ADMINISTRATION HE ADMINISTRATION of the High School was under the capable hands of Acting Principal James Higgiston for the greater part of the year. Lt. Col. David I. Davoren returned on April 17 to take up his duties as principal. f nother very important change is in the offing as we go to press. Miss Theresa Del Castello includes in her future plans a wed- ding to Mr. Michael P. Visconti, one of our Selectmen, and formerly a member of the school committee. To Mr. Davoren we offer our Welcome back and best Wishes for success with future classes. To Mr. Higgiston We oier our thanks for guidance during the greater part of our high school career. To Miss Del Castello we offer sincere thanks for her co-operation and her patience and our fondest Wishes for a long and happy married life.

We are very proud of them end hope to make them proud of us as we assume our positions in life. We Want to express our gratitude to these mem- bers of the faculty who have so patiently toiled with us each day. Our gratefulness must also be expressed to them for carrying cn the school program in a manner beneficial to all. Everyone of us is cognizant of the fact that this was no easy task, particularly Page Fourteen during the years in which We were at warg however they have done a thorough job in a most conscientious manner. We truly appreciate the patience and time that they have given us, both in and out of the class- room, to develop our skill and abilities. In retrospect, We seniors see that emphasis has been placed primarily on formation, then cn information. For giving us, by precept and example, the strength to cling to what is right, we, the class of 1946, are happy to dedicate these pages to the faculty of the Milford High School.

The History of the Class of 1946 ATER TEMPUS has at last finished trudging his long rugged hour path behind the racing footsteps of the grad- uating class of 1946. He has bound us to our Alma Mater by a golden chain which shell never be broken. Never shall we forget the friends we have made, the faculty we have distressed end encouraged. and lastly, our class as a Whole, which four, hearty, rollicking years have made invincible. In September, nineteen hundred and forty- two, the class of '46 was born. The echoing footsteps of 197 Freshmen were heard through the corridors of Milford High School. After Acting Principal Higgiston delivered his welcoming address, he very helpfully outlined the plan of the building. Finding the way to our classes baffled us for a time, but soon we became as familiar with the routine as the most experienced upper- classmanf' In our first election of class officers, we proudly chose Anthony Petti, president, Mary Carey, vice-presidentg Natale Grillo treasurer, and Barbara Ettinger, secretary. We were initiated into the social life at Milford High by the Student Association, which tendered us a most enjoyable wel- come party. Four of our own classmates, Barbara Ettinger, Claire Luisetti, Howard Celley, and Robert Healy represented us in their group. Examinations, report cards, and vacations occurred in rapid succession until we dis- covered our iirst year of high school coming Oak, Lily and Ivy to a close. We were exceedingly proud to have Mary Grillo receive the Inez L. Gay Freshman Latin Prize at the Commencement Exercise. Now we had completed one task and avidly awaited another. We considered ourselves to be quite sophisticated when We started our sophomore career and conceived that we, Freshmen of yesterday, were upper-classmen of today. Again we elected officers to represent us. Philip Kimball became president, Juliette Ferreira, vice-president, Natale Grillo, treasurer, Rose Balian secretary. Once more we were going to school in war-time. There were air-raid drills, drives for Red Cross funds, scrap paper drives, metal drives and many other activities for various patriotic causes. We were given an unusually long Winter vacation, and activi- ties in the auditorium were held at a minimum, for it was still a war-time school year and with it came rationing and all the shortages that are now past history. Our weekly bond and stamps sales were also very successful. Yes, this, a chaotic world, was at war. At about this time Mr. Cahill, our athletic coach and teacher, left to join the Navy. During this, our sophomore year, several of our classmates broke into sports. It was the beginning of high school sports careers for Camel Comolli, Shipwreck Castig- lione, Fred Besozzi, and Jim Whelan. Pini Skaff was among them, but he left to join Page Fifteen Seniors enjoying themselves at our Junior Prom are-Left to Right: J. Whelen and B. Taft, P. Kimball and C, Ciritte, D. Bishop and F.

