To Milford High we give this pledge- This promise, true, to keep: To always veer from Danger's ledge, And look before we leap! To always be the way you taught- We promise not to fall, Allow not Fear to get us caught! To Life we'll give our all! To Milford High we pledge these things- Our blessing, too, we give. And so till Death his sentence brings Your lessons, with us, live. LEA11 KITTLE. MARGARET FRANCES O,CONNOR Vice-Principal Noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose. f .

The success depends wholly upon you, fellow students, but one thing is certain and that is the fact that in each one of us is a worthwhile background planted there by a member of the faculty-we have but to develop it. In return for their gifts of background, knowledge, ideals, and memories, we can give nothing save gratitudeelet us give of that freely and in parting, say Though Time may go on And our years become few, We know we shall always Remember you!

The knowledge gained here may or may not stand the test of time, but that correct thinking, that honest judging, that power to evaluate the worthwhile in life, that desire to build a strong character-that wisdom will linger to guide our steps aright. To you, dear old Milford High School and faculty, we owe a debt of gratitude for your co- operation, your training, your strong faith in us, and your ceaseless patience shown to us. Ours has been the human part, To err , yours, the divine, To for- give. ' Together many pleasant hours have been spent in- side these four walls. The companionships and friend- ships that have been formed here, not soon to be for- gotten, shall be our fondest memories hereafter. We have all played the game together and have drunk from both the sweet cup of victory and the bitter cup of defeat. And now at the end of our journey we pause to say farewell to M. H. S. Class of '39, you go now to a world of thought To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. THOMAS LONG. l. ii... .--. ? -,l.- CLASS CHARACTERISTICS William Haase . . . Thomas Long ....

