[oc wfowe OAK, LILY, AND IVY THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL Milford, Massachusetts FOREWORD The year that was . . . filled with so much joy and laughter, pain and heartaches ... We, the class of 1969, will always cherish our football victory on Thanksgiving Day . . . the anxiety to dance to the Melody for an Unknown Girl— through our four years at Milford High School, we have worked together in striving for the most important goals in our lives—to gain unity and make it known that 69 is fine”—though our futures are but hazy shadows, our pasts are clearly defined, unfor¬ gettable memories. We are living the life that has been worth living and have made it only better than the best. The year that was—nineteen hundred and sixty-nine—can never be forgotten by us, for it is ours. In the following pages we shall see what took place in this memorable year of our lives.

Gerard Sweeney The publication of a yearbook is a result of the concerted effort shown by everyone on the committee. Once past all the disagreements, decisions, and deadlines, there is a feeling of pride when you think your yearbook is the best. There is always one person who stands by, with faith in your judgment, and who leads you over the difficult spots. We want to thank Mr. J. Gerard Sweeney, for his endless hours of work on our behalf, and for his continued trust in us. 7 Welcome to Mr. Condous 1969 was indeed a remarkable year. And it was made ever more remarkable by the presence of Mr. Jack Condous. A native of Adelaide, Australia, Mr. Condous taught at Milford High under a Ful- bright Foundation Grant. As head of the art department, Mr. Condous added a great deal of color to the school. He instituted frequent art exhibits in which the master¬ pieces of his students were displayed. Various artists’ techniques were sampled by our young artists under the watchful eye of Mr. Condous. In addition to his teaching duties, Mr. Condous provided the more inquisitive M.H.S. students with a wealth of information concerning Australia. By dint of films, lectures, and merely answering questions, Mr. Condous was only too willing to educate his Amer¬ ican fellows in the customs of his homeland. His Down-Under Club proved popular with the entire student body as well as the art pupils, and who could ever forget the Australian cheer rendered by Mr. Condous at one of our football rallies! In later years, as we look back upon our high school days, no doubt one of the most memorable experiences will be to many of us the pleasure of working with or just know¬ ing Mr. Condous. 8 We want to take this opportunity to express the deep affection to which we hold Mr. Phillip O’Donnell. He has gained our affection through his service as a librarian and as an inex¬ haustible source of varied information. Through our four years at MHS, Mr. O’Donnell has been an invaluable friend. Our senior custodian, Mr. Fred Di Giannantu- onio, has been threatening for several years to re¬ tire. For the sake of future classes, we hope he stays on. However, Mr. Sweeney is offering his best wishes from all of us. May the future be filled with winners and may the wind be aways be at his back. 9 Principal Paul F. Raftery and Assistant Principal Charles Brucato discuss pro¬ gramming with Administrative Assist¬ ant Joseph Tosches. V . — i a i Rev. Robert Hannum, Mr. Francis Fitzpatrick, Mr. Joseph Arcudi, Superintendent of Schools, Mr. David I. Davoren, Chairman of the School Committee, Mr. Thomas Cullen, Mr. Pacifkio De Capua, and Mr. Michael De Caesare; members of our school committee meet to solve the major problems of providing space for our expanding school system. Message from The School Committee As you complete your senior year at Milford High School and approach graduation and the days and the months that follow, allow me to pass on some words of advice which may be helpful. Bear in mind that it is the right of any citizen to criticize, to protest and to change the law in accordance with constitutional procedures. However, it is not one’s right to disobey or disregard the law even under the excuse of one’s own conscience. Seek to learn, not to demand. Seek to be guided, not to direct. Learn that criticism and suggestions are always welcome and always in order but force, threats or disturbances should not be used. Refrain from the use of physical violence, intimidation or the taking over of private property even though the temper of the times might indicate that such action is proper and correct. Reflect upon the foregoing and attempt to follow a pattern of conduct outlined above and I am sure that you will enjoy the satisfaction and the peace of mind which accom¬ panies proper conduct and behavior. David I. Davoren Superintendent of Schools 12 Mr. Davoren’s girls Friday, Mrs. Ahearn, Mrs. Curran, and Mrs. Kalunian, not only keep his office running smoothly and efficiently but also brighten his day.

