NEW SCHEDULE
First period classes in Milne will
begin at 9:00 A.M. and school will
close ten minutes earlier next year,
it was announced last wees by Dr.
Theodore H. Fossieck, principal. A
new daily schedule of class periods
will be introduced in Sepvember
1951 as a result of faculty evalua-
tion of the present schedule.

remain, are retained.
Class periods wiu be the state-
approved minimum length of 40
minutes next year, Faculty study
of the schedule which has been in
effect for two years revealed that
the 55 minute period did not work
out as effectively as expected,
The later opening time is expected
to reduce the amount of tardine:
to first period classes. Considera-
tion was given to the fact that many
students have to start from home
shortly after 7:00 A.M. under the
present schedule. Next year most
students will be able to leave for
ool after 8:00 A.M. Special per-
mission will have to be secured if
students are to be in the building
before 8:45 A.M. The new schedule
of ses as now arranged is:

Auction
Members of the senior student
council held ‘auction-assembly
April 10, during homeroom period
in Page Hall. Proceeds trom the
auction were for the benefit of the
foster Parents’ Plan for War Chil-
dren,
Items for this assembly were
articles accumulated in recent years
through Milne’s Lost and Found.
The problem of what to do with
these articles was brought up at a
student council meeting at the be-
ginning of this year. ‘The student
body then voted to have the auction
and to have the Foster Parents’ Plan
for War Children receive the bene-
awshaw, and he was as-
rious members of the
student body. Among the articles
sold at this auction were pens,
pencils, erase drinking straws,

Commenting on the assembly, Dr
Theodore H. Fossieck, principal,
said, “I believe that this is a worthy

Will Vt Work?
Found on the first page of this issue of your
Crimson and White is a story describing the
schedule planned for next year. As we read of
the plan, we begin to wonder about the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of a schedule such
as this.
Merits of this schedule do not quite over-
shadow its disadvantages. The greatest disad-
vantage lies in the ‘study period in homeroom.”
If we will recall, approximately three years ago
a similar plan was in effect. It was found
through a study resembling the one made re-
cently by the Milne faculty that this period did
not fulfill its purpose. Students did not use
this time for studying, as had been the original
plan. Instead it was used as a chance to play
baseball or sit and chat with your friends.
With the new schedule planned as it is, it will
be up to us to see that we are able to keep
this study period by using it in the way planned.
If the faculty is willing to give us another
chance, we should try to cooperate with them
to the utmost. By doing this we will not only
help them, but will enable ourselves to ac-
complish more than we did in the program of
three years ago. It is for our benefit that the
time for the first class has been advanced to
nine o'clock, so let's give as well as get, and
give the program a fair chance.
Letters, Please
Milne, and its students, is truly represented
by the publication, the Crimson and White.
The newly-established editors feel that the
principles and the many pleasant times are re-
flected in the choice of words and even the
layout of the paper's four pages.
The editors, feeling a bit humble and hesi-
tant, know that being placed in such re-
sponsible positions does not make them always
correct in their ideas. We want suggestions
and criticisms to be forthcoming from the stu-
dents, not only about the paper, but about the
Milne School as a whole.
We hope you will help us to make these
coming publications what everyone wants to
read and talk about. Here's to excellent issues,
we hope!

Baseball and Tennis
Familiar sounds associated with
America’s number one pastime once
more fill the air.
Baseball fever in Milne ravaged
the Ridgefield diamond the past two
weeks in order that the Red Raiders
would be prepared for their opener,
‘Nuesday, April 24.
Varsity ball club for this year is
made up of eight returning letter
men. ‘lhe remainder of the squad
consists of six of last year’s frosh
team and senior Paul Eckert who
will start in center field. In order
to review the fifteen-man squad
we will take a 300 yard tour of the
basepaths, starting at first base
waere senior Bob Mull has shown
very weil in practice. ‘I'he next
depot on the basepaths (second
base) is tended by Bill Wade, one
ot last year’s varsity regulars. Our
next stop is shortstop where we
meet another sophomore _ starter,
Doug Billion. Benny Walker, the
swong-armed sophomore, plays third
base and fills in on the pitcher’s
mound. Freshman Jud Lockwood is
second siring utility infielder. This
year's pitching staff is composed of
Bill Hayes, Dee Parker, and_ Dave
Clarke. ‘they are aided by Bunny
Walker and Ray Guertin. The
catching will be done by Ray Guer-
tin who is assisted by Art Melius
and Dick Nathan.
‘The outfielders represent all three
grades. Paul Eckert and Bob Calen-
dar are seniors, Don Coombs and
Don Leslie are sophomores, and
Dee Parker and Bill Hayes are
juniors.
It is only right that our tour
should be climaxed with a_state-
ment from the coach. Coach Grogan
has said that the Milne team is a
great deal improved, but they are
still a young outfit with mostly
sophomores. However, he believes
they will have a much better sea-
son.
Their first scrimmage against Al-
bany High School was a decisive
10-1 viclory for the Milnites.

