Administration Vice Chairman McGinnis and Chair¬ man DePalo have many school matters to discuss. To The Class of 1961: It is a pleasure to express my congrat¬ ulatory sentiments to the members of the Class of 1961. During your years as students in our school system you have distinguished yourselves in many areas of achievement and behavior. You have gained the reputation of being a really good group of boys and girls, and in this day and age of hostile criticism of American youth in many of thenews media, you must be justifiably proud of this reputation. It is regretable that conditions in the world are in such a deplorable state of uncertainty, confusion and disorder as you leave high school, and, of necessity, come closer to grips with the problems of current society. Fortified as you are, and in spite of the problems confronting you in a com¬ plex, strife-torn era, I am confident that each of you will take your proper place in life and make most worthwhie contri¬ butions in your respective chosen fields of endeavor. As you graduate from Milford High School, be assured that you have my personal and most sincere wish that each of you will enjoy an abundance of the Lord’s choice blessings in your future life. Sincerely Superintendent of Schools David I. Davoren — 6 — Principal Joseph J. Tosches and Assis¬ tant Principal Charles J. Brucato take time from their busy schedules to pose for our year book. Mr. Joseph J. Tosches, our Principal, has aided us immensely during our four years at Milford High School. Although at times he reprimanded us for singing in the Corridors, wearing pencils on our ears, or flirting with the opposite sex during lunch period, we knew his rebukes were for our own benefit. We truly appre¬ ciate the advice and assurance he has furnished to us. Mr. Charles J. Brucato, Assistant Principal, has also assisted us in our activities at M.H.S. The time spent in in aiding Mr. Tosches did not prevent Mr. Brucato from carrying out his duties as athletic director or from lending a helping hand to all his students. Miss Pierina M. Ramelli, Mr. Tosches’ secretary, has extended unlimited services to each and every member of our class. May her dream book, holiday jaunts, and poetry continue to entertain students fortunate enough to come in contact with her. Miss Pierina Ramelli is completely surrounded by all her office help for this picture; but where are they when there is work to be done? Principal ' s Office 7 — These are the teachers who add the extra burden of two book reports, a poem, and an article to our full schedules. The English Department includes, left to right; Mrs. Doris Driscoll, Miss Sadie O’Connell, department head; Miss Marie Cenedella, Mr. J. Gerard Sweeney, Mrs. Regina Stare, and Mr. Michael Powers. Miss Colavita missed this picture. Julius Caesar, Columba, Remi, and Peppino are all characters we have met in our study of foreign languages. The teachers most familiar with these foreign languages are: Mrs. Doris Driscoll, Mr. Anthony Villani, department head; Miss Madelaine Pacella, Miss Dorothy Callahan, Mr. J. Gerard Sweeney, and Miss Mary Burns. — 8 — The smiling Sizzling Scientists” of our faculty are Mr. Fred Bessozzi, Mr. Johnjj ' !H l HI 1 Calagione, Mr. Charles Espanet, Mr. Nello Allegrezza, and Mr. Benjamin Consoletti. The members of the Math Department who have kept us busy memorizing formulas and theorems are: Mr. John Calagione, Mr. Arthur Vesperi, Mr. Nello Allegrezza, department head; Dr. John DeSalvia, Miss Dorothy Callahan, and Mr. Tosches. — 9 — Our all male Social Studies Department which encourages us to keep abreast of current events includes Mr. J. Francis Cahill, Mr. Gabriel DiBattista, department head; Dr. John DeSalvia, Mr. Benjamin Consoletti, Mr. Arthur Vesperi, Mr. Charles Espanet, and Mr. Joseph Lopes. Here are pictured the teachers who have overworked our business students. They are Miss Eva Burns, Miss Agnes Lynch, department head; Miss Madelaine Pacella, Mrs. Doris Driscoll, Miss Josephine Calarese, Miss Margaret Pyne, and Mr. Joseph Lopes. — 10 — Those men responsible for our school sports are Mr. Francis Cahill, Mr. Benjamin Consoletti, Mr. Charles Brucato, Director of Athletics; Mr. Charles Espanet, Mr. Nicholas Pacella, Mr. John Calagione, Mr. Joseph Stoico. Mr. Harold M. Moran and Miss Catherine Curtin have worked diligently to put before the students benefits and services of the Guidance Department. Mr. Philip O’Donnell, as Librarian, has done exceed¬ ingly well to see to it that our library shelves are filled with the latest and best books. Our band leader, Mr. Ben Lancisi, has nor ony given us one of the finest high school bands but has contributed greatly in producing a Swinging High”. Miss Dorcus Whipple, art teacher, and Mr. Alex DiGiannantonio, music director, have afforded students the opportunity to develop their talents in art and music. The members of the cafeteria staff who see to it that we are well fed are Mrs. Besozzi, Mrs. Lombardi, Mrs. Cugini, and Mrs. Iadorola. — 12 — Marcella Marino and Lynda Pillarella are a great help to Mrs. Ahearn, Mr. Davoren’s able secretary. Another busy day for Miss Ramelli, but with Mary Ann and Paula to help work is no worry, or is it? Even though Mr. DiBattista does not teach a science, Patty has confidence that he can answer her question during his third period study. Paul Lucier eyes the photo¬ grapher rather suspiciously. Do we detect a slight quiver of a smile on Mr. DiBattista’s face? It could be possible, for Faith and Bev are trying their hardest to show him how it is done. — 13 — Tribute to Fred A. Metcalf During our last year at Milford High School we were all deeply grieved by the death of one of our most beloved teachers, Fred A. Metcalf. All of the members of our class respected him as a dear and trusted friend, but we could not express our feelings for him better than did an associate of his in the Milford Daily News on January 24, 1961: The teaching career of