Text from Pages 1 - 162 of the 1950 volume:

She, Senior Class launches UNANIMOUSLY DEDICATED TO Mr. Huth, Miss Hastings, Mrs. Williams It is with sincere appreciation that we, the Class of 1950, dedicate the Milfordian to our advisors: Mrs. Florence P. Williams, Miss M. Louise Hastings, and Mr. Lochlin R. Huth. All three gave unselfishly of their time, their ideas, and their energy to make our senior year a happy, worthwhile, and memorable one. At all times they were ready and willing to aid us whenever assistance was needed. We particularly feel indebted to Mrs. Williams for the great number of hours, both during and after school, that she spent on this yearbook. With the fi- nancial advice given us by Miss Hastings and Mr. Huth, we were able to enjoy a three-day trip to New York and to produce a yearbook. In recognition, therefore, of their friendship and service to us, we consider it a great pleasure to dedicate the Milfordian of 1950 in their honor. WE SALUTE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, • Row 1: Mr. Roosa, Mrs. Phillips, Mr. Mayhew; Row 2: Mr. Humes, Mr. Cobbs. The Board of Education extends hearty congratulations to the Class of 1950 for their grand achievement in bringing out this yearbook, The Milfordian. The Board realizes the work and effort which is required, and the Class is to be commended for their courage and ambition. God grant that you may never lose that ambition nor the faith in your abilities to tackle big projects and see them through. A. E. Humes, President John F. Roosa, Vice-President Mrs. Ida Phillips Harry E. Mayhew Ramon C. Cobbs, Secretary It is always a great pleasure for a school administrator to extend greetings to the members of the Senior Class. As seniors you are completing the requirements for graduation from a noble and an accredited institution of learning. You have succeeded as students and are now ready to assume greater responsibilities. Accept this chall- enge courageously and protect your heritage fearlessly. My congratulations and sincere best wishes will be with you always. Ramon C. Cobbs Superintendent OUR WORTHY EXECUTIVE OFFICER MR. GLASMIRE, To every student there comes the urge to record for the future a book of memories. This urge has led to the fine practice of producing annually a yearbook. With the was came the necessity for making many changes and adjustments. Discontinuing the yearbook was one of those changes. With the return to normalcy after the cessation of hostilities came the privilege of again print- ing an annual. Our appreciation is extended to Mrs. Williams, Miss Hastings and the very fine staff of students who produced this annual. Their cooperative efforts have earned for them a permanent place in our memories. Within its pages you will find much of the pleasant part of the record of your activities in Milford High School. The passing of time and the fulfilment of your destiny will lend enchantment to this record. You will come to view it with nostalgia. Refer to this record often and remember the best days of your years. M. A.

Naturally curly hair, an asset every girl desires. Intelligent with wit, Chelle is well known for her ability to keep all classes in a jovial mood. Her ath- letic ability gives good reasons for the resounding rahs” from spectators. During hockey season, her most constant supporter was Junior, a canine with- out pedigree or equal. President of the Senior Girl Scout troop, Chelle has helped in clinic work. Always good at dissecting others' arguments during a debate, Chelle will be our contribution to the medical world as a doctor. EMERSON ADAMS It was an easy choice we made to elect Emerson our enior class president. His pleasant smile and win- ing personality make him a natural leader. Although prepared to give Harry James competition in his handling of the trumpet, Emerson is also known as an ardent intramural participant, a senior student coun- cil representative, and a scholar. His cherubic ex- pression is deceptive, for he is mischievous and is ever ready with his clever repartees. JOHN ARGO Although usually sporting a guise of unobtrusiveness- this likeable fellow happens to be one of the most persuasive salesmen of the senior class. He's known as a drummer of anything and everything conceivable. A studious chap, John also finds time to defend the banner of the homeroom during any season of sports. Asking for an assignment to be repeated several times is one of his noteworthy tendencies. JAMES BERWICK If