The year 1931 started with a membership of 59, which included the entire school faculty. A pre-Christmas membership drive resulted in a total of 100 members on january 1. The Fifth Grade won the prize offered to the grade securing the most new members. NVe have added to our funds as follows: First Committee .................................................................. 345.00 Schuster-Martin play, Aladdin's Magic Lamp , plus candy sold by Camphre Girls ............................ 26.75 Home Talent Play, Nothing But the Truth , plus candy sold by Campfire Girls ........................................ 135.00 In addition to these activities our funds were increased by contributions from the leading fraternal organizations to our free milk, making it possible to carry on this very worthy work throughout the entire school period. From November l to March ll at a total of 4,641 half pint bottles of milk were served. Of these 1,433 were paid for by parents able to do so, making Z1 total of 3,208 bottles of free milk served to underweight children. In the beginning, 75 children a day were served. After re-weighing in January, the number was reduced to 55. Z0 having gained sufficiently to be dropped from the list. The total milk bill will run over S200 this year. It has been our custom for several years to award a picture to the grade having the highest average attendance and the least tardiness. In addition, an annual prize of S25 is awarded to the best English scholar at Graduation. --Mrs. Louella Leaf 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQQQ age en A .C7 I JI ' ll mmefwmm THE DROFLIM QQQEQQQQQE SENIGR CLASS OFFICERS Shirley Hill ,,,,,Y,,,., ,,,,,,,,A4,A,,,,,,,,.., --A.----A-A p I -esident Eugene Ansteatt ,A,, ,AA,A,,,,,,,,-,,A-,,A V ice president ChBl'l6S ROUd6bUSl1 ..

Even though the surroundings were new to us and we were green in regard to the customs of the upper-classmen, we were wise to choose Mr. XVard as our sponsor, who with the aid of Raymond Case, presidentg Margaret Fitzsimmons, vice presidentg Albcrtine Dennison, secretaryg and Helen Achor, treasurer, safely guided us through the first and most trying year of our high school life. The next fall we began a new course as Sophomores. VVe immediately chose for our advisory body, Mr. Harper, sponsor: Florence Laudeman, presidentg james Stagg, vice presidentg Margaret Howell, secretary: and Helen Achor, treasurer. XYith Mr. Harper's assistance we presented Pro- fessor Pepp , one of the school's most successful plays. Our active junior year was directed by Miss Butler, sponsorg Albertine Dennison, president: Chester Preston, vice presidentg Shirley Hill, secre- tary, and Katherine Kernohan, treasurer. The Freshman initiation, the play. Engaged by Wednesdayn, and a modernistic junior-Senior banquet, were added to our list of achievements. XYe are now completing school life with these efficient officers: Mr. MacDonald, sponsorg Shirley Hill, presidentg Eugene Ansteatt, vice presi- dent. and Charles Roudebush, secretary and treasurer. As our last pleasant school days are approaching an end, we are all happy. but have that sad feeling that comes when high school days are ending. Qur four years here have not been in vain. and even when separated from classmates, among our fondest memcrfcs will be the days spent at Old Milford High. -Freda Conley owaoeoeowe 1 9 3 2 QMQQQQQQQQ THE DROFLIM QQQQQQQQEQ JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET On Monday evening, May 26, 1931, the annual banquet given the Seniors by the juniors was held in the high school assembly hall. This room was transformed to the modern-day version of modernistic designs. Rose-colored lights, shining through a drop ceiling studded with golden stars. gave a soft and picturesque effect to the beauty of the scene. The tables were in a triangular arrangement in the center of which was a maypole. whose rose and gold streamers were attached to the inside edges of the tables. The effect of the color scheme was enhanced by vases of budding roses. Music for the occasion was furnished by the orchestra. Albertine Dennison, president of the Junior class, delivered the speech of welcome. James Stagg was toastmaster. Toasts were given by Shirley Hill, Mary Mundhenk, Hayward Gateh, Ruth Milligan, Eugene Ansteatt, XYiliam Roudebush, and various members of the faculty. A delicious dinner was served by eight sophomore girls. MENU Fruit Cocktail Baked Ham Creamed Peas and Carrots Candied Sweet Potatoes Imperial Salad Hot Rolls, Butter.

The faulty judgment and the will To wait and work for victory still. And so with life! If all were plaing If men perfection could attain, If neither douht nor loss nor fear Should ever test our courage here: If we knew all, and all could sec, Then deadly dull this life would be. -Edgar A.

