DeSalvia 5 ADMINISTRA TION SCHOOL COMMITTEE SUPERINTENDENT PRINCIPAL TEACHERS ' ft X :: :: I am convinced American secondary education can be made satisfactory without any radical changes in the basic pattern. This can only be done, however, if the citizens in many localities display sufficient interest in their schools and are willing to support them. The improvements must come school by school and be made with due regard for the nature of the community. Therefore, I con¬ clude by addressing this final word to citizens who are concerned with public education: avoid gen¬ eralizations, recognize the necessity of diversity, get the facts about your local situation, elect a good school board, and support the efforts of the board to improve the schools. James B. Conant 7 — School Committee Members of the I960 graduating class: The School Committee extends sincere congratulations on your graduation from Mil¬ ford High School. Your School Committee is greatly con¬ cerned about your education and the part you will soon be playing as world citizens. The primary responsibility of American education is to develop in each new generation the kinds of beliefs, values and competencies which will continue to make self-government in our nation a functioning reality. In ful¬ filling that responsibility, it is absolutely essential that our schools provide the kind of education which will cause our students to accept the idea that good citizenship is im¬ portant, not just to be aware of but to use as a guide in daily living. The state of the world and the fate of the United States are strongly joined together. Our nation now assumes the title of free world leadership and carries grave responsibilties in leading the struggle to achieve a peaceful world based on the freedom and dignity of the human race. Our schools are charged with the obliga¬ tion of developing civic competence in our young people. They respond by doing a better job of teaching our f uture citi¬ zens about the peoples of this world and their problems; by educating them about the other countries, the international consequences of population, health, economic development and education in the other lands; and in teaching geography, foreign languages and a strong program of current affairs to keep students abreast of significant social, political and economic problems. As graduates, you will be stepping out into the troubled world, well equipped and fortified to meet the challenge of living and ready to sustain and strenghten the American wav of life. Good luck and Godspeed. Sincerely, Ernest A. Lombardi Chairman, Milford School Committee 8 A. Principal Joseph Tosches and Assistant Prin¬ cipal Charles Brucato look at O.L.I. proofs. Congratulations and best wishes to the Class of I960. I am happy to wish everyone the best life has to offer. You are going to meet a. challenging world and the person who is equipped to meet the challenge will be the one who receives the greatest reward. In most fields of endeavor the reward will be commensurate with the amount of effort expended. Graduation from high school will, I hope, mean the continuance of your studies at various schools of higher learning or at the job of your choice. Wherever you go and whatever you do, remember that the world can be made a better place for you having lived in it, if you really make an effort to be a good citizen, loyal to your God, your country and yourself. Yours very truly, Joseph J. Tosches, Principal Chairman Ernest Lombardi discusses school plans with Vice-Chairman Dr. Thomas DePalo. 9 — English Department , l n i h i s . pdoto - Miss Sadie oconneii head of £ the English Department is seated in the front row with Miss Marie Cenedella on the left and Mrs. Doris Driscoll on the right.

Elaine DePalma, Patty Beccia; standing are The Oak, Lily , and Ivy Committee The Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee was again formed under the excellent super¬ vision of Mr. J. Gerard Sweeney with the aid of our principal, Mr. Joseph Tosches. Our first meeting was held in late November, at which meeting Mary Mastroianni and David Whelen were chosen co-editors. Chosen as photo editor was Zita Speroni. Other officers chosen were Patricia Beccia and Peter Murray, business man¬ agers and Joan Pilla and Carol Gandolfi, literary editors. Joseph Apicella was chosen -sports editor. Mr. Sweeney was present at all meetings to guide us and offer sug¬ gestions. We were faced with numerous prob¬ lems, such as taking pictures and choosing divisional for our yearbook, but our major nroblem was that of raising ample funds for the printing and publication of the book. Zita Speroni, our adept photo editor, made arrangements with Morin’s Studio to visit Patty bongo, Patty DeMarchi, Mary Mastroianni and Sandra Feccia look through an encyclopedia for new ideas for the O.L.I. the high school and to have pictures taken at various times throughout the school year. The committee decided that instead of carrying out a theme, we would have divisional pages depicting sports, activities, underclassmen, and seniors. When the money problem arose we had many ex¬ cellent suggestions offered to us. Among those carried out was a candy sale from which we reaped a good profit. Other money-making aids were the intermittent food sales — to which under classmen contributed — and our annual soliciting of the town merchants along with our house- to-house canvassing. 18 — 5 More members of the O.L.I. take time Patty DeMarchi, Mary Mastroianni.

The Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee The O.L.I. committee was formed in early October. The editors were chosen and the other small committees that would help publish the book were also chosen. At the first meeting each member was given a bag of candy to sell. Senior write-ups was the subject of the following meeting. A committee was chosen to do the write-ups of the seniors. In the meetings that fol¬ lowed, food sales were discussed, another candy sale, and the formation of the book. The committee was very active in the food sales, the candy sales, and the sponsorship advertisements. After our two editors, Mary Mastro¬ ianni and Dave Whelen, were chosen, work began. The write-ups for seniors was to be our first accomplishment who were done by Peter Murray, Joanne Besozzi, Carol Gandolfi, Joan Pilla, Anne Ablondi, Bar¬ bara Pvne and Joyce Creasia. However, club write-ups were assigned to many others. Joanne Paradiso, Patty Longo and Miss Pyne keep records of advertising money for the O.L.I. If you were on the O.L.I. Committee and also on some other committee, you were obliged to do its write-ups. Food sales, candy sales and spon¬ sorship ads were a means for the forming of our year book. Food sales were held usually on Friday during the lunch period in the cafeteria. By May the book was put together and just about complete. It was ded¬ icated to Dr. John J. DeSalvia, a teacher who is admired by all students for his wisdom, knowledge, and wonderful sense of humor. In June each senior received his copy of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy with pride, inside was recalled the happiest four years of his life. — 19 — Seated are Joanne Besozzi, Rosalie Titolo, Joan PiJJa, Robert McGinnis, Anne Ablondi, Maureen Fitzpatrick, and Margaret Sullivan.

The Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee The Who’s Who Committee was head¬ ed by Joanne Besozzi and Anne Ablondi, who were helped earnestly by Barbara Pvne, Peter Casey, Joe Dias and Judy Tomaso. Business managers, Patricia Beccia and Peter Murray, divided Main Street into sec¬ tions for the O.L.I. members to solicit ads which would help finance the year book. Two candy sales were launched by the committee in order to raise money for the year book. The first sale took place dur¬ ing the end of November. It was such a success that another sale took place in February with twice as much candy to sell. The committee chose Stucky’s pecan log roll and pecan clusters. Each member was given an equal amount of candy to sell. Henry Bodio was chairman of this drive. On each box of the pecan log roll a picture of the cheerleaders appeared. It promoted the sale of the candy as well as adding attraction. The prize of a transistor radio was given to Joanne Paradiso for selling the most candy during our second sale. Each candy sale was a profitable ex¬ perience for our Oak, Lily, and Ivy Com¬ mittee and for future committees. Mary, Pete and Patty look over an accounting book to try to find ways of raising money. — 20 — Rosemarie Annantuonio, Judy Villani, Judy Tomaso, Geraldine Brogan are backed up by O’Neil, Lombardi, Florence Testa, Phyllis Pillarella and Anthony Cutropia. The Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee During the course of the year the O.L.I. committee was in need of extra help. Whenever an emergency arose and the original committee was not around these following students were always there to lend a helping hand; Peter Todino, Richard Quinlan, Robert Eldredge, Carol Morganelli, Paula Webster, Jean Consoletti, Maureen Tarasky, Roberta D’Arcangelo, and Sandra Frazer. They were a fine addition and proved their usefulness. David talks things over with Joan and Carol. — 21 — I The senior members of the French Club of their future in the linguistic field, are smiling happily. They are perhaps thinking The French Club The French Club had its first meeting in September, 1959 to elect officers for the oncoming year. It is composed of junior and senior boys and girls. Monthly meetings are held under the direction of Mademoiselle Pacella, usually at night in the high school cafeteria. The highlight of one meeting was a movie film that Mademoiselle Jeanne Andreotti brought in to show the members of the French Club her vacation in Europe during the summer vacation. Anyone passing by B-14 would sure to have been delighted to hear les chansons La Marseillaise” and Sur le Pont” sweetly sung by the members of the Club, or some beautiful poems being recited. The officers who have helped this Club become so successful are: David Whelen, president; Elaine DePalma, secre¬ tary; Stephen Flarrington, treasurer. Here we find four senior mem¬ bers of the French Club enjoying the opportunities of the language laboratory. — 22 — Joseph Apicella and Robert McGinnis relax complete the contestants in the Oratorical Con- in A-14 as Mary Mastroianni and David Whelen test. Oratorical ' s The American Legion Oratorical Con¬ test is held annually each January in the auditorium on the subject of the Con¬ stitution. Each student in the senior class submits an essay which requires much re¬ search to write. The English teachers select four of the best essays and then the can¬ didates are chosen by Mr. Tosches for their outstanding preparation of the essays. The students elected this year were Joseph Apicella, Robert McGinnis, Mary Mastroianni, and David Whelen. The sub¬ jects of the essays stressed the rights and the duties of a citizen to his country. After much deliberation bv the teach¬ ers, as to the contents of the essavs, its presentation, and the general appearance of the contestants, Joseph Apicella was selected as the winner. Robert McGinnis placed second. Joseph Apicella, the winner of the Oratorical Contest, was selected by vote of the teachers. — 23 — Joseph Apicella, the winner of the oratoricals, has even a better chance to display his talent when he competes with other students chosen from different high schools. There was a line display of speaking abilities in our contest this year. Miss Sadie O’Connell, head of the English Department, helps the chosen speakers to perfect their essays and also shows them the manner in which they should deliver their speeches.