scientific brains were money, Jim would probably be rich. Need any help on a math problem? Here's your man. Though it is hardly possible to call this senior bashful, nevertheless he is outstanding on the list of the reserved. Amiable in every way, this scholar was the Senior Varsity Manager of all sports this year. CHELL BETTY BROWN Acarefree kind of gal, w i t h an always pleasant attitude, Betty looks the part she plays as society editor of the Maroon and Gold. She's always ready to lend assistance in class activities and is on every intramural team. Though usually quiet she becomes full of vim, vigor, and vitality whenever an occasion presents itself. A member of the Senior Chorus and yearbook staff. DONALD CLIFTON Although he came to us from Baltimore, Donald is now a resident of the fair city of Houston. An energetic, talkative sort of a fellow, who is an auto-racing fan. He has the kind of personality that makes him fun in any situation. Don is famous for always having an answer in class. MARGARETTE COFFIN She has beautiful red hair and she's the ambitious, lively type of person with a sunny disposition that everyone dreams of. Peggy doesn't have to worry about aplacein the commercial world because besides possessing all these personal qualifications, she is an outstanding student. English is her main dish. The work she has done with the Girl Scouts is most com- mendable. She's the treasure of the senior class. Need we say more? Lot's of luckj ) a swell gal. JOHN COFFMAN A friendly lad who is always ready to wield a hammer in the interest of the class, goodhearted John is an F. F. A. member, in there when it comes to intra- murals, and co-operative in every way, shape, and form. Has a very mischievous look in his eyes and does most of his talking for points in English class. LOUELLA COVERDALE Not usually a claimant to hilarity, Louella is not- withstanding, ready to add her part when the fun begins. A genuine follower of the homeroom teams, she adds her bit in basketball, softball, and hockey. In spite of the fact that she came to us in the ninth grade, her ready smile has won her a place in the hearts of every- one. With her sincerity, someone is sure to have an unbeatable secretary. - t'Vst JEHU DAyiS nfr His active work in the F. F. A and 4-H Club has won him a great deal of recognition as being a future dairy farmer. Jack is modest, but with his neat appearance and gentlemanly manner, it has been an easy task for him to win many chums. An excellent student, he is an advocate of the theory that a word from the wise is sufficient. LV . li .0 VIVIAN COLE Although Vivian moved away from us once, it must have been fate that brought her back to graduate with friends easily made because of her wonderful person- ality. This petite blond is a member of the F. H. A. and the sport editor of the Maroon and Gold. She is neat and attractive with a facial expression that would lead one to believe that she is quiet. Beware though, because it takes very little to get her wound up. CLARA COVERDALE Seemingly quiet, but really lively and efficient, lara may be depended upon to serve on committees and sell anything the class has to offer. Assistant editor of the Yearbook and a D. A. R. candidate. Always neatly dressed, she looks good and is well- liked by all who know her. -.. -- BILL EISENBREY BETTY DEPUTY Another member of those three inseparable Mus- keteers , Betty is a willing worker. She has the kind of ambition that is sure to earn her a place in the commercial world. Betty likes all sports, but is particularly interested in basketball and softball. An amiable person, she seems to take everything in her stride, including a little tap dancing. GLENN DILL X sfippla. r 1 y gentleman who has earned plenty of trips to his good work in the F. F. A. and 4-H Clubs. He was the President of the Junior Class and is an able worker of the Senior Class. Glenn is the capable editor of the Maroon and Gold. This fellow will go far in the field of agriculture. An easy-going gent, Bill seems to possess the idea that I'll get there when I arrive. It's hard to tell whether he’s blushing or not, with that ruddy com- plexion. Slightly on the bashful side, nevertheless, he is a lot of fun in a crowd. Intramural football seems to be a standout in his curriculum. Hisworkas President of the F. F. A. is especially noteworthy. GILBERT EMORY Friendly, good-natured F. F. A. member who is always smiling. Tall, dark, and handsome sports participant. While he's a