Fred A. Metcalf at Milford High School has come to a close. During the thirty-four years he served as a member of the school faculty he exerted an influence on hundreds of young people who were privileged to come under his direction. This influence extended beyond the students, to his associates, and his passing is a distinct loss to the Milford public schools. Mr. Metcalf was the epitome of the dedicated teacher. His entire life was centered in his work and the school was the center of his professional existence. His complete competence in his subject matter field was made even more effective by his warm and genuine interest in his students. He engendered a respect among young people that endured long after they had left school and taken their places in life. His sense of duty as a teacher was transmitted to his students by the medium of good teacher, the ability to inspire students with the desire to learn. This, Mr. Metcalf succeeded in doing. He made learning purposeful by his enthusiasm for learning. Students sensed this in his classes and were spurred to accomplish¬ ment. The fine qualities of his personal character will certainly remain with all of us who were privileged to have been associated with him. His influence on the lives of his pupils will surely serve as a source of inspiration, to emulate fine character and respect cultivated intelligence. His loss is genuine and inestimable — but the accomplish¬ ments of work well done — evidenced by admirable character, and youth enriched, will be a source of inspirational memory much longer than a man’s mere allotted years.” — 14 — Fred A.

OAK, LILY, AND In the early fall, the members of the 1961 Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee were chosen by Mr. Tosches and Mr. Sweeney. The tremendous task of this committee is to create and publish a book depicting four years spent in study and activity at Milford High School. At our first meeting in November, our main object was to choose an editor. Jeanne Andreotti was elected editor-in-chief at this time and has since proven herself to be an adept and hardworking, woman editor. Her overworked staff included Mary Ann Deletti, literary editor; Paul Lombardi, Sports editor; Beverly McGrath, photo editor; Laith Cimino and Ralph Mastroianni, business managers. These people were faced with ever so many problems. Paul, as sports editor, found it necessary to compile infor¬ mation and statistics of the school’s sports events. Beverly McGrath constantly found herself on the Among other things, Laith and Joyce have helped the O.L.I. with much of the necessary typing. Patty contributed her share by helping to raise money. Tough job, wasn’t it Pat? — 72 — IVY COMMITTEE office telephone dialing GR 3-0211. Mary Ann found the enormous literary work to include senior write¬ ups, activitity write-ups, dedications, and captions for pictures. It might appear that Faith and Ralph had the Herculean task, how to raise money. Food sales, sponsors, raffles, sale of Lindy Pens, and all kinds of fund raising gimmicks were in the hands of these prudent, financial managers. Yet it was our editor and the rest of the committee who compiled this material and produced the finished product. Paul Lombardi, John Tekian, and Pat Castagnaro seem to be enjoying the company of their fellow O.L.I. members, Anne DeMatteis, Sharon Allen, Faith Cimino, Mary Ann Deletti, Frances Traynor, Juliana Zorzi, Kathy Romiglio, Bev McGrath and Ann Hubert. The first major problem with which the com¬ mittee was confronted was who would be the recip¬ ient of our dedication. Mr. Gabriel DiBattista was chosen on the basis of his devotion to the teaching profession and contributions to our class. (We are overlooking the fac t that he is a Republican.) The cover design was not as serious a problem as we had anticipated, for in a matter of weeks Dotty D ' Alessandro drew up the chosen design. Marlene, Lynda, Sharon, Judy, and Margie are busy with the task of checking write-ups. — 73 — This picture completes the hard-working members of the O.L.I. Committee. These hard- workers are Cassandra Ashcroft, Patty Pironti, Joyce Gregoire, Judy Giacomelli, Jim Kenney, Russ Edmands, Louise Bracci, Florence Dalesio, Barbara Carrachino, Tom Lynch, and Jon DeWolfe. This year to raise money the committee spon¬ sored a special program featuring W.B.Z. disc jockey, Carl deSuze, who showed films and talked about his trip to Africa. This and money contributed by spon¬ sors eased the bulk of our financial problem. No theme was chosen. Instead it was decided to break the book into several sections, Seniors, Sports, Activities, and Sponsors, through the use of enlarged photos. Although there were moments of despair when work seemed to pile higher and higher, there were still the times when a successful ' ' surprise raffle or food sale made us feel lighted hearted. With the co¬ operation of our whole class, our task, as a committee, was made comparatively easier and more pleasant. We hope our devotion to our class, our time and our effort have all combined to construct a book full of happy memories for each member of our class. Although Judy might not realize that her picture is being taken, Kathy, Beverly, and Raid” smile prettily for the photographer. Bev is Photo Editor of the O.L.I. In early April, just before the book was on its way to be published, the committee was extremely delighted to receive a letter from Smith Craft of Chicago. The people of this organization were attracted to our cover design and were requesting permission to publish the design in a pamphlet they would soon be issuing. As you can see, the white book with red letters is made even more attractive by the placement of symbols for the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. We are very pleased to have such a design. — 74 — Mary Ann, our Literary Editor, is delighted to pose with Arlene, Paula, and Marlene who have helped with some of the write-ups for the yearbook.

