Now, on the eve of her retirement, after forty-three years of service, the school has lost an excellent teacher — but her students have not lost her true friendship. With great appreciation, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Eight dedicate this sixty-fourth edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy to Mary B. Ford — a competent instructor and beloved friend. 6 Mldd Masuf, fi. fyosid 7 I $ 1 i 1 I tyosiewosui This, the sixty-fourth edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy, is but one in a long and traditional chain of annual publications which have been produced at this school, through the years. It is our sincerest desire that, out of these many praise-worthy volumes, that of the class of 1948 shall be predominant. This, however, may not he possible because of the many obstacles we have encountered. How then can we judge the merits of our book? How can we determine the success or failure of our endeavor? If this book can bring some happy memory back to brighten the day of but one old grad; if it can bring a smile to but one face; a tear to but one eye; if, in the years to come, some member of the class of ’48 in gazing through its pages, can live again but one of his happy scliooltime days; we will have fulfilled our purpose.

We present to you the body of people directly responsible for our schools, the members of our School Committee. This select group of people makes the rules and regulations of the schools by which each and every student must abide. We point with pride to these conscientious, intelligent, and capable directors of our school system. With this outstanding group of leaders at the helm, we are confident that education shall proceed along a smooth and steady course as they continue to direct our public school system in a capable, efficient, and impartial manner. We realize that they have our best interests at heart and that their efforts on our behalf are endless. This issue of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy affords us an excellent opportunity to ex¬ press to them our sincere appreciation. We also wish to express our gratitude to our superintendent, Mr. David I. Davoren. As our principal for one year we were fortunate to enjoy his guidance, friendship, and assist¬ ance. Now as our superintendent we continue to enjoy, though indirectly, that same warmth of spirit and co-operation. We certainly appreciate all his past and present endeavors on our behalf. 10 6u i Capable £upe iintendent o-fj Scltooli 3 i ectd the.

Davoren, has shown a great interest in his responsibilities — for he has many. The general supervision of all Milford public schools is a task that reqcires integrity and patience. However Mr. Davoren ' s good humor and ability to win the confidence of all the students has made him everyone ' s friend. Although only appointed to his new position has proven himself a competent and trust¬ worthy leader. Despite the fact that he is extremely amiable, he always believes in maintaining rigid discipline. An ardent sports fan, Mr. Davoren is constantly prepared to give a lusty cheer for Milford High School. His encourage¬ ment to the teams has spurred tfie players on to many a victory. These admirable qualities, together with many others, exemplify the undying spirit, everlasting enthusiasm, and fitness to office which Mr. Davoren demonstrates at all times. We who are leaving Milford High will long remember our superintend¬ ent for his beneficial advice. a short time ago, our capable superintendent Our Superintendent ' s capable secretary.

Mr. Joseph Tosches ' efforts in making valuable additions to the program of studies, his in¬ terest in developing constructive extra-curricular activities, and deep concern in improving the status of the students, have resulted in many beneficial innovations and the fond admira¬ tion and high esteem of the student body. This sincere man has an unruffled de¬ meanor and a grave attitude which give evidence of the fact that he is a deep thinker. Our principal is an amiable per¬ son who is always on hand to hear our grievances and gripes as we come storm¬ ing into his office. Then, too, he is help¬ ful in solving our problems and always willing to give us his sound advice. We shall always remember the pleasant in¬ formal chats and the more serious dis¬ cussions we have held with him. We feel sure that we have .enriched our charac¬ ters and our experience by our associa¬ tion with Mr. Tosches as our principal and friend. 12 We aAe Pn ud ojj oun.

Just one look at this photo of admirable teachers confirms cur opinion that they are the most intelligent and the most understanding people we know. Somehow we instinctively realize all their heroic qualities. For don ' t we recognize persistence and perseverance as they try to pound, with the force of incessant repetition, knowledge into our heads? And don ' t we perceive their tolerance when they see our blank expressions? And don ' t they prove that they ' re intelligent and understanding when we present our feeble excuses? Yes! In doing so, they set for us a perfect formula for success and happiness. In our hearts there lies a certain admiration, respect, and affection for these teachers whom we have worked with for four years. As authoritative elders we respect them as cultured teachers and co-operative friends we admire them. They can never know how much we appreciate all that they have done for us. They can never know how we have profited under their instruction. Leaving M.H.S. means leaving them. But we will take with us, into the future, all that they have taught. 13 Whether it be in his capacity of adminis¬ trator or that of a classroom teacher we have found our assistant principal always ready to lend a helpful and guiding hand. Modern education now recognizes co-curricular activ¬ ities as a primary function of the high school program to Mr. Higgiston has been en¬ trusted the management of the vast amount of funds involved in these transactions. Mr. Moran is our director of guidance. He gave us immeasurable help in finding positions and applying for them. For those of us who are going further to school, his great library of pamphlets was always at our disposal. Con¬ stantly he helped us in deciding what type of future we could expect after graduation. 14 Mr. Sweeney has been our director of audio¬ visual education. His have been the duties of arranging for the presentation of films which are related to the classroom work in each subject- matter field. The area of audio-visual education is comparatively new, but M.H.S. has made great strides and future plans would indicate even more important improvements in the years to come. Mrs. Breault is our sympathetic school nurse. She cured all our cuts and bruises, in order to keep us from missing any of our classes. In this respect, of course, she was a great help to Mr. Vesperi, our attendance officer. Mr. Vesperi also is in charge of our cafeteria, which is quite a job in itself.