Iff ' HIS mm 1 Miss Ramelli and one of her assistants, Janice Tocchi, sort out some of the paper work in the Principal’s office. n v r a 1 Mrs. Louise Cugini, Mrs. Anne Lombardi, Mrs. Jennie Trotta, Mrs. Marjorie Feccio, Mrs. Helen Caron work tirelessly to feed eight hun¬ dred hungry mouths. Mrs. Rose their supervisor was busy with her other duties at the Memorial School at the time when the picture was taken. 13 Mrs. Kalfon, Mrs. Brown, Miss Colavita, department head; Miss Marcus, Mrs. Bakstram, and Mr. Tredeau, members of the English Department, wonder where the next split infinitive is coming from. English Department A newcomer to M. H. S., Mrs. Kalfon was a welcome addition to the English depart¬ ment. She took an interest in her students, not only as students, but also as individuals. Another addition to the faculty was Mrs. Brown, a specialized teacher of drama and speech. Mrs. Brown organized the popular Drama Club, and opened the door to the fascinating world of acting. Walking into any one of Miss Colavita’s English classes, we could always expect to find her students in the midst of Shakespearean recitations, or telling gerunds from participles. Whether conducting an English Class or walking through the halls, Miss Marcus, a newcomer to the English Department, proved herself to be the friend of students as well as their teacher. Often being mistaken as one of the students, Mrs. Bakstram was a welcome addition to the English Department. Mrs. Bakstram also served as advisor to the active Future Teacher’s Club. Mr. Tredeau attempted to give us poise as speakers and prowess in tennis and run¬ ning. As cross-country coach this year, we imagine that he instructed the team to re¬ ceive their laurels with proper eye contact and good inflection.” 14 Mr. Ridolfi, Mrs. Driscoll, Miss Burns, Mr. Villani, department head; Miss O’Neil, Mrs. Hayes, and Mr. Sweeney meeting in the language lab try to solve the problems created by the Tower of Babel. Language Department Mr. Ridolfi made his debut at Milford High this year. Russian and German were his specialties. Mr. Ridolfi will long be remembered as a friend as well as a teacher. Verbs, nouns, idioms, whether in Latin or Engish, came alive in Mrs. Driscoll’s in¬ teresting classes. Mrs. Driscoll will always be remembered as a fine chaperone at our dances. Miss Burns, soft voice and gracious manner have made her one of our most respected teachers. Her students from French III are still talking about the plots of Colomba and Sans Famille. Whether we were in Mr. Villani’s French or Italian class made no difference. Students invented” new words every day. Pupils in Italian II waited eagerly for the days on which they could sing in Italian. Parlez-vous francais? Miss O’Neil helped to make our study of the French language both interesting and rewarding. After having Miss O’Neil, you’re sure to know the ’Timparfait” from the plus-que-parfait!” Mrs. Hayes made la langue francaise a very interesting subject. Her work with the French Chorale proved fruitful at assemblies. Mrs. Hayes was always eager to help any cause ranging from the Honor Society to the yearbook. Giving the fundamentals of a foreign language Mr. Sweeney’s classes were always fun, especially when Caesar was left on the Appian Way. 15 Members of the Math-Science Department Mr. Dittami, Mr. Allegrezza, Mr. Bibbo, Mr. Cecchi, Mr. Calagione, department head; Mrs. Duggan, Mrs. Phillips, and Mr. Hayes admire Galileo’s experiment on the law of motion. Math-Science Department Biology was made very interesting when it was combined with stories of Mr. Dittami’s adventures at Marian High. A star cross-country man, Mr. Dit¬ tami, has given boys valuable advice on this sport. In Mr. Allegrezza’s classes we students were al¬ ways certain of being taught a subject thoroughly. Mr. Allegrezza got so involved with his discussion that he never even heard the bell! ! Mr. Bibbo was the newest addition to the Science Department. Our Physics lesson being over for the day, Mr. Bibbo was heard expounding on his three favorite subjects: Clark University, his Siberian friend, Tanya, and the latest puns. Mr. Cecchi, trying to instill an interest in Science in his students, usually achieved his goal with extra projects and demonstrations. This year Mr. Cal took on two new jobs—the first, of being Head of the Science Department; second, of patrolling the cafeterias. At both tasks he has suc¬ ceeded greatly. Interpolation was easy to learn with Mrs. Duggan. She also made our study of sin,” cos,” and tan” much easier. Mrs. Duggan was also co-advisor for the Honor Society, and helped to make it a success¬ ful year. Log” was an everyday word in Mrs. Phillips trig classes. We often got very confused, but she soon had us on the right track again. In Geometry, she managed to get her point” across. According to Mr. Hayes, negative” is a state of mind, not the sign of numbers. We suspect that the D” of his first name stands for Dedication” to the basketball team, the Student Council, and the entire school. 16 The Department of Social Studies including Mr. Peters, Mr. Oliveri, Mr. Pilla, Mr. Di- Batista, department head; Miss Berghelli, Mr. Brann, Mr. Noferi, and Mr. Espanet; a healthy-looking group, choose the library as a spot to discuss the social problems of the day. Social Studies Department Mr. Peters was an asset to the Business Depart¬ ment and also the Student Council as its co-advisor. He could aways be seen around room 84 guarding the halls between classes with his faithful pointer. We could always depend on Mr. Oliveri to wear a real sharp outfit to the Faculty Basketball games. A ski enthusiast, he started our Ski Club, whose mem¬ bers have enjoyed many fun-filled ski trips. Under the direction of Mr. Pilla, our school news¬ paper editors have put out many fine editions. He was a confirmed ski enthusiast who forgot how to ski. Thanks to him, our Business Law classes were never dull. Modern European History mixed with often-heated discussions on current topics, was a great combina¬ tion for Mr. DiBattista’s classes. He also ably took care of the Student Exchange Program. Another new addition to the faculty was Miss Berghelli, who introduced underclassmen to the world and its problems in her geography and social studies classes. A newcomer to Milford High School was Mr. Brann. Teaching U.S. History and Sociology, his classes consisted of interesting new facts about our¬ selves as well as our history. That’s the UP staircase.” Familiar words were heard from Mr. Noferi, who helped M. H. S. stu¬ dents by advising the Junior Class and the Key Club, and by holding interesting social studies and math classes. Mr. Espanet gave all of his students an insight into world happenings. U.S. History and Government became bearable when taught by such an informed instructor. 17 Miss Calarese, Mr. Mehaffey, Miss Lee, Department Head Paul Scagnelli, Mr. McDevitt, and Mrs. Klein gather in a happy mood in the Business Practice room. Business Department Accuracy and speed are the goals Miss Calarese set for her students taking shorthand. The fundamentals and essentials of bookkeeping were made much more meaningful when taught by Miss Calarese. Learning speed and agility, plus good typing techniques were the profits gained from being in the classes of Mr. Mehaffey, a new addition to the MHS Business Department. Figuring out margins, centering, titles, etc, can be very confusing, but Miss Lee’s ex¬ planations made them simple. She could also be seen working on the bulletin board with members of the F.B.L.A. Mr. Scagnelli will be forever in our favor for making our IBM report cards possible. How else would we have been able to get them home to our parents so quickly? Feet on floor, eyes on books” were the famous words of Mr. McDevitt. He was a newcomer to the Business Department, and a fine addition at that. Mrs. Klein’s typing classes contributed greatly to seasonal spirit: they typed every¬ thing from reindeer to Easter bunnies. As an advisor to the Scarlet, Mrs. Klein was a driving force behind the staff. 18 Mr. Thatcher worked wonders with the band. His chorus was one of the best MHS has ever seen. Besides devoting his musical talents, Mr. Thatcher was a fine advisor to the majorettes and cheerleaders. Mr. Condous, our exchange teacher from Australia, fit in very well at MHS. His instruction, talent, and knowl¬ edge of art made him very popular with his students. Art Director Jack Condous shows some of his stu¬ dents’ work to Music Director, Mr. Thatcher. Mrs. Caswell helped many students by way of her read¬ ing classes. She also served as advisor for our newly- formed Pep Club and kept meetings running smoothly. We were all happy to see Mrs. Tebeau back at Milford High She worked tirelessly with the girls’ basketball team to bring out the best in each player. Mrs. Caswell and Mrs. Tebeau are in charge of our Reading Program. 19 Mr. Moran gave us plenty of good advice, whether it was on the courses we had to take, or in applying to colleges. The important decisions we had to make couldn’t have been made without his help. As a co-advisor of the Honor Society and one of the guidance directors, Dr. DeSalvia was always willing to listen to our problems and give good advice. His monthly calendar kept too many clubs from meeting simultaneously. By getting our transcriptions out on time and by pro¬ viding us with pamphlets and forms, Mrs. Visconti proved herself to be a true helpmate of MHS students. Mrs. Ciesla became a full-time guidance counselor this year, making her the third member of the Milford High Guidance Department. If we needed help inter¬ preting our College Board Scores, she was always avail¬ able for consultation. Mr. Moran, Dr. DeSalvia, Mrs. Ciesla, and Mrs. Vis¬ conti make up our guidance department. Mrs. Healey, our school nurse, will always be remem¬ bered as coming into school humming each morning. Everyone who entered her office was greeted by a smile, and just like that, we felt better already. A new addition to the MHS family” this year was our Mrs. Smith. As guardian of the halls and a helper to all, Mrs. Smith performed her job very ably. Mr. O’Donnell, our school librarian, helped many stu¬ dents in search of a book. He could quickly direct us to the right place and help us find exactly what we wanted. Mrs. Healey, Mrs. Smith, and Mr. O’Donnell take time out from their duties to pose for their picture. 20 Coach Biron has proven himself to be a magnificent coach and an all-around good guy. We hope he lingers long at MHS. (Sorry, girls, he’s already married!) We’ll remember Coach Corbin as the man who re¬ kindled school spirit and the will to win into every stu¬ dent at Milford High. Because of this man, honor, pride, and desire will always reverberate throughout the halls of MHS. Coach Bogan was a lion with a warm heart for his players. In football and wrestling he set the example as an excellent athlete and a fine gentleman. Mr. Biron, Mr. Corbin, and Mr. Bogan are the new faces in our Athletic Department. Through his chemistry and science classes, Mr. Scanzaroli tried to make us think scien¬ tifically. His specialty in chemistry was teaching us to name a carbon compound cor¬ rectly. Miss Callahan helped us learn all about the English language. Any one of us can now give you verb tenses, adverbial phrases, or spelling rules forwards or backwards, with no trouble at all! Miss Callahan and Mr. Scanzaroli don’t mind the fact that they missed the picture with their respective departments. 21 Ed Arminio, Joe Rota, Ross Mazza- relli, Richard Cassinelli, and Mike La- ronga lead the cheering at a football rally early in the year. ✓ Debbie Mael, Secretary; Elbe DeMaria, Treasurer; Ed Arminio, President; Denise Mas- troianni, Vice-President; gather in the teachers room with class advisors Mrs. Barbara Ciesla and Mr. Leonard Oliveri. The members of the class of 1969 enjoyed and shared many happy times together, such as the Junior Prom and Senior Hop, the cake sales, candy sales, and other class activities. These things will always be fondly remembered as part of our high school days. However, they could not have been possible without the help and understanding we received from our class advisors. We want to thank Mrs. Barbara Ciesla and Mr. Leonard Oliveri for the time and effort they gave us. 24 D.A.R.

FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman year is one of expectation and discovery: eager young faces look for¬ ward to four years of really growing up. High school dances, games, car washes, cake sales, proms, stacks of applications, and finally graduation await the Class of 72. The class showed plenty of spirit in November when they were campaigning for class officers and student council members. President Vincent Colelli, Vice-President Matthew Manella, Secretary Mary Jane Booker, and Treasurer Linda Baci organized formally as a class under the direction of Mr. Hayes and Mrs. Phillips. The freshman football and basketball teams had successful seasons. The players show much promise, and with three years of physical education behind them, the boys should form formidable teams as Seniors. Girl athletes also abound and were enthusiastic on their teams. The freshmen are now almost-sophomores.” We, the Class of ’69, hope that their years at M.H.S. will be just as rewarding as ours were. 90 In this partnership one works, one dreams, and one supervises. These freshmen are working dil¬ igently, but wait until they be¬ come upperclassmen; they’ll know better then. How come Billy’s the only one with books? Sophomore class officers and their faculty advisors. SOPHOMORE CLASS After two years of becoming accustomed to high school, the Sophomore class is look¬ ing forward to entering its Junior year. Plans have already been begun to make the Junior year a very successful one. This year, through the co-operation of everyone, money was raised to help allay some of the Junior year expenses. The Sophomore class also decided to donate a gavel to the school to be used at all class meetings. It is also hoped that the freshmen class appreciated the many efforts of the class of 71 in trying to help them make the adjustment to high school. The officers of the Class of 71 are Jimmy Krikorian—Vice President, acting President, Tom Vitalini—Treasurer, and Jamie Cassasanta—Secretary. 92 Why is Linda in such a h appy mood? What do you expect to see through those glasses, Judy? Junior class officers and their advisors. JUNIOR CLASS The class of 1970 had its first meeting in October under the guidance of its advisors, Mr. Noferi and Miss Burns. Nominations were made for the class offices and the fol¬ lowing officers were elected: Gary Balian, President; Mark Ahearn, Vice-President; Karen Papelian, Secretary; and Steven Scott, Treasurer. A regular meeting was held thereafter on the second Monday of each month. Each season had its own fund-raising activity—a food sale in the fall; a highly suc¬ cessful calendar-towel sale at Christmas time; and a car-wash in the spring. The highlights of the year were the receiving of our rings and the Prom. (To help us to pay for these, a Junior Budget Club was inaugurated.) The rings came late in Febru¬ ary and for the first time the girls were wearing a small stone class ring. We had our Prom on April 21—a dinner-dance at the King Philip Ballroom in Wrentham. Every¬ body came—our parents, the school committee, the administration, the teachers, and the CLASS OF 1970. Kenneth Siple and Cathy Cozzens were the co-chairmen of the com¬ mittee which made this a memorable occasion. It was a very good year! 94 Hey, Harry, this is no time to sleep. Pat’s grin looks s ural as everyone smile. Looks like Claudia’s ready to give one of her famous giggles. JL . 1 ml [ I 1 95 Mr. Hayes and Jerry Secco are two of the reasons why our Junior Prom was such a success. 96 Mari Jane, the camera is this way!!! Some diligent O.L.I. workers take time out to pose for a picture. Here is another group of hard working O.L.I. members. O. L. I. This year, the 88th edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy once again presented the Milford High School Seniors. Patty Lynch was appointed editor-in-chief and her duties for the year began. The crew was first picked by their initiative for selling candy, and by their willingness for hard work. And is it ever hard work—for every member!!! In between all the work and deadlines, we also had fun with activities sponsored to raise funds for the publication of our book, such as the candy sale, green cake sale, and the Spring fashion show. Our staff this year included: Assistant Editor, Joyce Manna; Business Manager, Ross Mazzarelli; Literary Editors, Debbie Mael and Joseph Rota; Sports Editors, Nicholas Zacchilli and Mary Small; and typist, Gaye Jordan. Mr. Morin could frequently be seen at MHS taking pictures, but when he couldn’t make it, our own Ronnie Brown and Arthur Adam did the job very nicely. What important O.L.I. business are Ronnie, Patty, Joyce, and Ross discussing?? 99 iiiiFCMQ: • ' A KEY CLUB The Milford High School Key Club started its sev¬ enth year of operation this year. The club is composed of 23 members of the upper three classes, each membei having to display outstanding qualities of leadership service, and high scholastic capabilities. The club’s main purpose is service: service to school community, and country. This has been accomplished ir many ways. In serving the school, the club sponsored tht most successful dance of the year, sold booster button: at football games to instill school spirit, and sponsorec the awarding of the two Key Club Scholarships to de serving seniors. In serving the community, the clul worked hand in hand with the Milford Conservatioi Commission in the clearing of the Kiwanis Park are: of thick underbrush and litter. In serving the country the club has brought each boy a little closer to the trui meanings of democracy and brotherhood. The club’s hard working faculty advisor is Mr. Mi chael Noferi, a teacher, who has been advisor for th past three years. This year’s officers are: Nick Zacchill President; Gary Balian, Vice-President; Jack Malnat Treasurer; and Mark Heitin, Secretary. Look at those legs!!! Mr. Noferi and Key Club horsing around. Student Council officers and advisors. STUDENT COUNCIL Gobble, Gobble!! . . . what is that? . . . It’s the newest way to promote the Thanksgiving Drive by the M. H. S. Student Council. A live turkey in front of the office was only a small part of the reorganized council’s new look. Leading the council for the 1968-69 year were President, Joe Plichta; Vice-President, Frannie Niro; Secretary, Lisa Oliveri; and Treasurer, Patty Lynch. Elections for four representatives from each class were held as elections for Town meeting members are held. The class officers from each class then made up the rest of the council. The council formed such new committees as the Student Welfare Committee, the Constitution Committee, the Program Committee, and the Publicity Committee. A successful Harvest Dance was held. A wishing well was the scene of money jingling for the Biafran Children. With the help of its advisors, Mr. Peters and Mr. Hayes, the Council had a successful year and paved the way for future councils by increasing stu¬ dent and faculty participation and support. Many different expressions show on the faces of the representatives of the senior class. nr g t ' -Tfc. Vr- hi r l ' L Ti 1 � JH Several members of the class of 1968 were included in our picture taken in May 1968. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY On May 10, 1968, twenty-eight new members were inducted into the National Honor Society during a ceremony held at Milford High School. Officers elected for the 1968-69 school year were: Nicholas Zacchilli, President; Deb¬ orah Mael, Vice-President; Joyce Manna, Secretary; and Philip Ciaramicoli, Treasurer. Mrs. Agnes Duggan and Dr. John DeSalvia served as faculty advisors. This year the Milford Society joined the Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the Re¬ gional Honor Society, and five members accompanied Mrs. Duggan to the annual con¬ ven tion held this year at St. Mary’s Central Catholic High School. The members had a sucessful year sponsoring cake sales and a Christmas Dance to help boost the treasury. High minded and mini-skirted, our group awaits induction. 102 Mr. Condous always seems happy when he can talk about his native Australia. THE AUSTRALIAN CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Condous, our exchange art teacher, the Austrian Club has been finding out what a billabong is, how kangaroos hop, and what makes a boomerang come back. In reply to Mr. Bren¬ nan’s article in the Scarlet, we now know that Aus¬ tralians don’t ride horses to school after helping to ' drove” the sheep out to the paddocks. The size of Aus¬ tralia is the same as the U.S.A. minus Alaska and Hawaii, but has far less people; 12 million compared to America’s 200 million. The people are well educated and progressive. The two big A’s” both have a lot to offer, but as Mr. Condous says, the climate down under is warmer, so all you clubbers hurry up and visit us. You’d be given as warm a welcome as we have received in Massa¬ chusetts. The snow is the only cold aspect of our stay.” Mr. Condous thinks that it’d be a good idea to have more student exchanges between the two countries, as not too many Americans know much about his far off land. We would like to thank the administration and teachers who have made the exchange possible, for it is a stimulating experience to share our thoughts with a teacher from Aussie Land.” These future Aussies” listen attentively to a lecture on the art of throwing a boomerang. 103 STUDENT COUNCIL INDUCTION In order to promote more student concern with the functioning of our school’s government, the student council has inaugurated a program of active committee participation. In conjunction with a more formal manner in which the council members are elected, an induction ceremony was held. Another event taking place in the fall was Open House. The purpose was to acquaint the parents with the faculty and marking procedures of the school system. Some of the students became more aware of their marks than they would have liked to. Mr. Cullen addresses the student body during the induction ceremony. 104 Raise your right hand and repeat after me ...” OPEN HOUSE FUTURE TEACHERS ' CLUB The eyes have it as future teachers group in the science lecture room. Mrs. Bakstram left us shortly after this picture was taken. Unique in many ways, this year’s Future Teachers’ Club can boast of eighty-three members including every class. Though most of the members were girls, our club now has thirteen boys—the lucky, un¬ lucky number. Mrs. Bakstram, advisor of the Future Teachers’, has offered sound guidance and helpful ideas for the club. The year began with a trip to Bridgewater State Teachers’ College. While there, Juniors and Seniors gained an insight into college life. The club viewed films from the Massachusetts March of Dimes in cooperation with the P.T.A., and a teacher-student panel discussion was held. The club’s social committee has planned cake sales and food sales. The first F.T.C. dance to be held in April will center around the theme of Little Abner” in which the auditorium will be transformed into Dogwood, USA!!—Jubilations! The major program of the year is being formulated by our four- man school committee” which is developing a system in which mem¬ bers of the club will be allowed to observe and act as volunteer teachers in local elementary schools. Fine leadership and enthusiasm has been shown on the part of the officers of the club: Lynn Derderian, President; Ellie DeMaria, Vice- President; Ellie Freedman, Treasurer; and Betty Curran, Secretary. The Milford High School Future Teachers’ Club has enjoyed a successful year. Within four years our school can expect a massive return of excellent teachers, the product of this club. The Future Teachers of class¬ room subjects are backed up by Phys-ed majors. Our Lovelies of the class of 1969. HARVEST DANCE Musty leads the parade. Under festoons of orange and black, renegades from the Milford dumps and cemeteries danced till eleven. Costumes ranged from Black fairies to Grand¬ father clocks to Budweiser beer cans. One mysterious ghost supplied chrysanthemums for the entire school while protesting with a sign reading BOO!” Seniors could be seen chasing Mr. Morin and pos¬ ing in hysterical displays of their mentalities. Prizes were won by Ronnie Platukis—alias ? an M.H.S. cheerleader. Nancy Bodio was a bat, and Shirley Garabedian won as a grandfather clock. Halloween night was the perfect setting for the largest attendance ever at a Harvest Dance. Because of well-organized student council committees, the dance was a complete success. Unknown underclassmen surround Malnati. 107 FRENCH CHORALE Les Petites Chanteuses. Les Petites Chanteuses; under the direction of Mme. Marie Hayes, has this year begun a scholarship fund. The money is raised by dues collected for the first time in the organization, but the girls are more than willing to help support this very worthy cause. The scholarship is to be awarded to a graduating member of the senior class who has excelled in French and shows a deep interest in the language, and who is planning to further his or her education in that subject. Also this year there are officers within the group of singers. Janice Nargi is President and Grace Seigel is Treasurer. The French Chorale, though a small group, is an ambitious one. The girls have performed at many various functions and activities. They opened the Christmas Season at Draper Park, performed at the installation of Student Council officers, presented a medley of carols at the annual high school Christmas program, and they sang at the National Honor So¬ ciety Induction in the spring. Congratulations to Mrs. Hayes for her time and efforts in producing a fine French Chorus. SKI CLUB Our ski enthusiasts meet with Mr. Oliveri to plan the next trip. • fdl rape ’idriU w m vr ‘By Eir 1 The Milford High School Ski Club, under the su¬ pervision of Mr. Leonard Oliveri, enjoyed one of its finest ski seasons this year, because of the abundance of snow. The President of the Ski Club is Cheryl Mangini ,and Denise Mastroianni is Vice-President. The club went on several trips to Waterville Valley at a minimum cost to the members. The club’s many prayers for snow were finally answered this year, much to the chagrin of the r est of us plain mortals. Think Snow,” the club motto, really paid off. 108 CHESS CLUB Hey Janice, that’s not fair! The M.H.S. Chess Club, under the direction of Mr. Allegrezza, wound up a successful year of interschool play. However, the schedule was not as full as the team would have liked; and in order to encourage more schools to hold matches outside of their own ranks, the team tried to establish a League consisting of Milford, Bellingham, Uxbridge, Hopedale, and other surrounding towns. Since the majority of the members on the team are Seniors, Mr. Allegrezza is hoping to recruit fresh¬ men and sophomore boys and girls to help fill in the gaps left by graduation. It is sincerely the wish of the present club that future teams will be as prosperous in their winnings as they were. SCIENCE CLUB Mr. Bibbo starts to explain the theory of relativity to an eager science class. This year, the Science Club has been re-organized to promote scientific ideals rather than to be just a social group. Membership was open to any M.H.S. student who was sincerely interested in science and who was willing to do a project. Meetings were in¬ formal seminars and laboratory workshops. Members researched everything from crystals to talking on a light beam. When any problem arose on our projects, such as determining which end of the microscope is the eyepiece, Mr. Bibbo and Mr. Dit- tami, our co-advisors, were always ready to help. These projects were presented to the group for analysis and discussion at the monthly meetings. 