h Milford High School opened its doors to twenty-eight bewildered, excited freshmen on September 9, 1946. We were all proud to be here and anxious for our studies and the ac- tivities of the coming year to begin. We attended most of the basketball games, dances, and parties. We especially enjoyed the round and square dance which was our only class activity for the year. After a pleasant summer vacation we came back as sopho- .mores with three of our classmates missing. Jack Emery had moved to Hawley where he graduates this year, Edward Gross and Gerald Ryder decided they preferred a paycheck to studies. We were very anxious to graduate with a good-sized treasury so we put forth a great amount of effort on this year's acthh ities. We sold Christmas cards, sponsored a St. patrickaa Day dance, and had a wonderful time on our trip to Bertrand's Island. We owe our success for our first two years to Miss Denver's wise leadership. Most of us earned some spending money during the summer and when another vacation rolled to a close we came back full of ambition because this was the year. Room 20 was our new homeroom and Miss Hankins became our sponsor. Our class rings were a big thrill--something we had looked forward to for many months. We welcomed a new member, Kenneth Ruehl, who became active in sports. During the year Evelyn Emery left to be married, and Patricia Rosencrance, transferred to Hawley where she too will graduate this June. had the basketball concessions, and we sold We had two other activities this year--a chairmaned by Ada Greening and a Junior Prom planning of Anita, Viola, and Eileen.

On the morning of July 10, 1960, while waiting for Station I was surprised to see one of my old classmates none other than Dorothy Rocksandlch looking very chic When I commented on her appearance, she told me she had roplyeng my train at Grand Central coming toward me. It was in a navy blue ensemble. designed it herself. She now operates an exclusive dress shop on Fifth Avenue. After Dotty had told me all about her new business, we began recalling the days we spent in Milford High. Caroline Schields is now the head manager of Dotty's dress shop and doing a very efficient job with the secretarial work. Caroline always was a good commercial student. I asked Dotty told me she had met waiting for a plane and Viola Kern have if she had seen any of our other classmates lately and she Anita Walker at La Guardia Airport a few days ago. Anita was to Paris, where she intends to open another art school. She already opened several schools which Viola supervises. The last time Dotty had been in Milford, she had stopped at a delicatessen store to make a purchase and was surprised to meet Harriet Hencken who told Dotty that she now owns a chain of such stores from Milford to Scranton. Harriet also told her that she specializes in Quinns' Homogenized Milk which she buys from John and James Quinn, owners of the largest dairy in Eastern Pennsylvania. We always knew they were very ambitious boys. I then told Dotty that Shirley is now secretary to the president of a prom- inent New York law firm. She and I recently attended a theatre on Broadway where we were delighted to see Eileen Haubert, who is the leading actress in the latest hit of the season. After the play, we visited E1leen's dressing room to congrat- ulate her. She had three tickets to the baseball game for the next day and asked us to go with her. Allen Greening, who is now playing with the New York Yankees, had given them to her. Since Allen has been with the Yankees they have won all the World Series games. Eileen told us about Ada Greening who operates the De Luxe Beauty Shoppe in Milford. Her clientele is so large that she now has five operators working for her. Eileen also said that Harold Cron is now president of a large automobile manufacturing company in New York. Just as I left Dorothy, I was surprised to recognize another of my class- mates in Frances MacGregor who was going Frances told me she is still living in D1ngman's and often sees Joan Ryder who is happily married and lives in Bushkill. Barbara Stephens must believe in fresh the bustling crowd about to board the train. It was none other than on a trip to Canada with her husband and her son. air for her children because Frances said whenever she passes through Matamoras, she sees Barbara and her four children out walking. Charles Capone is a most outstanding public accountant and Frances told me that Marjorie Hess is his private sec- retary. Charles also operates a riding academy of which Thomas Coleman is the efficient manager. We had now reached the station where I changed trains. As I sat by myself thinking over the news I had heard about my classmates, I realized we certainly had a genuinely successful class. And I know we owe everything to our never-to- be-forgotten teachers in Milford High School and also to our greatest friend and instructor, Principal Markley. 16
