Sixty-Six in This Year’s 7th Grade

Six Members Added To Milne Faculty for 1942-----------------------------------------------------------h

Teachers Come From 4 Corners of CountryAlarm Systems

Will Not Change“The general procedure for Fire

and Air Raid Alarm drill is the same as last year except for the few provisions for the new faculty,” stated Paul C. Bulger, assistant principal.

The new students are asked to note the procedure for Fire and Air Raid drills as posted on the main bulletin board.

Attention is drawn to the seating order in the Page Hall Auditorium. The seventh and tenth grades are to occupy the left side while the eighth and eleventh years occupy the right side of the auditorium. The fresh­men and seniors have the center portion reserved for them.

During good weather the students will use the doors assigned to en­tering and leaving. This will help relieve crowded conditions and will acquaint everyone with proper pro­cedure for leaving the auditorium in emergency.

The general supervision in case of raid or fire is placed in the hands of Dr. R. W. Frederick, prin­cipal, and Mr. Bulger.

It is urged that everyone both in faculty and student body acquaint himself with the proper exits.

Every Student Involved in War Effort/’ Says Bates in Message

By Betty Baskin

From the four corners of our country, six supervisors have travel­ed to join the Milne faculty this year.

Mr. Harry B. Grogan, Milne’s new Physical Education Director, is a graduate of Cortland Teachers’ College, Cortland, New York. His first coaching position was at Kin- derhook High School for a year and a half. He then taught at Tully Central High School, New York. When asked how long Mr. Grogan will coach at Milne, he answered, “I’ll be here permanently, I hope.” The coach is married and has a nine- month old baby.New Milne Librarian

From Minnesota, comes Miss Mabel Jackman, the new librarian of Milne. Miss Jackman was grad­uated from the University of Min­nesota and received her B. S. degree. She then went to the University of Chicago and received her M. A. degree. In the last five years Miss Jackman taught at the University High School at Min­nesota, and in the summer she taught at the library division at the University of Minnesota.

Student Council Elects New Officers For 1942

The Milne Senior Student Council held its first meeting of the year last Wednesday moiming. Richard Bates, President of the Council, re­leased the following list of officers and members.

Edward Bookstein, of home room 130, was elected Vice-President of th’e Council. Marjorie Wright, of room 23, was elected Secretary, and Benjamin Van Acker, of the Art Room, was elected Treasurer. Bookstein and Van Acker were candidates for the Council Pres­idency last year. Jean Chauncey, the fourth candidate in last year’s campaign, has moved away from Albany.New Traffic Squad

The members of the Traffic Squad for this year are: George Edick,Captain; Harold Game, Harry Culp, Ted DeMoss, Bill Soper, Nick Mitchell, Harvey Holmes, Jack Cas- ner, and Charles Cross, Seniors; Leonard Jones ’44, Alan Mendel ’45, David Packard ’45, Thaddeus Terry ’45.Sale of Bonds

“The sale of Defense Bonds and Savings Stamps will be resumed next week,” stated Richard Bates, who was in charge of the drive last year. The sale of the Bonds and Stamps will be handled in the same way as last year, treasurer taking care of his own home room. “Each home room should elect its treasurer by next Tuesday at the latest,” said Bates, “so that the start of the drive will not be delayed. We hope each student and home room in Milne will cooperate.”

Milne Starts Banking System for Students

Milne has inaugurated a new banking system which will handle the student association’s budget, and other financial affairs.

The bank will be under the di­rection of Dr. Edward L. Cooper, supervisor of Commerce. Com­merce students will work in it.

The bank will be located at the west end of the second floor hall, and will be operated'from 8:30 to 9:00 and from 3:30 to 4:15 every day. Melissa Engle, a Commerce student, is now in charge of it. Any one who is interested in the work should see Dr. Cooper.

The organizations which share the money will go to the bank during the banking hours, and make out their checks to the association.

The first business of the year for the bank will be the collection of student tax fees. Students should pay their money tq the bank, in­stead of to the office as in previous years, suggests Dr Cooper.

