Text from Pages 1 - 190 of the 1951 volume:

3jNUN3£dilrl DEDICATION To all those who have helped us along our upward climb, we, the class of '51, gratefully dedicate this yearbook. Without the guidance and understanding of our teach- ers, both elementary and high school, such an achievement would have been impossible. Thanks also go to our schoolmates and to the community who have so loyally supported our projects. Most of all we wish to express our deepest gratitude to our parents, who have always borne our smiles and tears with sympathy. STOCKHOLDERS OF OUR CIRCUS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Row 1: Mr. John F. Roosa, President; Mrs. Ida S. Phillips, Vice-President; Mr. Harry E. Mayhew. Row 2: Mr. Alphonso E. Humes; Dr. Ramon C. Cobbs, Secretary. OUR MOST ABLE MANAGER, DR. COBBS The members of the 1951 graduating class of Milford High School have satis- factorily completed the academic require- ments stipulated by the Milford Board of Education. In so doing, they have proved themselves ready to assume greater re- sponsibilities. We urge them to continue their education at higher levels, in order that they may develop into worthy and mature citizens of these United States. It gives me great pleasure to offer my congratulations and to wish them every success in the future. Dr. Ramon C. Cobbs Superintendent OUR MAGNETIC BARKER, MR. GLASMIRE To pen lines of congratulations to a class is always one of the pleasant duties of a principal. We have followed with in- terest and with concern the development of each student of the class of 1951. We feel that you have made satisfactory pro- gress toward the goal for which you were working.

This neat dresser has been an active mem- ber in the clarinet section of the band for two years. A former softball manager, she has a keen eye for finding lost balls. Quiet and reliable, she did a competent job on the murals for the Junior Prom. Hazel Argo She's lovely, she's engaged, she uses—! This year's Miss Milford . The class has also recognized her good looks by electing her a member of the May Court. Hazel’s practical side was shown by her at- tentiveness during the marriage course in Sociology. Outside of Jimmy, her main interest is in knitting. Donald Armour This friendly varsity baseball pitcher is also active in intramurals. One of the most enthusiastic Future Farmers of America, Don’s co-operative ways assure him of a prosperous future. Patricia Baxter The tallest girl in the class, Patti plans to excel in the field of culinary art. Her spare time is taken up by the band and her art lessons. This year's softball manager may be seen next year at the University of Delaware struggling through the Home Ec course. Donald Beebe Tall, handsome, former class president who has done a praiseworthy job as lay-out editor of the year- book. Although an injured thumb kept him out of varsity sports, he took an evident interest in intramurals. Don's work on the prom proved his dependability. Ruth Ann Beideman Conscientious, faithful, participant in class activities. A charter member of the Honor Society, Buzzy was a real go-getter for ads. Will always be remembered as dashing about trying to accomplish a million things at once. The bus terminal will never be the same without her Buses leaving for Philadelphia, Wilmington____ Donald Black First a loud noise, next a gust of wind and then Don and his motorcycle come into sight. Height, along with his ability, has made him an asset in Milford's interscholastic program. We think he'U go far in his chosen field of traveling. Doris Brown Appears quiet, but brother, watch out! Izzy has the distinction of having chosen the most unusual occupation in our class—that of a mortician. Active in softball and basketball, she is also endowed with a benign personality which should help her in whatever she attempts to do. Anthony Calvanesa Rudolph is known for his red nose, Tony for his red face. Quiet and forceful individual, he may shy from the girls, but not the girls from Tony. We're proud of his fine work on the football team and his willing support of intramurals. Betty Carey A sweet, shy senior with a soft voice, Betty seems quiet in class but manages to turn up with some good ideas and the perseverance to carry them out. In the spring she's sure to be found out on some soft-ball diamond doing her part. Another representative from the flourishing community of Ellendale, she can be depended on for a friendly smile and a cheerful word. Sally Carr Slender