HUNTER. 37 ' AIN 1 ffug I I I 4 Q .l4,fs - MAKING THE GRADE VALEDICTORY I Tonight, Fellow Students, we are met for the last time in our four years tosay, Farewell . The task is sad-and yet as we look ahead we find that already we have set our minds on new worlds to conquer, new ideals to form, new friends to make. We are going out into life with one main thought-to make the grade! Let us, members of the class of '39, proceed toward a distant goal and let us not rest until we have achieved that goal. We are young and strong, we alone can decide our futures. But if and when we reach the top, each in his own way, will we not look back and wonder how we made the grade? Will we not think again of our school days, of our teachers and our friends? Surely on this night of all nights we must pause to reconsider our four years spent in Milford High School, to show how our school has fitted us for the world of today-the citizens and workers of years to be. How fortunate are we to live in America, the land of opportunity, where a newsboy of today may become a president of tomorrow, where the beauty of the landscape is unmarred by hostile troops, where children may play in the sun instead of hiding in bomb-proof cellars! We are given all advantages possi- ble in this great land-is it not our duty, then, to do our best? Let us be concrete in our illustrations. Let us review our younger days, our years in grammar school where we first were taught to use our minds, where we first learned the joy of making friends. This early training we car- ried to High School where our worlds expanded to cover much new territory. We were given our choice of subjects, encouraged to choose the ones for which we were best suited. Whether we studied Shorthand or Latin we received the same attention. We joined our favorite clubs, took part in our favorite activi- ties. Thus in the years of growth we became discriminating students, able to think for ourselves and be the masters of our minds. Qur schools have built up not only our minds and our bodies, but our morale. We are confident as we stand on the threshold that we will do all in our power to prove worthy of the trust placed in us. If we apply our thoughts to the best advantage we will become really good citizens. As Tennyson said, Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. So let us use experience as stepping stones to further learning. We are indeed Part of all that we have met as the poet so truthfully said. And let us, then, be grateful to our teachers and parents for the start that they have given us in life. When we go out into the world we will keep in mind the ideals we have received here. If we live uprightly and work to our capacity, then we truly will make the grade. And so before I go may I say that I hope in years to come we will look back on our school days with pride and happiness. Pride in our Alma ,Mater for giving us the background to make us useful, loyal citizens of these United States. Happiness that we are able to become a part of the great machine that is our country. To make this pos- sible let us, every one, live up to our class motto- They Can Conquer VVho Believe They Can ! -MURIEL KORACH. 38 VALEDICTORY lf Possunt qui posse videntur , This motto is truly a fitting one for this class of 1939. VVe are embarking upon a new life tonight, our twelve years of guidance in Milford schools are over, and now is a proper time to express our deep gratitude to those who have made this night possible. To you, the Board of Education, to you, Dr. Maddocks, our superintendent, to you, Mr. Gorham, our principal, to you, our faculty, and to you, our parents and friends, I, as the voice of this class, am here to express this gratitude and appreciation in acknowl- edgement of your great services, and of the advanced methods of teaching which enable us to begin our new life on an equal footing with graduates from the largest and best High Schools in this country. Although on this eve of graduation the world is filled with turmoil and uncertainty, it is in our power to strengthen the ranks of democratic Americans. We have learned the folly of any other idea in government and our school days havextaught us to seek truth and worth above all else. It is now for us to make the grade and there is no reason for failure. Many of us will continue on to further education, postponing only shortly our entrance into civic affairs, others will 1'1lEl1'k,lIl'fiii' s their last step before responsibility, but all of us will have obtained the's ,khk Q N 'dance and the same opportunity forsuccess. Our future depends upon oifrisl ves for they can conquer who believe they canf, It is for us to prove this ggatement. 3' iflsff As we enter this new life let us adopt the ,poet's statement The best is yet to be to fit our own case. Our future will be what we make it and there is no cause for dismay. Our background in Education has been above reproach and more than satisfactory to prepare us for the future. In making our later life the best, in making the grade, let us remember that we are Americans above all elseg let us always cherish the liberty and democratic ideals which are our heritage, and let us see to it that these ideals are preserved in full. It is to Milford High School we offer our deep-felt gratitude for its many benefits to us, and its careful training of us, which has already formed a background for us for future work. Rise, class of 1939, join with me in this last fond farewell to Milford High School and to those who have made this night possible. To you, our Board of Education, to you, Dr. Maddocks, our superintendent, to you, Mr. Gorham, our principal, to you, our faculty, and to you, our parents and friends, we address this farewell with the firm conviction that this class will not fail to rise to the highest ideals set for them and that they are leaving with a full appreciation of the opportunities you have afforded them. We thank you. -MALCOLBI KORACH. 39 SALUTATCRY Members of the Board of Education, Dr. Maddocks, our superintendent, Mr. Gorham, our principal, parents and friends 5 I am deeply touched and grate- ful as a member of the class of 1939 to have the privilege of welcoming you on this night, of all nights, our graduation. This is not a night for sadness nor sorrow, it is not a time to think of the grave dangers that may lie ahead, nor of the many pits and rocks to which this turning point in our lives may lead us. Rather it is a time, friends and class- mates, to rejoice! Rejoice For We Conquer says the poet of the Greek hero who ran his last race successfully-How well that quotation applies to us, fel- low students, ere we depart from Milford High School. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood and misused words today is this word conquer Perhaps our parents and friends, who have tasted more of life than we, have discovered what conquer really means. But to a group such as we, about to start out on a new road, the word is possibly sadly dis- colored, for we have to-day not a world of conquests but a world of conquerors. As you hear this word conquer what picture, what idea is immediately formed in your minds? Is there a buzz of excitement, a beat of drums, a sound of tramping soldiers? And when you hear conqueror what picture flashes before you? Do you not see a great man in elaborate dress, his hand forming a salute, c1'owds roaring and hailing him dictator, and casting flowers in his path? Why has this become our idea of conquest, why is that the image of a conqueror? Why?-simply because fate has seen fit to place us in an era of dictators. Fel- low students, that we may better understand our own democratic ideals, let us consider briefly the motive of a modern conqueror. Is this not it? I'll get all I can and give nothing in return. Did that dictator as he marched gloriously and triumphantly into Czechoslavakia think of what he had to give to the conquered peoples and land? Or was there always lurking be- neath his thoughts, the great treasures of natural resources the land would af- ford him and the wonderful targets that these healthy men and boys would make for some enemy gun? As we prepare to go out into the world, a product of our faculty and school, what will conquer mean to us? Will we go out meaning to grasp and clutch everything and give nothing in return? The world does not need this type of conqueror-we will be beaten before we begin, students. The world cherishes a conqueror who faces problems fairly and squarely, who fights with reason and goodsense, not with a gun. We can all be conquerors, we have all made conquests of one type or another. The real glory of conquest is one that makes the blood tingle with pride at the thought that the conquest has been a conquest of ourselves, our desires, our aims, real, human and cooperative, colored with a love of mankind. Let us further those ideals planted in the very soil of America-freedom of speech. of religion, of the press. real freedom for the soul of man, left as an heritage for us by the founders of our country. So Rejoice we conquer is a glorious thought if we understand its true meaning. -ANGELINE ARCIUOLO. 40 ,Qi pq, Q' 2111 ., 4 . , 5 . . Idwff' v-:-.1 . .,. ..',, l BAND l Meet the band! Twenty members in this maroon and white's unit can give us martial airs, Mr. Fred Bayers, the director, a former member of Sousa's band, directs many other bands all over the state. The different sections con- sist of tubas, drums, cymbles, slide trombones, baritone horn, mellophone, clari- nets, saxes, trumpets and cornets. This year the band has played for the Rotary Club, the Fathers' Club, and at all the school plays. They have also taken part in a music festival and the brass section played in a Housatonic League competition. Mr. Bayers is trying to prove that the band can play classical and popular music as well as marches. More power to the band!