And the school niastcr's gone far away, He's gone to his land of restg O, where are the girls and boys, NYho joined in the laugh and the jest? Don't your heart beat wildly and strange, When you think of the frolic and the fun? When you didn't care a fig what anybody said, Always expecting one. Say! Don't you remember our swing. The swing in the beechen shadeg And don't you remember our teeter on the log, VVhere often at see-saw we played? The old log has mouldered to the dust. And the swing fell down years agog And the long dreary winter of time, Is whitening our locks with its snow. Our playmates are scattered, some are gone, And we'll see their bright faces no more: And the merry laugh is hushed forever. That we heard by the school room door. -Selected by Irma Griswold 1 9 3 2 GQQQQQQQGQQE ll 6 we ' 7' QQQQQQQQQQ THE DROFLIM QQEQQQQQQQQ SOPHOMORE I-IISTURY XVell, sir, it was 11igh two years ago, I reckon, when I started in studyin' here at Milford High. And gee, it sure was a grind. Everybody seemed to have a grudge agin' us, and the juniors, they didn't seem to like us at all. XYhich all goes to show how wrong a person can be. NVell, we got through somehow, and everything was scootin' along pretty well, when all of a sudden something popped. Those teachers-well, they gave us what they called examinations. Never could see why they say gave them, for they forced them upon us like nobody's business. Anyhow, most of us lived through them, only to be given some more in May. After that they let us go for awhile. Last September we were lookin' in the paper, and saw a place where it tells when school's going to begin. Well, we all came back, and sure enough, school started. NVQ were Sophomores, of course. People treated us pretty nice, and we got pretty fair grades on our report cards-but then we had those examinations again. Well, there's not much more to say, except that wefve had a real good time here so far, and hope to in the future.

Art is long, and Time is Heeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muiifled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Trust no future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act-act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o'erhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. ......-an Let us, then. be up and doing.

Our flying was not good for a few days, because of the lack of experienced pilots, but after the electing of our class sponsor, Miss Butler, and our class orf.cers, 'lean Ashton, president, Audrey Aiken, vice president, Hope Drews, secretary, and Ruth Bush, treasurer, we had smooth soaring for awhile. Since the officers were all girls, the boys were quite mortified, but after several days the gloomy looks disappeared. Several planes went into tail- spins for F's at the end of the semester. VVe felt that we were really part of the other flying squads when we were officially initiated by the juniors. The girls were to braid their hair wear an apron and put on their dresses backwards, and put on mis-mated stockings. The boys were to wear overalls and hair ribbons. First on the program came a big parade down Main street. We were given broom sticks for horses and were led by a rope. Many exciting incidents happened and all were fed soap candy. Then came the refreshments of cold cider, dough- nuts, popcorn balls and candy. During the rest period from flying, basketball teams were organized, playing other Hying squads. The girls started out poorly but soon made it up by having a winning streak. The boys played well but did not seem quite as experienced as the others. Four from the Freshman class gained the Varsity squad, and were we proud? This spring-like winter has been exceptionally conducive to flying, and we will soon be ready to leave our planes at M. H. S. for the summer months, during which time there will be a general overhauling of our motors in preparation for the continuation of our flying squad in September. -Audrey Aiken 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQQQ age wen y-ezg 'fav wg- ,midi 1. was-A 5 E. ,Vi I 9 Y M. -......N.. ......-..., lllllllkl'-1 Ill ITIIY v-E I MIX XJ ' wi fr F' A I 41 'fY I1'mm 1 ' if f V if I I., Q ,s , r If f m G' EW xfgff':y:ff mm-.M vw :MW fwff-M -MW gg III we-sw M? f,l7f T',gA'5Q,ff,2',Zf,f,1'i egg? we f P555 fi: 3335 S53 M 'fi gi - W - isis? 23559 gif .

The various departments are therefore represented by articles written by the pupils themselves, instead of by the teachers as previously. The space devoted to these departments has been considerably enlarged. The Annual staff is to be congratulated upon the willing and helpful cooperation it has shown, and we would like especially to express our grati- tude to Mr. MacDonald, without whose aid and advice the present Droflim would have been an impossibility.

There was no mention of organizing a Hi-Letter staif during the entire first semester. just a few weeks before VVashington's birthday, however, a stat? was organized from a group selected by the faculty. By rapid work the first edition of the paper was out before the 22nd of February. A prominent man once remarked that what this country needed was a good five cent cigar. NVe have tried to follow the unwritten motto, VVhat this school needs is a good five cent Hi-Letter. The staff takes pride in thinking that it has lived up to that motto. -The Editor Editor-in-Chief ........ ........... X Valter McDowell Assistant Editor .................. ........

Mr. Coy, started a soccer team this year as an experiment. The experiment was highly successful, and next year Milford High is likely to bc represented by a fine team. The team was composed of Stagg, Hopping. Hartsock, johnson, Ferree, Donley, Stroup and Roudebush, who advanced the ball into the enemy's terri- tory, and Taylor, Hodges, Grossnickle. Gregg. Vtfesche and Anderson, who tried to keep the enemy from scoring. The team will lose Stagg. Roude- bush, Stroup and Taylor. Two games were played, both with the strong Goshen team, which has been playing for several years. One ended in victory. and the other in defeat for the Milfordites, the score being two to one in each case. ' -Eugene Ansteatt INTRAMURAL One of the greatest centers of interest of the student body at Milford this year has been intramural athletics. Due to the interest manifested, it seems certain that it has fulfilled every requirement anyone could desire. Obviously someone is responsible for this, and we feel that all the credit is due Mr. Coy for his line work toward this cause. As for the boys, everything seemed to be Sophomoreg the Sophomores won the soccer championship, and. in a battle ending with a score of 13 to l, defeated the Freshmen for the basketball title. They were also victors in volleyball. The girls' basketball championship was won by the Freshman girls. after a fine battle with the junior-Senior team, although they were seldom greatly threatened. Mr. Harper holds the unique honor of having won the volleyball title unassisted. ' -Eugene Ansteatt . QQQQQQESQQECQG THE DROFLIM QQQQEQQQQQQ 19 BOYSWBASKETBALL 32 1-i-1 This year's team seems to have upheld the tradition of Milford, in that it was slow in getting started, but after a few games showed that it really could play basketball. This is strikingly shown by the fact it won only one of the first eight games played but in the second semester won three of the six games played. It seemed to bc the mystery team of the county, con- tinually upsetting thc dope by defeating strong teams by a one point margin. In the tournament held at Amelia, it had the misfortune to draw the runners up, Felicity, and thus was eliminated the first game. Milford also boasted a fine second team, which won two of the three games it played. Much credit isfdue Mr. Coy. because it was mainly as a result of his coaching that the Eagles climbed from a losing to a winning team. The team, composed mostly of Seniors and Sophomores, should also be com- mended. The team will lose, by graduation this year. james Stagg, Charles Roudebush and Wilbur Stroup.

