Alfred Cassinelli, President of the Class of 1941. 14 REVIEWING THE DAYS OF YESTERYEAR BY OLGA SANCHIONI and ISABELLE COPPER “Now time has fled—the world is strange Something there is of pain, and change My books are closed upon my shelf I miss the old heart in myself.” Like a thinly vanishing shadow, Time has in its own mysterious way, slipped through our busy fingers; forever leaving the remnants of happy and pleasant days, and lifelong friendships with our class¬ mates and teachers. We have trod many a rough path, and we have grown steadily in physical, intel¬ lectual, and moral prestige since that un- forgetable day, September 14, 1937, when the doors of Milford High School were opened to welcome the Class of ’41. No doubt, our greatest impression was the spaciousness of the building; and our dearest memory was the welcoming speech given by our principal, Frank C. Berry. Immediately, we determined to make our presence known. Although we were unable to really associate with the upper¬ classmen because we had our school hours during the afternoon, and they had theirs during the morning, we nevertheless were responsible on a large scale for the success¬ ful Friday nite socials. We’ll never forget our first social. Even with the humilating name of “Freshie” ringing in our ears we managed to have a wonderful time, since the name did signify our importance, the importance of 240 raring-to-go freshmen. Feeling quite proud and honored that we were to have class officers, we elected Alfred Cassinelli as President, Catherine Baci, as vice-president, Fred Jones as Treasurer, and Olga Sanchioni as Secre¬ tary. The Student Association brightened our lives with many entertaining and edu¬ cational features. We again felt honored with Mary Curran, Alfred Pantano, and Helen Duggan representing our class on this committee. Under the supervision of Mr. Benja¬ min Consoletti, the Freshman Science Club was reorganized, and we were present at many various and interesting demonstra¬ tions and observation tours. We were so busy with our duties as freshmen that we never noticed Time creeping upon us ending our first year as high school students. We started our second year with a bang! With an increase in social activi¬ ties, and an increase in homework. One of the many benefits of being Sophies was the fact that we now attended morning ses¬ sions and were in that way able to associ¬ ate with the upper classmen. One of the main attractions of this year was the for¬ mation of the Commercial Club under the supervision of Miss Eva Burns, of the fac¬ ulty. This club was organized for the benefit of business students, who were en¬ tertained during the year with socials and educational features. Again we were rep¬ resented by Olga Sanchioni and Marjorie Carbone who acted as members of the Social committee. We began our Junior year with the same officers who ably acted for us during our sophomore year, with the exception of the office of treasurer, which was now filled by David Moriarty. Time again had drawn its veil of mystery over the former years, but we stepped happily along to that year when clubs flourished, and committees bloomed: Our Junior Year. Again the class showed marvelous foresight in electing as our ring commit¬ tee a group of students who selected our class rings with such good taste that it has been decided that our ring be proclaimed standard. Miss Sadie O’Connell reorganized the David Garrick Club and we shall always remember the trip we made to attend a per¬ formance of Hamlet which was given by the Clark University under the direction of Professor Ellingworth. The performance was of additional interest to us since Mr. Ellingworth had previously given us an il¬ lustrated talk at our high school. 15 Then came the days of all days—The Junior Prom. Stepping along in a fan¬ tastic wonderland, the dantily attired girls, and their beaming escorts tripped the light fantastic. Many thanks and con¬ gratulations should be given to Mr. Met¬ calf and his efficient staff composed of the following: Anthony lacovelli, Catherine Baci, Olga Sanchioni, Isabelle Copper, Lawrence Volpe, John Manuel, Emmelina Piscia, Rose Filosa, John Carchio, Alfred Cassinelli, and John Greene. They cer¬ tainly made our prom the very best ever. As usual Mr. Metcalf’s Science Club was able to present a very clever exhibition. They were also able to take in the sights of New York escorted by Mr. Metcalf. Need¬ less to say, only boys were eligible. At last the golden year arrived. Be¬ hind us lay the freshman’s humiliations, the sophomore’s tribulations, and the memorable junior year. All our past ac¬ tions had only led the way to our happy and yet sad senior year. When Mr. Berry announced names of the students who were to be representa¬ tives on the Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee, a dark shadow seemed to cast down upon us, saying, “Your happy days of school life are now ending.” But nevertheless we set forth to make our book the best yet. We realized that we were leaving behind us all the joys and triumphs that we had encountered; but they would never be for¬ gotten, for we were storing them away in our book of memories. To Alfred Cassinelli again went the honor of being elected class president, with Catherine Baci as vice-president. Rose Filosa and David Moriarty were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. To help defray the cost of graduation, a Literary Club was formed, out of which six room treasurers were chosen to record all our pennies that we had saved over the week-end. As a result we were able to de¬ fray the many expenses of graduation. We were indeed proud of our digni¬ fied positions as seniors but when the Mil¬ ford - Framingham football game on November 11 glared at us from under¬ neath the calendar, we cast aside all dig¬ nity and once more rushed down to the train, which was to carry us to the Fram¬ ingham field. Even though we met with defeat, we carried home with us the sports¬ manship and joys of our holiday spirits. Assemblies, assemblies. First came the announcement of the Swift Oratorical Contest and we set to work with pens, busily writing on some phase of the Consti¬ tution. The winners of this contest were Alfred Cassinelli and Olga Sanchioni. Then came the Elks Essay Contest, and we stayed up all hours of the night scribbling to meet the deadline. From a large assort¬ ment of essays Miss Arlene Reynolds was was declared the winner. Oh! but the life of an essayist is a weary one and a brain- racked one. With essays and never-end¬ ing home work, our life was certainly a busy one. We indeed were proud when Alexandria Satkiewicz was named valedic¬ torian, and Josephine Cardani as saluta- torian. Robert Lynch was awarded third honors. At last Senior Week was upon us and our restrained pleasure immediately flared forth. Our committee had planned some gala and mirthful activities for us, and we planned to make this week a never-to-be forgotten event. Our theatre party proved to be one of the most successful on the pro¬ gram, followed by Senior Hop, which is, in the lives of all seniors, the dance of the year. Last, but not least, came Senior Night with a happy, yet sad aspect. Time is such an elusive fellow, who barely says “Hello” before we find him say¬ ing, “Goodbye”. The thought of com¬ mencement seemed to pierce our hearts like a sharp, glittering dagger, for this would bring to an end our happy dreams. Before we realized it, we were slowly marching to the stage. The third and last act was coming to an end. We had performed our part to the best of our ability, and we went forth to receive our reward, to seek out our fortunes in the huge and dazzling world, in a world full of turmoil and strife. We shall never forget the happy days we spent at Milford High School. 16 Number 1 OAK, LILY, AND IVY Volume LVII STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Robert Kirby SECRETARY Helen Duggan LITERARY EDITORS Robert Lynch Barbara Sails Olga Sanchioni Alexandria Satkiewicz Arlene Viele Doris Williams Velia Andreano ..

It is with a mixed feeling of joy and grief that we approach this occasion, but the joy is surpassing our grief in knowing that you, who have made this possible, are with us on this memorable night. We thank you and hope that we may prove worthy of your sacrifices. National defense is the most import¬ ant topic of conversation to-day. The ordinary person who discusses the various items of defense thinks chiefly in terms of huge airplanes, which are to patrol our borders and our sea coast in defense against some possible invader; he pictures rumbling, rolling ' fortresses which rush over the land at amazing speeds. He thinks of large battleships mounted with guns and cannon of every size and type, from whose mouths would pour tons of red hot lead. He considers the number of men who comprise our well-trained armed forces. It is only natural that such thoughts should be uppermost in his mind, since these men, these planes, these tanks, and these ships are the most conspicious items of national defense. Defense does not consist only of arm¬ ing the nation with weapons of war; there is something else which is needed besides these, and that is education. The troubled times through which we are passing are placing a greater demand than ever before on the young men and young women of the American republic. It is essential for these men and these women to be clear- thinking and tolerant. It is necessary for them to be loyal to their country and faith¬ ful to their God. If these qualities are achieved, education is worthwhile. The turmoil and bitter strife of the world to¬ day would have been averted if the quali¬ ties of tolerance, clear-thinking, and devo¬ tion to God were possessed by everyone. With education the young men and young women will be able to take a place in a competitive world. All our industries are demanding young people who are trained to work for them. We want to be those young people. This program of national defense has brought with it a brighter out¬ look on life for the young high school grad¬ uate, because it has provided more work than there has ever been for the past twelve years. The graduate was beginning to feel as if he was never to be able to find a place in the work-a-day world because these last twelve years there didn’t seem to be any place where he could get a foothold on the ladder of success. T his defense program has changed all of this and the young graduate can feel safe again, because he can play an important part in making up this defense. The charge will be made that the world has gone back to a darker age because of the terrible war going on in the world to¬ day. People will state that modern civili¬ zation has degenerated to the level of the savage herds who ruled the world centuries ago. Modern science seems to be used as an instrument of annihilation rather than as an instrument to help man in his strug¬ gle toward eternity. As their specific ex¬ amples they point to things like the poison gas, a means of flooding the land and creeping like dope into the minds of men, women, and children to destroy the human brain and cut in half its ability to enjoy normal life. The development of the air¬ plane, instead of being measured in tenns of assistance to humanity, is considered successful in proportion to the amount of death dealing bombs it can carry. Scientif¬ ic achievements in a world gone mad have as their sole object the murder and mutila¬ tion of the human family and fireside. The remedy for these conditions is obvious. Education and science without God are responsible for these terrible results. Some of the dictatorial countries might well be considered as examples. In these lands to-day there is an organized 21 crusade against God, especially in dealing with school children. Religion is a thing to be cast aside like an old worn out shoe. Children are prevented from even trying to think about God. Physical education pro¬ grams take the place of the usual Sunday morning church services. The various youth leaders of these countries plan hikes at this time to keep the youth of their na¬ tions away from church. In schools this act is carried even further, because God and his teachings are ridiculed and brought to shame before innocent souls. It is the most insidious of all religious persecution. These countries have people adoring as their God maniacal despots who are sow¬ ing the seeds for their own destruction. Education in Europe has become merely a tool in the hands of power mad dictators to train the youth in the Godless doctrines so necessary to the support of their regime. God as a living force has been ignored. American education is based on sound principles that school and religion go hand in hand. The student is taught the truth about the world, and our maps and books are not gone over by a censor to have the truth crossed out. Ou r teachers are not forced to teach only things that are in standing with a certain party. The student is taught to love his country and to be proud of its free principles and above all he is taught to love his God. The result of this American system of education is that we are developing a real super-race composed of the off-spring of all races. Possessing as our birth-right the might of forty-eight states, our wealth is the cause for envious glances from so-called mighty empires. We the Class of 1941 place our trust in God and beg of Him to allow us to remain clear-thinking and tolerant. We beg of Him that we who are now enjoying the blessings of liberty may be able to hand these blessings down to posterity, unsullied, unconquered, for its eternal enjoyment. OAK, LILY, AND IVY COMMITTEE Early in March the Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee appointed by Mr. Berry, who shortly afterward outlined his plan for the book. After Mr. Morin had taken the group pictures and the drive on advertisers and sponsors was closed, the committee settled down to complete the various writ¬ ten articles which appear in this volume. It was, I assure you, no easy task to write the Class Prophecy, Class History, Class Will, and Calendar, and I want to thank the Senior committee members whose literary efforts were responsible for these articles. As Editor-in-Chief of the O. L. I., I also wish to thank, on behalf of the com¬ mittee and myself, Mr. Berry, who advised us in the formation of the book. Miss Ryan and Mr. Sweeney who helped perfect our writings. Miss Pyne who acted as our treasurer, and all other teachers and stu¬ dents who in any way helped us to complete this edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. It is only fitting that in closing we al¬ so thank those who made our education possible through a never-ending series of personal sacrifices. We mean—our parents. All the joy and exaltation which we ex¬ perience on this, the occasion of our gradu¬ ation, is due to their efforts in our inter¬ ests. We cannot hope to express our feel¬ ing adequately in words; so let us just say, “Thank you and may the future years prove us worthy of your sacrifices and re¬ pay you in some small measure for your efforts.” 0. L., AND 1. Committee. A TRIBUTE As freshmen and sophomores we looked forward with anticipation to the happy days ahead, when we would take over the privileges and responsibilities of being all-important seniors. Of course, an¬ ticipation always does exceed realization, yet commencement is here and somehow our party has not quite been complete. The opportunity to have worked with Mr. Harold M. Moran, instructor of senior English and class adviser, is a part of our education not to be realized. May we extend a unanimous hope, Mr. Moran, that an early return to active service will thus enable the classes to fol¬ low an opportunity to acquire the benefits of your excellent instruction, wise guid¬ ance and willing assistance.

