% % “THE SEA OF LIFE” Milford High School Milford, Nebraska WURST’S SAINTS We Shall Follow the Flow of Life of the Milford High Eagles Through Classes and Organizations sportsmanship 4 Do we row or float through this sea? Strong muscles and wills will get us there But, do we pull with the powers that be And do we let others know we care? Or do we let those oars lie Resting, rotting right where they are? Do we question what, now, why? Or pin our hopes on a star? Let’s row! Make some waves now! And follow them to the shore Show them we know hold And then, row some more with determination!

Our circus world is a kaleidoscope of colors moving and pulsating with life. We move onward into life, not away from it. Each in our own ways listening to the particular calopy music that is ours. Each of us lion tamers, making our hidden needs and longings perform as we choose. Each of us walking the high wire balancing to obtain the heights. Our world is a circus. Each of us the ringmaster.

Dean Bruna. As we prepare to enter the Sea of Life, we become more aware of the things that in- fluence us more and more. Throughout this annual we have tried to display our sea of life at MHS and how each activity, class, or organization has influenced some part of our lives in some way. It is our responsibility as individuals to accept things that cannot be changed and try to change things that can be made better. I would like to thank Mrs. Christy, Randy Erb, and the Annual Staff, with a special thanks to Dean Bruha, Dean Covert, and Dale Scott (our fa i th fu 1 photographers) for helping make this annual. We hope you enjoy looking through this yearbook and that it will bring back good memories of your 1973-74 school year.
