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

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. 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
