Shadow of your smile: Steve Wallace and Marsha Kimler take advantage of an opportunity to chat be- tween dances. Jone York reigns over rainy '66 Homecoming Despite the continual drizzle of rain, the 1966 Homecoming activities proceeded with only slight alterations. The Senior Class began the celebration with a rainy, windy struggle to construct a 40 foot high bonfire from boxes, logs, trees, and crates, which had been carted to the rear of the high school. Although the results weren't quite what was expected, a spirited pep rally applauded the widest it not the tallest bonfirei The Eagle's football game with Deer Park was postponed for one night because of the inclement weather, but the un- nual Homecoming Dance continued as scheduled. Amid bright- ly flowered decorations and beautifully-gownedattendants, Miss Jane York was named I966 Homecoming Queen. On Saturday evening, despite the cold mist and muddied field, the football team appeared on the gridiron anxious and determined to detect Deer Park's Wildcats. During half-time the various brilliantly adorned Hoots made their appearance and rounded the field to be judged Queen Jane York then presented her color, blue, to co-coptuins Steve Bates and Tom Hogue, and awarded the Junior Class the hard-eorned first prize for their float built around the theme of Batman. Atthough the aggressive Milford Eagles were downed by the Wildcats 226, the anticipation, effort, excitement, and pog- ecntry ot Homecoming remained in the memories of the stu- dents of Milford High School.

The 1967 Senior Class Play, Oliver proved unique in many as- pects. Director, Mr. Gerald Yentes began casting the play in September, CI month eortier than usual, selecting 43 seniors supplemented with 12 junior high boys. Seventh grader, Tim Brotten, was chosen to portray Oliver. Senior Gary Komlos was picked to portray the grizzled pick- pocket, Fagin, and Linda David was chosen to depict the tragic figure of Nancy. Other major roles were won by Terry Creeden, Rhonda Dean, Dale Carr, and Louis Murphy. Because uOliver! was such a tremendous production, the cost begun rehearsals immediatety. While the aspiring actors and actresses mem- orized lines, learned songs, and mastered the art of blocking, a revol- ving stage, the first of its kind at Milford, was constructed to allow the necessary scene changes, Senior stage hands painted scenery depicting ISth century London which served as background for the duut-Ievet stage, Mrst Trudy Stevens designed and created mid-t 81h century English costumes which added another distinctty professional touch to the two pertormances. The final rehearsals dissolved rapidly into tout nerves as the 12- piece orchestra began the overture on opening night. Then Oliver! was over, and only the memory remuined-the memory of a favorite song, at the weeks of rehearsals, of the applause at finale, of a success- ful play. Nobody mentions my name! roars Louis Murphy as the villainous Bill Sikes, embracing Linda David us Nancy.
