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

THE DROFLIM SOPHOMORE CLASS RECORD lf the man who said that simplicity is the keynote to charm knew what he was talking about, the group of promising students comprising the class of '37 mustlhalve been charming to an astonishing degree. After all, however, we were merely average Freshmen and our utter lack of sophisti- cation was quite natural, for ultra-grassiness is a trait peculiar to Fresh- men the world over, and we recovered from it just as every other class has since time immemorial. A few weeks sufficed to establish us more firmly in M. H. S., and soon some enterprising upper classman buzzed about and inserted the bee of organization in the Freshman bonnet, consequently, we met in our home room under the able chaperonage of Mr. MacDonald. Here we proceeded painstakingly to elect a president and to fill a number of minor offices. We smiled in satisfaction, for now we were a real class. Realizing that we were at last a full-fledged organization, we deter- mined to try our wings, we entered upon a series of business events and found, to our surprise, that we were quite capable business managers. All of our projects turned out successf y, and we prided ourselves in the know- ledge that we were one of the very few Freshman classes who had ever earned any money. ln one manner or another, most of us pulled through exams, and then vacation came. We did not meet again as a class until the autumn of '34, At that time we met to smile compassionately on the Freshmen and to congratulate ourselves on drifting safely through the terrors of the Fresh- man ffear into the Sophomore year, then suddenly we experienced the heart rending 'revelation that we had merely jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. -Margaret H. Milligan I 9 3 5 Page twenty