whiz on the basketball court, his prowess on a ball diamond has earned him the title of Babe. Gilbert's pride and joy is his car which he generally loads up on every trip to town. JOAN ENNIS There's nothing quite like Ellendale might describe Joan's opinions on the changing world. Owns a slow drawl that is the subject of much teasing. A good- natured girl with aperpetually pleasant smile. She is of the crew known as The Three Musketeers. Truly represented herself in the dancing skit at the Senior Bazaar. A real supporter of the intramural teams. One of Joan's favorite pastimes is to sit in class and J«gWe. ROBERT FITZCHARLES Quiet, studious boy. Friendly, one of the tallest in class. Intelligent, especially in science and history. Want to know anything about geography? Ask Bob. Very much interested in intramural softball. CHARLES GREEN A cheerful sort of fellow who thinks Slaughter Beach is heaven. Charles is one of the people who helped the students go through the right door and down the right stairs this year. Being a good student has made him popular with both the teachers and his friends. He always seems to sit in the back of the room where he won't be noticed, but don’t let that fool you for there are occasions when his presence is obvious. ALLAN GARBUTT One of the blithe spirits of the class, Allan has a fervor for being a shutter-bug. With a sparkling personality, which is full of mischief, he has little trouble in winning friends. His dry humor makes him a popular fellow, but woe unto the poor teacher who likes a quiet class with Allan in it. Well-noted for never being on time, he is, though, always on time with a well-needed pun. A member of the Varsity foot- ball team. WINIFRED GREENLY Here we have an attractive lassie who has the get- up-and-go qualification that makes for a successful person. Winnie was the president of the F . H . A . last year and is an active member this year. A prominent figure at the class meeting, she follows up motions with a willingness to do more than her part in any class activity. A member of the yearbook staff and a zealous 4-H member. MARY ANN HITCHENS A tall, blond senior girl who possesses many good homemaking qualities. A reporter on the Maroon and Gold staff, member of the Chorus and F. H. A. Favorite summer sport—lolling on Rehoboth Beach. BAYARD HOLLEGER A sociable gent who is ready to help in all school activities. While he was one of the capable co-captains of the '49 Bucs' team, he is also rarin' to go on a basketball court or a baseball diamond in the fight for the flag. Your first impression of Bayard? Quiet. ANN HORNEY Active Secretary of Senior Class whose favorite pas- times are dancing and singing. Incidentally, she is a member of the Kent County Chorus. Ann can usually be seen with the intramural teams and in a lively group of conversationalists. Zipping over the typewriter keys like mad, Ann is well above average in this field. JAMES JOHNSON Much can be said about this gentleman. He is the president of the Student Council, the captain of the basketball team, the occupant of the lot corner during baseball session. Jim is always constructing those inimitable phrases which fit any situation. In practically everything when it comes to class activities, this affable lad is sure to make a spot for himself in the years to come. - ± ti TILGHMAN KRAUSS Tig is a fellow of explanations. (Ask Miss Herson.) Sports and auto-racing enthusiast, he is Art Editor of the Milfordian and has participated in basketball, football, track, and was manager of the baseball team. -‘Tn.rvV ' MARY LEE JACOBS One of the two senior redheads, She is outstanding in hockey and softball and is definitely interested in art. Her warm brown eyes and affectionate disposition have won plenty of friends for this neat dresser. PHOEBE HOUSTON A senior, well-known for her soprano solo work in school and in the Kent County Chorus. Part of the Swing Flag unit in the school band. Our gregarious Phoebe loves adventures and excitement. JULIA LANE The Editor-in-Chief of the Milfordian. Julia is iways ready with the jokes, but it takes little to show her the serious side of a question. Noted for her small stature, she is nevertheless a big present when some- one needs able assistance. Being diminutive is most deceptive in her case since she is an able and a loud cheer leader. VERNON LEMEX Quick with the witty expressions and ever ready to lend a helping hand, Vernon is the kind of chap whom everyone makes friends with. He