109 Messrs. Biron and Began are serious operators in front of a good meal. Four feet of cleanliness. BanD doesn’t wear off as the beat goes on! Burns at work. We washed cars . .. we beat the drum ... on occasion the faculty enjoyed a hearty meal. All four years were replete with poignant memories. In our efforts to raise money, we tried everything legal. The car wash resulted in a hefty profit, some partially clean cars and the most sanitary feet in the area. Our new coaching staff arrived and immediately put on several pounds. Bobby Burns made an appearance at a car wash and quickly made a shambles of the whole affair. All in all, we loved every minute of it-. We raised money for everything from Biafra to the yearbook. It’s not always this bad—it’s just that our clothesline broke 111 Beth, Sherri, Roberta, and Susan listen with interest to the representative from Colby College. These are the people who helped make our College Night” a success. 112 In October, Milford High joined with St. Mary’s High School, Hopedale High School, and Nipmuc Regional High School to hold a College Night.” This program was sponsored by the guidance direc¬ tors from each school. Present were representatives from many four-year and two-year colleges, and several nursing and busi¬ ness schools. These representatives met with students and their parents to give them a description of their schools and their courses of study, and to answer any questions about the school. The program proved to be very successful and in¬ formative for all those who attended. We wonder if Paula and Cheri really read all those booklets?? COLLEGE NIGHT Bobby and his mother were there, eagerly learning about different colleges. 113 FUTURE NURSES ' CLUB Members of the Future Nurses’ Club who are seated: Diane Wor¬ sham; Mrs. Healy, advisor; and Debbie White; standing: Mary Holland; Janice Tocchi; Rosalind Julian; and Mary Small. Looks as if they will be capable of handling any emergency. The Future Nurses’ Club consists of members from each class, Seniors through Freshmen. The girls receive a pin each year and annually hold a field trip. The club’s main purpose is to help girls to find a career in nursing and to choose the right school. The club’s activities include a Thanksgiving food drive, visits to hospitals and nursing fairs, a drive to help a needy family at Christmas time, and informal counseling to girls. The officers of the club are: Mary Small, President; Diane Worsham, Vice-President; Leslie Christmas, Secretary; and Janice Tocchi, Treasurer. All are mem¬ bers of the Senior Class of 1969. The club’s advisor is Mrs. Getrude Healy, the prac¬ ticing nurse here at Milford High. This is a well-formed club to keep the girls informed by open-houses and club meetings. With the cooperation of Herr Russel Ridolfi, Milford High’s German Club has reappeared after a lengthy re¬ tirement. This, it’s first year, has been punctuated with films on Germany and her culture, interesting field trips, a cake sale, and a German style Christmas party. The club’s prime objective is to offer an entertaining pro¬ gram while at the same time presenting a worthwhile study of Germany. The club meetings have been well attended, and the members feel that the club has been a success. The elected officers are Betty Curran, President; John Fernandes, Vice-President; Elinor Freedman, Secretary— Treasurer. One factor greatly influencing the club’s suc¬ cess was the joined enthusiasm of the officers and mem¬ bers. Herr Ridolfi, likewise, has been very generous with his time and helpful with his encouragement. As a member of the National Federation of Students of Germany and the Goethe Institute of New England, the German Club has tried to expand the American view ' of modern Germany. Whether or not the club has fulfilled its objective can only be measured by the effect it has on its members. GERMAN CLUB These Senior members of the German Club from left to right: Joan Skaff, Harold Nelson, Stella DiCamillo, Mary Cross, Steven Stadig, Elinor Freedman, and Alice Curran; standing around their advisor, Mr. Ridolfi, seem to be happily planning a trip to Ger¬ many in the future. 114 Eagerness and worry show on the faces of the contestants be¬ fore they give their oratoricals; pictured with speech coach, Mrs. Brown, are from left to right: Philip Kratszch, Elinor Freed¬ man, Alice Curran, Mary Kraft, and Hyman Stramer. MERICAN LEGION ORATORICAL CONTEST On January 28 the American Legion Oratorical Contest was held in the John C. Lynch Auditorium before members of the Junior and Senior classes. Each of the five contestants, Alice Curran, Elinor Freedman, Mary Kraft, Philip Kratszch, and Hyman Stramer, delivered an original essay on some phase of the United States Constitution. Under Mrs. Brown’s fine guidance the contestants excelled in pre¬ senting their orations to the audience. After consider¬ ing the orators on the content of their compositions, poise, and manner of delivery, the board of judges, Albert Sayles, principal of Hopedale High School; Dr. Vincent Arone, member of the Hopedale School Committee; and John O’Brien, superintendent of schools in Hopkinton, selected Mary Kraft to repre¬ sent Milford High in further compztition and Philip Kratszch was chosen alternate. The annual participa¬ tion on the part of Milford High students in the oratorical contest confirms the fact that today’s high school student has an interest and knowledge of American government. Both contestants and mothers seem pleased by the perform¬ ances just given; the contestants and mothers are from left to right: Mary Kraft, Mrs. Saul Kraft, Mrs. Abraham Freedman, and Elinor Freedman. 115 Hey, Ronnie, this is no time for an audition! THE DRAMA CLUB There’s an all-new look to the Drama Club this year. Under the able guidance of Mrs. Brown, the new di¬ rector, the members are learning the basic skills and functions of staging a play, doing pantomimes, and even trying improvisations. The gentle arts of lighting techniques, make-up, ac¬ quiring props, costuming, and scenery design, all very important and integral parts of a successful stage pro¬ duction, have been discussed by the club members. And, with Mrs. Brown at the helm, the club hopes that its efforts will be culminated into a play at the end of April, with auditions open to the entire student body. Needless to say, the ability to act is greater in some than in others. But the Drama Club is trying to release the student from his apprehensions and inhibitions about acting before an audience; and in some cases, true talent can be brought to the surface. 116 Will any of these Drama Club members find the road to Hollywood? Our Good Government Day representative this year was Peter Macchi. Mark Ahearn was voted to be our U.S. Senate Representative. BOYS ' STATE Representing Milford High School this year at Boys’ State were Nicholas Zacchilli and Peter Macchi, with alternates Arthur Krikorian and Michael Marashian. 117 Our F.B.L.A. and Business Service Club leaders look ready for business. FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA AND BUSINESS SERVICE CLUB The Future Business Leaders of America, (F.B.L.A.) is a nation wide organization made up of business students, who plan to further their education in the field of busi¬ ness. Its main office is located in Washington, D.C. In order to be a member, dues are required. Half of the local dues are sent to the organization so that the student will re¬ ceive his membership card, while the other half goes toward th scholarship at the end of the year. Before the club can begin its functions of the year, officers must be elected. The results for the current year were: Dennis Fitzgerald, President; Susan Boccasile, Secretary; Treasurer, Denise Mastroianni; and Historian, Susan Tomaso. Two field trips were held in the vicinity of Framingham and Worcester. The club was successful in having guest speakers from Andover Institute and Bryon Stratton. A $100-dollar scholarship was given to a student who plans to further his education. I t is earned by writing a composition on why he wants to further his education. Also, Senior students are assigned to teachers to type and also do mimeographing and dupli¬ cating. 118 These are the Senior members of the F.B.L.A. and Business Service Club. There should be a law against all this snow. SNOW . . . particles of water vapor which when frozen in the upper air fall to earth as soft, white crystalline flakes . . . definitions are not always com¬ plete. Much more colorful descriptions were given by the lucky people who dug out a driveway . . . skidded into a snowbank ... or left their car ma¬ rooned on Route 16. A wonderfully mild winter changed overnight to a blastedly rough one. Mr. Condous looked forward to some snow, and the Ski Club Thought Snow.” Most of them shovelled it. Contemplating a snowball fight?!? 120 Banks without money. To watch the trees fill up with snow. 7 ; n r Speak a bit slower, chap, I can’t understand a blinkin’ word. Vicky, can’t you take your sculpture seriously?? Mr. Condous is all smiles as he admires his students’ work. Mr. Thatcher thinks Australia has possibili¬ ties. 122 A YEAR WITH JACK CONDOUS The visitor from down under—arrived in the best of times to take up residence on the shores of Lake Nipmuc. Autumn beauty of New England lured Mr. Condous into a sense of false security. The early and midwinter made him an expert skater. He sam¬ pled hockey and mastered the art of figure skating. Mr. Condous’ lovely wife spent happy hours with their children, Mick and Flip, enjoying the wonderful winter. Mr. Condous’ most fervent wish, to see some snow, had obvious results—in February it snowed and how it snowed!! Mrs. Condous thought snow a bit repetitious, and Mr. Condous shoveled snow against the plows. We enjoyed them—we admired them—we thought them wonderful—we’ll miss them. So this is snow. I’ve always wanted to see some.” Condous, Book 1, Chapter 1, Verse 5 123 If these speech contestants can stand before an audience and judges to deliver their speeches, they shouldn’t be shy about posing for our camera. SPEECH FESTIVAL With Mrs. Brown as coach, the participants of the 1969 Speech Festival, held at Holy Name High School in Worcester, brought glory back to the old Alma Mater. From the nine Milford High competitors, four became state finalists; and the others made highly commendable showings, missing the cut-off mark by very few points. The finalists were Lynn Derderian in poetry reading, Grace Siegel doing a humorous prose interpretation, Sally Vitali in play reading, and Joseph Rota with a serious prose interpretation. The remaining contestants were Kevin Rice, Janice Nargi, Olga Mohan, Barbara Ferguson, and Barbara Symonds . Mrs. Brown was very pleased to see the relatively large number of students participating in the Festival, and a great deal of credit for the success achieved must go to her. We hope Lynn doesn’t try to recite her poem and smile like that at the same time. Editor Mary Kraft and Assistant Editor Barbara Symonds and faculty advisors Mrs. Klein and Mr. Pilla look pleased with a recent edition of The Scarlet. THE SCARLET The role of the school newspaper, of any newspaper, is to report the news. The Scarlet, now in its third year of formal existence, has been keeping Milford High students informed on student, teacher, and alumni news, as well as fashions and sports. Our newspaper serves another role for those who play an active part in the quarterly creation: that of a creative outlet for any member of the school community who wishes to participate. Both teachers and pupils are welcome to contribute any article. The experience gained by working on a newspaper is of mutual benefit to the students and the paper. This year, The Scarlet was awarded a certificate by the New England Scholastic Press Association for superior achievement in scholastic editing and publishing.’’ The paper was also accepted by the Quill and Scroll Society, a national honor society for school papers, as having potential for leadership in scholastic journalism. Editor Mary Kraft was granted a four-year tuition scholarship to Boston University for her achievement in high school journalism. With a staff like this one, how can a newspaper be anything but a good one? 125 4 Our guests take time out from their tour to pose with their student hosts on the court¬ house steps. STUDENT EXCHANGE On March 12, 1969, Milford High was visited by four students from Worcester Boys Trade High School. They were greeted by Milford High’s Student Exchange Committee Pete Macchi, Art Krickorian, Nick Zacchilli, Linda Nigro, and Debbie Mael. In the morn¬ ing the boys were given a tour of the high school. The students were then treated to lunch at Speroni’s. A trip to the new courthouse and a tour conducted by Judge DiVitto made up the afternoon. The Judge highlighted the tour by locking the two girls in the detention cell. Mrs. Rose provided a beautiful supper at Memorial cafeteria with the school administration, town selectmen, town clerk, student exchange advisors, and school committee members in attendance. At night the city boys, saw small town government at work at the first Town Meeting of 1969. Thus, was the end to an interesting and en¬ joyable day. 126 Exchange teacher and exchange students swap thoughts about Milford High. Worcester Trade Technicians spend a day at M.H.S. and attend the town meeting at night. 127 The officers lead the Grand March. THE JUNIOR PROM As the Jerry Seeco Orchestra played Melody for an Unknown Girl,” we found it difficult to believe we were really at our Junior Prom. All the shopping, planning, and preparing climaxed in a most beautiful April 17,, 1968, evening at the Glen Ellen Country Club. The warm and starry spring night was perfect for the Prom. We danced in a dream world to such songs as Love is Blue,” Cherish,” Impossible Dream,” and A1 Di La.” Girls were queens and boys their chivalrous knights. The walks by the pool, the lively grand march, the American-beauty rose centerpiece, even the shattering of a glass on the floor—this night was magic and will always be part of us. 128 The Prom Committee looks satisfied with the results. l;i ' if .