Perhaps it was because in our minds we do not couple a snaky creature with beautyg or perhaps because it was not the sort of picture commonly seen and the novelty of it roused in our minds a superstition of the supernatural. Another peculiar thing, which made this pictureinoticeable. was that the head of the reptile was blurred, as though it had been finished hurriedlyg but the rest of the picture was of exquisite workmanship. The thing which had called my attention especially to that work was the visits made by a well dressed man to the section of the museum in which that painting hung. This man came so often that his presence became noticeable, and with the welfare of the museum in mind, the guides were told to watch him. It became my duty to do that and learn the cause of his visits. Upon his arrival the stranger would walk directly to this picture and for perhaps as long as a quarter of an hour would just stand there staring at it-almost like a person in a trance. Then suddenly, as though awakening from a dream, he would become conscious again of where he was, and turn and leave the building. Curiosity is a relentless master, and once he has a person in his power. he will torment and aggravate him until he does his wishes. I struggled with it for a long timef but finally I was overcomeg so I stood before the picture just as I had seen the stranger do. I hadn't been there long when a strange feeling came over me. It seemed as though I were standing there in the jungle itself, and the scene on the picture was a reality. I could smell the hot. humid air, and I could hear unfamiliar sounds. I could see insects and tiny, unknown beings crawling, Hying, and hopping about me. Then my eyes went to the reptile, they followed the slithering, curved body until they reached its head, then they looked harder, harder, harder! There was something behind the blur I could not see. Suddenly something obstructed my view. My eyes left the picture and saw a hand, which clutched a stiletto! Some one was trying to slash the picture! Automatically my own hand grabbed the arm just as the blade touched the canvas. I twisted the wrist until the dagger fell to the Hoorg then I turned to see who the assailant was. I was not surprised to find it to be the stranger: but he was hardly recognizable. I had never before seen a man so transfigured. His hat was offg his hair tossed about his head, in his eyes was an indescribable lookg his whole person was changed. He seemed like an animal infuriated and tortured. I dropped his arm-frightened. The man before me must surely be mad! I-Ie focused his gaze upon me and gasped. 'Don't! Don't look at that demon, don't! Look what it did to me'. QGEQQQQQQEQQQQ 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQRQ 6 01' - 716 QQXQQQQEQQQ THE DROFLIM QQQQKQQQQQQE Then he told me the story of the painting. Told me that he was an artist, and of going alone to the jungle to paint a masterpiece, planning to devote his whole life, if necessary, to complete it. There was an idea in his mind about what he would take for a subject. He believed that being down there alone, living in new surroundings, he would discover something hne on which to work. Living with a tribe of natives, a lone white man in that mass of blacks. there was little to remind him of the civilized world left behind, except his own few personal belongings. Every day he would venture from the settlement, searching for an inspiration. Finally he found it: it could almost be said he stumbled upon it. On one of his frequent walks, he barely escaped stepping on a huge reptile coiled in his path. The beauty of its graceful lines forced him to decide immediately that that would be his model. He went to work at onceg putting in the background first. fearing any moment the snake would steal away. leaving him only a mental picture from which to work. You can imagine his surprise to Find, when he returned to the same place the following day. the snake in the same position and coiled just as it had been before. And stranger still, it remained that way until the artist left at sundown. Each day when he returned to his work, the snake would be posed-waiting. The artist believed that the snake sensed that it was needed for the picture. It was on the last day that the disaster happened. The picture was nearly completedg in fact it was finished except for the head of the reptile, which was the most important part. In order to make it perfect, he drew nearer to the reptile, a thing which he had never done before. As he turned back to his canvas, to begin anew his work, he felt a sharp, stinging sensa- tion just above his wrist. Then he realized that the creature had waited patiently, slyly for this chanceg for him to move nearer so that it could strike. Had the snake been the one to move nearer. the man would have been warned. but by waiting for the artist to move first it had achieved its purpose. Believing death near at hand. the artist. although his arm was crippled and almost useless, managed to finish the head. The work had to be done rapidly and. because of the numbness of his arm. which prevented him from making clear, straight strokes. the head was blurred. The numbness seemed to be spreading over his body, so he clumsily attempted to gather his tools together. Unable to control his hands. he left everything but the picture, and managing to hold it someway, he staggered up the path that led to the village. Even in that condition he was happy. for although he had probably lost his life, he had one of the finest pictures ever painted. Then his legs refused to work properly. He stumbled and fell face downward. Before his 1 9 3 2 Q-QQQQQQQEQQQQ age or y- w QQQQQQQQQQ THE DROFI-IM QQQQQQQQQQ eyes appeared the sly, crafty eyes of the snake. They gleamcd at him tri- umphantly. Then they were gone. Everything was gone: only blackness surrounded him. He seemed to be falling down, down, down. Then he became hot, dreadfully hot. Once, when a boy, he had been hot like that. He had had a fever then, and his mother had covered him with blankets. He had kicked them olif. He kicked now. Kicked harder, harderg but only became hotter. He heard a dry, cracked voice screaming. How weak it sounded. Then he felt cool-almost chill. He opened his eyes, something covered them. Then it was taken away. He was looking into other eyesg kind, sympathetic eyes. Everything was blurred, then it cleared. The other eyes belonged to the witch doctor, who was bending over him. He was in a native hut. The witch doctor began to speak. 'You have been ill, my son, very ill. Your body has been burned with the agony of fever and has been frigid with the cold of chills. But through it all, life has remained with you. It is wonderful and yet very bad. You were stung by one of the most dreaded of all snakes. Death will come to you slowly, painfully over a period of many years. Nothing can stop it: not even the great white witch men. You have been charmed by the demon, too. There will always come over you the urge to see it, to look and look at it. You cannot hght against it. No man ever has. All your life you will be a slave to it. Serve it, but try to protect other men from your fate.' Old Jerry stopped. That, he concluded, is the story of 'The Ophidian Seored'. But I protested, you ean't end the story like that. XVhy, you left it hanging in mid-air. VV'hat became of the artist? l'He was found dead about two months after this happened. They could never determine what had caused his death. I was astounded at his failure to help solve the mystery of the death. I burst out, VVhy didn't you tell them what you knew about the snake and the bite which. of course, had caused his death ? Old Jerry was silent for a few moments, then he answered, amusingly. They wouldn't have believed me. I can hardly believe it myself at times. But I can't forget that strange feeling that came over me when I stood before the picture. I've never tried it again. Although I don't believe that part about the snake charming people. I've never experimented with it. I leave things like that alone . QQQQQQEQQGQQ 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQ5 THE DROFLIM QQQQQQQQQQ In my mind I had another questiong it was about the title of the picture, l asked Qld jerry, VVhat did the title mean? I admit the word, 'Ophidianf has me puzzled. Old jerry laughed, You're not acquainted with your dictionary very well, I am afraid. 'Ophidianl is taken from the old Greek word, meaning snake. You see, although the man had become famous because of that masterpiece, the snake was really the victor, for it had taken the remainder of his life. So you see the Ophidian had truly scored over the man . This story has been known hy only three persons for many years-the artist, Old jerry, and myself. The other two have died. and I am now the only one left. I do not vouch for the truth of it. I am only telling you what I have heard. True, I have seen the picture, but like Old Jerry, I did not care to experiment with it. The painting still hangs in the gallery. It is unimposing, but if a keen eye would search the surface of the canvas a slight cut in the cloth could Le seen: that is where the stiletto punctured it. If a person cares to gaze at it for any length of time, no one wifl stop him-v hut I would not guarantee the results. -Lucy jane Patterson Q E. efw 5 A -oo-' U -o I 1 9 3 2 CQQQGEQQQQQQQQ QQQQEQQQQQQ THE DROFLIM QQQQQQQQQQ WHO COULD CONCEIVE Who could cenceive Of a star, Or a sun, Or the twinkling vault Of space overhead, A crescent of silver, Floating serene, Bathed in mist o'er a world Sleeping and still- Of God Of His love, His birth and His life, His Presence still guarding The earth and her sons.

