Problems Confuse
New Milne Students
By Pat Ashworth, L
Greetings and salutations! In other
words—“Hi, welcome to Milne.”
We'll agree with the seventh
graders that the first few weeks
are rough. Everything seems so
confusing especially when you find
yourself going down the “up”
and going up the “down” stair:
don’t let it bother you becaus
year there will be another
Levine
group
of seventh graders, who will be just
as confused, if not more, than you.
Besides the new seventh graders
there are many new faces in the
upper classes.
The eighth grade welcomed Alan
Tamaroff, Saily Simmons, Toby Lee
Stone and Katherine Kendall.
Among the ninth graders
James, Owen Hart, Francis Rogler,
Ronald Dillon
Peter Meyers, and
David Muirhead. This year the
tenth grade has an exceptionally
large number of new students. They
include Frances Mitchell, Pat Reilly,
|John Malpaus, Bev McDowell, Bill
| McCully, Rosemary Chura and Elliot
Livingston, The juniors lone new
|face is Allen Evans, and there are
|no new arrivals in the senior cla
The general opinion of the new
|students, toward Milne, is unani-
mously, favorable:

‘This year because the auditorium was being
painted, the annual opening assembly was
omitted and for the first time in many years
we were not greeted with that phrase, ‘Milne
is a friendly school.’ Despite our joke about
it, the statement is true.
Even as confused little seventh graders we
were aware of that friendly feeling and since
then that feeling has just seemed to grow and
grow. It sounds as if we're singing the praises
of Milne, we are! And we hope for all you
new students that it won't be long until you
are singing along with us. To us, that kind
of song is the very best that ever was written.

after a 40-yard punt by Art Cardell.
The Averill Park team drove for two
first downs, but were stopped short
of the goal line as the Milne defense
stiffened.
After getting the ball on a punt
from deep in Raider territory,
Penny of Averill ‘Park took the ball
on an end around and went for the
first score of the ball game. The
try for the extra point was wide
and Averill Park went into the lead,
6 to 0, The victors added another
touchdown when they recovered a
Milne backfield fumble and scored
on a short pass from Hendrickson
to Kakex. Again the extra point
was missed and Averill Park in-
creased its lead to 12 to 0.
Milne took the kick-off but lost
the ball on «owns, and the quarter
ended with the victors attempting

In the first of the second quarter
Milne got a drive underway after
receiving an Averill Park punt.
Dee Parker got Milne’s down of
the game, and Bill Hayes followed
with two more in spite of+a five

The drive came to an abrupt halt
when Collins of Averill Park inter-
cepted one of Ray Guertin’s pai
intended for right end, Alec Pirnie.
Milne’s Defei Stiffens
Averill Park was unable to move
against the stiffening Milne defense
and the Crimson and White took
over on downs. After Bill Hayes
had picked up nine yards in two
running plays, Ray Guertin flipped a
pass to big Ed Butler for a first
down. Hayes grabbed another first
down for the Crimson tide of Milne
by smashing through the line after
two pi attempts were broken up.

Insurance Given
Milne Students
General accident insurance is
again being extended to Milne stu-
dents by courtesy of the DeMoss
Insurance Agency.
This plan guarantees to reimburse
the parents for any medical expense
which may arise from an accident
in which a student is injured at any
time during the school year of 1949-
1959.
ays Fees
Reimbursement is made for re-
sulting X-ray: hospital, laboratory,
nurse's, sician’s. surgeon's, and
medicinal fees. The plan also in-
cludes dentist bills for repair and
replacement of teeth,
A new feature to be noted is that
the student does not have to he
admitted into a hospital as a patient.
The cost of treatments up to $500
at home or in a doctor’s office is
taken care of in the insurance plan.
Rates Are Lower
All accidents, whether occuring
inside or outside of school are cov-
ered by the plan, Since the pl
is on a semi-group basis, it is avail-
able at lower rates than if taken
up individually. ‘The cost is $5.00
for girls and $10.00 for boys.