Parker Captains
Tennis Team
With the return of five letter-
men, coaches Harry Culp, Marvin
Schwartz and Jim Clark are ex-
pecting a strong tennis team, Mr.
Culp, who graduated from Milne
in 1943, was captain of the tennis
team that year. Marvin Schwartz,
a local boy, is known in many Al-
bany tennis circles. From way up
North in Pulaski, New York, comes
Jim Clark, also a student at State,
as are Mr. Culp and Mr, Schwartz.
Heading the host of returning
lettermen is Frank Parker, --the
captain of this year’s tennis team.
The other regulars returning this
year are Tom Eldridge, last year’s
captain; and Dick Propp, winner of
last year’s most valuable player
award in tennis. Two other re-
turning players this year are letter
winners, Paul Vogel and Ed Bigley.
Paul Vogel was elected manager
this year. This position includes the
job of arranging the schedule, which
this year promises to be an excel-
Jent one, Others trying for starting
berths this year are junior Sheldon
Schneider, and phomores Bob
Bullis, Robert Richardson and Mike
Meyers.
Team Plans Meets
Golf will once again be featured
as a sport in Milne this year. Play-
ers who can qualify to be among the
top six will make up the team.
Membership for the team at present
is as follows: Elliot Livingston,
Ronny Thomas, Joel Levine, Bert
Sackman, and Erie Dodge.

Season’s First Lost
Milne opened its baseball season
on the Ridgefield diamond only to
suffer a 10-0 defeat at the hands of
the Van Rensselaer “nine.”
_ Scoring eight runs in the first two
innings put the victors out in front
early in the game at the expense
of DeForest Parker. A home run
with two men on base was slugged
into the tennis court in deep left
field by Ish Tonkin, accounting for
three runs. The second inning saw
a single to right center field by
Forrest, another hit by Bunno, and
a walk given up to Tonkin, loaded
the bases; a double brought these
three men across. A misjudged
fly to Eckert gave Cook a triple,
driving in the eighth run.
Parker was relieved at the top
of the third by William Hayes, who
succeeded in stopping the slugging
match momentarily, giving Bill
Wade a chance to walk to first, fol-
lowed up by Ray!
hit a single. Bi
flied out, retiring the side.
The top of the fourth saw a hit by
Pardo, Tonkin was awarded first
base after being hit by a wild pitch,
and taking quick advantage of his
position stole second.
A hit to left field, in addition to
two wild pitches, brought Rensse-
laer's last two runs across and
cooled them off by the remainder of
the game.
Clarke then replaced Hayes in the
top of the fourth. Little action was
experienced on either side. The re-
mainder of the ganle proved fruit-
less to both sides and the final score
was 10-0.
During a Boston-St. Louis game
last year, a sea gull flew over the
infield and dropped a fish at the
feet of Red Sox pitcher, Ellis Kinder.

