DRAMA CL UB The Drama Club is the largest organization at Milford Area School, boasting over one hun- dred members, a consolidation of both junior and Senior High clubs. This is the Iirst year that this has been done and it has been very success- ful. A great potential for future talent has been displayed under the guidance of Miss Wood, Mrs. Van Ausdall, and Mr. Boynton. Proof of this fact was given by William Hunter's stage debut as Scrooge, coupled with Maynard Char- ron's superb narration in Charles Dickens' fam- ous story, A Cbristnms Carol. Maynard, a familiar figure behind the footlights, is also president of the club. Their first play was presented during school hours for the enjoyment of all the stu- dents just before Christmas vacation. The Drama Club also held a student-directed one-act play festival in April to continue an old tradition.

. ' C lllf-glglfil SPIRIT CL UB Clap your lmndsf' Stronger than dirt? One of the most active of our newly- formed organizations, the Spirit Club, is dedicated to the promotion of school spirit in the student body of the Mil- ford Area School. This fall, the members staged two exciting pep rallies for the soccer team. No one will ever forget the White Spartan in his sheet and helmet, or the rousing cheers for each team mem- ber. Since the formation of the Spirit Club, posters have appeared in the lobby advertising games and school events. The club also provided spectator buses, mak- ing it possible to have a formidable cheer- ing section at away games. Mr. Haggerty, an enthusiastic director of all activities of the fifty-member group, summarized their success cryptically in these words: We try hard.

With the even distribution of Spearmint gum, Lifesavers and Tootsie Roll Pops, a meeting of the Milford Athletic Association comes to order. An appro- priation must be approved. This year the girls' basketball team will be provided with new uniforms, the ski team with cross-country skis, the cheerleaders with new uniforms and the boys' basketball team with kneesocks. The remaining time of the meeting is spent in discussion. The M.A.A.'s largest project this year is the revision of the awards system. With a vote to adjourn the meeting and a general clean-up of all the candy wrappers, the meeting closes and everyone feels their way out of the now darkened library. LA TIN CL UB i i i l This year's Latin Club was formed late in October and has held several meet- ings. Since the group is so small, they dispensed with the usual initiation and election of officers. Advised by Mrs. Chase, they met after school on Tuesdays to discuss such plans as a Roman banquet, which the members would prepare and serve to their guests. Another proposal is a trip to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. If given permission and transportation, the group will visit the Italian room and see actual Roman art and artifacts.