and attractive, Sally is known for her co-operative spirit in class projects. Many of the ads in our yearbook have been done by her. Her gift for picturesque wording, concealed from the public, de- serves mention. Everyone marvels that such vigorous cheering can come from a girl who is so reserved! Barbara Chaney A buxom miss who tries never to let her friends down. During any season of the year, Barbara may be seen playing one of the girls' sports with vigor or dirving her car with vim. When Chaney drives--------! Nothing is so silly as a silly laugh. John Clark Putt, putt, putt . . . along the street creeps a careening 1 93 5 Chevy, the pride and joy of Clark's life. Black, curly hair, brown eyes, and a ready smile—John and intramurals go hand in hand. Carolyn Coffin Carolyn is one of those unobtrusive, conscientious students—so it seems. But wait till you know her! A third-year member of the hockey and softball squads. Her out-of-school exercise consists of dragging her leashed pooch down the street. Shy; yes, demurely shy. She will make an efficient and well-dressed secretary to some employer. Charles Coverdale The lone flyer of our class, our able eleventh grade president has won distinction in many fields. Not only is he a star track-runner and the only baritone sax player but he is also president of both the dance band and the Milford Band and Chorus Association. Chuck's Kaiser is as well known as his Doodle-bug. Irene Davidson Around Milford High she's known as Legs”. Loaded with polchritude and a spitfire temperament, there's almost nothing she can't do well. Title of Most Athletic attained through her skill in all sports. Her popularity and her determination to get things done have made her an outstanding member of the Senior Class. Janet Davis A soft-spoken miss who stays in the background but always comes through when she’s needed. Another idolizer of the baseball immortals. Jan's ambition is to become either a fashion designer or a make-up ex- pert. Agood-natured friend who likes people in general. Marvin Davis Has distinguished himself all through high-school inF.F.A. work; his diligence has finally been recog- nized by his election to the presidency. A former bas- ketball player, Marvin's effervescent personality assures him a place in the memories of his friends. Never troubles trouble 'till trouble troubles him. Janet Denney Graduation won't make too much difference in Jan's itinerary because she plans to work for our neighbors, the Caulk Company. A movie fan who has a mania for clothes and a deep love for children. Her favorite indoor sport is baby-sitting—with someone else's children. Dianne Deputy This pretty girl is like a malady; she gives a young man heart trouble. Another baseball fan (atic), this petite miss with her naturally curly blonde hair and blue eyes is also an excellent conversationalist. Her delicate appearance is proof that looks can be deceiving. ■i Sandra Deputy A tall, willowy blonde whose talents are well known, Sandra has aspirations to be a great concert artist. Rejoining us in our Junior year, she has proved herself to be equally at ease seated on a piano bench or before an easel. In the school of coquettes, Sandra is a scholar. Phyllis Dickerson There are many words to describe Phyl; the best is efficient. Along with being the speed demon of the keyboard and production manager of the yearbook, she was a praise-worthy Senior Class Secretary. Like Daylight Saving Time, she's always one hour ahead. Shirley Ellingsworth Shirley is another one of those hardworking Future Homemakers of America. Once again Ellendale has contributed a neat dresser and a good sport. Shirley's motto could well be, There's so much fun in the world, why not enjoy it? Virgil Emory Football, basketball, baseball--Virg is an en- thusiastic participant in all sports and really deserves the title Best School Spirit . Even with all his outside activities, he has managed to earn marks high enough to place him on the Honor Society. His ready smile and quick retorts have made this amiable lad a well- known figure around Milford High. Barbara Fitzgerald Bob Glasco So quiet, so modest, so like a gentleman. Al- though a four-letter man, Happy--like so many in our Class--takes a special interest in baseball. Although he takes a very light schedule, he's still no adherent to the homework theory. Bob Gibson It's difficult to enumerate the things this ambiti- ous gentleman is in. Having risen from the ranks, Gibby has become president of