Dr. Ramon C. Cobbs Superintendent Education of the masses is the key to individual freedom. We can expect to re- main a free nation just as long as we in this country show increased numbers in our high school graduating classes. The graduating class of 1954 is the largest class ever to graduate from Milford High School. These young people are to be congratulated on their accomplishments to date. It gives me great pleasure to wish them every success in their future pursuits and to lend a word of encouragement that may stimulate them to continue and complete their education before accepting their responsibilities as citizens of these United States---Dr. R. C. Cobbs. Mr. M. Alexander Glasmire Principal To the members of the Class of 1954 and to the yearbook staff who cooperated in producing this book, we extend our sincere congratulations on completing a very fine piece of literature. As our graduates leave school, we trust that the members of the Class of 1954 will view their experiences in Milford High School with satisfaction as the years roll past. Your Alma Mater is always interested in the accomplishments of its graduates. We will follow your progress with a great deal of interest. We hope you will help us to follow your joys and your sorrows. Our very best wishes attend you wher- ever you go.---Mr. M. A. Glasmire. 9

These four mem- bers are residents of the school district and are elected by the qualified citizens and taxpayers of the district. The Superintendent of Schools, who meets with the Board, also acts as the secretary. Dr. Cobbs, the present secretary and Superintendent of Schools, came to Milford in 1948. Mr. Roosa, the president, is a graduate mechanical engineer employed at the former John H. Mulholland Company. Mr. Kim- mel, a graduate chemist, is associated with L. D. Caulk Company. Mrs. Phillips, the vice-president, is a homemaker vitally interested in education and public affairs. Mr. Mayhew, a prominent businessman, owns a fuel and ice concern in Milfprd. The Board of Education is invested with the general administration and supervision of the schools. It determines the educational policies, pre- scribes rules and regulations for the conduct and management of the schools, enforces attendance laws, adopts courses of study, has authority over the disbursement of funds, and selects the administrators, faculty, and all other employees. Believing firmly that better education will in turn lead to better citizens of the future, the members of the Board of Education endeavor to provide the students of the Milford Public Schools with a curriculum that will pre- pare each student for the life he chooses, with an administration and a faculty that will carry out the curriculum effectively, and with surroundings that will make the student's school life a happy one.----Nancy Phillips. 8