Miss Clancy Lists New Students In Upper GradesComing from schools all over the

Capital District, sixty-six seventh graders formed the Milne class of ’49, as they entered school Tues­day, September 22. They consist of 32 girls and 34 boys.

There are also a great many students that have been admitted to the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. In the 8th grade is Jane Simmons from school 16.

Those new ninth graders are Helen Dethloff, school 19, Jeanne Hernon, Miss Quinns School, Evelyn Miller, school 23, Philip Stoddard, University of Iowa High School, Frank Hall, Roesselville, Williarq Week, Albany Academy, Sarge Siniapkin, School 16.

In the sophomore class is Joan McConnell, while new juniors in­clude Ann Stickney, St. Agnes, Pat Gatier, Albany High, Angela Snare, Chatham, Kitten Wheeler, St. Agnes, Luba Goldburg, Albany High, Joanna Scott, Bethlehem Cen­tral, Robert Bauer, Menands, Paul Distelhurst, Burlington, Vermont.

The twelfth grade transfers are Geraldine Carlock from New Ro­chelle, and Cuyler Thayer, Albany Academy. There are just two people taking the Post Graduate Course. They are Joan Connors from Holy Names and Robert Rinn who attended Milne last year.

The Milne School starts the year, 1942-1943, with each individual student, new or old, big or small, ready to do his or her part in the total war effort. Everyone of us, through the course of the year, will have the opportunity to “show his stuff” in the fight against the three dictators.

Sponsors Victory CouncilOne of the many things your

Student Council will attempt to do this year will be to sponsor a Vic­tory Council,- made up of one stu­dent representative from each high school in the city. It is our hope that these representatives will meet to familiarize themselves with the many war time problems facing all of us.

In this school, we will start where we left off last year, in the voluntary purchase of war bonds and stamps. This surely is the least we can do considering the number of Milne boys who have volunteered to risk their lives so

RICHARD BATES

that we may continue our school program of work and play. Most of us are too young for actual service. But we all can wholeheart- ly support every drive which might aid our country.

With complete confidence in our abilities to do these things I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very full and suc­cessful year.

Graduate of StateMr. William A. Fullagar, the new

Science supervisor, working with Dr. Carleton Moose, was graduated from the New York State College For Teachers. He also received his A. B. and M. A. from that college. Follo'wing his degrees, he taught for two years at Schaghticoke High School at Schaghticoke, New York. Then for the next two years, he taught at Hudson Falls High School. Before entering Milne, he was Science teacher at Bethlehem Cen­tral High School. Mr. Fullagar, parent of two young children, will remain at Milne permanently.Texan at Milne

Miss Marion O’Brian, supervisor of art and speech, was a graduate of Texas State college. She received her M. A. degree at Columbia Uni­versity. Miss 0’Brieq.’s first teaching position was at Miami, Texas high school. For another two years she taught at Lyons, Texas. Among her versatile professions are in­terior decorating and engineering draftsman for the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Here We Go Again!Hello again! Just as everybody had to relin­

quish his summer vacation fun and get back to the old grind of getting up early in the morn­ing, studying in the evening, going to bed early at night, and dating only on weekends, so must the Crimson and White get back to its old routine. It’s really no easy job to give up study periods to work on the paper, stay late at school until night, collect news, type copy, plan pages, and make numerous trips to the printer—but it is fun.

milne merry-go-roundMilne students have returned to their old groove

and school affairs are buzzing right along. Nobody, however, has forgotten his summer days. For instance, Ruth Ketler still fondly dreams of the “whopper” she caught on Lake Ontario. A 2V2 lb. 17 inch long bass . . . good fishing, “Ket.” . . . Alan Gould’s summer achievement was climbing Mount Prospect on Lake George. It’s two miles high and it’s quite a climb to hear Alan talk. . . . The camps were well populated with Milne members. A few “campers” in school were Bob Blum, Ruth Weil, Margie Bookstein and Barbara Schamberger. Post cards kept drifting into Albany from senior boys who seem to have gotten around on their week-ends. During the week they worked(?). Travelers by thumb were Dick Bates, Ted De Moss, Harvey, Holmes, Billy, Soper and Nicky Mitchell. Sandy Bookstein went on a Canoe trip. His big dis­appointment was that he missed Jinx Falkenberg. She took the same trip two days later.