Everyone was working under pressure — the pressure of time. Suddenly the startling ring of the telephone seemed to snap the tension. It was our photographer with the good news that each new flash of his camera had brought a clear, harmonious picture. Seated before a desk covered with shiny, glossy pictures, the fatigued photo-editor received this informa¬ tion with relief and delight. The caption committee heard nothing for they were engrossed in an argument concerning a suitable title Presiding over this turmoil and progress were affable Mr. Higgiston and Mr. Sweeney, who so nobly stuffed their cars with O.L.I. material ready for the printer, and who guided the committee with their advice which has proven to be invaluable. Yes, the colorful pages of this book certainly reflect the diligent work of a skillful committee and their co-opera¬ tive advisers. Since the group was ap¬ pointed in January, 1948, they set out, almost simultaneously, to create this book of the memories we cherish. They ardently desire to make this O.L.I. an outstanding edition to be proud of. Into this book has gone, therefore, their sin- cerest efforts. The class of 1949 will have to produce an extraordinary edi¬ tion to beat this one!! fo the photo of the O. L. I.

The Senior Week Committee, headed by co-chairmen Edward Mitchell and Marie Del Cas¬ tello, planned an adventurous week for the members of the senior class. This year the activities are more entertaining than ever before or probably ever shall be. It gets off to a start with a day of exciting races and contests. As this program draws to a close, we wonder if we will ever recuperate. We do, somehow, and now comes . . . Senior Night and the dedication of the OAK, LILY, and IVY to Miss Mary B. Ford, ,our kindly teacher who helped bring us to our night of nights . . . Graduation night! Nervously squirming in our seats on the stage, we wait for our diplomas, those slips of paper that make us graduates and sends us on to the ex¬ citement of preparation for our . . . Annual outing. This is the day we can enjoy to the fullest the companionship of our fellow classmates. And now the week is brought to an end with . . . The Alumni Banquet and our introduc¬ tion into the Alumni Association of the Milford High School. As we ponder over the past week, we know we have said: ' ' Goodbye.

Member Here we have the Student Council gathered after a meeting to decide on some new attraction for an Assembly Program. 1 he purpose ol the Student Council is to give the pupils a part in governing themselves. Any member has the right to bring to the attention of the council any suggestion or question which he may wish to have discussed. These matters are thoroughly talked over at the meetings and then voted upon. Our constitution was drawn up this way, and often it was approved by Mr. Tosches, it was submitted to the students and voted upon by the entire student body. During the year the Student Council sponsored many socials and parties. Probably the most enjoyable was our Christmas party, which was held on the day before our holidays began. The Student Council also presented four programs with outside talent. These, too, were well received.

The Handbook Committee is about to publish, for the first time, a book to be distributed to all incoming students. This should be a help to anyone unfamiliar with the high school be¬ cause it lists the names of all faculty members, the various clubs, a diagram of each floor, the rules and regulations by which the school is governed, and other valuable information which all students should know. The committee the four classes, and meetings are held weekly in the school library. At the fourth meeting of the Handbook Com¬ mittee, the following students were elected to office: Alfred Foglio, Chair¬ man; Eleanor Oliva, Editor; John Maz- zone, Assistant Editor: Joseph Harris, Circulation Manager; Eleanor Johnson, Secretary. This type of book has proven very helpful to freshmen in other schools and it is to be hoped that it will be of assistance to the pupils here. It is some¬ thing that should make their entrance into high school a little easier. The members of the OAK, LILY, and IVY staff wish you luck with your book, and we feel sure that it will have the success it deserves. is composed of students chosen from each of The Handbook Committee of the Student Council with adviser, Mr. Harold Moran. 55 74c r l (+t ' iu ifLa ' i ' ied £ntliu4.ia4,m ojj Ite 2 Gi icala 2) ante Predicted ifo Succe fjul SeaAo-n THE DANTE CLUB SENIORS — First Row: P.

