Tomorrow night on the

Milnets Red Raiders will
meet Altany High School
in their second encounter
ot the season, In the
first game Milne suffered
a huge defeat from one of
the toughest teams the
Garnet and Gray has ever
produced, Milne, with
vevenge as a motive, and
the home court as a set-
ting, will undoubtedly
turn in a better account—
ing of itself than it did
in the away game,
At a mid-season glance
Milne!s average of vice
tories and defeats doesn't
slope up too well, 0
far it stands at three
victories and five losses,
This means that in order
to finish the schedule
with a fifty percent aver—
age the team will have to
win five out of the re-
Maining eight games, The
final score with Cathe-

-23 in Cathedral's

MILN2'S "MATH" MAI
We Milne students certainly rcalize,
or believe that we realive, the advan-
tages of going to an experimental school
and being guinea pigs. ‘Ye often compare
it to other schools and ‘hen finally
with great emphasis cry, "Thank goodn2ss
I go to Milnes." Never considering the
trials and tribulations of our student
teachers, we have takon State College for
granted,
Danial Snader, ovr Mathematics su
pervisor has spent about 10 years in the
field of mathcmatics, Fisst as Assis’
Professor of ®Math™ at Albright Col?
then as head of the "Math" departmen
a Pennsylvania High School. and at rc,
berg high school. He later was ac”
to the position of professor of Ma hena~
tics at Ohio State University, ir. Sae~
der was at Ohio State ‘U! for 2 years
(the last 2 years before coming to Milne).
While at Ohio State "U", Mr, Snader dia
a great deal of research in mathematics,
At Ohio State "Ul the student teach-
ers have many advantages that our State
College teachers do not have for their
teaching department is connected with the
public school system so that the would-be
teacher gots every problem of teaching
and a variety of grades to teach —~ from
Ist to senior high school,
A supervisor's life at Ohio State
University gave “r. Snader more time to
go into the research ond of "Math", for
he only had four classes to supervise,
At Milne, Mr, Snader has to supervise
about fifteen classes, This leaves lit~
tle time for research, only spare minutes
during the day and then many hours after
school, which should go to a bit of re-
creation, You can easily $20 that Mr,
Snader mist have spent many oxtra curric~
ular hours to compose the units for
Algebra, If Gilbert and Sullivan may be
used ina little different fashion—"A
supervisor's life is not an easy one."
