SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of '53, having been classmates for four prosperous years, have at many times wondered whether or not we would ever see the days of seniorhood. We have, however, progressed to that point, and in a vast number of ways we have contributed to the precedents and accomplishments of Milford Mill. As we look back on our high school life, many events come to our minds. On September eleventh, nineteen hundred and forty-nine, we entered our new school. We admit now that we were all pretty scared, for after all, this was a new experience, and as we glanced about, there were very few familiar faces. Toting books fthere were no lockers thenj , and sitting on desks Qthere were only a few chairsj , we attempted to cope with our new situation. Remember our first year? There was the fund raising drive, begun by Rae Chappell and Louise Leonard for the purchase of the Old Glory, which now faces us as we enter the auditorium. Peg Boyd further added prestige to the class by writing our Alma Ma- ter Hail Milford High. Do you remember our first Student Council in which two of our ever-popular fellows, Judy Houston and Harry Whitelock, held office? Pioneering was a job, but we were not to be discouraged. Entering the sophomore year with renewed vigor, we elected officers and for the first time were organized. We can't forget the first girls' championship basketball team sparked by such familiar names as Kaszak, Canapp, Schemm, Gorsuch, Schmedes, and Wilkinson. Remember, too, the Sno-Ball, our first attempt at planning a dance and the meager profit of thirty dollars with which we entered our jun- ior year. We were green all right, but we profited by our experiences, and we didn't make the same mistakes twice. We began our Junior year with a bit of apprehension, but we ended it with complete success. With Miss Riley as our sponsor, and a quartet of the fair sex QPeg Boyd, Carol jones, Maggie Grimm, and Judy Houstonj to lead us, we began to set a few precedents of our own. Ours was the first Junior-Senior Prom. The hours of practice we spent on the Grand March, and the last minute revision at the dance when an unexpected crowd braved the storm helped to make this prom one of the most memorable ever. We, too presented the first Senior Farewell Assembly. Under the direction of Rae Chappell, Frank Wilson and Martha Farnham reminisced in a riotous psychologist-anmesia victim routine. The as- sembly became more serious when we bade the Class of '52 farewell by singing Now Is the Hour frevised versionj . That year also the girls' basketball team won their second championship, led as before by members of our class. Finally, the climax came with the Junior Prom. Remember the Southern Plantation, the Debonaires, the ear- ly morning parties, and, incidentally, rain again! The best, however was yet to come, for on September eighth, nineteen hundred and fifty two, we became full-fledged seniors with all the responsibilities and anxieties which ac- company the honor. Among our officers only the vice president was changed as Jack Weber stepped in to protect the masculine interests of our class. Carol Jones and Frank Wilson were lost to the Student Council, she with a mercenary eye for the S. C. dollar and he with a right hand on the gavel. Remember the ad and subscription drives, and the highly successful patron rallies? Re- member the Fall Fling - rain, cider Qwe must admit that a portion of it was not consum- ablej , and the fun we all had? Nor can we forget the first varsity field hockey cham- pionship, and the senior gals, Neal Fringer, janet Warren, Joan Gorsuch and Carol Kirby, who added strength to the big elev- en. Remember the class Christmas party - the faculty hula dancers, and the group sing- ing? Then came the Spring Swing, Senior Day, and finally, that long awaited moment when each received a diploma, making him no longer a student, but an alumnus. New experiences will gradually crowd these events to the back of our minds, but years later, they will be recalled as part of our good old days.