Committee Ambition Technical Work THIRD HONOR ESSAY AMERICA, LAND OF LIBERTY BY ROBERT JOSEPH LYNCH The Statue of Liberty, a familiar landmark in New York Harbor, signifies to all incoming travelers the spirit which prevails in the republic of which we are the fortunate citizens. The American love of liberty and the struggle to preserve American independence have brought about the present greatness of our country. Since the inception of our republic, one hundred and fifty years ago, it has grown to such international prominence that now the course which America takes will be the de¬ ciding factor in the preservation of de¬ mocracy. In the very beginning, the land of America was looked upon as a haven, a refuge where those oppressed by tyranny and bigotry could seek and find shelter; where those who sought solace and peace of mind could readily find it in the bosom of this motherly land; a land where lib¬ erty in every sense of the word is enjoyed. It was this intense love of liberty that brought about the Revolutinoary war, out of which grew, of necessity, that safe¬ guard of the new republic, the Constitu¬ tion of the United States. The Constitu¬ tion is admittedly one of the greatest legal documents ever conceived by man, having withstood the tests of time, war, and depression. The Constitution, neverthe¬ less, is a document that primarily express¬ es the desires, aspirations, and ideals of people who wished to preserve for them¬ selves and for the generations to come that liberty on behalf of which they had fought so bitterly and now guarded so jealously. An analysis of the preamble to the Constitution serves as an excellent means of obtaining an idea how these desires are expressed. “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common de¬ fence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to our¬ selves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” In this monumental piece of writing, provisions are made: first, for the forma¬ tion of a Union of the States indestructi¬ ble despite all forms of opposition toward it; second, for the establishment of courts and police systems which would be a citi¬ zen’s safeguard against tyranny while he is alive and a protection for his family when he is gone; third, for the insurance of domestic tranquility which serves to eliminate all dissension and discord among the various states, thereby making them less vulnerable to attack by any foreign power; fourth, for the providing of a com¬ mon defence which, through the efforts of a united nation, would throw up a nearly impenetrable barrier on land as well as at sea to foreign aggressors; fifth, for the promotion of the general welfare which, in the broader sense, brings about the uni¬ fication of the states—thus enabling them to combine their resources and concentrate their energies; sixth, for securing the blessings of liberty to the new nation. If these provisions are carefully considered, it will be readily seen that the ultimate end of all is the preservation of liberty. When one compares the America of today with the America of a century and a half ago, it is evident that as far as liv¬ ing conditions are concerned, it has under¬ gone a decided change for the better. But when one compares the government of to¬ day with the government of a century and a half ago, he finds that it has undergone relatively few alterations. A citizen of this country still enjoys the enviable right of placing those in office whom he consid¬ ers to be most worthy. He still exercises the rights of freedom of speech and free¬ dom of religion. He still has no fear that his rights will be usurped. 33 Surely it is safe to assert that govern¬ ment of the people, by the people, and for the people is no untried experiment doomed to failure; it has proven its worth and its competence. Let us hope that America will continue to be the stronghold of freedom, the guard¬ ian of liberty, the greatest nation in the world. A SON’S LETTER TO HIS FATHER AUTHOR UNKNOWN Dear Dad: I am writing this to you, though you have been dead thirty years. From your seat in the Place Beyond I hope you can see these lines. I feel I must say some things to you, things I didn’t know when I was a little boy in your house, and things I was too stupid to say. It’s only now, after passing through the long, hard school of years; only now, when my own hair is gray, that I under¬ stand how you felt. I must have been a bitter trial to you. I was such an ass. I believed my own pet¬ ty wisdom, and I know now how ridicu¬ lous it was, compared to that calm, ripe, wholesome wisdom of yours. Most of all, I want to confess my worst sin against you. It was the feeling that you “did not understand.’’ When I look back over it now, I know that you did understand. You understood me better than I did myself. Your wis¬ dom flowed around kindness. And how pathetic, it now comes home to me, were your efforts to get close to me, to win my confidence, to be my pal! I wouldn’t let you. I couldn’t. What was it held me aloof? I don’t know. But it was tragic—that wall that rises between a boy and his father, and their frantic at¬ tempts to see through it and climb over it. I wish you were here now, across the table from me, just for an hour, so that I could tell you how there’s no wall any more; I understand you now. Dad, and God! how I love you and wish I could go back and be your boy again. I know now I could make you happy every day. I know how you felt. Well, it won’t be long. Dad, till I am over, and I believe you’ll be the first to take me by the hand and help me up the furth¬ er slope. And I’ll put in the first thousand years or so making you realize that not one pang of yearning you spent on me was wasted. It took a good many years for this prodigal son—and all sons are in a meas¬ ure prodigal—to come to himself, but I’ve come. I see it all now. I know that the richest, most priceless thing on earth, and the thing least under¬ stood, is that mighty love and tenderness and craving to help which a father feels toward his boy. For I have a boy of my own. And it is he that makes me want to go back to you, and get down on my knees to you. Up there somewhere in the Silence, hear me. Dad, and believe me. WORLD ' S CHAMPION BY JOSEPHINE CARDANI Grace Phelan, World’s Amateur Cham¬ pion Typist, who was featured at the New York World’s Fair for two years, demon¬ strated her typewriting skill in our audi¬ torium, May 8, 1941. A nationally recognized authority on touch typewriting. Miss Phelan won her World’s Amateur Typewriting Champion¬ ship by writing 133 net five-stroke words per minute for thirty minutes. During the half-hour, she struck 20,453 keys and made only 11 errors, giving her an average of 99.99 plus. This was the greatest record in an Amateur Contest, breaking the mark which had been standing for more than fourteen years. Her demonstration was very interest¬ ing, because it isn’t often that one sees a champion of anything in action. Miss Phelan illustrated many of her points of good typewriting by giving examples of correct posture at the machine, and easy steps which result in gaining time when taking speed tests. 34 Lamora Virginia 93 Scool Street Activities Basketball Freshman Science Clnl) Commercial 2 Knglish Literary Club David Garrick Club 2 Ambition Governess Laronga Eleanor Jane 87 East Street Activities French Club David Garrick Club 3 Lewis Rudolph P, S3 Jefferson Street Activities Football Baseball Basketball Commercial Club 2-3-4 Pres, of Commercial Club Freshman Science Club Ring Committee Lucciarini Thomas L. 27 Ravena Street Activities English Literary Club Luce Everett Larry 182 East Main Street -Activities Dante Club Ambition ocalist Lucier Omer Francis 261 Purchase Street Ambition To go to Flying School Lynch Robert J. 29 Pleasant Street Activities David Garrick Club 3-4 Junior Science Club 3-4 Ring Committee 3 O.