Science Fair Our annual Science Fair was held March 21 in the John C. Lynch Aud¬ itorium. Nearly 1000 visitors, including parents, students, teachers and the general public viewed the largest Milford High School Science Fair since the program began in 1954. The fair consisted of 205 student-made projects in four categories: general science, biology, physics, and chemistry. Winning the two grand prizes were Edward Smethurst, a senior, for his project entitled Sodium Through Glass” and Ralph Mastroianni, a junior, for his project on the Physical Measurement of Reaction Time”. Both of these boys will represent our school at the Worcester County Science Fair to be held at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute sponsored by the Worcester and Greendale Kiwanis clubs of Worcester. The seniors dominated the scene again this year in their projects in all categories. Joe Apicella won first prize in physics. Carol Gandolfi also took first prize in Chemistry. Other senior winners were Nancy SanClemcnte and Craig Erickson. Some of the students that deserve mention for their effort put into their projects are Silvio Lombardi, Henry Bodio, Italo De¬ Santis, Mary Mastroianni, and Paula Web¬ ster along with many more. Twelve impartial judges coming from all the neighboring towns and some from our own town spent two hours in delib¬ eration before coming to their final decis¬ ions. With all the fine projects no wonder it took them so long! Mary, Joan and Patty stand proudly in front of Joan’s project. Barbara, Peggy, and Maureen seem deep in thought over this practical prob¬ lem. 25 This picture shows the Junior Prom Com- Apicella, Joyce Creasia, Richard Tessicini, Joanne mittee from left to right: Mike Brita, Carol Besozzi, John Consoletti, and Mary Mastroianni. Gandolfi, Patrick Niro, Sandra Feccia, Joseph The Junior Prom The evening of May 9, 1959, will always be remembered as a cherished even¬ ing” to the class of I960. It was 8 p.m. and the Juniors were arriving at the John C. Lynch auditorium. Even a person most familiar with this hall would never have recognized it, on this par¬ ticular evening. As we entered the hall, we glanced at the tables which were very appropriately arranged with centerpieces consisting of apple blossoms around a candle. Everything was a glitter even the words Class of I960” written across the top of the stage. Shimmering red and yellow spotlights shone on our fascinating drapery. Our theme Apple Blossom Time” was beautifully conveyed by Ben Lancisi’s orchestra. Our committee consisted of: Joanne Besozzi, Joseph Apicella, Joyce Creasia, Michael Brita, Carol Gandolfi, John Con¬ soletti, Sandra Feccia, Richard Tessicini, Mary Mastroianni. Pat Niro. Dinner was served by candelight, which distinguished our prom from any other one. But as all fascinating dreams must finally come to an end, so did our Junior Prom. The Grand March was over and the lights were on, then the orchestra played the last lines of Apple Blossom Time” as we all danced the last dance of the evening. We will always remember and sometimes try to capture the precious memories of Our Junior Prom”. In one section of the grand march are Sandra Feccia, Vinnic Palma, Maureen Tedeschi. Head¬ lining the foreground we see Paula Webster, Pat Niro, Joyce Creasia, Carmen Ferrelli, George Holland, and John Consoletti. (■ 26 I Here are some ardent members of the Future Nurses Club who are dreaming of someday marry¬ ing a wealthy doctor. Senior members occupying the chairs are Crystal Peaslee, Mary Todino, Barbara Zepf and Maureen Fitzpatrick. The Future Nurses This year, The Future Nurses of Am¬ erica Club, under the supervision of Miss Curtin and Mr. Moran, is composed of 30 girls contemplating nursing as a career. This number includes girls from the four classes. The officers are: President, Barbara Pyne; Vice President, Kathleen Romiglio; Secretary, Janet Colanti; Treasurer, Carol Gandolfi; and Librarian, Beverly Alberto. The primary aim of the club is to familiarize the girls with nursing by the distribution of pamphlets of the various nursing schools and by taking trips to the hospitals that the majority of the girls seem interested in. This year the girls toured Massachusetts General, Peter Bent Brigham, Burbank, Framingham Union, and Worces¬ ter Memorial Hospitals. We all want to thank the parents and friends who were kind enough to take time out from their busy schedules to furnish transportation to the various hospitals. These are the officers of the Future Nurses Club. Seated left to right are Vice-President, Kathleen Romiglio; President, Barbara Pyne; Ireasurer, Carol Gandolfi; standing are Secretary, Janet Colanti and Librarian, Beverly Alberto. of America Club A foodsale was held and it increased our bank account to a