Our school committee meeting in executive session! Mr. Michael J. DeCesare; Attorney Pacifico DeCapua; Mr. Robert McGinnis; Dr. Thomas DePalo; Mr. Ernest Lombardi; Attorney Alfred B. Cenedella, Jr.; Supt. of Schools David I. Davoren. We the class of 1962 wish to express our deepest gratitude to the School Committee. We sincerely ap¬ preciate the time and effort they have devoted in advancing the Milford school system. This year, for the first time since World War II, a member of this committee, Pacifico DeCapua, is serving in the armed forces overseas. The other five members are carrying on in his absence. Presently the major problem of the school commit¬ tee is finding space for additional pupils. Two of our classrooms are now being used by elementary students. The School Committee of 1862 probably faced problems similar to those of the committee of 1962. We are sure that the first graduating class was as grateful to their committee as we are to ours. SCHOOL COMMITTEE Vice Chairman Robert McGinnis and Chairman Thomas DePalo discuss policies pertaining to school business.