Mr. VVordsworth was born in Cocker- mouth. Cumberland, April 7, 1770. He can easily be compared to the youth of today. He was athletic in all respects, for he loved rowing and swim- ming, skating, and mountain climbing, but above all he loved nature. Even though he was a person who enjoyed all sorts of sports, he was evidently a lover of meditation. He would often find some quiet place. where Nature displayed herself in all her beauty and harmony. and for hours would be alone in this perfect solitude, with only the singing birds, the babbling brooks, or the playful squirrels to break the solemn stillness of the picturesque moments. Wordsworth's love for nature and its beauty. is elearly evident in all his poetry. lrlowever, it seems that he was just a little different from most of our nature writers. He would see some scene, some incident, or some peculiar happening that impressed him immensely, but probably he would wait for months or years before even thinking of writing on the subject. Incidentally, VVilliam Yvordsworth was born and spent most of his life among nature-loving people. All of the surroundings and most of his environment seemed more beautiful than any other place in the world. The streams, the lakes, the rolling hills, and the beautiful pines, all had their influence on his life as a poet. He has been most correctly called The High Priest of Nature . After NYordsworth had spent four years at Cambridge, he traveled in order that he might see more and more of God's wonderful world. ln 1791. accompanied by his friend, Beaupuy, he went to France. where the whole country was in a furor over the Revolution. Here they were confronted with many things which truly made their hearts ache. They saw and they understood! The ancient civilization was being brought to destruction: the beauty of all the ancient palaces and castles was gone: and the people were poverty-stricken and hungry. Because VVordsworth was called home, he and his friend were not permitted to spend as much time here as they would have liked. but the impression left on their minds furnished subject matter for many future writings. In 1798, after he had met Nr. Coleridge. they, together. published the great Lyrical Ballads , to which there was a second edition in 1300. ln 1802, he met Mary Hutchinson. whom he later married. ln l343. he was made Poet Laureate, by Queen Victoria. He has said that poetry is the QQQQQQQQQQQQ 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQQQ Page forty-seven QQZSQQQQQQQ THE DROFLIM QQQQQQQGQQ product of emotion recollected in tranquillity , and the spontaneous over- How of powerful feelingsw. He retained the laureateship until his death in 1850. VVhen death called Williaiii Wordsworth, it called one of our greatest and most interesting nature writers and nature lovers. -Shirley Hill AN IDEAL Sailing oyer a silver sea, Sailing down a path of gold.

