Help Milne - - - and Yourself
Milne offers many opportunities to learn, not only
about the limited number of subjects which you study
but about yourself and about other people. One good
way to broaden your interests is to participate in some
of your school’s varied and worthwhile extra-curricu-
lar activities.
We are not trying to recruit you for any club or
project; rather, we are suggesting that you examine
your extra-curricular activity record with the idea
that it can be improved in one way or another.
In too many cases, we feel, the Milne student tends
to assume excessive responsibility or, on the other
hand, sits back and lets someone else do the job.
Regrettably, the success or failure of numerous Milne
functions or clubs must be attributed to those few
people actually responsible for the work involved,
‘Although this is the case in many schools, it need not
be at Milne. Our school is small enough so that every-
one may participate in the activities of his choice,
but large enough so that the responsibility of these
activities need not rest on the shoulders of a few.
Why are extra-curricular activities so important?
Because they help you to assume a reasonable amount
of responsibility. Because they acquaint you with
new friends, ideas and skills. Because they may be a
deciding factor when you apply to a college or place
of employment.
Spend your after school hours wisely, and you will
profit both your school and yourself.
Among those purple beanie-bearers seen roaming
around, Carol Newton, ’57, Jim Dougherty, ’57, and
Irwin Scher, ’57, were recognized as (rah) Milne
alumni.
Sally Simmons, ’54, is house manager of Delta
Gamma sorority at Cornell university this year.
A-2c Kenneth Jarrett, Jr, and Mrs. Jarrett (the
former Sue Powell), both of whom attended Milne,
are the parents of a baby daughter born September 9.
The Jarretts are living in Point Arena, Californie.
El Blessing, ’55, completed nine weeks of recruit
training at the U.S. Naval training center, Bainbridge,
Maryland, this summer.
Mary McNamara, ’54, and Dick Nathan, °53, were
married during the summer.
Bill Hoff, Rosie Becker, Jiggs Englander, Carol New-
ton, Arleen Susser, Andy Stokes, and Carolyn Stein,
all of the class of ’57, have attended recent senior
parties.
Ann Oetjen, ’54, was married to Bruce Dilig last
summer. —by Abby

HIGHLIGHTS
By DAVE
The Junior student council is
sponsoring a party for the seventh
grade tonight. The dance will be a
sports clothes affair and will be held
in Page hall gym from 7:30 to 10:00
p.m, Janice Lenda will be hostess,
Refreshments
will be in charge of Janice Lenda,
decorations in charge of Al Marko-
witz, and Steve Rice will handle
entertainment. Dave Blabey has
made arrangements for posters, and
Bob Huff will head the clean-up
committee.
Last year, the Junior student
council planned and carried out a
highly’ successful clean-up _cam-
paign, because students did not take
proper care to dispose of papers and
other refuse when eating lunch on
present
Page hall’s steps. The
council feels that if this cam)
not continued, the school will
become cluttered with rubbi:
this reason, the council has voted to
continue the campaign. It would
like everyone’s cooperation and re-
minds all that a clean school makes
for a better reputation.
Remember to support your Stu-
dent Council through your home-
room representative!

dous success. M.G.A.A. took in

was the heroine of the campaign,
bringing in over $100 worth of sub-
scriptions, Good work, Candy! An
eighth grade homeroom, 321,
brought in more money than any
other homeroom, and the junior

Campaign Benefits All Students
‘This campaign is really a heaven-
sent project for M.G.A. It has
enabled the organization to provide
special gym suits for girls attending
playdays, and t> enlarge the annual

quet. M.G.A.A. hopes, in addition,
to be able to help Milne girls to
pay for their gym suits in the future.
A fact that concerns every Milne
student is that M.G.A.A. has been
able to reduce greatly its annual
budget request due to its increased
income.

the more fun can be had, so let's

Songleading Tryouts Monday
This year, the M.G.A.A council
voted to open songleading tryouts
to all senior high gir Preliminary
screening of applicants was last
Monday, and one, two or three
songleaders will be chosen next
Monday in the music room.
What, No Soccer?
There has been a movement in
school to name the playing field in
front of Page Hall “Grand Central
Station.” Not only is it the site of
volleyball and football games, but
it is the meeting place of the Dog-
walkers’ Club and serves as the
“bush leagues” for small boys who
wish to grow up to be big volley-
ball players.
Juniors, Seniors Watch Series
There is one thing that must be
said for Milne—nothing’s too new
to try. During the World Series,
the juniors and seniors were allowed
to watch games on a T.V. set in
the Little gym instead of having
regular gym classes—a prime ex-
ample of progressive education.

Milnites Play
Summer Ball
Milne school was well repre-
sented in organized baseball of the
area this summer. A total of
twenty-six boys participated _ in
Little League, Babe Ruth League
and American Legion baseball.
Twelve seventh graders were Little
Leaguers, and nine eighth and ninth
graders played in Babe Ruth
Leagues.
Juniors See Action
Four juniors played on the Fort
Orange Post Club of the American
Legion. Wes Jacobs, Richie Lock-
wood, Bud Mehan and Howie Wil-
dove’ represented Milne on the
team.
All saw considerable action.
Richie and Howie were battery
mates for part of the season, and
Jacobs and Mehan were the starting
second and third sackers, respec-
tively. Wes, although hampered by
a broken finger for the first half
of play, was among the leaders of
the team in batting.
Sophomore Helps Form New Team
Charlie Averill helped to form a
Menands addition to the American
Legion teams. The team will join
the league next year. |
Braves Cop Series
A new era in major league base-*
ball began October 10, 1957, when
Fred Haney’s Milwaukee Braves de-
feated the mighty New York
Yankees, 5-0, and the reign of New
York City baseball teams came to
an ermd. For the first time since
1948, the World Series winner is a
non-New York club.
Yanks Take Series Lead
The Yankees took the opener, 3-1,
but the Braves evened the Score
with a 4-2 win behind Burdette.
The scene then switched from
New York to Milwaukee, where the
home club dropped the third game
by a 12-3 tally. Larsen decisioned
Buhl.