great extent. The senior members are: Sandra Feccia, Carol Gandolfi, Patricia Longo, Joanne Manella, Crystal Peaslee, Barbara Pyne, Mary Todino, and Barbara Zepf. — 27 — Ann, Patty, Nancy, Peggy, Joan, and Rosalie are surrounded by other members of the Future Teachers. Future Teachers of America Today, more than ever, there is a great demand for teachers; for this reason and in order that young people now attending high school might become interested in teaching as a career, the Future Teachers of America Club was organized in 1952. The club, which consists of thirty-five members, is sponsored by Miss Madeline Pacella, a member of the faculty; and is registered with the National Education Association and the State Education Associa¬ tion. The many diversified activities of the club include: aiding teachers in the high school, the Spruce Street school, and the Memorial School; enjoying visits to various colleges, universities, junior colleges, and prep schools in the state; entertaining guest speakers, and the showing of educational films. The club officers include: Mary Ann Deletti, President; Paula Andreotti, Vice- President; Margaret Innis, Secretary; Freda Volpe, Treasurer. Miss Pacella gathers a few Junior members of the Future Teachers. The amazing part of this picture was the silence that prevailed when it was taken. ( — 28 — Here are the members of the committee who had the responsibility of choosing a class ring RING COMMITTEE The problem of choosing a ring for the class of I960 was an especially important one and left to the following committee elected by their classmates: Geraldine Lancia, Paula Webster, Carol Morganelli, Donalee Julian, Anne Ablondi, Michael Brita, Patrick Niro, Richard Bavosi, Joseph Apicella, and Stephen Harrington. They all gave valuable suggestions as to the type of ring best fitting our needs. The com¬ mittee expressed a desire to make the ring one of distinctive design and quality. Several salesmen from different com¬ panies came to display types of rings. The committee chose three different styles to be displayed in the auditorium. Out of the three the class voted on the one they liked best. The design finally selected had an en¬ graving of the Oak, Lily, and Tvy on one side and the seal of the Town of Milford on the other. Around the synthetic ruby stone is printed Milford High School”. — 29 — The Dante Club during the regular class period. The group wanted to increase their knowledge of Italian and to learn more about the background of Italy. The students enjoyed writing their weekly compositions and hearing each other read their masterpieces to the class on Friday. Another enjoyment was the con¬ versations. Although Signor Villani was often suspicious, we sounded like true Ital¬ ians. With the Language Laboratory coming into use in January, the Italian students listened to native speakers during the latter part of the year. The Sistine Chapel has the paintings of Michelangelo, and B-13 has il fresco of Dante’s Inferno which was painted by Signor Knowles. The valuable and interesting year has gone by and we, the class of I960, would like to thank Signor Villani for all our knowledge of the Italian language and customs. The Dante Club was organized in Oc¬ tober. Although it was not a very active club, it has had a successful year. Plans and discussions were formulated by Mr. Anthony Villani. It was decided to have the meetings — 30 — Seated from left to right are: Arlene Standing from left to right are: Russell Kushner, Norma Rubenstein, Marlene Macklow Edmonds, Robert Berardi, Billy Glennon, Rich- and Patricia Beccia. ard Bozzini and Ralph Mastroianni. The German Club The German Club, though not as active as some of our other school activities, was organized under the supervision of Mr. Anthony Villani, who is head of the lan¬ guage department. The students spend a lot of time in the language laboratory, which was a new addition to the department this year. This method of teaching was an experiment to see if it would aid the language students, and has proved to be very successful. They also study the German people — their history, culture, customs, and manners. Each meeting is carried on with the member speaking entirely in German. Demonstrating tape recorder in the language lab are Mr. An¬ thony Villani and Patty Beccia. — 31 — The Band The Milford High School Band is a very active organization. Throughout th? school week the seniors, namely Chink Ghelli, Mike Zaloba, Pete Murray, Ronnie Griswold, Joy Warren, Patty Longo, and Joanne Paradiso either bang away, blow away or watch Barbara Pyne, Joan Pilla, and Mary Mastroianni fling their batons away. Many a rehearsal we have heard the fatal cry heads up” just in time to catch some¬ body’s baton in the drum section. During the