Violins, saxophones, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, a baritone horn, drums, guitars and piano and what not forms a very complete orchestra. Best wishes for next year. In direct contrast to this classical production is the scintillating rhythm of the Swing Orchestra , under the direction of Mr. Gebel. One of the new- est projects in Milford High School, it has proved to be one of the most suc- cessful. Wo1'thy of much praise for this year's splendid work, we hope that next year's activities will be equally, if not more successful.

SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB About this Senior Dramatic Club of '39 hovers the spirit of achievement, for despite incessant difficulties, the energetic group succeeded in presenting the never-to-be-forgotten A. A. comedy, Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, as well as lending its talent to the tercentenary production and the Senior Play, The VVh0le Town's Talking. Supervised by faculty advisor, Margaret E. Thomas, with the aid of Wal- ter Reynolds, president, Angeline Arciuolo, vice-president, Dorothea Diamond, secretary, and Robert Downing, treasurer, the members obtained their worth- while objectives-understanding of the drama and a more complete knowledge of stage and stagecraft, as well as an opportunity to develop latent power. Dramatics have ever been most popular with seniors and may it never find anything in M. H. S. to hinder its progress!

I ..-l GLEE CLUB With crescendos and fortissimos accenting their travels with songs, the Glee Club has ended a happy year on a high note. VVith Miss O'Connor guid- ing the rising vocalists, they learned and sang many beautiful songs, some of which were very difficult but resulted in triumphant harmony. At Christmas time, the Glee Club sang for the youngsters at their party held in the Milford Town Hall. Later in the year their efforts were directed toward the Tercente- nary Operetta and were rewarded by an excellently, well-played performance. Enthusiastic in their work the club-members went to a Stratford Concert where they made up a part of the five hundred voices that sang there. This year, for the first time, the two Glee Clubs-the boys, and girls'- were combined, resulting in unbelievable success. The Club met twice a week and was as harmonious as their singing. We hope there will be a song in your throat, and on your lips, and in your heart.

H. S. has experienced a rather turbulent history. The original council consisted of one representative from each room, chosen by the faculty. When objections were raised, consisting of the theory that such delegates did not really represent the school, the system of selection was revised. At the present time, the council is made up of one representative from .each freshman homeroom, and one more member from each room in succession'of each class. Since its formation, the council has arbitrated disciplinary cases, approved all members of the new Junior Traffic Squad, participated in an Arbor Day Pro- gram sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association and sent delegates to several Housatonic League Conferences. In May, the council sponsored a sport dance to swell the fund with which they will pay for all assemblies next year. Although our school is small, the students in general are enthusiastic about student government. We, the class of '39, started this good work, it behooves M. H. S. students to make it a success. Good luck, students! According to Picture- First Row-Roddy Campbell, Kenneth Wood, Russell Nugent, john Trapp, Ralph Hillworth, George Daniels. Second Row-Marie Behlen, Angeline Arciuolo, Mary E.

Throughout the year, Press Club members have earnestly been making a detailed study of both the writing and business ends of magazines and 'news- papers, and consequently believe that by next year they will have reached the point where they will find themselves fully equipped to donate a portion of their time and talent to furthering the success of the school paper, Wetomhis . With such a worthwhile objective, it is certain that the Press Club will reap its reward again and again in satisfaction.

