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 —

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 —

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 —
