BASEBALL Along with spring and graduation comes America's favor- ite national sport—baseball, the game which promotes good athletes and good sportsmanship. A large turnout of candidates for different positions always makes baseball a highly competitive game at Milford. Even though some do not make the grades they still continue to turn up at practices and do their bit to train the nine first string men and cheer them on, in the face of overwhelming odds, to victories over competing teams. This year's season has all possibilities of being a success- ful one for the baseball squad because good material is plenti- ful and we at Milford are confident that a winning team can be turned out by our competent coach.

MH Betty Briscoe The 1946 girls' varsity basketball team started practice with a great deal of enthusiasm. Material was good and everyone was expecting a victorious season. A victory over the Alumni started the team well on its way to a successful season. The second game was lost to Rehoboth but did not in nay way dampen the girls' spirits. Following this defeat came victories over Georgetown nad Ceasar Rodney which were fast and close, but the final scores added up in favor of our steadily progressing team. Spirit of the squad at all times remained at a high peak and with the help and leadership of two skilled coaches, Mrs. Betty Briscoe, and Miss Agnes Long who recently joined our faculty, the team completed a season characterized by close competitions.

t A group of peppy girls clad in the tradi- tional maroon and gold who deserve a great deal of due credit are the Milford High School cheer leaders. With a clapping of the hands, and a hip- hip—are you ready?—let's go! they give out with a snappy cheer that keeps the old spirit alive in all the hearts of the true Mil- ford fans. They give courage to a losing team even when inevitable defeat is at hand and cheer a winning team, with just as much pep and ginger, to a glorious victory. To these girls, who have done so much in keeping faith alive in the teams battling it out on the field of competition, we owe a debt of gratitude, for without their help and cooperation many a game would have been lacking in the proper spirit to both teams and fans. ... and ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Composed of five student members, and assisted by Athletic Director Bernard E. Briggs, the Athletic Association has a nota- ble record of achievement. Accredited to it are such praiseworthy projects as the forma- tion and sale of Athletic Association mem- bership cards, direction of intramural, and the establishment of a system of awards.