The French Club, consisting of juniors and seniors, is in existence for the purpose of enriching our knowledge of the French language, its literature, and its customs. At our monthly meetings under the direction of Mademoiselle Pacella we have the opportunity of exercising our fluent French. Our programs, arranged by the program committee, have included poems, biographies, and songs all given ”en francais”. It is not un¬ usual for anyone passing though the corridor to hear the mellow strains of La Marseillaise” or excerpts from Carmen” filtering through the thin walls of B 14. Films and slides of picturesque France also help to encourage French culture among our members. — 76 — Here are pictured the scholastic leaders of our class. Through all the trials and tribulations of four years of study they have managed to close them successfully by attaining at least eighty-five for a final average. The Honor Group We doff our caps to the students who have maintained at least an eighty-five for the past four years. Fourteen members of our class have achieved such a goal. These people have not only proven to be excellent scholars, but all have taken part in many of our extra curricula activities to become well- rounded students. Because Marlene Macklow and Julia Orifice attained the two highest averages, they were chosen valedictorian and salutatorian. Marlene, Julia, and the rest of this group should certainly be congratulated for their excellent high school record and we are sure that they will all meet with great success in the future.

The Dante Club The Dante Club is comprised of members of the second year Italian Class. The club is named after the famous Italian author and poet, Dante with whom the members of this club seem well ac¬ quainted. It appears that the group is noted for its snap decisions, for it was not until the photographer arrived that officers were chosen. They are Edward Pighetti, Elaine Gogliormella, Lynda Pillarella, and Richard Ferrari. The club is under the capable super¬ vision of Mr. Anthony Villani, and although it has not had a very active year, a great interest in the Italian language still prevails in our school today. Elaine Gogliormella, Eddie Pighetti, Richard Ferrari, and Lynda Pillarella are the proud officers of the Dante Club. — 78 — This grinning group of dramatists and debaters includes Mary Ann Deletti, Arlene Kirsner, Donna Healy, Juliana Zorzi, William Glennon, Ralph Mastroianni, Ann Hubert, Larry Catusi, Donna Moore, Jim Kenney, and Anne Marie DeMatteis. In the latter part of our senior year a Dramatic and Debate Club was organized by Mrs. Stare and Miss Colavita. The club was scheduled to meet every two weeks and did so until May. It was open to members of the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes with no dues required at that time. The main objective of this group was to inspire an interest in public speaking through dramatics and debating. It was the intent opinion of both Miss Colavita and Mrs. Stare that we begin at the very basis of public speaking and thus assigned various pantomine skits to be acted out. The few meetings were great fun and quite instructive. If continued in the coming years, the club is sure to be a success. Dramatic and Debate Club Norma Rubcnstein, Maureen Zicolella, Louise Bracci, Nancy Sharoogian, Lynda Pillarella, Joe Nigro, Janice Serrano, Brian Abretti, Bev Mc¬ Grath, Barbara Carrachino, and Dave Cox all agree that this group was great fun.

Lynch Auditorium. As usual it was a rousing success. Many parents and friends attended the event with school children being allowed to view projects during the afternoon. The exhibits were classed in General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. There are three awards given in each category, with three Grand Awards presented to those chosen to represent Milford at the Regional Science Fair held at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Janice Serrano, Peachy” Bracci, and Janet Reidy made it a point to come and view the science exhibits of their fellow students. A few gay juniors are viewed in the background. This year Grand Awards in the form of plaques were presented to Julia Orifice, a senior, Michael Tarraskey, a sophomore, and Prudence Lyons, a freshman. The Kiwanis Club announced that beginning this year the pre¬ sentation of plaques to Grand Prize Winners will be an annual affair. Competition between the 199 contestants was keen and the thirteen judges did their utmost to select the deserving winners. Every class was represented by winners who all received blue ribbons. Seniors who won prizes that evening were Barbara Carrachino, who received first prize in chemistry for her display on Hydrocarbons and Margaret Innis, who was awarded third prize in chemistry for her demon¬ stration of Electrolytes and Non-electrolytes. It seems rather silly for Zorz” to be explaining this Trig project to Brian, Donna, and Barbara. It’s not that they don’t understand. It’s simply that it is not her project. — 81 — Future Teachers oj America Club Quest for Quality was this year’s Future Teachers’ theme and this truly describes the purpose of our Milford High School F.T.A. The club was first organized