This Salvia. year II Circolo Dante was again organized under the direction of Miss Mafalda De- A large group of enthusiastic students attended the first meeting and signified their intention of becoming active members of this inter¬ esting club. These people were elected to office: President, Anthony Micelotti; Vice President, Eleanor Oliva; Secretary, Jeanne Tocci; Treasurer, John Covino. The primary purpose of II Circolo Dante is to pro¬ mote a knowledge of and an interest in that sunny warm, and historic Mediterranean country, Italy, through the study of its language. We have all learned vaguely about the romantic canals of Venice, the moonlight shining on the ruins of the Coliseum, the lovely northern valleys ringed with the snow-covered Alps, but until we studied the liquid Italian language, we could not appreciate the beauty of these things. The language reveals the beauty of Italy, the greatness of her artists and painters, and the antiquity of her civilization. This year we wish to extend a sincere welcome to Miss Philomena Colavita, a newcomer to our faculty. We hope she will be as successful in her teaching Italian as her predecessors have been. To Miss DeSaivia go our thanks for a very interesting year. bb GluA. - cM-gA a Ue.

The French Club, or Le Cercle de Jean D ' Arc, enjoyed another successful year under the capable guidance of Miss Margaret Pianca. This is the twentieth year of the club ' s exist¬ ence, and it has grown in stature and importance with each year. Our first meeting, held on the last Friday of September, was devoted to the election of the following officers: President, Nicholas Cashorali: Vice- President, Ann Niro; Treasurer, Anthony Mooradian; Sec¬ retary, Claire Mazzarelli. This meeting was the one we had looked forward fo, for membership in fhe club is re¬ stricted to seniors studying third year French. The club met on the last Friday of each month, and be¬ fore each meeting a chairman was appointed to direct the program for the next meeting. These programs were always very interesting. We discussed, in French, the many bocks we had read in class, we acted out many humorous playlets, and we enthusiastically sang all the French songs we had learned to sing to the accompani ment of Miss Joan Glennon, our capable pianist. Our grateful thanks go to Miss Pianca, our adviser, for an enjoyable year. Without her interest and instruction we probably would never have learned so much about France and her people.

How we love to sing Drei Herzen , Die Lorelei and many other German folk songs. The most enjoyable part of the whole program is when Fraulein Pianca begins to talk. She entrances us with her tales of the Germany she knew and loved. We have learned so much about the customs, manners, and people of that interesting country. Fraulein Pianca also intro¬ duced us to German taste in food when she made us some of her famous Apfelkuchen (apple-cake to you). We also spent a very interesting evening at Lasell Junior College, when, at the invitation of a former classmate, we attended a German program there. If, when we leave school, we remember anything at all of German, it will be because of Fraulein Pianca ' s efforts in our behalf. To her we Dunkeschon. 58 7Ae £ini.tec+t ' L M. S.

Marie Luisetti, Vice President — Nicholas Cushorali, Secretary - John Mazzone, Treusurei — Attilio Pedroli, President This year marks the eighteenth anniversary of the Junior Science Club supervised by Mr. Fred Metcalf whose untiring efforts have made this interesting and valuable organizations in the school. Our meetings are held every third Monday evening at the high school. At the first meeting, held in Novem¬ ber, the following officers were elected: President, Attilio Pedroli; Vice-President, Marie Luisetti; Secretary, Nicholas Gashorali; Treasurer, John Mazzone. The chief aim of the club is to stimulate an interest in science by showing that science can be a fascinat¬ ing subject if properly approached.. At each meeting the members gave short talks on some of the latest scientific developments. We also listened to instruc¬ tive lectures and saw interesting motion pictures. Some¬ times the members themselves conducted experiments for us. These activities were followed by discussions in which the members took part. While the aim of our club was to encourage an in¬ terest in science, we did not neglect the social side of our high school days. Our Christmas and May parties were noted for their gayety and charm. Every detail for decoration and entertainment had been worked out beforehand, so that the club members and their guests experienced a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The members of the Junior Science Club will always be grateful to Mr. Metcalf, our adviser. It was an honor and a privilege to work with him. .