' y-mtv QQQQQQQQQQ THE DROFLIM QQQCEQQQGQG AMERICAN HISTORY The main reasons why American History is interesting to me are: Through the medium of History, one can be transported to the days when the Pilgrims landed in Americag he can hear the dying Montcalm exclaim, il am glad I shall not live to see the fall of Quebecn, and XYolfe's, Thank God! Now I can die in peace 3 he may see Washingtimii and his men sulfer- ing at Yalley Forge for want of food and clothing, but finally rising tri- umphant over the superior troops of the Britishg he may be present when Lee bade his troops an affectionate farewell, and join the shouts and tears with which they responded: or he may see, hy the unnatural light of the flares which were sent up continually at night, the bodies of the dead and wounded lying on the groundg he may see the flash of the big guns, and hear the roar of cannon, the whizzing of bullets--all of which constitute the XYorld Wzir. In my opinion these dramas far surpass those produced on stage and screen or in novels today. It presents a wrong idea of partiotism in its true light. Ofttimes you may have heard people say, Stand by your country, right or wrong. Of course this is a false idea of patriotism. Respect for your sense of right and wrong is always more important than respect for your country. American llistory texts fthat is. good onesj, point out the mistakes as well as the achievements of the country. Before we can associate with well educated people, it is necessary that we, too, he well educated, and to be well educated. we must have a good knowledge of our country's history. History is used in almost every profes- sion. The poet, musician, author, artist, sculptor, etc.. all use historical data in their compositions. The politician, federal office holder, the lawyer, and many others all need a good historical baclfground. American History is made more interesting by comparing events which we are studying with events happening today. It is quite entertaining to draw parallels between a former president and the one now in the executive mansion, or compare the present presidential campaign to an earlier one. It is not every History class which has a Sino-jananese war made right before its eyes-which is valuable not only for its military side, but also for the diplomatic relations which it entails. -Frances Stuart 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQKQQ age 1. - w EQQQBQGJQQQQ THE DROFLIM GQZEQQQQQQQ MEDIEVAL AND NIQDERN HISTORY As a student of the Modern History class it has become my duty to write upon the subject of why I like Modern History. I like Modern History first, because it is made up of facts transformed into a story. That is, it affords very interesting reading, and at the same time supplies us with many important facts. Second, it acquaints us with the early inhabitants of the world as we follow them through their social, moral, economic, and political development. Third, it is a course in which we study both current and ancient history, and in comparing the two we hnd that though the world was in its early stages, with few of the advantages of today, the character and works of the people then were very similar to those of the people living now. Fourthly, we begin to realize, as we turn leaf after leaf in the book, the many things for which we are indebted to the Orient. XYe also begin to understand the origin and development of our govermnent. Fifth, in studying modern Europe in cross section, with constant refer- ence to the relations of various countries with one another, we bring new proof to bear on Shakespeare's famous lines, All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. And sixth, History has a twofold purpose, in that it develops our ability to think, and at the same time teaches us of the growth of our institutions. -Beatrice Scott GENERAL SCIENCE I like General Science because it is interesting, because it enables me to learn new facts, and to verify old ones, because it gives me a scientific atti- tude toward everyday happeningsg because it affords a firm foundation for further learning. QQQQQQEQQQQQQ 1 9 3 2 ag 1, y- ree QQQGYISQQQQG THE DROFI-IM QQQQQQQEEQQ General Science is interesting: in fact, there is no subject holding greater interest for the average pupil than Science. Not only class work, but also the laboratory periods, devoted entirely to experiments, to prove or disapprove, certain theories, are interesting. I, as well as other members of the class, like especially the notebook work, which includes a record of all experiments performed. General Science enables me to learn new facts, and to verify old ones. Science helps to ride down the ridiculous beliefs of superstitious people. New facts are learned also, for instance, I have learned many things about astronomy, chemistry, botany, and biology that I had no idea were true. My case is identical with others in my class. General Science gives me a scientific attitude toward everyday hap- penings. Many things that are likely to cause me trouble happen every clay, but with scientific training I know better the way to treat each one. Cer- tain scientilic attitudes are very important in every-day life, for they carry a deeper meaning than that related to science. They a1'e the fundamental principles upon which our existence depends. General Science affords a firm foundation for future learning. VVe all hope to know more about science than we know now. General Science teaches certain basic facts that are indispensable in the higher branches of learning. To major in any science course at college, a boy or girl must have specific scientific opinions, which he in part derives from a course in Gen- eral Science. There is no greater field open to advance learning than that of science: any science student may discover for himself facts hitherto unknown, and it is in this that General Science students lind one of their greatest incentives. -Charles F. I-Iartsock INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial Arts, a study that teaches both hands and mind, is an ideal study for the American boy. To get a good result from the course, one should make useful projects about the home. This home training enables one to derive the greatest value from a piece of work, and also teaches one to know that no piece is good enough unless you know it is your best. The QQQQGQIEQQQQQ 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQQQ Page fifty-four ZEGEQGEQQQQQQ THE DROFLIM QQQQYQQQQQQ home work will teach you to be careful. because an error at first will be evident when the project is Finished. It teaches one to see in a broad-minded way the work, a rough path, that is before him, and to train himself for the future. But lndustrial Arts alone cannot give the boy all the experience that is necessary. Outside help is required, and one of the best ways of help is through the boy's father. Uur work will give us a contact with many of the following skilled trades, cabinet making, leathercraft. mechanical drawing, wood turning, home mechanics, wood finishing, upholstering. carpentry. and lettering. Before starting