in 1952 to encourage interested students in choosing teaching as a lifetime career. Membership has grown from a meager six to an abounding membership of 45. The club meets regularly each month in the school library. To interest students in becoming good teachers is the task of Miss Madelaine Pacella, the club ' s faculty advisor. She sees to it that the club is kept more than active by entertaining guest speakers, visiting the campuses of State Colleges, viewing films, attending conferences, and having discussions on the topic of Teaching as a Career.” Among the highlights of this years activities was a visit by Dr. G. Flint Taylor, Director of Admissions at Worcester State College. On November 4 a group of Seniors visited the college and were very much impressed. The girls and boys of the club at¬ tended the annual Spring Convention in April and as a fund raising project sold candy. This money will be used to defray the clubs expenses and also to purchase three-year pins for the members. We are sure that some day the members of our Future Teachers Club will make excellent teachers. These F.T.A. officers are determined not to become crabby teachers. They are Mar¬ garet Innis, Secretary; Juliana Zorzi, Trea¬ surer; Mary Ann Deletti, President. Paula Andreotti, Vice Presi dent was absent when the picture was taken. — 82 — By belonging to the F.N.A. these Milford High Florence Nightingales have a head start on their future profession. Sharon Allen, Janet Colanti, Patricia Crandall, Anne DeMatteis, Linda Morey, Frances Traynor, Nancy Sharoogian, Marie Mazzuchelli, Paula Tellier, and Sue Adams will some day make excellent nurses. Future Nurses of America Chib The need of nurses has increased greatly in the past years, so we at the Milford High School endeavor to promote an interest in this worth-while profession. With the assistance of our guidance counselors, Mr. Moran and Miss Curtin, many of our girls lean toward this career. During the year we were able to visit Burbank Hospital. Here the girls were very much impressed by the facilities of the hospital and were able to get an idea of what a student nurse’s life is like. Meetings are held regularly with Patty Crandall, club president, presiding, and Miss Curtin attending. Miss Curtin is able to offer valuable and informative advice to the girls. At the meetings various ways of earning money to support the club’s needs are discussed. This year money will be used to purchase pins for Senior members. Our colorful band appears in full uniform on Thanksgiving morning outside the school. They were soon to march through Fino Field playing the M.H.S. song and enlivening school spirt. The Band We don’t know whether Gene DeBari, Rex Tamagni, and Arthur Trongone were given the task of loading the bus for an out of town game or unloading it after an out of town game. What do you think? STOP LOOK LISTEN Of course it’s the Milford High School Band in all its splendor marching down the field during half time while the head majorette, Beverly Mc¬ Grath, could be seen strutting and smiling prettily as she led the band across the field. Closely behind Bev was our pert, little captain of the majorettes, Dawnette Costantino, who kept Kathy, Donnalee, and the others twirling their batons to the swing of the music. Yes, the band drew some good, loud cheers as they formed the symbolic M” and cheered for the boys with their rendition of the Victory March.” When the band wasn’t drilling at the Town Park, they could be heard at 9:30 every morning in the band room tuning up and practicing under the skillful direction of Mr. Ben Lancisi. Not only would this finger¬ snapping music put a swing into the steps of anyone passing by the band room, but ambi¬ tious seniors supposedly studying diligently in A4 would be lulled into moments of idleness as they listened to the music from Swinging High.” — 84 — I Ml ■ i j M Jew ¥ Mar I “1 TOBmBl L : Of course all of their long, tedious drills and rehearsals have been well worthwhile, for on Veterans’ Day and Memorial Day they were able to display their musical talents which lent dignity and grace to these holiday parades. On these days the majorettes looked especially patriotic in their red and white uniforms and blue legs. The caroling on Christmas Eve added greatly to the Yuletide spirit, bringing cheer and good wishes to the patients at the Milford Hospital and to many other residents of the town. As usual our skillful musicians lent them¬ selves to various other activities in the school. The most important of which this year was the musical comedy, Swinging High.” With the help of Mr. Lancisi, the band provided a great background for the show. The reward for all their hard work during the year was a trip to the Boston Pops’ Concert in the spring. Here they really heard some good music. Our high-stepping majorettes stay at at¬ tention while their picture is taken before the Thanksgiving Day game. We can plainly dis¬ tinguish the four seniors in the front to be Kathy Romiglio, Dawnette Costantino, Beverly McGrath, and Donnalee Mayotte. The Band High struts and brilliant smiles are given by Beverly and Dawnette. — 85 — I £ -a 1. u ■ WmW HiaftsMBBr M jjjc «=_ n LJ •Jwf .. . lid!