These, and many other partici- pants in baseketball and baseball increased the interest and enthusiasm of the class of '46 in the athletic teams of Milford High School. Another summer flew quickly by and another year came up for the class of 1946. On September 1944 the portals of Milford High School were opened to all its classes and we the class of '46 were welcomed back as t'Juniors . CMighty important people to say the leastj. We were all excited the first day dreaming about our class rings, Junior Prom, Junior Science Club membership, etc. However it didn't take us long to realize that our Junior year was not all play, but another war-time year of study and hard work. Election day was held early in October. The ballot counting proved Philip Kimball, presidentg Genevieve Farese, vice-presidentg Natale Grillo, treasurer, and Rose Balian, secretary. The ring committee and the dance committee were chosen also. To both committees we owe a rising vote of thanks for their fine work. We are still boasting about the best class ring ever chosen. Our prom was a memorable event. It was the first spring formal that M.H.S. had expe- rienced in many years. It was held shortly after Easter. The profusion of Easter bunnies in traditional Easter colors, and the lassies and laddies of the class of '46 in their choicest iineries, made the auditorium an unusually beautiful sight. Ben Lancisi's Page Sl'XfL'f'lI orchestra was never better. Among our guests were the members of our faculty, Lt. Col. Davoren and Mrs. Davoren, our former Coach, Lt. Steeves and Mrs. Steeves, members of our school committee and our proud parents. It was not long before many of our class found themselves eligible for membership in the Junior Science Club. Those of us who have been privileged with membership have many happy memories of the fine Christmas party and May Dance, as well as the many interesting meetings. Howard Celley of our class was elected treasurer of the club for the year 1944-45. The work of the short-lived Press Club appeared among the pages of the Milford Daily News. Rumor has it that it was a very fine job. We hope that future classes will take up the line work of this club so that the alumni and the friends of M.H.S. will be able to read periodically of the activities about the school. The Commercial Club plunged into jour- nalism too. The staff of the M.H.S. Commercial and Miss Eva L. Bur-ng their faculty advisor, are to be congratulated for their diligent work to complete the monthly editions of their paper, The traditional Junior-Sen' ' held in the auditorium June 7iOln94E1i,ei9erIEy2Zg to be an unusually hilarious affair. Those who attended will never forget Pacella's imitation of the Memorial Day Program CPacella, where did you get that hat?5 ' The History of the Class of 'I946 iConcludedi So, with this bidding of a fond adieu and a farewell good wish to the class of 1945, our Junior year had come to a close, and we immediately began to proudly boast that we of '46 were prepared to carry on capably as the new Senior class of M.H.S. At last, after a happy summer that brought peace to the world, we were received as Seniors on September 5, 1945. We welcomed not only the Misses Edith Rose and Mafalda DeSalvia to our faculty, but as the year rolled on the absent mem- bers of our faculty returned from the war. First, Mr. Sweeney, then Mr. Brucato and finally our Principal Mr. Davoren and Mr. Consoletti. It is fitting to mention here that the members of the class took a prominent part in all language clubs. The Dante Club, under the supervision of Misses Oliva and DeSalvia, proudly elected Vin Consentino as their president. Miss Pianca's German Club, with Mary Grillo as president, enjoyed many interesting meetings. This club traveled to Auburndale to visit with the German Club at La Salle Junior College. The French Club-Le Cercle Jeanne D'Arc-also under the direction of Miss Pianca chose Genevieve Farese as their leader. This group enjoyed many social hours that proved not only interesting but entertaining. Shortly after the Christmas vacation, Act- ing Principal Higgiston announced the O.L.I. Committee. Mary Grillo was named Editor- in-Chief and James Whelen was appointed Associate Editor. It was not long thereafter when we began to hear about Constitutional Essays-and the John E. Swift Oratorical Contest. The contestants chosen by the English teachers were Marilyn Banks, Marilyn Cameron, Howard Celley, Genevieve Farese, Juliette Ferreira, Ruth Fuchs, Mary Grillo, Eleanor McMann, and Phyllis Shunk. The members of the faculty served as the judges and proudly chose Marilyn Cameron the winner of the contestg Eleanor McMann received honorable mention. Each year the teachers and members of the Senior Class are called upon to select a representative to the D.A.R. Pilgrimage. The person best exemplifying the qualities of leadership, patriotism, dependability, trustworthiness, and scholarship are so hon- ored. This year Mary Carey was chosen as our representative. The Senior Week Committee and their faculty advisors started work in March to insure the success of our final senior activi- ties: Senior Night, The Theatre Party, The Class Banquet, a Class Excursion, and finally our acceptance into the Alumni Association of our Alma Mater. On June 19, 1946, as the orchestra com- menced the majestic finale, one hundred and thirteen seniors-one by one Went tramping out of theirwschool careers forever, into life. The tramping feet that four years ago first echoed in the corridors of our high school were the tramping feet of 113 proud alumni. The sound gradually faded out, the echo became indistinct and Hnally was lost. The history of the class of 1946 had ended. n 1 Here are the Chairmen of the Senior Week Committee, who are responsible for our enjoyable Hnal week. Left to right: Seated, Innis. Cimino, Balian, P.

CLUBS These members of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee are diligently working to make their yearbook the best in the history of the school. Do you think they succeeded? Year Book Staff Strives for Perfection NXIOUSLY we awaited the announce- ment of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee. Finally, the eventful day arrived in January when the editorial staff was chosen and was given the tremendous responsibility of the publication of this book. At the first meeting our faculty advisors, Mr. Higgiston and Mr. Sweeney, acquainted us with the responsibility entrusted upon us by our appointment to this committee. Real- izing the honor conferred upon us, we were more eager than ever to make the 1946 edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy the best in the history of the school. The first obstacle to be overcome on the road to success was concerned with Hnances. Equipped with self-explanatory letters of introduction we sallied forth in quest of ad- vertisements and sponsors. Adhering to our own rules in salesmanship, we succeeded in raising the funds necessary for the publica- tion of our year book. Page Forly-eight Our most important and most difficult task dealt with the printed matter and the pictures. The first problem was the editing of the Writeups for the senior class and the various clubs. Under the guidance of our advisor we surmounted the difficult task. Mr. Sweeney aided us also in solving our photographic problems. With a final burst of energy and a splendid spirit of cooperation, all was completed. We, like the 0.L.I. Committees of former years, have the deepest appreciation for the help and supervision accorded us by Mr. Higgiston, Mr. Sweeney, Miss Pyne, English teachers, and all who helped us complete this edition. We assure them that their time and efforts are truly valued. As we lay down our pencils, we are aware that although the task was often tiring and discouraging, we have been recompensed for OUP 1HbQF by knowing that we have fulfilled our main purpose, to preserve by word and picture a lasting rememberance of our high school days. ilflilford High Sr-17001 s E 3 l We observe that our competent Business Manager, Fred Besozzi, and our Circulation Manager, Philip Kimball. are actively Working, making plans for our Class of '46 yearbook. Behind the Scenes ITTLE DID we realize the tremendous amount of Work involved in being appointed to this committee. One of the most important obstacles to be overcome was the procuring of a publisher. Gosh, were we disappointed when it was rumored that we could not have a yearbook! Through the good salesmanship of our faculty advisers, Mr. Sweeney and Mr. Higgiston, we managed to have printed this edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy, of Which, incidentally, we are quite proud.

