The Milfordian 1959 Milford Delaware Dedication The senior class of 1959, in recognition of their spirit and enthusiasm and their service to Milford High School, dedicate the 1959 Milfordian to the Milford High School Band. Through loyal support and untiring effort, the hand has done much to enrich our lives at M.H.S. With music and colorful pageantry, they have helped to increase our school spirit and make our school life a more rewarding ex- perience. Our thanks also go to Mr. Paul Teare, band director and teacher, for giving unselfishly of his time, ability and guidance, and without whose leadership our years of school would have been lacking the rich experiences we have enjoyed. To the members of the band—the musicians, the majorettes, the flagettes, the color guard, and to Mr. Paul Teare go our most sincere gratitude and appreciation and the dedication of the 1959 Milfordian. In Memoriam ELEANOR LOUISE HUEY Our friend and classmate with whom we shared many memorable experiences. I IUI' Administration Board of Education Max Corder, President, George A. Robbins, Vice-President, Crerar Bennett, Chester T. Dickerson, Secretary, and Ernest C. Macklin. C. T. DICKERSON From our days spent in high school we wish to get many things such as skills, knowledges, atti- tudes and the overall ability to live with each other regardless of our differences in opinions. It is sincerely hoped that our Miljordian will preserve graphically many of the school activities which occur during the year so that the members of the Class of 1959 and their friends may in the future look upon them with a feeling of nostalgia as the years go by. I wish to congratulate the class on preserving for the future a recording of a number of our school events. Su perinlendent W. W. HICKMAN Administrative Assistant Sincere congratulations are extended to the Class of 1959 for having reached another milestone on our educational journey. Challenging indeed are the problems and opportunities afforded each of you. Use wisely the knowledge and experience gained during your stay at Milford High to the end that you may better serve your fellow man. Best Wishes! vJ. lAJ- a ' J. E. ATKINSON Principal Some of the fondest memories that adults have in later life are those of their high school days. I am sure that many times in the future you will refer to your copy of the Milfordian and will recall many of the pleasant experiences and ac- tivities that comprised your high school career. I wish to extend congratulations to the Class of 1959 and the Yearbook Staff for the excellence of the 1959 edition of the Milfordian. I am sure that its contents will prove to become more and more pleasurable with the passing years. It is my earnest wish that you all enjoy success and happiness in the coming years and hope that you will look upon your high school achievements with pride and satisfaction. 9 MRS.

PAUL TEARE 10 The classrooms were deserted and all was quiet except for the hammering of the work- men who were redoing the building. Hi, everyone! My name is Orville. One day last summer, I ar- rived at the high school pre- pared for another year of study only to find that I was a few weeks early. I wandered into the cafeteria, hoping to find a midmorning snack, I I I followed them as they continued throu the new home economics department. but I was surprised to find Mr. Atkinson and the new exchange student, Annbjj rg Steinsland. touring the new cafeteria. Finding the rest of the rooms still incom- plete, I decided to go home and return in a few weeks when school would officially open. Mr. lams was giving instructions to his chemistry class . . . 14 The next thing I knew, feet were moving toward the exit. These were the feet of the 1959 graduating class. They were leaving these halls of learning never to return to the days of their adolescence. 1 decided to follow the footsteps, so I left, and after I got out of school, I found it impossible to follow because the footsteps went in every direction; to businesses, to colleges, to the armed forces, to marriage and many other directions, so I just gave up and stayed there because I got lost trying to fol- low in the steps of those seniors. I wish the underclassmen better luck than I had. Good luck, seniors. It’s been wonderful knowing you. 17 MR. ROBERT H. ALD- MRS. NELL BAUSELL, STADT. B.A..

AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE “Walk together, talk together. 0 ye peoples of the earth, then and only then shall ye have peace.” That is the motto of the organization which made it possible for us to have Ann this vear. The American F ield Service began as an ambulance service in World Wars I and II b) helping the wounded from the fields of battle. After the war, the scholarship program was founded because the AFS veterans felt that it would he the most effective means of carrying on the AFS tradition of world understanding and service. The American Field Service got started at MHS last year when Rrita Wider- strom came to our school front Sweden. This year our student. Ann Steinsland. is from another Scandinavian country, this time Norway. From her we have learned much about Norway and more important, we have learned that people all over the world are the same and their goal, like ours, is a peaceful and useful life. Ann and her American family, the Friedmans, enjoy a quiet evening at home. A Personal Message From Ann Busy at work in Sociology. Ann takes a few notes. - ■ and if there’s anything I can do for you, just ask me.” Remember? This is what you told me when I started school, and many, many times I took advantage of it. You, the students, helped me when I was completely lost in the corridors, not knowing where I was, nor where I was supposed to be and the teachers helped me when I was “glued” to the dictionary, without the slightest idea what this subject was all about. This is one of the many things I’ll never forget about Milford High, the friendliness, kindness, and considera- tion you all showed me. I I am so glad that I became an AFS’er. and I consider myself a very lucky girl to come to Milford High. AAA. j MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED—Greta Friedman, Jerry Hearn.

Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service— these are the four cardinal principles of the National Honor Society and the basis on which its members are chosen. Each year there is an induction ceremony at which time the most deserving students of junior and senior classes are selected for membership in the society. Any student so honored is entitled to wear the emblem of the organization, a keystone bearing a flaming torch. This year, the society gave a S500 scholarship to one of its senior members for service to the school. The money for this scholarship wras raised by the members through the sale of advertisements for football pro- grams and the sale of the programs themselves and by sponsoring several dances throughout the year.

Library Helpers Serve School The Library Club is composed of students who find satisfaction in the services they render their school library and their fellow students. The student who works in the library is there because he, or she, elected to be there. They are valuable assistants and ambassadors of good will. The work-experi- ence opportunities which the library offers and the challenge which it extends to young people are recognized by all. These oppor- tunities help the students broaden their per- sonal experiences, help them become more adept in the use of books and libraries, help them explore possible vocation interests, help improve the library service to the school community, and also provide opportunities for democratic participation.

Keeps Athletics Going Athletics are an important part of life at Milford High; therefore, it is necessary to have an organization for the purpose of keeping athletics going. This is the aim of the Athletic Association under the guidance of Coach Briggs. The members, consisting of one sophomore, two juniors, and two seniors, are appointed by the president of the Student Council and serve a term of one year. Buying new equipment, reconditioning the old, providing transportation to and from games, paying officials, buying first aid supplies, and keeping the athletic field in good condition are among the duties of this group. A new branch of this organization is the Service Club. Members of this club sell tickets at football and basketball games, run the concession stand at football games, and direct traffic at various athletic functions.

This year’s officers are: President, Davis Shockley; Vice-President, Bob Walls: Secretary, Henry Kuratle; Treasurer, Raymond Marvel; Sentinel, Howard Young; and Reporter, Richard Green. Future farmers learn about soils from their teacher, Mr. Edsall. Ag students get practical shop training under the supervision of Mr. Davidson. F.T.A. Prepares Future Teachers The Future Teachers of America Club of Milford High School which is a part of the National Education Association has a specific function, helping students to decide upon their future as a teacher. The students re- ceive much valuable information by substi- tuting in the elementary and junior high school classrooms. This club meets every Monday under the guidance of Mrs. Grace Montgomery. The meetings are presided over by President, Sandra Fitzgerald: Vice-President, Greta Friedman; Secretary-Treasurer, Carole Jean Strahle. Each meeting is begun by repeating the Future Teachers pledge which is a solemn prayer to keep oneself physically, mentally, and morally fit and to possess all the charac- teristics of a person worthy of the high office of teacher. The main project of F.T.A. was sponsoring “Peanut Week” in which each person re- ceived a peanut with the name of the person to whom they should secretly be especially kind during that week. The week was fin- ished off with a Peanut Sock Hop at which time the “peanuts” were revealed. This proved to be a most interesting week. Sandra Fitzgerald and Greta Friedman are busy instructing a first grade class. The purpose of the fundraising projects of F.T.A. was that of presenting a scholarship to the most worthy future teacher and to help finance the trips to the Uni- versity of Delaware for the Annual Conference.