Cliff McCulloch traveled all over the West during his vacation . . . Nevada, New Mexico, California, Mexico. . . . After hearing the tales he tells, all the fellows want to go West

Nancy Eddison made a return visit to New Hamp­shire this week-end; must like the “scenery” up there. . . . Last Friday night the season started with a gather­ing at Harvey Holmes’ Farm. Couples that went are Hilda Shilling, Bill Soper, Lucia Swift, Ted De Moss, Ruth Taylor, Nick Mitchell, Joan Connors, Dick Bates, Sue Rhoades, Chuck Cross, Ruth Welsh, Harvey Holmes, Janice O’Connell, Tom Dyer, Frances Morah, Chuck Hopkins, Jane Curtis and Cuyler. Thayer. They sat around a big fire, roasted corn and fried steaks. Tommy Dyer, being an individualist, enjoyed clams all by himself. Seeing Lou Gehrig at the Palace Satur­day night were Frances Morah, Bob Beckett, Jean Dorsey, Cuyler Thayer, Janice O’Connell and Tommy Dyer. They went to O’Connors later to dry their tears.

At Union the same night were Natalie Mann and Marie Edwards. Not showing any partiality Nat went to an R. P. I. dance the night before. Others at R. P. I. were Norma Silverstein, Shirley Atkin and Arline Palatsky Others seen out over the week-end were Jeanette Price, Chuck Terry, Meg Hunting, Royal Hyde, and Laurel Ulrich keeping up the morale of Marty Edwards. . . . There’s a rumor going around that a junior girl’s engaged. It’s a mystery who the girl is or who the lucky fellow is. . . . The first dances of the year are coming up soon. The senior high dances will be October 24th, and the junior high dance is a week from this Saturday. Ask your girls quickly fel­lows, so you won’t be stranded without a date.

Social CalendarAs everything else, the Crimson and White

must start from scratch again. A new staff must be trained, new schedules must be learned, and the will and ability to become a first class news­paper is needed.

This year the staff of the paper hopes to have a very successful year. By this we mean that all school news will be completely covered and interestingly written. All grades will be repre­sented in the paper and as many names as pos­sible will be printed. Last year a great deal of comment arose because only a few people were mentioned in the columns.

Good newspaper technique will be strictly adhered to. It is the goal of every school news­paper to win a medalist rating at the Columbia Press Conference in New York City. The Milne School wants to be known as having a medalist paper and this year’s staff will try to get it for you!

Morale BoosterGuess what! The seventh grade

has something here, in the person of one Jesse Barnet. The class of ’48 has given to Milne a poet. Here’s a sample of Jesse’s work:

DECEMBER 7th By Jesse Barnet

December 7th was just a day Of non importance we would say, Until it came in ’41 And now is remembered by every­

one.

This happened on a Sunday morn­ing.

It happened without a single warning.

We heard the news as it came through

Pearl Harbor bombed, what could we do?

Americans one, Americans all, Answered at once to Victory’s call. The Japs and Mister Kurusu Now will find out what we can do.

And so at last the war it came, And many heroes rose to fame.And we’re out to win this war And even up an unsettled score.

We are out to defend our Liberty And preserve democracy So now we see this day of days Has changed our lives in many

ways.

Borrowed HumorThe Crimson and White is ex­

changing papers with schools threughout the United States. This column will print some of the humorous and interesting things written in these papers. There will be exchanges of other schools hang­ing on the bulletin board of the Crimson and White room.

Plere’s a punny poem printed on a Springfield, Massachusetts paper: Jack took his aunt out riding,

Though icy was the breeze,He put her in the rumble seat

To see his anti freeze.Ei. note—Isn’t that chilling? Quip: “Who was that lady I saw

you outwit last night?”—Lasalle Collegian

Robert Burns wrote, “To A Field Mouse.”