the Student Council as well as vice-president of the Milford Band and Chorus Association. Milford High presents to the Major Leagues Bob--an accomplished sax player and the class's choice of Wittiest and Most Likely to Succeed. An unassuming reader who is blessed with natur- aUy curly hair. By soliciting ads from Lincoln, she made a substantial contribution to the Milfordian. Barbara, who is a stock-car fiend, will no doubt have a secure position as secretary to the President of the American Stock-car Racing Association. Charles Green A quiet, likeable fellow with dark eyes and a merry grin who's especially interested in boating and fishing. Mathematical whiz when he feels like it, Bo is a happy-go-lucky student who thinks Slaughter Beach is heaven. He would like to spend all day listen- ing to the roar of the waves. Joan Hall Easy to know and fun to be with, Joan made a name for herself on the hockey field this year. Gifted with an unusual sense of humor and a laugh all her own, it's no wonder she was voted the Wittiest. Joan with her uke is the life of the party. Howard Harrington He has life, liberty, and a motorcycle on which to pursue happiness. In any season Howard and hunting are synonymous. Shortest in height, but not in personal- ity, he will find his friendly mien will be his latchkey anywhere. Joan Harrison Joan, a former basketball player, is still en- thusiastic about sports. Differing from the average student in our class, she dislikes baseball. Joan eyes the interior decorators enviously. Who knows? She may plan your house some day. Richard Holleger Dubbed as the best dresser for the boys, Senator always looks as though he'd stepped from the pages of Esquire. Acting the role of the perfect gentleman at all times, he has admirers extending throughout the student body and faculty. Harry Humes Band, Chorus, A.A., baseball, football, track, and basketball--you name it, he's In it. Aside from being Chairman of our Junior Prom and photography editor of the yearbook, Eggy has also presided during our most important year. Selected as Best All- Around and Most Athletic. Nancy Humes A vigorous cheerleader whose blonde hair and blue eyes have assured her a perennial position in the May Court. Her ability in varsity sports, in music, and in art have earned her the title of Best All A- round Girl. Nan's friendly attitude and endless stam- ina have won her many lasting friends. v Audrey Hunter Amiable, intelligent, reserved, in all things the mirror of courtesy. Our Junior Class secretary isn't brushing off the artist whom she has dated for the past few years and who has given her a diamond of which she is justly proud. A pianist with a voice that is ever so low and gentle. Waples Jester Our Senior Veep. Famous for his impersonations with Virgil which made a hit at the A. A. show last year. Waples supports our athletic program during the football and track seasons. Meanwhile he keeps his car clean, and vice-versa. Betty Kaiser A tiny, cute brunette who likes to crochet. One of our Promised Four. Betty's dry humor is best shown around her friends. Modest and unassuming is she, as all other high-school seniors should be. Jean Kepler If each giggle were a dollar, Jean would be a millionaire. Enterprising Senior Class treasurer. Even though she takes part in such outside activities as hockey, softball, and band, she has always managed to earn better than average grades. Mary Kay Kepler The youngest and the only one in our class born in China. Mary Kay's versatility and intelligence have won her many honors, among them the titles of Most Intellectual” and Most Likely to Succeed. As Liter- ary editor and a member of the hockey and softball teams and band, she enters into everything with the bouyancy and effervescense that makes Mary Kay, Mary Kay. Patsy Kern She is small but she is mighty --and she's wicked with a hockey stick. Pat has an affinity for stalling her Ford on the top of a hill, much to her cha- grin. Nevertheless she's made a capable class secre- tary and basketball manager. Her warm personality has won her many friends who will always remember her soft brown eyes. June Lapetina Peppy, friendly, flirtatious, versatile, popular —you can exhaust a dictionary f i n d i n g adjectives to describe June. A softball and basketball star, she manages to get attention without intention. Captain of the cheerleaders, she was chosen the girl with the Most School Spirit. A well-groomed miss with a sympathetic air. Bob Messick This boy started