seasons many opportunities come up for the band to display its musical ability after enduring long and tedious rehearsals under the direction of Mr. Ben Lancisi in the band room or in the town park. The band gets a chance to show off at Veterans’ Day and Memorial Day. The Veterans’ Day parade is just a little chilly, in fact it could be called just plain cold”. Between the frozen fingers of the drummers and clarinet players, the blueness of the majorettes’ legs, and the frozen lips of the horn players we try to bring a cheering spirit to the citizens on the sidewalks. The Memorial School will never forget the rousing dedication we gave it after the Veterans’ Day parade in the twenty degree cold and rainy weather. — 32 — if ' The Band Through bitter cold on Christmas Eve we tried to bring Christmas joy to the patients in the Milford Hospital by playing Christmas carols below their windows. For all we know, they might have been made even sicker when we left; but the thought was still there, even if half our notes didn’t come out because of the cold weather. The Memorial School will never forget the rousing dedication we gave it after the Veterans’ Day parade in the twenty degree cold and rainy weather. In the sweltering heat of a bright sunny Memorial Day or a damp rainy day, whatever the case may be, and no matter what the weatherman may predict the parade will go on. The guns will be fired and taps will be played at the expense of losing the players to landslides and packs of dogs. In the spring of I960 the band planned to have a minstrel show. Its effect proved to be very unusual and interesting. It probably was unlike any of the other activ¬ ities, for the show had a variety of musical selections and comedy numbers included in it. The band closed off its activities for the school year with its annual swimming party and barbecue with Ben serving as chef. The party was held at the Carroll’s cottage on Pine Island Road. And so ended a busy year for the M.H.S. Band. 33 — Robert Schofield made a very creepy-looking Joseph Apicella, a playful little boy; and Paula witch; Dawnette Costantino, a humorous clown; Andreotti, a package beautifully wrapped. The Harvest Dance 4 The annual Harvest Dance was held this year on Saturday, October 24, 1959, in the John C. Lynch Auditorium. The hall was decorated by the Social Committee on Saturday morning in the appropriate colors of black and orange. The basketball backboards were covered with crepe paper and skeletons, witches, pumpkins, and scare¬ crows adorned the boards. Streamers were draped around the walls and stage. A chair was prepared for the mysterious witch that would be the highlight of the evening. Pupils began arriving at 7:30 P.M. A great number of them dressed as beatniks. Bill Mohan and his Trio supplied us with some very danceable music and novelty numbers. A snowball dance was held to get the dance going and later on there was a spot dance. Mr. Morin came and took pictures of the Social Committee and some of the most outstanding costumes. Then the witch made his (or her?) grand entrance. Everyone had fun trying to find out who it was, but all in vain. After many useless guesses the witch was un¬ masked and turned out to be one of our seniors, Bobby Schofield. Prizes were given to those with the best costumes in the cate¬ gories of most attractive, most humorous, and most original. Then there was more dancing until about 10:30. 4 34 — v The members of the Social Committee have stopped dancing a moment to take a picture. The Sadie Haivkins Dance The Sadie Hawkins Dance is an annual dance held every year at Milford High School. This year it was held March 12, I960. The object of this dance is the girls must escort the boys, pay for his tickets, and his meal, and also buy him a bouton niere. This year the was a very large turn¬ out especially since it was also Leap Year. The Milford High School Student Council sponsors the dance under the direction of Mr. Moran and Miss Curtin. The auditorium was appropriately dec¬ orated with pictures of Li’l Abner, Daisy Mae, and Sadie Hawkins. As each couple entered the hall the girl was given a ticket for a chance at the door prize. The winners were: Judy Giacomelli and Ralph Villa; and June Marino and Michael Moffi. Richard Bavosi, Irene Nunes, Zita Speroni, and Stephen Harrington are the senior members of the Social Committee that have helped to make the Sadie Hawkins Dance a success. Mr. Moran also directed some humor¬ ous dances, a Snow-Ball Dance”, an Elimination Dance,” and a Broom Dance.” Prizes were also given to the winners of these dances. At eleven o’clock the girls escorted their dates to an elaborate restaurant for a steak dinner. — 35 — Minstrel Show On April 7, I960 we held our Min¬ strel Show in the John C. Lynch