Harold Lindley, the wonderful daddy, Walter Reynolds, the gala Frenchman, Robert Downing, the heartbreaker, Muriel Korach, the winner, and others equally good with Ruth Doolittle as the lisping young lady. What a dramatic hit that was and how the proceeds helped the senior treasury! The auditorium was filled with an expectant atmosphere, festive and tense. The hum of lowered voices, rustle of skirts and the sound of an occasional smothered cough or sneeze preceded the curtain raising. Programs were hur- riedly scanned for a last minute look at who so-and-so was acting as, and then -that breathless, hushed moment, while the house lights dimmed, the foot lights blazed up against the deep maroon curtain, and then its velvet folds slowly moved back and revealed a slash of color and light! The play was on! VVhen the play was over, amidst loud appreciative applause, the curtain closed and parted again as the triumphant cast took its laughing, sparkling-eyed encore. How can we ever forget that night, the wonderful performance and the sincere compliments paid to the excellent cast as we filed out of the crowded room!

Mary, Mary, Quite Con- trary was certainly one of the best entertainments of the year. Remember Mary Westlake, the eccentric actress who almost broke the heart of her love- sick playwright? But Geoffrey Considine, was soon consoled by his Sheila. And remember the big blustering Sir Henry who, much to his terror, was stranded in a little boat with Mrs. Westlake? The audience certainly enjoyed the antics of Miss Mimms, the prim leader of the Girl Guides, and Mr. Beeby, the humorous rival playwright. And didn't we laugh at Mr. Hobbs, the cockeny manager! Mrs. Considine's part was played to a tee , while the timid Reverend Considine was perfect as her husband. With the touch of the little maid the cast was completed. And so with laughs for the audience, and fun for the cast, the A. A. play went down in our annals as a great success! Mary Westlake .... Sir Henry Considine Geoffrey Considine, . Sheila Considine ..

Yes, how well you remember that Jean Gilpatrick of the class of '39 in her junior year wrote the stirring drama called The Smoke and Fire of Liberty , describing this event in a way that is never to be forgotten. Jean shows us how Whalley and Goffe traveling the distance from New Haven on a cold and snowy winter night, guided by an, Indian named Chedke, arrived at the friendly hearth of Micah Tomkins, where they were graciously concealed only to be discovered by Micah's beautiful daughter, Elizabeth, and later by the king's officers, Kelland and Kirk, from whom the regicides escaped on the officers' horses to John Davenport's home in New Haven. You will also remember the setting painted by Eleanor Wade, Mary Hunter, Muriel Korach, Gertrude Blake and that picture of Oliver Cromwell painted by Muriel Korach for us when we gave the play in our senior year. What took place here that cast will well remember. The cast- George Anderson Chester Anderson Harold Lindley Thomas MacAllister Marian Clark Marjorie Harrison Walter Reynolds Richard Goelz Norris Green Clarence Whittier Malcolm Korach Howard Cornwall-Stage director 60 Reginald Charlwood Walter Rose Edith Rice Marjorie McKie Lee Coulombe OPERETTA Wliat fine voices in the high school operetta! And what a grand job Doro- thy Swift and Wfilliam Dungan did with the leading roles! Under the direction of Miss O'Connor the cast for the original operetta was written and rehearsals were begun. Much practice was required before the production was ready to be presented. Centering about Thomas Tibbals, as portrayed by VVilliam Dungan, the plot dealt chiefly with Tibbals' arrival at Milford and his love for the Indian girl, VVatahwah, a character taken by Dorothy Swift. . The music was written by one of the teachers. Most of the songs dealt with the Indians, their customs and their work, and were distinctive in their originality. The operetta certainly was well done. The entire cast deserves much c1'edit for the excellent singing. And congratulations were given to Miss O'Connor on the exceptionally good job of directing.