in the chicken business at an early age--a dent in the Pontiac's fender shows that. Bob finds his size can be a definite asset in some intra- murals. Already the right-hand man atBen Franklin's, he may some day be manager. Billy Morris Billy plays football and baseball, but football is his first love. His unabashed grin has made him such a general favorite that he's sure to be found play- ing up to an appreciative audience—largely consisting of ladies. Mousey is always proud to say that he's from Houston. We’re sure that some day he'll make his home town famous. John Mclnerney One of the few basses in the chorus, Johnny is another resident of the metropolis of Lincoln City. Definitely the athletic-looking type, he is famous for his discus and shotput. His indescribable laugh has started an epidemic of imitators. Walter Pase One-period Pase, characterized by his initimable laugh, which can be distinguished in any crowd. Our former football manager is a member of the National Guard. He works in the shoe department of Emanuel's, to boot. Pride of the press; click, click, poof!!! Danny Pearson Danny is outstanding for two-reasons. Not only was he an excellent football captain this year, but he is the only boy we know of who is in the same class as his niece. His pleasure in painting accounts for his desire to work in a wall-paper and paint store after graduation. Shirley Pearson The only thing she's small in is her stature. Shirley's reliability and intelligence have resulted in her holding several class offices. Sweetly demure— demurely sweet—such is this charter member of the Honor Society. The secret of her success in constancy to purpose. Bob Porter Personality kid and freshman treasurer. A com- bination of blonde, curly hair, blue eyes, and pleasant disposition, Bob is a four-letter man with emphasis on basketball. Striving for a get-rich-quick career in sports. Barbara Schuler Because of her unusual abilities in shorthand and typing, Barbara would have made a competent secre- tary, but marriage has proved more tempting to her. A staunch friend and trusty worker, she proceeds patiently and conscientiously in all her undertakings. Her excellent vocabulary may be attributed to a wide range of reading. Ralph Snowberger The Whistler. A versatile individual, Ralph is known as a good tackle and broad-jumper. Even with band and chorus, he's managed to find time to stay in the Honor Society. His trips to Wellesley and Atlantic City to Red Cross conventions are still a topic of conversation. Donald Snyder A former basketball manager, Donald is com- parable to Fred Astaire in his dancing. As an office- runner and projectioneer, he has become Mr. Glas- mire's right-hand man. When a locker-key is missing you can bet he has the master key. Norma Studte Not unlike several of the other senior girls, Norma has also fallen victim to Cupid's arrows, as an engagement ring will show. The idea of marriage is now replacing her old dreams of secretary. Her silence during class is not in evidence around her friends. Joan Turner Joan is one of those fortunate girls with the dark hair and vivid coloring that enable her to wear striking colors. Our Freshman May Queen attendant enjoys basketball and is always ready to be on an intramural team. Fondly thought of for her pleasant disposition and warm smile. Mary Lee Watson A Millwood miss who is qualified to give any contestant in a roller derby stiff competition. Now taking commercial subjects, Mary Lee hopes to work in an office when she finishes school. To drive around the countryside with her fellow conspirators is h e r favorite pastime. Marilynne West Living proof that beauty and brains can mix. Besides being a member of the basketball squad, Honor Society, and A. A. among others, Marilynne has really knocked herself out as editor of this yearbook. Our able and poised senator to Girls' Nation. Force reserve and er, he likes and driving. 