Our nation is committed to a philos- ophy of education based on quality and equality of educational oppor- tunity for all. If education is to move forward, its first challenge is to depart from antiquated prOCedure's of the past. We cannot continue With such procedures when newer and better solutions are available. The Milford B 0 ard of Education, administrators, and teachers are alert to new ideas in secondary education and apply them to the system when it is feasible. I extend my congratulations to the Senior Class of 1961 for a remarkable record in scholastic achievement and its contribution to th e extracur- ricular activities of the school. MR. SIDNEY B.

How fortunate you seniors are to have the opportunity to graduate from a high school in America. There are those who would have you believe otherwise, who condemn American education as being inferior to that of some other countries. There are those, too, who say that democracy is an inferior type of government. Americahs greatness has been achieved because of her democratic form of government and because of her public school system. It has been your good fortune to grow up under these systems that someone else has struggled for and given you the opportunity to enjoy. May you be appreciative enough of them to preserve and promote them for the generations yet to come. MR. JAMES H. FLEY Superintendent of Milford Schools Mrs. Snell has, With the aid of a friendly cheerful smile and a Willing- ness to help and understand, made herself a necessary and welcome p'art 0f Milford,s school system as Mr. Fleyhe secretary at Milford South Elementary School and Clerk of the Milford School Board. 22

We shall always remember his speaking at our assemblies, at the games, in the classroom, and helping with our school activities. The careful planning, thoughtful execution and personal counseling that Mrs. Dickens has given this year has made the many changes in school life more interesting and more understandable to the students at Milford High School.
