PRESENTING The bombardment of Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Caro- lina, marked the start of the Civil War—a fitting beginning for the 1961 Milfordian. I DEDICATION The parents of 1861 were faced with the problem of seeing their children mature in a land torn by civil war. How great must have been their grief that their sons should first experience the independence of manhood on the battlefield. How deep must have been their sorrow that their daughters should know so prematurely the loneliness of widowhood. Yet they had the courage and faith to see a land divided by slavery made whole and families separated by the scourge of war reunited. Parents often are wounded more deeply by the tragedies that strike their children than are the children themselves. For they have given their all to their children—love, moral values, inspiration, and faith. The two lives are intimately related in beautiful empathy. You, the parents of 1961, are faced with the problem of seeing your children mature in a world divided by the slavery of ideologies which separate the mighty family of man. But you have given us enough of your vision, faith in the past, and deep sense of purpose to enable us to believe in a better world. We are proud to have you as a constant guide and source of strength; for these reasons and many more beyond our poor means of expression, we humbly dedicate the 1961 Milfordian to you, our parents. MEMORANDUM No more appropriate theme could have been selected for the 1961 Milfordian than the Civil War. For this year marks the centennial of that mighty conflict. The Civil War is as traditional to Americans as yearbooks are to high schools; thus permitting us to intermingle the dignity and pomp of the one with the long establishment of the other. After a hundred years of mitigation, this book may appear to pre- sent the war in a fairly light vein. However, we should never forget that despite all romantic tales war is terrible, bloody, and a robber of life, countries, and dreams. When at last reason has returned, war leaves in its wake a uniting hatred that causes conqueror and con- quered to become one in their desire to prevent the repetition of such calamities. It was with a vision of this that Lincoln said at Gettysburg, . . We here highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain,- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. This is a noble heritage worthy of noble thought; if these pages help you to understand the Civil War more fully, then you and the 1961 Milfordian shall be greatly enriched. Sincerely, JP. LOCAL CIVIL WAR HERO Alfred T. A. Torbert was born in Georgetown, but resided in Mil- ford for much of his life. During the war, he participated in the Peninsular Campaign and in Aug- ust, 1862, became commander of a brigade of the Sixth Corps. He had led the Sixth Corps during the campaigns of northern Virginia and Maryland, taking part in the second battle of Bull Run and the battles of South Mountain and Antietam. He was commissioned brigadier gen- eral of volunteers in 1862 and earned the rank of major in the regular army because of his valor at Gettysburg. In April, 1864, he was placed in command of the First Division of the Army of the Po- tomac. In 1865 he was promoted to the rank of major general of the regular army at the age of 32. In 1866 he married Miss Mary E. Currey, the daughter of Daniel Currey, the proprietor of Starr Tav- ern. Subsequently he moved to Milford and lived in the large gray home on North Walnut Street, now known as the Mulholland Apart- ments. He was a great favorite among the townspeople and gained considerable prominence in the Republican Party. It was this party affiliation that awarded him the American consulship to Havana and Paris. In 1880 he died in a shipwreck off Cape Canaveral, Florida. His Alfred Clio mas Archimedes 1 orhert (1833-1880) body was taken to New York City where thousands paid their re- spects to Major General Alfred T. A. Torbert—Milford's hero in the War between the States.

FOREIGN Uta found basketball a strange American activity, but she success- fully made the adjustment and wound up with a spot on the J. V. Squad. T aulein lla J anna C abnel In Austria our schools are only academic, so we have no dances or activities like here. American schools de- velop the entire personality. I was most impressed by the friendliness and the idealism of the American peo- ple—the way people work voluntarily for a service club or another worthwhile organization. During the Civil War many foreigners came to America to ob- serve and participate in the con- flict. Today many foreigners come to the United States for a differ- ent cause—to observe and partici- pate in our way of life and thus prevent the scourge of war. This is the fourth year Milford has taken part in the American Field Service Exchange Student Pro- gram. Ufa and her host family, the Garrett Griers. From left to right: Linda, Mr. Grier, Uta, Gary, Mrs. Grier, and Rachel. The schools here have a more broadened program than in Argentina—sports and activities as well as formal education. I was most impressed by the infor- mality and the religious freedom of the American peo- ple. Under this exchange Milford has entertained students from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and this year Uta Gabriel from Austria and Ra6l Ferreira from Argentina. The presence of these students in Milford High School has greatly broadened our outlook and in- creased our international under- standing—a must for world peace.

With the fine school spirit behind them, the boys pushed on to bring their average score to more than 21 points while the average score of the opponents was held below 9 points. The Bucs had two representatives on the All-State team. Larry Sharp made All-State end on the first team and Jim Smack made All-State fullback on the third team. Congratulations are extended to the boys and the coaches for compiling the best record in more than a dec- ade of AA.H.S. history. M.H.S. COACHES-R. Shevock, L. Gocella, and W. Holstein. Benny Orkin, a long time faithful sup- porter of the Bucs, is shown here at his familiar post as keeper of the down marker. Benny is almost a permanent fixture at all football events at Milford High. He can be seen at practice and serving as linesman at all of the games, both varsity and J.V., at home and away. The color of a M.H.S. football game is not quite complete without Benny's smiling face, cheering the team on to action. Milford's co-captains run stride for stride for another T.D.