1 Edward Wiley and wisdom can be seen back of Ed's reticence. An avid reader and hard work- all sports but f a v o r s skiing, swimming, A moral, sensible, and well-bred boy. Jo Anne Wood Pretty, popular, pursuing--what more can you ask in a girl? Few can imagine this May Court at- tendant in the ranks of the old maid school teachers. Not only does she have enough intelligence to be a charter member of the Honor Society and honest Junior Class treasurer, but she also is witty enough to have served as an excellent Literary editor. Jo Annie is sure to be a success in whatever she does. Janet Lee Worthington She likes her music with a bang. This young lady alternates between the cymbals and bells with equal ease. A jovial chorus member who has a penchant for television parties. Could I but talk and never cease, my heart, I think, would rest in peace. Barbara Wilson She's pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, and pleasant to think on too. The only girl in the Senior Class lucky enough to own her own car, Barbara dresses as if she'd just returned from some Parisian review. She holds the enviable position of being the only girl in the Dance Band. DAR Winner Ruth Ann Beideman Chosen for her Dependability Leadership Service Patriotism ■■ FROM OUR FILE OF ADVERTISING BILLS AND PRESS CLIPPINGS As lowly freshmen in the fall of 1947, our Senior class of 1951 started out on its career of learning. Our earnest, smiling faces could be seen all over the campus of Milford High. As president we unanimously elected Donald Beebe. Remember how proud we were when we gave our Freshman Dance? We netted ap- proximately seven dollars! Promoted to the position of sophomores, we proved that we were responsible and capable salesmen by our sales of stationery and fruitcakes. Bob Gibson was the one to be honored with the office of president. At last our Sophomore Hop! One minute we were in Milford; the next we were walking among beds of multi- colored tulips and smiling at a life-sized Dutch boy and girl with a hugh windmill in the background. Our Junior year teemed with the selling of peanut brittle, sponsoring a movie, and giving a bake. Charles Coverdale proved to be a capable president that year with Miss Heeson and Mr. Rosen as helpful advisers. How proud we were when we received our class rings at the beginning of the year! Then came the night. Our Junior Prom. The underwater scene with shining fish and sea- horses everywhere made it a never-to-be-forgotten event. • And then we were seniors. At the beginning of the year, we elected Harry Humes as our president. One of our biggest undertakings was the publication of the Milfordian. Everyone worked feverishly and at last we made that deadline! Our Senior Play, Class Night, and Class Trip made us realize how very close we were coming to leaving M. H. S. On June 5, as we moved our tassels from left to right, we felt a mingled joy and sadness. As alumni we shall always look back on Milford High with the fondest of thoughts.

Dear Diary, December 28, '60 If my writing seems illegible, it's just because I'm so tired from last-minute Christmas shopping. While I was looking for a pair of rompers to fit Audrey Hunter's youngest, I bumped into Hazel Argo, who was shopping for clothes for her twin boys. Guess I'll never get out of the habit of calling my old classmates by their maiden names. Hazel told me she had received a letter from Diane Deputy, who is still having success in her business ventures. Went into Mike's to get a coke and sat with some of my old cronies who had just come from a teachers' meeting—Shirley Pearson, Ruth Ann Beide- man, Patti Baxter, and JoAnne Wood. While we were talking, Pat Kern, who had just come off duty at the hospital, came in and told us that Jean and Mary Kay Kepler were en route to their newest mission in the Belgian Congo. Wonder if they'll chance across Charlotte Argo and Betty Carey, who are vacationing there. December 25, '60 Woke up with a terrific headache, but outside of that I had a wonderful Christmas. Didn't have anything else to do, so I looked through my cards this afternoon. One of the prettiest had been designed by Nancy Humes with the verse written by Sally Carr. Also had some from the former Joan Turner, Barbara Schuler, Janet Davis, Norma Studte and their families. Have to baste the turkey now so it'll be ready in time for dinner. Have invited Ralph Snowberger, who is chief civil engineer for the state. Am expecting Waples Jester, home on leave, along with Marilynne West and Doris Brown. Can't quite get the connection of the two girls teaming up since Marilynne's a nurse and Doris a mortician. December 26, '60 Attending one of Barbara Wilson's lavish parties last night and saw more of the old gang both in person and on TV. Watched Sandra Deputy give a concert in Carnegie Hall and later saw Joan Hall and Janet Lee Worthington with their ukes on a talent show. Talked with Charles Green, who now owns all of Slaughter Beach. He mentioned that Ed Wiley is expected back tomorrow with his newest truck loaded with kumquats from the