is the manager of the varsity basketball team and was a first team valuable during football season. Everyone appreciates the fine work he did as one of the two assistant editors of our yearbook. PHYLLIS LYNCH Although not a member of the varsity teams, Phyllis still finds time to back her school to the hilt when it comes to team rooting. She may be seen quite often at the skating rink, for skating if one of her favorite pastimes. This ambitious lass did a swell job of narration at the Christmas assembly this year. CECIL MALONEY ’’The Bombshell of the Bucs, Cecil was co-captain of the’49 eleven. Four years of football and basketball and three years of baseball have made him indispensable among our athletes. He was also co-captain of the Traffic Squad. He has a friendly personality and is a neat dresser. Winner of the Gold Award in football. Lay-out editor for the Mildordian. 1 HUGH MARTIN Industrious senior whose sports activities in football and track made him sports editor of this volume. Hugh loves a good time and as President of the A. A. is Coach Briggs’ right-hand man. Remember Hugh and our Junior Prom? Did a good job, didn't he? °lL. FRANCIS MARTUCCI This fellow keeps busy for he's Vice President of our class and of the F. F. A., business manager of the Milfordian and Maroon and Gold. Fred is also President of the 4-H Club. A second-class seaman in the Naval Reserve, he weighed anchor for Puerto Rico in January. With all this he still finds time for intra- mural football and a good time. - ' -£0 A former Philadelphian who joined us in the sopho- more year, the General is a participant in sports. Francis was captain of the undefeated J. V. five in '49, played on the football team three years, and was on the track squad for three years. C LYDIA McGINNES Chorus, basketball, dance band, cheer-leading, — all these activities are part of Clydia's busy schedule. Short, studious, a T. V. fiend and a fun lover, she is the girl who's always asking Huh? Patients will react favorably for such a nurse. FRED MICHEL DONALD MILLS They say he's quiet, but who knows? Donald is another officer of the F. F. A., secretary in fact. His pet peeve is English, but on the varsity diamond he's at his best. This swell fellow is willing to aid at all times VIOLET MINNER An Irish rose with flashing eyes and pink cheeks. Ding Ding is mischievous, talkative, and a good salesgirl for her class. Almost forgot, she's a resi- dent of Milford's popular suburb, Houston. ELEANOR NAILOR A friendly, sociable girl whose active interest in girls' sports is responsible for many of her good quali- ties. Thinks a two-mile walk home is a mere jaunt. She is always willing to help do anything she is asked; as a result of this she is President of the F. H. A. - 1 1 1 “TS «Su CAROLYN NELTE The engaging, well-dressed senior who was three times chosen to represent us in the May Court. Care- free, happy-go lucky, and peppy, Carolyn fights for her home room on the basketball court, plays in the band, and plans to be another Girl in White.

JEAN SAP JANE SAVIN JOAN SNOWBERGER % Joan, a petite, light-haired girl, is one of our peppi- est cheer-leaders. Her energy was also well used when she played on our varsity hockey team as well as the Juggernautettes basketball six. Dover's loss has been Milford's gain. ALBERT STOKES A very hard-working student whose interests center around agriculture. It was this vocational interest, not the becoming blue of the F. F. A. jacket, that has made him an earnest member of that club. Amiable fellow; the little guy compensates for Carl's height on the home room teams. CARL SWANSON One of our outstanding students, a willing worker, member of the football squad and track team, active on home room teams. Typically Scandanavian, Carl plans to follow the seafaring bent that marks his ances- try and study engineering in the United States Navy. Who knows------he may become Secretary of the Navy.

She ignores them. CHARLES VAN PELT An outstanding track enthusiast, Charles also finds time to heave that football with the best of the intra- mural teams. Although he is not generally the forward type, this fellow is handy with the wise-cracks when a dull moment is in progress. Of fiction he reads only the best. DORIS WARD One of our future Nightingales, Doris is the star first baseman for the varsity softball team. She has other interests too, which include horseback riding, intramural basketball, and pushing her green Chevy over the open road. __ JkJ.

