THE STUDENT PRINTS AND YEARBOOK STAFF Here is the gang behind those issues of the Student Prints this year. The seniors of this group were also on the staff which produced the Yearbook. The editor-in-chief, Barbara Fisher, was the one who was always urging them onward to bigger and better issues. Mr. Chartrain, the ever-willing and capable adviser, really added greatly to the success of the magazine and Yearbook. The reporters and numerous editors were essential to the magazineis success and were always trying to increase the size as well as to improve the content. All did their jobs well.

SENIUR CLASS PLAY Novemher 22, 1949, finally came, and during that entire day, there was a nervous g'I'0UP of fourteen seniors anxiously awaiting the hig moment. At 8:07 the curtain finally rose on A Date NVith Iudyf' our long awaited senior class play. I know we will always rememher our leading lady, Indy, who did such a splendid job with her leading man, Oogie. VVe will always remeinher the hat which Oogie wore and what a great sensation it made along with his terrific acting. The final curtain fell, and there was a great sigh of relief from everyone in the cast. into that play had gone many hours of rehearsal- done eve- nings, during school vacation, and after school. Mr. Chartrain and Miss Walker did a splendid joh of coaching the play, and we are all snre that it never would have heen produced without their assistance.

THE TRAFFIC SQUAD The traffic squad, under the supervision of Miss Alice Herlihy, has kept order in the corridor during the past year. They could be heard saying: no talking, pleasef no fooling, pleasef no running on the stairs, pleasef and yes, you may get a drinkf, Courtesy and a smile from the traffic officers made their fellow students feel more like obeying the rules for passing orderly from one class to another. Another duty of the traffic officers was to see that the students filed out of the building in an orderly way when there was a Fire drill. In the years to come, when we visit Milford High School, we shall hope to find the traffic squad still doing an eflicient job. in 4 fda? 3541 ffm .. .

GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL Our lassies Wound up the basketball season in a spectacular fashion by winning the Monadnock League Championship Without a defeat. In the last four games of the season Milford's high powered outfit ground out victories over Peterboro, 64-38, Appleton, 45-33, Wilton, 87-51g and the Nashua-Y- Seniors, 71-15. In the last league game of the season Milford met their old rival, Wilton. In our opinion this was the girls, game of the year. Many of the girls on the court were playing their last game in the uniform of Milford, and they were determined to come home with a victory that Would set new records - and they did. When the smoke cleared away at the finish, Milford had scored 87 points to Wiltonis 51. Of these 87 points, Sandy,, Hutchinson, playing the most brilliant game of her star-studded career, contributed a miraculous total of 60 points.

GIRLS, IAYVEE BASKETBALL Our jayvee team this year showed great promise. They played several games, and some of the players are regarded as potential stars. Betsy Haskell has shown ability to hit the hoop with deadly accuracy and with another year of experience will be a hard girl to keep track of on the court. Rumor has it that she may prove a capable replacement for the big vacancy left by Sa11dy,' Hutchinson. Doris McCormick has also proved herself on the basketball court. Fast and accurate, she is considered the kind of player to have around when the going is rough. If she continues to be as outstanding next year as she was this year, she will undoubtedly earn a well-dese1'ved spot on the varsity squad. ln the backcourt, Phine', DiSanto has been playing a good, hard, clean game. Alert and always in the game, she has improved a g1'eat deal this past season. It is hoped that with a little more experience she will be able to fill janet Carpentiere's shoes. All other members of the Iayvee squad are hard-working girls who play a good clean game. They deserve a happy and successful season next year. The best of luck to a team of good basketball players, THE SENIOR YEARBOOK BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: Wayne Fisher, Thomas Forsyth, Dennis Comolli, Arthur Comolli, Robert Malone, Robert Germino, james Forsyth.

BOYS, VARSITY BASKETBALL Mr. Harry Botsford, a graduate of Boston University, was the coach of the team this year. He replaced George Taylor, who left Milford to serve at Rochester, New Hampshire. Lost through graduation from last yearis team were Russ Philbrick, Ed Trentini, and Dick Morell. Arthur Comolli, though a veteran senior this year, was unable to play due to a skin infection. The boys did not have as successful a season as last year, nevertheless they made a good record. They won twelve games and lost eight during the season. They missed qualifying for the State Tournament by one game. At the Townsend Tournament they won their first game but were eliminated in the second by the ultimate champions. They finished second in the Mon- adnock League. They will lose three regulars through graduation: center, Dick Brown, forward, Ralph Stinson, and guard, Dennis Comolli from this yearis team. Prospects are bright, however, for next year with two-year veteran Tom Forsyth, plus regulars Bob Fraser, Bones Germino, and Ioe Villane. The second team and Jayvees will give valuable help.

