Tests Nov. 9
The second qualifying test for the
Army and Navy V-12 specialized
training programs will be given
November 9. All students taking
these exams must plan to gradu-
ate by March 1, 1944. A form
will be given to each student who
wishes to take these exams, at the
office. Those taking the exam must
be at least 17 years of age and no
older than 21. The same examina-
tion will be given Army and Navy
candidates. This examination is
designed to test the aptitude and
general knowledge required for the
program of college training. At the
time of the test each applicant will
be given a choice of service prefer-
ence, but taking the exam does not
require the candidate to enlist.
The Army specialized training
program enables students to con-
tinue academic training at govern-
|ment expense following induction
into the armed forces. Successful
|may lead to a commission in the |
| Army or Navy. |
Students chosen for the Navy
program will be detailed directly to
college. Those in the Army pro-
gram will have basic military train-
ing and will then be sent to college.
Students who attend college un- |
der these programs will be under |
military discipline on active duty in |
uniform with pay. All expenses, |
including tuition, food, housing, |
books, and uniforms, will be paid
by the Army and Navy.
Cab Calloway Stars at Palace;
Started in High School Band
By Herb Lucas
Hi-de-ho or didn’t you se2 Cab
Calloway’s show at the Palace? The
sepian singer starred in and was
M. C. for the Cotton Club Review,
on tour. A variety of dazzling acts,
all with colored entertainers, were
presented.
Cab started his musical career in
the Rochester Higl School orches-
tra, where he played drums in a
concert. When he finished high
school, he started to study law but
gave it up in 1928 to sing with a
small local band. Shortly after he
started singing professionally, he
organized his own musical group.
When Duke Ellington toured Eu-
rope, Cab Calloway succeeded him
as the foremost Negro bandleader
in Amer He wrote “Minnie the
Moocher,” for example, that clicked,
and in 1941 recorded “Blues in the
Night.” Nearly one million copies
of this record were sold, and that
ain’t hay, brother.
When asked if he knew any spe-
cial reason why so many Negroes
play exceptional boogie-woogie and
hot lick trumpets, he replied, “It’s
because that’s the style of music
that they like to play.”
Cab has made a number of pic-
tures, the latest one, “Stormy
Weather.” .
If you liked the zoot suit that Cab
wears, you can get one like it for
$130.00, if the O.P.A. doesn’t catch
you. ‘Then you'll be quote, “A
drip in a droop drop.”
We would like to express our ap-
preciation to David Golding and his
father for aid in obtaining this in-
terview.
Incidently, the next time you
think that you're working too hard,
think of the act that Hi-de-do Cab
Calloway puts on and relax.

New Leaders Elected
At Hi-Y Meeting
The Milne Hi-Y organization
elected its officers for the coming
year Wednesday evening, October
6, at the Albany YMCA.
Alvin Bingham, president, who
was elected last year, headed the
meeting. The officers elected were:
vice-president, Bill Baker; secre-
tary, Tom Dyer; treasurer, John
Hutchinson; sergeant-at-arms,
David Ball; and chaplain, Charles
Hopkins.
Hi-Y plans to send the Crrmson
and WurrTe to alumnae in service
again this year. Stated President
Bingham, “We hope to have a suc-
cessful year.”
Typing Club Selects Officers
The Typing Club of the Junior
School met in room 235 on Wednes-
day, October 6, to elect officers. The
results of the elections are as fol-
lows: Mary Jane Fiske, leader;
| Catharine Bacon, publicity dirctor.
Allotments, this year, will total
$2,520 as compared with last year’s
budget of $2,490. This money comes
from $6.00 student tax assessed each
Milne pupil.
The French Club and the Senior
High cheering squad have asked for
allotments this year for the first
time. These are the only additions
to the budget of last year. No other
organizations have asked for money
nor have others asked for additional
funds. The Crimson anv WHITE re-
ceives the largest appropriation be-
cause of the one dollar addition to
the student tax which initiated the
printed paper.
The Student Budget Committee,
Jones, Arden Flint, Kenny Stephen-
son, and Joyce Knapp, held a pre-
liminary meeting on October 8.
Students representing various or-
ganizations are as follows: Sanford

