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 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