Let's change our course and cross Memory Bay before the final sails have been lowered. In September, 1946, we had reached the esteemed position of Freshmen. We immediately elected Jim Johnson to be our president and with Miss Eisenbrey, Miss Horrocks, and Mr. Yon as our advisors, we enjoyed a successful year. Our year as Sophomores was a busy one. John DeChant was voted in unanimously as our president. Miss Foster and Mr. Pyne started us off on the right foot by sponsoring the sale of stationery and a bake. Finally the date for our Sophomore Hop arrived. It was our first real dance and every one had a swell time. Then we were Juniors. After electing Glenn Dill as our Executive Officer, we really got down to work. We sold fruit cakes during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and held a bake which turned out to be remunerative. And who could forget the peanut brittle we sold? The Juniors were the best customers of this product. Every Junior could be found with mouth chuck-full of it. At last came the big night in any Junior's life--the Junior Prom. Remember? Our theme was a Southern Plantation. There was Spanish moss imported from North Carolina and hanging from picturesque balconies, the porch of a southern mansion, fences of grille-work, and other southern scenery. Lest we forget, Charles Brerne's orchestra provided the musical background and with his assistance we effected the first Grand March event held in Milford High School. At last 11 We became Seniors! I We immediately began planning ways of making money for our trip to New York. Some of our projects were selling magazine subscriptions, and with Christmas nearing we sold Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and seals. Later our selling attraction was mints. We followed all of these with our bazaar--and what a bazaar! ! There was bingo, a white elephant booth, booths to test one's rifle eye, a bake, and refreshments. Concluding these came the one act comedy And the Villian Still Pursued Her, and the tap dancing skit. But the night still wasn't over, for Glenn Dill proved to be an able auc- tioneer, ending a most successful affair. All of these were topped by the Senior Play, Best Foot Forward. Finally came the big day when we went to New York on our class trip. We did our best to be true sophisticates. Not quite a month later we were all anxiously awaiting our diplomas. We have reached the Port of Graduation. Now we're back where we started. It has been grand fun, hasn't it? ON WATCH BEYONG THE HORIZON 'I'd li e to introduce myself. I am Nautical Joe, alumnus of Milford High's Class of '50. Most of my classmates have forgotten me, but I've often wondered what has become of them. There was a boy who was going to—but wait, that was eight bells. Time for me to go on watch now. Better hustle. Boy, are these steps slippery! Oh, my aching head! Where am I? Who's that? I might be crazy but that looks like a mermaid. Wait a minute, Babe. Don't go away. She sure can swim fast. Hey, mister, get out of my way. I wonder who this old man with flowing white beard and the three-pronged pitchfork is. Who are you anyway? You are honored by the presence of King Neptune. Because of trans- portation difficulties, you'll have to stay here a little while. I’m a man overboard! I've heard that you can foretell the future. Are you truly psychic? We'll see. About whom are you interested? My former classmates, the M. H. S. Alumni of 1950. Where's my periscope? There's Hugh Martin. His architectural designs are now under contract to Bob Fitzcharles. Coach Briggs has retired, leaving Jim Johnson to maneuver the Bucs. Cecil Maloney and his permanent partner, Clara Coverdale, are doing a lucrative business selling men's and women's clothing. Piscator Vernon Einstein Lemex has just discovered a better bait for nuclear fission-—Fishin' that is. Laugh, son, it's a joke. Jack Davis, Albert Stokes, Bill Eisenbrey, Donald Mills, Tig Krauss, and Bayard Holleger with their 2, 000 acre farms are cornering the dairy and poultry markets. Glenn DiU, Cornell graduate, is gaining fame in his work on the develop- ment of self-shucking corn. Your country is certainly well defended with such soldiers as John Argo, Francis Martucci, and John Coffman and 'gobs' like Charles Van Pelt, Carl Swanson, and Fred Michel. Gladys Wilson is still helping spread Christianity, sailing all over the world doing her work. Dr. Chelle Bovis has been appointed Chief Surgeon of Come-En-Go General Hospital. Also on the staff are Nurses Jean Sapp, Doris Ward, Clydia McGinnes, Mary Lee Jacobs, Helen Sacker, Carolyn Nelte, Jane Savin, and Violet Minner. Winnie Greenly is Supervisor of the Polio Ward; Kathy Tyndall is X-ray Technician; and Betty Brown has Come-En-Go as her headquarters while doing public health work. Eleanor Nailor, Julia Lane, and Mary Phyllis Lynch have already set up housekeeping, having had their homes made beautiful by the famous interior decorator Joan Snowberger. Ann Homey's dream of working in the office of the F. B. I. has finally materialized, while Peggy Coffin is secretary to the Vice-President of the Du Pont Company. The Class of '50 has well supplied the local business offices, too, with such employees as Louella Coverdale, Phyllis Wilkins, Alice Warren, Emma Pettyjohn, Vivian Cole, Mary Ann Hitchens, Joan Ennis, Betty Deputy, and Jean Webb. By the way, I had my dentures changed the other day by a friend of yours- Emerson Adams. After working three months out of every year, Donald Clifton and Gilbert Emory may be found lolling around on the beaches of Miami, Florida. Allan Garbutt is still turning out unusual shots with his camera for the country's leading magazines. Charles Green is still busy trying to buy the rest of Slaughter Beach. He owns most of it already, you know. Phoebe Houston in sunny California is companion to Greta Garbo. James Berwick has developed a key-hole ear while listening for opp- ortunity to knock on his door. That's about all of the Class of '50. Here's a sea-horse ready to take you to the surface. Good luck, sailor. LEFT WITH THE PURSER CLASS WILL Whereas, we the class of 1950, after four years of mental controversies, are ready to embark into our futures, and whereas, we feel it only right to bestow upon the undergraduates certain distinctions which we are sure will help them overcome their next grueling experiences with higher learning, we the members of the Class of 1950 do hereby bequeath the following: Emerson Adams leaves his position of solo trumpeter in the band to Charles Betts.

