'|Drive for Defense
By John D, Morrison
The Student Council, in collabora-
tion with the faculty, inaugurated
a program last week whereby all
Milne students will be able to buy
Defense Bonds and savings stamps
right here in school,
Richard Bates, '43, treasurer of
|the Senior Student Council, is
chairman in charge of the sale and
distribution of the Stamps.
“By the end of January, every
Milne student should have bought
at least one dollar’s worth of De-
fense Stamps,” stated Dr. Robert
W. Frederick, principal, “Milne
t be identified with the war ef-
continued Dr, Frederick. “We
stand ready to do everything in our
power to help our country in its
crucial undertaking.”
“We want no slackers in this pro-
gram,” said Dr. Frederick. “Give up
a movie, a soda, or some other
things you don’t need. Use that
money for helping your country in
its greatest hour of need. There is
not one person in Milne who can
not afford, by giving up certain
non-essentials, to buy some Defense
Stamps. Contribute as much as you
can, Make it a habit to buy some
stamps every week or every month.
—And remember, no slackers.”
Success Assured
The success of the sale was assur-
ed by the end of the first day. The
Council bought fifty dollars’ worth
of stamps’ with appropriated
serye money in the school treasury.
The stamps sold so fast that by
Friday afternoon, only a few hours
after the drive was begun, the sup-
ply was almost completely exhaust-
ed. A new supply has been bought
since then.
Following is a list of the people
through whom bonds and stamps
can be acquired. Each one has
stamps of 11 denominations on
hand, and will get you a bond upon
request.

Our Best for Our Nation
“When the nature of our best contribution
is made clear, Milne students will rally, |
am sure, in support of those principles of de-
mocracy which Milne has always striven to
uphold.””
—Dr. Robert W. Frederick.
The nature of our best contributions during the
present emergency has been made clear, and we at
Milne have rallied to its support.
Student Council last week inaugurated in school
the sale of Defense Savings Stamps, and the re-
sponse was so overwhelming that the original supply
was exhausted in less than a day.
Such spirit is typical of Milne and such coopera-
tion must continue for the duration, if our gener-
ation is ever to see a world of peace and a nation
of economic prosperity. For the war debt will be
heavy—and it is through the purchase of Defense
Stamps and Bonds that we may help to balance this
deficit which in its entirety, will take years to com-
pletely wipe out.
And so, we at Milne, have started our job in
defense—a job representative of what we will do in
our role as civilians in a nation at war.
Boys Get the Dog
If you walked into the cafeteria of any high
school except Milne, you would see both boys and
girls eating and visiting together. It’s not an un-
common thing to find people of the male species
eating in cafeterias. Really, it’s done all the time,
but in Milne such a thing would seem to be more
than a misdemeanor.
The Milne cafeteria is, literally, infested with
girls. A boy there is as rare as a 100% in.a chem-
istry exam. Don’t the boys like to eat at tables
or are they afraid of the strength of the body of
Milne girls?
A solution is offered by the Crtmson AND WHITE
for this disconcerting problem, This solution is
very simple: Thursdays (hot dogs are on the menu)
the boys should take over the Cafeteria to the last
man, and the girls should very amiably mun¢h their
sandwiches i in the Annex.

Open Letters
To the Student Body
As we go to press this week, we are informed
of something that is cf vital concern. to every Milne
student—something that is beyond the control cf any
of us: Our printer informs us that for the past weeks
he has been losing about $10.00 on each edition of
the Critson ano Wuite he has printed for us. This is
so beczuse of the priorities necessary for the defense
of our nation.
For each ton of paper ordered, one-quarter of a
ton is received at an increased price, and this has
made the cost of a week’s issue $35.00 instead of the
$25.00 which we are charged.
To add to the seriousness of the situation, several
men have had to resign their positions with our print-
er and have become affiliated with defense work. It
is not an easy task, nor a quick one, to replace these
men, which makes it extremely difficult to get our
paper printed according to schedule.
This is the eleventh issue of the season, and be-
cause of our limited budget, and the price rise of
$10.00 per issue, we will not be able to go t6 press as
often as was originally planned. But we do promise
that all news in Milne will receive complete Crimson
and Waite coverage. If we should possibly receive
revenue from any other sources, we shall make every
effort to resume our original schedule.
‘And so it becomes necessary for us to cope with
the problem before us. The steps we are taking are
the only ones we see possible, and although it is harr
for us, we do it gladly, for it is but one small sacrifice
which must be made at a time when our nation’ is
fighting for its freedom.
The Caimson anv Waite Board
To the Student Body
*It was quite a disappointment when we learned
there was to be no dancing after our basketball games,
but there simply wasn’t any suitable place we could
use without too much expenses. The only arrange-
ment that was possible was that we hold tea dances
in the little gym after school. In case some of you
don’t know, they are held every Friday afternoon
at 3:30.
For music, we have the nickelodeon. The attendance
at these dances has been very discouraging. If more
people would support them, the ones that do go would
have more fun and more people would feel like spend-
ing their time at them. Let’s have a larze attendance
next Friday and an even better one after that.
Sincerely yours,
: M. J.E.

