
Boys Rifle Club
The Milne High School Rifle Club
has once again begun its activities
for the year under an entirely new
planning and organizational system.
Meetings have been held during the
past few weeks which, according to
the Club, have resulted in much
worthwhile planning by the group.
Also, this year's Rifle Club reflects
a radical change of the Club’s pre-
vious policies inasmuch as it is
operating on a basis entirely differ-
ent than that of years past.
At one of the first meetings,
officers were elected, and it must
be noted that these officers are the
true founders of this organization
which has more or less passed in
and out of existence periodically
through the years. These officers
include Don Smith, captain; Grant
Talbot, executive officer; Dick Stock,
range officer; and John Fisenhut,
secretary-treasurer.
Under this new system, the Milne
Rifle Club is planning to join the
National Rifle Association, which is
famous throughout the entire United
States for its participation in the
furthering of good, all round rifle
competition. If the Milne Rifle
Club succeeds in doing this, the
National Rifle Association will furn-
ish all guns and ammunition neces-
sary for the Club’s operation.
In addition to this proposed ar-
rangement, the Club has secured
through the New York State Guard
the use of its rifle range at the New
Scotland Avenue Armory here in|
the city. The range is open for
Milne's use on Friday afternoons
and evenings. According to Don
Smith, this privilege will enable the
Milne boys to gain added experience
in the art and science of marksman-
ship.
Alumni Competing,
In College Try-Outs
Don Christie and Pete Hunting,
members of the Milne 1945-46 bas-
ketball team, are now competing
for positions on the Champlain and
Union College quintets.
Christie, captain of last year’s
team, has been practicing for the
past ‘six weeks. He survived the
first cut which reduced the squad
from 120 to 30 men. Champlain
College, which is located at Platts-
burg, is a new college, opened this
fall by the Assc
Upper New York for veterans and
high school graduates crowded out
of established institutions.

Hi-Y Club Joins
Regional Council
Headed by President Donald Jar-
rett, the Milne Hi-Y Club plans to
| become a part of the Regional and
State Hi-Y councils. Together with
these organizations, Milne Hi-Y will
be entitled to the use of the Albany
Y.M.C.A. facilities Tuesday, Thurs-
ay, and Friday nights. Altogether,
this reflects a visual change in the
entire yearly program, and will also
include such added activities as
speakers on prezent day problems,
youth discussion groups, boy-girl
parties, and numerous game nights.
By joining these new groups, the
Hi-Y is assessed one dollar more
than in previous years, but as can
be seen, the benefits will be numer-
ous. Delegates will be sent to the
councils from the Milne Hi-Y to
learn of and report on any new
plans or suggestions which’ these
councils may put forth. Milne,
therefore, is pledged to abide by
their decisions, and follow their
suggestions.
A committee has already been
appointed to begin work planning
the activities of the entire season
1946-47. Heading this committee is
Jess Barnet assisted by Bill O’Brien,
Frank Coburn, and Bob Abernathy.
Also on Hi-Y’s agenda is the in-
duction and initiation of the new
sophomore members scheduled for
December 4, at eight o'clock. Fol-
lowing the annual initiation in the
gym, a party for the new members
will follow. Coke and doughnuts
will be served free of charge.
Mr. Jarrett stated, concerning this
new Hi-Y venture, “It certainly
lcoks as though Milne’s Hi-Y is in
for an outstanding year
Archery Arrows Fly
As Girls Hit Targets
The student instructors for junior
high archery this fall have been
Ann Adams and Norma Bell Singer.
Although only one class has met,
twenty-five girls have gone out for
this sport. Archery, like many
other individual sports, has both
junior and senior high classes. The
senior branch has had four meet-
ings, but the turnout at these meet-
ings is up until now fairly disap-
pointing, according to Miss Murray.
Since the targets are set up near
the main entrance of State College,
some of the students have occasion-
ally had to dodge a barrage of
arrows on their way to classes.
“The girls’, says Miss Adams, “have
improved greatly
fact that they only began this fall.”
in spite of the| credit the whole team must partici-
| pate the required number of times.
Only a few of our “horsewomen”
have been showing up to the riding
classes on Saturday mornings. Judy
Horton is among the few braver
ones and she has already graduated
to the cantering stage. (Lately she
has been seen eating while standing
up!) Won't somebody keep Judy
company?
Varsity Games Played
We finally played our much post-
poned hockey game With st. Agnes.
The weather was harély oi a torrid
degree, in fact, we now consider
ourselves members of the Polar
Bear Club. Both the first and
second string teams played but un-
fortunately the scores were not
identical. It seems that our good
old second string
Agnes team; while
string game ended
of 0-0.
A combination of keen competi-
tion and rather coolish weather
made the games fast-moving, Ruth
Ambler and Doris Long were the
only ones successful in getting that
little white ball through St. Agnes’
goal post.
The soccer season went out with
a big bang. Our most beloved
seventh graders turned the tables
on their worthy opponents, the
eighth graders, by beating them in
their last intra-mural game.
Combination Game Success
What on e: is that? . . . It is
that cute new game called speed-
ball. Being partially soccer and
partially basketball, it causes many
onlookers perplexed expressions and
confused thoughts. The line-up is
a regular soccer line-up. The cen-
first

