Homerooms Give
Christmas Cheer
Eighteen families will have a
merrier Christmas thanks to the ef-
forts of Milne students. These famil-
ies are the recipients of the Chi
mas packages prepared by Milne
homerooms.
Throughout the past week, Mil-
nites have brought in items, rang-
ing from little toys to huge tins of
food, to help the family their home-
room is sponsoring. Clothes, espe-
cially for children, and just plain
money have also been contributed.
+Yearly Giving Custom
Every year Catholic Charities pro-
vides information about nine needy
families to the Milne administration.
The Protestant Family and Child-
ren’s service of Albany also provides
nine families.
Each homeroom is given a family
from Catholic Charities one year,
then a family from the Protestant
Service the next year. The home-
reoms know neither the family nor
the Service providing it.
The Services pick up the pack-
ages on the afternoon of the last
day of school before Christmas va-
cation. Usually about a ton of
merchandise is collected.
There are almost as many plans
for filling the packages as there are
hemerooms. Some homerooms make
out a complete menu for a day, and
provide all the food the
Others bring in money and
have a committee purchase toys and
food for the children. Still others
give enough money to cover ex-
penses for a Christmas meal

Students’ Opinions
THE SENIOR ROOM
Bees oe
Editor’s Opinion
Milne has long been noted for its
liberal treatment of students. They
[plan their budget and run all their
jactivities. They accept responsibil-
ity and are treated as intelligent
people. Senior privileges are an-
other part of this liberality, and the
[Senior room is one of the chief
senior privileges.
The Senior room was founded to
help seniors learn to accept respon-
sibility and become mature persons.
It was originally meant to aid in
as you. Your response to the Christ- |
mas basket program in the home-
rooms is one way in which you can
do this. We are sure that you will
find others. |
Concern for the needs of others |
is one of the signs of the maturity
which we are trying to help you de-
velop. If you can get satisfaction
out of helping others, you will have
the Christmas Spirit indeed and our |
wish for a Merry Christmas for you
will come to fulfillment.

League Rewards
Sportsmanship
Milne, as a school, has a chance
to win an award this year. The
Capital District league is experi-
menting with an award for the most
sportsmanlike schooi at basketball
games.
Following every game, each ref-
eree will rate the team, the cheer-
leaders, and the fans, ‘as to their
sportsmanship. He will mark his
ratings on a card provided for that|
purpose and mail the card to the
secretary of the league.
Let’s Win!
At the end of the season, the rat-
ings will be tabulated. The school
rated by the referee as having the
best sportsmanship will win the
award.
Fans are to be judged generally
as to thei: attitudes and actions
during the game. If Milne is to win
this award, the fans at the basket-
ball games must be reasonable. They
should demonstrate both intelli-
gence and knowledge of the game

Room Loses Original Purpose
Does it serve the purpose now?
No. There are extensive and de-
tailed instructions as to the treat-
nent of this room, down to “waste

” It doesn’t take any
paper
senior need not be responsible to
follow this list of laws.
Yet this is not all. The Senior
room has now become a prize for
those students who get good marks
and follow school rules, Does this
make responsible students? All this
does is establish the Senior room
|as an award given to those students
who obediently follow school regu-
lations and keep up their marks.
Two Solutions Possible
There are two ways this problem
may be solved. First, if the state-
ment “any seniors demonstrating re-
sponsibility, in the opinion of the
faculty, may use the Senior room,”
were substituted for the present
laws, the room would lose some of
its reward-for-being-good quality.
Second, and probably more perman-
ent (though not necessarily better)
would be the complete disbanding of
the Senior room and its establish-
ment as a classroom.

Lone Victory
In the first two weeks of compe-

come up with one victory in five
games, a non-league affair with
Cobleskill. The four losses were to
te-ms in the Capital District league,
and its winless record leaves Milne

‘Burgh by One in Overtime
In the most thrilling encounter
of the young season, Lansingburgh
eaked out a 54-53 decision over
Milne in two overtimes.
A sparse home crowd was treated
to a nip and tuck battle in which
the outcome was not decided until
ix minutes of overtime play had
sen completed,
Milne appeared to be in complete
control of the situation and led at
the end of the second quarter, 27-22,
At the start of the second half,
Coach Grogan ordered a full court

However, during this defensive
maneuver, Wes Jacobs, who had ac-
counted for eight points and played
ily his best floor game, grabbing
rebounds from the much taller
‘Burgh forwards, fouled out, Also,
Bob Blabey, Jeff Segal and Dick
Lockwood amassed 12 fouls between
them. Because of the foul situation,
the press was reduced, and in the
fourth quarter Lansingburgh caught
up, knotting the score at 46 all at
the end of regulation play.
Grogan Cans Four in Overtime
Kip Grogan controlled the tap,
and the Raiders worked the ball
around looking for the shot that
would give them their first league
victory, Grogan hit on successive
jump shots from the corners, but
6 foot 6 inch Bob Nelson converted
four foul points to tie it up. Bob
Blabey then connected on his favor-
ite running jump shot. However,
nother Lansingburgh basket ne-
sitated the second, sudden-death,
overtime.
By now, all but Grogan and Lock-
wood of Milne’s starters had fouled
out. Then Walt Sambrook dropped
in a foul shot, and Lansingburgh
froze the Bee foe the remaining one

Milne had three men in double
figures, Kip Grogan with fourteen,
Bob Blabey and Dick Lockwood

VanNess & Co. Victorious
Hudson handed Milne its third
setback in five days by a score of
59-45 Tuesday, December 9, on the
Hudson court.
Bob VanNess .controlled _ both
boards for the home team, as they
scored heavily from inside’ the foul
line. VanNess accounted for a total
of 18 points, including five field goals
on tap-ins. Jim Hughes and Jay
Whitbeck each scored 11, the former
also aiding his team with expert
ball-handling. Milne’s scoring was
led by Kip Grogan and Wes Jacobs,
who scored 16 and 12
points re-
spectively,
Milne trailed from the opening
minutes of the game, as Hudson
moved to quarterly leads of 14-11,
32-19 and 44-31,
Cohoes Rallies To Top Milne
Butch ‘Heroux scored 22 points to
lead Cohoes High school to a 52-46
victory over Milne on the Page hall
court, Saturday, December 6
Milne moved to an early lead in
the contest, leading 19 to 7 after
one period of play. The well-drilled
Cohoes squad had no intentions of
being pushovers, however, as they
employed a full court press to fight
to a 2
mission, The second half was hotly
contested, and only in the final min
utes of the game did the visitor
pull out of reach. Their lead at the
24 minute mark was 3

hind 6 foot 8 inch Chet Rysendorph’s
23 points. The contest was played
on the Page hall floor December 5.
Milne started off well, but their
13 to 9 lead after the first casita
was quickly overcome by the A
al city five, who took a 28-20 lead
at halftime. Milne closed the gap
new
to four points with successive fast
breaks by Bud Mehan and Bob
Blabey, but Watervliet, with the
giant Rysendorph controlling both
boards, expanded their lead to 53~

ning by 23 points.
Kip Grogan led Milne’s scoring
attack with 13 markers, while Dick