Aud¬ itorium. It was produced by Mr. Ben C. Lancisi and entitled Yesteryear.” Robert McGinnis served as Interlocutor. A chorus of boys and girls assisted in many of the acts. The girls of the chorus were gaily dressed. A minstrel show would not be complete without endmen, and, of course, we had six of them: They are Carol Lom¬ bardi, Joyce Creasia, Angelo Biagetti, Pat Niro, Peter Todino, and John Davis, all seniors. They highlighted much of the program by telling humorous jokes which they made up. An attractive display of dancing girls and the entire chorus opened the program with the song Oklahoma.” Solos were sung by Nancy Broderick (sen¬ ior), Janet Calanti (junior), Donna Healy (junior), and Juliana Zorzi (junior). Vinny and Mike rehearse the Bet you’re not here” act while Pat looks on anxiously. — 36 — . ! Minstrel Shoiv Don’t Call Me Sweetie” was a song pan- tomined by four seniors, Maryann Tessicini, Linda Teixeira, Paula Webster, and Roberta Till. The Act of Acts was tap dancing by Mary Mastroianni and Linda Brilliant, sen¬ iors. A German Brass Band, made up of the Milford High School Band Members and led by Ralph Mastroianni, was one of the main highlights and also ended the show. Gaily Peter and Ralph arc rehears¬ ing their comedy act for Mr. Lancisi, while Bob McGinnis looks on. colored dancers did an old-fashioned dance. By The Sea.” They also ended the program with Thanks For The Memories” where everyone in the cast came on stage and sang. Skits were done by Michael Brita, Steve Harrington, Vinnie Palma, Jim Kenney, Fred Belforti, and Harry Peters Mr. Lancisi played the piano and was assisted by two other musicians. — 37 SPORTS FOOTBALL BASKETBALL CROSS COUNTRY FRESHMAN BASKETBALL BASEBALL CHEERLEADERS — 38 THE FINAL ANSWER This is the word I bring you, from jungle and from town, From city street where weary feet are seeking vague renown, From cotton fields to northern snows, or where the west winds cry, This is the word I bring you: Keep strong or else you die.” Th ey speak of battle’s finish — they talk of peace to come. They cheer for songs supplanting the bugle and the drum. They think of dreams in clover, beneath a cloudless sky, Remember what I tell you: Keep strong, or else you die ” Peace on this war-torn planet? 1 want it understood 1 like a cheerful neighbor — but give me hardihood. Give me the fiber needed to face what lies ahead, To make good for the living, to make up for the dead. The easy road is over, for in this swarming hive Those who can take a beating are those who will survive. We’ve ripped a pleasant planet, it’s too late now to sigh. i Remember what I’ve told you: Keep strong, or else you die.” 4 —Grantland Rice — 39 — Tackled by Consoletti.

FOOTBALL With 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, thirty-three candidates answered the call for their initial workout. Most of the 1958 squad had graduated therefore, Coaches Calagione and Stoico were left with a lack of seasoned material and experienced players. However, Coaches John Calagione and Joe Stoico quickly began the task of fashioning the team that would represent Milford on the battlefield. Due to hard practices and determination, Milford easily disposed of Ashland 8 — 0 in the jamboree. Nick DiLegge broke through tackle for the touchdown. Feeling jovial and confident over their good showing against Ashland, the Scarlets played host to Franklin and gained another victory 20 •— 6. Mike Brita powered over the middle for one score and Nick DiLegge plunged to two touchdowns. Riding a two-game victory skein, the Scarlets played host to Clinton High at Fino Field and won 16 — 6. Mike Brita’s valuable left arm, carrying over from the baseball diamond, threw a touchdown pass to our big end, Pat Laquidara. Our perennial treat, Nick DiLegge, also scored again. Milford prepared for a rough foe in Marlboro High. The Scarlets fighting furiously throughout the game held the heavily favored Panthers to 22 •— 6. It was a well-fought game despite the loss. Nick DiLegge scored the only touchdown. The Scarlets were helped out of many predicaments by Johnny Consoletti’s booming kicks. Our next two defeats were at the hands of Bartlett High of Webster and Hudson High. The scores were 28 — 14 and 33 — 14 respectively. Mike Brita and Frank Tieuli scored in the Webster game and Mike Brita ran 92 yards for one score in Hudson and Nick DiLegge caught an end-zone pass from Brita for the second. The Scarlets were 16 point underdogs in their next encounter with highly-touted North Attleboro, but Milford was beaten only by a conversion 8 — 6. Mike Brita again showed his passing skill hitting Tieuli in the end zone for the score. Encountering a letdown, the Scarlets were thrown by Maynard High 28 — 6. Mike Brita salvaged the only score.

