J Fine Arts Dramatics: The Dramatics Depart- ment, a recent addition to Milford's curriculum, is offered as an elective to persons in the Senior High School. Given live periods a week, the course also includes speech work. Art: Milford Mill has been well represented in the Annual Scholastic Arts Contest since 1949. Our students have captured many awards. Among these was a National Photographic Award won by Roger Butts. The Art Department literally works miracles with such materials as old newspapers, wire, paste, soap, leather and celluloids. Eye-catching displays go a long way to beautify and liven the entire school. Especially attrac- tive have been the seasonal displays. Vocal Music: The goal of the vo- cal music classes, taught by Mr. Beard, is to help make music enjoyable to every student without neglecting in- struction in skills and techniques. l Hb-0 l Still-life study stumps students - Qbut not for longfj af 'lung MiIford's songsters tune up for the spring operetta.