the
ter kicks off by lifting the ball
into the air with her toe and, if
someone catches the ball, soccer
rules are disregarded and basketball
rules reign supreme. The minute
the ball touches the ground, soccer
rules are assumed once more. Even
the players have a hard time keep-
track of things, but they all admit
its a lot of fun. Incidentally, speed-
ball will be added as a regular part
of the gym schedule next year.
Intra-mural Ring-Stick Hockey
ra-mural ring-stick hockey
will be initiated. It will be held in
the little gym on Monday and Wed-
nesday afternoons after school and
will be open for participation by
all classes. Mixed teams will be

Departments Unite
On Senior Essays
The English Department and the
Social Studies Department have
combined ideas this year, and have
decided as a result of a meeting
| held recently that the Milne Seniors
will prepare a correlated es-ay for
both departments. Previously, there
was no term paper required jor the
History course, only in English,
However, this’ year due to the
exigencies of the times and for
other reasons, it was felt that the
Milne Seniors would best benefit
from this new arrangement.
The topic may include any phase
of American history, and all topics
were to be selected Wednesday,
November 20, The outline for the
essay is due December 6, while the
rough draft of the paper is due
December 13, The final essay, com-
plete, must be in January 6, 1947.
This gives the Senior:
ately one month and a half to
plete this annual paper.
The English department, however,
stresses the fact that if a Senior
| has a special interest in a subject
other than concerned with History,
he may prepare an essay on it, al-
though he must do the requir
essay for History regardless of his
other interest.

Dear Joe and Josie Milnite:
Dinah Shore keeps up her repu-
tation for good records with her
recent recording of “You Keep
Coming Back Like a Song”, a new
hiit by Irving Berlin, Being a
typical Shore number, she makes
this an outstanding recording. The
reverse of this reco ‘The Way
That The Wind Blows”, a brand new
tune and one that has the makings
of a top-hitter, Hats off to Dinah
Shore for this enjoyable two-hit
record!
The Modernaires step into the
spotlight next with their new re-
cording of “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah”
and “foo Many Irons In The Fire.”
The first song is a rollicking novelty
from the Walt Disney movie, “Song
of the South”. The latter is a slow,
sad number that grows on you after
a while. Another good record for
your collection,
New Danny Kaye Album
Speaking of collections, the in-
comparable Danny Kaye has re-
corded a typical Kaye extravaganza
called “I'm Anatol of Paris”. I
about the woes and sec
sions of a designer of cr women's
hats. If done by someone else, this
song wouldn't be very good at
but with Danny Kaye doing it, it
becomes something special.
Good old rhythm and plenty of it
is the main attraction of Frankie
Carle's new record “It’s All Over
Now”. There are some good swing-
ing piano interludes to back up
Marjorie Hughes’ singing. The back
is 0 good: “Hither It’s Love or It
Isn't”.
Here are some other new records
to look out for: “For You, For Me,
For Ever More”, and “A Kiss In
The Night” nicely done by Benny
Goodman, “I Guess I'll Get The
Paper” and “The Whole World Is.
Singing My Song”, two very good
songs attractively arranged by Les
Brow:
That’
all for now!
Forever—Ambler.