In the back row we find: joe In the front row we find: Jack Datis, Pat Costanza, Pete Todino, William Brown, Pat Niro, Mike Brita, Nick DiLegge, John Consoletti, Laquidara, John Rossetti, and Richard Tessicini. FOOTBALL Apparently peeved over a loss of this sort, the Scarlets were angered for their Thanksgiving Day encounter. Walpole High was riding high in the powerful Bay State League, but Milford had 11 boys who were playing their last game. Milford was beaten 20 — 0 but two of Walpole’s touchdowns came from blocked punts. The seniors who played their last game were center Dave Whelen, co-captain and halfback Mike Brita, co-captain and tackle Jack Davis, end Pat Laquidara, fullback Nick DiLegge, end Pat (Greek) Consoletti, guard Pete Todino, halfbacks Dick Tessicini and Joe Costanza, tackle Bill Brown, and guard Pat Niro. This ends another season. We are proud to say that the Milford team played courageously and went down fighting against overwhelming odds. The outlook for I960 looks good and to the graduating members of the 1959 football team, we extend our congratulations for their untiring efforts in the performance of their duties to the best of their ability. To Coach Calagione, undoubtedly the best guy in the world we offer our sincere thanks. He certainly did more than his salary’s worth of work. To Coach Stoico, our linemen gained invaluable lessons from him and we only regret that we { couldn’t have presented Coaches Calagione and Stoico with an undefeated season. I Coach Calagione discusses plays with co-captains Jack Davis and Mike Brita. We should have some excellent material coming back next year, and through the untiring efforts of Coaches Calagione and Stoico, this team should bring home many victories when we again hear the referee’s whistle announcing the arrival of the I960 football season.

Two of the three defeats were heartbreakers: one coming in an overtime period to Northbridge, and the other to powerful Shrewsbury in the final second. Carrying the load that a 19 game schedule weighs were five aggressive seniors, a fleet sophomore and good bench strength. These boys combined their talents to capture the Town Series Champ¬ ionship in high fashion by downing St. Marys Central Catholic High School in the annual Town Series. Milford High swept two games this year and has now dominated the Town Series for five consecutive years. Coach Espanet’s best basketball club yet were in the thick of every game they played, coming from behind so many times to win. The Scarlets took pride in playing under their great coach, Mr. Espanet. In the last three years, he has pro¬ duced the best basketball teams ever to hit School Street. Joe drives through the middle for another two points. The Scarlets ended the season in a flurry with seven consecutive victories, averaging 70 points a game in this span. History was made, and a record broken during this stretch also. History was written when senior center John (Dabo) Laquidara and wing-foot Ernie Kapatoes scored over the 300 point mark in the season’s final game against Marlboro. This was the first time in the annals of Milford High School thar two players on the same Milford High basketball team ever — 42 — Pat, Mike, Steve, Joe, and Jimmy are discussing the team’s chances of overcoming Marlboro. scored 300 in the same season. Quite a feat! Not to be forgotten in this last game was senior Mike Brita’s jump-shot in the seconds to achieve his goal of 200 points. The record was a Town Series scoring mark of 81 points against St. Mary’s in the first game of the Town Series. The previous mark of 80 points was held by St. Mary’s. Team work was a key factor in our basketball team’s success. Jumping-jack Pat Laquidara con¬ trolled both backboards and scored many points. Forwards Mike Brita and Ernie Kapatoes jump- shot beautifully in the clutch while our little guy guards Joe Apicella and Hank Ghelli moved the ball around. Swing-man Steve Harrington was always on hand to do his fill-in job, a very important job on Coach Espanet’s club. With these boys giving their best, Coach Espanet completed another successful basketball season. Well-respected by his players, the fans, and the student body, our coach is the inspiration which carried our Scarlets to victory on the basketball court.

