ANGELS Mr. H. Mayhew, Dr. R. Cobbs, Mr. J. Roosa, Mrs. H. Phillips, Mr. W. Kimmel. The Milford Board of Education extends congratulations to the members of the 1952 graduating class. The policy of the Mil- ford Board of Education is to provide the greatest possible educational opportunity to all of the boys and girls of the Milford Special School District. We are, indeed, proud that you have availed yourselves of these educational advantages, and wish you continued success in your many endeavors. 6 PRODUCERS The menhers of the 1952 graduating class of the Milford High School have succeeded thus far in their quest for knowledge and social adjustment. Their education never ends, however, for life is but a continuum of growth and learning. We urge our graduates to continue their education in institutions of higher learning. They are as jewels just beginning to show the effects of high polish. My congratulations and sincere best wishes go with you always. Dr. Ramon C. Cobbs Superintendent of Schools We want to extend our con- gratulations to the class of 1952 for the splendid yearbook they have produced. Page by page we can find the evidence of careful planning and literary excellence. It is a fitting tradition to have each class summarize for the future a volume containing the activities of the school during the last year the class spends in its Alma Mater. After high school each stu- dent will find his place in the life of some community. This change usually scatters the class among educational institutions and businesses of our nation. We trust that each will succeed in his chosen field of work. Best wishes to one and all. 7 M. A.

As student director we chose Dave Burton, assisted by Bud Kimrnel, Joyce Argo and Bob Leithiser. Our outstanding performance as stage hands was the Freshman Christmas Dance. We effectively changed the drab auditorium into a Christmas fairyland, with sparkling Christmas trees, jolly Sant Clauses, and the ringing music of Mr. Yon’s Dance Band. Act II Next, we moved into the responsible position of property managers. Bud Kimrnel, having served as understudy in our Freshman year, was given the juvenile lead, supported by Frank Pettyjohn, Joyce Argo, and Amelia Fink. To keep our class rolling we immediately got underway with a big stationery sale which greatly added to the class balance of thirty- two cents ($.32) netted by the Freshman Dance. Spring was busting out all over” on the eve of our sophomore Hop. Balmy air, gay flowers and couples strolling through the park announced that spring was here to stay. Act III As understudies we needed capable directors to lead us through the heavily crowded days ahead. For this act we chose Davis Wood as supporting man, with Laurence Lapetina, Arlene Cohee, and Bill Wood helping him. One of the most exciting highlights of our production was the coming of our class rings. For days all the Juniors walked around with their hands stuck out saying, Look at our rings! As our class liked to set precedents, we produced the first Junior play to be given in Milford High School. The smash hit, petticoat Fever, brought us our first financial success. At last the time had come for the Juniors to give the annual Prom for the Seniors. Choosing the Mardi Gras as the theme, everyone worked hard decorating the gym with balloons and other decorations depicting the streets of New Orleans during the Mardi Gras. The nights spent in preparing the gym for the gala affair were just as enjoyable as the big night itself. Act IV Finally the cue was given for the last act of our play and as leading man we elected Bill Wood. As his supporting cast we chose pay Lane, Eleanor Bennett, and Joyce Ingram. The annual event of the Senior Bazaar afforded a good time for everyone. Gaily decorated booths set up in the cafeteria provided a means of entertainment for our guests. After the gomes were over, the stars of the show presented a short skit based on the 1920's. Inasmuch as we had already had experience in presenting a play we swung into our Senior play with eese and zest. The play was well attended and the critics pronounced it a success. At this point we put the show on the road. Leaving Milford High School by bus, we traveled to the city of lights , New York. Here we enjoyed a delightful week-end acting as experienced stars. Last, but not least, were the unforgettable events of class night and Commencement. The receiving of our diplomas completed a successful four-year run on Broadway. .. i S K M 1 i swi'l?WV4 f cTfy l TUO flgMFhJFR � 4 � GLIMPSES OF THE STARS AH F'f J. 2« u k t; tk ‘3 : • r i ? v Sul. iumv C- H5 f Oft J ft , Tune | ?v«n I 'r, UiJe ■■ mrspM h?Sk LdAf ZouJJJ — js � n —« 9 SCHOOL V r SLDWLY K ' y f CAPSULE MEMORIES OF OUR GAY THEATER FRIENDS OFFSTAGE Name Abbott, F.