BASEBALL After an impressive 11-4 record last year, Coach Botsford looks ahead with confidence as he prepares the 1949-50 team for the coming season. This yearis team is loaded with veterans from last yearis team. Among the veterans are Jim Hartson, Dan Fraser, Bob Fraser, Dick Vonlderstine, Ioe Villane, Rollie Hardwick, Ron Philbrick, and Sal Crasso. Last year the team was eliminated from the State Tournament in a play- off game. This gives the team new enthusiasm for a good year and the tournament. THE SENIOR YEARBOOK THE M. H. S.

QUARTET A year ago last fall the quartet of Milford High was organized under the direction of Mr. Robert Fredrickson, the music supervisor at that time. The quartet gave their free time and study periods for rehearsals. It didn't take long before many civic as well as school organizations requested perform- ances. The quartet sang in the spring concert and on Class Day last year. This year under the new director, Miss VVanda Libby, it continued where it left off and performed at various functions. All four boys had leads in the operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore, this spring. Darius Robinson, Dennis Comolli, and Arthur Comolli are planning to attend the University of New Hampshire this fall where they hope to continue their singing. Barbara Fisher, the accompanist, will attend the New England Conservatory of Music. NVaync Fisher will be the only one left in school, and he will help to form a new quartet of which the school will be proud. THE SENIOR YEARBOOK M. H. S.

They were as follows: president, Leonard Manninog secretary- treasurer, Mary Linnag librarian, Carol A. Burgess. We gained six new mem- bers-Carl Chase and Janice Rafter, clarinet, Thelma Paige, trumpetg Frederick Hiltz and Fritz Wetherbee, tromboneg and john Heelon, bass drum. Under the leadership of Miss Wanda Libby, the band advanced enough to obtain new music consisting of eight classics and a folio of standard marches. Efforts were made toward getting better tone production and be- coming better acquainted with the different conductors. The members of the senior high music appreciation class often conducted the band at re- hearsals. The band played for two parades, and was one of the features in the Christmas Concert. A concert was given for the grade school children to increase the interest among them in playing instruments. They also per- formed at a few basketball games. VVe were honored by having Aido Richelli and Richard Ames, both clarinetists, play in the symphonic band at the state music festival in Manchester. We hope that another year will bring greater success. fkxsx it :J U 1 s THE SENIOR YEARBOOK Here They Are lack H eelon As a waitress Phyllis is fine, At the Milford Restaurant she puts in her time. At the noon lunch, Margaret is always on the run, Over at the high school she is always chewing gum. Laura was frantic when she got that two, Although to the Seniors they passed out quite a few. The thing in Dickis life that is an important factor, Yup, youive guessed it- that beat-up tractor. Betty Bruce is bashful and shy, But she never neglects to catch a manis eye. I hope that I will see the day When janet's shorter than Bobby Nay. When at a dance George will never be sitting on a seat, The girls like to dance with him because he is easy on their feet. In years to come when I have a tooth to till, With Arthur as the dentist, Iill skip the bill. When Dennie goes to college, I'm sure he will be missed By the ladies at the card parties on the nights that they play whist Bob Daniels' Dodge is not too new, But it gets him home when school is through. Mary Drew does not show any mercy When she goes out with her boy friend, Percy. Ed DuC-ray is very very short, But he looks tall with his one and only - Dot. Barbarais knowledge will do her no harm, But she wonit need it on a chicken farm. Edna is a willing worker, Whom no one can call a shirker. On the baseball team Danis quick as a dart, His favorite song is Peg 0' My Heartf' Who is making all the noise in room 22? Oh, it's Donald Gavin, Ducky to you. Sal is the boy who likes to play cards, Especially poker because whist is too hard. Whenever you hear some corny wisecrack, The cause of it all is bound to be Jack. At Coleman's Drug Store Shirl can be seen, She was also chosen our Sno-Ball Queen. If Ianetis in the play, it will be a success without a doubt. When the curtain rises, the people begin to shout. Sandy Hutchinson is really on the beam YVhen she chalks up points for our basketball team. When Bob drives, he shows no fear. Soon people will think Hying saucers are here. Doris Jones, who rates in her school work, Also works part time as a soda-jerk. THE SENIOR YEARBOOK From her past record, Laura will never be sick When she teaches the kiddies reading, riting, and rithmetic. Charlotte Lavoie is not as quiet