a project it is a good idea to discuss it with the instructor. The choice of projects is limited only by the ability of the boy. l'upils of high ability and reliable character are given free range of choice. To get the best results, a cool head and strict attention are necessary. ln Mechanical Drawing, a branch of Industrial Arts, pupils are taught to read or make such drawings as working and isometric. This enables them to make projects, and leave drawings of them for the pupils who are to follow, thus giving them an acquaintance with the problems and opportuni- ties of drafting. In the course of lXlechanical Drawing, the student is given an adequate opportunity to get acquainted with the methods of making home repairs, and also a foundation for the professions of architecture, landscaping, and con- tracting. A boy can get a good idea from this study what the professions are like. Success awaits the student who carries on with his work. -l-l. T.. Benken THE woRK SHOP QQQQQQEQQQQQQ 1 9 3 2 QQNEQQEQGQQQQQQ Page fifty-five QGBQQEQQQQQB THE DROFI-IM QQQQQQQQQQ SI-IURTHAND Shorthand is a compendious and rapid method of writing by substi- tuting characters, abbreviations or symbols for letters, words, etc. This definition ot bnorthand sounds deep, and makes the study of this subject seem about as uninteresting to the average person as a steam engine. Shorthand is not merely the rapid transcribing of uneventful words on paper with the persistent speed and determination of a pile-driverg to me it is a fascinating, interesting subject. Imagine having the power to transcribe words, as fast as they are spoken, on paper, and with as beautiful characters, composed of curves and strokes, as are the sounds of the softest and sweetest of languages. Shorthand isn't a new, twentieth century subject, as many suppose. Forms of rapid writing have been in use since the earliest of times. The orations of Cicero were taken down in a Grecian form of shorthand by his slave-secretary. However, the forms of shorthand that we have today origi- nated in the sixteenth century in England, and not until the early part ot the nineteenth century was shorthand based on sound. Today, a person can write words, phrases, and whole sentences in a very small space. NVhen one is writing and thinking in shorthand, there is no time for superfluous details and unnecessary commentaries. The main issue of the subject 'at hand must be comprehended and transferred to paper before the second important issue appears. The attempt to gather in everything in one fell swoop Qunless one is a court stenographer, under the requirement of writ- ing new material at about two hundred words a minutej, may be likened to the man in Franklin's axiom, who, rising late, tries all day to catch up with his work, and never does so. Briefly, if one is to make constructive use of shorthand, it is expedient to be always prepared, and to be able to discrimi- nate between the utility of certain facts and the uselessness of others. XVhen one has finally acquired this habit of elimination, it is unconsciously applied to every other line of endeavor. So much for the selecting of essentials that Shorthand promotes. It is practicable in a surface sense as well. It greatly improves the beauty and facility of penmanship in longhandg it offers an easy avenue for the syste- matic collection and retention of desirable information: it is almost indis- pensable to the college student in any branch of learningg it has been proven 1 9 3 2 QQQQQQQQQQQQ 1 Q-QQQQQQQQQ THE DROFI-IM QQQQQQZEQQQ an absolute necessity in business. Thus, we might continue endlessly, enlarg- ing upon its applicability to study, and its adaptibility to any field of accomplishment. -Frieda Rabe Katherine Owen TYPING Typing is one of the most important phases of commercial work. lt develops in the student speed and accuracy, which are necessary in the business world. It makes one independent. Not only in business work is Typing important, but also in everyday life, and especially in high schools and colleges. The typewriter was, at first, a very crude machine, and the process of using it was slow and difficult. Improvement has followed improvement, however, and noiseless machines have been introduced, which are a great benefit. In modern business, typing is becoming more and more important every day, and the person who can skillfully operate a typewriter has a future ahead of him in the business world. But to be a successful typist, one must practice constantly. Therefore the student, who desires to attain the greatest proficiency, must devote himself to training his fingers to act with precision and to respond instantly. Accuracy is of primary importance, and should receive constant attention, a typist who is not accurate is of no commercial value whatever. There are more positions open today for the typist than for the aspirant in almost any other phase of work. Therefore, when you finish your com- mercial course you can be almost certain of securing a position. Once n position is secured, the ladder to success may be climbed by application and efficiency. -Marjorie White Katherine Kernohan Bookkeeping and Commercial Arithmetic The true value of Bookkeeping was never so well realized as it is today. Anyone entering the business world finds the knowledge of bookkeeping a worth-while companion. VVhat business man does not want to know the QGEQQQQQQQEQQ 1 9 3 2 CQGQQEQQQQQQ THE DROFI-IM QQGQGQQQQQ standing of his business? VVho can better tell him than his bookkeeper? liven for personal use the ability to keep books will be a valuable asset. The use of the budget, the income tax, and the management of a small business, all demand at least a simple knowledge of bookkeeping. ln the high school course of Bookkeeping there are developed in the student habits of regularity, promptness, accuracy, neatness, and many other elements essential to a complete, well-rounded education. The bookkeeping student of today is the business man of tomorrow. Aritlnnetic is used in almost every walk of life. XYithout an accurate knowledge ol' it, a bridge or building could not be built, a radio program could not be broadcast, a dinner could not be cooked. In business the use of arithmetic is so frequent that machines have been invented to further speed and accuracy in calculating. Then some ask, VVhy should one bother to study arithmetic, if there are machines to calculate for us The answer is simple. Arithmetic supplies valuable training that can be obtained from few other sources: it develops the power to think clearly, promotes accuracy, makes neatness habitual, and trains one in concentration and perseverance. Speed and accuracy are the fundamentals of success in our business world. Business Arithmetic helps us to master these necessities. This study does not extend over merely one phase of the business work, but teaches the principles of interest, discount, depreciation, insurance, percentage, etc. Business Arithmetic establishes a basic idea of business in the mind of the boy or girl who desires to enter the business world. -Lucy jane Patterson Frieda Rabe H.