Page Forty-nine Above We see our carefully chosen Senior Week Committee. These students under the direction of Mr. Harold Moran, planned big things for our last Week at our high school. Fitting Finale ls Provided By Senior Week Committee T LAST it had come! The long awaited senior week was Hnally here and all sorts of festive events were brewing. Our activities opened with a last assembly in the auditorium. There was excitement in the air, mingled with a touch of melancholy. Each member of the senior class was pre- sented a token symbolizing some past event. The remainder of the day was spent in the Town Park where we indulged in a program of sports arranged by Rita Donnelly and Howard Celley. Senior night found us on our best behav- ior, ready and waiting for any activities that had been planned for us by co-chaiman Rose Balian and Anthony Cimino. The Class Will was read by Juliette Ferreira, willing all of our most precious possessions to the under- classmen. Class Historians, Mary Carey and Genevieve Farese, reviewed the outstanding events of our high school days. With a stirring prologue, Virginia D'Alessandr0 presented the class gift. The dedication of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy to Miss Madeline Kynoch added a note of gravity to the festivities. Page Fifty Finally, on Tuesday morning copies of the O.L.I. were distributed, and the unanimous approval that it received made all our ef- forts worth-while. Wednesday finally arrived with graduation uppermost in our minds, As we, formally attired, made our entrance into our familiar auditorium, a feeling of solemnity crept over each and everyone. As we nervously walked across the stage to receive our long-awaited diplomas, a feeling of pride surged through us. Thursday morning brought about the hus- tle and bustle of packing lunches and making the usual preparations for our annual excursion to Nantasket Beach. Friday evening concluded our unforget- table week, bringing about our introduction into the Alumni. As we left the auditorium to go our separate ways of life, we knew that one phase of our life had ended, and that another was soon to begin.

Student Council-Our Voice in School Affairs N EAGER AUDIENCE became hushed when Howard Celley, our President, came out on the stage to introduce the guest artist of the day. It was our first assembly of the year. Amid the applause of the excited audience, the curtain rose on a magician and his equipment. The program which followed proved to be very interesting. The magician with his two assistants, volun- teers from the audience, succeeded in puzzling everyone with his tricks of magic. Adventure and thrills constituted the theme of our next assembly. Mr. Irvin Williamson, a deep sea diver, showed movies of his underwater experiences and com- mented upon them. The monsters of the deep terrified the more timid in the audience while they incited the adventure lovers to become deep sea divers. The social success of the season was also sponsored bv the Student Association. It was the annual Hallowe'en Costume Party. The galaxy of original costumes made it diilicult Oak, Lily and Ivy for the judges to select the winners, who were presented prizes by Miss Madeline Kynoch. The music lovers enjoyed the performance of Edith Marshall Clark who played the Swiss bells at our third assembly. Miss Clark played both popular and classical music. Her version of The Bells of St. Mary and other favorites brought many favorable comments from the students and teachers. Our drama was taken care of by a mono- logue artist, who delighted her audience with her impersonations of a housewife, a woman in a hat shop, and other well known personalities. Through the Student Association, joy was brought to those at home because of illness. Books, flowers, or fruit were sent to them. Flowers were also sent to the family of the students in which a death occurred. With the co-operation of the students, the Student Association brings many programs which are educational as well as enjoyable. Page Fifty-one Above We see M.H.S.'s business men and Women of tomarrow taking time out from their commercial studies to smile prettily for the photographer. They are assurance that a better business world is ahead. Commercial Club-Sponsor of School Publication MONG the active clubs of M.H.S. in 1946, the Commercial Club ranks very high. This year its total membership was sixty Juniors and Seniors. The purpose of this club is to encourage the members to develop greater interest in the commercial subjects offered at the Milford High School. To develop such confidence, self-reliance and assurance that they can master the types of business work that will make them independent and successful, and to develop the talents, abilities and traits of character that shall lay a foundation for future work or study. That members may learn to co-operate with their fellow students, that they may take an active part in the affairs in the home, in the school and in the community, and that they may learn to become good citizens. To give members a knowledge of the business enterprises in their community, and to acquaint them with the opportunities for employment and promotion in the field of business. This year the club is again grateful to Miss Eva Burns, for her able guidance and supervision. If it were not for her Page Fifty-two enthusiasm and patience, it is doubtful that we would have carried on so successfully the major project of the club, the publication of the t'M.H.S. Commercial? At the organization meeting, the following officers were nominated and elected: President, Frank Massarog Vice-President, Hazel Bowden, Treasurer, Louise Becciag and Secretary, Marilyn Banks. Miss Marilyn Cameron, editor-in-chief of the HM.H.S. Commercial , is to be congratu- lated for her untiring efforts in its behalf. Elizabeth Julian, Eleanor McMann, Mary De Matteis, Alfred D'Alesio, and Ruth Carlson were the art editors for the publications. The club members attended a series of educational and enjoyable meetings arranged by the program committee. This committee included Ruth Dion, Evelyn Viele, and Robert Consigli. In May the club witnessed an exhibition of business machines sponsored by the Worcester School of Business Science. We hope that the future students of the Commercial department at Milford High will avail themselves of the opportunities, both educational and social, which will be gained by membership in this club.

As our club had a rather small' membership-eight girls-we tried to substitute quality for the lack of quantity. Resolving to work faithfully, we assiduously read about the adventures of Colomba, the stringency of L'Avare, the hearbreaks of Graziella, and the brave ex- ploits of Pierrille. Occasionally We trans- lated French newspapers, pamphlets, and magazines. When we had done our transla- tion exceptionally well, our beloved in- structor, Miss Pianca, would reward us by patiently answering our endless questions about France. We never tired of hearing about all its wonderful sites, and we were soon hoping for an opportunity to visit them. Mademoiselle Pianco described everything so vividly, that we felt if that opportunity ever came, we would be quite familiar with the various lieux d'interet. Of course, our club was not all work. At our meetings we sang, recited poetry, and held conversations with each other in Oak, Lily and Ivy French. We particularly delighted in singing such favorites as Au Clair de la Lune, and La Marseillaise. When the strains of La Marseillaise filled the Hrst floor corridor, everyone knew that Le Cercle de Jeanne D'Arc was holding another meeting. Under our capable president, Genevieve Farese, all the meetings were conducted smoothly and ended all too soon. One of the oustanding events of the year was a birthday party we gave for our young- est member, Mary Maxfield. What a struggle we had singing Happy Birthday in French! On our way to the next period classes, teachers and students wondered at seeing us munching on the last piece of birthday cake. We are grateful to Miss Pianca for having taught us so much about not only the French language, but also the French people and their customs. As we look back on our days at the Milford High School, we shall always see the French Club as the bright spot of the senior year. Page Fifty-three Above are the members of the Dante Club, At least all the members who could fit into one picture. This club is one of the largest and most active in school. Dante Club Promotes Cultural and School Program HIS YEAR, more than ever, Il Circolo Dante has had a large group of enthusiastic members. Under the su- pervision of the Misses Oliva and De Salvia, the Italian students have learned a great deal about Italy. The language reveals to them the beauty of Italy, and they realize that from this country came forth some of the world's greatest artists. Italian students learn the language quickly and easily because it is so interesting. It has always been said that the Italian language is beautiful because it has romance in it. The students have found this out for themselves. Shakespeare is also studied in Italian classes, because many members of the club purchased a copy of Romeo and Juliet which was written in Italian. This greatly encour- aged reading by the students.. With the dues paid by the members of II Circolo Dante, successful parties were held where everyone enjoyed himself. With the aid of the co-operative students, a gay harvest dance, a cheerful Christmas party, and a colorful spring dance were held. At each of these parties the hall was appro- priately decorated by Miss De Salvia, who Page Fifty-four was aided by the students. It has been proved that high school students really appreciate the cultural things in life, for a large number of members, accompanied by the Misses Oliva, De Salvia and Farese, went to Boston to see the opera, The Masked Ball. In the Italian classes, much discussion comes up about all of the great operas, so that the students become enthused and want to know more about them. Our Italian teachers should feel that they have made an accom- plishment when their students enjoy hearing albout operas and want to know more about t em. In all, Il Circolo Dante is one of the most successful clubs in the high school, and we, the class of '46 hope that in future years, it willgigntinue to be as successful as it was in .