C.OaJL Usvl -W 'GL j(A 9 WE LEAVE BEHIND ON SECOND DECK THE FIRST CLASS PETTY OFFICERS AND THE SECOND CLASS SEAMEN WHOSE COURSE THEY HAVE STEERED. September found a Junior Class eager to set sail for fun and work. For fun, they participated in both varsity and intramural sports, in clubs, and in many other acitivities. An election held for class officers resulted in the naming of Charles Coverdale as president, to be capably assisted by Vice President Shirley Pearson, Secretary Audrey Hunter, and Treasurer Jo Anne Wood. The Juniors were very fortunate to have as class advisors Miss Jane Herson and Mr. Albert Rosen, both of whom gave invaluable suggestions and indispensable advice. In November a Ways and Means Committee was selected to devise ways of raising finances--the inevitable! The money-making projects decided upon were the selling of fruit cakes and peanut brittle, sponsoring a benefit movie, holding several bakes, and having a rummage and white elephant sale. At last the time drew near for that all-important voyage of the year--the Junior Prom. This year was the first time for the Prom to be held in the new cafeteria. Painstaking work, an unusual theme, and an excellent orchestra resulted in a huge success. Row 1: S. Carr, S. Carroll, J. Davidson, D. Deputy, H. Evans, P. Dickerson, I. Davidson; Row 2: B.

ON THIRD DECK THE SECOND CLASS PETTY OFFICERS AND THE APPRENTICE SEAMEN THEY HAVE PILOTED, We Sophomores, steered by our good friend Buddy Kimmel as president, have had a whale of a school year. Assisting Buddy were Vice-President Frank Pettyjohn, Secretary Joyce Argo, and Treasurer Amelia Fink, under whose leadership, the Sophs had many successful acitivities. With our food sale and bake we embarked on a delightful cruise. In the spring we really found Davey Jone's locker at the Sophomore Hop! We had cargoes of fun getting everything in readiness for the gay affair. Those who came enjoyed the dance as much as we did. Throughout the year we made headway on all sides of the school calendar. A few of us were seen on the athletic fields and others on deck in the music room. We have been helped along our course by our class advisors, Miss Ruth Foster and Mr. Theodore Pyne. Now we are shoving off and hoping for an equally successful landing as Juniors. Row 1: E. Bennett, A. Bennett, R. Bunting, D. Davenport, A. Cohee, J. Argo, D. Bostick, B. Downes, A. Fink, J.

With the addition of students from Lincoln, Houston, and Ellendale, our contingent was greatly expanded. In the good ship 1953, we ventured on our first voyage with a number of interesting activities on our log. Among these were J. V. football, intra- mural sports, the Student Council, the Maroon and Gold paper, band and chorus. The highlight of the cruise was the Freshman Dance piloted by the ship's officers--Randall Wayne Christensen, Lester Hastings, Robert Donovan, and Norma Prettyman--and sponsored by Miss Reba Eisenbrey. So as our faithful ship approaches home port, we feel happy in the real- ization that our voyage has been a successful one. Puppy L y C%ro| TO OTS £ ANN Row 1: R. A. Coverdale, F. Dalfonso, D.