Student Council David Cox and Arlene Kirsner planned many of the successful Student Council Programs. Each Tuesday during the extra period all home¬ room representatives, the two members-at-large from each class, the four class presidents, and the officers of the Student Council gather together in room A-6 under the supervision of Miss Catherine Curtin to form the Voice of the Students , the Milford High School Student Council. This year, under the capable commands of President Fred Belforti, the Council has been very successful in sponsoring many fund raising drives and several extra-curricula activities. The Harvest Dance, the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the March of Dimes Drive, Thanksgiving Drive, the Christmas Drive, the Student Exchange Program, and atten¬ dance to Spring and Fall Conventions were among the varied activities of this governing group. Several committees are placed under the super¬ vision of the Council and it is up to the Council member to give a report on the progress of his committee. At the end of each year pins and guards are awarded to the members, depending on the num¬ ber of years they are on the Student Council. There is also a national pin for anyone who has been on Council for four years. This year Bev Alberto and David Cox received this honor. The group is grateful to Miss Curtin, who, as faculty advisor, put a great deal of extra time and effort into creating a successful and powerful organization. — 86 — The annual Harvest Dance at Milford High is a festive event that everyone looks forward to. It is organized by the Social Committee of the Student Council and sponsored by the Council. Attired in various costumes of farmers, cowboys, hobos, Chinamen, and even a hillbilly bride and groom, students from every class partook in this festive event. The highlight of the evening was the entrance of the mysterious witch. With a prize of five dollars going to the lucky student who guesses her identity. This year Robert Mozol proved to b? a well dis¬ guised black-cloaked visitor. His identity could not be revealed. Another attraction of the evening was our Senior boys exercising their vocal talents under the direction of Charlie Tomaso. Teachers and matrons attended to serve as chaperones. Mr. Moran also attended dressed in his Sherlock Holmes outfit. Laughs and giggles were heard throughout the auditorium as couples and stags admired each others disguises. There was dancing to Ray Pagucci’s Orchestra which added to the spirit of the evening. Because of the large numbers of students attend¬ ing, it was one of the most successful and one of the most memorable dances at Milford High. Who’s Who Harvest Dance Can you find Mr. Cal? — 87 — The members of the Social Committee who worked hard to make the Sadie Hawkins Dance a success take a breather and pose for a picture for our wonderful yearbook. Sadie Hawkins Dance Judy DeSantis and Bobby Bruce can relax near their decorations after a successful dance. They don’t look like they’re relaxed, do they? The traditional Sadie Hawkins Dance was held on March 4 in the high school auditorium. Couples danced to the music of Donald Iacovelli and his orchestra. The novelty of the dance is for the girls to ask the boys. This factor probably accounts for the fact that the dance is always a tremendous success. It appears that girls seem to lose their bashfulness at this time of year. Besides asking the boys, each girl buys her date a boutonniere and pays for the meal after the dance. (This is perhaps the most expensive part of the whole evening.) The dance is sponsored by the M.H.S. Student Council with the Social Committee in charge of arrangements. This year the auditorium was elabo¬ rately decorated with pink, white, and black crepe paper. The front of the stage was beautifully done in all pink which gave a pleasing affect to the hall. At the entrance a large trellis decorated with num¬ erous flowers greeted each couple entering the auditorium. Door prizes were awarded later in the evening. The music was excellent. There was so much excite¬ ment that evening that it was difficult to keep track of the time. And like all good things the dance came to an end. The boys were escorted by the the girls to expensive” restaurants for steak, lobster, turkey, or whatever pleased their hungry dates. After such a lively evening of dancing, we are sure the appetites of our male students made quite a dent in the girls’ pocketbooks. All in all Sadie Hawkins evening proved to be a night to remember. — 88 — These happy people make up the Ring Committee with the exception of Paula An- dreotti who was absent when the picture was taken. Seated: Mary Ann Deletti, Joanne Veneziano, Faith Cimino, Dorothy Robbins. Standing: Greg Allegrezza, Dave Cox, Dennis Tavano, Alan Kalpajian, and Joe Crisefulli. The Junior Ring Committee had the duty of selecting a ring for the class of 1961. The committee met with various salesmen from different companies to discuss many designs of rings. The committee limited the choice of rings to five. Their classmates then voted for the preferred ring. The five choices were displayed in the trophy case in the main corridor of the Milford High School. The class selected the ring with the impression of an open book, a quill, and a lamp stamped on each side of the synthetic ruby center stone. Around the stone printed in bold type are the words Milford High School”. On either side of the base of the ring is the class year 1961”. The members of the Junior Ring Com¬ mittee elected by their fellow classmates are Gregory Allegrezza, Paula Andreotti, Faith Ann Cimino, David Cox, Joseph Crisefulli, Mary Ann Deletti, Alan Kalpajian, Joseph Nigro, Dennis Tavano, Dorothy Robbins, and Joanne Veneziano. The Junior Ring Committee Mary Ann and Joe could almost care about the ring, but Faith and David at least pose. — 89 — The long-winded orators of the Senior Class relax after a rehearsal? The Oratorical Contest The annual National High School Oratorical Contest sponsored by the American Legion, was held in February. The five contestants, whose essays were chosen by members of the Legion Post were Jeanne Andreotti, Russell Edmands, Marlene Macklow, Ralph Mastroianni, and Lynda Pillarella. Miss Sadie O’Connell, head of the English department, took the group in hand and worked minor miracles in the pronunciation, gestures, and delivery of each speaker. The final