Deutscherverein Ist Sehr Interessant HEN we are out of high school, and the years are quickly passing by, we will happily look back on our daily excursions into the colorful and educational realm of Fraulein Pianca's German class. Our sessions there seemed all too short, especially when Fraulein Pianca related incidents of her travels in das Vaterlandf' which included visits to the operas and to Oberammergau to view the Passion Play. Die Lehrerin also showed us various pic- tures and postcards of points of interest in the larger cities and in the beautiful resorts of f'Deutschland . Our brains were often wracked as we attempted to translate the fine copperplate handwriting in the many letters received by Fraulein Pianca from friends in Germany. Wishing to increase our knowledge of the manners and customs of the people, we unanimously decided to form a club. Our officers, which include the entire class, are the following: President, Mary Grillog Vice- President, Mary Maxfieldg Secretary, Eleanor Morgan, Treasurer, Claire Luisettig Musical Director, Jeannine Lally. In the early part of the year a severe snowstorm prevented our attending a lecture in Boston on Weinachten in Deutscher Oak, Lily and Ivy Kunst und Literatur. However, we were not discouraged, we could still have our traditional spring picnic. Not long after- wards, an intriguing invitation presented itself in the guise of a former student who expressed the wish that we would attend a German program at Lasell Junior College. We joyfully accepted the offer and were delighted at the magnificent performance of the students and their fine rendition of songs, poems, and anecdotes. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and Fraulein Pianca consented to take us on another trip before the com- pletion of our last year in high school. As we read about the delicious cake, Apfelkuchen, in our favorite novel, Emil und die Detektive, we were more than anxious to taste German food. Several days later we experienced a delightful surprise. Our beloved instructor brought us a sample of this cake, which is the favorite of all Germany. We were convinced that the Germans have some of the most appetizing food, besides some of the world's greatest music. To Miss Pianca, who showed more than a common interest in us, we express our sin- cerest gratitude for her untiring efforts to better our understanding of the German people. Page Fifty-Hue Here We have the ELEVENTH ANNUAL MINSTREL SHOXV. One of the greatest perform- ances to be put on at M.H,S., We think . . . The quartet, from left Zo right, are: Gloria Grifiith, Barbara Ettinger. Helen Morin, and Georgina Falconer. Minstrel Show-A Smashing Success HE HOUSE LIGHTS are dimmed, the audience becomes quiet, and so begins the eleventh annual minstrel show. The curtain opens to reveal as a scene, a boat Wharf, end in the distance, deep mas- culine voices humming a melodious tune caught the ears of the very large audience. The voices continued their stirring melody while the audienee waited in expectation as to what was going to happen. Could it be that those enchanting voices belonged to our high school boys? But of course! They had hidden talents which were finally brought out under the expert tutelage of Mr. Ben Lanr-isi. Our show was so different that the audience was completely lost in its glory. The puzzlement of the audience as to the purpose of the boat wharf scene and the voices in the distance ended when Jimmie Whelan, our competent interlocutor, came out to explain that he had a show to but on. They were Waiting for the boat, and since it would not leave for another hour, they would rehearse the show. The boys Hnallv emerged dressed in lum- ber shirts-a perfect display of the mascu- linity of M.H.S. This chorus, composed of Page Fifty-six all boys, was proclaimed to be the best ever assembled at the high school. With the aid of Cosmo Valente, who proved to be a born comedian, and the very capable end men, the jokes came at a furious pace. A comical dance by three boys dressed as women, Vin Cosentino, Manuel Alves, and Charlie Innis, brought gales of laughter. One of the outstanding numbers of the show was a jam session, the music being furnished by three of our most well known musicians Tony Cimino, Cosmo Valente and Nick Pacella. During each song, the chorus of boys added their voices, furnishing a background of music which enthralled everyone. The show, as a whole, was said to be one of the best ever put on in our high school. Mr. Ben Lancisi deserves much credit for the perfect manner in which he conducted rehearsals, and for his endless patience dis- played at that time. Obviously, he knew that this show was going to be a great Success, It was a gay and satisfied audience that left the John C. Lvnch Auditorium on the night of our eleventh annual minstrel show, Milford High School l l The 'Pride of Milford High again merits our praise and admiration for a successful season of stirring music. Our Cute majorette who attracted the eye of many with her pleasant smile is Gloria Ruth Griffith. Milford High School Band Better Than Ever NCE AGAIN the Milford High School band, under the capable direction of Ben C. Lancisi, Jr., presented a season of stirring music. This year, being one of victory, allowed the band to participate in more football games than in the previous years of war. This group certainly offered a lot of competition to the other high school bands, and gave the spectators a fine exhibi- tion of precision marching and musical talent. Without Ben, where would they be? We're afraid to stop and think of that, for his un- tiring eHorts and proficiency in conducting and directing the band have won him many words of admiration. As is the custom, on Christmas Eve the band rendered carols from seven o'clock to midnight, spreading cheer and joy to shut- ins around our town and adding a touch of Christmas spirit. On the evening of March 8 the band journeyed to Boston to Witness a perform- ance of the Merry Widow operetta. This trip was made possible because of their splendid job in the V-J Parade. Oak, Lily and Ivy The band was present at most of the football games. They have fond memories of the big game with Clinton. Busily tooting, blowing ,and beating, they were unconscious of everything about them, including the weather. Oh! Oh! then came the rain!! They left in a very dignified manner, and even though it was raining, they still shone. Who will forget that memorable Milford-Fram- ingham game or the new series with St. lVlary's with the band in full array! A parade preceded the game and the band also furnished music during the half. Elegant is the only word to express the appearance of the band when the Pride of Milford High formed the letter M with accuracy and perfect timing. By the way, we won the game. The Fourteenth Annual Concert was held in the John C. Lynch Auditorium on Friday evening, May 24. The musical selections included such gems as: 'Rhapsody in Blue, selectiong Day of Youth, overtureg Yankee Rhythm, selectiong Row Row Row, noveltyg Medley of waltzes by Straussg Something About a Soldier, descriptiveg and selections of old time tunes. The concert, as usual, was a credit to Mr. Lancisi and to the Milford High School. Page Fifty-seven -. v.

