Bob Barden ‘41, Former C &W
Chief—Still In The Business
T
Once a newspaperman—always a
newspaperman. At least that is the
way it’s been for Bob Barden, ’41,
last year’s editor cf the Crimson
anv Wuire, who is now on the staff
of the Watertown Times, one of
New York State’s largest news-
papers,
Bob, who has been working since
early fall, must be quite a busy man
these days, according to his sister,
Miss Betty Barden, ’39, another
former editor of the Crimson aND
Wuirr, who is now a junior at
State College.
Said sister Betty, when asked
what Bob's job consisted of: “Well,
he works in the advertising depart-
ment a good part of the time, and
is a sort of reporter-in-training or
glorified office: boy, the rest of the
time. He likes the job a lot and es-
pecially enjoys the two nights a
week when he works on the Times
and is the only one in the building.
Guess it brings back C. and W.
memorie:
We wish you a lot of luck, Bob.
The Watertown Times gained a
valuable asset, when they hired
Robert W. Barden *41
“Big-Time” Barden,
While at Milne, Bob gained ad-
| ditional newspaper experience by
|representing Milne on the weekly
school page of the Knickerbocker
News. He was also chairman of the
Crimson and White Banquet Com-
jmittee, and a delegate to the CSPA
|Convention in New York City.

The two mathematicians
have set no date yet, but when
they do, Crims and WHITE

Phi Sigma is a litcranyrecalen so. s formed
in Milne two years ago. This formed
according to all the rules and regulations in the
school pertaining to such an organization, and up-
holds these rules as well as the other societies. Why
can’t Milne accept it?
Opposition to Phi Sigma was very strong in the
past two years because the boys in the Senior High
objected to the new society. They were afraid that
it would take members out of Theta Nu and Adel-
phoi. Doesn’t Theta Nu take some boys that
Adelphoi wants and doesn’t Adelphoi take any of
Theta Nu’s prospective members?
Sigma is no different from any of the other
literary societies. The boys’ societies were over-
crowded and there was need for another one. If
there were peace among all the boys’ literary so-
cieties, Milne would be much better off. A Society
Day would be possible. We used to have them and
they were fun to watch and fun to produce. Phi
Sigma would very easily be included in the Q.T.S.A.
dance and scholarship. Why not do something
about it, Milne? The strong opposition graduated
in the class of 1941 so why should we di:
against a perfectly legitimate society, which is as
good as any of the rest? Let peace again reign in
Milne!
Music in Our Ears ;
From the moment we heard the Quartet sing at
the opening assembly, we have been wanting to hear
more and more, not only from these four boys, but
from the newly formed A Cappella choir, and the
band.
Fach morning at 9:00 A. M. we hear strains
of song floating out the windows and from under
the door of the Little Theater. This is a new ex.
perience to Milne students, and is a pleasure
which we are beginning to look forward to. A few
more lessons and these Milne musicians will be able
to play at our affairs, and assemblies. We must
hand it to you, Mr. York for the fine way you've
started our music department. We're waiting to
hear from you, Milne Maestros!
crisp months of October, and November. Everyone
knows and loves the atmosphere of a good old-fashion-
ed hayride, where an old tattered wagon is loaded to
the brim with hay, apples, and many gay, shouting
people, There's always the excitement of riding the
horses, chasing the wagons, singing loudly, and watch-
ing the ‘man in the moon” as he slyly smiles down at
young couples,
Confidentially, there's a rumor that a hayride is in
the wind for this evening, Some of those farmers plan-
ning to attend are: Margaret Hodecker, Sally Hunt,
Priscilla Smith, Lois Ambler, Marian Horton, Mariam
Boice, Glenna Smith, Joyce Hoopes, Marilyn Potter,
Marcia: Bissikummer, ®thelee Gould, Bob Ball, John
Jansing, Bob Clarke, Bill Wiley, Duncan Crook, Kirk
Leaning, Fred Detwiler, and Van Varner. They'll
make hay while the moon shines!
A well-known movie magazine has a column on in-
teresting and trick parties. Last week in Milne’s social
life Nancy Edison gave a “Call-It-What-You-Want-
Party.” It started out as a hot dog roast, proceded
to a scavenger hunt, and then finally back at Nancy's
house the guests ate, danced and told ghost stories
Sounds like quite an evening. Those present were:
Jane Curtis, Meg Hunting, Eleanor McFee, Elaine
Fite, Marie Edwards, Marion Mulvey, Lucia Swift,
Betty Jane Southwell, Hilda Schilling, Chuck Cross,
Bill Soper, Nick Mitchell, Hal Game, George Edick, Ted
DeMoss, Dick Bates, Dick Lawyer, Harvey Holmes and
Stanley Heidenreich, Around the middle of the eve-
ning Sanford Golden and Marty Edwards crashed the
party, Naughty boys!
The Juke Box — By “Book’’
“Hello, students!” This column now makes its first
appearance in the new Crimson aNp Wiure, It's pur-
pose is to review the better records of the week and
give you some news of your favorite “name” bands.
Well, Milnites, let’s go to press!
“sing a Love Song” and “I'm Thrilled”—Claude
Thornhill... This up and coming young band has
done a fine job of recording these two lovely ballads.
They feature the tinkling piano of Thornhill and
his seven man claronet section well moulded about
the vocal. If you hear this platter and it meets with
your approval, try his “Lovers in Glass Houses.” It’s
equally well done. :
“Blue Skies” and “Backstage at the Ballet”—T.
Dorsey... An old favorite recorded with a new zest.
Frank Sinatra’s vocal, the whole chorus singing along,
terriffe arrangement for the band paced by Ziggy
Elman’s torrid trumpet all adds up to a number that's
a “must” ini your collection. The other side, ‘“Back-
stage at the Ballet,” is mediocre.
“Embraceable You” — “Fingerbustin’ " — J. Dorsey
. Helen O’Connel does the finest singing job she has
ever done on “Embraceable You.” The tune is wilting
and Helen’s slow, limped vocal is solidly backed by
the sax section of the Dorsey men.
“Elmer’s Tune” — “Delilah” .. . “Elmer's Tune” is
a catchy comer very well done by the Miller Orches-
tra. Eberle and the Modernairs show fine teamwork
and the arrangement rolls along fluidly. “Tex” Beneke
does his usual dead pan vocal with the Modernairs
filling in on the back.
“ft’s Yours!” — “Kiss the Boys Goodbye”—Alvino
Ray’s band has had a sharp rise in popular-
when you hear this platter it will be easily
understandable. After more “cuttings” like this one,
he'll be really big time. “It’s Yours” is wonderful.
Vocal is good, chorus does super job and the arrange-
ment is canned by the en ensemble sparded by
the maestro’s guitar. “Kiss the Boys Goodbye” is
also well done and it tops off one of the best record
buys Bluebird has made of late.
Records that have already gained recognition and
are worth mentioning are—‘Joltin’ Joe Dimaggio”—
Les Brown. “Adios’—G. Miller. “Yes Indeed”—T.
Dorsey. “Chatanooga Choo-Choo”—G, Miller.
Songs to watch for future popularity include: “Love
Me' As I Am,” “This Love of Mine,” “I Don’t Want to
' Set the World on Fire.”
Well, you swing (and Dodger) fans, adieu.
porter put to Milnites this weel
was, “What do you think of the
new Crimson and Wuirr?” It seems
that the majority of students agree
that the paper is easier to read. A
few comments by some of the stu-
dents appear belo.
Ruth Ketler, '43—‘Pretty snazzy!
I like the idea of pictures, and it
se good to be able to read it
all
John Jansing, ’42—‘I like it a lot,
but it isn’t as large, and I don't
think it contains as much news.
Outside of that, it's composed very
well.”
Helen Huntington, ’45—“TI like it
better, naturally, because it’s easier
to read and it makes a better show-
ing when compared with other
school papers. Also, there’s not as
much gossip,
Bill Soper, '43—“Well done! May-
be even worth paying my student
tax for.”
Sally Hunt, '42—“It's a lot more
popular with the students the way
it is now.”
Dave Golding, ‘Swell! It’s
worth the extra dollar spent for it.”
Barbara Bethan, '47. s swell!
Our paper in School 19 wasn’t half
as good.”
Chuck Cross, '43—“I think the
printed paper is a great improve-
ment over the old hit and miss mim-
eographed Crimson AND Wurre. You
can read it now.”
Pete Peterson, ’44—“It's a great
improvement, but there were a few
mis-spelled names.”
Sandy Bookstein, ’44—'Great im-
provement. We should have more
photos. What happened to the fea-
tures?”
Marcia Schiffedecker, ’42—"Grand!
Bob deserves a lot of credit, and the
whole staff has done a splendid job
in putting it out. I hope they keep
up the good work.”
Jim Lockman “It's a very
businesslike, compact paper, and it’s
so good the staff can stay after
4:15 to work on it.”
Margie Wright, ’43—“It’s more
legible and we can have pictures.
You can read an article without
making a guessing game about the
words that didn’t mimeograph well.
They could improve the girls’ sports.”
Dr. R. W. Frederick—“The first
issue of the Crimson aNd Wuire is
attractive and well balanced. The
Crimson aNd Wuite gives every
promise of being the most success-
ful paper yet.”
Eve Morgan, ’46—‘Swell!”
Joe Hunting, 42—“It’s more at-
tractive and legible, and the pic-
tures are nice. I like the idea of
by-lines. You know who the arti-
cle is written by. There should be
more girls’ sports.”