This gave the team the needed enthusiasm and spirit. Bowing only to Laurel, the team proved worthy opposition for any team they met. Highlights of the season in- cluded the comical faculty game which ended with a 0-0 tie (favor the varsity). Also the second annual Varsity-Varsity game took place with the football team. It is rumored that the boys won 2-1 by brute force and not by skills of the game. The winning season is accredited to the inspiring coaching from Mrs. Manlove and Miss Shaw.

V. veterans from last year, there were many eighth and ninth graders who made up the team. These newcomers added to the enthusiasm of the team and helped bring them many victories.

Among the many activities of the Varsity Cheerleaders, was the pre- sentation of rabbits' feet to the football team, before the Thanksgiving Day game as good luck charms.

VARSITY BASKETBALL This year the Buccaneers plundered the teams on the Delmarva Peninsula and stole 14 victories out of 18 raids. The prize booty was an 11-1 conference record which gave the Bucs first place in the Diamond State Conference. The starting crew were seniors Kemp, Sharp, Fisher, Kenton and Kerr. The fast break perfected by Sharp and Fisher enabled the Bucs to sail safely through the most perilous straits. Kenton and Kerr were on deck as high rebounders. Kemp cached a treasure of over 326 points in the scorebook as high scorer of the conference. Kemp and Fisher hoisted the Buc- caneer banner over two spots on the All-Kent County Team. As navigator, Coach Holstein kept the rovers of the high courts on a steady victorious course, which brought Milford a glorious '61 season.

SKIPPER JONES-State Champ The Milford Grapplers set two records during their outstanding '61 season; the Grapplers were the first Delaware team to ever defeat St. Andrew's wrestling team and this was Milford's first undefeated season. With their excellent 8-0-1 record the boys easily cap- tured first place in the conference. Two team members. Skipper Jones and J. C. Dob- son, won honors in the state match. Skipper won the state championship for the second time, and J. C. won second place. The boys are under the fine coaching of Larry Gocella, who has played a primary role in making wrestling a major sport at M.H.S.

The Varsity team ended its season with a 10-2 record, the best in recent years. The combined efforts and teamwork of the forwards and guards accounted for the high-scored games. The team's high game this year was their 63-24 victory over Middletown. The guards tallied a total of 195 rebounds to boost the winning season. The J.V. also completed its season successfully with 9-2 record. Losing only to Seaford, the J.V. defeated all of their other opponents. Their high game of the season was their last game, against Laurel, scoring 62 points to Laurel's 48. The hard practices under the fine coaching of Mrs. Manlove and Miss Shaw gave the girls the experience and confidence needed.

Today our schools recognize the great expanse of human character as they strive to develop not only our minds through learning, but our personalities through extra- curricular activities. 1961 MILFOR CO-EDITORS: Sharon Hilt and Sally Milbury Sponsor: MR. OSBORNE The staff that assembled in September was inexperienced and uncertain. However, six months of typographical errors, shortage of copy sheets, extended deadlines, and frantic waiting for pic- tures, the staff has come to learn that endless work and worry make a yearbook. Special recognition must be given to the co- editors, Sharon Hilt and Sally Milbury, the typists, F. Doughty, D. Steele, and G. Ennis, the business managers, K. Isaacs and S. Metz, the sports edi- tors, M. Welch and L. Taylor, and the sponsor, Mr. Osborne, for their tireless efforts in creating the 1961 Milfordian.

During it's sixteenth year of service to the school, the Senior High Student Council has strived to carry out the aims and objectives for which it stands: to promote harmonious relations between teachers and the students themselves; to develop an appreciation of democracy in the student body; to promote greater student participation; to stimulate scholarship, and to become an influence in the betterment of the school. The Student Council sponsored spectator busses to the 'away' football games and had several pep rallies and dances. The Homecoming Dance, and the In- vitational Wrestling Meet were two other successes of the Student Council. The A. F. S. drive was headed and promoted by the council.

This year the club's agenda included many field trips and varied activities. In January the boys went to the Farm Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The dairy team: Kenny Wilkins, Francis Webb, and Ronnie Robbins, went to Waterloo, Iowa, to represent Delaware in the National F.F.A. Dairy Judging Contest. William Argo, Richard Jester, and Howard Webb went to Kansas City, Missouri, as Delaware's representatives in the National F.F.A. Meat Judging Contest. The Milford boys placed first in the seeds and hay, dairy and milk, and meat judging divisions of the state judging contest. The club greatly enjoys its bowling team—its main recreational activity. The Future Farmers of America is a most worthwhile organization and the Mil- ford Chapter is one of the most outstanding in the state.

Then came the bitter harvest of arid souls—then came division, hate, and war, and Lincoln's seed began to grow. Its roots of love and patient un- derstanding stretched deep into the folds of his limitless soul. He became an oasis in the desert of man's parched dreams and hopes. Even in death his seed still grew; for true greatness never ceases. TRIBUTES The Editors of the 1961 Milfordian would gratefully like to ac- knowledge the efforts of: Mr. Frank J. Osborne who did most of the photographic work. Mr. Manual Kean who supplied the divider pages. The Sinclair Oil Company for reproductions of their Civil War series. The fine staff who worked through snow, sleet, and dead- line to present this yearbook to you, the Class of 1961. 139 The surrender at Appomattox marked the end of the Civil War—a fitting ending for the 1961 Milfordian.