The suspense was brought to an end! Mr. Higgiston finally disclosed the long awaited news concerning the essay which each senior is expected to write. With earnest interest the students dusted off the history books, took the dictionaries out of the moth balls, and began to write. Write what? They began to write about the Constitution of the United States and the feelings they hold in their hearts for it. At first, it seemed diflicult to find the right words to express just how they feel about the Constitution. But gradually the essay took shape. Then, the finishing touches were carefully added and the essays, representing the citizens of tomorrow, were given to the English instructors for examination. Although this task was completed, the seniors had a few more days of suspense. Again Mr. Higgiston made an announcementg this one was very important, however, for it revealed the names of the students who had been chosen to participate in the annual Swift Oratorical Contest. Once more the students put their minds as well as their hearts into perfecting their essays and preparing for the coming contest. Weeks of constant work followed as the Page Fifty-eight contestants trained their voices for the com- ing event. Miss O'Connell, with her untir- ing patience, has aided countless students of the Milford High School to achieve success. At first they were uncertain and nervous, but gradually they gained confi- dence under the guiding hand of Miss O'Connell. Perfection was at its peak as the momen- tous day arrived. Again the contestants began to feel nervous, but they were quickly reassured by the kind and soothing words of Miss O'Connell as she gave last minute instructions. There were no motion picture cameras on this particular occasion, but there were plenty of lights and action. Each of the contestants fulfilled his obligation and gave a grand performance. It was difficult to choose one as being better than the others, but the decision had to be made, and Marilyn Cameron was chosen the winner of the Swift Oratorical Contest of 1946. It is only proper that recognition be given to the other contestants who rendered such a magnificient performance by expressing their views on the Constitution of the United States.

The Junior Prom a Huge Success NE of the outstanding affairs of the year, the rnost important to the Juniors, was the Junior Prom of the class of 1947. On the evening of February eighth, more than one hundred eager couples flocked to the John C. Lynch Auditorium to enjoy a brilliant affair. The Junior Misses, elegantly dressed in soft pastels and gaily colored gowns, adorned with beautiful and varied corsages, and escorted by their dashing and gallant cav- aliers, presented a very charming picture. Also prominent on the dance Hoor were Mr. and Mrs. Higgiston and Mr. and Mrs. Metcalf. The auditorium too, as if not to be outdone by its occupants, was decked out in red, white, and blue streamers, running from the four corners of the ceiling to the center of the auditorium where they all joined a tri- colored chandelier. The windows were draped with colored streamers topped with a valance of gold stars surrounding a gold eagle which was in the center. Credit for this attractive patriotic setting goes to the Junior Dance Committee which was under the able supervision of Mr. Fred Metcalf and Miss Mafalda De Salvia. Robert Pederzoli was chairman of the committee, and he was assisted by several willing workers of the Junior Class. Leading the grand march with Albert Consigli, President of the' Class of 1947, was Betty Hixon. Oak, Lily and Ivy Seated in one corner of the hall, especially arranged for them, were the Patrons and Patronesses, the parents of the Junior Dance Committee. 1 To illustrate the importance of this event in a Juniorts life, let us recall Mr. Higgiston's announcement when we returned to school. He said that during the rush and excitement of the evening, one young man had left his hat at a local flower shopg the proprietor, anxious to return the young man's property, phoned Mr. Higgiston. Page Fifty-mne These are some of the intelligent looking boys and girls that clearly understand the great mysteries of science. Their social activities were definitely successful and very enjoyable for all who attended them. Science Club Uncovers Future Scientists IXTEEN YEARS ago Mr. Metcalf sent a notice to the junior and senior rooms, asking those interested in the formation of a science club to report to him at the close of school. That was the beginning of one of the most active, interesting, and educational clubs in the Milford High School. At the first meeting this year the following officers were elected: Fred Besozzi, Presi- dentg Philip Kimball, Vice-Presidentg Anna Pironti, Secretaryg Charles Fokas, Treasurer. The ruling body was composed entirely of seniors. The over-enthusiastic scientists braved the winds of fall, the snow and sub-zero weather of winter, and the chilly rains of spring to bring their experiments before the other members of the club. Perhaps in- spired by the spectacular development of the atom bomb, the daring young scientists of tomorrow had numberless explosions, in hope that one at least would blow up the building. But, Alas! There it stands-as sound and firm as the day it was built! Page Sixty Some interesting and somewhat original experiments were given by the junior mem- bers of the club. The Hash explosion by Wesley Garland and reflection of light by Arthur Clarridge illustrate the ingenuity of the underclassmen. Although the main purpose of the club is educational and scientific, it also functions socially, and its parties have become famous in the annals of old M.H.S. The Christmas and May parties, held in the Auditorium, were triumphant successes. How beautiful the decorations were! How carefully each detail was planned Ceven to the mistletoebl The memory of those enjoyable socials will always be cherished by both the members olfl the club and their parents who attended t em. l Mr. Metcalf, every boy and girl considers it an honor and privilege to be allowed to be a member of your club. We thank you for your untiring and enthusiastic interest in the welfare of the students.

