Administration . . . A Typical Office Scene in which we find Mr. Higgiston dictating an announcement to Miss Del Castello. We honestly hope it is the notice for an extra period during which we may glance over the immortal words of Milton. The Office, Center of Our Schoo I Activities Our every activity whether it be educa¬ tional, social, or athletic was presented for approval at “the office.” At any time of the day Mr. Higgiston, our friendly leader and adviser, might be found in his office. It was at this center of administrative con¬ trol that the very first plans for this edi¬ tion of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy were drawn up. Although we were deprived of the leader¬ ship of Captain David I. Davoren, who was called to the service of his country, we were fortunate indeed to have Mr. Higgis¬ ton as our acting principal. His sincere interest in our behalf gave us the incentive to utilize our many opportunities. Under Mr. Higgiston’s able guidance both faculty and student body functioned as one har¬ monious unit. At the office we were certain to be greet¬ ed by the friendly smile of Miss Theresa Del Castello who was always ready to lend a helping hand. A Tribute “To the members of the class of 1942 and to my colleagues of the Milford High School faculty, I say ‘Thank you.’ The respect accorded to me during my tempor¬ ary elevation; and the cooperation extended by both groups will ever remain with me amongst my most pleasant memories. James A. Higgiston, Acting Principal. 13