By our membership in this club, we feel that we all will be better citizens of tomorrow. One of the most important features of the organization is our monthly pub¬ lication, The Commercial Club Paper. This paper contains articles of interest to students, short sto ries, accounts of all school activities and, of course, the popular Buzz ' column. We hope that the Commercial Club will continue to flourish, and that future students will get as much enjoyment and benefit from it as we have. To Miss Burns go our heartiest thanks for her interest and supervision. 60 7be Miuit iel Slto-w- Gait Received Much P aiie tf-on, 9ti Qutitaudiruj, Pe’lfjQ ' imance Here we see the cast of the Minstrel Show taking a curtain call after a success¬ ful performance. Our Editor-in-Chief David McGill served as interlocutor. David McGill, our interlocutor for the second time, was at his best. The five endmen, Joseph Harris, Paul MacCausland, Robert Granger, Paul Mastroianni, George Torosian, and end- lady, Nancy Pacella, kept the audience chuckling with their jokes and songs. . The enthusiastic chorus supplied some of the background for the vocal solos, ably rendered by Norma Calzone, Beverly Miller, Catherine Moore, Carol Tredeau, Olga Diomedes, Rose Marie Balconi, the Milani twins, Michael Berardi and Walter Bradanick. Dancers Barbara Mitchell, Marilyn Tessicini and Louis Bertonazzi re¬ ceived their share of oraise, as did accor¬ dionists Margaret Bozzini and Claire Macchi, and drummer Lloyd MacCaus¬ land. However, the highlights of the evening were the skit with Michael DePasquale and Norry Lessard, the Beef Trust song with Ricco Niro, Robert Morelli, Joseph Oneschuk and Fat Lady Robert Erickson, the quartet of Clem Moran. Anthony Fer¬ raro, Francis Alberto and Michael DePas¬ quale. Robert Julian as Donald Duck was outstanding.

Many thanks to Miss Dorcas Whipple and Miss Norma Lombardi, class of ' 49, for the excellent background. Under the supervision of Mr. Alex Di Giannantonio, our annual special chorus was duly or¬ ganized. Comprised of forty members from the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes, this group was formed for the purpose of taking part in school activities and to repre¬ sent the Milford High School occasionally in public appearances. Mr. DiGiannantcnio, Supervisor of Music It can and must be heartily said that this group was indeed a definite suc¬ cess and a great credit to the Milford High School. Sacrificing their time and attention to this project, the participants gave their all to help Mr. DiGiannantonio make this a success and a credit to the Mil¬ ford High School. As a result of incessant practices, this group was able to display a splendid exhibition of entertainment in our Christmas Party. With the singing of carols by this chorus, those who at¬ tended could not but feel more strongly the spirit of Christmas. This group also displayed its fine work by singing Christmas carols over the public address system at the Cham¬ ber of Commerce for the enjoyment of the public. 62 Qua Studeuii Jliiteued Plo-udly gA.

Under the capable guidance and direction of Mr. Ben C. Lancisi, our band has carried the name of our school to bigger and newer crowds in Milford and surrounding towns. The sea¬ son got off to a different start when the band was asked to appear at the Football Jamboree along with the school ' s team. Feeling proud and displaying all its color and skill, the band was welcomed with nothing short of a cloudburst. Retreating to prepare for regular football games, the band was next reauested to perform at the Statler Hotel in Boston for the Auto¬ motive Convention. Looking its best, the band appeared and was acclaimed by all present as a truly wonderful or¬ ganization. The next appearance was at Braves Field in honor of Milford ' s ' ' Hank ' ' Camelli. The packed stadium cheered very enthusiastically when our band took to the field. With the closing of the football sea¬ son the band prepared for its annual concert. This concert was to be an out¬ standing affair as a finale to a great season. The concert included such selections as The Student Prince Over¬ ture ' ' , Stardust , and solos by Norry Lessard and Michael De Pasguale. All who attended were oleased with the program and remained for dancing. The final touch was out on when the band completed its season with the Memorial and Flag Day exercises.

