THE SENIOR YEARBOOK HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1950 On Thursday, june 15, 1950, forty-five seniors of Milford High School will receive their diplomas, certifying that they have successfully completed four years of secondary school. 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