During Christmas vacation a
number of alumni were seen. The
Alumni Dance was quite successful
not only as a dance, but as to the
number of grads there. There were
ex-Milnites there from as far back
as the class of '37.
Some of the representatives of
that class were Bette Potter, and
Jack Beagle. Seeley Funk and Midge
Stanton, Marty Creesy, Bill Hotal-
ing and Ruth Winchester. Foster-
Sipperly, Grace Graulty, Dick
Game, and Meriam Powers were
there too.
More recent grads seen there were
Jane Stuart, '41, Don Summers, ’41,
Mare Myers, '41. Bill Wiley, ’41, was
there with Prissy Smith, ’42. A strik-
ing couple there was Ruth Selkirk,
and Bob Taft. Shirley Baldwin at-
tended also.
Couples still going strong were
Bette Farnan, ’41, ond Don Denure,
‘41, Shirley Smith, ‘41, and Bob
Schamburger, ‘41, Marilyn Tincher,
*41, and John Fink, ‘40, Gif Lantz,
"40, and Doris Mochrie, ’40.
Dot Schattuck, 39, and ‘Ed Stark-
weather, '39, Millie Mattice, 38, and
Joe Ledden, '38, engaged couples at-
tended the dance too.
Elaine Becker, ’41, Bette Tincher,
Larry M2pes, '41, Frank Hewes, ’40,
and Mary Baker, ’41, Fred Regan,
49 put in an appezrance.
Dick Selkirk caused quite a com-
metion in his army uniform.
The Juke Box —
Metronone, music magazine, has
recently completed a poll to deter-
mine what musicians were outstand-
ing on their respective instruments
this year. An All-Star band made
up from the results would run some-
thing like this—
Saxes—Toots Mondello, _ Benny
Carter, Charlie Barnet, Tex Beneke.
Clarinet—Benny Goodman, Trum-
pets—Zigegy Elman, Harry James,
Roy Eldridge. Trombones—Tommy
Dorsey, Jack Teagarden. Piano—
Count Basie. Guitar—Charlie Chris-
tian. Bass—Bob Haggart. Drums—
Gene Krupa. Vocalists—Frank Sin-
atra, Helen Forrest.
Claude Thornhill’s fine band
(whom yours truly has ‘been rooting
for all year!) was given the nod as
being “‘the year’s outstanding new
group.”
Hal Mcintyre, formally with Glen
Miller has formed his own band and
from all reports they will be the
band you will hear a lot about in the
future.
The King of Swing, Benny Good-
man, has hit new heights on his
sensational record, “The Earl.” Ben-
ny on the “licorice stick” and Mil
Powell on’ the piano are outstand-
ing.
Glenn Miller finally waxed “Slum-
bersong.” It’s light and pleasant
listening with Beneke doing some
sweet sax work.
Ray Eldridge, torrid lead trumpet
man with Gene Krupa has come up
in the past year till he’s second only
to James and Elman in the polls.
Just listen to some of Krupa’s re-
cordings and see why.

Now that snow has settled on the
ground once more the ski enthusiasts
are out every chance they can get
to ski at the Municipal Golf Course,
at the various ski clubs around Al-
bany, and in the Helderbergs.
Miss Hitchcock’s Ski class on Sat-
urday morning turned out to be
quite a class, There were quite a
few people present, The class was
made up mostly of the younger peo-
ple. Girls learned how to fall, of
which Joan Traver and yours truly
know all the tricks. If you ever get
in a difficult position with two long
sticks clamped to your feet, call on
either Joan or Mimi to help you out.
Believe me, they have been stuck in
plenty of jams,
Ruth Ketler is quite a skier.
Juniors Surprise Seniors
Last Friday afternoon the seniors
were handed quite a surprise when
the juniors defeated them in their
basketball game. Although it was
@ close game, the seniors fought
hard and well, while the juniors had
a little trouble in the second half
breaking up the senior guard meth-
od. The championship game be-
tween these two teams on Gym
Night promises to be a very thrill-
ing event and close, too.
No matter what the outcome will
be, it will be a hard fought game.
Mickey Baldwin thought she
would like to go down a nice smooth
hill at the Municipal Golf Course
last Saturday morning, but did she
get a surprise when she hit that
snow drift at the bottom!
Skiers Practice
June Black and yours truly de-
cided to brave the cold Sunday af-
ternoon to practice what they
learned Saturday at Miss Hitch-
cock’s class. During the course of
the afternoon, they encountered Bob
George, John Wilson, and Sandy
Golden trying to ski. They encour-
aged us to climb a 90 deg. cliff (with
skis on, of course). This took about
a half hour and upon reaching the
top we decided not to ski down—
Bob went down though—in a heap.
Early Friday morning G.A.C. held
its first meeting since the Council
of ten was selected. President Mari-
lyn Potter went around threatening
to use harsh words if the people se-
lected did not show up—but they
did, And guess who was late—none
other than “Mar.” “I missed my
bus,” said she. A likely story!
Recreational Dancing
Sponsored by B.A.C.
Dancing in the Milne Gym will
take place from 12:00 noon to 12:45
P.M. during the weeks of January
19th to Friday, January 23, as a
means of mid-day relaxation from
semester examinations.
The dancing will be under the
sponsorship of Boys’ Athletic Coun-
cil, and the council’s nickelodeon will
provide music.
“Due to the fact that we are in
need of funds for new records, it will
be necessary to use the nickelodeon
on the ‘drop a nickel’ basis” stated
Sanford Golden, ’42, speaking for
BAC.