OUR EAGER AND ENERGETIC FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Seated: G. DiVittorio, Secretary Edward Trant, President Standing: A. Manbucca, Treasurer I. Tumolo, Vice President 7lie Stain,4AJGUf, ta fjuAtice The snow swirled and danced around the tall, powerful figure of Frank Younqson as he hurried along the white-blanketed streets of Littleton. From the square cut of Frank ' s chin,even the casual observer could see that he was a man of determination. In fact, since the death of his father a decade before, Frank had labored until he now enjoyed the honor of being the town ' s leading lawyer. Some of the citizens of the community had been heard to suspect un¬ lovely depths in his character, but the majority admired and even envied a little his success and prosperity. As he neared the large white house designed by his illustrious father, he hurried faster, partly because of the inspiration given him by the sight of his home, and partly be¬ cause of the snow which the wind was blowing down under his collar. He turned into the pathway that led to his door, and stopped dead. There from the window of the room on the third floor that had been his father ' s study shone a light! Frank could not believe what his eyes told him was a fact! How could a light of any sort shine from a house that had no inhabitants other than himself? He was the only one who had a key. How could anyone get in? The snow still fell on Frank ' s blond head as he walked swiftly along the walk that led to the door. Then he cautiously tried the knob. It twisted in his hand. The door was unlocked! Frank opened the door all the way back to the wall. Non one was there! He stepped onto the tile that made up the design of the hall floor. He closed the door quietly, then started slowly up the circular staircase. This staircase had been especially designed and built without any landings and rose in a spiral for three flights. The stairs encircled a well in the center of the spiral that rose about thirty feet from the tiled floor of the hall to the stair before the entrance of the study. Frank clicked the light switch. No light! Excitedly he flipped the button back and forth. Terror gripped his soul. He started to run toward the door, but stopped suddenly. Something had moved a few feet in front of him! What was it? He grappled for the flashlight that was on the keychain in his pocket. He fumbled with the switch. Light! He flashed the beam in the direction of the movement. Two eyes caught the beam and reflected it. It was only a cat! Frank sighed. He was quite relieved. Only now did he feel the cold sweat rolling down his back. Why was he frightened? He know. That eerie light he had seen in the library window! He set out again to climb the stairs. He still worried about the failure of the lights, but he tried to smooth over this uneasiness with the thought that perhaps, in the storm, a power lme had been destroyed. He climbed more slowly as he came closer to the door of the study. He could see the same mysterious light. It seemed to be right in the center of the room. He sum¬ moned every ounce of courage that was left in him, and pushed open the door. As he did, his face twisted into a mask of fear and horror. He leaped back. A scream of terror was muffled in his throat. 68 No!, Not you! You can ' t be here! You ' re dead! Dead! With my own hands I pushed you over this rail! You ' re a qhost! Why do you glow like that? Keep away from me! Keep away from me! Keep away! No! No! Frank bounced away farther and farther. At the bannister he stumbled. For a moment he swayed between the stairs and eternity. Then he fell. Down, down, down thirty feet to the tile of the floor far below. His scream echoed and re-echoed ' round the spiraling staircase. It crept up each stair and died out in the nooks and corners of the upper floors of the house. Once more silence reigned in the home of Frank Youngson. Next morning Henry van der Schmidt, the town portrait painter, was speaking to the phar¬ macist in the little corner drug store. Did you hear about Frank? The druggist agreed that he had, and added that he had heard that it was a gruesome accident. Henry paused a moment in pensive silence, then said, Yes, too bad. Why just yesterday afternoon I got a key and went into his house. I put a full-length painting of his father in the study. Painted it in luminous paint, too. Then I took the fuse from the box to make sure that it would be dark so that he could see it shine. Yes, too bad. I bet he never even got a chance to see it. Poor Frank, he always has had the worst luck. Sidney DeBoer 48. WHY I LOVE FRANCAIS I take my French book home each night: Quelle guerre and c ' est la vie! I guess I ' ll never speak it right; It seems ires hard to me. Je struggle with the verb avoir. And etre is a bore; But I care not if I don ' t savoir ' Cause I have found l ' amour. L ' amour is in my salle de classe; L ' amour is six-foot-trois. And I don ' t care if I don ' t pass: He sits prochain de moi. I know I ' ll never parle francais I don ' t know what to do; But I can ' t even parle anglais When he winks his eyes of blue. I ' ll never talk like Mademoiselle; Those verbs — I hate les formes. But I know a secret I can tell: He ' s asked me to the prom. Marie Luisetti ' 48 HYMN TO A SOLDIER To him who fought on battlefields I bow my head in solemn praise. To him who never failed to shield Our great American Democracy My tearful eyes I raise. To him, so weary and unsung, My thanks since we are free from harm. To him who spared both old and young The grim realities of war [ dedicate this psalm. Alberta Mazzarelli, ' 48 LEADERS OF OUR SOPHOMORE CLASS Seated: Earl Nelson, President Dorothy D ' Alesio, Vice President Standing: Regina Bianchi, Secretary William Kearnan, Treasurer 69 Well, shiver my timbers! I really feel sad: How perfect are men Who look out from an ad! How free are their figures And features from flaws, How broad are their shoulders, How square are their jaws! What drape to their jackets, What taste to their hats! How cleverly chosen Their flashy cravats! PROSPECTIVE GROOMS What charm is revealed In their radiant grins. How exquisitely formed Are their stubble-free chins! But listen, fair maiden! You ' ll meet with defeat If you think you might see Such a type on the street. Tho ' intentions are good, Please let them taper, For such grand perfection Exists only on paper! Edward Mitchell ' 48 ON SNORING It was night. All of the household were in their beds. Quiet reigned supreme. One by one the inhabitants of the dwelling closed their eyes and journeyed into dreamland. Soon even the father of the family was reclining in the arms of Morpheus. (I wonder whose arms Mor¬ pheus reclines in.) Then it began. From out of Father ' s room came a long, deep, crescendo tone resembling an old Ford starting up. This was followed by a whistling shriek, which can be compared only with the noise emitted by vampire bats. From Mother ' s abode came a sweeter but nevertheless bothersome repetition of her spouse ' s music. Upstairs, Junior, dreaming about the cute blonde down the street, gave out with the proverbial woodsawing noise accompanied by a coquettish laughing sound apparently made with his mouth closed. And I in the next room lay tossing and turning in my supposedly sound proof chamber, trying to escape that infernal snoring. This same procedure has been occurring in my home every night for as long as I can remember. In the beginning, only my father was a member of The Exalted Order of Sleep Disturbers. But his affliction must have been infectious, for soon the whole family, excepting me of course, was inducted into this organization ' s ranks. Why, it has got so that even our cat snores. Once, a veteran of the Anzio campaign in the recent war stayed overnight at our house. At two o ' clock he woke up screaming and started digging a foxhole under his bed. When he was brought back to reality, he professed with a white face, Those snores and whistles soun¬ ded just like screaming meemies ' (a special type of German shell) coming in.” From this revelation we can see that Papa doesn ' t snore quietly. Whenever anyone goes by my house, he notices that it is closely surrounded by several other houses. He might suppose that this arrangment is due to a car eless housebuilder. The real reason is this: The intake of air by my snorers in the early periods of their noisemaking has slowly sucked all the surrounding houses closer. If I accuse any members of my family of having snored, they always indignantly deny the charge. They say, We snore? You ' re crazy. It ' s yourself that you hear snoring. Hmph! The nerve of them! Trying to tell me I snore. Boy, it ' s getting late now, and I ' m beginning to get drowsy. I guess I won ' t write - much more. Might as well — ho hum, put out — the light and try to, ho hum, sleep—if they don ' t start snoring. Hmmm. Yes, if they ' d only not snore —I ' d always get my ho hum, sleep. Well, anyway I know that I don ' t hmmm snore. Nope, hmm, not me z z z z z z z Paul Kratzsch ' 48 OUR JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS There ' s happiness on their faces, ' cause next year they ' ll fill our places. Seated: J. Mazzone, President I.