CHORUS At the Dedication of the new courthouse, our voices echoed through the halls. -■ Without fail, every Tuesday and Thursday, the band room comes alive with song. Mr. Thatcher is responsible for discovering the hidden talents of the students of dear old M.H.S. The first presentation of the Chorus was December 19. It was the traditional Christmas Concert and was high-lighted by the Negro spiritual Children Go Where I Send Thee.” The Executive Board is headed by Ellie DeMaria with Mari Jane Mainini as Vice-President. Valerie Hollander is Treasurer and Ellie Miller, Secretary. The Chorus is accented by the A Cappella Choir and the Double Quartet. The two groups are noted for sing¬ ing classical selections at all concerts. They can be heard before school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on Wednesday nights. To get everyone in the Christmas spirit, the Chorus and the Band put on a successful Christmas Concert in¬ cluding various carols. The spotlight of talent shone on Eleanor DeMaria as she sang a beautiful solo. On other songs, the sweet soprano parts were heard by such voices as Diane Wor¬ sham, Mari Jane Mainini, Barbara Ferguson plus many more. The altoes came in strong with Susan Tieuli, Jackie Costello, and Barbara Symonds to name a few. The two Joes—Joe Locantore and Joe Rota dug down deep in their boots to come up with a beautiful base section. The tenors—Richard Tumolo, A1 Brunetti, Jose Vierra and others came through with their parts. The Concert ended up with a rollicking Negro Spiritual. The public soon realized that Milford High students could really sing. Naomi Mael accompanied the Chorus on the piano at all events. The Chorus appeared at the Dedication ceremonies of the new courthouse between snowstorms, and they stole the show. Tears came to our eyes as Ellie sang her last O Holy Night.” Come on, kids, let’s all sing out!! Mr. Thatcher’s first edition of the Milford High School band attracts the attention of all on a cold day in November. BAND Seniors Cheri Mangini, Maria Piazza and Elinor Freedman are surrounded by the majorettes. Listen ... Is that Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass? No! It’s Donald Thatcher and the Milford High School Band doing an excellent reproduction of that ever so pop¬ ular Teaberry shuffle. Herb must have had these young musicians on his mind when he wrote that one. This song was a smashing success, and because of popular de¬ mand was played throughout the entire football season. This was not the end but rather the beginning of our musically inclined genii, who after a series of magnifi¬ cently successful half-time shows, rushed right into hard practice once again, and in a remarkably short amount of time produced one of the greatest Christmas concerts ever to hit Lynch Auditorium. Leonard Bernstein would have been proud to conduct these fine youngsters who are exceptionally proud of their new music director, Mr. Donald Thatcher. Off-stage activities included election of the officers: President, Edgar Muntz; Vice President, Joseph Tosches; and Secretary, Anthony Chianese. Now in store in 69” for the band are several parades, a spring concert, and possibly an exchange concert with a school at Cape Cod. The band will be minus five great and talented musi¬ cians: Nancie, Tony, Muntzie, Joe, and Jack. I’m sure M.H.S. is going to miss them,.and they will be keeping Down Beat” magazine writers and readers busy as they pursue their careers in music. Color Guards Monica Jackson, Janice Tocchi, Charlene Jacobs, and Maureen Gulino offer protection to Elinor Freedman, a majorette. Senior members of the band are Edgar Muntz, Nancy Caruso, John Chianese, Joe Tosches and Anthony Orifice gathered on the front steps of the high school.