Ex-Milnite MarriesThe marriage of Phyllis Com­

stock, a former member of the Class of ’43 to Private Patrick Choppy, took place this summer. The couple were married in Loudonville, New York, August 1. Constance Cormer was maid of honor and Chuck Cummings was best man.

The bride wore a street length white dress and carried one dozen white roses.

Private Choppy is stationed at Camp Pickett, Virginia. Phyllis is now working for the state.

Grogan Outlines Sport Outlook for 1942 SeasonGood BasUetball Items of InterestSeason Expected

In an interview Monday with Coach Harry J. Grogan, he expressed highest hopes for the Milne basket­ball team this year. In Mr. Gro­gan’s words, “We have plenty of good material to work from and I think we will have a swell season.”Intra-Mural Leagues

The coach also spoke of the gen­eral sports program, and gave his outline for two intra-mural leagues for both football and basketball; one will consist of 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, while the other will include the three senior high grades. The program will also include wrestling, tumbling, and calisthenics. Mr. Grogan thinks our team is superior to Kinderhook’s team which he coached last year. He also says we compare favorably with Tully High School, where he formerly coached. Schedule Tentative

The schedule is as yet quite tentative, but it is definite we will play Boys’ Academy, Bethlehem Central, East Greenbush, and Philip Schuyler. He is hoping to be able to arrange games with both Chris­tian Brothers Academy and Vincen­tian Institute. With the difficulty of transportation, we will play very few long distance games, but we hope that we will have one long trip to Syracuse; if this goes through it will be the farthest our team has been from the home court. Graduated From Cortland

Coach Grogan graduated from Cortland, New York and has held positions at both Kinderhook, and Tully high schools. He is married and has a baby boy 9 months old. Perhaps in 1953 we will have a Grogan Jr., as captain of our team. Coach Grogan is interested in out­door activities such as fishing, hunt­ing, and camping.

When asked how he liked Milne, he (of course) said he thought he was going to like it a great deal.

So here’s luck to you Coach Gro­gan for your stay at Milne. We’ll make no bones about saying we expect great things.

from the University of Washington. He received his degree at Columbia University. He first taught in June, Alaska and was Principal of Ele­mentary Schools there. Then he taught in Seattle, Washington.

Mr. Willfred Allard, the French suppervisor, has returned to Milne after v/orking at Cornell University for his Ph. D. degree. A graduate from New York State College for Teachers, Mr. Allard went to Mc­Gill University in Montreal and received his MA degree. He has no other plans than teaching at Milne for the present.

By Tom McCrackenSaturday afternoon at Bleeker

Stadium, Albany High School will play Johnstown High in football. Since all good fans will be going, it is hoped that the game will be good and close. Last week’s game was a plain walkover for the “Gar­net and Grey’s”. Schuyler’s sup­posedly invincable team was pushed back for loss after loss.Bowling Season On

The Bowling season has begun again and the leagues are at it again. Schade’s still has the best of alleys, the Paladium the prettiest, with Rice’s (our favorite) sitting right in the middle but with the advantage of being nearby.

We don’t know whether we should classify the “Lindy” under sports, but if you are interested, stop over at Eddie’s any afternoon, and watch the Bugs jitter.World Series

It seems that most of the C. and W. staff are for the underdog. At least one member of the Editorial Board expressed a favoritism for the Yanks. He was soundly jumped on. The whole crew of us stood around listening to that ninth in­ning when the Cards made four runs with two outs.

This covers the sports “Info” up to date, so I’ll be seeing ya’.

New PicsOne of the newest technicolor

pictures to hit the country is the musical comedy “Springtime in the Rockies” starring Betty Grable and John Payne. They are ably sup­ported by Caesar Romaro, Carmen Miranda, Charlotte Greenwood, and Edward Everett Horton.