as she seems And she is quite active on the basketball team. Everett Leach has quite a time In chemistry class, we think he's Einstein. Clyde works in the First National Store You can call him Clutzy, and he won't get sore. Charl is usually dressed to kill, Her favorite saying is, Yep, guess t'will. At the school dances, where the lights are dim, When they play a fast record, Kitty speeds around the gym Whenever I want a cigarette, no matter what day, I can always rely on good old john Nay. When the girls are around, Ronnie spreads on the flattery. He is also a member of our baseball battery. Keith, with eyes so blue and skin so fair, We think you are good looking, but please comb that hair. I bet Bruce is glad he has his car. For when he wants to go swimming, the quarries are so far. Pat is a girl who always stays home As Rio Rita she is also knovm. Buster Riley doesn't have to fret Because he's on speaking terms with Henry Gillette. You will always find Darius running around in his shorts Across the street at the tennis courts. A businessman Herrick should be Every picture he takes he says 50 cents please. In the navy I hope Art knows aft from fore, If not, his commanding officer will leave him on shore. When Joanne is librarian there is no disorder She is also known as our high school reporter. All Ralph says is: Oh, my feetg I get so tired walking up and down Nashua Street. Hazel as a teacher will not be mean After she graduates from the college at Keene. When Alma sings, the people don't want to go home. Someday, I bet, she'l1 sing with Vic Damoane. jerry is known as Oppenheimer in our class Because of his knowledge of the atomic mass. When someone gets a homerun, you will find, Nine times out of ten, it is Dick Vonlderstine. Who is the girl that likes that Nashua fella? It is good old Barb, the original Ella. Herb is full of a lot of humor, I guess he is a second joe Laurie, jr. To most people, I guess, this sounds crazy. But, this is to remind the seniors in future years If their memory is a little hazy.

None regret those four years spent in the acquisition of knowledge, for they have been years of fun as Well as years of work. Let's go back for a moment through those years, and recollect what they held for the Class of 1950. September 1946 - june 1947 Rooms 10 and 14 were assigned to the new and, supposedly, dignified freshmen on September 4, 1946. It was soon ascertained that we had gained eleven new members which made a total of sixty- nine members in the Class of 1950. Those who came from Brookline were: Nancy Barnaby, Beatrice Beals, Glenn Brown, Lawrence Corey, Nason Fessenden, Homer Ingalls, Phyllis Powers, and Alan Reynolds. Donald Gavin came from Amherst, Iva McCormack from Greenfield, and Darius Robinson from Wolfeboro. We welcomed as our class advisers Miss Doris johnson and Miss Enes Bazzocchi. At our first class meeting we elected Richard Brown, presi- dent, Dennis Comolli, vice-president, Sandra Hutchinson, secretary, and Daniel Fraser, treas- urer. Dorothy Robinson and Daniel Fraser were chosen as our representatives on the Student Council. Our class reporter for the Student Prints was Dennis Comolli. ' Our main social event for the year was the Freshman Hallowe'en Party. The feature of the evening which stands out most in our minds was the chamber of horrors. Remember all that gooey macaroni? After Christmas vacation two new students, Joyce Blackmer from Lucerne, Maine, and Barry Williams from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were added to our class roll. In March we sponsored a class party which was well attended. Our classmate, Herrick Romney, was on hand to take group pictures at the party. The many freshmen on the basketball teams made the games especially interesting for us that year. In june we, as full-fledged freshmen, attended Class Day exercises - the first time for most of us. At this time we also learned of the resignation of our jovial headmaster, Mr. John Clark. We looked happily forward to our sophomore year - when we would no longer be regarded as the lowliest creatures in the high school. September 1947 - Iune 1948 In our second year we welcomed as our new headmaster, Mr. Eben Hutton, from Lisbon. Room 32 was our homeroom, but we had some- how acquired many, many stairs to climb each day. Sharing our room with us were two new students - Mary Drew from Wilton and Irma Wil- son. Daniel Fraser was elected president, Shirley Hills, vice-president, Charlotte McCallum, secre- tary, and Dorothy Robinson, treasurer. Miss Doris johnson returned as our adviser, and replacing Miss Enes Bazzocchi, who had left, was Mr. Ray- mond Camp. Our Student Council representatives were Gloria Peters and Everett Leach. Hazel Taylor was our Student Prints reporter. Again our class was Well represented on the basketball court. This time there were thirteen