For four years now we have struggled that this night might be—but now that we find ourselves gathered together for the last time a touch of sadness creeps in to remind us that we are about to depart and take up different paths in life. Let us be ever mindful of the happy days spent together in Milford High — be ever grateful and loyal to our parents and teachers who have helped make possible this occasion. The people of the United States have again chosen Franklin Delano Roosevelt for their President. They have even brok¬ en an unwritten law by electing him for a third term. Such an act on the part of the American public is an evidence of the trust and confidence which they feel in him as a leader. Therefore all support should be ac¬ corded him in the gigantic defense pro¬ gram which he has instituted for America. Pacifists and other obstructionists say that there is no need of defense; that if we attend to our own affairs as George Washington warned us to, we shall escape the danger of invasion. President Roose¬ velt, however, has proceeded without hesi¬ tation with his plans for defense because he believes that the American people are not sufficiently aware of the perils threat¬ ening this country from abroad. On the occasion of his fifteenth “fireside chat, the President answered the question, “How great is the risk to America from Europ- pean attack ” by “Never before since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock has our American civilization been in such danger as now.” Since the number of volunteers for the Army did not meet the requirements, the drafting system has been established. It is hard for families to have one of their own members taken away. There is al¬ ways a fear lurking in their minds that American boys will have to participate in the European conflict; there is, notwith¬ standing, another side to the picture. America’s entrance into the second World War is still far from a certainty, but the social and physical advantages derived from military training are a reality. The draftees have begun to come home for visits. There is something different about their aspect; they walk with straighter backs and present a more dignified appear¬ ance. They have been encouraged to at¬ tend church services, and to enjoy good clean fun. Thus the carefully planned routine of the military camp is aiding the soldiers to become better citizens. Many measures of development for the Army have been set up by the Presi¬ dent. He has tripled the size of his Army sub-cabinet. Robert Lovett, one of the new men added, was appointed Assis¬ tant Secretary of War for Air, a position that has been vacant since Herbert Hoover’s time. He is the hope of Army air¬ men, who think that he will give them the kind of representation they need in high Army councils. A total of 363 higher Army officers, including the grandsons of Generals Jack- son and Grant, have been placed on the active list for the Army. At the opening of the European strife in 1940 there were only sixty-seven military leaders in America. In April two new divisions were add¬ ed to the armored force making a total of four. The General Staff has ordered that the infantry and the armored force cooperate in studies of combat principles. Plans are being formed for a three-way military activity: a joint study and prac¬ tice between infantry, armored forces, and the Air Corps. United States has two long coastlines to defend,—one coast from Eastern invas¬ ion and the other from Western. Our Navy, which is the most powerful in the 41 world, is the first line of American de¬ fense. One of the main reasons for the strength of this two-ocean Navy is its concentration; that is,—the fleet is not scattered all over the world like that of Great Britain. As a result of the hard work of Rep¬ resentative Haas of Minnesota, a bill has passed Congress providing that five of the seventeen battleships to be built will be vessels averaging 65,000 tons. Each of these five ships will cost about $130,000,- 000. These huge ships will be able to travel only twenty-eight knots an hour. However, the United States Navy has al¬ ways believed that in a final contest be¬ tween speed and gunpowder, gunpowder would be the winner. The other battle¬ ships have a displacement of 45,000 tons and a speed of thirty-three knots. By the time these enlargements to our Navy are completed, in approximately five years, the locks of the Panama Canal, which are now being enlarged, will permit them to pass from ocean to ocean. The conduct of the present war proves that the power of a country depends on the number of bombers and swift-pursuit planes that she may possess. The great automobile manufacturing corporations. Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors, have agreed to build airplane assemblies. They are shipping these to assembly plants in different parts of the United States to be organized by aircraft mechanics. William Knudsen, Chief of National Production is expecting 33,000 planes to be ready by the middle of 1942. In Washington there is a great deal of discussion whether the air forces should be separated from the Army and Navy and fused into one independent branch so that it will be easier to command. Officials in favor of such a division point out that Germany and England, the major nations fighting in this war, have had their air forces separated a long time. The details for the protection of Alaska exhibit the wide reaching nature of the defense program. Of all our pos¬ sessions, Alaska is the most exposed to at¬ tack. “Seward’s Ice-box’’ has doubled many times the amount we paid for it by the profit from its gold resources, fish in¬ dustries, fur, coal, oil, and forest reserves. Not only must we protect it for money- value, but because it is a gateway to the United States. Since many sections are not inhabited, an enemy could easily in¬ vade this northeastern addition to our country. If a foreign nation should over¬ run Alaska by means of the many open waterways, they could use it as an air base and thus make it more difficult for United States to defend herself. Up to a short time ago, Alaska had boasted of only 1,000 soldiers. As a remedy to that con¬ dition, a force of over 10,000 men has been ordered. With the $50,000,000 which has been appropriated by Congress, men are working three shifts a day constructing barracks and airports. Another feature is the 2,500-mile road which has been started from northern United States to Alaska over which army tanks may soon roll. Millions of dollars are being expend¬ ed for all these projects—dollars which will never be regretted because they will preserve United States, a true democracy, from being ravaged by soldiers led by a dictator with his own selfish ideas of what a government should be. In the words of Governor Saltonstall’s message to the con¬ gregation of one of our local churches, “We must prepare in every possible way; men¬ tally, physically, morally, and spiritually. We must be alive to what is happening. We must keep the faith of our people in our representative from of government.’’ Echoing the words of the Governor, we reiterate our faith in the American ideals of freedom and brotherly love. We repeat the words of Roosevelt, the founder of our program for the defense of Ameri¬ ca, “We must be the great arsenal of Democracy.’’ 42 stone Streeter Streeter Tomasetti Ruth Ethel Dora Mildred Carlo Frank 54 North Bow Street 9 Thomas Street 9 Thomas Street Prairie Street Activities Commercial Club David Garrick Club Ambition To go to College Activities Commercial Club Ambition To become a Salvation Army Officer Activities Commercial Club Ambition Girl Scout Mariner Activities M.

D. while I was scurrying along, unaware of my sur¬ roundings as I hurried on, Frances Greene, sob-sister for the “Tatler,” always scout¬ ing for news. My first assignment was to visit Sighing Hospital and secure a list of the victims of Morbus Amor is (lovesickness to you) a disease very prevalent in the Spring. I got the list from my old crony, Doris Williams, R. N., who told me of her long day. I invited her to pick up her fal¬ len arches and come follow me on my as¬ signments. While walking we bumped into a per¬ son who was none other than Buck Tusoni, my old pal of M. H. S. ’41. Buck was ath¬ letic director at Columbia University, here in New York, and Frankie Gentile, veteran of the baseball diamond, was baseball coach and Rudy (A. C.) Lewis was coach of basketball. Buck told us that Eddie Condon had established his own basket¬ ball system at Boston College. He also told us that blonde Janet Dalrymple, also an R. N., was located at the infirmary of Columbia University. Bucky’s football candidates always managed to sprain some¬ thing or other. He told Doris and me that among his heavy mail he had found a letter from Claire Fitzpatrick and she as always en¬ dowed him with the local gossip all about the members of our class. It seemed to quote Claire, “that the Class of ’41 all turned out well with the exception of a few black sheep.’’ After this Bucky man¬ aged to get another few words in and he told us that Mary Curran and Gail Carter were Florence Nightingales also, and that Claire, herself, was deciding whether mar¬ riage or nursing would be her career. Finally letting Bucky breathe. Doris and I reluctantly dashed off for our mid¬ day meal. We entered my favorite restau¬ rant, the Casa Ferreira, and seated our¬ selves at a quiet table. Alfred Cassinelli’s orchestra was playing a week’s engage¬ ment here. While listening to the sooth¬ ing music of Al’s band and the fine singing of Everett Luce, we did not notice the ap¬ proach of two people who turned out to be government employees, Velia Andreano and Helen Donnelly. Velia worked for the War Department and Helen for the Depart¬ ment of Agriculture. Velia talked on say¬ ing that Attilio Ferrucci was now a farm expert and under him were Donald Casey and Francis Wilson. Donald it seemed, wanted to be a druggist but he mixed the wrong ingredients for a patient and now was trying to forget. The patient was Porky Ferreira, the eminent wine-taster of the Casa Ferreira. We were sorry to leave Velia and Helen but I had to report on the fashion show with off-the-record remarks by Doris included, that was being conducted by Irma Monti. Irma told me that Barbara Comolli, the noted model, was modeling her dresses today. We admired the dresses and saw sketches of new outfits designed by June Horgan and Margaret Trevani. Irma’s secretary. Rose Mussulli, told Doris and me that Josephine Morte and Thelma Chapdelaine with Laura Tower and Helen Papelian had worked on the hair styles for the show. The show finished, I dashed back with Doris in the rear, to my office to give my report to my city editor, Olga Sanchioni. Chatting with Olga, we heard that familiar voice say, “Hi, Stoopnagles!’’ and knew it was Bob Dennett, now advertising editor of the Daily Blah! It seemed that Robert Kirby was Editor and demanded more ads so Bob was drumming up business as well as the nightclubs. Bob said ,,that he had visited the Book Fair being held at Mos¬ quito Garden where Johnny Greene’s book, “What I Learned As an Usher’’, illustrated by John Duridas, was being displayed in ten volumes. Professor Bob Lynch’s novel, “That Old Gang of Mine,” telling of the careers of his former classmates was a best seller. It was on the fiction list and was a giveaway at $3.50. Bob’s book said that Tony lacovelli, now renowned chemist, had exterminated all rats and insects from the huge factory of that noted factory-owner, Mr. Mario Celozzi, Esq., but it seemed that Tony forgot to perfect the gas he used, and it not only exterminated all the rats and insects but also Celozzi’s assist¬ ants. Among these were Jackie Manuel, elastic tester, and William Raymond, rub- 46 ber goods tester. If William could go up in one of Celozzi’s balloons, they were guaranteed to last a life-time. Chapter 11 told of Alfred Pantano, now owner of the Stock and Slop chain stores. Chapter 111 related excerpts from a sermon given by Minister Irving Smith on the subject, “Hell is Nothing Compared to This.” An¬ other chapter dealt with Leo Harlow, hot saxophone player, now engaged by the Waldorf Castoria in New York. Leo called himself, “Spindley Lee,” and was well- known in all the musical circles. En¬ grossed in reading this book, Doris and I became oblivious to all around us till I heard, “Well, if it ain’t Fran and Doris!” and then I saw that red-headed bombshell Peg Dillon. Peg was stiff competition for us but she managed to knife in a word or two and say that Bob Frieswick was now an aviator. He got so used to soaring above the clouds that flying didn’t bother him. Another recruit to flying was Ralph Cosentino. Ralph played soothing melo¬ dies to Bob high above the clouds and they both thought they were in heaven. Here Peg stopped and said, “Didn’t you notice my dress. It cost $29.95.” She looked at us again and added, “All right, so it cost $5.95 but Shirley can design the cutest dresses.” She meant Shirley Snow who owned a dress shop and had Alexandria Satkiewicz as buyer of materials for her. Shirley was busy just now getting out an order for Helen Duggan, noted author, who was just beginning another tour of the South as a buildup for her current novel, “Dropped by the Breeze,” in which her leading character, Omer Lucier, was building a dam for Niagara Falls. Omer, it seemed, had got his idea from Anthony Giammarco, Libero Valente, and Louis Trotta, authorities of note on rivers and bridges. Omer started the project several times but it fell through on each occasion. At last we broke away from Peg and I hurried to the nearest phone booth to give my report of the Fair. Plunging out of the phone booth, I rushed to the soda fountain for a bicarbonate of soda for my bad stomach which Doctor Dave Moriarty, said I should have turned upside down to be in style. Joining Doris again at the fountain, I met Lena Fino, Raffelina Bren- na and Alma Guido, typists at Worst and Company. Lena said you couldn’t mistake my figure (baggy as ever.) She told me that Anna Bonina and Ruth Stone were bookkeepers at the company and Laura Fricker was their assistant. Arlene Viele and Alice Germagian handled the steno¬ graphic duties at their company. Lena told me of a Broadway success she was go¬ ing to see that night called “I Had Twelve Years At Hard Labor” by Dave Revolt! and co-author Tony DiGirolamo. Lena identi¬ fied the various characters for us. The prisoner (who spent twelve years at school) was Ben Zacchilli. The guard (who made him stay) was John Balian. The prison¬ er’s pal who planned the escape was Frank Matos. I promised Lena I’d go too, and hur¬ ried as Olga had told me to drop by Der- babian Institute and scout out some news. As Doris and I entered the building sparks met us and singed my toupee. It was Mary Kolenda, operatic star and Archie Fertitta, author, lecturer, debater, politician, and everything else combined having a friendly debate. Smoothing my singed locks, we scooted past with Doris still in the rear, and as we passed a room, we heard giggling voices. Walking in we saw Professors Mary DiPietro and Rose Filosa. Mary was Professor of Business Science and Rose settled as Dean of Women. Rose was telling Mary about the last girl she had told how to sell tickets to people and make them buy them. Mary told us that Isabelle Copper was a teacher at New York University and Dora Ferucci was head of the English Department. Marilyn Milan was running the College Shop and was assisted by Virginia Lamora and Esther Grillo. At last bidding Mary adieu, we entered the reception room of President Derbabian. We went to Der- babian’s secretary, Helen Seghezzi, who sent us to her secretary. Flora Sannicandro, who said we must see her secretary. Mar¬ guerite Bird, who sent us to her secretary, Adeline Furcinetti. By this time my toupee had slipped and I said, “To heck with the story,” and started out of the building with Doris still behind me. An aroma of “El Ropo” cigars met us and I looked up to see President Derba¬ bian leaning against the wall reading the latest issue of the “Pickwick Papers.” “Hello, girls,” said Kevork, “sorry, no time to give you a story. Saw Rose Pillarella yesterday—athletic director at Sargent, too bad I’m too busy to give you a story, by the way, Gloria Cenedella is art teacher here, and Virginia Coffin is musical di- 47 rector. No time. Lillian Petrilli and Rita Ferrucci are stenographers here. Like to tell you about them; no time though. Met Gladys Abrahamson on boat from Hawaii; with her was Barbara Sails, army nurse returning home for vacation. Wanted to talk to them but no time. Saw piano con¬ cert last night by Minette DeBoer, very good, too busy to stay whole performance, no time. Bye, now. I’m busy.” For once we didn’t get a word in edge¬ wise. We staggered away, half bewildered and walked down the corridor to the last door. There we heard the steady rhythm of beating feet and saw the sign on the door which read: Professors John Carchio and Christine Alberta, “Instructions in the Terpsichorean Arts, Come get your A. B. C. in dancing.” We walked in and John and Christine with their assistants Dora Guidali and Enrico Bellantoni, all were there. Rico was quite thin—it seemed a certain “little” woman of about two hun¬ dred pounds insisted on learning the rhum¬ ba and she shook poor Rico out of thirty pounds of flesh. Rico told me that Julia Porzio, Emmelina Piscia, Anthony Rosati and himself with Francis Caputo as di¬ rector were thinking of starting a dance team, but Rico’s health would not permit it now. At last Doris and I broke away and decided to return to my office with the re¬ port but first I had to stop at the National Girl Scouts meetling where Arlene Rey¬ nolds presided as President. Arlene’s sec¬ retary, Eleanor DeGenoa told me that Carlo Tomasetti and Louis Parente were now C. P. A.’s and had just done the books of Connors and Company, manufacturers of cars and found them in the red, so they wrote the figures down in blue and settled everything. Their associates, Albina Repsys and Angelo Tosches had just checked the ledgers of those two law partners Timothy Hannigan and Tony Grillo. They found their net income to be $.99; after leaving out taxes, it was $.000001. Hannigan fought, previous to this, a case for Mary Coniaris, famous Broadway critic, who criticized the wrong way—with a tomato. Connie it seemed, disliked the performance by Robert Blizard and Charlie Garebedian of “Romeo and Juliet.” But she missed her mark and hit the producer Earl Webster and his assist¬ ant, Anthony Cipriani instead. Now Connie’s face was red! Walking at last to the office I bumped into some one and was about to glare at her, but after picking up my two chins, I looked up and beheld Helene Cooney. Helene was a great physicist and was trying to find out why the soap she made had burned a hole in her Wellworth kettle. This accident occurred fifteen years ago and Helene was still trying to find out the reason why. Helene, Doris and I continued on walking and were nearly struck down when we were crossing the street by Esther Healy. Esther was head of the stenogra¬ phy department of Steadfast Academy. Esther stopped and talked with us for a while. Esther said that Rosalie Jacques had just completed the interior decorating for the academy and that Mari Mainini and Frances Nardone all taught at Stead¬ fast, as well as Alziro Coelho, who was champion stenographer of the year. Esther had to hurry on but she yelled back that Grayce DeMattia and Antoinette Gua- dagnoli as well as Lena Borelli and Rose DiFonzo had positions as typists and stenographers at Customers, Inc., man¬ aged and owned by Catherine Baci. Helene remarked that she must run along so she bid Doris and me farewell, and I, with Doris still behind, bounded off still intent on reaching the office. As we walked along we heard some one’s radio blasting forth that Joe Burns, famous detective, with his assistants Thomas Lucciarini and Arthur Moffi were combing the woods for another star detec¬ tive Antonio Gonsalves who had become lost in his efforts to locate a dangerous criminal. A news flash came saying that Yolanda DeCapua had just won the speed typing contest followed by Dora and Mildred Streeter. I thought of my fifteen words a minute and grew pale. “Pee Wee” it seemed, had reached the amazing speed of four hundred words a minute. At last the radio faded out and we continued on, stopping only to look at shop windows here and there. We met Eleanor Marston and Louise Butterworth loaded with bundles. They were bound for a trip around the world. It seemed, both Dolly and Louise had tried being air hostesses and now were in search for their stom- aches. Louise informed me that Serponhy Bedrosion was head saleslady at Blascio Incorporated. A dress shop owned and operated jointly by Lena and Catherine 48 Cipriani. Olga Oneschuk looked out for the window displays so widely admired. Wishing them luck, I went along mut¬ tering to myself. Back at the office at last I asked Eleanor Laronga the news editor if George Morte, who conducted the Camera Column and also the ‘Advice to Lovesick Lads and Lassies’ column, or Freddie Sprague, his assistant, had made their early appearance as yet, it was 2.45 P. M. (early for them). Eleanor called George’s secretary Josephine DePasquale and found that he had not arrived. I went to George’s desk rummaged and in the drawer with¬ drew a sweet missile by Nicholas DeSalvia now an engineer in Hawaii. Nicky wanted to know how to get acquainted with the Hawaiian girls (unusual but true.) His Foreman John Espanet, and super-fore¬ men, Leonard Consoletti and Arthur Gat- tozzi waited patiently for the answer. Winifred Coburn, Sprague’s right hand aide, came in just then with a bag of George’s ever-increasing love-missiles. Es¬ caping from this public love questionnaire we hurried back to the sanctity of my spacious office (cubby-hole). In disguise there we found those two women who had gained honors as two of the few women who were C. P. A.’s. They were Marjorie Carbone and Josephine Car- dani. Jo began ribbing me about my news¬ paper work. They said Dominic Villani, Moorad Derdarian, Paul Ohannesian, and Lawrence Volpe were architects and were erecting a supper colossal building. A rival Company composed of George Ferrari, Wendell Cameron, Alex Speroni, and Ru¬ dolph Olivieri with Karekin Derderian as chief engineer had the brilliant idea of erecting an identical building on the op¬ posite side of the street. In the hurry they built them so fast, that the two buildings toppled together. These buildings were sketched by that eminent artist Sidney Stein, who said that they were now consid¬ ered to be the eighth wonder of the world ranking in beauty and design with the “Leaning Tower of Pisa.’’ Margy told me that Dorothy Bernard! and Margaret Ger- magian were stenographers at the com¬ pany at which she worked. Margy and Jo left us then and at this point my arches followed the downward trend like Doris’. Together we went back to the hospital to stick our tired feet into that special basin that Doris kept for such emergencies be¬ neath her desk. Dunking our feet thus we dozed off, as you may do after reading this. OUR LAW-LESS LANGUAGE We’ll begin with a box, the plural is boxes But the plural of ox should never be oxes! One fowl is a goose, the plural is geese But the plural of mouse should never be meese On the contrary, for mouse the plural is mice But the plural of house is houses not hice! As the plural for man is always called men. Why should not the plural of pan be called pen ? The one may be “that” and three may be “those”; Yet hat in the plur al should never be hose. The masculine pronouns are he, his, and him; But imagine the feminine as she, shis, shim! So English I fancy, you will all agree Is the strangest language you ever did see. OPEN HOUSE DAY As the book goes to press the Student Association is busy arranging a program for Open House or Parents Day. On this day the Parents and friends of the students visit the classes during the morning. There is an entertainment along edu¬ cational lines in the afternoon and at night —entertainment by the students—special dances for Parents and refreshments. This is always a day of pleasure for both Pa¬ rents and students. The date for this has not yet been set. 49 WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1941 BY JOSEPHINE L CARDANI iiSp it iJpmpmbprrb that we, this anniversary class to be graduated from the Milford High School being possessed (among other virtues) of a mind (if it may be called such) and a reasonable memory do this day draw up, as a model of legal exactness, our laat luiU anb tPBtampnt- To Mr. Frank C.