ALI. this good feeling seems to disappear when the discussions start. Euthus- xasm is the Watchword in all the activities of the club. Debating Club HE Milford High School Debating Club after several years of inactivity has reorganized under the supervision of Mr. Gerard Sweeney, recently returned after serving in the armed forces. This year it is composed entirely of Juniors. Perhaps some of you are wondering what the purpose of the newly organized club is? Our aim is to acquaint the students with parlimentary law and public speaking. We have chosen our extra periods for our arguing timeu. Our capable director, Mr. Sweeney, is on his toes about current events which we choose for our weekly discussions. Our dean of parlimentary law, William Wrenn, has been obliged to quell our over- whelming enthusiasm more than once. Our vice-president is Eileen Dellyg Secretary, Oak, Lily and Ivy Evemarie Celozzi, and our Treasurer is Alfred De Paulo. The club, unfortunately, is sadly lacking in masculine membership, but we are sure that when our 1947 activities commence, the boys will increase our membership and add new interest to the club. On April lst, we held our first informal debate-our subject was Conscripti0n - To defend the affirmative, Mary Del Vecchio, Regina Shuber, and Alfred De Paulo did their best to hold their own until their worthy opponents, Helen Morin, Rita Aldrich, and Santo Lasorsa brought forth their arguments to win the debate. This interest and enthusiasm shown by our members is proof enough that the students are eager to make this club the success that it has been in the past.

October 27, Milford vs. Hudson at Milfordfk ITH the opening of school and football in the air, thoughts of this great sport entered the minds of enthusiastic football candidates at Milford High. After waiting anxiously for the opening day of practice, fifty candidates answered the call for their initial workout. Most of the 1945 squad had been grad- uated, thereby causing a lack of seasoned material. Besides this, they were handicap- ped by lack of experience and potential weight. However, Coach Reggie Brown and his assistant John Pacino quickly began the task of fashioning the team that would represent Milford on the field of honor. Although the team had but only a few weeks of practice, the Millbury eleven was easily disposed of by a score of 12 to 0. The margin of victory was provided by Comolli's sharpshooting two forward passes to Captain Castiglione, who gathered them in beauti- fully to run for the two touchdowns. Feeling jovial over their good showing against Millbury, the squad played host to a strong and experienced Clinton eleven. Milford was in quest of its second successive victory, and Clinton was making its bid for Page Sixtyfsix November 12, Milford vs. Framingham at Framingham. November 17, Milford vs. Maynard at Milford? November 22, Milford vs. St. Mary's at Milford. an undefeated season. With this game also began our defense of the Midland League Title. The boys played well but came home with their first defeat. The score was Clin- ton 25, Milford O. Apparently still affected by the letdown in the Clinton game, the boys did not perform satisfactorily at Natick. They picked the wrong opponent, for Natick was big, pow- erful, and tough opposition for any team. The Milford line was not charging, and the backs turned in a couple of costly fumbles. The result-Natick 32, Milford 0. Disappointed at the showing of the team against Natick, Coach Brown thoroughly shook up the team which needed speed and spirit, for its game with Marlboro. We bowed, however, to this powerful Marlboro aggregation by a two touch-down margin. Our opponent scored once in the first period and again in the third, with attempted con- versions successful both times. Although outmanned and outweighed, we were cer- tainly not outfought, and put up a stirring defensive battle, repeatedly tossing back enemy thrusts when within scoring distance. Our team was playing together for the first Milford High School time. As has 'been stated, the defensive strength. especially when deep in its own fe1'1'1f01'y, was gratifying to the Milford supporter, but on the offensive Milford was not able to click, chiefly, because its inexperienced line could not rip holes in the opposing frontier. Yet the team was not discouraged by the defeat, and needed but to improve its offense to gain more fruitful results. In our second home game of the season, we outfought a stubborn Franklin eleven on Fino Field. The final score was 12 to 7. Milford scored twice--once as a result of Comolli's pass to Petrini and once again when Captain Castiglione intercepted a Franklin reverse and ran into the end zone for our second touchdown of the game. Mil- ford showed its first signs of real offensive strength as it rolled over two touchdowns. Milford, for the first time this year, showed an offense to go along with its splendid defense. Our next two defeats were at the hands of Hudson and Framingham. The scores of these two games were 18 to 0 and 26 to 0 respectively. Pete Sanchione of Milford played a brilliant game at Framingham, making hard, clean tackles that sent rival ball carriers staggering. In the last Midland League clash of the season, Milford was compelled to divide the spoils with Maynard. After clearly demon- strating her superiority over her rival in every department, she could garner no more than a 0-0 deadlock. Continuing her slashing play, Milford had no trouble defeating St. Mary's in her last regular game. The score was 13 to O. Our line deserves credit for the strong defensive game it played in stopping the heavy St. Mary backs. Petrini and Captain Castiglione, the ends, stripped the ball carriers of their interference by fine rolling blocksg Macchi and Sanchione were unyielding at tackle, Besozzi and Bob Consigli turned in their best performance of the season. Bibbo and Jim Whelen, backing up the line, jarred the Saint's ball carriers with their savage tackles. Al Consigli played his usual depen- dable game at the blocking back position while Jack Paganelli, in addition to scoring one of our touchdowns, played a good game offensively and defensively. This was his best performance of the year. Thus ends another season. We are proud to say that the Milford team played cour- ageously, and went down fighting against overwhelming odds. With at least eight veterans returning next Fall, the outlook of 1946 is bright, and to the graduating mem- bers of the 1945 football team, we extend our congratulations for their untiring efforts in the performance of their duties to the best of their ability. To Manager Dave Tredeau and his assist- ants who struggled cheerfully in all kinds of weather with helmets, tackling equipment, and other equipment of the game, we offer our sincere thanks. Usually a coach is worried that graduation will take its usual amount of fighting men from the squad, but such is not the case next season. We have some excellent material which should produce some good results and bring home many victories when we once again hear the referee's whistle announcing the arrival of the 1946 football season.