S Varsity Football Squad 1968 with Coaches Corbin, Bogan, Biron, and Parrella lineup at Town Park. VARSITY FOOTBALL The M.H.S. Scarlet Hawks, under the able coach¬ ing of Richard Corbin and his assistants John Bogan, Leo Biron, and Bob Parrella, finished the 1968 season with a record of 2 wins, 6 losses, and 1 tie. The record, however, does not give a true picture of the brand of football displayed by the team. The townspeople will never forget the 68” foot¬ ball season, for the spirit, determination, and pride which for so long had remained dormant within the walls of M.H.S. and were finally brought out in full. The Hawks played the roughest and most in¬ teresting game of football seen in the area in many years and were never counted out of a game until the final whistle. The brightest spots of the season saw the Hawks emerge victorious over the 1968 Midland League champs, Maynard, and St. Mary’s, with the best game of the year ending in a tie with arch-rival Marlboro. The team effort shown in these games was symbolic of that which was shown all year. Coach Corbin and co-captains Juna and Joe discuss pre-game strategy. Would you believe I-Squad?

Coaches Michael Brita and Alfred Calagione as well as the team showed the desire and pride so needed for a winning team .Victories were registered over Northbridge, Shrewsbury, and Hudson, while defeats came against Marlboro (2), Marian, and Maynard. Judging from the progress made during the season, the future of M.H.S. football seems in good hands.