of our class taking part. Three other members from the class were cheerleaders and helped pep us up at the games. These were: Alma Trow, Dorothy Robinson, and Eddie DuGray. Our first social function for the year was a dance which was held after the basketball game with Appleton that fall. A vic-dance was spon- sored by the class in March of that year. Then came the major annual sophomore event, the Kaley Prize Speaking Contest, which was held on April 15. The first prizes that year went to Barbara Fisher and Arthur Comolli. Other con- testants were Shirley Hills, Laura Karnis, Charlotte McCallum, Dennis Comolli, Clyde Lusk, and Dari- us Robinson. Many sophomores had principal parts in the presentation of the operetta, Meet Arizona, on April 22. Some of these were Arthur Comolli, Lawrence Corey, Phyllis Powers, Darius Robin- son, Alma Trow, and Gerry Villane. And so another year of our high school career had passed. September 1948 - june 1949 Our class numbered fifty-three when school 8 THE SENIOR YEARBOOK opened on September 8, 1948. The Brookline students transferring to Nashua High School caused the decrease in number. Juniors! How pleasing that word sounded when we began to think that in a year we would be seniors. The class officers elected for that year were: Daniel Fraser, president, Shirley Hills, vice- president, Barbara Fisher, secretary, and Dennis Comolli, treasurer. Miss johnson and Mr. Camp were our advisers. Later, Mrs. White replaced Miss johnson, who had left because of illness. The junior reporter for the Student Prints was Patricia Regan. We began our activities with a Harvest Supper. This was a very successful function and our class treasury was thereby enlarged. Basketball was again the most popular sport, many showed a great interest in the newly organized Tennis Club. Six members of the class were in the A. A. Play, Little Women. On December 10, we sponsored a vic-dance. In addition, on every Thursday in De- cember we sponsored card parties. It was on April 21 that we presented the hilari- ous comedy, The Dafy Dills, starring Charlotte McCallum, janet Hokinson, Mary Drew, Alma Trow, Barbara Fisher, Laura Karnis, Phyllis Ayers, Patricia Regan, Arthur Comolli, Keith Pomeroy, and Herbert Wexler. Miss Carden did an excellent job as our director. Something every junior class looks forward to is, of course, the junior Prom. Ours was held May 20, 1949, with a summer garden theme for the decorations. George Kay's orchestra provided the music. The last event of our junior year was the dance for the seniors which was held following gradua- tion exercises. Thus the third year of our high school life ended. September 1949 - june 1950 Seniorsl At last we could claim that word for our own. As usual, the senior homerooms were rooms 21 and 22. The election of class officers was held during our second class meeting. The following were elected: president, Dennis Comolli, vice-president, Shirley Hills, secretary, Barbara F isherg and treas- urer, Clyde Lusk. We welcomed our new class advisers, Miss Nagle and Mr. Pomeroy. The class colors, blue and white, decorated the class key which was hung above the door in room 21. We chose for the class motto, We Finish To Begin. Everyone on the yearbook staff under the di- rection of Mr. Chartrain has worked very hard to make our yearbook a success. We started our senior year with a Harvest Dance which was held on October 19, 1949. The gym was attractively decorated a la harvest theme, and Ken Foss' orchestra provided the music. Our senior class play, A Date With Judy, was a social as well as a financial success. janet Hokin- son, as Judy Foster, and the rest of the cast con- sisting of Barbara Fisher, Laura Bianchi, Mary Drew, Edna Foumier, Phyllis Ayers, Alma Trow, Charlotte McCallum, Betty Bruce, Herrick Rom- ney, Donald Gavin, Edward DuGray, Dennis Comolli and john Heelon did an exceptionally fine job of acting. Miss Walker and Mr. Chartrain were the able directors of this play. At the Sno-Ball, which was held February 4, Shirley Hills was chosen Snow-Queen. Winter Wonderland was the decoration theme used for this social venture. We have had other money raising events dur- ing the year. One of these was a successful indoor carnival which was held on April 27. Features of this affair were a fortune telling booth, a foto- frame-up, and Donald Gavin selling colored balloons. Many fine prizes were given away at the conclusion of the festivities. Although our class was unable to go on a class trip this year, we are planning to have a final get-together. Now we have achieved our goals - Baccalaure- ate, Class Day, and Graduation. These momentous days in our lives are days never to be forgotten. No matter where we may be or what we may be doing, we shall not forget our four wonderful years at Milford High, nor shall we ever forget the Class of 1950.