In WITNESS WHEREOF we have hereunto set our hands and faces this fourth day of June one thousand nine hundred and forty-one and declare this to be our last will and testament. 51 ENEMIES BY ROBERT KIRBY, 1941 The chill wind from the hills back of the drome bit through Joe’s flying jacket like a steel blade. It took more than a cup of coffee to keep a guy warm on a day like this, and besides everybody was in a sullen mood. Nerves were strained to the break¬ ing point, for after all didn’t the success of the big push depend almost entirely on keeping enemy observers out of section 57 where the troops were massing for the drive? The dawn patrol of squadron 11 was to play an important part in keeping the heavens clear over the attack area. It was the wind that brought Joe Peters to his senses as he neared the edge of the tarmac. Joe had been thinking, thinking of home in the U. S. A., of the university in Amsterdam, and of Anna. Joe always thought of these things before he went up. He hopped into his idling Spad and glanced about. A day like this was enough to give a guy the willys. A cold, wet drizzle drenched the field and everything looked grey in the mist. Joe barked a sharp reply to his mechanic’s cheery hello. Up above the sun sought to break through the mist in the east. Anyway up here one felt free for there was no earthly thing in sight, not a single house or tree, nothing but the billowy clouds below stretching out for as far as the eye could see. Joe was still thinking of the Univer¬ sity. At this time he’d just be getting up to go to Professor Van Doom’s class. He’d be stopping in to pick up Fritz. Poor Fritz, Joe had never seen him to apolo¬ gize. Fritz had gone back to Gennany thinking that Joe misunderstood him and Anna. Both Fritz and Joe had loved Anna. At that instant, Joe never knew what made him do it, he looked up and there screaming down from above was a jadg- staffel of red Fokkers, the Red Devils of Von Stoltz. As Joe Immlemanned he saw a Spad drop in flames. At the end of ten minutes of fighting four Fokkers and three Spads had dropped out, leaving two Hei- nies and two Spads. Joe was on the tail of one Fokker when he saw Mac, the flight leader, glide past with his engine dead. Joe sent down his Fokker twisting and turning, leaving a long trail of oily smoke behind. Mac deadsticked to a landing be¬ hind the French lines. When Joe looked around, Mac’s at¬ tacker was just a spot hightailing for home. He gunned his ship. That damned Heinie had seen enough to stop the drive due to break at sunset. Four miles be¬ hind the German lines Joe with exhausts blazing, caught up with the fleeing Boche. Joe found himself on the tail of von Stoltz. But the von was a wily fighter and it was not long before Joe was looking back into two flaming Spandaus. Yellow tracer crept up the Spad’s turtle back. Just when Joe expected to feel hot lead slicing his back the firing ceased. Stoltz’s guns had jammed. This Heinie knew too much to let him get away. Joe was determined to force him to land in a secluded spot, capture him, and get away before a Boche patrol could reach him. He forced Stoltz into a clearing of the nearby woods and landed. He sprinted toward the Fokker to take his prisoner but von Stoltz drew a Huger and shot Joe in the leg. Joe crumpled and everything went topsey-turvy. When he came to Fritz was leaning over him, his old school-pal Fritz. So Fritz was the great von Stoltz. Gosh, war was funny. Here was the quiet, scholarly Fritz, the terror of the Western Front. Joe told Fritz how wrong he’d been, how Professor Von Doom had told him that Anna had always loved Fritz, had never loved him. But Fritz and his bride, Anna, had gone to Germany before Joe had time to see them and apologize for all he had said about Fritz. Fritz wept to think that he had shot his best friend. And then it came. Hell broke loose on the clearing sweeping it from end to end with terrific blasts and flying shrap¬ nel. Fritz attempted to carry Joe to a place of safety. They died locked in each others arms when a huge shell bursting not one hundred yards from them sprayed them with shrapnel. Their bodies were found the next morning, arms interlocked, by a Yankee corporal. The Allies’ drive had been a success. The woods were re¬ taken. 52 After the Great War was over a metal plaque was placed over Joe and Fritz’s graves. “Here lie a German and American aviator. Both loved and fought for his fatherland. They landed here and a hand to hand fight ensued. They were found just as they were when a shell ended both their lives. Each had a death grip on the other.’’ The Yankee corporal said that the struggle must have been terrific.

SWIFT ORATORICAL CONTEST BY MARY KOLENDA, 1941 The annual oratorical contest spon¬ sored by the Honorable John E. Swift, prominent Milford High School alumnus, was won this year by Alfred Cassinelli. The purpose of this contest is “to increase interest in, and respect for, the basic prin¬ ciples of our government”, and to enable the student to express clearly his thoughts before an audience. From a number of excellent contestants Mr. Cassinelli was chosen by the school faculty, the members of which acted as judges. The contest was conducted in a man¬ ner a bit different from former years. This year the various trials and semi¬ finals v ere held in the auditorium during the regular class day, and the finals were held in the auditorium with the entire student body in attendance. The Seniors participating in the final contest were: Alfred Cassinelli, Olga Sanchioni, David Moriarty, Velia Andre¬ ano, Isabelle Copper, and Mary Kolenda. The essays were well written and well de¬ livered. Each essay touched upon a dif¬ ferent phase of the Constitution. The ordinary student usually was quite sur¬ prised to find out various things about this document which were hitherto unknown. As a lesson in history the contest there¬ fore, was of great value to the audience. The manner of delivery, in a more im¬ portant way, was of great educational value. Many of these students in the audi¬ ence who are Juniors will be taking part in the contest a year from this time. If they gained no more knowledge than a mere glimpse at the manner in which one should address an audience, the contest was a success. The requirement necessary for parti¬ cipation in this contest is that a pupil re¬ ceive above eighty per cent in his first three years of high school. The essay is written by the student himself. The group contesting this year was exceptionally fine. To the winner, Alfred Cassinelli, must go congratulations for being chosen 55 as the best orator in this outstanding con¬ test. A medal will be awarded at the Commencement exercises in June. Hon¬ orable mention goes to Olga Sanchioni. It is my personal opinion that a con¬ test of this kind shows the value that might be derived by the students if a course of public speaking was to be added to the curriculum. THE CONSTITUTION AND I BY ALFRED CASSINELLI Since I am an American, a part of the only free country in the world, I should strive to keep the bond holding me to this sacred nation as tight as I have the physi¬ cal or mental power to do so. What is this bond? It is the Constitution of the United States. The fibres making up this bond are its articles. They are the sinews of our unity. The founders of the Constitution were honest. God-fearing Americans. Did they prepare this document for their own bene¬ fit alone? No! They had in mind the future America. They had the foresight to see that some day people may not ap¬ prove of their ways of governing; for, after all, we are not all endowed by God with the same abilities and thoughts, the same ideas and functioning powers, even though some people in this world seem to think we are. We are gifted with the power and ability to do things as we see fit, things that we believe to be right. Therefore the founders left room for our ideas. They knew that, in the same way that they wished to govern themselves, we, their torch-bearers, would want to govern ourselves. This power is given to us in the power of amending the Constitution. There is nothing in this mortal world that is perfect, nothing that we can look up to and say, “Well, that’s all perfect, there is nothing we can do to make it any better!” These words would only be spoken in some foreign land where the mind of a radical rules those of his people. Our Constitution is not as a dictator, one who cannot be moved by the changing ideas and feelings of his people, one who under¬ mines the thoughts of his people. It is all changeable, and it becomes what we make it. Our Constitution under which we live is as much alive as any human being on this earth. Its breeding comes from the thoroughbreds which have been steadily developing winners for one hundred and sixty-four years. It has become a part of a nation that is respected and upheld more than any other nation since the beginning of time. While I am merely one of a great minority, I have the power to feel that we are in line for another amendment to this great document. It is that we should not send our boys to fight on foreign soil. My thoughts I express in this short group of lines: We read the papers every day. And listen to the people say. War declared here and war declared there; The dictators rule most everywhere! The people of those lands must go and fight Simply because a dictator says its right. Why when a boy becomes old enough to throw a grenade He ups and he joins that life-ending brigade. Behind him he leaves what we boys call life. Which to him means nothing but battle and strife. We can hope and can pray that the Lord up above Will let us keep the flag that we love; And if Europe, Asia, or Africa want war. If they want to show us the fools that they are. Let them have it; they’ll pay the fare; But let them have it Over There! 