Raiders Meet Broadalbin for Class D Crown
By JOHN MARGOLIS
Milne’s varsity basketball team
will face Broadalbin at Troy High
tomorrow night to decide Section 2’s
Class D champion, Milne last cap-
tured the “D” title in 1963,
The Future Profs gained their
right to compete in the finals by
disposing of Greenville and Lake
George in preliminary _ sectional
games. Although the Raiders played
well offensively against Greenville,
the defense left something to be
desired. Most of the opponent's
points were scored as a result of
shots taken close to the basket. This
indicates that the defense allowed
lay-ups and second shots, which
proved to be the case.
Brooks Leads Defense
Against Lake George, however,
the defense returned to form, Fore~
ing Lake George into mistakes,
Milne profited from numerous steals
and turnovers. Furthermore, a
strong rebounding effort, led ‘by
senior co-captain Ken Brooks, pre-
vented the bigger opponents’ from
“owning the boards.” Brooks, play-
ing a man 4” taller than himself,
turned in an outstanding defensive
performance and rebounded excep-
tionally. Offensively, Bob Blanton
tallied twenty-four points and was
credited with eight assists,
In addition to Brooks and Blan-
ton, the remaining members of the
varsity have performed admirably.
Khach Twins Talented Pair
Jim Khachadourian consistently
plays a strong defensive game and
is still a tough rebounder, Brother
Bill Khachadourian, beside his de-
fensive talents, has developed into
an accurate outside shooter, hitting
double figures frequently. The
Khaghadourians provide Milne with
o of the smallest, yet most versa-
tile forwards in the area,
The reserves have been of great

sectionals. Juniors Ron Laraway
and Tom Bearup often have come
off the bench to pick up the team,
both offensively and defensively.
Inspired by his recent success at
dunking the ball, Jon “Henry” Gold-
farb has done a commendable job
grabbing errant shots, Finally,
“Cazzie” Olinsky has added punch
to late scoring drives.
Broadalbin: “Team To Beat”
gainst Broadalbin, the Raiders
nnot afford to make mistakes.
Broadalbin is big’ and fast. The
Knickerbocker News cited them as
probable “team to beat” for the
championship. To win, Milne must
|block out and rebound off the de-
|fensive boards. The Profs’ defense
must contain Broadalbin’s fast break
and must force the opponents to take
the outside shot. Always working
for a good shot, the Raiders must
not get impatient and “bomb” from
Jong range. As in all championship
|games, the team which makes
‘own breaks will be the winner.

CONGRATULATIONS !
Holy calendar! What a season! Milne’s
Future Profs have finished the regular basket-
ball schedule with a 16-5 record. In their
second year in the CHVL they’ve managed to
come in second in the league. For the fourth
time in twenty-six years, they've beaten Acad-
emy’s Cadets in both encounters. In addition,
Bob Blanton this year established a new Milne
scoring record.
This has been an eventful year in Milne
sports. No matter what the outcome of the
sectionals, Milne can be proud of a fine team
effort by this year’s Red Raiders. a
Gastronomic Hotline
It’s the tradition among students to knock
the cafeteria—about everything from wilted
hettuce leaves to dirty walls. But the tables
have turned. *
In the last year, ‘’The Dungeon’’ has
changed. With the new schedule, one can
eat without feeling like part of a cattle drive
Although seniors lost their lunch haven, new
facilities have been added, and more (hope-
fully) are on the way. Best of all, the menu
has expanded from inedible peanut butter to
a fair culinary fare, including, of all things,
fifteen cent sundaes with homemade ice
cream.
Our cafeteria, equipped with Tina, et al,
cannot compete with the inexpensive meals
and shiny decor of the big central high
schools. But the Milne cafeteria possesses a
certain, indescribable “something.” | just

And The Livin’ Is Easy
“Here comes summer When you
hear this do ‘visions of loveliness’ dance
through your head? Do you picture yourself
lying on the sand somewhere, soaking up sun,
listening to the waves splashing up upon the
shore and doing NOTHING? STOP!
Summer is the golden opportunity to do
something really worthwhile and you are go-
ing to forsake this opportunity for a crummy
tan that will probably fade anyway? Now is
the time to begin making plans for something
different.
Why don’t you get a job? Besides making
money you could be learning something as
well. You might even enjoy it.
Speaking of learning something, why don’t
you sign up for a class or two. Do something
that you've always wanted to do but never
had the opportunity or time. There are quite
a few courses being offered here, at other
schools, and even at various colleges and uni-
versities.
Or why not volunteer for some sort of aid
program? Think about the kids who have

cold February wind swept
through Page courtyard,
While they waited,
sang and shouted slogans. “We
Shall Overcome” and shouts of
“Freedom now!” drifted up to those
crowded around third floor win-
dows. A few isolated cries for red
and white power were also heard.
The main doors of Page Hall
opened, Three determined figures
appeared. As suddenly as it had
started, the noise stopped and the
hush returned. All waited for a
declaration of liberty.
The three were members of the
class of '67, a militant student or-
ganization comprised of disgruntled
upper-classmen, They had gath-
ered to protest inequities in the
senior-privileges system.
Green cards appeared and matches
were struck, The crowd watched
silently as the hungry flames de-
voured the cardboard. Only ashes
remained; even the authoritative
“Do Not Destroy” warning could
ont resist the fire. And three Mil-
nites became “seniors in bad stand-

In 1948, the Student Council
awarded Milne with a World War II
Memorial plaque. A service flag
which had previously hung in the
hall was encased in the plaque. The
Milne High School Student award,
hung in 1936, recognized all the Re-

Vietnam
... . The only way to bring the
Communists to the peace table
(in Vietnam) is to have them
come ‘on the run.’ Should
even a slight hope of eventual
victory remain, they will most
assuredly continue to pursue
their aggressive tactics in the

The Drinking Age
As for our neighboring
states, it should be their re-
sponsibility to put some kind
of control over their teen-agers
to prevent New York State
from being used as source of
alcoholic beverages. Owners of
New York restaurants and
taverns could also help by care-
fully checking all identifica-
tion of anyone whose age
might be questionable.