THE SENIOR YEARBOOK Mary: Darius Mary : Darius Mary: Darius Mary : Darius Mary: Darius Mary: Darius: Mary: Darius Mary: Darius : Prophecy of the Class of 1950 Mary Drew and Darius Robinson Rushing along on a famous New York boulevard in the year 1960, whom did I meet but my old friend and classmate, Darius Robinson. Hello, Mary. What have you been doing since you left Milford High School? Iive been working as an occupational therapist at the Mayo Clinic. I hear you have been making quite a name for yourself in the world of tennis. Yes. I'm going over to Forest Hills for the National Championships. Clancing into a store window, I was attracted by my old classmate Kitty McEntee who was adjusting a television set. Of course we were anxious to see Kitty so we went in. She told us that she was manager of the store and invited us on a tour of the television department. The first set was tuned to a baseball game. There's Ronnie Philbrick pitching for the Red Sox. If you look way out in left field, youill see Dick Vonlderstine. Iive heard it said that if Ronnie doesn't strike them out, Dick catches the balls they manage to hit. It is a three and two pitch. Ronnie winds up - everyone is tense! Peanuts! Popcorn! Potato chips! - Donald Gavin had appeared in front of the television camera. The Pretzel Playhouse is being shown on the next set. Janet Hokinson, the distraught heroine, was being tortured by Keith Pomeroy, the villain, when Eddie DuCray, the hero, rescues her from a horrible fate. This stirring drama was written by Shirley Hills, the famous Broadway playwright. On the next set The Farm and Home Hour is in progress. The men are pitted against the women in a very heated discussion which is moderated by Buster Riley, a prominent poultry farmer. Bruce Rafter and Arthur Sanderson, partners in a truck garden, are opposed by the homemakers - Edna Fournier, Betty Bruce and Phyllis Ayers. The topic for discussion is, Should farmers accept lower profits in order to facilitate lower prices for the housewife? That great news commentator, Herbie Wexler, flashes on the next screen with his news of the day. The luxury liner, S. S. Snooty, is just docking in New York harbor. Coming down the gangplank are those famous doctors, Dennis and Arthur Comolli. They are returning to the United States so establish a hospital in their home town of Milford, New Hampshire. At the dock they are met by that great philanthropist, Doris jones, who is making it possible for them to establish the hospital by donating part of her vast fortune. A good friend appears on the screen. It is Barbara Watson returning from Paris where she has finished studying dramatics. Barbara is well remembered for her portrayal of the charming French woman in Cinder, My Eyef, Extra! Extra! Admiral Clyde Lusk is stuck on a sandbar in the Merrimack River with his new Coast Guard destroyer. As the Wexler newscast faded from view, we saw Robert johnson who gave us this message from his sponsors. Want to dance? Want to be happy as a lark? Don't THE SENIOR YEARBOOK Mary: Darius: Mary: Darius Mary: Darius M ary: Darius: Mary: Darius take a chancel See McCallum and Clarkf, Charlotte andvGeorge have organized their own dance studio, and are giving Arthur Murray strong competition. Suddenly from behind one of the television sets appears two of our old friends, Everett Leach and jerry Villane, who are now employed as video maintenance operatives. Ex- perience in stage managing at Milford High School has proved very valuable to them. The next television set features jack Heelon with his Hour of Charm Show. As master of ceremonies, jack introduces Alma Trow, popular vocalist in and around New York City. This program is sponsored by the Brown Construction Company, famous for having rolled the sands of the Sahara Desert more effectively than Dick ever rolled the baseball field at Milford High School. The Quiz Kids program provides us with many laughs as we watch a few of our former classmates-Herrick Romney, Sal Crasso, Hazel Taylor, and Laura Karnis-who as professors are trying to outwit the kids. As usual the professors are outwitted. One of the questions asked is, who made the Hrst trip to the moon? One of the quiz kids mentions that John Nay is planning a trip to the moon. As assistants to john there will be Daniel Fraser and Robert Daniels. We aren't too surprised because we knew of their desire for travel. The door opens to admit Margaret Belanger and Charlotte Lavoie, who are on a shop- ping trip. They bring news of Milford to us. Sandra Hutchinson is coaching the Milford High girls' basketball team. Her sixty point record still stands, but with her coaching the record will soon be broken. The next set produces a few more friends - a sidewalk interviewer is talking with Laura Bianchi, janet Carpentiere, and Pat Regan. Pat's red hair certainly looks attractive on the color television. janet is supervising a large playground on Long Island. From the interview we learn that Laura is a Powers model. Laura always photographed remark- ably well. Mary, do you know what happened to Ralph Stinson? If you look at the latest Saturday Evening Post, you will find one of his cover illustrations. Many of his cartoons appear in