THE SUNSET The crimson ruby starts to slowly sink Beneath the distant undulating pines; It bathes the fluffy clouds in pastel pink, And showers mossy knolls with garnet wines. The lavish universal king pours too A warming flood of striking vivid dyes: A lovely lilac, amethystine blue. He glorifies a ceiling of grey skies! A sea of lavender is serenely still Around this dazzling crimson ball of fire, Oh, intoxicating, blinding beauty, fill My soul, and linger while I hungrily admire! The ruby blazes with a flaming flush From incessant climbing on its sapphire way; The brilliant splendor sheds a peaceful hush, The rosy blessing from the dying day. A placid limpid lake of green reflects The radiant August sky in mirror cool; A mellowed but yet glistening sun bedecks In coral, rich with pink, the emerald pool. This lofty grandeur reaches here its height; Effacing shadows creep, the eve is born! Oh, robes of black, now shelter from the night Our sun, majestic, slumbering ' till dawn. Claire Mazzarelli AFTERMATH How long ago was it? Yes, just about four months ago that snow slowly settled over the town and brought rusty runners and tire chains back into the limelight. The children loved it, ski enthusiasts bubbled over with joy, and city dwellers looked out of their fourteenth-story windows and, well, just looked. The candid camera fan tried to win contests with unusual shots of a frozen brook, and the omnipresent poet whipped up some fantasy about the wonders of nature. But who suffered? Not the unfortunate few who were either too young, too old, or too slick to wield a shovel. The mister-in-between was the poor fellow who shouldered the responsibil¬ ity of moving the white precipitation from place to place. That small figure tunneling thru the snow drifts was Mister Ordinary. Why, I alone must have moved ten tons of that awful frozen mass of geometrical designs. And where is it now? It ' s all gone. What wasted energy lifting air!!! However, all is not lost. Just think how tough one ' s fingers became from putting on tire chains in the freezing rain, how delightful liniment rubbed on your back smelled in the warm house, and how beautiful was that ruddy complexion which must have been fashioned by a sixty-mile-an-hour blizzard. Incidently, did the tax rate go up in your town? For what? Now that s a silly question. Anyone knows that the extra money pays those merciless characters in the snow plows for reblocking the driveway after the last shovelful has been thrown aside. That driveway, the small strip of concrete or gravel that we turned our automobiles into every night, was always full of snow. Some were lucky, I grant, having only a few square feet to clear, but mine was thirty feet long and the most wonderful drifts imaginable. But those sneak attacks on the entrance were the last straw. Two o ' clock in the morning, and all one could do is look out the bedroom window and curse under his breath. Next winter, I would advise certain drivers to insure their lives heavily. Bring back memories? I thought it would. Well, it ' s all over now, and the March breezes indicate that Spring is just around the corner. The past is completed; and the future must be faced with a smile. So may I leave one final thought: Take a short trip to the tool house tomorrow. Doesn ' t that lawn mower look inviting? Edward Mitchell ' 48 71 SUNRISE I have worried through a sleepless night: How can I face the coming fight? Enemies seek me; must I flee Away from those who have wounded me? I rise to walk to my sea-side strand To view the sun ' s first crimson band. I look out o ' er the morning sea, Then at the beach ahead of me. The sky is dark, the wind is still; I sit and wait upon the hill. The minutes pass, the seconds fly, I see a flush come o ' er the sky. Scarlet flows in from the horizon low; The sun wakes up with a healthy glow. Nature ' s beauty, nature ' s wonder Breaks my petty fears asunder. My troubles are small, the world is vast, The sun will rise, its glory last. I am inspired: what shall I fear? Foes may seek me, but God is near! He guides me along my predestined way, Enwraps me in His love each day: And He still will watch, His children keep, When I close my eyes in my long, last sleep. Sidney De Boer ' 48 ART To the disinterested, indifferent individual, art is merely another word with no significance whatever. He glances at a painting before him and comments almost instantly upon it with¬ out pausing to think. If the picture appeals to his eye, then it is a good painting. If it does not, it is a waste of time. Does the individual study the painting? Does he try to understand what idea the artist means to convey? Does he try to view the painting from the artist ' s point of view? Obviously not, for if he did, he might not be so hasty to criticize. Art, as I see it, is a fascinating, interesting, and an exciting subject. It is alive. To this only the artistically inclined individual or the lover of the fine arts will agree. In my opinion, those who do not appreciate art are indeed missing a great deal of pleasure and inspiration in life. I have just said that art is fascinating and so it is. Before the artist sets to work to paint a portrait, for example, he studies the individual ' s facial characteristics and tries to read the in¬ dividual ' s mind. When he feels that he has learned everything he wants to know, he sets about to paint the portrait of his subject; and what can be more fascinating than the study of the features of a human being? Let us take, for example, Leonardo Da Vinci ' s Mona Lisa. This, perhaps the worlds most famous portrait, is exhibited in the Louvre and is internationally known. Thousands upon thousands of lines have been written about it. The Mona Lisa is an unfinished portrait executed in a manner that was common to many painters of the Italian Renaissance. The treatment of the mouth of the Mona Lisa, upturned at the ends, makes the subject seem quiz¬ zical and curious. Legend has it that Da Vinci had musicians present at all times to sustain the peculiar mood of his subject. Let us turn now to the artist who wishes to paint a landscape or a rural scene. Armed with easel and paints, he sets out for the country and before he even picks his brush, he sits in awe of what mother nature is offering him. He is so excited and so thrilled with what he sees that he is suddenly inspired, and he sets to work madly lest this breath-taking scene slip away from him. Is it not something to marvel at? I believe that the person who does not appreciate art, can not possibly realize what the painter experiences and finally what he accomplishes. He who does not enjoy a work of art, can not possibly have any beauty in his soul.