56 ELKS ' ESSAY WHAT UNCLE SAM MEANS TO ME BY ARLENE DOROTHY REYNOLDS Uncle Sam, to me, means America. He means America in all her forms, at all times. He means America, what she was, what she is, and what she will be. Whenever I see a picture of Uncle Sam, I see American industry. I see men and women working in clean and well- ventilated factories. I see well-lighted workrooms. I see factories with first aid rooms, rest rooms, and recreational cen¬ ters. I see happy workmen who have fewer hours and more pay. I see America at work. Sometimes when I look at Uncle Sam, I see clean, airy class rooms, smiling teachers, and busy students. I see future doctors, lawyers, nurses, businessmen. Con¬ gressmen, and even Presidents in the large number of pupils in our American public school systems. In Uncle Sam, I see edu¬ cation for all, rich and poor, banker’s chil¬ dren and lowest factory worker’s children. In Uncle Sam, I see a nation joined together for the purpose of building a bet¬ ter country. I see people happy because they have the freedom of speech, the free¬ dom of worship, the freedom of the press, and the government for which their an¬ cestors, under Uncle Sam, fought. In Uncle Sam, I see people of differ¬ ent races and creeds studying, working, playing, and laughing together. I see groups of friends of different nationalities and of different religious beliefs gathered together enjoying themselves. Whenever I see Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, Lion’s Clubs, Elks’ Clubs, and other fraternal and civic organizations, I realize that Uncle Sam in the Constitution gives u s the freedom of public meeting. If we did not live in a democracy, these organizations would be forced to disband. In Uncle Sam, I can see clean towns. I can see well-planned houses and gardens. I can see families who own their own homes and who are happy because they have their share in making up for the well-being of their town and community. I see Fathers, Mothers, and children work¬ ing together to make the inside and the outside of their homes beautiful so that they may be a credit to this nation of which each citizen forms a part. In Uncle Sam, I see democracy at work. Uncle Sam is the symbol of Ameri¬ can democracy, and as long as we have a democracy we will have Uncle Sam. 57 LITERARY CLUB BY ARLENE VIELE Each Monday morning at eight o’clock, the Treasurers of the Literary Club hurry from desk to desk passing out bank books to all Seniors who wish to make a deposit to their accounts in the Milford Savings Bank. This money is put away by each Senior, to help defray the expense of graduation. Miss Martha Molinari has made possible the existence of the Literary Club this year. She accepted the extra work of appointing the Treasurers and helping them to check and re-check each deposit to avoid mistakes. When the Treas¬ urers, Velia Andreano, Isabelle Copper, Esther Grillo, Olga Sanchioni, and Arlene Viele, have received all deposits, they are taken to the bank by our head-treasurer. Miss Gloria Cenedella. What would we do without our Liter¬ ary Club when the month of June creeps upon us? Money is needed for graduation pictures, graduation clothes, class pins, and so many other different articles. Member¬ ship in this club is not compulsory, and the amount of the deposits is left to the judgment of the students. Most of us join, however, because we find it more conven¬ ient to put aside a small sum each week. Mr. Moran, the founder of the Liter¬ ary Club, is unable to be with us this year, but we wish to acknowledge the benefits of the club which he has made possible. We also wish to express our gratitude to Miss Molinari for the splendid work she has done. SHOWBOAT The lights dimmed slowly—the cur¬ tains parted—a rollicking tune filled the John C. Lynch Auditorium. Then came, “Here comes the Showboat, here comes the showboat, puff, puff, puffing along.” Thus on the evening of February 14, 1941, the Milford High School presented to an appreciative and capacity audience our annual show, with Miss O lga San¬ chioni, as Master of Ceremonies. This year’s unique idea of having our program billed as a “Showboat,” was due to the un¬ tiring efforts of our director, Mr. Ben C. Lancisi. The stage was cleverly decorated so that it looked like a Showboat, with Nautical colors and designs following the theme. Incidentally, the spectators listened spellbound to the romantic voice of Everett Luce, and the lovely soprano of Mary Kol- enda. They listened attentively to the musical numbers by Alzira Coelho and Cas- sinelli’s Band. They laughed uproariously at the antics of their favorite comedians, Rogers, Vitalini, Fokas, “Groucho Marx” Derbabian, Raymond. A number of well-known songs were presented in an inimitable manner by the various performers. The telephone-skit, a well-received effort, was the hit of the evening. The show was acclaimed by all as the “very best ever.” All too soon came the familiar theme song, “Here comes the Showboat,” and “Goodnight and thank you. Ladies and Gentlemen. We’re looking forward to see¬ ing you again next year.” 58 LITERARY CLUB Standing, Left to Right:—Gloria Cenedella, Fisther Grille, Isabelle Copper Seated :—Velia Andreano, Olga Sanchioni, Arlene Viele 59 60 ORCHESTRA AND BAND BY JUNE MORGAN Our Band and Orchestra have developed greatly under the capable direction of Mr. Ben C.

The Association has this year tried to keep up the good work and send cheering baskets to students who are ill. or flowers to those who have a death in their immediate family. The Association sponsors educational as well as entertaining programs, such as Mischa Tulin’s performance on the There¬ min, a rare musical instrument, which proved very interesting to hear. The Association also presented Mrs. Aloah Baker in an entertaining lecture and trav¬ elogue on the various countries that she has visited. Many students do not realize it but it is through the auspices of the Associa¬ tion that the many flne socials they enjoy are held. At these socials the students 62 have an all-round good time and make new acquaintances. It keeps the interest of the students in the school by its fine annual Christmas and New Year’s Parties, which are always a success, and at which the boys and girls thoroughly enjoy themselves. It gives the parents a glimpse of school-life at its annual Parent’s Day. ' The school has Open House all day and at night the parents are served refreshments and are entertained by our own talent. The Milford High School Association is like that true friend—always there to lend a helping hand. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club organized for its third year with its largest membership composed of students from the three upper classes under the direction of Miss Eva Burns. The officers are: President, Rudolph Lewis; First Vice-President, Rose Filosa; Second Vice-President, Catherine Baci; Secretary, Frank Gentile; Treasurer, Anita Casasanta. This year the club was able to put on some exceptionally fine entertainment. Miss Carr, from the Ma.ssachusetts De¬ partment of Health, gave a very interest¬ ing talk on personality, and Mr. Reardon, from the Motor Vehicle Department, spoke on the importance of safety. These topics were of such great importance to every student that they were given at a general assembly. Besides these two speakers, several other forms of entertainment were held for members only. Much of the success of this club is due to the efforts of Miss Eva Burns, teacher in the Commercial Department. Helen Donnelly. 63 Left to Right;—John Chapman, Treasurer; David Moriarty, Vice-President; Helen Duggan, Sec¬ retary; Alfred Cassinelli, President THE DAVID GARRICK CLUB The David Garrick Club began its ac¬ tivities in 1940 by the election of officers. The Club elected Alfred Cassinelli, Presi¬ dent; David Moriarty, Vice-President; John Chapman, Treasurer, and Helen Duggan, Secretary. At one of the meet¬ ings Miss O’Connell explained the stage and various stage terms. The annual Garrick Club Play this year was “June Mad,” a story of a fifteen- year-old girl with great ambitions. It was a great success under the capable direction of Miss O’Connell, our faithful adviser, M, DeBoer. 64 Left to Right:—Robert Dennett, President; Helen Duggan, Secretary; Helene Cooney Treasurer; Alfred Cassinelli, Vice-President JUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB The Junior Science Club was reor¬ ganized in September under the capable supervision of Mr. Fred A. Metcalf. The club is designed so that its program will promote an interest for Science and also will provide opportunity for extra-curri¬ cula activities. This year the lectures and demonstra¬ tions were given entirely by the students. All of them proved to be educational as well as interesting. The members made several field trips to manufacturing con¬ cerns. The annual exhibition was held the evening of May 12. At this exhibition the parents had the opportunity to see the work which is being done by the members. The Christmas Party and the May Formal were held during December and May respectively. 65 jnA C ftnMXJ ]. n ijux €A-ytTT ' x m ' coX tuLyiJ.iS ' fO clS xJ n) urt TLeA ' X tJU .XzA ' i ' uaMn I C uiAjiyriXAy ' C iA4uyryu n ypiMJ l atryyzJ 1 0 CL X) oJuJ i yhtyyiUJi xA ' iyrzX-jX rjtJie yzyiiux i cLcxeJ T?c iXtJcla .t .

This club consists of those students who have completed, or will have completed, their last year of German by June. Meetings are held monthly, at which programs of songs, stories, and poems are rendered. As typical of these we mention; “Zwei Herzen”, “Die Wacht am Rhein”, and “Die Lorelei.” Miss Pianca generous¬ ly brought us German delicacies which we accepted with joyful murmurs. We are very glad at this time to have the opportunity of thanking Miss Pianca for the many unforgetable kindnesses that she has extended to us. We will always re¬ member the lovely Christmas party at which she distributed candy and cookies in little German shoes which she herself put so much time into making. We are all looking forward to the party in June which Miss Pianca has promised us. We know that it will be typical of Fraulein Pianca’s other parties, successful and entertaining. And now, to Fraulein Pianca, and to all the students we say, “Gluck Auf” and “Auf Wiedersehen.” H. Duggan. 07 Row III, Left to Right;—Sidney Stein, Libero Valente, Robert Connors, Irving Smith, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Robert Lynch, John Carchio Row II, Left to Right:—Marguerite Bird, Gloria Noble, Eleanor Laronga, Rachel Gubana, Janet Dalrymple, Catherine Cipriani Row I, Left to Right:—Claire Fitzpatrick, Doris Williams, Treasurer; Margaret Dillon, Secretary; Mary Curran, Alexandria Satkiewicz, President; Alzira Coelho LE CIRCLE DE JEANNE D ' ARC Le Cercle de Jeanne D’Arc consisting of seniors only, was reorganized early in September under the supervision of Mademoiselle Margaret Pianca. At our monthly meetings we benefit¬ ed by the various presentations of songs, poems, and stories by our fellow members. We can easily recall the fervor with which we recited the passage from “L’Avare,” “Au Voleur! Au Voleur.” The fete de Noel at which we sang all our songs and at which Mademoiselle Pianca served de¬ lectable refreshments will not be easily forgotten. We are looking forward, how¬ ever, with much anticipation to the com¬ ing June party which has a reputation of being a lively and gay affair. The familiar “Allons! Commencez!” is characteristic of our beloved Mademoi¬ selle Pianca, n’est-ce pas? And so to Miss Pianca we say “merci beaucoup.” And to our dear friends “Au revoir.” M. Dillon. 68 Kevork Derbabian Miss Helena Swift Helen Duggan Helene Cooney Minette DeBoer THEO-HARMON CLUB By Helen Duggan, After many successful years of ex¬ istence, the Theo-Harmon club was again organized early in September under the capable direction of our leader, Miss Helena Frances Swift. Miss Minette DeBoer was elected and efficiently carried out the duties of the presidency. The vice-presidency was filled by our very competent member, Kevork Derbabian. The financial office was com- mendably carried out by Helene Cooney. Helen Duggan was entrusted the office of secretary. When the New York Metropolitan Opera Company announced their tour which was to include Boston, our director. Miss Swift, together with the club voted to attend opening night at the Metropoli¬ tan theatre. The members thoroughly enjoyed the club because of its informality and fine spirit of cooperation and friendship. 69 Milford High School Census Data of Recent Graduating Classes Year Membership Boys Girls Valedictorian Salutatorian 1933 125 50 Boys 75 Girls Mary Deletti Alyce Youngson 1934 113 56 Boys 57 Girls Amy Smith William O’Donnell 1935 130 49 Boys 81 Girls Kayonoush Ohanian Humphrey Sullivan 1936 145 69 Boys 76 Girls Lloyd Hixon Joseph Murray 1937 153 90 Boys 63 Girls Louise Vendetti Helen Cahill 1938 144 76 Boys 68 Girls Margery Kerr Mary Parente 1939 168 88 Boys 80 Girls Louise lanzito Mary Dibattista 1940 159 59 Boys 100 Girls Lucy Spallone Yolanda Piergustavo 1941 164 76 Boys 88 Girls Alexandria Satkiewicz Josephine Cardani 70 Milford High School Census Data of Recent Graduating Classes Third Honor Class President O.

