The year 1950 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Milby. One-quarter of a century ago the princi- pal, faculty, and students marched from old Har- risburg High School to the new Charles H. Milby High School and began work as a unit of the Houston Independent School District. We, the Buffalo staff, in presenting to you this Silver Anniversary Annual, have endeavored to record not only the most interesting events of our present school year, but have endeavored to include a few reminders of the past and a glimpse into the future. By including scenes from our great building and expansion program now in progress, we hope to point you to a future that promises a far greater Milby than was perhaps even dreamed of when the memorable march was made from Har- risburg to our present location. Harrisburg, parent school, we thank you; and Milby, Greater Milby, we salute you!

Out ‘Piittcifrai Sfee z The poet has said, Time makes ancient good uncouth, but such is not the case with Charles H. Milby High School. In 1925-1926, one quarter of a century ago, this educational institution took its place along with other senior high schools of Texas, then few in number. Since that time three major additions have been made in the building program, which brings it up to date with the new $670,000 construction now under way to completion. The school is located in one of the nation's strategic places, the center of a great and growing metropolitan area. It has set and maintained a high standard in the cultural development of those who have come under its influence. Over the years has come a wonderful tradition built by the school and by its student bodies. The faculty, the courses of study, the library facilities, the student activity program, the scholastic and athletic competition with other schools, the guidance program, the special emphasis on the industrial, vocational, and commercial department training - all are established on a scale broad and general enough to challenge individual interests as well as to encourage further educational pursuits. It is the hope of all that these experiences, established on a fair and democratic participation of student body and faculty, will result in turning out citizens of the future who have a love for the way of life that has made this nation of ours great. Milby now stands before the roseate dawn of a rapidly approaching future. We know that in the years ahead she will continue to take her place with those of noted achieve- ments and write high her name in the halls of fame. ONWARD MILBY!
