legislature.
Officials Speak
The 500 delegates heard speeches
by several prominent officials, in-
cluding the Honorable Erastus Corn-
ing, Albany’s mayor. After the
talks, all settled down to hear, dis-
cuss and debate “the 40 bills’ that
were proposed. After an active day
of speeches, debates, and caucuses;|
all were ready for the evening's
program.

The Season’s Greetings _
Each year at this season | look forward to
the opportunity which the Crimson and White
affords for me to send the Season's Greetings
to each and every one of the Milne family be-
cause it gives me another reason to spend some
time in thinking about the basic ideals of
Christmas — peace on earth and good will |
toward men everywhere.
I hope that each of you will take some time
in the next week or so to look beyond the out-
ward symbols of Christmas — the lights, the
beautifully wrapped gifts, and the pleasant
times—to see how you can advance those basic
ideals. Each of us has to assess his own re-
sources of time, money, and ability to show he
can use those gifts to the betterment of the
world in which we live.
I know that I speak for the faculty, and |
am sure that | am reflecting the wishes of all
your schoolmates when | say that I hope that
this Holiday Season brings to each of you the
happiness which you merit and that the New
Year brings you the best of all that is good
for you.

Resolutions
Revealed
By RUTHIE SPRITZER
I felt poetic this time, so-o-0-0
T'was the day before New Years,
All over the world,
People, as usual
Their pledges unfurled,
Flunking college-man Bob
Knew his philosophy was all wrong,
And gave up for the New Year
Wine, women and song.
Mom, while glued to the mirror
Perceiyed at first glance
Her resolve must bo diet
If a dress she'd enhance.
High school Jim whose last girl
“Had left for another mister,
Firmly resolved in the New Year
'To treat all females as a sister.
Dad at his checkbook
Looking at Christmas bills to be paid
Willed that the present next
Christmas
Would haye to be all hand-made.
Sister Ann thought she’s tell
Her worst habit to scat
And pledged that in the New Year
She'd never be a cat.
Grandpa, so often worried
About his waistline getting wider
Decided the best thing to give up
Was his home-brewed hard-apple
cider,
Grandma, who had reached sixty-
five
And seeing her time was ripe
Decided to maintain some dignity
And stopped smoking her corn-cob
pipe.
Little Betty, Milnite seventh grader
Resolved to end her doom
By ceasing to ask directions,
That always led to the boys’ locker
room.
. Milne basketball pro
ars that this year the team
Will even beat Academy
And Shenendehowa we'll cream,
Then the week after New Years
T'was more than they could bear
And the signs of broken resolutions
Were apparent everywhere.
Bob is back at college
Still having all his fun
And poor mother, alas,
Continues weighing sixteen ton.
Jim’s again going steady
Ann's cattiness has no mar
Gramp is back again at his brew
And Grandma's taken up cigars.
Betty at the locker room
By the Milne boys still is met
And poor Jake hasn't had a chance
To break his resolve yet.
All the resolutions
Have taken their abuse
And all agree at New Year's time
It isn’t any use!
‘|are safe.
Class Attends
Art Exhibition
Humanities is one of the newer
courses offered in Milne, open to
members of the senior class. It is
built around the study of music, art,
and literature, and taught by three
|separate teachers, Mr. Smith, Dr.
York, and Mr, Haberer, Whenever
possible, these three topics are tied
together to form one main subject.
Students Examine Sculpture
One of the first field trips taken
by this year’s Humanities class was
planned by Mr. Haberer. The
Museum of History and Art was the
destination, and the reason for the
trip was to examine the paintings
and pieces of sculpture in the 11th
Annual Exhibition of the Albany
Artists Group.
Class Receives Assignments
Each student had the assignment
of picking out the picture he felt
was done best in the exhibition, the
picture not quite up to par, and the
one he disliked most. After choos~
ing these, it was necessary to write
a brief paper on his reason for lik-
ing or disliking the pictures.
Works Vary in Type
The paintings were done in oil
and watercolor, and ranged from
realistic to non-objective works, An
example of abstract painting was the
picture, “House At Night” done by
Mr. Cowley, last year’s art in-
structor, at’ Milne. Mr. Angelo
deSousa, the father of C&W. car-
toonist Willa deSousa, received first
place in the watercolor exhibition.
Trip Proves Profitable
The trip proved to be not only
interesting and enjoyable, but also
a very important aid in’ the fir
hand ‘study of art.
Seniors Exercise
Special Privilege
Many of the seniors during the
past two weeks have been getting
peculiar glances as they put their
coats on and walk out of the build-
ing during lunch period. They are
not violating the rules, but just
exercising the special senior privi-
lege of being allowed to go off
campus during lunch period.
Class Worthy,
Principal Says
meeting held late in
Dr, Theodore Fossieck,
Milne principal, announced that al
seniors would be allowed to go off
campus, providing they had the con-
| sent of their parents.
He, ‘together with the senior
homeroom advisors, felt that the
class was ready to assume the ob-
ligations that go with the privilege.
The seniors were told that as long
s they stay out of cars and are
| back for fourth period on time they
The principal also pointed
out that this privilege gives them a
sample of what college life is like.
So, under-classmen, when the
seniors leave school to eat lunch,
just think that in the not too distant
future, you'll be doing the same
thing.
JUNIOR
HIGHLIGHTS
By BUDDY MEHAN
Merry Christmas! Sounds famil-
iar, doesn’t it? Well, believe it or
not, Christmas is just around the
corner, Chances are if you are like
me you haven’t done your Christ-
mas shopping yet. But, to quote the
Knickerbocker News, we have only
six shopping days “til Christmas.
Better get busy.
Jr. High Elects Class Officers
For the first time in Milne’s his-
tory, which is a pretty long time,
the seventh and eighth grades have
elected class officers. The first
seventh grade president is Dave
Blabey. Filling out the rest of the
slate are Stuart Horn, Glenn Sim-
mons, Penny Prichard, Kenny Lock-
wood, vice president, ‘secretary, and
treasurer respectively, The eighth
grade card of officers is Jed Allen,
president, Chuck Lewis, veep, Linda
Driece, secretary, and’ Dave Male,
treasurer.
Both the seventh and eighth
grades feel that having class officers
is better than homeroom officers.