V W N FooTBALL The football squad of 1939 had a tough year with only one regular, Monty Siekerski, from which to fashion a team. The inexperience of the players, you know, is no small factor to be taken into consideration concerning the record. The opening game was a 9 to O defeat at the hands of Southington. The team was still green and so this was not unexpected. The Shelton contest was a close battle with Shelton emerging the victor on top of a 7 to 0 score. The Staples High game was a hard one to lose since one point was all that separated the two teams. Failure to make good the conversion gave Staples the 7-6 decision. Norwalk snowed under the maroon and white in the next engagement, 46 to O, playing a team way out of their class. The inexperienced Frenchmen next fell prey to Fairfield by dropping that contest 19 to O. The victory over Derby was a thriller played at Coon- Hollow-at Derby one Saturday afternoon. There was no score in the first period but in the sec- ond period both teams uncorked their passing attack. Derby scored first on three long passes with Carey going over for the score. The conversion was good. In the third period Milford pushed across a touchdown as a result of O'Grady blocking a Derby punt on the 10-yard line. Dungan slashed over from the 1 to score and the attempted conversion was no good. It appeared like a Derby victory in the closing moments of the game until Chapin blocked another Derby punt deep in enemy territory and then Dungan booted a beautiful field goal from the 19 to tuck the game away 9 to 7. The team bogged down in the last two contests with Branford and Strat- ford. The Hornets stung us 12 to 6 while the Turkey Day clash sawia superior Stratford team stalk off with a 22-O' victory. Six Seniors are depart-ing from the portals this year leaving a large number of good candidates for ,next year.

T 65 BASKETBALL Give three cheers yet for our hghting five! Although riddled with injuries all season, the white-clad boys always put up a great battle, and left their fol- lowers proud of their showing. They were a fast, well-coached team, leaving little to be desired in spirit and ability. This can be shown by the fact that they were defeated by only one basket in an overtime game with Branford, then the state class B champions. Never was a team more fully backed by the students, who helped to set a record attendance for the high school court on the night of the first Stratford Game. The loss of Jack O'Grady, Captain, Percy Chadwick, high scorer, and John Trapp and Charles Perkins, two indispensable parts of the team, will be deeply felt in the next season.

Five freshmen and four sophomores composed the jayvee so that they might be molded into an effective basketball combination by the time they become seniors. Under Assistant Coach Jensen, the team suffered eleven losses and gaiiied three victories, but the team was chosen not with the intention of having a win- ning team now, but of having something good in the years to come. The team played in and out ball. At times they handled the ball like veter- ans and the next time they appeared lost. They defeated Shelton twice and Seymour once for their three victories. ln the Shelton game they clicked out a 26 to 8 victory while in the next contest against Derby, they were defeated by a lopsided score. Lund captained the jayvee efficiently and showed good promise along with Ramsay, Beloin and Johnson.

These fighting-flailers gave M. H. S. real representation on the 100th anniversary of our National Game. Left with but three veterans after graduation last year, the team was moulded into a fast, spirity unit by Coach French. Seniors who aided this noble cause were john Trapp, Jack O'G1'ady, Bob Crocker, Percy Chadwick, and we join with them in wishing the team of 1940 good lucklr Always, on the ar- rival of Spring, we shall be reminded of the diamondeers of '39.

' 68 l........,,...- , X 1 , -'t,,4 ' i' TRACK Lady Luck smiled brightly on the Milford High track team this season, making this activity one of the most successful of the year. To start, the boys were decked out in new uniforms at the beginning, and with this for prestige, they started on their successful cinder season. One of the most interesting meets, although not the most exciting, was the inter-class tangle in April. New ability was certainly found that day in the form of new sprinters, jumpers and weight throwers. Milford hopes to have as fine a team next year as it did this year and also to make as fine a showing in all the years to come.

Coach Krause managed to build up a strong team that won the ten matches and the championship. Stratford, our erstwhile rivals, went down twice before the onslaught of the spares and strikes. It was in the return match with Fairfield that Milford became the proud possessor of the most important records in the league. Later in the season the team traveled to Vlfestport to take part in the Connec- ticut State Junior Championships, where Captain Augat tucked the state cham- pionship and a trip to Washington D. C. under his belt. Facing stiff competition, Augat managed to slip in a 346 total to walk off with second place in the nationals.

Although the girls did not come through the season undefeated, they certainly showed light right through. Their first game was with the well-experienced alumnae team in the C. G. S. auditorium at the beginning of the season. Although the maroon-clad lassies were out-classed, they fought through to the last period and the game ended in a 15-15 deadlock. The second tilt was played on a strange court at the Roger Ludlow gym. The Milford five led through to the last quarter but a sudden spurt on the side of the Black and Gold downed the M. H. S. quintet 19-15. Because of a lack of reserves the score remained the same when the final whistle sounded.