Basketball Team ended the year with a record of 10 wins and 9 losses, the best effort put forth by the Scarlets in many years. The Scarlets started off with a bang, and after a lull, which appeared would doom them, made a great come¬ back, winning 8 and losing only 4 games. Although the team won its share of games, many heartbreakers were lost in the waning seconds and in overtime. Led by Co-Captains Joe Plichta and Fran Ruscitti, the hoopmen placed third in the tough Midland League and also captured the Town Series by defeating St. Mary’s. Pacing the team were Seniors Paul Cogliandro, Lou Celozzi, and Joe Plichta. Other standouts were Juniors Mike Jordan and Mike Prece, and Sophomores Tom Vitalini and Carl DiLeso. With the bench strength shown this year, the Scarlets are sure to be a major power in the future.

WRESTLING This year, under the experienced and watchful eyes of Coaches Corbin and Bogan, wrestling was introduced to the varsity sport scene at M.H.S. Competing against such established teams as Leominster, Dedham, and Wakefield, the matmen compiled a very good record of 6 wins and 4 losses. Never before have so many shouting, cheering spec¬ tators jammed John C. Lynch Auditorium to urge the Scarlets on to victory. The way people carried on, es- specially mothers, one might say that wrestling has caught on in Milford and is here for good. The agility and ability displayed by Roy Testa and Pat Fullum; the determination of Pete Ruscitti and Joe Alves, the cunningness of Mike Celeste, Bib Hannum, Rich Abbondanza, and Jim Krikorian; the potential of Tom Duft, Jose Violante, and Frank Goodnow; plus the overall effort of departing seniors Nick Zacchilli, Paul Garagliano, A1 Brunetti, and Fran Sartain made the team an interesting one.

The Fourth Annual Faculty Basketball Game was held on March 7, 1969, before a capacity crowd. Proceeds went towards the Men’s Club and Key Club Scholarships. In the opener, the Girl’s Varsity was handed a 37-36 loss at the hands of the Alumni. This was a good showing against such pros” as Barbara Altieri, Candy Hutchinson, Linda Bacchiocchi, and company. Starring for the Girls were Charlene Jacobs, Mary Small, and Beverly Hill. In the feature attraction, the Varsity edged out a strong Faculty by an 80-74 score. Mr. Cal really had his team up for this one, as two players Mr. Biron and Mr. Pilla hit for 18 and 11 points respectively. The rest of the scoring was about evenly divided be¬ tween such veterans as Mr. Condous, Mr. Brita, Mr. Tredeau and Mr. Peters plus a few amateurs. The Varsity was led by Paul Cogliandro, Lou Celozzi, and Joe Plichta. One of the highlights of the night was the appearance of the Faculty Cheerleaders,” who put on one of the finest exhibitions of cheering seen in the area. What’s Mr. Noferi running for now?? A blocked shot equals a week of detention!! 143 The Cross Country team looks ready to meet any opponents. CROSS COUNTRY John Shaver finishes in the neighborhood cross country meet at St. Mary’s. Under the never-say-die coaching of Mr. Robert Tre- deau, the Cross Country runners ended the season with a 2 and 6 record. Although the season was not a total success, the boys showed true pride in their running, never being completely outrun by opponents. Led by Co-Captains Dick Badis and Richard Tumolo, the runners started and ended the season with powerful victories over Clinton and Maynard. Other seniors that will be dearly missed next year are Fran Sartain, Jack Chapell, and Rich Guido. Cross Country seems to be on the upswing at M.H.S. with the prospects for next year being the brightest since the inception of the sport at M.H.S. Mr. Tredeau checks race strategy with Captains Tumolo and Badis. The Girl’s Basketball Team gathers in the gym for pictures. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL This year, for the Girl’s Basketball Team, can be called a somewhat successful season,, for there was one more win than last year. (This is only varsity). The Junior Varsity made a fabulous showing as they came in with four wins and five losses for the record. There should be a great bouncing season next year if they do as good as this. During the season the coach, Mrs. Tebeau, put a lot of her never-ending effort into the whole activity and came out still smiling and raring to go for the Alumni Game, which was played between the present team and the last year’s graduates on the girl’s team. Mrs. Tebeau hopes to coach next year but seems doubtful as to what next year will bring. She concludes that this year was the best year for the team as far as their defense was concerned, as she quotes, their defense was at the peak of perfection this year.” To end the season, there was a buffet in honor of the team. It was then that the two senior co-captains, Linda Nigro and Charlene Jacobs, presented Mrs. Te¬ beau with a plaque from the entire team for her untir¬ ing and unselfish effort. As the Girl’s Basketball season progresses there always seems to be one more win every year. Well, you know what that means, girls? There’ll be three wins next year. The object of the game is to- Next year the team will be without the services of these seniors; Beverly Hill, Mary Small, Linda Nigro, Charlene Jacobs, Vicky Barriolo, and Barbara Clements. Our senior cheerleaders, Diane Worsham, Sue Covino, captain Sandi Besozzi, Frannie Niro, and Mari Jane Mainini. CHEERLEADERS This year the new school spirit was greatly demon¬ strated by our hard-working cheerleaders. Through their long practice sessions, these girls arranged and worked hard on new routines and cheers for our successful ral¬ lies, games, and bonfire. Whether cheering for football or basketball, our cheerleaders continued their support of our team, and along with the fans, urged them on to many victories. The cheerleaders also practiced their stunts and pyra¬ mids to perfection in getting ready for the tournament at David Prouty High School where their efforts are always rewarded. The pep and enthusiasm shown by this group was a tremendous boost to high school sports. Frannie looks to Mrs. Healy for encouragement, hoping she’ll be able to cheer again before the season’s over. 146 fj . ' A ' , r;v.

The club was opened to all inter¬ ested girls and was counseled by Mrs. Caswell. The girls sold shakers and drew many posters. At 7:00 in the morning, they decorated Fino Field before the football games. A highlight of the club’s year occurred when the leaders Ellie DeMaria, Mary Del- fanti, Linda Nigro, and Denise Mastroianni carried a casket with a Tiger in it across the Thanksgiving Day Football Field. The Pep Club has proved itself to be an active organization and a true promoter and supporter of school spirit. 147 Business Manager Ross Mazzarelli receives pay¬ ment for an ad from a representative from the Draper Division of North American Rockwell. $ !