prominent magazines. The final set features the Critic's Review. Joanne Skinner, critic for the New York Times, is interviewing concert pianist, Barbara Fisher. After a successful season, Barbara is planning to return to her summer home in South Lyndeboro. Seeing so many of our old friends on television certainly has brought back many pleas- ant memories. Those good old days at Milford High School will never be forgotten. The VALEDICTORY And SALUTATURY C THE SENIOR YEARBOOK Valedictory Doris jones Tonight marks not only the finish of our high school careers, but also the beginning of something far more important and far more serious than anything we have as yet undertaken. It is the beginning of a new life-a life in which we must learn to think and to act for the benefit of mankind. Tonight we also stand on the threshold of a confused world - a world filled with prejudice. It is a world which needs help - help which cannot come from the citizens of today, but must come from us, the citizens of tomorrow. It is our duty, as firm believers in just and equal rights for all, to assure these rights to people all over the earth. We must bring freedom, in every sense of the word, to every person on this planet. If we do no more than this in our lifetime, our years will have been indeed well spent. A huge burden awaits us, it is the burden of taking over what our elders left us. It will take a true believer in the human rights' doctrine to assume this responsibility with all the vital sense of justice and integrity which it will require. Let us hope that all of us will be thins endowed. For, if we are not, our handling of world affairs will only cause conditions to deteriorate. This must not happen, it is our job to improve conditions to wipe out totalitarian forms of government, to educate the ignorant, to improve the lot of the unfortunate, and to bring peace to this frightened world. To bring peace to the world is our most important du . Surely, no one who is pres- ent tonight wants a third World War. Have not the o world-wide struggles this nation has experienced in the past fifty years been enough? Have not our losses in life, material, and time been irreplaceable? Some people say that a third World War is inev- itable. They say that great and powerful nations cannot be at peace on the same planet. Conflicting types of government, ways of life, and standards of living - all contribute to war between such nations. They say that past history proves these statements, but are we living in the past? Must our history be a repetition of the past? Is our country doomed because we believe in democracy and other countries do not? If our country is doomed, it is because such people say it is. How can we avoid another war if people keep saying that it is inevitable? Peace is obtained not by war, bloodshed, and misery. We must learn to live peacefully and settle our differences in peaceful fashions. Only then can we say that we have taken the first step toward a world of peace. In this modern world of ours there is no place for war. Wars must become a thing of the past -as have the horse and buggy. We must give up our war machines as we have given up other antiquated phases of life. When we realize this fact, the world will be a better place in which to live. Then, and only then, will we proudly say that we are good American citizens. For it is up to us, as the most advanced people in the civilized world in other phases of life, to lead the way to everlasting peace. Why have we developed to such a high degree of perfection our different sciences, our industries, our education, and raised our standard of living, but allowed our inter- national relations to fall to such a low ebb? We claim that we live in the most advanced nation in the world, and yet we have not been able to keep on friendly terms with other great nations, or even with ourselves. Why? Are we a warring nation at heart? Do we, THE SENIOR YEARBOOK deep in our hearts, wish to be constantly fighting? I think not. Then, why do we? This is one of the many questions and problems that faces us as we go into the world. Some we will master, some will remain for future generations. But whatever we accomplish, we will accomplish by peaceful methods. Thus, as we finish the task of our high school studies, we begin a greater task- the task of bringing peace and hope to the entire world. I only pray that God will give us the power to face and grapple with this tremendous task, and make a reality of: Peace on Earth - Good Will to Menf, Salutatory Barbara Fisher Superintendent Bowley, members of the school board, Mr. Hutton, parents, teachers and friends of the Class of 1950: . On behalf of my class, I wish to welcome you here tonight. It is because of your interest in us that we are now seated here before you. Tonight marks an important milestone in our lives as we graduate from Milford High School and prepare to take our rightful places in the world. We have finished one phase of our education only to begin again enither in an institution of higher learning or in the school of experience. Many of us liigkie fears and doubts about what is in store for us. I believe that my thoughts tonight as well as those of my classmates