SN, GIRLS' HOCKEY TEAM Under the leadership of Captain Betty Robertson, the girls' hockey team went through a snappy season of tilts with challenging school teams. Two of the most outstanding games were with Darien and Fairfield High. The Milford lassies sailed into the girls in blue and white and sunk them on their home Held 2-1. Lady Luck, however, did not smile quite so brightly when they tilted with the orange and black of Roger Ludlowe, but the girls played a fighting game to the end. As an added attraction at the close of the season the girls challenged the football team to a game. This was a hilarious affair the girls emerging the vic- tors at the finish. The season was ended in grand fashion with a banquet at Howard John- son's. The girls received their various awards which they so well deserved and Miss Wolfson, who made this fine team possible, a sweater from the girls. Although not always the victors, the team enjoyed a fine season and showed true colors of sportsmanship to the end.

Its complete success and smooth-running are to their credit. Finer, more efficient students could not have been chosen and to them we owe the memory of an unforgettable night-the Senior Promenade. The seniors danced joyously to the music of Newell Hartley, and were de- lighted with the little favors selected by the committee. The lovely decorations completed the festive atmosphere of the most wonderful night in the year.

VVe all applaud their choice- They Can Conquer Who Believe They Can. This is a motto we all will try to live up to and the selection of the Gift Committee proved to be just what the whole school wanted! Remem- ber what fun we had, too, on Class Night when we saw our students portrayed in the past, present and future?

The publication of the Year Book and Gradua- tion, two of the most important events in the life of a Senior, were guaranteed success through the excellent work done by these two committees. Your pictures done by the Gorlanoff Studios were works of art, in which every familiar dimple and stray curl showed exactly as we've admired them in real life! The trim caps and gowns you wore, that madeiyou feel so grown-up and im- portant, were selected by the diligent members of the Cap and Gown Commit- tee.

Thanks to the tireless efforts and careful discrimination of this committee, the annual banquet was a splendid success. At Baybrook Inn on the evening of June the 19th, the entire senior class, adorned in festive semi-formal attire, enjoyed a full course dinner. After the president of our class, Thomas Long, had spoken and the other various speak- ers had also finished, we, the departing '39ers, danced ourselves into happy fatigue to the music of Worthy Hills and his orchestra. Another energetic and capable group of seniors was the Picnic Committee. Because of their careful planning and collective good judgment the annual class picnic did not disappoint a single senior. june 20th will long remain in our memories as the most delightful day of our high school career.

H. S. Many years from today, how grand it will feel to pick up that l939 edition of the WepawaugU and indulge in a bit of happy reminiscing. In this will we live those good old days over again-each face, a friend, each line, a sweet memory. Looming before us we shall see first of all Mil- dred Treat, editor-in-chief of the yearbook, as she tirelessly worked, worried, and strove to put our annual over as the biggest and best yet! Miss Treat was capably aided by Althea Mohr, assistant editor, and a large committee. Then can we ever forget the dauntless chasing and searching in quest of ads and patrons, the pleadings, the pep-talks, the downcast moments and the final ones of exultation when it was triumphantly declared that both ends had met? Vividly we shall recall the endless hours spent in the making up and writ- ing ofthe yearbook. Because nothing but the best was good enough to be- come a part of that most important project, a great deal of creative effort was employed for the worthwhile cause. Along with the writing, We can distinctly hear the clicking of typewriters as the typists pounded away on last excerpts in haste to get the delayed articles to our Church Press in West Haven. Oh, and it will never be possible to forget the posing for pictures as our capable photographer, Mrs. Gorlanoff, amusedly looked on while ties were straightened and hair was combed. Certainly, we shall always remember that final, breathless moment when our handsome black and gold The Wfepawaug, 1939 arrived hot off the piiessu to us-an immortal symbol of achievement and memory. .

They found little more than chicken feed in our treasury, but miraculously turned it into real dollars and cents. They twisted their brilliant brains and poured forth ingenious schemes.