Pete Sanchione, Hal Castiglione, Bob Pederzoli, and Vin Iadarola came up from the Junior Varsity to complete the team. Coach Vin Dagnese began early in December the task of whipping his quintet into shape to tackle a stiff schedule. After weeks of strenuous practice, the Dagnese machine drubbed Hopkinton in the initial game by a score of 61 to 30, and proved that it was capable of making up in speed what it lacked in height. The Milford High basketeers fought through a sixteen game series, coming through with six victories and ten defeats. During the month of January injuries and illness hampered the effectiveness of the players.

Mary's. It was Coach Vin Dagnese who piloted Milford High to its first town basketball championship since the inauguration of the series with St. Mary's in 1932. With our traditional town rival Milford basketball fans witnessed two thrilling Closely contested games in which both teams fought fiercely and staged brilliant per- formances. But both times Milford emerged victoriously. In our initial game with St, lVlary's, an underrated Milford High team Jumped into an early lead and staved off a fourth period rush to overcome the Winter Street aggregation by a score of 34 to 30 A crowd of more than 1000 jampacked iiqto Milford High School the John C. Lynch Auditorium and saw a superbly functioning Milford High quintet dominate the scoring from the opening whistle. Left forward, Vin Iadarola, paced the Milford High scoring attack with 15 points, and the rangy Bob Pederzoli, operating from center, contributed 11 points to the winning cause. The sputtering St. Mary's attack started to click in the stretch run as they poured 15 points through the hoop, but the fast-breaking style of play employed by the Red and White players continued to pay, and their 10 point inning was enough to provide the winning margin over previously unbeaten St. Mary's. St. Mary's, trying des- perately to cut Milford High's lead, was under the basket shooting as the second half opened, but a well poised Milford High team, refusing to rattle, never let the Saints get set. St. Maryis had been pressing hard through-out the third canto, but Milford's close-guarding tactics and checking in the front court forced the Saints to long and ineffectual shooting. Meanwhile, Milford High was doing a line job of controlling the ball until it could maneuver for lay-up shots. This Milford High team, winner of only two of its previous eight starts, earned its triumph well in the final period as the Saints made a desperate bid to overcome the lead. As the tension mounted, the deadly shooting of Pederzoli and ladarola accounted for 10 points to keep the Saints at bay. The banishment of Pederzoli and Castiglione added pressure to the Milford team as the Saints fought their hearts out right down to the final whistle, but the Dagnesemen rode away with a well-earned victory. Our second game with the Saints was in- teresting, and had the referees on their toes throughout the entire contest. Although it was a rather rough and tumble affair, it was enjoyed equally well by the players and the spectators. The score was rather close throughout the game, but Milford made a final spurt toward the end of the affray, and it was sufficient to give us the few needed points for victory. Thus a 14-year quest for a town basketball title ended for Milford High in State Armory as they beat OH a determined bid by St. Mary's to score a 44 to 37 victory in a thrill-packed game wit- nessed by 1000 fans. It was the brilliant shooting of Captain Vic Comolli and Pete Sanchione, who incidentally played his best game of the season, that assured Milford of this much needed victory. After the game the team presented Coach Dagnese a gift for his splendid work during the season, and Captain Vic Comolli, who sparked Milford High to its first series' win over St. Mary's, was awarded the Theodore Tusoni Memorial trophy for being the outstanding player of the series. Highest scoring honors for the year go to Captain Vic Comolli, but the rest of the starting five, Pete Sanchione, Hal Castig- lione, Bud Bibbo, and Bob Pederzoli, all contributed in a great measure to the success of the season, while the brilliant defensive play of Hal Castiglione was one of the outstanding features of almost every game. Prospects for next season are fairly bright, as two varsity members, Pederzoli and Bibbo, will return to form the basis of next year's starting five. The 1945 season, though not especially successful in regard to victories, produced again the spirit and determination which has always been shown in the basketball teams of Milford High, and our hopes are prevalent that a representative will carry on successfully in the future.

Favored by an early spring approximately tifty-five enthusiastic candidates from Freshman to Senior classes turned out to play the game that has always been so popular with the boys at Milford High School. A substantial nucleus remained of the 1945 team so prospects for another good team appeared bright. Of course ball players like Hank Iacovelli, Chuck Votolato, Joe Graziano and Hank Bianchi cannot be lost without considerable effect, but at the pres- ent writing competent boys seem to have taken over their several chores without too much loss of eiiiciency. After a couple weeks' ground work it became clearly evident that the new infield of Tony Oliva at third, Hal Castiglione at short, Pat Iacovelli at second and Captain Pete Sanchione at lirst would leave little to Page Seventy Baseball Schedule May 25, Milford vs. Hudson at Hudson.