The Milford High Harriers” had their most successful season to date. Running in the tough South Central Massachusetts League, Milford was undefeated in seven regular season dual meets. However, in the League’s eight team meet held at Hopedale, Milford finished second to Bellingham, whose streak of 32 successive dual meet wins was snapped by Milford during the regular season. This caused Milford to fall into a first place tie with Bellingham who, in an exciting post season run off” took the League crown. The Harriers, ably coached by J. Francis Cahill and captained by Craig Erickson, were led throughout the season by that wing-footed Sophomore Ernie Kapatoes. Also turning in solid performances were CROSS-COUNTRY SCHEDULE West Boylston at Milford Milford 19 Opp. 36 Oxford at Milford 15 51 Hopedale at Milford 17 38 Milford at Bellingham 26 29 Milford at Uxbridge 21 36 Milford at St. Mary ' s 22 33 Douglas at Milford 15 47 Joint meet at Hopedale second Run off Milford vs. Bellingham at Uxbridge 37 20 Dom Compagnone, Jim Blackler, and Charles Tomaso. Coach Cahill’s task was simplified by one of the greatest turnouts of candidates in Harrier history. The tremendous interest generated by this year’s team it looks as though cross-country wili be sharing some of the spotlight previously reserved for football. Senior Joe Apicella caused no little commotion this season when he was nearly hit by a train while racing Bellingham and a couple of weeks later when he was bumped by a car while running in Hopedale. However, Joe was not hurt. Senior track stars included Craig Erickson, Joe Apicella, and Steve Harrington. 44 — IE FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The Freshman basketball team, coached by Mr. John Calagione, has ended its season with a record of two losses and two wins. The team has had a rather meager schedule, playing only Franklin and Wayland. To supplement the schedule, Mr. Calagione arranged various games to be played between the Sophomore and Freshman teams. The team has been successful from the view¬ point of practical experience on the court and learning the fundamental principles of the game. The team consists of Walter Daley, John Pyne, Robert Tasker, Francis Allen, Sidney Klein, David Testa, Jim Church, Thomas Trautwein, Robert Pagnini, Thomas Bonardi, Paul Lopes, William Pagnini, Tom Creasia, Louis Acqafresca, William Hubert, Dana Hiscock, and Teddy Johnson. Coach Calagione seemed to enjoy his new role of freshman basketball coach. His boys enjoyed playing the game under his guidance. — 45 — BASEBALL The beginning of spring brought rain and snow that will long be remembered. In mid-April the ground cleared and the candidates started a grueling practice that end¬ ed up with a top notch club. The seniors that sparkled on the team were Mike Brita, Henry Ghelli, Nick DiLegge, Dick Bavosi, Steve Harrington, and Joe Apicella. The first game was a heartbreaker, with Milford losing to Northbridge. This defeat did not discourage the Scarlets because in the following six games the Scarlets were undefeated. The Scarlets and the North- bridge Rams met on May 10 trying for first posi¬ tion in the Central Mass. Conference. At the begin¬ ning Milford did not look good with the score 3 -1. But in the eighth with two outs and the SCHEDULE Milford Opponent April 12 Northbridge 5 6 14 Maynard 13 3 22 Shrewsbury 21 0 26 Wachusett 13 2 28 Clinton 30 St. Mary ' s 2 0 May 3 Hudson w 4 5 Auburn 26 10 6 Marlboro 26 6 10 Northbridge 5 3 12 Maynard 4 5 bases loaded, sophomore Ernie Kapatoes hit a single that brought in senior Steve Harrington and senior Nick DiLegge. Then to bring more excitement, junior Paul Lombardi stole home. This brought us ahead 4 - 3 and a great slugger at bat, Mike Brita brought home Ernie Kapatoes and ended the eighth inning. In the ninth inning the Rams realized that Milford could not be beaten for a second time, so Milford High was now the first place team in the Mass. Con¬ ference League. As we go to press, however, there is a tie for first place after Milford lost t o Maynard in a thrilling game at Fino Field. — 46 — The cheerleaders are posed in a formation at the high school before the Thanks¬ giving Day football game with Walpole. CHEERLEADERS — 47 — Although the football season was not very successful, these girls still managed to cheer them on right to the end. In spite of the inclement weather and poor transportation during football season, the cheerleaders have always been present. These girls are picked on pep, co-operation when working in a group and just plain ability to cheer. With bright red and white uniforms, they stand out at all the games and add an extra highlight. These girls have had as many practices as the football players and have never missed a game, yet. Senior cheerleaders, Captain Linda Brilliant, Elaine DePalma, and Judy Daddario showed a lot of action during their last season. But Juniors Colleen Petrilli, Mickey Lombardi, and Maureen Zicolella and Sophomores Janice Ferraro, Donna Powers, Judy DeSantis and Jeanne Maietta will carry on next year for them. This enthusiastic group of girls have cheered our teams on to many an exciting victory, especially during basketball season. Elaine, Judy, and Linda are discussing some of the cheers that they will do during the football game. CHEERLEADER’S MOTTO To Root and Cheer had been our job It’s always been our history And when the team seems down and out We cheer them ' ■ on tn victory.
