Congratulations?
It would seem probable that the last editorial an
editor of this paper writes would be one of those
reminiscent type things which thank everyone for
everything and depict, in glowing phrases, the wonder-
ful past, present dnd future of the school.
Therefore: Hasn't it been a wonderful year! Thank
you, staff. You did fine work. Thank you, Milne stu-
dents. Your cooperation in the past twelve months
has endeared you to me. And last, we are looking
upon a golden age. It is up to you, the illustrious
students of the Milne school, to realize your full poten-
tial and take advantage of all opportunities to make
your lives full and complete.
There, now. No one can say I didn’t do what I was
supposed to. However, I am actually of a somewhat
different opinion on the subject of future glory.
Milne students are, for the most part, able. They
are able to work, to think, to imagine and to create.
But also, for the most part, they are lazy.
I know whereof I speak—I am lazy and will always
avoid unpleasant tasks if at all possible. So is the rest
of my class. Last marking period, there were 30 mem-
bers in our class of about 60 who had D's or U's on
their report card. This is a fine record of laziness,
and we have hopes of beating it this marking period.
And yet, lazy as we are, from where I see it, the
rest of Milne is at least as bad, if not worse. Why is
it that 60 lower classmen are willing to write for the
Crimson and White, but only two underclassmen will
type for it?
The lower classes have shown me almost nothing.
I see talent here and there, but seldom is it developed.
I see laziness everywhere.
“Not fond of exertion,” the dictionary calls laziness.
What do you expect, someone to be actually fond of
exertion? All right, we can't ask everyone to be fond
of exertion. But is this any reason for them to avoid
the work which Milnites once did? For Milne stu-
dents were not always lazy, you know. They carried
on many activities, put out a paper every week, and
set an example which we no longer follow.

Notes and Comment |
Have you ever noticed how often the name George
Houston has been in this paper in the last year? Do
you want to know why George Houston is in so often?
Well, George Houston is the editor of this paper, and |
editors can put their name in their paper as often as
they like. They can even write an article using their
name, such as George Houston, many times, if they
wish.
Proceeding to another topic, we wonder how many |
| people realize that the C&W almost underwent several |
radical changes last year.
The first was brought about when the staff expressed |
dissatisfaction at being able to publish an issue only
once in three weeks. Many plans were presented, and |
the one finally chosen was a merger with Life maga-
zine. This almost succeeded, and would have, too if
the Life people had not refused our offer.
Another change nearly, came about when grumblings |
were heard concerning the narne of the paper. Several |
new names, among them Milne Metro, The Tri-Weekly |
Worker, and The Houston Chronicle, were suggested. |
The staff seemed to want the name to be the New York |
Times, however, and would accept no other. Of course,
this was impossible, and the name stayed Crimson and
White. |
Probably the finest suggestion was that of giving the |
paper a guillotine, to be used at the editor’s discretion
on persons handing in late articles. Any persons
interested in running a drive to raise money for this
project may contact the editor.

Cohoes has been somewhat erratic
this year, due mainly to the fact that

Cohoes jumped off to a fast start,
winning their first three ball games.
But recently, they have dropped
some important contests including a
20 point setback at the hands of
Watervliet.
Height, Bench Problems
Hampered by a lack of bench
material, Gully has usually been
forced to go all the way with starters
Walt Colley, Bob Daubney, Gil
Bither, Bob Gillie and Butch Heroux.
Heroux has been the only consistent
scorer of the quintet, racking up an
average of about 15 points a game.