In the outfield Phil Kimball, Sisto Petrini and Santo Lasorsa gave great promise of taking care of the outer pastures successfully. Pitchers Jim Giacumuzzi, Hal Boerger, Charlie Liberatore and Fran De Manche began to shape up well. Coach Brucato inserted Vic Comolli behind the plate. With his powerful throwing arm and hitting ability, he gave evidence of capably taking care of the job. After a few practice games with the Soda Shoppe and Wellesley, wherein the team performed satisfactorily for that stage of the season, the squad was ready to take the Held to begin one of the longest and strongest schedules ever to be attempted by a Milford High School team. The 1946 baseball team will set out to uphold the reputation of M.H.S. It is evident that they will suffer defeat, but with their spirit, teamwork and knowledge gained through experience, they will nobly defend the school color. Milford High School Let us go down the roster and see how 0111185 really shape up. Catchers:-Vic Camel Comolli, a senior and veteran. Played regularly the last two years. A smart receiver, a good thrower and getting better at bat with each game. He has a future in baseball if he keeps plugging. Bob Capuzziello, a sophomore, first year on the squad, shows promise of becoming a real ball player. First Base:-Captain Pete Sanchione, a Senior and veteran. A better boy could not be captain, a steady, dependable fielder and hitter and one who receives the co-opera- tion and respect of all his team mates. Second Base:-Pat Iacovelli, a Senior and veteran, this is Pat's second year as a regular. Pat is the smallest but one of the fastest members of the squad. Third Base:-Tony 'iBabe Oliva, a Jun- ior, first year on the squad. Oliva is a smart courageous athlete and a coach's player- hard working, cooperative and dependable. Babe will do well in anything he under- takes. Short Stop:-Hal Castiglione, a Senior and veteran, played third base last year but was moved to short to steady the infield. He has done just that and looks better in every game. Hal is the most versatile mem- ber of the squad and can do a good job in about any position. Left Field:-Phil Kimball, a Senior and veteran. Phil is possessed of a very accurate arm. He also has that rare ability at the plate to come through in the clutch. Center Field:-Sisto Petrini, a Junior, and first year on the squad. He has taken over the position with surprising and encourag- ing aptitude. Shows signs of becoming a powerful hitter. Right Field:-Santo Lasorsa, a Junior and veteran. He caught some last year, but was moved out to the outfield to utilize his hit- ting power. Pitchers:-Jim Giacumuzzi, a Freshman, seems evident that he will be one of the most dependable pitchers we have had in a long time. Hal Boerger, a Freshman, a southpaw, Hal combines control with a good hook to get by the hitters. Seems to be our most con- sistent fireman . Looks like he's due for a good year. Fran De Manche, a freshman, first year man, small but strong, with good control and a nice curve. Should get by. Charlie Liberatore, a sophomore, first year man. Has a fine build for a pitcher. Will develop. Behind these regulars stand Elliott, De Santis, Pederzoli, Webber, Tetlow and De Melio ready to step in and do their bit if the necessity arises. The art of hooking the bag is being pointed out by Coach Brucato with Captain Sanchioni as the subject. while other seniors on the club observe the demonstration. They are Shipwreck, Camel, Doc and Phil . Page Seventy-one Mr'lford High Srhool Girl Bosketeers Enjoy Hoop Season ITH the organizing of girls intramural basketball early in January, girl bas- keteers were on the court every Wed- nesday and Friday afternoon shooting baskets under the supervision of Coach Charlie Brucato. Fifty candidates from the four classes were divided into four teams with Ann Coniaris, Mary Carey, Rita Don- nelly, Gloria Abbondanza, captain of the Gorillas, Zombies, Slick Chicks, and Powder Puffs respectively. The shrieks and con- stant shrill notes of the referee's Whistle echoing through the corridors indicated the players' enthusiasm, and their spirit of rivalry was high in every minute of the game. The girls' method of play varied from that of the boys. They have six instead of five players on their team, the extra player being called the side center. They were restricted to certain zones, and only the forwards had scoring opportunities. - This year's games were restricted to Page Seuenly-Iwo intramural contests. The one exception Was the game played with the Girls Alumnae. A Girls Varsity team was formed to play against the graduates. This was the only time they played before an audience, and it was a Wednesday night preliminary. But the experience of the graduates proved to be too much for the Varsity and even the speed and skill of Captain Mary Carey and Mary Hickey were unable to halt the mounting score of the Alumnae. On the court, how- ever, they showed remarkable form which both surprised and pleased the onlookers. They were certainly out there trying to look their best-that we must say in their favor. To Coach Brucato, credit and thanks are due for his faithful cooperation on behalf of the sport enthusiasts of the fairer sex. In closing, we wish Good Luck to all future and former girls Basketeers, who showed much pleasure and enthusiasm in this sport.

Second row-Ferelli, Tosches, Callery, P. McCausland, Coach Brucato, Pesota, Lasorsa and Palmeiri. Sharpshooters Win M. H. S. Hoop Crown INISHING the season with a record of eight wins against one loss, the Sharpshooters have captured the Mil- ford High School Intramural basketball league title. On the fourth of January, Coach Charles Brucato sounded his initial call for boy basketeers who wished to play intramural basketball. On that day fifty candidates from all classes reported. The first few days were spent organizing the league. Coach Brucato announced that games were to be played every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Later, six teams were formed with Nick Pacella, Fran Pessotti, Ed Ghelli, Ray McCausland, George Torosian, and Howard Celley elected captain of each of the following respective teams: the Sharpshooters, Bluejays, Bruins, Aces, Fins, and Mooch's Dogs. Just how they ar- rived at the names, we don't know. U Because of his lively playing, Captain Nick Pacella aided the Sharpshooters in chalking up eight Wins Cagainst one defeatb, a record which could not be matched by any other team in the league. Another outstand- ing player was highscoring Pat Iacovelli, Co-Captain of the Sharpshooters. Other prominent athletes were Dick Howarth of the Bruins, Paul McCausland of the Aces, Paul Mastroianni of the Fins, Nate Grillo of Mogchlg Dogs, and Tony Palmieri of the victorious Sharpshooters. Oak, 'Lily and Ivy The Sharpshooters lost no time in annex- ing the crown, racking up victories in their first four tilts defeating the Aces C33-39, the Bruins C20-195, the Fins C43-155, and the Bluejays C37-173 in rapid succession, before dropping a contest to the Aces. The Aces were out seeking vengeance on the Sharp- shooters because of the drubbing received in their initial game, The Aces had their day sinking baskets from all angles of the court, while the Sharpshooters were taking their first setback. After this defeat, the Sharpshooters went on to take their next four contests. They gave a good account of themselves by top- pling all opposition that was in their remaining scheduled games, winning all by big margins. Members of the winning team are: Captain Nick Pacella, Co-Captain Pat lacovelli, Tony Palmieri, Santo Lasorsa, Charles Liberto, Paul Berry, Bob Callery, Frank Ferrante, and Cag Verrelli.
