Musical Comedy Stars
Rogers and Astaire
The junior class of Milne will
present the movie, “Top Hat” with
red Astaire and Ginger Rogers,
Saturday evening, May 4 in Page
Hall. The show will start at 8:15;
tickets will be sold at the door.
At the last class meeting of the
juniors, it das decided to present
some kind of entertainment to pro-
vide funds for the class treasury.
A committee decided upon a feature
for the evening. The committee
consists of Marjorie Bookstein,
chairman; Glada Appleton, Barbara
Betham, Gates Barnet, John Taylor,
and Franz] Mohling. With the help
of Dr. Hendrickson, the committee
chose a list of top features in re-
cent years with “Top Hat’ heading
the list. They decided upon “Top
Hat” and a cartoon short. The com-
mittee is planning for several addi
| tional shorts,
“Top Hat” was headliner several
years ago when Fred Astaire was
fat the peak of his career. Ginger
Rogers, the leading lady, displays
her talent in typical style, character-
istic of her movie career. This
Astaire-Rogers motion picture is an
example of the musical comedy so
popular during the last few years.
With the use of the new movie
projector, the film appears in pro-
fessional style.
Several other committees are:
Chairman of the Ticket Committee,
Barbara Betham, with assistance
from Ruth Ambler, Joan Clark,
Sally Gaus and Ruth Weil. The
Poster Committee, headed by Bar-
bara Leslie, includes: Ellen Fletcher,
Lois Prescott and Marie Schmitt.

vidual homerooms in charge of

representatives, Nancy Bonsall, 228;
Janet MeNeil, “327; and Carol
Jacobs, 230 are responsible to Ruth
Ambler. Barbara Betham heads the
complete affair.
Margie Bookstein, general chair-
man, stated: “The junior class has
wonked hard to present a good en-
tertainment to the school.
“Everyone has cooperated very
well and has really tried to make
the show a success. I want to thank
all those who have helped on the
committee to make this possible.”

TO YOU
This is it. Here again is that annual, tire-
some editorial letting the school know that a
new staff has taken over the paper and as
usual they will do their very best. Fine. The
school is glad to hear that, but unfortunately
the school is still just a bit in the dark. They
want to be sure that they'll get the right kind
of representation and that on Fridays the
paper will be on their homeroom teacher's
desk so that they can grab a copy and scan it.
That reference to “they” in the preceding
sentences is just another way of saying the
Student Body, and the study body is you.
The kids from the various classes, mostly
this year’s juniors, are the ones writing the
columns, the sports, the everyday school news
which goes for high school enjoyment. These
staff members are just like you. They want
the paper to be a success just as you do, but
if they didn't, they certainly wouldn't waste
their afternoons up in the & W. office.
Therefore if we have the support of the writers,
why can’t we have the support of the whole
school? You who feel that the paper has noth-
ing to do with you, that you have no direct
interest in it, are barking up the wrong tree,
We want you to be pleased just as much as
the next fellow so that when you have a gripe,
you can let us know about it. We are all
human and so for that very reason, we want
to know when we let YOU down,
There are many changes. Yet, without
some kind of change a paper can never hope
to grow. It is the new staff's true desire to’
advance in such a way that there can be no
question next year at Columbia of the victor.

Skidmore College opened wide
her doors to some ten schools on
Saturday, April 6. Seven girls
the rest juniors. After lunch a tour
was slated which incluaea a visit
to the library. Mary Kilby ex-
plained the fine points of the build-
ing’s toundation (her tather buile it).
Volley ball, swimming, and ap-
paratus were yet to come. Three
games of volley ball were played
ana after the two, the juniors really
began to get the nang ot it. Of
course the seniors haa been play-
ing it all year so they knew im-
meaiately that the ball was sup-
posed to go over the net, not around
it!
Skidmore’s swimming pool was
delignuul. We aove tor pennies
tnac were thrown into the miaale
of the pool. What a scramble that
was! Water splasning and joyous
shouts literally shook the building.
‘he Chipmunks’ team beat the
| skunks by one penny.
Apparatus was great fun. Run-
ning and jumping from a spring-
board really called for skill. Swing-
ing down trom a high perch on a
rope took our breatn away, espe-
cially when Kilby slipped, scaring
us half to death.
We all made a mad dash for the
bus. After finally getting on the
bus, Mabel Martin (Marty) decided
she had to have a drink; so Joan
Clark ran into a store for a bottle
of coke. While she was gone, Mrs.
Tiezsen acciaentally sat on the horn
of the bus. The sound of the horn
brought Joan out of the store in a
cloud of dust. She grabbed a coat
and made for the bus, but quick!
Over vacation bowling was in
the spotlight. The juniors and the
sophomores played on a mixed
team. Joan Clark outshone them
all with a score of 135. “Red”
Austin packed a solid 139 in her
third attempt at the game.
At last, softball is here, or at
least a reasonable facimile. April
24th marked the first day of the
season. The seniors started out with
| a peppy class game. Jackie Pfeiffer
was right on her toes on first base.
The ball was pitched, making a hit.
The batter quickly ran to first base,
but, to her surprise, there was no
first baseman. She looked around,
and there was first baseman, Jackie,
running as fast as possible to second
base.
Mrs. Tiezsen has posted the In-
tramural Schedule. Badminton is
featured on every day but Friday.
Bowling is still on Mondays, Wed-
nesdays and Thursdays. Senior
Archery and Softball for the