presentation was made before the student body and members of the faculty in the auditorium. The contestants were judged by members of the faculty on the basis of content and delivery. After much deliberation, Ralph Mastroianni was selected as the winner. Each contestant is to be congratulated for the manner in which he delivered his speech. This picture was taken in one of the rare moments when Ralph wasn’t saying anything. — 90 — The members of the Student Exchange fro m Milford High School include Janice Ferraro, Elaine Gogliormella, David Cox, and Paul Lombardi. You pick them out. Student Exchange The annual student exchange program was held on March 15. Chairman of the program was Frank Tieuli, with David Cox, Paul Lombardi, Janice Ferraro, and Elaine Gogliormella attending. This year, the exchange students came from Springfield Trade High School to observe the town meeting and places of interest in Milford. A tour of Milford High School and Draper Corporation was conducted by Mr. Gabriel Di- Battista, who is in charge of the annual program. After the tour was completed, a supper was held at the Memorial School. Attending the supper were the Selectmen, School Committee Chairman, Town Clerk, Superintendent, Principal, and Guidance Directors. On April 11, the Milford High student ex¬ change students toured Springfield. Chairman of the Student Exchange and Good-Govern¬ ment Day Representative Frank Tieuli is lucky enough to pose beside Mr. DiBattista. — 91 — The members of the Prom Committee who worked so hard (?) to make the dance a success include seated: Barbara Pierce, Judy Giacomelli, Jeanne Andreotti; stand¬ ing: Paul Lombardi, Donnalee Mayotte, Louise Bracci, Ricky Vasile, Charlie Tomaso, and Dave Cox. Fred Belforti was skipping school when this picture was taken. Junior Prom Committee i Before the conclusion of our Sophomore year, we chose ten of our classmates to work on the Junior Prom Committee. This committee was officially organized during the month of April during our Junior year in order to make plans for our Junior Prom which was held May 6, I960. The committee worked with Mr. Lancisi in securing the King Philip Ballroom in Wrentham, in promoting interest among the students, and in making all other necessary arrange¬ ments to make the Prom unforgettable. It might be said that the committee had a comparatively easy job. This was the first time the entire Prom was held off the school premises and all decoration and preparation were taken care of by the proprietors of the King Philip. The most serious problem which faced the committee was getting enough couples to exceed the necessary quota. The limit of fifty couples was far exceeded, with at least seventy couples attending the dance. It was also the task of this group to get the consent of the school department to allow us to have the Prom off school grounds. Because of the work and concern of this committee, our memorable prom was made a success. Billy and Lynda march solemnly at the Senior Prom. Neither of these people was on the Prom Committee but we had the picture and the space—so there! — 92 — It must have been moonglow. Nothing else could have made us feel the way we did that memor¬ able spring evening when the Junior Prom was held in the plush King Philip Ballroom, May 6, I960. A date not soon to be forgotten by the members of our class. Setting a new precedent, the Juniors met at the Milford High School to travel in a body to the King Philip Ballroom in Wrentham. Never before had the entire Prom taken place off school grounds. As we entered the massive ballroom, our eyes widened at the sight of the polished floors and glass walls. Shimmering chandeliers illuminated the small round tables enclosing the dancing area and the stage. Ben C. Lancisi’s orchestra began playing softly as couples glided across the floor, dreamy-eyed, and humming faintly to familiar tunes. Downy-soft gowns floated through the air, crinolines rustled, and masculine eyes shone, as handsome escorts attired in creased tuxedoes and adorned with flashy cummerbunds and bow ties gazed into the starlit eyes of their dates. Cascades of roses, violets, and orchids filled the room with sweet-smelling scents. The Grand March, led by the class officers and their dates, preceded the delicious turkey dinner served at the stroke of midnight. During and after the meal dancing continued until the last strains of our theme Moonglow” indicated that it had come to an end. This elegant evening had come to a close, and yet its joys and delights will remain unforgotten in our minds for years to come. Perhaps, more than any other picture in the yearbook, this one brings back the most delightful memory. Leading the Grand March is Donna Moore with Henry Bodio, Lynda Pillarella with Bill Ather¬ ton, Marie Martinangelo with Fred Belforti, Arlene Kirsner with David Cox. The junior From Dave, Arlene, Fred, and Marie appear to be enjoying the lavishness of the King Philip Ballroom as they begin the Grand March. 93 — Mr. McDuff bids farewell to Mr. Carlisle; Ralph is wondering how Fred will get his hair back to its normal dark color. MUSICAL For one brief hour and a half during the evening of April 5, 1961, the John C. Lynch Auditorium was transformed into the excitement and fantasy of Broadway, as the curtain rose on the most colorful production ever performed at Milford High School. Swinging High”, a musical comedy by Moreylacey, Paul Weirick, and A1 Polhemus, all professional Hollywood composers and lyricists, was a unique departure from the Minstrel Shows which have been the standout of past years. Lights, brilliant colors, makeup, and weeks of hard work turned the cast from high Pat discusses with Mr. Lancisi the place¬ ment of the tree that we didn’t have at Kissing Rock Lane. school students to actors and actresses, singing with the intent desire to perform at the highest possible pitch. The wonderful sounds and sights of backstage before curtain time, the nervou s laughs, the anxious pacing, the frantic last minute stage directions, and the many deep breaths gave depth and a realistic touch to the splendor of the production which was to follow. The faculty and students of Cooper High were excellently portrayed by members of our Senior and Junior classes. Seniors, Ralph Mas- troianni, Jeanne Andreotti, Marlene Macklow, Janet Colanti, Robert Berardi, and Fred Belforti revealed their talents as a typical high school