Ithaca, N. Y.
October 7, 1941
Dear Bob,
I intended to write you some time
ago to wish you much luck in your
new venture with the Crimson AND
Wuire. Now I'm so glad that I
waited for I can add my congratu-
lations on a splendid first issue. As
I told Miss Wheeling, I have only
one criticism to make—that is, that
you have set such a high standard
for yourselves in having this perfect
first issue that you are going to be
hardpressed to find much room for
improvement. It was certainly a
real source of satisfaction to me to
find my name included with, Miss
Wheeling’s.
How do the Milne students take
to the uplifted face of the C. and
W.? I trust favorably.
Mr. Allard and I are most com-
fortably situated near the campus
with Prof. Bergin who used to teach
at State. Our room overlooks the
lake, and their yard ends in one of
Ithaca’s many gorges, Of the Milne
delegation here I’ve only seen Metz
and Stevenson, but Allard has seen
the three girls as well, Evelyn Wil-
ber, Doris Holmes, and J. Town-
send.
We saw Cornell whip Syracuse
Saturday, and nearly had a sun-
stroke for our pains, it was so hot.
Please extend my best wishes to
the other members of the staff, and
I hope all your little headaches will
lessen as the year goes on.
As ever,
Warren I. Densmore.
The staff of the Crimson AND
Winre wish to take this time to
offer their condolence to the
Brooklyn Dodgers, and all those
loyal fans, who thought that
the bums could beat those
mighty Bronx Bombers.