Dancing, interspersed with entertainment was enjoyed. Favors were given to each of the Seniors—Re¬ freshments were served by the Junior girls. All in all it was a nice party and we all felt that the Juniors had treated us very well indeed. Thursday—No school for the Seniors to-day—First rehearsal for graduation. We all sense that somethi ng has happened with classes all over. Friday—Senior Hop—The Hall was decorated beautifully—Maybe it looked better to us but even so it was still beauti¬ ful. The girls were all dressed up and most of the Senior boys had their white flannels. There seemed to be no excuse for any one not to have a good time. We were sorry to have it end. Saturday and Sunday we rested. Mon¬ day morning we all gathered in the Audi¬ torium after rehearsing for graduation and had a lot of fun exchanging small gifts. Sounds silly, doesn’t it, but we all enjoyed it. Some of the little sayings were both funny and apt. Monday afternoon—The girls were busy getting things ready for the night when Senior Night is held. The Prophecy, made up by Frances Greene and Doris Williams, was read. It was a little long, but it takes a long time to tell what 164 boys and girls are doing. Miss Cardani read the will—the Class of 1941 certainly was liberal. They gave away everything (that they didn’t want.) The History was read, and both Miss Sanchioni and Miss Copper did a good job in retracing the events leading up to this time. The O.L.I. was dedicated to Miss Agnes Rita Lynch and she responded nicely. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable evening. Tuesday afternoon—The Theatre Party at the State Theatre. The Seniors put on their annual show and were a hit. The audience was very loud in its applause. There was a lot of fun and a good show. Rested Tuesday night. Wednesday night—Graduation. The girls looked beautiful in their white gowns and carrying their flowers (American Beauties). The boys wore white flannels and dark coats. When the Orchestra, directed by Mr. Lancisi, started the strains of that never-to-be-forgotten March, you could hear a pin drop. Here we were after four years, just on the threshold of de¬ parture. You are right—this thrill comes only once in a lifetime. We were in the throes of it now. I thought we did pretty well. Seated on the stage. Miss Cardani, after a message of greeting, gave her essay on National Defense from the viewpoint of Education. Robert Lynch gave an ad¬ dress on Liberty. Miss Satkiewicz closed the speaking program for the Seniors with an address on National Defense—A safe¬ guard to Democracy. When she finished her farewell to the Class of 1941, only one thing remained before the closing of our High School days. Mr. Berry called the names and the chairman of our School Committee, Mr. George F. Grayson, pre¬ sented us with our diplomas. This done Mr. Grayson talked to us and told us of the responsibilities which we must now as¬ sume. Mr. Caswell, soon to retire, pre¬ sented the awards to those of the class who showed excellence in their achievements. Miss Swift directed and the class sang the Ode. Our High School Days are over. Thursday—We received our year books today and we thought they were pretty good. The Seniors went to Ply¬ mouth by bus. They stopped along the shore route to Nantasket and had lunch. Continuing on to Nantasket, we spent the afternoon there, swimming and in Para¬ gon park until six o’clock, when we started back. Upon our return to Milford, Mr. Berry allowed us to have a last social in the Auditorium. We were allowed to in¬ vite a guest to the social. By ten o’clock everybody was too tired to stay on. It was a great day and everybody had a great time. Friday night—Most of us showed up at the Alumni Meeting. There was danc¬ ing, community singing, refreshments and it was great to be with the older people. They were very kind and considerate to us. I know I shall never forget the last ten days and will always make sure to attend these Alumni Reunions. I understand bet¬ ter now why Mr. Berry has always told us to be loyal to our school. 72 MISS RYAN Doctor Marion Aylward Ryan, on June 7, was invested with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Boston Univer¬ sity. This degree is the highest academic degree conferred by the institution. Doctor Ryan’s course of study was culminated with her dissertation “George Eliot as A Literary Critic,” which was approved by the university authorities and placed in the university library. Doctor Ryan began her brilliant career in education here at Milford High School by graduating as an honor student with the Class of 1907. Matriculating at Bos¬ ton University College of Liberal Arts, she received an A. B. degree in June, 1911. In September of the same year Doctor Ryan joined the faculty of Milford High, where she has been a valuable asset ever since. For fifteen years the Oak, Lily, and Ivy was published under her supervision. Ac¬ tive in circles other than her regular edu¬ cational duties. Doctor Ryan has been President of the Milford Teachers’ Asso¬ ciation and President of the Quinshipaug Women’s Club. It is a rather happy coincidence that Doctor Ryan celebrates the completion of her thirtieth year of teaching by gaining this new degree. We, the Class of 1941, offer our congratulations on this doubly momentous occasion. It is only fitting that we express our appreciation for her efforts in our behalf. We shall always re¬ member Doctor Ryan as a true friend, and as a model teacher. 73 VICTORY BY ROBERT KIRBY Jimmie kicked the fence viciously as he turned the corner of his street and headed for home. Who’d Red think he was anyway, taking Emmy Schmaltz’s books away from Jimmy and carrying them him¬ self. Told Jimmy to scram before he got hurt. Jimmy would show him. Some one of these nights when Red did that Jimmy’d just step up and slug him. He’d give Red a bloody nose. Yessir, and maybe a couple of broken teeth too. That book would come any day now and Jimmy’d make Red laugh out the other side then. He’d show Red. Emmy must have thought he was a coward after what happened tonight. As he stepped into his front hall he looked on the table. It had come. There was a huge envelope addressed to Mr. James E. Col¬ lins, Jr. From that night on he didn’t even bother to ask Emmy if he could carry her books for her. He just let Red carry them, and if Red made any remark to Emmy as they passed, Jimmy didn’t even pretend to hear. But Jimmy had been plotting a revolution. He’d walk up to Red and say just like in the story he’d read, “If you wish this damsel for your beloved, you must answer to me. Meet me tonight in Hannigan’s field’’. Then, while the whole school watched, he’d whip Red and Emmy would come to him and beg him to carry her books. He’d forgive her then and walk off the field nonchalantly while the onlookers stared and pointed at him as the one who licked Red Porter. Every night after that fatal night Jimmy spent in his garage with his best pal. Tommy. The rest of the gang tried to peek in and see what was going on but all the windows were covered with news¬ papers. At the end of about a week Jimmy made it known to Grade 6, Parker School, that he was never afraid of Red and never would be as long as he lived. He even went so far as to say that anytime Red wanted a fight he need only come around. News travelled fast and one recess Red Porter walked up to Jimmy and said, “What’s this you’ve been saying about wanting to fight me?’’ Now was the time for Jimmy’s flow¬ ery speech. But he could only stammer out, “S—er—that is—er—ah— I’ll meet you in Hannigan’s field after school.’’ Grade 6 was in a turmoil and Emmy Schmaltz declared on hearing the news that she would positively be on hand to witness this battle for her affections. Jimmy and his gang were the first to arrive at the field and while he waited for Red he anxiously poured over a small booklet which had been in his pocket. Red arrived with his backers, closely followed by Emmy and a bunch of tittering females. Red came over to Jimmy and the crowd stood back. “Do you want to box or wrassle,’’ said Red. “Anything goes,” said Jimmy and a murmur arose from the throng for nobody in Grade 6, Parker School could out-wrestle Red Porter. Then both contestants stood back and surveyed one another. Each circled the other and Jimmy thought of the book he studied so carefully for the past week— The Science of Jiu-Jitsu — Leam to De¬ fend Yourself. If he could only get Red into position it would be all over for he’d just throw Red over his shoulder and Red would land on his head and be done. Red was at last in position and Jimmy fixed the prescribed Jiu-Jitsu hold on Red’s arm. But the hold seemed to be working in re¬ verse for Jimmy was snapped off his feet into the air. But Red has misjudged and Jimmy instead of flying over Red’s shoul¬ der hit Red under the chin with his elbow. Red fell, and Jimmy landed on top of him. Jimmy staggered to his feet and stood over the downtrodden foe. He was so excited that instead of waiting for Emmy to beg his forgiveness he walked over and picked up her books to carry them home. As Red Porter got up he dropped a book from his pocket. It looked very fa¬ miliar to Jimmy, and he compared it with his own book. Both were labelled The Science o f Jiu-Jitsu—Leam to Defend Yourself. 74 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Row II, (left to right): Congetta Celeste, Secretary; John Chapman, Treasurer. Row I, (left to right): Anita Speroni, Vice-President; Howell Mann, President. The Class of 1941 leaves Milford High at a time when Democracy and all the Democratic way of life means to us is at stake. The very outlines of our world are fast changing as war sweeps like a hurri¬ cane across the world. There was never a greater need for loyalty to the ideals of democracy, freedom, and justice. We are confident that each one of you will give of your best to uphold them. In behalf of the Class of 1942, I wish to express to you our pleasure in your comradeship. We extend our heartiest con¬ gratulations to each of you and wish you every success for the future.

