717 ??s 14 Senior Class History On September ll, l949, the mill wheel began to turn. We were eighth graders then and extremely proud to be members of the giant, new organiza- tion, Milford Mill. It took many months for us to lose our identification with Woodlawn, Pikesville, and Randallstown and realize that we were now one body working in unity. Lacking class organization we accomplished little as a whole with the exception of adapting ourselves to our new type of life. The mill wheel, turning slowly at first, gained momentum as we entered the ninth grade. We were no longer willing to leave the school organization to the upper classes but offered our enthusiastic cooperation. Bill Mann was elected President of the class in our sophomore year and we found that we were talented in many Helds. By the time of evaluation many of our class members had prepared murals which still adorn our walls today. Other class members became active in the school choir, sports, store, and stu- dent council. In our junior year, Bill Mann was again elected president, Pete Urqu- hart, vice-president, Nancy Tinsley, treasurer, and Sue Agnew, secretary. Our first dance, the Barefoot Ball, was a huge success both financially and other- wise. School spirit was definitely on the up-grade. Our class learned that there was more to school than work. W7 e began to have more fun and realized that our life was not so bad after all. We helped the seniors collect money for pa- tron ads and gained higher positions in school organizations as Jack Beatty was elected vice-president of the Student Council, Karen Brandenburg, secre- tary, Morton Fisher appointed editor of the Mill Wheel, and George Vlases manager of the school store. The Junior-Senior prom was another milestone as a Mardi Gras atmosphere was depicted in the school gymnasium. The Jun- ior Prom found our class a close knit group of individuals whose spirit was en- dowed to their class and to their school. This was magnified as juniors proudly displayed their newly acquired rings. The Milestone Staff began workin May while Eugene Reier took over the editorship of the school newspaper in June. Alas, we found ourselves seniors, the object of many years hard work. Pete Urquhart, the new class president, aided by Linwood Melton, vice-president Mary Lou Dorsey, secretary, and Nancy Tinsley, treasurer, began to plan our activities of the year. Graduation and senior day were planned and the Belvedere Hotel Ball- room was acquired for the senior prom. Time ran out for us at Milford and the school clock struck for the last time as the Class of '54 received their diplo- mas and passed onto a new phase of life.