faculty. Juliana Zorzi, Jim Kenney, Donna Healy, and Arthur Trongone gave delightful perform¬ ances as average teen-age students. A vociferous chorus of twelve of our fellow students lent the final touch to make the student body of Cooper High complete. To finally make this extraordi¬ nary performance a marvelous success, Joe Nigro provid d a bit of humor as a flashy senator. The assembly of relatives and friends re¬ spond ' d so enthusiastically that a command per¬ formance was ordered for May 3. It is our opinion ' hat Elizabeth Taylor anl Burt Lancaster had be ‘:;r hold on tight to their Oscars. They might be s olen. Yet, behind the grease paint and costumes cf success, Swinging High” had a deeper significance. No group endeavor can be accom¬ plished unless all the participants pull together in a unified effort. This could not have been more clearly demonstrated than during that memorable production, for no one person alone can make — 94 — Ann takes a big breath and then — tooot. COMEDY a success. The whole cast were stars. Each con¬ tributed a very integral part in giving life to Cooper High School. Each actor and actress lived his part as surely and as convincing as if the stage were life itself. However, the acting, dancing, and singing are only as good as the music which forms the background and which leads each stage move¬ ment. A great deal of credit goes to the students who, under the supervision of Mr. Lancisi, sup¬ plied the needed, musical atmosphere. With the skill of professional musicians, they gave each number the lift and flavor of a Broadway influence. Such a success could not have possibly been accomplished without the untiring efforts of Mr. Ben Lancisi, director of the entire play. A great deal of responsibility fell on the shoulders of this capable leader. It might have been necessary for him to act like a tyrant at times, but he got his job accomplished. It was a job well done. Pat Carroll and Charles Roy deserve a hardy pat on the back, for they had to perform feats of magic as stage managers. To all we owe the credit for molding and co-ordinating each phase of the production into the polished Musical Comedy, Swinging High”. Certainly the cast will remember, not only their tremendous performance, but also the cele¬ bration supplied later at the home of Mr. McDuff, Ralph Mastroianni. These are a few members. Principal McDuff warns other members of the cast to let him have the floor at all times. — 95 — Sewing Clubs 71 Senior Sewing Club Knit one, pearl two.” Oops, dropped another stitch.” Now, what do I do?” These may well be used as mottos for our senior girls’ Sewing Clubs. These groups were organized at the beginning of the senior year by our girls with the original pur¬ pose of promoting an interest in sewing. Although it is rumored more news is covered at one of these meetings than Chet Huntley or David Brinkley could put together for a news broadcast, we find it almost impossible to believe, for the girls have displayed evidence of their handiwork. Marlene Macklow is envied for the beautiful, grey sweater she has made. Lynda Pillarella, too, has attracted attention in her skillfully made peach, cowlneck sweater and a certain senior boy displays the proof of Marie Martinangelo’s hard work. Highlights of the evening meetings include records, dancing, cards, chess, plenty of food (especially pizza), and often a visit from male outsiders. — 97 — SPORTS I Bev and Dawnette take a striking pose to make a charming picture for our yearbook. — 98 — Mr. Lancisi’s pride and joy!!!

FOOTBALL A high spirited scarlet eleven got off on the right foot by defeating Ashland 14-0 in the annual jamboree held at Northbridge. But for the remainder of the year Lady Luck” refused to shine on the Scarlets. The Scarlets managed but two ties out of the remain¬ ing eight games as they recorded one of the worst seasons a Milford High team ever received. Coaches Calagione’s and Stoico’s boys never gave up and always gave their best. Milford opened its season by receiving a 38-22 defeat at the hands of powerful Marian High of Framing¬ ham, a new addition to the Milford Schedule. The game was exciting from start to finish with some people going as far as saying that it was the best football game ever played at Fino Field. Milford rebounded by tying Clinton 8-8 at Clinton. Clinton tied the game with two minutes remaining in the game. A series of defeats followed from Marlboro, Bartlett, Hudson, Maynard, and Walpole in the annual Turkey Day classic 12-7. A tie with North Attleboro 6-6 was mixed in with these defeats. Co-captains Dave Cox and Frank Tieuli led the scarlets. Other seniors were Paul Lombardi, Brian Abretti, Ricky Vasile, Buddy Villa, Mike Moffi, Fred Belforti, Stan Barker, John O’Rourke and Jim Kenney. This year’s team, the team of 1961, wishes the best of luck for a successful season to next year’s team. One of our players falls to the ground as two opponents get away.

The final buzzer has sounded, the records have been turned in, and so ends another Milford High School Basketball season. The Scarlets ended the season with a record of 10 wins and 9 losses. The Scarlets were under the tutelage of Joe Stoico, a newcomer to the coaching-staff at M.H.S. Ex-coach Charlie Espanet resigned the past ye ar after establishing Milford as a basketball power. Coach Stoico did a fine job as his Scarlets finished in fourth place in the strong Central Mass. Con¬ ference League. Shewsbury captured its second straight title. Starting Seniors on the squad were Brian Abretti, Paul Lombardi, and Alan Kalpajian. Reserve seniors were Bill Atherton, John O’Rourke and Bill Mohan. Juniors Ernie Kapatoes and Eddie Robertson rate among the best as top scores in the league. Kapatoes scored over 300 points for the second year in succession. This year’s home games were all held at the State Armory. The school committee voted the armory over Lynch Auditorium because of the auditorium’s lack of space. The armory gave the Scarlets an opportunity to show what they could do on a regulation court. The Town Series was as exciting as ever this year with St. Mary’s winning two out ot three games, the third and deciding game being a 48-44 overtime thriller. Milford held a 10 point lead in the final quarter only to be tied at the end and later defeated by St. Mary’s. 102 — Brian and Alan make a violent effort to seize a re¬ bound from their opponents, Saint Mary’s High.

