Faculfy and Classes Mr. IiVargny has taught ninth grade core and Invictus since Milford Mill first opened its doors in September, l949. In l952 he assumed the duties of Administra- tive Assistant in charge of the junior High as well as keeping up with his ninth grade core program. I-Ie is as much a part of Milford as the building itself. Students confronted with a disturbing problem always find a sympa- thetic listener and a wise counsellor in Mr. Frank Wargny. Core The Core program is the center of the curriculum in the junior high school. The aim of the department is to give the student a wide education in many fields, after which he may specialize in high school. The program was designed to meet the need of fundamental education that could not otherwise be worked into a course of study. For instance, in the ninth grade, topics are covered that include the fields of psychology, history, geography, civics and English. In the seventh grade, American history is the main core subject, and the study of foreign lands is incorporated into the eighth grade core program. These courses give the junior high stu' dents a sound basis for high school study. if 1 51 i I 1 . 4 Q. 5 5 f i 'S , 1 ,K I I X 1 U , i J 1 f 4 I ,I . -. C2 ,Q K, 1 Mr. Frank XVargny ,N U.