Harry James, his orchestra and Helen Forrest doing the vocals, John Payne and Betty Grable start things off on Broadway as a successful team in a musical show. Both of our young friends are very happy, but not for long. John goes around with too many other girls, and Betty leaves him for her former dancing partner, Caesar Romaro.

They travel to a very beautiful lake in Canada, called Lake Louise. Here they become part of a resort show along with Harry James and Band.

Back in little old New York, Payne doesn’t do well at all. With­out Grable, producers say he is a flop. John, anxious to regain the lost Betty, travels to Lake Louise with Carmen Miranda, posing as his private secretary. Carmen treats everyone to a bit of her distinctive dancing.

Then Payne attempts to win back Betty Grable. This part is typical of most movie plots and so you can probably guess the end. It is good entertainment and should be enjoyed by all who like music and Betty Grable.

From Alias M. Hanre Guber

Dear Ed’s:How’s everything at school? I

really like the Navy, even though you have to put up with an awful lot. Fellows who have been here a week longer than you, even give you orders. The food was terrible the first few days, but now it’s im­proved a great deal. My first meal here was breakfast, I had good old Navy beans. They really break you in early.

Now I know how Hawk Holmes feels. The old bugle blows at 5:30, and you get up or else. We started drilling today and they really make you walk.Johnny’s Seen the Town

I’ve been to two movies since I’ve been here and I will go again tomorrow to see “Someday I’ll Find You.” Here’s a tip to the fellows if any are thinking of joining. Be­fore you leave for camp go out with all the girls you can. I’ve yet to see one that I could get near enough to see what’s “cookin’ ”.

I’m in what is called quarantine for three weeks while I’m getting my shots or injections. Then after three weeks I can go into Newport or Liberty. Don’t ever ask a sailor what he’s going to do because all you need do is use your imagination. I’m supposed to be here eight weeks but the training period has been cut in half. I plan to be home by the 20th of October. I hope!!

I took an exam to get to a school. Don’t die but I’m signed up for cook and baker.Hopes to Please Faculty

I hope if this letter is printed, it meets Miss Conklin’s approval. Please send me all the CRIMSON AND WHITES and if any of you landlubbers get time in French or Math class, drop me a line. When mail comes in I chew my finger nails to the bone hoping I get a letter. I start on my toe nails to­morrow. By the way I’m sleeping in a beautiful hammock in a room with 300 fellows or “bubs”, and you should hear the snoring. It’s so harmonious.

First of ’43 to LeaveJohnny Brown was the first mem­

ber of the class of ’43 to leave Milne and join up, but he was closely followed by Dick Lawyer, who was sworn in this past Tuesday. A story on Dick will appear in a later issue.

Other alumni who were called to the colors include John Dyer and Martin Edwards of the class of ’41; Newell Cross, Harmon Patten, Ed­ward Starkweather, Gilbert Dancy, Walter Sein, Richard Aupperle, Darien Akullian, Richard Paland, John Gulnac, Jack Skinner, Edward Walker, Edgar Miller, Jack Beagle, Richard Andrews, Edgar Harding, Richard Selkirk, Gordon Robinson, and Erastus Davis.

This list includes all boys dating back to the class of 1939.

Margie Wright'sThe girls’ athletic program in

Milne is just like a large book. Let’s take Volume 1942-1943 off the shelf, dust it, and see what it has to say.

To begin with it is difficult to get some of the equipment, such as hockey balls and sticks, on account of the war. Later on in the season we will be using other equipment which will be scarce, so let’s see if we can’t look after it and help preserve it.

On account of transportation, there will not be a horseback riding class this year. Everybody has to help out to preserve rubber, so this is one way in which the Milne girls can help.Mermaids Swim

For those mermaids of Milne, swimming and life saving classes will be conducted by Miss Hitch­cock at the Y. M. C.A. again this year.

A new club is being introduced to the Milne girls this year. What is it? It hasn’t been officially named yet, but it is a Women’s Voluntary course. A standard Red Cross First Aid Course will be covered and then it will go into voluntary services. This is open to only juniors and seniors.