Meet the Freshmen
‘The junior high varsity, the frosh
team, is promising to be one of the
best in history. Here is a run down
of the nine man squad.
Don Lewis, the tallest member of
the team at 6'14%” is the potential
point scorer. Not many opponents
have been able to outjump him, and
this helps under the boards. Bob
Blabey is a back court man, and the
owner of a fine set shot and good
defensive ability. Bob is also a
scorer in the clutch. Kip Grogan’s
relaxer jump shot and all around
scoring ability continually helps the
club. His deadly accuracy from all
over the court makes him a threat
at any time, Fred Taylor hitting
with his push shot with great care
is a threat from the outside. But,
close in on him, and watch him
drive.
A real tough man to guard is Dick
Lockwood. Richie plays both inside
and back court. He can hit from
the side and is a demon in the
clutch. La

Campus Improved
Campus construction has been
taking place since the re-opening
of school this year around both
Milne and State.
Pago Hall Re-done
The first thing put under repair
was Page Hall auditorium, which, is
used by both Milne and the college.
Work started in May of last year.
The auditorium will receive a new
stage floor and lighting equipment,
The stage will also be widened.
Mr. Hugh Smith, English super-
visor and senior play advisor, noted
that the repairs in the auditorium
have forced this year's senior play
to be postponed until next semester.
Mr, Smith indicated, however, that
the crew of the play will be able
to make better use of stage effects
after the repairs. The auditorium
is expected to be finished by De-
cember 15th,
Richardson Room 20 Revised
Room 20, in Richardson Hall of
State college, where every Milne
student has taken an examination
at one time or another, is now being
divided into two smaller classrooms.
Ine students will no longer be
able to take mass examinations
there.

© Classrooms Painted
In addition to the college work,’
many Milne classrooms are being
painted, The English office has just
been finished, and the social studies
classrooms are in various stages of
completion. Some of the black-
boards are to be re-done after the
Christmas vacation.
The reason for all these repairs
lies in the age of the equipment,
much of which is 25 years old. It
is wearing out and needs repairing
or replacing, According to Principal
Theodore H. Fossieck, “New and
better equipment will enable us to
do things quicker, better and more
efficiently.”

‘Teammate Adds Spark
Promising to be an important
member of the squad—Howie Wil-
dove adds a lot of spark. He has
an inexhaustible supply of energy
which he uses with a great deal of
success, A real scrapper, “Tugboat”
should score many points this year.
Last and least is some unmention-
able fly-by-night, who plays so piti-
fully that he should not be men-
tioned here. The only information
that need be given at this time is
that his number is 27.

Entertainment
The junior high is still throwing
parties and open houses. If they
keep up at the rate they are now
going, I won't make mid-years. The
hoop seascn now in full swing, adds
another bit of entertainment which
must be attended, and is, loyalty
by the junior high, Also the frosh
games are well attended, ah-hem.
I suppose I should stop taking up
your time and close, so I will. But
before I do sign off, I would like
to wish you all the happiest of holi-
days and don’t get sick, for exam
time is creeping up. "Bye now and
have a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