This is the night of the year for every Junior, and long before even a date had been selected, promises for the sale of tickets, plans for Prom parties, and dresses and all such things that go with a Prom, were in full swing. The hall was decorated even beyond our expectations— we all agreed that when it comes to decor¬ ating, turn the affair over to Mr. Metcalf and follow his instructions—no more is necessary. The order of colors was blue and silver—as usual, mothers and fathers of members of the Junior Class were guests of the Class at this party. Each year the number of parents attending grows larg¬ er. This year, we had more than ever and no doubt about it, they make the party a real social event. About ten o’clock the Juniors and their partners form for the Grand March and even if I do say it, it is a beautiful sight. Picture above proves this. It seems fitting at this time to thank Mr. Metcalf and the members of the com¬ mittee for making the party such a social success and decorating the hall so beauti¬ fully.

Here is a seat soft enough for a young girl like you.’’ Cecilia looked around the parlor. There was old-fashioned furniture, but every¬ thing was perfectly clean. There were crocheted and tatted lace doilies on every piece of furniture, even on a stool. There were only two holy pictures. A red-cheeked Sister rustled in with the rosary at her side swinging violently. “I’m Sister Anne Christine. What can I do for a sweet little girl?’’ she asked. “Mrs. Moore asked if you could please make her a dozen lace doilies.’’ “Why, certainly. Now that the busi¬ ness is over, how would you like a little re¬ freshment?’’ Sister Anne came back with a glass of milk, some bread and grape jam. “We raised the grapes ourselves,’’ said the Sister proudly. “Gee, thanks,’’ Cecilia said in an awed voice. “Can I see your garden. Sister?’’ The Sister led her out into the garden. Cecilia said, “Gosh!’’ It was a beautiful garden—especially one part. A Statue of the Madonna stood there. Around it grew all kinds of blue flowers— some matching the Madonna’s cloak, others lighter or darker. The Sisters working there lifted their heads and smiled their peaceful smiles at her. Many birds sang, and Cecilia’s heart was thrilled. When she got home, she told her moth¬ er that she was going to become a Sister. Her mother smiled. Ten years later Cecilia was twenty. She was ready to enter the Convent to be¬ come God’s bride. But there was something wrong. She felt too happy when Richard was with her. On the night of her last dance, when Richard conducted her to the door, he held her hands tightly. “I’m not going to let you go, he said; “I love you.’’ “Richard, I can’t give you my answer now. Couldn’t you wait for awhile?’’ she asked despairingly. The next day, she went to Sister Anne Christine with her problem. “The only way I can help you,’’ said Sister, “is to tell you that a mother has a higher place in Heaven than a Sister. I’m sure the sweet girl would make a beautiful bride either for God or Richard.’’ Cecilia was in Church. She wished that she was the Sister who had the priv¬ ilege of decorating the Altar. “It’s so nice,’’ and she sighed. Then she saw Richard’s eyes asking her to be his bride and she sighed. She looked at the window which showed Joseph putting a ring on Mary’s finger—the wedding ring. They seemed so happy. She looked at the Altar again with a prayer on her lips for help. Cecilia walked out with a light step. She knew. 86 SPORTS SCHEDULE FOOTBALI SEASON 1940 October 5. Clinton . 7—26 October 12. Marlboro . 12— 6 October 19. Norwood . 0— 6 October 26.

Webster, T. lacovelli, J. Tusoni, F. Gentile, F. Bulso, A. Zachilli, G. Morte, D. Villani, W. Raymond From an educational standpoint alone, the advantages gained from the playing of this sport are numerous. The football ath¬ lete faces a daily examination on the field of play and unless the player’s mental les¬ son is perfect, his individual physical capacities go to waste. Those participating in the sport must be willing to submit to the most rigid dis¬ cipline. Only by such discipline can errors be minimized if not eliminated. Every man cannot run with the ball, nor can every man be allowed to choose the particular ter¬ ritory he prefers to defend. It is a game of individual sacrifice for the general good of the team. There is still another form of disci¬ pline which is of equal value if not greater value to the football player. It is the in¬ tensive discipline of the individual over himself. First, he must learn the simple rule of self-control. Displays of temper do no good and generally interfere with the playing ability of the angered individual. It takes time for boys to begin to know themselves, their capacity to stand physical fatigue and to absorb bodily punishment. Many so-called “quitters” are boys who haven’t given themselves a fair chance to make use of the possibilities within them¬ selves. To the graduating members of the 1940 football team I extend my congratu¬ lations to each of you for your untiring ef¬ forts in the performance of your duties to the best of your ability. Charles F. Brucato, Coach. BASKETBALL Under Coach “Fitter” Cahill, Milford High Basketballers had the most success¬ ful season since the sport had been launched at the school. The quintet parti¬ cipated in twenty-four games, winning eighteen and losing six. Among its honors were the copping of the Bay State League title and the invitation to play in the Annual Tech tournament and placed two men on the All-Tourney team. “Bucky” Tusoni at center and “Red” Oates at guard. This feat alone showed the calibre of the team. Individual scoring honors for the year went to big “Bucky” Tusoni but the rest of the starting five. Captain “Fricky” Condon, “Red” Oates, “Frankie” Gentile and “Frankie” Bulso all contributed in a great measure to the success of the season. A banquet was held in the team’s hon¬ or and the players received a gold basket¬ ball from the Bay State League, a medal from the tournament officials and a photo¬ graph of the entire team given by Coach Cahill. The team presented Coach Cahill a gift for his splendid work during the season. Although losing four of the five start¬ ing men by graduation, next years’ team will compare favorably with the past be¬ cause of the splendid record set up by the Junior Varsity five which won seventeen games and lost only two. 89 Left to right—Mgrs.

Of course ball players like Nick Julian, Bobby Frascotti, Walter Ray and John Rappazini cannot be lost without considerable effect, but at the present writing competent boys seem to have taken over their several chores with¬ out too much loss of efficiency. Let us go down the roster and see how things really shape up. Catchers: —Angelo Tosches, a senior and veteran, played some the last two years. A smart receiver, a good thrower and ge tting better at bat with each game. Eddie Cenedella, a Sophomore, first year on the squad, shows promise of be¬ coming a real ball player. First Base: —Arthur Cornacchia, a Junior, was a member of the squad last year. Has taken over Johnny Rappazini’s old job with surprising and encouraging aptitude. Shows signs of becoming a pow¬ erful hitter. Second Base :—Captain Frank Gentile, a Senior, and three-year man. A better boy could not be captain, a steady, depend¬ able fielder and hitter and one who receives the co-operation and respect of all his team members. Third. Base: —Vincent Dagnese, a Sophomore, still must be listed a veteran. A member of the squad last year, but kept on the side lines because of low marks. This year he has proven himself by being on the ball and the books. Vinny has a strong arm, good hands and hits the ball on a line. He has a future in baseball if he keeps plugging. Short Stop: —John Espanet, a Sen¬ ior and veteran, played third last year but was moved to short to steady the infield. He has done just that and looks better in every game. Possessed of a very accurate arm he also has that very rare ability at the plate to come through in the clutch. Left Field: —Leo “Red” Oates, a Junior and veteran. Red won distinction by making the squad his Freshman year, so this is an old story to him now. He caught last year, but was moved out to the outfield to utilize his powerful hitting. “Red” is the most versatile member of the squad and can do a good jub in about any position. Center Field: —Joe Vitalini, a Junior and veteran, this is Joe’s second year as a legular. Last year he played second base but because of his speed and hitting was moved to the outfield. Joe is the smallest but the fastest member of the squad. Right Field —Frank Bulso, a Senior and veteran, has been knocking at the door for two years and this year looks like the one. Bulso is a smart courageous athlete and a coach’s player—hard working, co¬ operative and dependable. Frank will do well in anything he undertakes. Pitchers :—Fred Sprague, a Senior and veteran. This is Fred’s fourth year on the squad. Quite a distinction. He has been one of the most dependable pitchers we have had in a long while. Sprague de¬ pends more on guile and control than blaz¬ ing speed and thus far has been doing a great job. Paul Hachey —a Junior, second year man. Last year Paul was our most consis¬ tent “fireman.” This year, with more weight and experience he should be ready to take his place as a starter on the firing line. Albino Ferreira —A Senior, second year man. A Southpaw, “Porky” combines control with a good hook to get by the hit¬ ters. Looks like he’s due for a good year. Walter Kosiak —a Junior, first year man, small but strong with good control and a nice hook. Should get by. David Cenedella —a Sophomore, first year man. Tall, rangy, has fine build for a pitcher. Will develop. Bobby Ahearn — a Junior, first year man. Bob has grown five inches and should see service before the end of the season. Our three Freshmen left handers— Tieuli, Ferretti and Macchi, are developing fast and show promise of becoming one of Milford’s most potent combines before they join the Alumni. Behind these regulars stand—Carey, Piscia, Crescenzi, Derderian, Giacomuzzi, Pavento, Vincent and John Votolato ready to step in and do their bit if the necessity arises. UNIVERSALIST CHURCH. Purchased from the Church and used as a school, when original was destroyed by fire, until it also was burned in 1901. On July 20, 1900, the town voted to build a new High School—It was completed in 1901. Destroyed by fire on March 31, 1937. Increased membership demanded an addition to the old building. This was opened in Septem¬ ber, 1936. 25 Years Ago—Class of 1916 CLASS OFFICERS Charles Vesperi . President Dorothy Lilley Prince . Vice-President Essie Murray Kelliher . Secretary Joseph Bruce .