Crooner Melvin James is knocking all the bobby-soxers dead with his hit tunes from the musical The Dream of Old Drum. The superb dancing of Shirley Passwaters in this production has brought her many tempting offers from the leading motion picture companies, but she has not yet abandoned the show. The breath-taking scenery for this production was designed by those noted artists, Bob Layton and Mary Ann Mullins. Sylvia Carroll, recently returned from Paris, where she studied dress designing, de- serves high praise for the superb costume designing. The score for this musical was written by the famous composer Harold Hall. (Exclusive) The current hit of the season, Men on the Moon, backed by those notorious millionaire playboys—0. Houston, R. Lane, and E. Truitt—is to be adapted for television. The technical advisors for this project are Bill Wood, Bill Brown, Eddie Cannon, and Harry Swain. In this play we have Admiral Clayton Emory and General Frank S. Pettyjohn, brilliant military strategists who have just returned from the current crisis to be awarded the Korean Krud Kross. Their newest mission is to take the emmient bacteriologist Dr. William D. Kimmel and his private secretary Anne Bennett to the moon to search for a new source of uranium. The play opens with the hairbreadth take-off of their rocket ship. On earth Ace newsman Joe Cook is televising their flight, landing, and adventures to an anxiously waiting world. Be sure to see this rollicking comedy at the theater. The ticket sellers for Teacher’s Little Headaches. Burk Jones and William Williams, are really busy. This play is concerned with the an- tics of Jean Disney and Frances Ann Abbott, who are still trying to get out of school. Amelia Fink and Bettymae Snowberger, now coaching at Milford High School, have replaced Coach Wharton, who is now living a quiet married life. These coaches give up in despair as they come face to face with with the Terrible Two. Elementary teacher Loretta Baker and Home Economics teacher Barbara Heath lend a helping hand. I attended this farce last night and mingled with the cream of society--the form- er Misses Marie Coverdale, Dolores Bostick, Doris Clayville, and Bar- bara Herrington. I interviewed three rugged marines—First Lt. Terry Fleming, Master Sergeant Leonard Greenly, and Captain Donald Sacker— who are home from the wars. During intermission I talked with House Detective Donald Snvder of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. From him I learned that those old comedians Frank Lyles and Daniel Roe are living a restful life on a South Sea island surrounded by beautiful women. First chance I get, I think I shall join them. The public re- action to this play is typified by noted critic Rosalie Bunting's com- ment, I'm still laughing. Another Broadway hit that should be attended by all is Assassina- tion at the Castoria. A tragedy in three acts, this play has quite a lot of action. Davis Chris-craft Wood, millionaire shipbuilder, is murdered in the lobby of the Waldorf Castoria. Dolores Davenport, ho- tel receptionist, has become involved as a suspect. Upon hearing the news, she immediately wires that noted lawyer, David Burton, to defend her. During the process of discovering the murderer, Lawyer Burton man- ages to sell his client a Chevrolet which she wrecks in an attempt to escape. The startling outcome of this play can be currently seen at Loew's Gaiety Theater. 34 IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS Gerald Smith has just been voted the most valuable player in the National League. The victims of Handsome Harvey the Horrible Kimmey, new wrest- ling sensation, are being treated by the top man in spinal surgery, Dr. Laurence Lapetina. This was announced today by Arlene Cohee, Dr. Lape- tina's receptionist. Those unfortunate souls are under the care of nurses Frances Black, Pearl Wisseman, Joyce Argo, Faye Coffin, and June Reed. AROUND TOWN AND IN THE SUBURBS Ann Fitzgerald, Vice-President of International Playtex, has just sent field experts—Harold Bunting, A1 Calvanesa, Ernie Fry, Bruce Ma- loney, Earl Rambo, and Harry Sapp—into deep, darkest, dankest Africa to establish an independent rubber plantation. Joyce Ingram, prominent socialite, at this moment is riding out a tropical storm on her yacht the Joy in the Gulf of Mexico. Accompany- ing her are Margarite Welsh, Dot Kosci, and Marian Mills. Jane Greene, child Welfare Worker, has announced that an old class- mate of mine, Martha Wilson, has applied for adoption papers for a blue- eved girl. Eleanor Bennett is living on her ultra-modern chicken farm. Accord- ing to this reporter's calculations the slickest chick on Hen Ranch is Eleanor. Roberta Kennedy's troupe of girl jet fliers is barnstorming the country. The members of the class of '52 have surely hitched a wagon to their stars. 35 7 DOWN THE LADDER OF SUCCESS 'T3 3 -i cLna- yest A. 7a a. y o£ e - ■AS) - J 2S - ny 7 Br, £ eO' 7 7 Jfcy e' £ 7 -ey 36 9 7 n )a,r es Do i 'T e.7 e, F rcL nc s V Cr.

Standing: Mrs. Clendaniel, Miss Smith Seated: Mrs. Dyer Among the most valuable members of our production staff are our script girls. Acting as time-keepers, money changers, and recorders, they give unselfishly of their time and talents. A recent graduate in the commercial field from our high school, Mrs. Clendaniel is a very competent financial secretary handling all the business of the classes and an able assistant to our elementary principal, Mr. Nichols. Mrs. Dyer, Mr. Glasmire's secretary, keeps things running smoothly on the second floor. No matter what we may need—late permits, absentee slips, or informa- tion—she is always ready with a smile to lend a helping hand. On the ground floor of our building Miss Smith plays well her part as right-hand assistant to Dr. Cobbs, our superintendent. 47 SNACK BAR LADIES Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Cannon, Mrs. Houston, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Ro- gers, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Steele, Mrs. Prettyman, Mrs. Sum- mers, Mrs. Clements.

The 1951 hockey season was another record year for the hockey team. For the second consecutive yeir the M.H.S. hockey girls have come through with an undeafted season. Captained by Amelia Fink, the team scored twenty-nine goals and had only four goals scored against them. The girls won five games and tied three—two with Dover and one with Reho- both. The season ended with a 3-0 trouncing of the faculty. For their successful season the girls will receive gold hockey emblems. In addition to this award, four members of the Sen- ior Class—Jean Disney, Amelia Fink, Bettymae Snowberger, and Pearl Wisseman—will receive a gold hockey ball, for playing three years of varsity hockey. 53 GIRLS' JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL L-R Miss Weest—Coach, A.