Buy More Stamps!
A seeming reversal of purchase of bonds
and stamps has taken place in Milne High so
far this year. Only about $200 in war stamps
have been bought so far, after three weeks of
school, too.
This is not the kind of record Milne wants.
Last year Milne and all the city schools ex-
ceeded their quotas. Now is not the time to
quit. A quota of $25,000 has been set by the
student war council for Albany schools, to be
raised by December 7.
What we want is 100% of the students buy-
ing regularly, 90% is not enough. Don't for-
get about this matter. Stamps and bonds can
be purchased at the Milne bank by Dr.
Cooper's office. Betty Baskin from the senior
class has again undertaken the chairmanship of
the campaign along with several other students.
Let's get behind the drive and get out all
the spare money we can find.’ We must ex-
ceed the quota set for Milne.
Pay That Student Tax!
A surprising number of students have not
yet paid either their student tax, book fees, or
tuition. These all should be paid promptly
so that the student functions can be success-
fully carried out. The student council, evi-
dently, cannot make out a budget if it does not
have the money on which to make the budget.
The older students are much more lax in
payment of these debts than the younger junior-

JEAN DORSEY
If I said I was writing about the
little girl who was chairman of the
Welfare Committee and chairman of
the Camp Committee five years ago,
I doubt if you would know whom
I meant.
Maybe you could remember back
four years ago, when she was vice-
president of her homeroom (123).
She also was very active in sports.
In the frezhman class she joined
the cheering squad, and since that
year she has been cheering the team
bn to vietory.
Zega Sigma welcomed a new
member in 1941 and the Hockey
team acquired a new captain (all in
one year),
Junior President
Again, in the junior year, she was
elected by her homeroom to be the
president to keep the class in order
(end believe it or not, she man-
aged).
This year this vivacious cheer-
leader is at the head of the cheer-
ing squad and working very hard
at her new job. We know that the
job isn’t easy but we all have con-
idence in her.
By now you know the name of the
who is being talked about. Al-
st everyone knows Jean, either
by her friendliness or by the habi-
1 enthusiasm that she has for
everything she undertakes.
Jean has a passion for yellow

high students. Perhaps this can be attributed
to the fact that many more of the senior high
students are themselves responsible for paying
these debts while the parents of the younger
students pay these and quite promptly too.
The older students should realize that if th-y
are responsible for paying these obligations
they should get it done right away. This is
the end of the fourth week of school. |
Get these loose ends cleared up so that sev-
eral different offices do not have to continually
send notices around to the homerooms.

Intramural Games Start;
All Boys Play Football
Ball Busters, Jerks
Tie for Senior Lead
By Bruce Hansen
Boys gym classes from the 7th
grade to the 12th grade are now
engaged in stiff competition to see
which of them has the best football
squad under Coach Tanno.
In the 7th grade, the Lancers are
leading the league. They have won
2 and tied 3, against no losses. The
Spiders are not far behind with one
win, 3 ties and one loss.
In the 8th grade, the Termites are
the present champs. They have
won four of their games, tied 3 and
lost none. The ‘Tigers, Chicago
Bears and the Slow Poles come
next. They have each won all of
their games except one. The Car-
dinals and the Hopelesscs are in the
cellar. The Hopelesses seem to be
really hopeless. They have tied 2
games and lost 6. So far in the 8
games they have played, they have
not scored a single point.
Three-Way Tie
In the ninth grade, there is a 3-
way tie for first place. The War-
riors, Beetles and the Blackouts
have each lost one game out of
eight, The Grasshoppers are in
scond place with one game won, 5
games tied, and 2 losses.
In Grade 10, the Clinkers are on
top of the league, They have lost
but one game out of 8 played. The
Cherries and the Bléckbusters are
tied for second place, each of them
losing 2 games. The Lemons, under
the capable leadership of Jim Myers,
’44, are third, but Jim says, “We
expect to win the pennant.” The
Grapes are in fourth place with one
win and three ties against 4 losses.
The Stars are in the cellar, winning
only one game out of 8.
Six-Team League
Grade 11 has a six-team league.
The Hillbillies and the B.T.O.’s are
tied for first place, each of them
unbeaten and unscored against. The
Bulls are also also unbeaten and
unscored against, but they haven’t
scored anything themselves yet.
The Skulls are in second place with
one win and one tie against 2
losses. The Murderers and Wood-
peckers are last. They have not
won a game,
The seniors have only a four-team
league. Each team has played only
one game so far this season. The
Ball Busters beat the Dodgers by a
score of 24-12, and the Jerks beat
the Gunners by a score of 12-6. This
ties the Ball Busters and the Jerks
for first place.
The seniors are having a great deal
of trouble in keeping their league
going. Only two games have been |
played, This is due to the fact that
hardly any of the boys attend gym
classes for some reason or other.
None of the other classes have en-
countered this trouble. All the
games are played on the front lawn.
Found—One Gym Teacher
Mrs. Merle Tieszen has joined
the Milne faculty as gym in-
|] structor for the girls in the ab-
sence of Miss Beth Hitchcock,
who joins the WAVES this fall.
Mrs. Tieszen comes from Els-
mere. She will begin her teaching
duties next week.
Senior Room Opens;
New Rules Posted
Alvin Bingham presided over the
second meeting of the senior class
Monday, October 11 in the Page
Hall Auditorium at 12:27 p.
The most important business con-
cerned the rules of the senior room.
Under the new rules which are
posted on the senior room bulletin
board, the room will be open all
day long uniil 4:00 p.m. The room
will continue to be used as long as
the seniors conduct themselves ac-
cording to the new code. The class
officer will see that the rules are
obeyed.
Janice O'Connell read the minutes
of the previous meeting. The se-
niors also discussed the question of
electing a sergeant-at-arms and a
business manager. The meeting
was adjourned at 12:57.
Junior High tc to Publish
New Literary Magazine
Students of the Junior High
School will publish a Junior High
literary magazine. Such an under-
taking would not be new at Milne,
because the Junior High has spon-
sored literary magazines during the
past years. Some of the previous
publications were, “The Lighthouse,”
“The Keyhole,” and “The Time
Ticker.” It has, however, been sev-
eral years since any of these papers
have been issued.
The idea to revive a Junior High
magazine originated in Home Room
329, and apparently has won the
interest of most Junior High stu-
dents. Faculty members including
Dr. Robert W. Frederick, principal,
Miss Katherine E, Wheeling, Miss
|Mary Elizabeth Conklin, English
supervisors, and Miss A. Mee F
lingham, instructor in Home Ec:
nomics, have spoken favorably of
the proposed publication. Miss
Wheeling Has contested to serve as
faculty adviser when the magazine
becomes aa actual
After several meetings of inter-
ested students, the following staff
members have been selected: Edi-
tors, Alan Gould, John Thompson,
Jim Spandau; Assistant Editors,
Glada Appleton, Pat Snyder, Lois
Prescott, Ruth Weil; Business Man-
ager, Richard Stock; Circulation
Manager, Malcolm Falleck; Seventh
Grade Representatives, Gordon Kil-
|by, Janet Raveneau, Nan Rypins,
| and Dick Eldridge.