VVe shouted, laughed, attended class, our voices proudly ringing. The seniors thought us so absurd, the teachers thought quite different, For we made seniors look quite dumb, because we were so brilliant. The seniors up and acted nice, a Poverty Dance was given. VVe paid our fifteen cents in full, but from the hall were driven. They claimed we acted much too fresh, we cluttered up the floor, So they gave us each a piece of cake, then shoved us out the door. We freshies knew that we'd been roped, to get revenge was our great hope. A Valentine Dance we then gave, and how the seniors did behave! Aside from this important feud, Virginia Cashwell left our school. VVe'd known her as that southern gall , and back she went to sunny Cal . Soon we thought of June exams, our brains we simply strained and crammed. VV e turned a final glorious trick when honor students numbered six. SOPHOMORES: Our Sophomore year was not so gay, we lost our classmate Betty Gray. A friend to all, intelligent and skilled, yet who can alter God's own will? Although we all felt so dismayed, we startled the school with the Sophomore play. The Dear Departed it was called, it made the Senior play look small. We had no dances, but picnics, one, we prayed and hoped that summer would come. Our last great deed came when June rolled round, Six honor students again were found. JUNIORS: As juniors we just would excel in all our deeds, And so at our class election, Walt Reynolds took the lead. 84 .li..T.. J X -.l-.1 A long year stretches before us, of this we did not care. We felt so proud to be juniors. about to do and dare. Again our class was saddened when Miss Ballantine passed away, And then that swell kid Robert Burns-can we forget those days! To lose two such good people-we felt forlorn, dismayed, And yet they are not lost to us, their memories always stay. With Skating Party and Harvest Dance, our bankroll quickly grew. But plus the dough we all acclaim we had a swell time too. A dramatic touch we then displayed when Hearts and Flowers we portraye A melodrama, something new, the hero was cheered, the villian booed. The Junior Prom then came along, The chairman chosen was Thomas Long. We gave the prom the Hawaiian touch But in the end we didn't make much. Thus was ended our Junior year, Wfe had our fun, we had our tears. Our Senior year drew slowly near, Of what it held we had no fear. SENIORS: . Then as grown up seniors, we had to make some dough, The prom and picnic couldn't be run on chicken feed you know. A Football Hop was given, a foodsale came about. And with that VVays and Means Committee our bankroll sure did sprout. VV e thought we'd make our yearbook a truly notable feat. Wfe never could have done it except for Middy Treat. VVe also did, another thing we hope will live forever, XV e formed a Student Council from which our school will better. They never could surpass our highly dramatic displays, V For our Senior Play really made The Whole Town Talk For Days. The Senior Prom excelled in music and spring-like array, XV hen our honor speakers numbered seven-we broke all records, they say. That last week closed a chapter, a chapter sealed with tears. We looked ahead to victories and dark unknowing years. Let's keep our motto before us, a secret to success- 'iThey Can Conquer VVho Believe They Can. Come on let's do our best! -ANGELINE ARc1UoLo. 85 I MMM, V MMM..- CLASS WILL Upon leaving the gates of our dear old Milford High School, we, the Sen- ior class of 1939, of Milford, in the State of Connecticut of this great United States, being of sound mind and memory, do find it fitting and proper to hereby proclaim our one and only last will and testament.

To the new Editor of the Washline, we leave a pair of sneakers to aid in digging up dirt for the column. The Korach twins leave their scholastic abilities and long line of A's, to Mildred Kelly and Chester Brown.

Al Wilson leaves with Dot Swift. Marie Bodie leaves her sweet tooth to the dentist, to remove at his own dis- posal. Bill', Haase leaves his car to the junkman. Jack O'Grady, a man of letters, leaves his numerous numerals to our next year's stars . Phil Phillips leaves his hot lick rhythms to Buck Lane-not that he needs them.

Wimpy Lindley leaves nothing to nobody, says he can't afford it-the tightwad. Charley Perkins leaves his height to Roddy Campbell so that he can grab them off the backboard. Diddy Diamond and Sheldon Smith leave Milford High with their tongues worn out. To anyone who can reach high CH, Selma Rachlin leaves her giggle. ln witness, therefore, we set our hand and seal this twenty-third day of June in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine.

