THE DROFLIMA SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago we crowded into M. H. S. assembly room, which had suddenly grown small, a group of forlorn, awe-stricken Freshmen. With beating hearts and confused countenances we were introduced to our teachers and to the mystery of making out schedules. For several weeks we had wrong books, wrong seats, wrong classes, wrong everything. Realizing that to gain our ends we must pull together, and that to pull together we become organized, we held our first class meeting and elected officers. . .1 the help of these officers we managed to struggle along, gradually adjusting ourselves to our new surroundings. To put an end to our miseries. the juniors initiated us into full-fledged high school students. Our Sophomore year found us with our number depleted but with cour- age unabated. Our newly acquired confidence was put to the test often, but undaunted by these trials we found ourselves at the beginning of our junior year quite equal to the task of carrying on . This year passed by with surprising rapidity. We chose as our leaders: Miss Odoms, Sponsor, Charles Hartsock, President, Harry Anderson, Vice President, Hope Drews, Secretary, Ralph Waits, Treasurer. What would the Freshies have done without the ice-breaking initiation we gave them? And that banquet we provided for the Seniors of '34l Didn't they admire our taste in both decorations and eats ? We found it unwise to live on praise, so we settled down to business and elected Senior officers with Miss Larason, Sponsor, Harry Anderson, President, Ruth Bush, Vice Presi- dent, Audrey Aiken, Secretary, Mervin johnson, Treasurer. Thus we began our gay, frivolous last year, with good times galore. Four years have gone. Now we can look back laughingly at our struggles. This class of '35 will soon be a memory to come but to each of us now graduating it will always remain a vivid thing, and I challenge you of '35- who will forget: The mock trial and parade through town at the initiation? Lucy jane Patterson's occasional l?l tardiness? Luther Steagall's ability to get into trouble? Exams? Sunbonnet Sue ? Art Diekmeyer's performance against New Richmond? This is not the end but the beginning of our class history. Some may go far, some may never go outside the gate of our own town, but may we all be successful in whatever we do. -Hope Drews 1935 Page sixteen

THE DROFLIM JUNIOR CLASS LOG In September of l932 we met, sixty-seven strong, for the first time as a class of Milford High School. By the time we recovered from the agony of getting up and walking out of study hall at the five-minute bell and of wandering into the wrong classes, we were fairly well acquainted with each other as well as with our teachers and classrooms. About that time we held an assembly, the first of many fateful class meetings, in which we elected officers for the year. We were given the very unsophisticated title of Freshmen , which didn't bother us one bit until it was rumored that the juniors would soon request everyone answering to that name to attend a gathering they were preparing, called Initiation. All of us who survived that ordeal were then full-fledged members of Milford High School. During our first year the usual group of young hopefuls tried out for the 'varsity teams, and we were quite thrilled when a number of the members of our class were given suits. We were all rather eager to get back in the fall of '33, Although this feeling soon wore off, a few of our members managed to qualify for meme' bership in the Clionian Club and were admitted to that organization. Our Sophomore girls' basketball team, after losing most of its practice games rose to glory by tying with the Freshman girls' for the intramural championship. The next fall we found ourselves classed under the heading juniors and, as such, we took very great pleasure in performing our duty toward the i934-35 Freshmen. They were as excited and as scared upon receiving invita- tions to Initiation as we had been two years lkfore. On january l5, 1935. we jumped into the limelight by presenting the three act comedy, Fifty- Fifty . We were so encouraged by the success of this undertaking that we decided to engage in some minor money-making activities. These took the form of selling popcorn and candy and of putting out several issues of the RefIector . Both enterprises provided fun and interest for our class as well as profits for our treasury. ln the spring we gave a farewell party, the junior-Senior Banquet, for the Seniors, that grand class which so soon was to leave us. -Rebecca Gregg 1935 Page eighteen