The G. A. C. has finally started

Hockey Starts
Hockey is here again.
grades take every advantage to
play, so it’s going quite strongly.
Its unfortunate that Milne hasn’t a
real gym teacher to instruct the
younger cla in Hockey. They
would like to play and should play
but without instruction, they might
hurt themselves.
Of course the hockey players now
are murdering themselves. They
haven't a chance. “Pete” Peterson’s
wrist was knocked out of joint, Ed-
wina Lucke got hit in the head
with a ball, Baggy Weinberg looks
as if she’s got a broken finger, while
Elaine Bissicummer’s finger is

The games are even more inter-
esting, trying to distinguish the
boys’ football games from our
hockey games. In the end, the boys
have the stick and the girls are
tackling, themselves with the foct-
ball.
The sophomeres and the seniors
played on Wednesday the first in-
tramural hockey game. Jean Dor-
s-y was the star of the game, being
crecited with three goals, while
Joyce Knapp made the final goal,
making the score 4 to 0, favoring
the seniors.
Last Tuesday they played again,
having the score tied, 4 to 4. This
game was exceptionally exciting and
could be called a free-for-all.
There will be intramural games
for anyone wanting to play on Mon-
day, Wednesday and Friday. It
would be a good idea for the sev-
enth and eighth graders to come
out and watch at fir: They cauld
get some idea of the game and may-
be get a try at it.
We definitely need a gym teach

Senior High Hears
Correspondent
Jack Mahon Tells Stories
Of South Pacific Warfare
At a surprise assembly, Monday,
October 4, senior high students
heard first hand stories about war
in the South Pacific from an ace
INS correspondent, Mr. Jack Mahon.
Mr. Mahon, attired in the regu
lation army officer's uniform, ad-
dressed the students for almost half
an hour, To distinguish him as a
correspondent, however, he wore
small green stripes on each shoulder
with the words, “War Correspond-
ent.” Over his left breast pocket
he ‘wore .several campaign stripes
from the South Pacific area.
Formerly a sportswriter for the
Dat.y News in New York and INS,
he ‘became an accredited corres-
pondent and was sent to the South
Pacific area, He flew from Hawaii
to the Solomons area on a large
army bomber, He had to stand up
or sit on the floor of the plane for
the whole trip.
When he first arrived, he was sur-
prised to find that hotel accommo~
dations were supplied to the r
porters. When he first saw his
room, he found out that it really
wasn’t much of a‘hotel, but prac-
tically a pig pen, with plenty of
bugs. Mr. Mahon said, “Some of
the cockroaches were so big they
had to put saddles on them.” Ac-
cording to him this was no exag~
geration.
Later he boarded an aircraft car-
rier with other correspondents look-
ing for the Jap navy. He explained
that reporters sometime take such |
trips in hopes of getting a good
story or sometimes they stay at
headquarters hoping that a story
will break. While aboard the car-
rier, they came across several un-
identified planes. These turned out
to be friendly, He said that some-
times the Japs get hold of slightly
damages U.S. planes and use them
themselves.
Mr. Mahon was presented to the
assembly by the A.Bany ‘TrMES
Unton in conjunction with national
newspaper week. He was intro-
duced by Mr. Meehan of the Times
Union staff who is the father of
Lois Meehan, a junior at Milne.