THE WITCHES' PRCPHECY Today this class of thirty-nine looks forth To unknown battles, unknown victories, And all of us must play our parts which lead To wealth or fame or to obscurities. So, into f1ction's pages,-let us now Enlist the aid of three who know so well. You witches of MacBeth, on prophets wise, Come, let us hear just what you have to tell. The Witches - H The weird sisters, hand in hand, Posters of the sea and land, Thus do go about, about: Thrice to thine and thrice to mine And thrice again to make up nine. Peace! The charm's wound up. First Witch- The stage is set, the cauldron black is boiling. I see sad fancies, banshees here are reeling. Dead ghosts are walking, human folk are toiling Across a curtain of the darkening ceiling. A class room desk! The teacher's sitting there. I wonder, faith, now just whom this might beg Before me comes a girl, blue-eyed,-brown hair. Ah! Bodie's the name, it's petite Marie. And looking in the black and silent night I ind Bill Bonyai who has in his hold His fruits of labor-reward of his flight, He's now a dictator with piles of gold. Here clad in sullen, solemn, somber dress Reg Charlwood stands, it's Reverend Charlwood now. The scene is changed, 'tis hard to see-ay yes We find Miss Case, designing clothes I vow. Look, here's Miss Artist Korach's studio Where Mister Downing's had his portrait done. It's for his fans-he's on the radio Announcing,-for the lucre, not the fun. 83 l An oltice fine we see, the partners here Have prospered now till they are rich together. Sirs Korach and MacAllister don't fear, And life is good for they have sunny weather. The ink within a scholar's oft-dipped well Shows us jan Pond, the hour is late, itls three. The darkness Casts around an eerie spell, But Janet works on for that prized degree. Second Witcli- And now my sisters of this ghostly fell, The night grows dark, the grey smoke shows me much Of unforseen adventures that befell These creatures caught in Life's unyielding clutch. Chet Anderson is captain of a ship That takes out pleasure seekers every night, g'Dick,' Irwin, Mary Hunter often slip Aboard to watch the moon's soft, shining light. VVhile standing all alone in lighthouse tall, Ed Kindler smiles-you'll never find him frowning, He's safe from women Cpesky critters allj He leaves them, everyone, to Robert Downing. The smoke begins to waver now until The scene has changed to hospital's white walls, VVhere Doctor Kussner operates with skill, Between her Broadway plays and curtain calls. Her master Maestro there is Freddie Gray, VVho swings from Schubert's fifth to good old jazz, Add Perk and Decker,-how those lads can play! And you will soon be shaking off your cares. Director of the show was Reynolds, VValt',, VVhose famous plays are written up with zest By Elsie Bowden, writer without fault, Her column in the Times is quite the best. My powers are weird but I must admit, Those nurses in white are better than I. Misses Doolittle, Varen, Sharkey, and Treat Achieve greater magic than my witchcraft sly. 89 i,l. l've seen these people in all sorts of jobs, Nurses, a doctor, photographer too, Now two dental hygienists, does that seem odd? Bernie Noonan, Ginny Ramsay, come into view. My cauldron boils over, but now ere I go, I see a field, a crowd uproarious, And two famous coaches, O'Grady and Long, Their team just played Stratford, with Milford victorious. Third Witch- Time comes when I shall try my hand at this, The game of telling what your futures hold. Watch closely that your eyes, by chance, won't miss The sights I call with magic potion old. George Anderson in white coat doctors all Sick animalsg a vet he has become, While Dorothy Swift in answer to art's call, Sings o'er the mike and strikes her list'ners dumb. And typing at a fast and furious rate Is secretary Usher. She is paid By Fashion mag whose illustrations great Are done so very well by Miss El Wade. A cooking school for brides can next be seen And Bet De Carlo we find at its head. She shows the sweet young things just what to do So they may keep their husbands all well fed. Why look! Now here's the Ballas Pharmacy Where f'Meldy fills prescriptions, she is tops. And whizzing by is Monti Siekerski, By far the best of all those tough State cops' . I Now back we go from whence we came before, Away from all this worldly rush and din. But one last warning,-here words of yore, When you play life's game, why play it fair, you'll win. -LAUREL VAREN, -ELSIE BOWDEN, -MURIEL KORACH 90 unclw hour .0 - Murano mamma .- , 11 . ff, Z f f ,ff Q , ,I 7. 1 1 i , Z X ff I B' ' I x J 'vin k X' - V .,, l K I 2, X Q,, tl , f y, '1U --- Fi t ..