This year 35 candidates reported to Coach Espanet. Many questions remain to be answered in the coming season. Can the Scarlets again capture the conference crown, and can they repeat as being the Class B Champs of the state? Quite a big chore you say? True, but Coach Espanet will once again turn out another fine baseball team to represent Milford High School. Seniors Paul Lombardi, Frank Tieuli, Skippy Tosches, and Joe Crisefulli will all do their utmost to bring victory to M.H.S. As this book went to press the Scarlets had opened the season with two wins and no losses. Is this an indication that the Scar¬ lets will be again undefeated? We hope so! With a fine record behind them and their eagerness to prove their worth, the 1961 team has even greater expectations for the future. The fans are behind them 100 percent. vlas?

Bill Mohan, Alan Kalpajian, Tom Lynch, and Jon DeWolfe are the senior members of this group. CROSS COUNTRY The Milford High Harriers”, although not enjoying one of the most successful seasons in recent years, still managed to place fourth in the South Central Massachusetts League, comprising a record of two wins and seven losses. Two of the losses were heartbreakers. Milford lost to Oxford 29-31, and suffered a 29-30 defeat at the hands of Uxbridge. The Harriers were coached by Mr. J. Francis Cahill, and was assisted by Mr. Nello Allegrezza who held the position of coach while Mr. Cahill was in the hospital. The captain was Senior Tom Lynch, and the team was led by Charlie Fofo” Tomaso. Charlie has the enviable distinction of never having been beaten in league competition. The league’s eight-team meet was held in Milford this year with West Boylston winning the race, and the league crown. Milford placed fourth in the race, with Charlie placing first, as usual. The signs of larger teams and bigger attendances, especially at the joint meet, show that track is becoming a major high school sport. Other Seniors that turned in fine performances during the season include: Bill Mohan, Alan Kalpajian, Jon De- Wolfe, Bill Barsanti, and Bob Candini. Although the track team is losing many men, the prospects for next year look promising. Such men as: Dom Compagnone, Jim Black- ler, and Dan Cloutier will return to help Coach Cahill in producing another fine team. Tom Lynch and Mr. Cahill seem to have a weighty problem on their minds. Tough meet coming up? 106 — HOBS f m A II ] . Mi 1 ' V ' ' i 1 S P IJIPn j i Here are pictured a group of eager, young athletes. This is the freshman football team and although they do not play on the varsity yet, they are getting excellent experience and vital pointers from their new Coach, Nick Pacella. The Milford Frosh Team was imder the instruction of a new coach this year, Mr. Nicholas Pacella. The Scarlet Yearlings have the distinction of being the first undefeated frosh football team in Milf ord High School history. The frosh piled up an impressive record of 4 wins, no losses, and 1 tie. The young Scarlets started to roll when they defeated Marlboro 20 - 6 for their initial win. Successive victories over Clinton and Ashland followed before the Frosh had to settle for a tie with Marlboro in a return game. In the windup game at Clinton, the Scarlets finished their un¬ beaten record by winning 14 - 8. Prospects for the future varsity team look great. Coach Pacella has molded together a group of fine boys who have the desire to play football. Lively football action should be seen in the coming years. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Milford High has plenty to look forward to when John McGrath and Tony Chinappi join the varsity football team. Here they spent a minute with Coach Pacella. — 107 — ;ii Our very active Cheerleaders include Donna Powers, Maureen Zicolella, Judy DeSantis, Carol Marcus, Janice Ferraro, Colleen Petrilli, Marilyn Consigli, Jean Maietta. CHEERLEADERS These spirited girls are our M.H.S. cheerleaders, led by Captain Maureen Zicolella. Though our football season was rough and not too successful, these energetic, well co-ordinated girls cheered for our boys and led the students in loud, throat straining cheers. The basketball games also found our capable cheer¬ leaders singing out their praise for our hard-playing Scarlets. During the football season, with the permission of Mr. Tosches, we were able to stage several rallies. These enabled underclassmen to learn the school cheers and, gave certain senior boys a chance to show what they could do as cheerleaders. To cheer and win is our goal, We’re out to win the game, We’ll cheer them on to victory And hope you’ll do the same; No matter what the weather be How near or far we go We’re out to see a victory From all the boys we know. Maureen Zicolella Captain Maureen and Colleen are the only seniors on the Cheerleading squad. Colleen just doesn’t look too peppy today. — 108 — FRESHMAN BASKETBALL This year, the Milford Freshman basketball team under coach John Cala- gione had an abbreviated schedule of only two games. The Scarlets held their own in winning one and losing one. The Freshman defeated the Bellingham Fresh¬ man in their first outing, but then were beaten by the Uxbridge Jay-Vee team. Although the season was short, daily scrimmages were held among the Fresh¬ men and an occasional scrimmage with the junior varsity was arranged by Coach Calagione. Players seeing considerable action were John McGrath, Art Siipola, Alan Alves, Lennie LaFlamme, George De¬ Boer, Tony Chinappi, Dick Pilla, Jerry Wiltski, Richard Webster, Richard Luzi and Carl Maylo. — 109 — SPONSORS Dr. Michael Costrino Avon Shoe Store Attorney Mrs. Gordon Shaw Dr. Roy Ellsworth A.
