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.

THE SENIOR YEARBOOK THE M. H. S. QUARTET Left to right: Miss NVanda Libby, Darius Robinson, NVaync Fisher, Arthur Comolli, Dennis Comolli and Barbara Fisher. TIIE 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.
