The Milford School Committee: Mr. Ernest Lombardi; Chairman Mr. Michael J. De Cesare; Attorney Pacifko De Capuo. Standing from left to right are Superintendent of Schools David I. Davoren; Mr. Robert McGinnis; Dr. Thomas DePalo; Mr. Thomas Cullen. SCHOOL COMMITTEE A typical meeting of a School Committee is prob¬ ably a very rare thing. The problems ranging from new building sites for a proposed new high school to the United States Supreme Court decision banning school prayer will vary with each meeting. This year’s committee did nobly in handling such problems. The school prayer ban, although rather less than popular, was handled with a good degree of wisdom and grace. The acceptance of the recom¬ mendations of the Harvard Report bodes well for future generations of Milford High students. The committee, individually versed in law, business, medicine, accounting, and education, is remarkably well balanced. The evidence of this is easily seen in the decisions which they have made during their tenure of office. Superintendent David I. Davoren 10

Decisions, decisions, decisions; Miss Pierina Ramelli guards the outer sanctum of Mr. Tosches’ office. During our four years at Milford High Mr. Tosches has helped us to achieve the goal toward which we have been striving. During this period of time he has directed several very important surveys of our school. The Harvard Survey Committee which visited us during our junior year was under his supervision in the high school. During the same year we were evaluated” by another team of teachers. As a result of this evaluation Milford High was again accredited.” The Harvard Committee found the school to be a sound one except for lack of physical education facilities and space for shop and home economics training. Mr. Tosches deserves the congratulations of the entire class for being the head of our school during the years when it has received such resounding accolades. 9