Here ' s the team! Barnstable, a newcomer to Milford ' s schedule, became the first victim as Giacomuzzi, aided by good blocking, reeled off 20 yards for a touchdown that later proved to be the margin of victory. Franklin was next and with Co-Captain McCausland driving for substantial gains and Gia¬ comuzzi flipping accurate passes, the score read Milford 30 and Franklin 6. The highly regarded Natickites, later crowned Midland League Champions, were forced to go all out to defeat the Red and White and scored two touchdowns in the last half to scalp the Brucatomen 12-6. Co-Captains Macchi and McCausland Talking Things Over. With Tosches dashing 60 yards for a touchdown, Milford defeated their arch rivals, Marlboro High, 6-0. Milford was forced to be satisfied with a 0-0 score against Clinton, a heartbreaker, since the game ended with Milford in posses sion of the ball on Clinton ' s 3-yard line. A mud-caked field sent Milford and Maynard off to a slippery and some¬ what uncertain start, as the two teams battled furiously to a 6-6 tie. All eyes soon centered on the annual Thanksgiving Day Classic with St. Mary ' s. A crowd of 2,000 turned out to witness this Battle of the Century. ' ' St. Mary ' s dominated the first stanza of play but in the second stanza, the team shook off their lethargy, collected its forces and propelled Co-Captain Mc¬ Causland on a thrilling and dramatic touchdown run. The victory was se¬ cured wtih the extra point added giving Milford a 7-0 victory and permanent possession of the Alzerini Trophy.