No one can expect to fully comprehend the meaning of his other courses of study if he hasn't a fair knowledge of English, including grammatical construction, the art of public speaking, vocabulary, and the interpretation of literature. VVe employ English in our lives as we do no other study. From the very earliest age of lisping childhood, through our entire life, long after our knowledge of Chemistry and History has become shadowy and chimericalg long after we have left school and gone out into the world, until the time comes when we join that innumerable caravan moving in the mysterious realm , we make use of this knowledge. Correct grammatical construction enters our conversation over dinner tables, at school. at church, and in every phase of our everyday lives. Through the study of public speaking we attain an ability to speak pre- cisely, correctly, and distinctly. We become self-assured: our self-conscious- ness drops from us. and we gain for ourselves a power that is surpassed by none other. XYe increase our vocabulary, we cease to use dull, undescriptive words and, all unaware of our progress, learn to speak in vivid, deep and lively phrases. Each new word added to our vocabulary is a brick which strengthens the power and eloquence of our speech. Even if construction work or the art of speaking holds no interest for the student of English, who would fail to respond to the enjoyment and contentment of delving into the lives of the famous authors and tracing through the ages the progress of literature through its vicissitudes and ramifications down to our modern times? The study of literature is romance in the making . The student becomes personally acquainted with authors who lived hundreds of years ago. Their hardships, misfortunes, joys, and trials are made known, and as the personal incidents of their lives and the conditions under which they wrote are made clear, the recipient of this knowledge has an urge to know better the innermost thoughts of the men of, letters through their recorded interpretations of life. The study of literature creates in the student a greater desire to increase his store of knowledge through the reading of good books. -Ethel Kelsey QQQQQQQQQQQQ 1 9 3 2 QGEQQQQQQQQE THE DROFLIM QGEQQQQQGCSQ FOREIGN LANGUAGES The following report for this department is a selection and combination of the best material submitted by the Latin students. The Foreign Language department this year consists of first, second, and fourth year Latin. The first year class numbers twenty-two pupils. They have devoted their time to the technical part of the work, namely, vocabulary, forms, and syntax, which makes up the foundation of any language. This drill work has been relieved by collateral readings concerning the daily life and the mythology of the Romans. The seventeen pupils of the second year class have continued the gram- mar work of the first year. ln addition, they have made a detailed study of Roman history from the founding of Rome to the imperial system under Augustus, through both translation and library assignments. They have also made translations concerning Roman daily life and the deeds of illus- trious Roman heroes. The monthly Latin magazine, I-Iodierna Aula Latina , has been of great value in increasing vocabulary and in showing that Latin is quite adaptable to modern life. Due to the fact that we alternate third and fourth year work, both juniors and Seniors have the same subject. This year the class of four is studying Virgil's Aeneid. The charming story of the wanderings of the Trojan hero and the founding of Rome, as directed by the gods, makes us no longer wonder at the mighty power that came to rule the world for so many centuries and whose influence is still felt in the twentieth century. This course has necessitated a more thorough study of Roman mythology and its profound influence upon Roman history. It has required a more careful study of words and their varied meanings, thus creating a power of expression that only language study, and especially the Latin language, can give. The Latin classes have been very much worth while. The study has taught several people the power that lies in the will to stay with it. The department reports few failures. There's an inexplicable satisfaction in the accomplishment of a hard task.