The seniors have three hours of gym a week this year. This gives them plenty of time for practice, so they should come out with flying banners.

The Hockey Varsity is scheduled for practices on Fridays. Intra­mural games will be played off during the week at 3:30 p. m. A schedule will be posted of the games.Mothers Exercise

Mothers of Milne girls and boys will be able to get some of their exercise again right here in school. Miss Hitchcock is conducting a gym for their benefit which will be held on Mondays at 2:30. Registration for this class can be sent in by the Milne students. A standard First Aid Course will be open to the Mothers this year. Registrations for this will be conducted on Thursdays October 8th, at 10:00 a. m.

After asking Miss Hitchcock about the coming year she said-, “On account of the war, every young girl should be conscious of her health. The program of physi­cal education for the Milne School as well as for other schools in the country will be designed to produce a condition of physical fitness for high school girls.”

Girls To Study War WorkThe Milne School girls are in­

stituting a new club this year, designed to assist the war effort, under the sponsorship of Miss Hitchcock. It is opened to girls in the junior and senior classes. It has been named the “Defense Service Club,” and will involve two or three hours weekly.

The club will meet every Wed­nesday at three-thirty and will begin with a Red Cross first aid course. A course in Staff Assist­ance may follow. This involves office work at the Red Cross Chap­ter house and also canteen work for those girls who wish to do defense work.

Milne Receives Additional Mural

A new mural, by David C. Lith- gow, was recently added to Milne’s collection on the library walls. This is the tenth in a series depicting Albany’s historical events.

Mr. Lithgow chose as his sub­ject the arrival of the first Erie canal boat, “Seneca Chief,” at Albany, in 1825. This was the first linking of the Hudson River with the Great Lakes and was a great step toward linking the east with the west. In order to bring the canal trade to its dock, Albany built a huge basin which could hold more than 1,000 canal boats. The mural shows DeWitt Clinton, Stephen Van Rensselaer and other canal pioneers aboard the gaily

# bedecked barge with the lock, which was just east of the old Van Rens­selaer manor house, in the back­ground.

The purchasing of one mural a year by each graduating class has become a tradition of Milne. In a few more years the series will be completed, making thirteen murals in all.

Junior High Students Establish Club Council

The Junior School has formed a Club Council, which will govern and manage clubs under the di­rection of Mr. Paul Bulger, Assistant Principal, and the campus-teacher sponsors.

At the next homeroom meetings, a representative will be elected from each room to the council. The coun­cil will then elect a president, who will become a member of the student council.

Each club will be granted a char­ter from the council when they have followed certain rules. Every mem­ber will receive a membership card if he follows the club rules. The clubs will also elect a president, who is entitled to go to any of the councils meetings, and a publicity director, who will keep the CRIM­SON AND WHITE informed of the club’s activities.

Open LetterTo the principal and To the

students:“MEET PEOPLE” is now prepar­

ing its 1943 STUDENTS’ DIREC­TORY, which is to include the names of hundreds of students all over the United States, Canada, and the rest of English-speaking America, as well as a number of students already contacted in other countries. This directory will be distributed throughout the free English-speak­ing world, to give students a chance to correspond with others in other countries.

All students who wish to be listed in this directory are asked to send their name, address, age, and a short description of their inter­ests, hobbies, etc., to:

“MEET PEOPLE”P. O. BOX 174,

TORONTO, CANADA.(Making a single list of all the

interested students will eliminate the bother individual mailing.)

All names must reach “MEET PEOPLE” by October 31st, 1942, in order to appear in the directory.

Yours very truly, “MEET PEOPLE”

Robert Endleman, President.NOTE: This directory is a “MEETPEOPLE” service offered ONLY to secondray schools, and no fee is charged to have students’ names listed in it.

First To Pay Student Tax

The early bird gets the worm! The early student tax payer wins recognition! Frank Coburn was the first student to pay his six dollars, and Mr. Edward L. Cooper says that he wishes many more would follow this example.