Fashions were at their utmost everywhere this year, including Mil¬ ford High School. Lynch Auditorium, decorated in a spring-like scenery, took on a new look as the O.L.I. presented the latest spring fashions before a capacity crowd. Senior girls, with the aid of Mrs. Conduos and a few underclassmen, graciously modeled many casual, and formal cre¬ ations as well as a few of the old-fashioned look” creations. Diane Worsham tactfully described the clothes and proved to be a very elo¬ quent commenator. Mrs. Condous models the fashions of the day and gives them a down under look. ART FESTIVAL The Fifth Annual Student Art Show was officially opened on May 8 by Secretary of State John F. X. Davoren. This year’s exhibit included many pieces of sculpture and pottery, crafts, paintings, and collages done by students of Milford Fligh and Stacy Jr. High. Highlights of the exhibition were fifteen pieces of work done by Mr. Jack Condous, individual displays by workshop students and works done by Australian students under the direction of Mr. Clark Brennan. Many long hours of hard work made this exhibition a success. For the first time, prizes were awarded to deserving students and were donated by local firms and clubs to deserving students. Prizes were won by Sam Sullo, Kiwanis Club; Kathleen Boone, Quinshipaug Wom¬ en’s Club Art Award; Joseph Locantore, Rotary Club; Mauro Maressa, Home National Bank; and Mary Ohanesian, Casasanta and Bedrosian Builder’s Award. Mr. Condous said, ' Response for outside donations has been tre¬ mendous. The experience of preparing for such a show is a good thing for the students; it is a fine way of urging young creative people.” Top: Secretary of State John F. X.

Dancing to Jerry Seeco, and led by class advisors Mrs. Barbara Ciesla and Mr. Leonard Oliveri, the class found itself in the midst of having a ball.

CLASS PLAY Curtain Going Up”, a three-act comedy was presented in the school auditorium on Friday, May 2. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Carolyn Brown. The scene throughout the play was the stage and auditorium of Riverview High School during and immediately following the production of the high school play. Kevin Rice, Mary Ann Fine, and Debbie White are in real costume for the play. Chris Eagles and Steve Scott almost stole the show. Seniors enjoyed the decorations. Probably the most complete reformation ever made in the auditorium. If the town meeting had seen that hall on that night, it would have probably decided against a new school. SADIE HAWKINS DANCE In an auditorium decorated with flowers and crepe paper the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance was held on March 21. Smiling couples began to arrive at 8:00, after eating delicious dinners at several of the restaurants around Milford. Under dimmed lights we danced away the evening to the music of Jerry Seeco II, and were served refreshments at the tables surrounding the dance floor. Mrs. Smith was on hand with her camera, snapping pictures of the girls, their dates, and their beautiful flowers. The seniors joined together for the Teaberry Shuffle and Mexican Hat Dance, while underclassmen stood by watching and laughing. The entire dance was one of the most fabulous affairs ever held at Milford High, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Hayes, Mr. Peters, and the Student Council.

DEDICATION During one of the most coloful ceremonies of Senior Week, and certainly the one which was most productive of tears (see back cover), the dedication of the yearbook was made to Mr. Leonard Oliveri, a senior class adviser and member of the faculty. Highlighting this event was the appearance of Dr. Bedrosian, a graduate of the class of 1950 and nationally known for his work in food research: Dr. Bedrosian, the brother of Mrs. Kalunian of Mr. Da- voren’s staff, was president of his graduating class and offered advice to the assembly which was practical and wise. Arrangements for the candlelight ceremony were made by Mr. Harold Moran. Mr. Moran denies doing this before the turn of the century, but research proves that the most successful of dedication ceremonies were affected by his magic touch. The singing by the choir and the dedication recited by the members of the OLI staff made the occasion one very hard to forget. Dr. Bedrosian addresses a graduating class, after 19 years. ; Mr. Oliveri accepts the dedication from Patty Lynch during a moment he will long cherish, during the colorful candlelight ceremony. Rosalie Julian receives congratulations from Mr. Davoren and Mr. Scagnelli on the occa¬ sion of winning an award. The chorous sounds off at a joint concert with Westboro High School. The chorus again in more proper dress. The Future Teachers held a tea at the close of the year. GOLF TEAM The Milford High School Golf Team had a favorable season this year. Under the direction of Coach Paul Scagnelli their season record totaled 5 wins, 5 losses and 2 ties. Five members of last year’s team returned this year and along with two new members combined forces to tie off the 1969 season. This year, however, the team will be losing only two of its senior members, Captain Bob Moro and Mike Laronga. Returning next year to keep the ball rolling will be juniors, Steve Bouchard, Mike Jordan and Jay Emmitt; sophomores, newly elected team captain, Walter Brown and Gary Iacovelli. Coach Scagnelli and the team members are promising that next year will be an even more successful season than this one.

Although the girls have only two victories to boast of, they played heads-up ball in every contest. Mr. Noferi’s team consisted of only six experienced players but the newcomes displayed a lot of hustle and spirit which are so vital to a team. The girls had many close scoring games but only managed to hand defeats to Bellingham and St. Mary’s. Graduating are seniors, Mary Small and Barbara Clements. The leading hitters of the team were: Debbie Julian, Shirley Garabedian, Elly Miller and Diane Milani. Heavy-hitting Leslie Dickinson led the team in extra base hits. The pitching duties were shared by Janet Worsham and Bonnie Bufalo with Denise Charest com¬ pleting the battery. CHEERLEADERS Our ’68-’69 cheerleaders, usually full of pep and vitality, take some leisure time to sit down for a well-deserved rest. Our cameraman found these in a rather unusual musical mood gathered around the Steinway in the auditorium. They are from the left, Andrea Bernardi, Maggie DiAntonio, Maria Costanza, Cathy Cozzens, Ann Pagucci, Amy Dominici, and Brenda Besozzi. TRACK AND FIELD TEAM Co-captains Jim Langlois and Joe Rota look over the list with Coaches Calagione and Biron. An active track and field team, led by Coach Leo Biron, completed a very successful season. Beating St. Mary’s, Marlboro, Hudson, Algonquin and Clinton, the team lost only to Maynard and Shrewsbury. Appearing in the tough competition of Midland League meets and State meets, the team competed very successfully. Richard Badis, Rich Rideout and two-mile runner Richard Tumelo joined such stalwarts as Rich Guido, Fran Sartain and Brian Keefe to help make these meets happy ones. Actually, the whole team performed well and to select a starring role for an individual is not only difficult, but unfair. The senior members of the team are pictured at Fino Field before one of the meets. The proud Tennis Team. TENNIS TEAM The Milford High Tennis Team ended an excellent season this year with a ten win, three lost record. Helping to bring about these fine victories were Paul Cogliandro, Steven Zerndoffer, Jeff Lovell, Kevin Rice, Bob Hannum, Dave D’Allesandro, Joe Pes- sotti, Ralph Marcus, and Larry Shane. Every¬ one put in a fine effort under the direction of Coach Tredeau, and their effort was rewarded by such a fine season. At the spring banquet, all the senior players were commended and given a gift and Dave D’Allesandro was awarded Most Valuable Player. Coach Tredeau and his able seniors, Dave D’Allesandro, Stephen Zurndoffcr, and Paul Cogliandro. Compliments of HAROLD ' S 199 Main Street Milford, Mass.