Since the one thing in which we are most interested, while we are on this earth. is life. we should. learn more about it. Since we are only going to be living a very short time, we should find out the different ways which will help to prolong our visit here. As we already know, Biology is the study of life. l. therefore, suggest that every student who can findit possible should take up Biology as one of his studies. 1 i -Paul E. Riffle Music r Music is of course. a study, and as such involves a great deal of routine workg but primarily it is an art. Almost anybody can learn to play music: but learning to play music is of little value unless the student becomes an artist through and through-unless he becomes a musician in thought as well as in skill. No great musician is purely mechanical. - - Thus. to express one's innermost' self in sound must always be the, ultimate object of any course in true music. If the student loves music, if- he is already a musician in spirit, the mechanics of playing are easily learned. If he is not. it is the teacher's duty to help him realize the musical ideal: No teacher, no course of study, however fine, can hope to make a person into ri musician: the person must do that himself. and if the teacher can render assistance, no more is necessary. For music is a form of beauty, and beauty cannot be taught. -Eugene Ansteatt PHYSICAL EDUCATIGN Physical education is taught for the purpose of developing strong, healthy bodies that can endure life regardless of physical environment and later life.

In fact, the history of Algebra alone is an interesting study, the origin of the plus and minus signs, the parallel lines denoting equality, the letter system, all have their places in the history of Algebra. This history dates back at least 3,500 years, to the time when an Egyptian wrote a text- book, preserved to this day, relating to unknown numbers. However, little progress was made until 1540 A. D., when Algebra was first introduced into Europe through the Latin language, and with the help of the French states- man, Yiete. All of this leads up to the present-day system of solving equations. Algebra is not a difficult subject, but certain fundamentals must be learned if all future work is not to be in vain. The purpose of this subject is not to inject into one's head all sorts of formulas, letters, rules. and num- bers. but to make possible the solution of problems that would otherwise remain unsolved. Many problems which cannot be solved by arithmetic prove comparatively simple with Algebra. Few people can study the subject and not appreciate its value. Algebra is required in a high school course. mainly because of its practi- cal value. There is hardly any business in which mathematics is not usedg the sciences, banking, law, contracting, painting, all demand a knowledge of the leading divisions of mathematics, of which Algebra is a most important one. Another worthy point about Algebra is that no statement is accepted without convincing proof: and this is one of the predominant factors in any course in the subject. To sum up in a few words what we have been saying, Algebra is a study that is indispensable to a high school course. -Charles F.

Proceeding with this supposition, it might also be said that, similarly, the grade school is father of the high school. The subject of the value of early training has been too thoroughly exhausted for us to dwell upon it here. XVe all know that lessons of conduct. habits of study, and concentration, learned in the grades, work powerfully for good or evil in the life of the secondary pupil, and perhaps through maturity. The period from the first grade to the eighth is a series of stupendous progressive leaps in experience, knowledge, responsibility, and intellect. Certainly, it should be ranked at least equal in importance with the higher grades. I doubt if many of us would honestly care to live over our grade school years. This should not be the case, yet all too frequently it is. Educators are more and more beginning to recognize this inferiority com- plex of the grades, and to place emphasis on them as the foundation for all higher education. The above merits a great deal of consideration, but what follows more nearly concerns us as students, and those who will take our places. The high school should actively interest itself in the grades. I do not necessarily mean by this that they should eachdelegate representatives and hold inter- class conventions. Such a system would not redound to the better interest of either. But let the higher grades at all times support the work and projects of the lower. Let them not only meet in athletics, as they are doing, but be more closely knit together in other scholastic endeavors. The high school will never then have occasion to refer to the grades as being beneath its sphere or unworthy of its notice. ln like manner. the younger children will themselves surely profit by association with the high school in many fields of accomplishment. VVe, who are going forth from Milford High School, leave to the lower classes to follow us, to assimilate and apply their fruitful experiences to the best advantage of the grades. We also leave to you and to the faculty to devise better means than we could suggest. But in any event, you realize that a spirit of friendly cooperation is indisputably essentialg and I have, in my somewhat sweeping encounters with the grades and their teachers, found that they are more than willing to co-operate where they are offered the opportunity. -Katherine Owen 'EQQQQQQQQQQQ 1 9 3 2 QQQQEQQQQQ THE DROFLIM QQQQQQQQQQ ALUMNI Alumni, the Class of '32 greets you.