have practically a one-man team in
Don Farrell, He has an astounding
eye for long shots. Twenty of Rens
selaer’s points were scored by Far
rell, practically all of which were
taken from mid-court.
The most amazing thing last Fri-
day was the drubbing which the
Milne Juniors gave the Rensselaer
av.
The Albany High Jayvees were
defeated by the East-Siders and our
JV beat Rensselaer by twenty points
which means we have a darn good
Jayvee.
More Good Support
There was a good sized section of
Milne rooters at the game. Bven
though there weren't nearly so
many there as there are at a home
game, they did a lot of cheering.
Let’s try to do as good a job at the
Delmar game tonight. It won't be
any pushover to take Delmar.
Greenville defeated Bethlehem
Central, and as you will recall Milne
took Greenville before vacation.
Tomorrow night the Red Raiders
take on Cobleskill on Page Hall
Court. Let's bring all our parents
around to this game and have a big
crowd on hand. ‘This is the second
game in two nights for the Milne
Quintet.
Milne will face East Greenbush in
another home game on Friday night,
January 23.
Bowlers Active
Our newly formed bowling team
seems to be doing quite well for it-
self. It took Vincentian last Friday
afternoon at Rice's Alleys.
Last Saturday found many Miin-
ites at the Municipal Golf Course
skiing. Many of them seemed to be
doing quite well at this exciting
sport. '
To represent our faculty on the
slopes was Mr. Kinsella, who is quite
an expert skier.
On the more humorous side of the
slopes was Ed Bookstein. He tried
his hand at skiing for the first time
Second Loss in Five Starts
For Milne High Basketeers
The Milne basketball team suf-
fered its second loss in five starts
at the hands of the Rensselaer quin-
tet last Friday night, January 9, on
the opponent’s court.
‘The Milne team took an early lead
in the contest, but the end of the
first quarter found the East Siders
ahead by an 11-9 score,
At half-time Rensselaer held a
substantial lead over the Red Raid-
ers, leading by 22-13.
6 Points Behind
The Milne team fought a brilliant
second half and the end of the third
quarter found them only a half doz-
en points behind the lead.
The fourth quarter was the most
exciting and hard played of the
game. At one point the Red Raiders
were but a point behind, and with
one minute to go Milne was behind
by only two points.
At the final whistle the score was
38-36 in favor of the East-Siders.
Hal Game was high scorer for
Milne with 11 points. Clark was
close behind with 10 points.
J. V. Takes Fifth Straight
The Milne Junior Varsity, under
the coaching of Dan Bucci, won its
fifth straight game out of five starts.
Victim of the 29-9 onslaught of the
Juniors was the Rensselaer Jayvee.
It was a real holiday for our boys.
‘They played good offensive ball and
an excellent defensive game, allow-
ing their opponents to score only 9
points in 28 minutes.
“Smily” Mort Swartz was high
scorer for the juniors with a total
of 10 points. Teddy DeMoss was
close in back for honors in this
department.

