rrttp t—Aftmuustnitimi Etitrr: GDitr JIrtttripal The office bulletin board is the information bureau for school activities. To it are attached the announcements of the various sports and clubs. Here also, the honor roll is posted every two months; no doubt that is what is holding the attention of this group; or is it a prom announce¬ ment? 77 The Office 77 Principal Frank C. Berry Whatever takes place in school life, be it studies, sports, or social activities, it in¬ variably has its origin in the focal center of the high school, “the office.” “The of¬ fice,” as we have known it, has always been a place where we might find Mr. Berry and Miss Moore ever ready to help and advise. It was at “the office” every Friday morning that Mr. Berry met with the members of the Milford High School Students Association to plan the many successful functions. Even while publish¬ ing this book we many times dropped in to find out various facts which only Miss Moore could give us. “Educational relations make the strongest tie”—so said an ancient prophet, and how heartily do we now agree. Seated at his desk, a scene so familiar to us all, we shall always remember him, the fair disciplinarian, the advising teacher and the helping friend. Following Mr. Berry’s own example we learned to appreciate our teachers for their true merits, and to look to them for direction and cooperation. Although our footsteps did lag some¬ what when we had to visit there because of tardiness, some of the happiest memor¬ ies of our high school days are associated with “the office.” Mr. Berry’s sincere interest in our be¬ half was one of our greatest incentives to utilize the most of our abilities and oppor¬ tunities. Whether scholastic or social, no problem was too trivial for him to give it his undivided attention. His objective was to make our high school course enjoy¬ able as well as instructive, and through him we were made to realize that only the gateway of knowledge leads to real happi¬ ness and success. “A Uinftrr grutlruiuu trrufiu not ttyr rarity.” 21

Caswell Through our long association with Mr. Caswell we have come to regard him not only as an efficient superintendent but also as our true friend. Mr. Caswell be¬ lieves that education should consist not merely in mastering studies, but should al¬ so give a fecundity of thought, and be a means of enabling one to live an interest¬ ing, intelligent and worthwhile life. It has been these views which have added to the pleasure of our high school days.