By DORIS PERLMAN
Getting an inspiration for our first
column proved to be a fruitless
search, first we thought about
welcoming spring, the litte b
baseball, flowers, etc. but
you'd heard all that before,
idea was abandoned,
‘hen we thought:
be funny, write a hilarious column,
make ail the kids howl. So, using
all of the latest expressions includ-
“Ya slipped yer wig or some-
‘George,’ and “You're O.K,
in my book,” we pieced together a
column that looked like a script-
writer's nightmare, Realizing that
we didn’t have such a hot sense of
humor after all, we consigned said
literary masterpiece to the waste-
basket.
What do Milnites really like to
read? This was the real puzzle. It
was too late to conduct a poll such
as the one our worthy predecessor,
Hdith Cross did. And the sugg
tions given to Edith didn’t help u:
one iota. Gee whiz, what to write—
time was running out!
Tearing our hair (which made us
feel very protessional), we sat down
at the typewriter resolving to write
the first thing that entered our de-
cidedly unfertile brain(?). Ho hum,

we opened it and walked in, The

Glancing at the folder we saw the
title “Secret Information.” With
such an intriguing title, how could
anyine resist opening it? Inside
was a section marked “Ideas for
People Who Cannot Write Col-
umns.” This was too good to be
true! Not realizing that what we
were doing was not exactly honest,
we picked up the folder and started
for the door,

“Tam afraid that I have caught

two counts, you know. Theft, of
course, is the first one, but the
second and more serious of the two
charges is being non-creative and
lacking imagination. This is a very
serious crime for a columnist, you

Talent Review
Entertain School
By PENNY THOMPSON
Students of the Milne School
came through with a headliner "
Red Cross Keview,’ ‘Luesday, April
1/, 1991. Lhe assembly opened with
the school band blaring forth sey-
eral selections. As the music faded
away Dr. ‘theodore H. Fossieck,
principal, inwoduced the “master ot
ceremonies’ Hop Page, Bob then
in turn introduced Miss Jane Doran,
a representative ot the “Red Cross”
who was the guest of honor. At
this time an invitation was extended
to our students to help entertain
the veterans or the new hospital.
‘the entertainers were well pre-
pared to prove tnere was talent in
the hails of Milne. Larry Jenden
did a take off of a Jerry Louis re-
cord, Dick McChesney puzzled the
audience with his magic, after
which a vision of red appeared
while “Slaughter On ‘lenth Avenue”
was heard; yes, it was Doris Perl-
=
&
man doing a modern ballet. Jane
oianford, an eighth grader, sang
‘Bring Back the ‘Thrill.” | Next,
Cynthia Berberian in contrast
played Beethoven's “Sonata.” Judy
Jenkens, Ginny Pitkin, and Andy
Bower sang and danced to “My One
and Only Highland Fling.” All this
brought to a finale with our
a
T, V. stars, Joan sternfeld and
Bennett. Thompson doing “How
Could You Believe Me When You
Know I've Been a Liar All My

DORIS MEHAN
You have probably seen this little
five foot three C.&W. editor rush-
ing madly around the halls trying
to tackle one or two students who
just happened to forget their as-
signment deadline. Of course, you
know who she is by now—it's ‘our
own Dottie Mehan.
This bundle of energy was born
in Plattsburg, New York on Oct. 19,
1933. Dottie has attended eight
schools in her life, "She moved
away in her freshman year, but
returned to our hallowed halls as a
junior, whe:

Club.

of the French
Dottie has been a very active
of the forward line of the
girls’ basketball team (we forgot to
mention that she hails from Lou-
donville, which explains her athletic
ability.
It seems that Dottie just can’t
stand the thought of leaving Milne
(which she must eventually do,
she ranks third highest scholasti
ally in her class) so she is planning
to carry on her good work in State
College for Teachers.
DICK TAYLOR
“Dickie” was born on Nov. 10,
1933. At the ripe old age of 12, he
entered Milne, and has been a per-
manent fixture of our school since
that time.
This blond, blue-eyed, Casanova
moved here from Scranton, Pa., when
he was seven years old. While in
Albany he has acquired a younger
brother, many friends, and a 738
DeSoto (car, that is)
Dick has played basketball since
the eighth grade and was on the
varsity basketball team for two
s. He was on the baseball team
in his junior year. When he gradu-
ates, Dick plans to attend Penn State
and work his way up to becoming
a doctor.
Dick’s main dislike is cold water
and cold weathér, although he is
always ready for a toboggan party
in the winter. Strange, but for
some odd reason, he loves to pull
the toboggan back up the hills.
His favorite pastime is fishing,
and his favorite pets seem to be
dogs (especially setters). Never
argue with Dick about any of these
three things: Scranton, Pa., Came!
(cig.), or Oldsmobiles. In his es
mation, they are perfect.