Frederick Announces
Tentative Air Raid Drill
Another air raid drill for Milne
students will be held early in Feb-
ruary, according to present plans of
the administration, it was an-
nounced this week by Dr. Robert W.
Frederick, principal.
Plans for evacuation have been
drawn up, but during an actual air
raid, the building would not be
evacuated unless it caught fire or
unless severe damage was done.
Announcement pertaining to the
drill will be made in assembly, so
that both students and faculty will
be thoroughly familiar with the pro-
cedure to be followed.
In line with the school’s policy of

identification of foreign and United

Martin Edwards
Enlists in Navy
One of the latest Milne Alumni to
join the Navy is Martin Edwards,
41, better known as “Marty.” He
took out his papers early in Decem-
ber, but he wasn’t sworn in until
December twenty-ninth, as he
wanted to graduate first. At pres-
ent, he is having a three weeks
training period at Newport, Rhode
Island.
Edwards likes it very much and
says the food is good. Most of his
time is spent drilling and attending
classes; which consist of courses in
seamanship, hand-to-hand combat,
swimimng, and guard duty. In fact,
Marty spent New Year’s Eve on
guard duty from midnight until four
o'clock New Year's morning.
The new boys are restricted to
the training grounds for three weeks
without visitors, but they have their
evenings free.
The main reason Mart is at New-
port is to have innoculations against
malaria, typhoid, and lockjaw.
Edwards was very active when in
Milne. He was a member of Adel-
phoi Literary Society, business man-
ager and basketball captain. Last
year, he was the basketball manager
of the school team, He was also a
member of the tennis and bowling
teams.
John Kinsella
To Return Home
Mr, John Kinsella, supervisor of
"| senior high school mathematics, will
leave Milne on Saturday, January
24, to resume his work in the mathe-
maties department at the Newburgh
Free Academy in Newburgh, New
York.
Mr. Kinsella is a native of New-
burgh, and he, his wife, and his
small son will return there after his
departure from Milne. His family
was in Albany with him during his
stay here.
When asked his opinion of Milne,
Mr. Kinsella thought a while and
said, “I think that Milne students
have a very questioning frame of
mind. From observation I find that
this is found in Milne students more
than in any other students I have
taught. ‘They don’t take things on
the teacher's say so, but want well
reasoned answers. This trait is very
valuable in a democracy like the
United States.”
Mr, Kinsella finds the student
teacher system quite different from
the teaching system in Newburgh
and said, “The student teachers are
inexperienced, of course, but they
are checked carefully by the super~
visors. “By the way,” he com-
mented, “Milne has a very exper-
ienced group of supervisor:
Mr, Kinsella graduated from State
College in 1928 and then taught in
Piedmont, New York, and Monti-
cello, New York, before teaching in
Newburgh. He is now working for
his Doctor of Education degree at
Columbia University. He will com-
mute to New York City on Satur-
days and will. complete his courses
there by the end of the summer.
School Seniors
Resume Winter
Class Activities
Class Officials Announce
Plans for Pins, Rings
Dorothy Signer, ’42, chairman of
the senior class pin committee, an-
nounces that the first shipment of
school pins was received last week,
and pins have been distributed to
purchasers.
Students who still desire to order
a pin may do so, as another order
will be placed in the near future. A
list for orders will be posted on the
senior school bulletin board. Pins
can be obtained with class numerals
for any year. Money must accom-
pany all orders, she continued.
Class President Walter Grace, ’42,
appointed an Announcement Com-
mittee to select commencement an-
nouncements for the senior class.
Members of the committee are Pris-
cilla Smith, Ethel Baldwin, and
Walter Griggs.
Business Manager Gribbs made an
announcement that an order was
placed for class rings before Christ-
mas vacation. This was the third
of its kind, the other two having
been made in previous years. Mr.
Paul Murphy, of the Spartan Jewel-
ers, Buffalo, took orders for rings for
about twelve seniors recently. An-
other ring order will take place in
the spring.
All but about ten seniors have
posed for their class pictures for the
Bricks and Ivy. Most of them have
received unfinished proofs which
must be returned in person to the
studio, after selection of a definite
proof.
“Seniors who have not yet had
their pictures taken are reminded
that if the Bricks and Ivy deadline
is not met, their pictures will not
appear in the yearbook,’ stated
Grace,
Milne Girls Aid
Red Cross Drive
Many senior and junior girls from
Milne are aiding the Red Cross drive
for the American War Relief Fund
by soliciting for money in front of
Albany theatres from 7:00 to 9:00
p.m, every evening this week.
All the senior high schools in the
city are co-operating with the Sen-
ior Red Cross in this cause. Miss
Barbara Evans, junior secretary of
the Albany Chapter of the Red
Cross, has selected these girls to
help. “Any student who wishes
his name attached to this list should
get in touch with me or their home-
room Red Cross Representative,”
said Miss Naomi Hannay, Milne Red
Cross sponsor.
Some of the girls that have al-
ready aided in this drive are Marion
Horton, Marcia Schifferdecker, Lois
Ambler, Joyce Hoopes, Corrine Ed-
wards and Ellen Willbach of the
senior class, and Marie Edwards and
Nancy Eddison of the junior class.