Sunshine State. No doubt Ed ran across Donald Snyder and John Mclnerney basking in the Florida Sun. January 1, '61 Got postcards from Donald Black and Howard Harrington, who are touring North America on their motorcycles. They expect to meet in St. Louis at Barbara Chaney's rest home, The Belly Acres, and have a big blowout. Resolved to write more often to Virgil Emory and Bob Glasco who are both fly-boys for the U. S. A. F. January 3, '61 Harry Humes has finally realized his ambition of having the city's largest depart- ment store. Bob Messick is General Manager, Danny Pearson is in charge of the wall paper and paint section, and Walt Pase is chief shoe buyer. Accountant June Lapetina and secretaries Phyllis Dickerson and Barbara Fitzgerald keep the paper work up to date. January 9, '61 This morning’s paper had an excellent account of the herioc part that Carolyn Coffin, Donald Armour, John Clark, and Tony Calvanesa of the class of '51 placed in the recent inter-service maneuvers. Got a beautiful ham from Donald Beebe's butcher shop. Heard it came from one of Marvin Davis's prize pigs. January 17, '61 Tuned in to the late sports casts in time to hear that Irene Davidson and Bob Porter have been among those chosen to represent the U, S.A. in the Olympics. Speaking of sports, saw a movie short on last year's World Series and it seemed ironical that two former classmates, Bob Gibson and Bill Morris, should have played on opposite teams. January 20, '61 Richard Holleger told me that the well-known electrical engineer, Charles Cover- dale, was planning the lighting for his new men's clothing store. While passing Janet Denney on her way to work at Caulk's, I learned that Mary Lee Watson, whose leg was broken in the recent National Roller Derby, is convalescing rapidly under the care of her private nurse, Shirley Ellingsworth. January 24, '61 Saw in Better Abodes and Terraces that Betty Kaiser had won first place in its annual contest. As her prize, the magazine has sent its top interior decorator, Joan Harrison, to completely redecorate Betty's home. January 30, '61 Now that I have either seen or heard from all of the class of '51, there is nothing left to say. Here's hoping they all have continued success in whatever they do. IN RING NUMBER TWO WE HAVE JUNIORS Our first big year! As freshmen we chose Dave Burton to be our ringmaster with Mr. Frank Yon, Miss Reba Eisenbrey, and Miss Thelma Myfelt as our advis- ers. Our first and only sideshow was the Freshmen Dance, featuring Mr. Yon's Dance Band. Bud Kimmel was the lion of the sophomore class, while Miss Foster and Mr. Pyne were our tamers. We got the show underway with class members in every school activity. Later in the spring we took a stroll through the park at the Sopho- more Spring Hop. Another successful act was the stationery sale, despite those complicated order blanks. Now we are in the big top with class rings! Dave Wood has been elected president, Laurence Lapetine vice-president, Arlene Cohee secretary, and Bill Wood treasurer. Miss Horson, and Mr. Rosen have been our capable advisers. We really showed our initiative by producing the first Junior Play. Petti- coat Fever , produced by Mr. Frank Ketler, was a circus of love and laughter. In spite of devoting most of our energy toward the play, we made a fair showing on the magazine sale. Harold Hall, our top salesman, came through for the class with flying colors. Surely the most gala event of class affairs was the Junior- Senior Prom. With everyone working together the auditorium was very attractive; music and dancing were perfect. Row 1: J. Disney, D.

IN THE THIRD RING THERE ARE THE SOPHOMORES As we come to the final acts of the 1950-51 season, we look back at our suc- cessful Sophomore tour on the road. Our master of ceremonies and acting presi- dent has been Jehu Evans. Assisting Jehu in the ring were Vice-President Charles Betts, Secretary Joann Powell, and Treasurer Jack Baynum, under whose leader- ship we have enjoyed many pleasant activities. Although the main attraction of the year was the Sophomore Hop, our class was active in other events such as football, basketball, intramural sports, the Student Council, band, and chorus. We have been helped through the year by our class advisors, Miss Ruth Foster and Mr. Theodore Pyne. With the present season drawing to a close, we are looking forward to a most successful Junior year. -Bob Hitchens Row 1: J. Powell, E. Pearson, K. Isaacs, B. Scheaffer, N. Prettyman, D. Lapetina, J.