Among payees with significantly numbered tickets are: Inez War-shaw, No. 5; Pat Peterson, No. 10; George Ferris, No. 15; Harvey Dwight, No. 25; Robert Goewy, No. 50; Marilyn Arnold, No. 75; and Lawrence Hicks, No. 100.

Other early tax payers are Melba Levine, Roy French, Jack Under­wood, Doris Spector, Frank Hall, Kenny Gallien, and Arden Flint.

Hannay Leaves Milne; Joins State Staff

Miss Naomi Hannay, Milne’s as­sistant librarian, left to take a posi­tion as librarian at State College for Teachers on Thursday, October 1st. She will do only library work at the college which she feels will be more interesting than the study hall supervision she has been doing here at Milne.

As a graduate of Milne and of State College, class of 1937, she is continuing her 14th year of service about these buildings. Miss Han­nay said, “Even while at State, I have always had a deep feeling for Milne and its students, being a grad­uate myself, and having two sisters graduates.

Miss Hannay is taking the place of Mrs. George Lutz, one of the State College Librarians, who is moving to Long Island. Miss Han- nay’s position will be filled by a new faculty member as assistant librarian to Miss Mabel Jackman.

In departing Miss Hannay states, “I am not very far away and will be glad to help out the Milne students in any way.”

Berlin Correspondent To Address Students

In an effort to bring the students of Milne to a better understanding of the war, Mr. Pierre J. Huss, Berlin war correspondent, who has just returned from Europe, will re­late his experiences in Europe, on Tuesday, October 6, at 2:30 in the Page Hall Auditorium.

For the last ten years, Mr. Huss has been head of the International News Service in Berlin, as well as chief of the I.N.S. Central Euro­pean office. He is acknowledged as one of the best informed nev/spaper men on German and Central Europe on affairs.

Mr. Huss has recently written a book entitled “The Foe We Face,” and it will soon be listed among the best sellers.

Last Monday, September 28, the famed writer was a guest on the Vox Pop program. Many students have listened and all will be anxious for his visit to Milne.

George Edick, president of the class of ’43 for the past two years, yielded his gavel to Charles Cross, who was elected president at a meet­ing last Monday, September 28th.

Other candidates who ran for class president were Harvey Holmes, Ted DeMoss, Bill Soper, and Vilma Tubbs.

The rest of the senior officers are as follows: Harvey Holmes,vice-president, Dorothy Rider, sec­retary, and Ben Van Acker, treas­urer.

The seniors discussed the pos­sibility of continuing plans for a senior room. Mr. Cross appointed the following committee to investi­gate the problem: Melba Levine,Shirley Atkin, and Ted DeMoss.

School Loses 7 Faculty MembersBoycheff Now Staff Sergeant; .Eaton Volunteers Services

Seven members have relinquished their positions on the Milne facul­ty and have assumed various duties all over the country.

Sgt. Kooman Boycheff, former instructor in physical education, resigned during the spring of 1942. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps and is now a staff sergeant in the Department of Physical Training at the classification center, Nashville, Tennessee.Return to College

Dr. Margaret Betz and Mr. John Sturm, supervisors in chemistry have returned to the State College faculty to assume full time duties. Last year their time was divided oetween Milne and the College, but due to many new courses, they are now needed there.

Doing full time war work is Miss F. Thelma Eaton, former librarian of the Milne School. Miss Eaton thought her time could be put to better use in the war effort than sitting behind a library desk so she has returned to her home at Tarkio, Missouri where she is en­gaged in this work.Hartley Leaves

Dr. William Hartley, director of Audio-Visual Education, missed his classroom contacts, so he has re­turned to a teaching position in a college in Baltimore, Maryland.

Mrs. Robert Alloway, the former Ruth Suhrie, has established resi­dence in New York City. When Mrs. Alloway was on the Milne faculty she was an instructor in art. Marriage called Miss Suhrie away, but she still has art in her blood so she might be a part-time teacher.

Teaching French in Mamaroneck High ' School is Miss Marjorie Wheaton, former supervisor in French. The school is in West­chester County, Long Island.