Basketball filled the Milford High School sport card through the long winter monhts, and a succesful season from a competitive standpoint was not expected as Captain Robert Vota- lato was the only aspirant returning from last year ' s team. In view of the task facing Coach Vincent Dagnese, the students could not expect even a moderate success, and when it was learned that Capt. Bobby was rushed to the hospital, for acute appendicitis and would there¬ fore be out of the lineups for sometime, Coach Dag¬ nese was forced to fashion a squad as best he could. The season ' s lid was lifted by Maynard, with the latter on the heavy end of the score in a close game. The fighting Red and White five succumbed to Franklin, Marlboro, Natick and Framingham in that order. News was soon heralded that Captain Bobby had fully recuperated and would play in the next game. He was welcomed with open arms as Clin¬ ton High, then the league-leaders became the first victim of the year, a sacrificial tribute to Votalato and Milford High in edging themselves into a 36-30 victory. Victories were also carved from Hudson twice, and Maynard, but Marlboro, Clinton, Uxbridge, Franklin, Framingham, and St. Mary ' s proved too much for the Red and White.. The outstanding star of the team was Capt. Bob Votalato.

Repetition of last year ' s feat would be the climax of a good season. The 1947 galaxy of baseballers had enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school in losing but two games. This array copped the cham¬ pionship of the Midland League and Town Championship from St. Mary ' s in two straight contests. The work of moulding together an¬ other championship unit appeared bright with the return of several vet¬ erans. The veteran nucleus of Capt. Elliott, B. Votalato, Tosches, Capuziello, Giacomuzzi, and Boni is intent on bet¬ tering last year ' s record. The latter will be ably assisted by Guerriere, Callery, Jionzo, and pitchers, Imbruno, and De- Manche, all of whom saw some service last year in addition to Stoico, Kelley, Kearnan, Trant, Giarmarco, all new¬ comers. Reviewing the team in general, Mil¬ ford should retain the top berth in the Midland League counting on a strong defensive team, backed by power at the plate. Raymond Elliott leads this year ' s club. He plays the infield like Bobby Doerr. 78 1948 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 24 Hudson at Milford 7 - 1 27 Clinton at Milford 3 - 0 May 1 Framingham at Milford 9 - 3 4 Milford at Maynard 10-5 8 Marlboro at Milford 7 - 4 10 Natick at Milford 6 - 5 14 Maynard at Milford Rain 15 Milford at Framingham 3-2 20 Milford at Natick 21 Milford at Marlboro 25 Milford at Hudson 28 Milford at Clinton 31 Milford vs. St. Mary ' s June 5 Milford vs. St. Mary ' s I4, We Qa 7a PieAA Qul 7 earn Wan Jlte Seven Qame4, Coach Brucato inspects some new bats with the advice and general agreement of Senior members of the team.

They played a number of games both on foreign and home courts. After the varsity and intermural squads were formed in January, the varsity began to prac¬ tice in earnest for the first scheduled game. Making up in spirit what they lacked in height and experience, the varsity played a stiff schedule losing all five of its games.. There wasn ' t, however, one member of the squad who was disheartened. Each one knew she had played her best. The good sportsmanship displayed was a compliment to our coaches, Miss Philomena Colavita and Mr. Charles Brucato. These two supervised our varsity practice sessions and arranged a schedule for the remaining players on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. The varsity captain, Helena Guerri- ero, a junior, set an excellent example to her teammates by being high scorer for the season.. Betty Hixon, Kay Forbes, and Mary Berardi also shared the scoring honors, while the guards were very effective in every game. To Miss Colavito and Mr. .Brucato we wish to extend our sincere thanks for their help in making the season an en¬ joyable one. Future teams may be more successful but they will never have more fun than we had. 80 SfLOHAOSlA Arranged by Theresa De Maria The following names are those friends of the students and alumni of the Milford High School who have shown a generous spirit of co-operation en¬ abling the students to publish the traditional OAK, LILY, AND IVY as a Year Book of the Senior Class and the School ' s activities.