Heavy fouling proved to is the +
downfall of the Milne hoopsters for
the second consecutive week as they
dropped a 62-58 decision to the
Plainsmen of Shenendehowa in a
game played Friday, February 21,
on the Page gym floor.
Wes Jacobs chalked up 23 markers
for the Crimson, who led 28-26 at
half-time before finding themselves
on the short end of the scoring in
a closely battled second half, in
which neither team led by more
than seven.
Both teams fouled often due to
the pressing defense that each team
employed.
Bill Claney and Nick Serba ripped
the cords for 24 and 21 points, re-
spectively, to pace the Elnora quin-
tet.
Tron Five Take t
In a tense, exciting battle, Miln
“Tron Five” notched their first Capi-
tal District league victory when they
overpowered a homestanding Lan-
singburg squad, 58 to 55.
All five Milne starter
double figures with Wes Jacol
points leading the parade, Nick
Safford of ’Burgh gained individual
scoring laurels for the evening with
23 markers.
Things looked grim for the Gro-
ganmen who were down 17-13 at
the end of the first period and were
still trailing 33 to 30 at the end of
the first half.
But in the second half,
Blabey’s 100 per cent field shooting
sparked the Raiders, who tied the
game at 42 all when the buzzer
sounded ending the third period,
With five minutes remaining,
Milne found itself on the short end
of a 51 to 48 score. This was soon
remedied by two free throws by
Rich Lockwood and a tap-in by Kip
Grogan. However, a bucket by Staf-
ford put Lansingburg back into the
lead, 58 to 52. Then Milne tallied
to go ahead by one, and added an-
other hoop plus a charity toss to ice
the victory.
Daggett Paces J.V. Comeback
Led by Mike Daggett’s 18 points
and Mic Grogan’s fine board work,
the Milne junior varsity turned
aside Lansingburgh 46 to 29, Down
at the end of the first half,

RICHARD LOCKWOOD
Who's that red-headed flash on
the hoop court? Who's that righ
handed whiz on the diamond? What
are you, new at Milne? You idiot,
that’s Richie Lockwood.
You would have to be a late ar-
rival to be unacquainted with Richie.
Not only is he a one-man olympic
squad, but he is a one-man list of
club officers. Rich is president of
MBAA., vice ident of Theta
Nu, and past r of the Junior
Student council.
Richard, or “Peaches and cream”
as the girls know him, will probably
be right around the corner at State
college next year. (That way he can
keep his eye on the staircase traffic
at Milne for a third year.)
When I asked Richie what he does
with his spare time (as I ask every-
body) I found it rather difficult to
extract a straight ansy Finally
I got this much out of him, “I spend
my spare time in West Albany.”
I wonder why he does that. I
he must know someone who
lives out there

“Mr. Wynn, why are there only
two electrons in the first shell?”
“Are you sure lithium’s atomic
number isn’t seven? Why isn’t it?”
These and many other interesting
questions which we dare anyone to
answer are brought up every Wed-
nesday afternoon from 2:25 to 2:50.
This is because Mr. Wynn is holding
a special ninth grade class.
This class, a very new one, is in
chemistry, at least an introduction
to it. The pupils are learning the
elements, their atomic numbers, and
physical and chemical char-
ties.
kids who are in it—those
brave souls—are John Bildersee, Jan
Surrey, Dick Doling, Judy Margolis
and Bob Henrickson.
Student Council Gives Dances
Coming events planned by the
Junior Student council are the ninth
grade dance in March and the entire
junior high dance in May. At this
affair Paul Flanagen will be present
as disc jockey. An eighth grade
dance is being discussed but nothing
definite has been decided.
A new project recently started is
that of putting the next day’s cafe-
teria menu in the daily bulletin.
(Now we'll know when sandwiches
from home will be safer eating.)
_ The budget now stands at approx-
imately $137. Even though most of
this is going to pay for the junior
high dances, some of the’dance ex-
penses will be made up by selling
cokes.
Milne Pictures
In 7-Nation Show
Four conceptions of a trip to the
moon by Milne students have been
chosen for use in an international
project. Robin Dawes, a former
Milne student, Charles Grogan, Don
Kingston and Mark Kupperberg
have all won recognition from the
International Art Exhibition and
Film project.
Their pictures, which they did last
spring and sent in during June, have
been selected for use in a moving
picture of a trip to the moon com-
posed entirely of pictures by stu-
dents.
Seven Countries Participate
In addition to students from Aus-
tria, France, Germany, Russia, Japan
and Great Britain, 150 United States
schools participated in the project.
It is sponsored by the Austrian Min-
istry of Education and the Viennese
school authorities.
The film, produced by the Cen-
tropa-Film’ corporation, will be re-
leased for international distribution
in the near future.