pletes the picture for Monday.

ming will be on Thursday nights.

Junior Girls Drop Blazers |
The junior girls, according to Pat
Snyder, “47, have abandoned the
project’ of’ purchasing blazers, a
project begun early in the winter.

As a result, the class has decided
to buy small navy blue and white

Ode to the Senior Room
BARBARA SMITH
Blessings on thee, little room,
Big enough to hold a broom,
We thank thee for the way thou
tri
To squeeze the Senior Class inside.
We thank thee for the things thou
did,
To keep our secrets safely hid.
We're sorry that we marred thy
floors, z
And left ‘atches on ‘thy doors,
But it was hard, at times, you see,
To find the space for seventy-three.
We know thy walls are a disgrace,
But we ran out of blackboard space,
Thy window sill: are badly marred
From those who found their adding
hard,
Thy corner still recalls the way,
It harbored props for the Senior
Play.
It now contain:
We finally got
Thy radio endlessly strove to thrill
us,
But we wore it out on Forest Willis.
No wonder thy vie appeared so lazy,
After twenty themes of “You're
Driving Me Crazy”.
Next year be wise; give up the job,
f sheltering the senior mob.
When asked to do it just say, “Nix’
Never again may we see thee there,
Remember the class of °46.
In such deep depths of dark despair.
Fate save thee from this awful
doom.
Yes, blessings on thee, little room!

GIVE TO THE CANCER DRIVE!
Dear Joe and Josie Milnite:
Well spring has finally come, or
so the song writers seem to think,
‘cause they've suddenly burst forth
with a big stack of new songs to
really set you singin’) A tour of
we recora centers nas proved this.
the first thing 1 ran across was
a Columpia recoraing of Frank
sinatra’s “full Moon and Empty
Arms”, taken irom Rachmaninoff’s
secona Concerto, a numper you've
oeen hearing quite a bit ot late.
ine reverse aitty entitled “You Are
foo beaudful’” ieatures Frankie
who really puts it over. If you're
in a sentimental mood, you ll enjoy
tnis; it you're not, it will see tnat
you get into one.
Next came the Andrews Sisters
swinging along with “Coax Me a
Little Bit” and on the turnover,
‘Atlanta, The former is a
cute, catchy little tune, bound to
siay with you tor quite some time.
he arrangement ot “Atlanta, Ga.”
is good, but nothing exceedingly
wonderful.
Say, Josie, I knew you used to
like Glen Miller and his music, and
1 thought you'd prick up an ear to
hear that his old band is back, to-
sether with Tex Beneke, recording
two new tune., rather inappropri-
ate, ‘These are: ‘I’m Heaaing for
alifornia” and “Swing Low, Sweet
vhariot.” The latier is aone in that
well Glen Miller swing style, and
poy, it seems good to have that kind
of music back again.
Martha Tilton makes the front
page also with her rendition of
“There’s Good Blues Tonight” with
some added platters including, “Ah
Yes,” and “As Don’t Have
Mayor LaGuarcia used the phrase
‘patience and fortitude” at the end
of one of his more famous speeches
to the people of New York? Blackie
Warren and Billy Moore, Jr. picked
up the phrase and turned it into
the jive tune that Count Basie sends
over the air waves, and also
over the record counter.
This next item is especially for
Jce's benefit. He's a fan of “der
Bingle” and I'm sure he'll like his
new album of western songs. ‘Bout
time he put out an album like this.
“They Say It's Wonderful” shapes
up to be a popular platter of in-
creasing sales. Done by Perry
emo, this number will be soon
pearing around your local music
rner and as an added treat the
flipover features “Laughing On the
Ovt:ide, Crying On the Inside.”
Perry really adds to his popularity
list, as sales soar in this latest vocal
effort.
See you soon!
. Forever Ambler.