can best be ex- pressed in the words of this poem written by Dorothy Smith. Life! I1 What hast thou to offer me Young, enthusiastic, free, Unwilling to follow the straight proven way, Eager to start a new course with each day. Have I a straight one through a smooth sailing sea, Or a storm full of peril charted for me? Is my ship worth the sailing? Will the winds always blow? Will there always be ports to which I may go? Sometimes may I stop in the midst of the deep, To wander and play, to drift and to sleep? Or must I keep sailing, sailing ahead, Changing my cargoes from silver to lead? Life, what is the answer? Show me the way, Give me the courage to live through each day. The house of life has many windows through which we may see clearly what is to be done, but we will consider only four- knowledge, challenge, beauty, and religion. Knowledge may be defined as a clear perception of fact, of truth, or of duty. Its pri- mary aim is toward the development of adults rather than scholarship. With knowledge, race and religious prejudices based on ignorance are wiped out. Knowledge is essential to progress, only according to our lack of it does society become stagnant. Thought develops character which can dominate conditions. Knowledge has personal rewards to THE SENIOR YEARBOOK offer. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had this to say about knowledge: An enlightened mind is not hoodwinkedg it is not shut up in a gloomy prison till it thinks the walls of its own dungeon the limits of the universe, and the reach of its own chain the outer verge of intelligence. The window of challenge is beckoning to us today from all phases of life. Our his- tory course this year has made us particularly aware of the challenge which the national affairs have for young people. So many of us are prone to call politics a game through which crooked politicians are operating our state and national governments. I grant that there are many defects in our system of government. Yes, it is true that in Washington billions of dollars are apparently being spent needlessly because of the bureaucratic system. Maybe we are right when we fight for less national security and more international secur- ity. Our democracy is not perfect, we don't even pretend that it is. Democracy, rather than being an actuality, is an ideal toward which we are striving. Our government is what we are as individuals. I think that any young person with enough gumption to enter politics today deserves credit and encouragement rather than hindrance and discour- agement. For those of us who can't enter politics actively, there is the challenge that we should read and try to fully comprehend what is happening in our state and national capitals and vote intelligently for those who are to govern for us. Another challenge is Communism in our country and other countries. Benjamin Dis- raeli once said, The longing for fraternity can nggpr be satisfied, but under the sway of a common fatherf, We have tried in vain toncompfomise with Communism. Can God- loving people live side by side with Communists 'whose Cod is hate, greed, and power? The answer to that question must be settled peacefully or otherwise by our generation. A third window of life is beauty. There are so many bad things said about our country that we overlook much of its beauty. There is the quiet beauty in the basic generosity of the American people for all underprivileged. This can be evidenced by the American Red Cross, cancer drive, CARE organization, American Heart Society and countless other agencies. There is the beauty of music, art, and poetry which can add great depth to our lives if we learn to appreciate them. There is the beauty of true love which can only be found in the giving of ourselves. Yes, beauty is an all-pervading pres- ence. The ocean, the mountains, the clouds the heavens, the stars, the rising and setting of the sun -all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so precious that it is pitiful to think of our going through life in the midst of it and yet blind to it. With appreciation of beauty, life ceases to be monotonous and dull because each new day brings new beauty. A fourth window is philosophy or religion. It is so hard for us young people to be- lieve in Cod when there is talk of the destruction of the world with the splitting of an atom or of a third World War when many of us have lost loved ones in the war just ter- minated. Yet there must be a faith to which we can cling, because without one, there is no point in our living. Some of us worship Cod one way, others have an entirely different interpretation of Him. Our generation must realize that there is no one religious denomination which has the monopoly of goodness. For every man, that religion is good which makes him gentle, upright and kind. Though our thoughts may differ in regard to religion, the important factor is that we do have a religious faith of some sort. Life, what hast thou to offer me? Life, what have we - the future teachers, parents, and citizens of the world -to offer you? Tonight we finish to begin our lives, and let us hope that we can prove ourselves worthy of the opportunities which you as parents and friends have given us.
