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. Laura Karnis Joanne Skinner

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