Coach Grogan called the Milne
Boys Athletic Association together

October 3 in the Little gym. The
purpose of the meeting was to elect
new officers and to discuss the
coming M.B.A.A. movie.
‘fom Sternfeld New President
The M.B.A.A. homeroom repre-
sentatives elected Tommy Sternfeld
to preside over their meetings.
Brud Snyder was elected vi
president, Bob Blabey, secretary,
and Dick Collins, treasurer.
Following the elections, the sut
ject of the annual M.B.A.A. movie
was discussed. Committees for se-
lecting the movie, which is to be
October 25, and for ticket promotion
were set up.
Movie Proceeds Buy Sweaters
A donation of fifty cents will be
collected from each movie-goer.
After the expenses of the movie are
paid, the money remaining will be
used to purchase sweater awards

credits in athletics.

The fifth game was the best

great catch saved the game for the
Braves, who took a 3-2 series lead.
In the sixth game, played in New

About fifty boys will raze down

basketball practice. Because there
is such a small quantity of hope-
fuls from which to choose, the
teams, especially varsity, are fairly

Club to Open Season November 26
By the time this season’s opener
rolls around November 23, the squad
will be in top physical’ condition,
The boys will have worked together
as a team for three weeks and will
know how to play as a unit on the
court.
This year’s club should shape up
as a very fine one. Loaded with
varsity experience, the team may
call on seven lettermen from last
season's 4-10 club. With last year's
game experience behind it, the team
should play a much better brand of
ball, and we're sure the results will
be favorable.
An important part of winning
high school basketball is the abil-
ity to play under pressure. Some
Milne teams of the past “folded” in
the clutch, but it must be remem-
ber that even the pros occasionally
tighten up under pressure.
If the '57-'58 club plays up to its
ability, we can expect a banner year
for Raider basketball.
Albany Academy Rugged Foe
Albany Academy cadets, last
season's Capital District league
champions, will once again be a
tough nut to crack. However, with

Hi, kids! Nice to see all your
bright, smiling faces again and for
all you new people—glad to have
you with us,
Everything seems to be about
the same this year, but something
was definitely missing at our open-
ing assembly. No one told us that
“Milne is a friendly school.” This
fact must always be kept in mind
especially by you seventh grader:
When you ask directions to the
main office and find yourself
planted in the middle of the boys’
locker room, remind yourself that
the direction giver was not being
malicious, just friendly.
I imagine that by now everyone
has gotten his bearings and_ has
settled down to the old grind, Cheer
up! Always look to the future, and
the future does hold many week-
ends.

The conversation that _ follows
sounds as if it were lifted word for

then “I give up, what?” This
the general effect of dampening |¥¢
spirits and ruining the evening for
all.
Of course, there are really mil-
lions of things to do, ‘There are al-

There are a number of drawbacks
to attending this many-splendored
theatre, however. If you really
want to see the movie, you will find
it impossible. The person in front
of you is constantly getting up to
get popcorn, have a cigarette, or
just to walk around. If you are

Klara Schmidt |
Tours Spain
Klara Schmidt, a junior, returned
to Milne this fall after almost two
years in Spain and southern Europe.
Klara’s trip began in early 1956
when her father was sent to Spain
by the Air Force, Klara and her
father, mother and two sisters flew
to Madrid from New Jersey. Her
impressions of the city on the cold,
rainy January day when she ar-
ri were that it was “big and
Klara recalls the difficulty
she and her family had in ordering
their first Spanish meals, because
they could not yet speak Spanish
fluently. The Schmidts stayed at
Madrid’s Hotel Plaza, Spain’s tallest
building, that night.
Schmidis Make Home in Zaragoza
The next day, the Schmidts flew
to Zaragoza, which located in
northeastern Spain and is the capi-
tal of Aragon. They were only the
third American family to move to
the new Air Force site, and Klara
says the Spanish “thought we were
so odd,”
Klara describes the city and its
surroundings as being “plain” with
no trees, “like a deser' While
they were in Zaragoza, Klara and
her family lived in a hotel for two
months, then rented a hous lara
describes the house as being typi-
cally Spanish. It was made of
stone, had tile floors and no elec-
tricity or central heating. During
the summer in Zaragoza, the tem-
perature reached 100 degrees Fah-
renheit, and in the winter it
dropped to —7 degrees Fahrenheit,

lara tells of the many changes
Spanish social customs which

recently, for example, most
Spanish girls were required to be
inside at 10 p.m. and were not al-
lowed to be alone with a boy until
they were eighteen.
Klara reports that most of the
Spanish people are either very poor
or very rich, Much of their in-
come is spent for clothes, which
they make or have made because of
the high price of ready-made cloth-
ing. Klara says that most thing
in Spain are more expensive than
they are in the United States, with
the exception of fruits and other
foods.