War Bond Sales Open
Under Chairman Baskin
The war stamps and bonds sale
is open again, but student response
to the sale of stamps is lacking.
Approximately $1350 worth of bonds
and stamps have been sold but the
great majority of this is in the sale
of large bonds.
Mr, Wilfred Allard’s Homeroom

assembly is being planned in the
near future to promote interest in
the sales, Homrooms will elect
representatives soon.
Dr. Edward Cooper has ordered
the Minute Man flag but at least
$0 per cent of the student body must
be regular purchasers to keep the
flag.
The complete committee which |
will alternate periods of duty are as
follows: Pat Gotier, Jean Figarsky,
Joyce Knapp, Kenny Stephenson,
and Sue Hoyt, seniors, and Carol
Jacobs, '46.
Betty Baskin, who is chairman,
stated, “Last year Milne students
showed what they are capable of
doing. Let's keep up the good work
and do as well this year.”
Disc-cusssons by Elinor
With some misgivings we an-
nounce that the ban laid down on
the recording of music by the
American Federation of Musicians
has been lifted for Decca Records.
The reason that this announcement
affords dubious pleasure is because
the contracts have not yet been
signed, though the ban is officially
lifted. So don’t cheer too loud, too
soon.
Few records have it out of the
blue as hard and fast as Al Dexter's
“Pistol Packing Mama.” Here was
a real sleeper, a disc nobody had
even heard of, except perhaps the
hillbillies. Not to be recommended
is Sinatra's torchy rendition,

To be recommended:
Dorsey’s “You Took My Love.” It
has a swell solo twist. Ziggy El-
man’s featured on a sulty trumpet
and Jo Stafford sings a low and
throbbing vocal. Both features
rank the soloists with the expert
exponents of the sweet in swing.
Tf anybody knows the lyrics to
Cab Calloway’s theme song “Minnie
the Moocher,” will he send them in
to this column? It would be
greatly appréciated.

ducted its first dance on Saturday
evening, October 9 at 7:30 p. m, in
the lounge. There the students of
the eighth and ninth grades re-
ceived the new class of "49 into
the Junior School. As each stu-
dent entered, he received a slip of
paper with his name and class on it.
Each eighth and ninth grader was
given the name of some seventh
grade student, to see that this stu-
dent became acquainted with some
members of the diffrent classes,
The class of '49 was then received
| by Derwent Angier, Junior Student
Council president, Joan Clark,
Mabel Martin, and Tris
members of the class of '47 and the

and Two o’Clock Jumps,” “All or
Nothing at All,” “Sky Lark,” and

tons which were enjoyed equally
well,

gas,

Sensemann Speaks
Before Assembly
Mr. Harley LeRoy Sensemann,
supervisor and teacher in chemistry,
addressed Milne Senior School stu-
dents at an assembly Tuesday, Oc-
tober 12, at 12:27 p, m.
Mr. Sensemann told a little of
what he saw in some 17. countries.
He lived in these 17 nations in only
a period of twelve “years, He
stressed more of what he saw in the
| countries than his own experiences.
He said that he thought the Turks
were the people he had met who
were most like our own people.
With his wife, he traveled eastward
through the huge Russian territory
and almost came into contact with
| the German armies in their inva-
sion of Russia. Seventeen days
spent on a Russian train across
Siberia was so bad that it became
indescribable to Sensemann.
Only two months before Pearl
Harbor, he was held as a hostage
|by the Japs in Japan, Only by a
clever ruse did he and his wife
escape.
The students showed every evi-
dence of enjoying Mr. Sensemann’s
talk a great deal. One students aid
what was probably the desire of all
|the students, “I would like very
much to heat much more about his
travels.”