Senior Chorus Promotes Musical Appreciation Last September the Senior High School Chorus started with twenty members and within a month they had grown to almost eighty voices. This year, under the direction of Mr. William Miller, the chorus sang at various assemblies, and P.T.A. meetings, presented a Christmas program, and a Spring Concert, and also participated in the baccalaureate service and commencement ex- ercises at the close of school. Besides the main choral group, this year we had two smaller groups, the Boys’ Quartet and the Girls’ Octet. These groups also sang for the P.T.A. assemblies and the Quartet sang for the Rotary Club last fall. These three groups did much to promote musical appreciation in our school lives this year. The following are the chorus members this year: ROW ONE: B. Sennett, S. Jewell, B. Walls, J. Twigg, F. Doughty, K. Roberts, S. Nauman, B. Staats. ROW TWO: N. McFadden. S. Mills, M. Hoyer, B.

Band Exhibits Talent at Many Functions From the first autumn football game until June graduation, the band, under the direction of Mr. Paul Teare was kept busy with its many activities. Looking back over the past year we remember some of these activities such as the Spring Concert, the colorful half-time shows at football games, and the various parades in which they participated in Milford and neighboring towns. These parades included the annual Firemen’s parade, Halloween parade, Memorial Day parade, and the Delmarva Chicken Festival parade that was held last summer in Denton, Maryland, and in which our band placed third being the only Delaware band to receive an award. In addition to the marching band of 62 members, and the concert band of 55 members, we also have a dance band which plays at school dances as well as dances in neighboring towns. The Band Boosters, an organization made up of the parents of band members, assisted the band financially. Each year the Boosters raise money by holding an annual dinner and bazaar.

This organization along with its officers, Brice Corder, President: Rachel Grier, Vice-President; John Burris, Secre- tary; and Jackie Pendleton, Treasurer: work together to learn democracy and to bring the ideas of the homerooms before the group and the ideas of the group before the homerooms. Throughout the vear thev have sponsored several dances which were planned by their Dance Committee, bought uniforms for the Junior High basketball team, sponsored the hall patrol, posted safety signs, entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, and stimulated interest in scholarship by presenting awards to the top three students in each of the Junior High grades.

Milford Eleven Display Lively Spirit Practice began early in September, and immediately Coach Paciaroni proved he wanted a winning season. The team worked very hard during what seemed to be the hottest weather Milford has seen. Mr. Paciaroni had to prepare an almost entirely new starting eleven, because many of last year’s players were lost through graduation. With the season’s opening, the eleven displayed a brand of football not seen in Milford in the past four years. Many combinations were tried, but mainly lack of experience accounted for the losses suffered by the Bucs. The team did manage to tie a strong St. James eleven, and soundly defeated Middletown and Cambridge. Ceasar Rodney proved to be very tough on Thanksgiving Day, rolling to a 20-0 lead in the second half over a rallied Milford team. We’re all looking forward to next year, because many of our starters will be returning with the needed experience and spirit.

Wrestling Team Takes Second Place in State Meet The wrestling team this year had the most successful season of all the varsity sports. Through the excellent coaching of Mr. Gocella. the grapplers battled their way to a 7-2 record. The grapplers were faced with stiff competition all season which made the team all the more willing to sacrifice more time and hard work to come out on top. The state meet was especially interesting with five of our boys placing second in the final matches with schools from all over the state. With many of the boys returning, next year looks to be an even more promising year.

Hoopsters Sink Shots Milford’s Bucs began their season with a vigorous practice on November 29, in preparation for the struggles that lay ahead. Hit hard by last year’s graduation, only a very few boys returned this year. However, under the leadership of their coach, Mr. Holstein, the team displayed definite improvement throughout the season. Led by a promising junior, Glenn Hitchens, the Bucs provided many thrillers: some games were lost by a narrow margin of four points. A real battle gave us our third victory over Seaford in nineteen years, a real credit to the team. Laurel was trounced twice, a feat we haven’t accomplished in a many a season. Next year looks to be quite promising, because three of this year’s starters will return. The J.V. also displayed a very good brand of basketball. While starting the season slowly, the little Bucs soon proved their ability, and ended their season quite successfully.