PEERING UNDER THE TENT ARE THE RUBES Our freshman class, although only a side show, should not be regarded as entirely unimportant. We have taken our part in the various activities, willingly waiting for next year when, as sophomores, we shall be in one of the three main rings. We hope that our later achievements in this school will be as successful as our dance which was so well attended. The quota of students from Houston, Lincoln, and Ellendale has greatly en- larged the enrollment of our class. Mrs. Florence Williams, Mr. Clifton Deta- more, and Mr. Frank B. Yon have proved themselves very capable class advisors. The class officers are as follows: president, Roy Tawes; vice - president, John Abbott, and secretary-treasurer, June Deisem.

Berwick u ,■ JSSSS9 M? in' The 1950 Football Season Milford High's 1950 football edition, though boasting only a mediocre record, pro- vided its followers with interesting and hard football, not to mention a few aspects quite rare to the gridiron sport. For example, the first three games ended in 0-0, 12-12, and 6-6 ties with Rehoboth, Seaford, and Wicomico respectively. With the aid of his sixty-yard jaunt, Jim Palmer amassed all twelve points in the Seaford encounter. To make the third game a tie, Or- lando Houston, a guard, pulled in a twice-deflected aerial in the end zone for the T.D. The Bucs then jumped over into the win column with two hard-fought victories over Lewes (6-0) and Caesar Rodney (26-0). Palmer picked up the six units in the Lewes fray, while everybody got into the act in the Caesar Rodney game. Palmer again drove for six, Morris, a touchdown plus one of Milford's rarities, a point after touchdown. Bob Porter took a pass from Bud Kimmel to score and Roy Tawes annexed the other seven points. Milford's Bucs had by this time built up the best defensive records in the state. The next game was with the Laurel Bulldogs, captained by one of the state’s best quarter- backs, Ronnie Waller. Although we put up a good fight, we were defeated 51-0. That was a sad night in Milford! Lack of extra points upset Milford in the Georgetown game, although the Bucca- neers were ahead at one time 12-0. The final result--14-12. That past records can be forgotten when Dover and Milford tangle come Thanks- giving Day was proved when favored Dover barely squeezed by in a most thrilling and hotly-contested battle, 14-7. The Senators dominated the first half, commanding at half-time, with a 14-0 lead. However, the Bucs countered in the last two quarters and remained in Blue and White territory most of that time. We managed only one touchdown and extra point, both by Jim Palmer, and Dover held off long enough to subdue the Maroon and Gold. Thus, Milford wound up the season with a 2 wins, 3 losses, 3 ties log. Everyone was satisfied with the good brand of football that was witnessed. Those playing their last year of football included co-captain Danny Pearson at guard, co-captain Gerald Smith at halfback, halfback Bill Morris, fullback Jim Palmer, guard Waples Jester, center Harry Humes, end Tony Calvanesa, tackle Donald Black, quarterback Virgil Emory, tackle Ralph Snowberger, and end Bobby Porter.

For the first time in the history of M. H. S., the girls romped through an undefeated season with an all time high of eight wins and two ties. Scoring thirty-five goals and scored upon only six times, the varsity team, captained by Nan Humes, ruthlessly overpowered each opponent. Start- ing out on the right foot, Milford beat Georgetown for the first time in five years with a score of 4-1. In quick succession they took Laurel 4-0, Harrington 6-0, Dover 2-1, Georgetown 3-0, Lewes 8-0, Rehoboth 4-2, and Harrington 2-0. In two tense games Dover and Seaford held M. H. S. to a 1-1 tie. The final Dover game was the climax of a most successful season. Tension had built up to a crucial point. When Irene Davidson saved the day with the tying goal in the last minute of play, everyone went wild. In recognition of the achievement of an undefeated season, the Athletic Association awarded each varsity team member a gold emblem, an honor previously given only to seniors of three years varsity standing. The Junior-Varsity, captained by a different member each game, was equally successful with seven wins and one tie. The J.-V.'s really deserve credit for their excellent work.
