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

THE DROFLIM FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES We, the class of '38, entered Milford High School anticipating a won- derful time during the coming year. We felt proud indeed, but we were soon suppressed by the Iordly manner of the Seniors, the sophistication of the juniors, and even the superiority of the Sophomores, who were them- selves mere Freshmen just one short year ago. We were soon in the midst of the battle, stumbling helplessly through Tanner's Correct English , wan- dering aimlessly about in General Science laboratory, gazing blankly at an imposing array of equations and unknowns in Algebra class, drilling with determination on Latin declensions and conjugations, and exploring in the fields of history, civics, and home economics. However, there are some pleasant things to break the monotony of school life, and in the dim and distant future we shall relate to our children and grand-children the good times we experienced in Latin club, our superb performances in Dramatic club, Mr. Milligan's prize jokes, Mr. Harper's daily quizzes, Miss Larason's use of the word atrocious , Miss Hilliard's southern accent, and Mr. MacDonald's keen and piercing glances in study hall. We shall tell them how the juniors initiated us by causing us to don the garb of the proverbial morons which all Freshmen are supposed to be, and re- quiring us to perform as such for the entertainment of a large audience. We shall boast about having two girls on the Varsity and two boys as cheer leaders. We do not know what destiny awaits us, but we hope to emerge from Milford High School in i938 equipped to take our place in the world and bring honor to our dear old school. -Vona Ruth Owens I 9 3 5 Page twenty-two
